Abstract

Background: Reductions in quality of life among patients with End-Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) can be further compromised by anemia, which is a common complication of ESRF. This study evaluated the impact of anemia on the quality of life among dialysis patients with ESRF in a private dialysis center in Kuantan. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design conducted on 113 ESRF patients at multiple dialysis centers in Kuantan. Demographic, socioeconomic, and disease status data were collected, and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) short-version questionnaire was used to assess the patient's quality of life. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26 to identify correlations among patient factors. Results: The study findings revealed that 46.4% have mild anemia, 38.4% have moderate anemia, and 16.2% have severe anemia.76% of respondents rated the quality of life as "Bad" and 6% as "Very Bad". Only 19% of respondents have rated the quality of life as "Normal." Conclusion: The findings suggest that anemia significantly affects the quality of life of patients with ESRF. These findings can help healthcare providers develop interventions to manage anemia and improve the quality of life of these patients. The study also emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring and management of anemia among patients with ESRF to ensure optimal health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Falls are the second leading cause of accidental injury and non -intentional deaths worldwide, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Purpose: To identify knowledge, attitude and practices on preventing patient fall among Registered Nurses of a Private Hospital. Method: A quantitative non-experimental cross-sectional study was chosen as the research design. The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from Cho and Jang (2020), and the knowledge test consists of 13 items as a questionnaire adapted from the Nursing clinical practice guidelines on preventing patient fall in hospitals by the ministry of health, Singapore. An online google form was distributed to a sample size of 132 Registered Nurses (Using Krejcie and Morgan Table (1970). For the study population, the researcher involved all the registered nurses working at private hospital with a total population of N=200. The data were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Science (SPPS) Version. Participants’ knowledge, attitude and practices were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated for the relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and practices in fall-prevention activities. Results: The majority of registered nurses in private hospital have good knowledge on patient fall prevention. Conclusion: The study suggested multifaceted implementation programs for fall prevention should be implemented to strengthen their positivity in knowledge, attitude and practice.

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.
