Abstract

Background: Effective nursing interventions for caring for patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury are still challenging during a transition from hospital to home. Since traumatic brain injury has deep-rooted sequelae, patients and their caregivers require better arrangement and information on the condition to achieve improved outcomes after discharge. Objective: This study aimed to assess transitional care programs to improve outcomes of patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on studies retrieved from ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, and Google Scholar from January 2010 to July 2021. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: Nine studies were systematically selected from 1,137 studies. The standard approaches of interventions used in patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers were education, mentored problem-solving, home-and community-based rehabilitation, counseling, skill-building, and psychological support. We observed that there was significant evidence indicating beneficial effects of intervention in increasing the physical functioning of patients with traumatic brain injury (SMD = -0.44, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.28, p <0.001), reducing the psychological symptoms among caregivers (SMD = -0.42, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.24, p <0.001), and increasing the satisfaction (SMD = -0.35, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.11, p = 0.005). Conclusion: Education, skill-building, and psychological support should be the main components in transitional care nursing programs for patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers.

Abstract

Background: Although advanced treatment and accessibility of HIV/AIDS prevention and care have been increased, HIV-related stigma persists in the Indonesian community, especially among HIV-negative Muslim wives in a serodiscordant relationship. Therefore, understanding their coping strategies of the stigma is a necessity. Objective: The study aimed to explore HIV-related stigma and coping strategies of HIV-negative Muslim wives in a serodiscordant relationship. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among seven HIV-negative Muslim wives in a serodiscordant relationship who experienced stigma.  Data were collected by in-depth interview, and content analysis was used for data analysis. Findings: Three themes emerged from the data. The first theme was the meaning of HIV/AIDS to Muslim wives, including perceiving HIV as a wanita nakal (immoral women) disease, perceiving HIV causes death, assuming herself as a carrier, and presuming HIV is less harmful than Diabetes Mellitus. The second theme was HIV-related stigma experiences, including being shunned by people, rejected by a midwife, and humiliated by a health worker. Finally, the third theme was coping strategies with the stigma, consisting of hiding the husband's HIV-positive status from the neighbors, disclosing HIV-positive status to a selective person, seeking support from the peer group, and strengthening the relationship among family members. Conclusion: HIV/AIDS-related stigma affected people living with HIV/AIDS and their families, and it becomes a barrier to HIV/AIDS reduction programs in the marriage relationship. These findings will be beneficial to nurses and other health professionals to develop stigma reduction interventions related to HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Background: There is a growing emphasis on evaluating discharge readiness, particularly for those involved in the care of patients in transition. Caregivers supporting individuals with traumatic brain injury are a specific focus due to the potential impact of adequate discharge preparation on patient recovery and post-discharge outcomes. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the preparedness of caregivers for the discharge of patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury from the hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Indonesia from January to April 2023 using the Indonesian adaptation of the Preparedness for Caregiving Scale. The study comprised seventy-four caregivers of individuals with traumatic brain injury, chosen through a purposive sampling approach based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection involved a questionnaire covering caregiver information (gender, age, education level, income, and psychological status) and discharge readiness. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses, employing Pearson and chi-square, were conducted. Results: Most caregivers were female (83.8%), spouses of patients (50%), and had a moderate education level (52.7%). The average age of caregivers was 43.7 ± 8.7 years, with an average duration of patient care of 4.22 ± 1.2 days and a monthly income of 220 US dollars. The mean score for readiness for hospital discharge was low (10.08 ± 1.91), indicating that caregivers were not adequately prepared for discharge. Age and education were significant factors (p <0.05) related to hospital discharge readiness. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of assessing caregiver readiness for the discharge of patients with traumatic brain injury from the hospital. Findings indicate a concerning trend of inadequate preparedness among caregivers, with factors such as age and education level significantly influencing readiness. The predominance of female caregivers, often spouses of patients, indicates the need for tailored support strategies. Prioritizing caregiver preparation and support, especially by nurses, is crucial for optimizing patient recovery and post-discharge outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Patients with a history of traumatic life events who enter the healthcare system are especially vulnerable, often posing greater challenges to care delivery. However, little is known about the capacity of nursing staff, especially nursing students, to deliver trauma-informed care (TIC). Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of trauma-informed care among Chinese nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed to survey undergraduate nursing students from a medical college in eastern China. Data were collected using an established self-administered questionnaire on TIC knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) consisting of 21 items. The content validity scale-level CVI was 0.950, and the reliability with Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.963. Results: A total of 118 undergraduate nursing students, ranging from first to fourth year, participated in the survey, and ultimately, 117 students were included in the study, yielding an effective response rate of 99.15%. The average scores for KAP were 70.83±14.58, 77.78±11.11, and 66.67±16.67; however, the good levels of KAP accounted for 16.2%, 45.3% and 6.0%, respectively. Additional analysis showed a weak positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (rs = 0.211, p = 0.022), while there was a moderate positive correlation between knowledge and practice, attitude and practice (rs = 0.309, p < 0.001; rs = 0.310, p < 0.001). Univariate analysis indicated that year of study and experience in caring for trauma patients were significantly related to practice (p = 0.039, p = 0.002). Conclusion: The students’ KAP on trauma-informed care was not at a good level, especially regarding practice and knowledge, and required further strengthening. The findings provide baseline information for further development of a KAP-TIC comprehensive course and exploration of practice ability-centered TIC education for nursing students. Assessing the effectiveness of the newly developed TIC course and learning outcomes in clinical practice is also recommended.
