Abstract

Background: Self-efficacy has been described as dominant factor associated with physical exercise in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but to improve self-efficacy to regulate exercise of adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a challenge for health workers. Objective: This study was to determine the effect of exercise consultation program on self-efficacy to regulate exercise in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with two comparison groups was purposively designed for pre-test and post-test procedures. Sixty-one patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus were allocated into the experimental group (31 patients) and the control group (29 patients). While the experimental group received the exercise consultation for 12 weeks and routine care, the control group received routine care only. Comparative assessments on differences in self-efficacy to regulate exercise were examined both within and between groups using paired or unpaired t-test. Results: After receiving exercise consultation program, self-efficacy to regulate exercise significantly increased within the experimental group (p < .05), but there was no significant change with in the control group. Between groups, there was a significant difference self-efficacy to regulate exercise in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p < .05). Conclusion: The exercise consultation program could increase self-efficacy to promote the physical exercise among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Repositioning the patients every 2 hours were often not implemented during patient care. One of the causes perceived by nurses as contraindications to repositioning in critical patients is the use of vasoactive agents. This condition increases the risk of decubitus, decreased orthostatic stability and muscle atrophy. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of body reposition on hemodynamic patients receiving vasopressor therapy in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: The research method used Quasi Experiment with non-equivalent control group design. The subjects were ICU patients who received vasopressor therapy. The respondents recruited using consecutive sampling technique for a-four-month period and obtained 34 respondents, which was divided into control and intervention group. Data analysis used paired t-test to analyze the difference in the same group and unpaired t-test to test the difference between two groups. Results: Pre-post hemodynamic differences in the intervention group when patients were repositioned from supine to the right lateral and right lateral to left lateral showed p> 0.05. The hemodynamic difference between the control and the intervention group also had p> 0.05. The results showed there were no significant difference. Conclusions: In general, there is no effect of body repositioning on hemodynamic status. Critical nurses can perform body repositioning activities every two hours including in patients with vasopressor therapy to prevent complications of immobilization, still considering contraindication condition.

Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) / Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has become a global problem nowadays. To reduce its spread, Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) and Provider-Initiated Testing and Counseling (PITC) have been provided. However, these interventions remain ineffective to discover new cases, as the stigma among health officers may exist.

The questionnaire from Health Policy Project in Thailand was used to measure the HIV/AIDS related-stigma. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney test. Results: Findings showed that there was a statistically significant difference in stigma between the group of VCT and PITC on people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), which the mean of stigma in the PITC group (73.07) was higher than the mean value in the VCT group (66.61).
