Abstract

Stunting has the potential to slow brain development and increase the risk of chronic disease. Panekan District is an area with the highest prevalence of stunting in Magetan Regency. This study aims to determine the effect of feeding patterns on the incidence of stunting in children aged 1-5 years. This research is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. Samples were taken using proportional random sampling technique so that a total of 217 mothers with stunted children aged 1-5 years were obtained. Primary data collection used the Child Feeding Questionnaire and secondary data used the EPPGBM application. The results of the Chi-square test can be concluded that the significant value is 0.000 <0.05, the significant value of frequency is 0.027 <0.05, the significant value of the number of meals is 0.016 <0.05. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that there is an influence on the pattern of feeding on the incidence of stunting, so it is recommended that parents use KIA’s books to increase knowledge and observe about the growth and development of their children and always apply the right feeding pattern for their children from birth to adulthood because nutritional intake is one of the important factors to create a healthy and quality life.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety is crucial in healthcare, with medication being a key component in assessing quality. Medication errors, which are unintended issues in the drug administration process, can occur at any stage—prescribing, dispensing, storing, preparing, or administering and pose serious risks to patients. Defined as accidental failures in the drug-treatment process, these errors contribute significantly to preventable adverse events and public health burdens. Addressing medication errors requires a thorough and comprehensive approach to minimize their impact. Purpose: To assess and enhance nurses' understanding of medication errors, their causes, and preventive strategies through a comprehensive medication safety program. Method: A quantitative, single-group, non-randomized quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests. It involved 57 registered nurses from healthcare facilities. Data were collected before and after the program intervention using self-administered questionnaires and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE). Analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: Significant improvements in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding medication safety. The percentage of participants with "Very Good" knowledge increased from 0% before the program to 45.6% afterward, while those with poor knowledge decreased from 68.4% to 15.8%. Good attitudes dropped to 5% post-intervention, and the mean score for practices increased to 16.6667 following the program. Conclusion: The medication safety education program significantly enhanced nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP), leading to a notable reduction in medication errors. The program fostered collaborative learning among healthcare personnel, improved patient outcomes, and increased nurses' confidence in medication administration. It also clarified roles within the healthcare team and promoted a culture of open communication and teamwork, which is vital for patient safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents constitute a significant demographic group susceptible to the development of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The year 2020 witnessed a rise in the number of HIV/AIDS cases, with a notable concentration among individuals aged 20-29 years. Consequently, preventive measures should be targeted towards those under 20 years of age, specifically adolescents. This research aims to identify the impact of health counselling on teenagers’ knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Methods: The study utilizes a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample comprises 90 respondents selected through Simple Random Sampling. The research assesses the average knowledge level of teenagers before and after counselling, utilizing statistical analysis. Results: The findings indicate that the average knowledge level of teenagers before counselling is 1.49, whereas the average knowledge level after counselling is 1.94. The statistical analysis, employing the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, reveals a significant p-value of <0.001. Conclusion: The research concludes that health counselling has a substantial influence on enhancing teenagers' knowledge about HIV/AIDS. This underscores the importance of implementing targeted health interventions and educational programs to raise awareness and knowledge levels among adolescents, contributing to the overall prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Background: Hand hygiene is the most effective way to prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAI). Although the percentage of the HAI performance indicator target was still less than 5%, this study was carried out to reinforce hand hygiene compliance among registered nurses to increase the quality of nursing services. Purpose: To determine the effect of a training program on hand hygiene compliance among registered nurses in a private hospital. Method: This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental design based on an experimental group (single group) among 48 registered nurses from A&E, ICU, OT, PAED, LR, O&G, hemodialysis, and medical-surgical services working in KPJ Sentosa Hospital. The researcher used an audit monitoring pre and post-training to observe an opportunity to perform their hand hygiene practice, adapted from WHO as validated tools in this study. The 5-moment of hand hygiene before touching a patient, before clean/aseptic procedures, after body fluid exposure or risk, after touching a patient, and after touching the patient's surroundings, besides seven steps of hand hygiene compliance were included in this study determine the effect of training program's on hand hygiene compliance among registered nurses. Results: The mean percentage of hand hygiene compliance in the post-test (M = 6.85) after the intervention was significantly higher than before the intervention (M = 6.63). Additionally, the significant (2-tailed) value is 0.020. A p-value <.0.020 was considered statistically significant. Conclusion: Therefore, continuous training programs should continue to enhance the hand hygiene compliance rate among healthcare workers, and the impact will reduce hospital-acquired infections and establish the hospital’s image well in the community.
