Abstract

Introduction: Spirituality plays an important role in the physical health of patients with chronic diseases. This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurses in providing spiritual care to patients with heart failure (HF) in Indonesia. Method: This study employed a descriptive exploratory design with a qualitative approach. Thirteen nurses from the cardiology unit were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and field notes. Thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the data. Results: Five major themes emerged, including perceptions regarding spiritual care, the importance of meeting the spiritual needs of patients, implementation of spiritual care, obstacles in providing spiritual care, and nurses’ hopes. Most participants associated spiritual care with religious practices. All participants believed that the spiritual needs of patients with HF must be met. However, spiritual care was still rarely implemented. Nurses commonly assisted patients in performing religious practices rather than addressing existential needs. The barriers to providing spiritual care originated from patients, nurses, and the availability of tools. The nurses hoped that specific personnel could provide spiritual care and that spiritual guidance activities in the hospital could be reactivated. Conclusions: Spiritual care remains a neglected aspect in the treatment of patients with HF. Facilitating religious practices is the primary intervention that fulfills the spiritual needs of patients with HF in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is a multi-linguistic country using the official language of Bahasa Indonesia. It is important to use formal language to collect research data without misinterpretation of study outcome and intervention effect with high accuracy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze whether the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) instrument translated into the Indonesian version was reliable and valid for measuring depression in floods-affected communities. Methods: The forward-backward translation was used to translate the BDI-II from English to Indonesian version. We tested the reliability and validity including content and construct validity through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). We recruited 107 annual flood survivors in West Java, Indonesia as participants to test the psychometric testing. Results: The structures shown by the EFA are two factors, with Factor 1 representing negative cognitive-attitude domains and somatic symptom items consisting of Factor 2. The CFA concludes that the general factor model best fits the data on the basis Goodness-of-Fit Index (GFI)= 0.8; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA)= 0.09; Standard Root-Mean-Square Residual (SRMSR)); Comparative Fit Index (CFI)= 0.81; Tucker–Lewis Index (TLI)= 0.79; and p-value χ2 = < 0.01, χ2/df: 1.82). Conclusions: The results showed that the BDI-II Indonesian version has good reliability and validity and can be used to measure depression status among people who suffer floods in community setting. Future studies need to be validated within multiple socio-cultural groups.
