Abstract

The present study examines the relationship between high altitude and anxiety levels among employees at one of Indonesia’s leading petrochemical company. Using a quantitative research design, the investigation focused on 42 employees working in distinct altitude zones within the facility. Data were collected over a six month period during normal operational hours, employing the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) as the standardized psychological assessment tool. Altitude measurements for work zones were recorded precisely, with categorized levels defines as low, moderate, high and very high altitude zone. Descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, and range values, were computed and correlation tests conducted R programming to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between altitude and anxiety. Results revealed the mean HARS scores among 42 participants was 21.4 (SD = 5.7), with a range of 11 to 33 whilst a statistically significant positive correlation between increased altitude exposure and elevated anxiety scores (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), suggesting that higher work zone are associated with greater anxiety levels among employees. This study also discusses occupational health and safety concerns, ethical considerations, and the limitations intrinsic to a cross-sectional quantitative design. Implications for workplace design and employee well-being interventions are explored, with recommendations for future research addressing broader environmental and psychosocial variables.

Abstract

The increasing demand for globally competent nurses has prompted many Indonesian nurses to pursue international licensure, such as the NCLEX-RN in the United States. Understanding the motivations behind this pursuit is essential for informing nursing education, workforce planning, and international migration policies. This hermeneutic phenomenological study explored the lived experiences and motivational drives of Indonesian female nursing graduates pursuing the Registered Nurse (RN) licensure by passing the NCLEX-RN examination in California. Utilizing in-depth interviews with ten Indonesian female nurses who have successfully obtained their RN licenses and are practicing in California, the research aimed to uncover the complex interplay of personal, professional, economic, and socio-cultural factors shaping their decisions and experiences. The study revealed five overarching themes “Economic aspirations and the pursuit of financial stability,” “Professional growth and the desire for advanced opportunities,” Familial responsibilities and the drive to support loved ones,” “The allure of western healthcare systems and improved working conditions,” and “Navigating cultural adjustments and maintaining identity in a hew environment.” The findings provide valuable insights into the motivations, challenges, and resilience of Indonesian female nurses seeking international opportunities, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of the global nursing migration phenomenon. The implications of the study address the need for culturally sensitive support systems and policies to facilitate successful integration and retention of international nurses in healthcare settings.

Abstract

The Early Warning System Score (EWSS) is increasingly recognized as an essential tool for identifying clinical deterioration in hospitalized patients. This literature review synthesizes the outcomes and practical aspects of EWSS implementation over the past decade, with a focus on studies conducted in teaching, community, and specialized care hospitals. Articles indexed in English databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The research steps were performed according to PRISMA writing standard and the quality assessment was done using CASP critical appraisal tools due to the heterogeneity of the study designs according to the inclusion criteria. Drawing from over 26 scholarly sources—80% of which have been published within the last five years the review examines key implementation metrics such as patient safety  indicators, staff response times, and cost-effectiveness while detailing the assessment tools and measurements used to evaluate EWSS outcomes. Quantitative data were analyzed to assess success rates and pinpoint failure points across multiple hospital departments including emergency, intensive care, and in-patient wards. Implementation challenges related to staff training, resource allocation, and integration with existing patient monitoring systems are discussed, along with recommendations to enhance system performance and clinical decision-making. The findings suggest that while EWSS can significantly improve early detection of clinical deterioration, its success is contingent upon tailored implementation strategies that consider the unique constraints of varied hospital types. This review contributes to a better understanding of how global standards and local practices interact in the effective utilization of EWSS, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and hospital safety.

Abstract

This integrative review aims to examines how head nurses' leadership styles impact quantifiable job performance metrics of staff inpatient nurses who work in acute care hospital settings. This research review synthesizes quantitative studies from peer-reviewed nursing journals over the past 10 years. We utilized databases CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus to locate studies that incorporate standardized quantitative metrics and critical appraisal tools for assessing leadership effectiveness. The research team used a PRISMA flow diagram to maintain transparency throughout the process of literature selection. Transformative leadership shows the strongest positive correlation with nurse job performance outcomes such as increased patient satisfaction ratings alongside reduced staff turnover and improved clinical skills. The research field exhibits notable gaps because study designs vary widely while performance metrics and longitudinal data remain insufficient. Future research should employ strong methodological frameworks to further clarify how specific leadership behaviors affect staff outcomes. Nurse managers and policy makers should focus on creating leadership development programs and organizational approaches that optimize staff performance within acute care settings.
