Abstract

Background This study assessed parental knowledge and awareness of children with thalassemia. Thalassemia care among 65 parents at a Kota Kinabalu hospital focuses on parental knowledge and awareness of children with thalassemia. The objectives were to identify parents' level of knowledge of thalassemia care and assess their awareness of specific care needs. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study of the thalassemia families of patients at Likas Women and Children's Hospital, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Using random sampling. The study involved 65 respondents from Sabah Women and Children in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Data from questionnaires and tests were processed using SPSS version 24, with descriptive statistics analysing frequency and percentage, expressed as mean ± standard deviation.  Results Most respondents had a high level of knowledge about thalassemia, an inherited disease caused by insufficient red blood cell supply. They understood that untreated conditions could deteriorate thalassemia patients but could lead normal lives with proper therapy. They also knew that thalassemia could be detected through blood tests and that blood donation could be beneficial. However, they had moderate knowledge of the connection between thalassemia and anaemia, blood transfusions as the only treatment, and their ability to identify and avoid thalassemia during pregnancy. Conclusion This study emphasises the need for education, community engagement, and healthcare involvement to enhance the understanding and support of individuals with thalassemia, suggesting that comprehensive strategies, including education programs and collaborations with local organisations, can be implemented.

Abstract

Background: Creativity and innovation are essential competencies in nursing education, as they support problem-solving, critical thinking, and adaptability in dynamic healthcare environments. However, existing research in nursing education has more commonly emphasized academic performance, clinical competence, and critical thinking, with less focus on creativity and innovation.  Purpose: This study aimed to examine the association between selected sociodemographic and academic characteristics, namely age, gender, cumulative grade point average (CGPA), year of study, and exposure to creativity- and innovation-related courses, and creativity and innovation among undergraduate nursing students.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate nursing students at a public university. Using total sampling, 167 students were included. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the variables. Pearson correlation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed to examine associations, with significance set at p < 0.05.Results: A total of 167 undergraduate nursing students were included. The mean total creativity and innovation score was 27.56 (SD = 0.79). Male students and those who had attended creativity- and innovation-related courses had significantly higher scores (p = 0.007 and p < 0.001, respectively). Creativity and innovation scores were positively correlated with CGPA (r = 0.188, p = 0.015) and negatively correlated with age (r = -0.162, p = 0.036), with no significant difference by year of study (p = 0.872).Conclusion: Creativity and innovation among undergraduate nursing students were significantly associated with gender, attendance in creativity- and innovation-related courses, CGPA, and age, but not with year of study. These findings suggest that both academic performance and educational exposure may play a role in shaping creativity and innovation competency, highlighting the importance of supportive learning experiences in nursing education.
