<![CDATA[Welding is associated with regular exposure to dust and fumes. Many studies have proven that there is a decrease in lung function due to exposure to this agent. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the risk factors of impaired lung function among welders in Binong, Tangerang, Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional study design. The lung function of 30 welders is measured by spirometry using the parameters of vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FCV), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and the ratio of FEV1/FVC. Chi-square analysis was performed and showed that 20 respondents (67%) had impaired lung function, while 10 respondents (33%) had normal lung function. Another factor contributing to impaired lung function among welding workers was their nutritional status, whereby respondents with abnormal nutritional status (body mass index (BMI) 18.4 or ≥25.1) were at 2.15 times higher risk of suffering from impaired lung function compared to respondents with normal nutritional status. Additionally, respondents who did not exercise regularly were at 1.22 times higher risk of impaired lung function compared to those who exercised regularly. Therefore, it is necessary to collaborate with the local community health center to monitor the health of the welders. It is recommended to carry out regular health checks, specifically pulmonary examination, at least once at a year to keep track of the health development of the workers. It is important to equip the workspace with a good ventilation system, and to have the welder work with appropriate personal protective equipment.]]>

<![CDATA[Spiritual care is an important component in providing holistic nursing care to both individuals and families. Therefore, nurses need to have knowledge and skills to recognize and address patients’ spiritual needs. Unfortunately, the spiritual aspect in health care is often neglected. Spiritual care in health care has started to be taught in nursing schools, specifically in Universitas Pelita Harapan, in which spiritual care is one of the core subjects that is taught by a faculty member who went through a training in spiritual care. Realizing that spiritual care is not necessarily included in nursing curricula in most nursing institutions in Indonesia, a webinar on spiritual care was conducted, especially in the context of palliative care. The purpose of this Community Service is to inform spiritual care in the context of palliative care to nursing students throughout Indonesia. The webinar was held on August 7, 2020 which was attended by 202 participants from various regions in Indonesia. The method used was lecture and question and answer. Evaluation was done by giving pre- and post-tests to participants. Participants’ feedback was obtained at the end of the webinar. The implementation of this webinar was proven to provide additional knowledge to nursing students who participated, indicated by an increase in the average pre-test and post-test scores by 21 points. BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Asuhan spiritual merupakan komponen penting di dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan yang holistik baik kepada individu maupun keluarga.

Menyadari bahwa asuhan spiritual belum tentu termasuk di dalam pengajaran di kebanyakan institusi keperawatan yang ada di Indonesia, maka dilaksanakan sosialisasi atau pengenalan melalui webinar mengenai asuhan spiritual, khususnya dalam konteks perawatan paliatif. Tujuan dari kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan tentang asuhan spiritual dalam konteks perawatan paliatif kepada mahasiswa keperawatan di seluruh Indonesia. Webinar tersebut dilaksanakan pada 7 Agustus 2020 yang dihadiri oleh 202 orang peserta dari berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Metode yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan ini adalah dalam bentuk ceramah dan diskusi tanya jawab.

<![CDATA[Independent Double Check (IDC) is a strategy that plays a key role in medication safety. Studies have shown that its use can detect up to 95% of medication errors reducing incidents related to drug administration. Despite this benefit, not all nurses have implemented it. This study aims to describe nurses’ compliance in applying IDC at a private hospital in West Indonesia. The study used the descriptive quantitative method and purposive sampling was utilized in choosing 52 respondents. Data were collected from the respondents working in two inpatient wards where the highest number of medication errors occurred. A checklist was used to observe the nurses administer medications to patients in three occasions. The analysis of data employed univariate analysis method. The results showed that 35 (67.3%) of the respondents implemented IDC before medication administration, while 17 (32.7%) did not implement it. However, those who implemented IDC did not contribute to the reduction of medication errors in these wards. The authors recommend that further studies be conducted to investigate the factors associated with nurses’ compliance and non-compliance in applying IDC, and the relationship between nurses’ compliance to IDC and incidents of medication errors.]]>

<![CDATA[Burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental stress caused by chronic workplace pressure. Nurses are often confronted with stress-laden situations related to varied functions and extent of responsibilities causing the burnout syndrome. This study aims to describe the burnout level of inpatient nurses working in the (inpatient) units of a private hospital in West Java. This is a descriptive quantitative study conducted among all the 54 nurses in this hospital’s inpatient units. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBIHSS), a tool that measures three dimensions of the burnout syndrome: personal accomplishments, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, was used. Data collected were analysed with the univariate analysis that described the respondents’ characteristics and their responses on the MBI-HSS. Results showed that majority of the respondents are females (94.4%); more than half (61.1%) have a Bachelor of Nursing degree; 74.1% are in the 20-30 years age group; and 51.9% had more than one year of work experience. Moreover, the respondents rated depersonalization characterized by feelings of unreality and strangeness about one's own behaviour as the dimension that highly contributed to burnout (98%). Emotional exhaustion, the feelings of being emotionally overextended and exhausted by one's work was rated low (40.7%). Moreover, personal achievement that measures feelings of competence and successful achievement in one's work had a high 70.4%. The researchers recommend that administrators provide nursing staff with continuing education sessions on strategies to effectively cope with stressful situations in the workplace to counter the burnout syndrome.]]>

<![CDATA[To improve the quality of online learning in Indonesia higher education, Faculty of Nursing (FoN), Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) supported by the Directorate of Higher Education in Indonesia that known as DIKTI developed an online course named Family Nursing. The course is a community nursing course in regard with the care of family nursing and it discusses the concept of family, family health, and the concept of a wellness family. The course was developed to achieve the mission of equitable access to information, relevance, and improvement of the quality of higher education throughout Indonesia, especially in nursing education. The online course was offered in one private nursing school in Jakarta area that never had any online course nor using online learning method in the delivery of their subjects. The aim of this report was to describe students’ experiences in an online course. This paper reports on the evaluation work of one semester online/blended learning project funded by DIKTI. Sixty five students, who experienced the online/blended learning method for the first time, were enrolled in the online course. The students have agreed to fill an evaluation online form after their mid semester exam. The evaluation form consisted of closed- and openended questions. This report revealed that most students (> 70%) agreed that their experience on the online (blended) learning was positive. However, it should be noted that, a quarter of students (27-28%) had less motivation to do the independent learning and perceived that the online learning was a learning experience that lack of support in developing their critical thinking. Several important themes further emerged including students’ issues (lack of knowledge and motivation), teaching-learning process issues (lack of facilities and clarity) and academic staff issues (minimal feedback and different perceptions between academic staff and students). Though online/blended learning can be employed to support nursing and healthcare education, there is limited appreciation of students' experience and the use of e-learning. Context is also being considered as an important part when applying the online/blended learning, thus, this report provides a new understanding of students’ opinions on their first experience when engaging with online learning at a private nursing school. This report further provides a number of inhibiting factors continue to affect the student experience.]]>
