Abstract

Emergency and disaster situations demand rapid, accurate, and well-coordinated responses from healthcare professionals. Triage is a critical process for prioritizing patients based on severity, ensuring optimal use of limited medical resources. Nurses are often the first responders responsible for triage implementation, especially in community health centers (Puskesmas) in Indonesia. Knowledge of triage systems, particularly the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) method, is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses’ triage knowledge and length of service in community health centers, providing insights for targeted training and emergency preparedness strategies. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 32 nurses from 19 community health centers in Cirebon, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Triage knowledge was assessed using a validated 16-item questionnaire, with scores categorized into low, moderate, and high. Length of service was measured in years. Data were collected via an online session and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis with a significance level of p < 0.05. Most nurses demonstrated high triage knowledge (75%) with a mean score of 13.0 ± 2.74. Knowledge was highest in disaster definitions (93.8%) and START triage concepts (93.8%), while the most errors occurred in identifying green-labeled (68.8% incorrect) and white-labeled patients (59.4% incorrect). Pearson correlation showed a weak, non-significant positive relationship between length of service and triage knowledge (r = 0.083; p = 0.650). The findings indicate that length of service alone does not ensure higher triage knowledge, especially in community health centers with limited exposure to emergencies. Continuous professional development, scenario-based simulations, and structured training are essential to maintain and enhance nurses’ triage competence. These results can inform the development of targeted educational programs and policies to strengthen emergency preparedness in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality among the elderly. Preventive efforts focusing on increasing knowledge and awareness are essential to reduce stroke risk and improve quality of life. This study used a pre–post-test design with 62 elderly participants who regularly attended the Church Isa Al-Masih in Kediri City. The intervention consisted of stroke prevention education delivered through a standardized procedure (SOP) using leaflets and flipbooks. Knowledge was assessed with a 6-item questionnaire covering hypertension, causes of high blood pressure, normal blood pressure ranges, medication adherence, diet, and breathing relaxation techniques. Data were collected before and after the education and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge following the stroke prevention education (p < 0.05). Structured, interactive, and community-based education enhanced understanding of stroke risk factors, blood pressure management, medication adherence, diet, and relaxation techniques. Stroke prevention education is effective in enhancing knowledge among elderly individuals and may encourage preventive health behaviors. Community-based approaches can serve as a model for similar health promotion programs targeting older adults.

Abstract

Emergency situations and mass casualty incidents require nurses to make rapid, accurate, and evidence-based decisions, particularly in triage using the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) system. Nurses’ affective competence, including confidence, motivation, and emotional readiness, is crucial for effective triage. However, the relationship between length of service and affective competence remains underexplored in Indonesian community health centers. This cross-sectional study involved 27 nurses from 18 community health centers in Banten Province, Indonesia. A 15-item 4-point Likert questionnaire assessed affective competence in START triage, categorized into low, moderate, and high levels. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analyzed the relationship between length of service and affective competence, with significance set at p < 0.05. Respondents were nearly evenly distributed by gender (48.1% male, 51.9% female) with a mean age of 37.07 ± 7.01 years and mean work experience of 14.81 ± 7.40 years. Most nurses (70.8%) demonstrated high affective competence, 29.2% moderate, and none low. Participants reported high confidence in understanding, explaining, and applying START, although some experienced difficulty in real-life scenarios. Correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between length of service and affective competence (r = -0.053, p = 0.793). Nurses’ affective competence appears more influenced by training and practical experience than years of service. Structured training programs are essential to enhance affective competence in START triage, regardless of professional tenure.

Abstract

Background: Spiritual Intelligence (SI) is essential for nurses caring for critically ill surgical patients. Previous studies suggest work experience may influence SI, but the extent and specific dimensions affected remain unclear. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the relationship between work experience and four SI dimensions: Critical Existential Thinking (CET), Personal Meaning Production (PMP), Transcendental Awareness (TA), and Conscious State Expansion (CSE) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 35 nurses working in adult surgical wards at two public hospitals in Kediri, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were registered nurses with at least six months of experience in surgical wards; exclusion criteria were nurses on leave or with incomplete data. Purposive sampling was used. Independent variable: work experience (years); dependent variable: spiritual intelligence measured using the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI-24). Data analysis followed the STROBE guideline and was performed using Lambda tests with α < 0.05. Descriptive statistics were reported for key variables, including mean work experience Result: The mean work experience of participants was 7.3 ± 4.1 years. Work experience was significantly associated with Personal Meaning Production (PMP) (p = 0.034) and Conscious State Expansion (CSE) (p = 0.007), indicating that nurses with longer experience are better able to find life meaning and expand spiritual awareness. No significant relationships were observed for Critical Existential Thinking (CET) and Transcendental Awareness (TA). Conclusion: Work experience positively influences certain SI dimensions (PMP and CSE) but not others (CET and TA). These findings suggest that additional factors, such as education, personal experiences, and workplace environment, contribute to SI development. Practical implications: Healthcare institutions should implement spiritual reflection and mindfulness training to support nurses’ well-being. Future research should include larger samples and explore cultural and intervention-based influences on SI development.

Abstract

Background: Burnout is a common occupational risk among nurses, affecting well-being and patient care. However, limited evidence from low- and middle-income settings compares burnout across different clinical units. The extent of variation between Critical Care and Adult Inpatient Units remains unclear. This study therefore aimed to measure and compare burnout levels between nurses in these two settings and examine their implications for staff well-being and care quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted and reported in accordance with the STROBE guidelines. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 97 nurses (21 from Critical Care Units and 76 from Adult Inpatient Units). Inclusion criteria were registered nurses with ≥6 months of experience in their assigned unit, while nurses on extended leave or undergoing training were excluded. The independent variable was the clinical unit type, and the dependent variable was burnout. Burnout was assessed using the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which measures emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires under researcher supervision, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Result: Nurses in Adult Inpatient Units experienced higher levels of burnout, with 42.1% reporting moderate burnout and 5.3% high burnout, whereas nurses in Critical Care Units reported primarily low burnout (85.7%) and no high burnout. Emotional exhaustion was the most prominent dimension, followed by depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. The difference in burnout levels between units was statistically significant (U = 528.000, Z = -2.751, p = 0.006). Conclusion: Burnout is more pronounced among nurses in Adult Inpatient Units, which may compromise patient care quality, safety, and communication. Targeted interventions—including workload management, psychosocial support, and resilience training—are essential to mitigate burnout, enhance staff well-being, and improve patient outcomes.
