Abstract

Multisensory space applies sensory stimulation that helps train cognitive and motor functions through elements that stimulate the senses in the elderly. This concept is identified for people with moderate to severe cognitive decline and neurodegenerative pathologies. Aim: This study aimed to identify sensory utilities and activities in designing a multisensory space with a transcultural nursing approach. Methods: Researchers collected data qualitatively using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique to explore elements related to the function of the multisensory space. The FGD also identified transcultural nursing aspects that could be applied to the room concept. The FGD involved five participants selected according to the research objectives to explore the needs and activities of multisensory stimulation for the elderly. The FGD was conducted for two hours. Participants were the health service officer, geriatric nurses, one Alzheimer's dementia activist, one architect, and one cultural figures. The results of the FGD were analyzed using the Colaizzi method approach by transcribing data from the FGD results, reading the FGD transcripts several times, and analyzing themes using Atlas.ti. Transcripts and meaningful statements were returned to participants to form categories, subthemes, and themes. Results: The themes analyzed were related to elements in the multisensory room which included both equipment and activities that supported sensory stimulation. Discussion: The identification of spatial elements and research partners in the development of multisensory space design supports the fulfillment of the needs of applicable and innovative elderly health services, especially in applying the concept of transcultural nursing for multisensory rooms for the elderly Conclusion: Cultural considerations play a significant role in the effectiveness of sensory elements, as sensory experiences that resonate with an individual’s cultural background can evoke positive emotions and memories.

Abstract

A prolonged cough, excessive sputum production, narrowing of the airways, and shortness of breath or a decrease in respiration rate were symptoms caused by COPD. One of the breathing exercise methods that could help expel sputum, maintain lung elasticity, reduce shortness of breath, and improve lung function was the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT). ACBT was often given to patients with lung problems; therefore, a review was necessary to determine the effectiveness of ACBT on the respiration rate of COPD patients. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique on the respiration rate of patients with COPD. Method: Literature sources were searched using online databases such as ScienceDirect, ProQuest, CambridgeCore, Oxford Academic, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. The keywords used for the search included Active Cycle of Breathing Technique, Respiration Rate, and COPD Patients. The articles obtained were then analyzed to identify differences and similarities among the articles. The articles were identified using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method. The extracted data were compiled into a table. Results: From a total of 3,835 articles, 5 articles met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: The review results indicated that the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) was effective in reducing the respiratory rate (RR) in patients with COPD.

Abstract

Overweight in adolescents is a global health issue that has shown a significant increase in recent decades. This condition has a multidimensional impact, particularly on the physical, psychological, social aspects, and overall quality of life of adolescents. Children and adolescents who are overweight often experience body shaming, social stigma, decreased self-esteem, and social isolation, all of which can contribute to a lower quality of life. Although numerous studies have explored the relationship between being overweight and quality of life, most have focused only on physical or psychological dimensions. Many of the existing studies examine just one or two aspects of quality of life and lack a comprehensive consideration of cultural factors, developmental age, and social interactions. Objective to comprehensively review the scientific literature that examines the impact of overweight on the quality of life among adolescents. This study employed a scoping review approach based on the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature searches were conducted through three databases: Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, using the keywords "Overweight," "Adolescents," and "Quality of Life." The selected articles were published within the last three years (2023–2025) and met the inclusion criteria, including being written in English, open access, and relevant to the topic. A total of 15 articles were selected from an initial search result of 18,441 records. The article selection involved a multi-stage screening process, including title and abstract screening, full-text review, and assessment using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each article was then analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to the impact of overweight on adolescents' quality of life. These studies employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, including multivariate analysis, logistic models, as well as mediation and moderation analyses. Most of the articles reported that overweight has a negative impact on adolescents’ quality of life, particularly in the physical, psychological, social, and academic functioning domains. Overweight in adolescents has a significant impact on various aspects of quality of life. These findings highlight the importance of developing multidimensional interventions that not only address physical aspects but also take into account psychosocial factors and the adolescent’s environment.
