Abstract

Mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and feelings of social isolation, frequently occur in older adults and often go unaddressed in community environments. This research aimed to assess the impact of an educational initiative delivered at the community level on enhancing the psychological well-being of older adults. A pre-experimental approach was utilized, employing a single-group design with measurements taken before and after the intervention. The program emphasized mental health awareness, emotional self-regulation techniques, and involvement in socially engaging community events. The analysis demonstrated notable enhancements in mental well-being. Participants experienced a reduction in depression from moderate to mild levels, decreased anxiety symptoms, and a marked improvement in their sense of social belonging, rising from low to moderate to high engagement. These outcomes demonstrate that a structured and targeted educational strategy can lead to significant improvements in the mental health of older adults. The intervention proved to be both feasible and beneficial in addressing psychological challenges in later life. Furthermore, the study offers valuable insights for public and geriatric mental health practices by presenting adaptable, evidence-driven approaches to promote healthy aging.

Abstract

 Individuals with mental health disorders frequently experience elevated levels of stress and anxiety, which negatively impact their overall well-being. Hypnotherapy has been explored as a complementary nursing intervention to reduce psychological distress, yet its effectiveness in psychiatric settings remains under-researched. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in reducing stress and anxiety levels among individuals with mental health disorders. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 80 participants diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, randomized into an intervention group (n = 40) and a control group (n = 40). The intervention group received six individual hypnotherapy sessions over four weeks, while the control group received standard psychiatric care. Stress and anxiety levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and ANCOVA, with effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals calculated. Results: Participants in the hypnotherapy group showed a significant reduction in stress levels (mean difference = -8.4; 95% CI: -10.1 to -6.7; p < 0.001) and anxiety levels (mean difference = -7.4; 95% CI: -9.0 to -5.8; p < 0.001) compared to the control group. The effect sizes were large for both outcomes (Cohen’s d > 0.8). Additionally, 90% of participants in the intervention group reported high satisfaction with the treatment. Conclusions: Hypnotherapy appears to be an effective complementary intervention for reducing stress and anxiety in psychiatric patients. However, given the limited follow-up duration and sample size, future studies should investigate long-term effects, cultural factors, and integration into nursing practice.

Abstract

Background: Mental health problems, particularly depression, among adolescents in a community have become a growing public health concern globally. Early preventive efforts are essential to reduce the burden of depression. Educational interventions in the community are one of the recommended strategies.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mental health education in increasing adolescents’ knowledge of depression prevention in a community. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 60 adolescents selected through purposive sampling in a rural community setting. The data were collected using a validated knowledge questionnaire on depression prevention and analysed using paired-sample t-tests in SPSS version 28. Results: The findings revealed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score after the intervention (pretest mean = 11.82 ± 2.41; posttest mean = 16.45 ± 1.89; p < 0.001). These results indicate that the mental health education intervention effectively improves adolescents’ knowledge of depression prevention.Conclusion: Mental health education can be an effective strategy in improving adolescent knowledge of depression prevention in community settings. This finding supports the importance of community-based educational programs as part of sustainable mental health promotion aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

The digital transformation in healthcare has driven the emergence of nursing technologies as strategic innovations that bridge the gap between the limitations of conventional service methods and the demands of modern nursing care. However, the effectiveness of these technologies largely depends on how they are leveraged for patient education and clinical decision support to improve service quality. This study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation in nursing practice with a focus on three key dimensions: technology utilization, patient education, and clinical decision support. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 300 nursing participants from Indonesia and Nigeria selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that technology utilization exerts a significant effect on the effectiveness of patient education, and patient education acts as a strong predictor of accurate clinical decision support. Furthermore, increased technology integration is consistently predicted to enhance nurses' decision-making capacity and quality of care, whereas technological barriers may potentially diminish both. In conclusion, digital transformation in nursing has demonstrated clear advantages over conventional methods in terms of information efficiency, education accessibility, and clinical decision accuracy. This study contributes by integrating patient education and clinical decision support into digital health adoption literature, while also offering practical guidance for system developers and policymakers to create more efficient and evidence-based nursing practice environments in developing countries.
