Abstract

Background: Breast cancer presents significant psychological challenges along with physical health concerns, particularly in settings where cultural and spiritual values play a critical role in patient care. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a religious caring program on the psychological well-being of Indonesian females with breast cancer. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest control group design, conducted from January to July 2019 at a chemotherapy unit in Bandung, Indonesia. The patients with breast cancer were assigned to the experimental group (n = 55) and the control group (n = 57). Data were collected using the Psychological Well-Being Scale before and three weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed using independent t-test and ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance). Results: There was a significant improvement in the mean psychological well-being score in the experimental group following the intervention compared to the control group, with the experimental group showing a significantly higher mean score (Cohen’s d = 1.4548, p <0.001). None of the covariates significantly affected psychological well-being among the experimental group (p >0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that a religion-based caring program enhances psychological well-being. Thus, the program was effective and particularly well-suited for clinical nurses, suggesting that it should be recommended for Indonesian females with breast cancer to promote their recovery.

Abstract

Background: Nursing clinical education is a key to developing nursing students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies. Few studies have attempted to explore students’ perceptions regarding the qualities of effective clinical instructors. Objective: The current study aims to explore nursing students’ perceptions of effective clinical instructors’ qualities in Jordan.  Methods: A qualitative exploratory approach was used to deepen our understanding of nursing students’ perceptions of effective clinical instructors’ qualities. A total of 21 nursing students were involved, and data were collected from June to August 2023. Data were analyzed using the thematic analysis approach. Results: The thematic analysis revealed two main themes. The first theme was professional qualities, comprising four subthemes: professional knowledge and experience, acting as a role model, performing as a caring one, and assembling effective communication. The second theme was building a good rapport. The findings demonstrated that clinical instructor qualities impacted how students perceived their teaching effectiveness, and they identified professional knowledge and competence as crucial qualities of an effective clinical instructor. It was acknowledged that caring behaviors and effective communication skills were essential behavioral attributes for clinical instructors.  Conclusion: Nursing students have valued particular characteristics of effective clinical instructors. These characteristics were knowledge, caring, relationships, role models, and communication. Further research is needed to validate the study’s findings.

Abstract

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a highly effective coronary artery disease treatment, providing immediate relief and promising long-term benefits. However, it is a major procedure with significant risks, including the potential for depression. Many patients experience depression following CABG, which can negatively impact their overall recovery, affecting both physical and mental health. Objective: This study aimed to determine factors predicting depression in patients following CABG surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with data collected between January and April 2024. A total of 272 post-CABG patients from two super tertiary care hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand, were recruited through purposive sampling. All research instruments were validated and tested for reliability. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results: The study found that hope, optimism, illness perception, social support, and anxiety were correlated with depression (adjusted R² = 0.381), but these variables explained only 38.1% of the variance (p <0.05). Among these factors, anxiety (β = 0.311), optimism (β = 0.203), social support (β = -0.117), and illness perception (β = -0.143) were significant predictors (p <0.05), while hope was not a significant predictor. Thus, anxiety emerged as the most crucial predictor of depression in patients who have undergone CABG. Conclusion: Nurses play a vital role in preventing and managing depression in post-CABG patients. Screening for anxiety and addressing it can prevent depression, enhance social support, and improve outcomes. To develop effective nursing strategies, it is essential for nurses to assess anxiety and implement interventions that promote social support, optimism, and illness perception. These measures can improve care quality, reduce readmission rates, and enhance patients’ overall quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Childhood stunting poses serious long-term risks to cognitive development, education, and adult productivity. While research has explored stunting’s causes and effects, there is a lack of focus on maternal knowledge of nutrition-focused nurturing care for stunted children. This gap limits the ability to design effective interventions that target improved caregiving practices. Objective: This study aimed to assess maternal knowledge of nutrition-focused nurturing care and explore associated factors, including child gender, maternal age, education, income, and prior exposure to nurturing care information, among mothers of stunted children aged 6-23 months in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 73 mothers in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. Data were collected from February to March 2024 using a validated self-assessment questionnaire covering four domains: responsive caregiving, early learning opportunities, safety and security, and supportive caregiver well-being. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and one-way ANOVA, were performed. Results: Overall maternal knowledge of nurturing care was high, with a mean score of 25.15 (SD = 4.72). Factors significantly associated with higher knowledge included having male children (p = 0.017), being aged 30-34 years (p = 0.035), possessing higher education levels (p = 0.002), and prior exposure to nurturing care information (p <0.001). Family income significantly influenced knowledge in the domain of early learning opportunities (p = 0.006), though not in other areas. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge of nutrition-focused nurturing care was influenced by child gender, maternal age, education, income, and prior exposure to nurturing care information. These findings emphasize the importance of focused educational interventions in nursing practice to enhance maternal knowledge. Addressing these factors can help align nursing strategies better to support the healthy growth and development of children.
