Abstract

Purpose: To describe the definition of quality of life (QoL) and identify the most appropriate tool for QoL assessment used in patients with TBI.Method: Searching was conducted from PubMed, CINAHL, EBSCO, and ProQuest during 2000-2011. A total of 33 studies were analyzed for this review consisting of 9 review studies, 2 intervention studies, and 22 descriptive studies.Result: Two important definitions of QoL were used in studies related to TBI namely achievement and subjective well-being. Although varieties of generic measurements have been used to measure QoL in TBI patients, there was a lack of TBI-specific Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) instrument. Despite the different approach and time measured either short or long outcomes, appropriate domains of QoL tool seem essential particularly among those with moderate and severe TBI.Conclusion: QoL is a wide concept which can be defined in several dimensions. The QOLIBRI as a new disease-specific QoL measurement in TBI seems a feasible and valid approach for the assessment of QoL in TBI. However, the application across cultural remains a challenge and needs a validation.

Abstract

Background: Disaster nursing has become a critical concern, worldwide, due to a trend toward management strategy. However, limited studies are conducted in Thailand where nurses have faced increasing threat to both natural and man-made disasters.Purpose: To describe the amounts of learning needs (both expressed and normative needs) regarding disaster nursing among Thai nurses.Methods: The sample included 454 registered nurses who have been working inThailand for at least six months selected through the multi-stage sampling methods. Data were collected using questionnaire included the Learning Needs Regarding Disaster Nursing Questionnaire (LNDNQ), developed based on the learning needs triangle model and the concept the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies. The LNDNQ was tested for content validity by three experts and for reliability with 20 nurses using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient yielding a value of .97 (expressed needs), and .99 (normative needs), respectively. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics.Result: This study found that the top three contents of the most learning needs in expressed needs were similarly with the most normative needs which items were related to mitigation/prevention and response phase. The most learning needs they expressed were assisting and first aid for victims at the scene (n=229, 50.4%), followed by basic principle of triage (n=218, 48.0%), and training of the disaster nursing management plans (n=217, 47.80%). However, the top least expressed needs were related to mitigation/prevention and recovery/rehabilitation phase. These were providing an information for community with the notification, and announcement the severity level of disaster (n=32, 7.0%), followed by preparing and organizing the evacuation area for victims (n=37, 8.1%).Conclusion: The contents related to the most learning needs (expressed needs andnormative needs) regarding disaster nursing must be emphasized in training course and nursing curriculums in Thailand to improve Thai nurses' capability in disaster nursing management.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic foot care behaviors (DFCB) are a fundamental component of the prevention of diabetic foot complications. This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effect of a self-management support program on the achievement of DFCB goals in Indonesian diabetic patients.Method: Thirty-five subjects were recruited from the diabetic unit of a district hospital in West Java, Indonesia. The subjects received a five-week diabetic foot care self-management (SM) support program. This program consisted of three sequential phases based on the self-management method proposed by Kanfer and Gaelick-Buys (1991): self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement. The strategies used in this program consisted of individual foot care education, goal setting and action planning, and brief weekly counseling and follow-ups. The goals achieved from the second to the fourth weeks were evaluated weekly by phone call follow-ups with a face-to-face interview evaluation in the fifth week. The level of goal achievement was determined by counting the number of successfully implemented actions based on the subject’s action plans. The actual goal achievement was then classified into three levels: goal completely achieved, goal partially achieved and no behavioral change (no action) at all. Results: Most of the subjects (94.3%) were able to completely achieve their first week goals whereas only approximately two-thirds of the subjects were able to completely achieve their goals in the second to the fourth weeks. Throughout the program, less than half of the subjects (42.9%) completely achieved all four weekly goals although only one subject (2.9%) was unable to achieve any of the weekly goals. The most improved DFCB component in each of the first to fourth weeks was foot hygiene, footwear, toenail care and a combination of foot hygiene and footwear, respectively.  Conclusion: This SM support program effectively improved the Indonesian diabetic patients’ foot care behaviors. Therefore, nurses can apply this program in practice in enhancing DFCB in order to prevent diabetic foot ulceration.Keywords: Diabetic foot care behaviors, self-management, diabetic patients
