Abstract

Emerging infectious diseases (EID) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide since it initially attacks a population or has existed before but is increasing very rapidly in terms of the number of new cases in a population. Early detection of EID patients refers to early screening. Screening of patients with suspected EID such as Covid-19 or other airborne infectious diseases must be performed at the first contact with suspected patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of EID screening instrument applied at the Emergency Room (ER). This was a quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample size consisted of 34 nurses at the ER of Mangusada Hospital, Bali, who were selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention administered in this study was the implementation of EID screening instrument before the patients entered triage for 1 month on June 2022 at the ER of Mangusada Hospital. After ensuring the distribution and homogeneity of the data, a paired t-test was employed for parametric statistical data analysis. The result of the study showed a p-value of (0.004) or p <α (0.05). So, it can be concluded that there was an effect of the screening instrument applied at the ER of Mangusada Hospital on the preparedness of nurses in dealing with EID. Thus, the screening for patients with EID should be implemented in each emergency unit. The study finding can help improve nurse preparedness regarding the prevention of EID. In addition, future study is recommended to assess the competence of nurses regarding the prevention of EID.

Abstract

Generally, patients with heart failure will experience activity intolerance resulting in functional limitations and decreased self-care abilities. One of the innovations offered in the Digital era is to develop a mobile phone e-nursing application with mobile technology that can be used by heart failure patients anywhere and anytime. This research aims to create a mobile phone application prototype to improve self-care for heart failure patients. This study is a research and development design. This study involved 32 heart failure patients who had medical records and a history of hospitalization at Mangusada Hospital using a purposive sampling technique. This research produced a prototype the self-care e-nursing application prototype which was developed into 6 main menus including education, weight monitoring, symptom monitoring, diet programs, medication reminders, and rest-activity menus.  Then the prototype was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ). The research results show that the average SUS score reached 84.84 and the overall PSSUQ score was above 5. The conclusion is this prototype is classified as acceptable. Thus, this prototype is worthy of being developed into a real application in the future. Future research is needed to investigate the integration of the e-nursing application with electronic medical records (EMRs) within existing hospital systems.
