Abstract

Despite the rapid advancement and evolution of nursing informatics applications in healthcare, the incorporation and refurbishing of undergraduate informatics competencies in the curriculum has been organized. the integration of informatics in the Philippine curriculum began decade ago. However, it is still not identified whether these initiatives are successful in enhancing NI skills among graduates considering the low rate of technology utilization by most hospitals in the country. As a result, it requires a global need for nursing informatics competencies to be updated and revisited into the nursing curriculum. The objective of this study is to gather accord from the literature and to determine the definition of fundamental nursing informatics competencies for baccalaureate nursing programs in the Philippines. A review of related studies and corroboration of related literature such as different nursing curricula, perspectives of nursing informatics competencies in every country and to the resource organizations standards providing trainings, conducts research and guide HEIs was performed. International and local organizations were preparing the advancement of informatics through research, trainings, continuous quality improvement, and innovations in HIT. The identified common ground plugging the gap in nursing informatics competencies were nursing care and management proficiencies, information literacy and management, computer skills, health facilities’ technology resources, and ethics and legal understanding in HIT (NICHE). The prior competencies (basic computer skills, information literacy, and information) should be adaptable to local differences and consulted to industry partners and stakeholders. These attempts at competency standardization have to be balanced with suppleness to account for local variations and conditions.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major worldwide health concern, with some regions in Indonesia facing challenges in achieving case detection objectives. This initiative sought to enhance tuberculosis case detection using mobile X-ray screening, the provision of preventative medication, and the identification of latent tuberculosis infections among household contacts and high-risk groups, especially stunting children. The results indicated that just 6.03% of participants had a history of tuberculosis contact, but 67.84% presented risk factors including malnutrition, exposure to smoking, previous tuberculosis diagnosis, and diabetes. Chest radiography revealed anomalies in 6.03% of individuals, requiring further diagnostic verification. Furthermore, stunting was widespread, with 48% categorized as moderately stunted and 27% as severely stunted. Post-intervention evaluations indicated an enhanced mother's understanding of tuberculosis. Initiatives to enhance tuberculosis case finding among women and children under five in rural regions must be expanded and strengthened to decrease transmission, enhance detection rates, bridge information gaps, mitigate stigma, and increase treatment coverage, ultimately leading to reduced tuberculosis transmission.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, including at Puskesmas Oesapa in Kupang City. One of the challenges in TB treatment is the low adherence of patients in routinely consuming Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT). The use of a digital application such as My Therapy is expected to help patients remember their medication schedules and monitor their adherence. The objective is to analyze the effect of using the My Therapy digital application on medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post- test approach. The sample consisted of 47 Tuberculosis patients who were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data was collected using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed- Rank Test because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed that the average medication adherence score increased after the intervention using the My Therapy application. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference in adherence levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The use of the My Therapy digital application is effective in improving medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This application is expected to be a supportive innovation in efforts to control TB in then community.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with a high number of cases in Indonesia, including in the working area of the Sikumana Community Health Center. Low patient compliance in undergoing therapy is one of the main challenges. Families play an important role in accompanying patients, from monitoring medication intake and providing nutrition to giving emotional support. To determine the effect of implementing health care tasks through family support on tuberculosis patients at the Sikumana Community Health Center. Quantitative research with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 30 respondents who were family members of tuberculosis patients. The instruments used were a family support questionnaire covering five family health tasks and a SAP on Family Support. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: In the pretest, most families were in the adequate (53%) and poor (46.7%) categories, with none in the good or very good categories. After the intervention, the posttest results showed a significant improvement, with 60% of respondents in the good category and 20% in the very good category. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value < 0.001, indicating a significant effect of family support on the improvement of health care tasks. Family support was proven to increase family involvement and understanding in supporting TB patient treatment. Suggestions: Family support needs to be made a sustainable strategy in primary care, with a broader sample coverage and innovative interactive educational media to increase effectiveness.
