Abstract

Background: As future professionals, nursing students are expected to exhibit online professionalism and to be responsible users of social media. However, the rapid sharing of information on social media exposes nursing students to the risk and danger of spreading unprofessional behaviors like breaches of privacy and confidentiality. Objective: This study looked into the nursing students’ perceptions and attitude toward responsible use of social media. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized and participated by 298 nursing students in a College of Nursing in Iloilo City, Philippines. The Responsible Use of Social Media Attitude Scale (RUSMAS) created by the researchers was used to collect the data. Results: Findings indicated that nursing students widely use social media and that nursing students had good perceptions and had positive attitude toward responsible use of social media. A significant difference was found in the attitude of nursing students when grouped according to year level. Conclusion: Social media continue to gain interest among nursing students and using it responsibly must be continuously upheld. Academic nursing institutions should develop approaches promoting social media literacy in nursing education.

Abstract

Background: Peripheral artery disease is a type of cardiovascular disease which belongs to vascular system disease and ranked the second most common non transmissible disease that cause death in the Philippines. The ankle brachial index (ABI) constitutes simple, non-invasive, cost-effective method for the early detection of peripheral artery disease (PAD) which complements assessment of cardiovascular risk. Objective: The study aims to determine who are at risk of peripheral artery disease among the Geriatrics and Policemen in Iligan City. Methods: It utilized descriptive-correlational-comparative research design and purposive sampling method. The data were gathered among 40 respondents: 20 Geriatrics and 20 policemen from Camp Tomas Cabili in Iligan City with the use of modified standardize questionnaire from Southern California Health Specialist Peripheral Artery Disease Patient Questionnaire. Results: Results showed majority (50%) of respondents were 50 years old and above; most (65%) were male. Pearson Correlational Coefficient shows that, among the demographic profile of the respondents, only age and lifestyle (diet and exercise) had a significant relationship with their degree of suspicion of having PAD. On the other hand, there was no significant relationship between gender, history of heredo-familial diseases, smoking, alcohol drinking habits, and the respondent’s degree of suspicion of having PAD. The result contradicts the nursing maxim that smoking is the most important risk factor for PAD; as in this case, even if most of the respondents were non-smokers and non-alcoholics, their poor diet and exercise alone increased their risk or degree of suspicion of having PAD. Conclusion: While age is beyond the control of the respondents, there is much that they could do to improve their lifestyle (diet and exercise) to lessen their risks for PAD. An institutional cafeteria serving nutritious food and exercise gyms could greatly benefit both the geriatrics and the policemen.

Abstract

Grounded theory has been utilized in nursing research in order to develop theory from data. Since there are three approaches in the grounded theory methodology that consist of Classic grounded theory, Straussian grounded theory, and Constructivist grounded theory, thus understanding about perspective of each approach is needed. Those approaches have different points of views regarding the philosophical position, role of literature review, and coding process in data analysis. This review provides an understanding about the grounded theory approaches for researchers particularly the novice researchers, and selects an appropriate approach in their study.

Abstract

Background: Literature revealed that men tends to use healthcare services much lesser and visit much later, resulting in poor health outcomes. This is often regarded as a way of exhibiting masculinity. In Brunei, there is an increasing number of mortality resulting from the complication of diabetes mellitus, a non-communicable disease, which arguably can be prevented. Objectives: To explore their health-help seeking behavior and health maintenance pattern of male diabetic patients in Brunei. Methods: Qualitative research guided by phenomenology research design. COREQ Checklist was used to prepare the report of this study. Individual semi-structured interview on eleven men were conducted from February to November 2018. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed thematically. Results: Three themes were developed: “Maintaining health to enable the performance of masculine roles”, “Men delay seeking healthcare services”, and “Maintaining control and self reliance in looking after own sick body”. Conclusion: Health is perceived as important - it enables men to perform their ‘masculine responsibilities’. When men are in ill-health and realized how this could jeopardize their masculine roles, they would actively involve in taking care of their own body. This suggested how masculinity is in fact context –dependent. Level of knowledge and experiences with healthcare services and treatments also influenced men decision in health-help. Despite evidence that suggests how men often decline involvement with health promoting activities and delay seeking health from healthcare professionals, it was found that being able to continue supporting their family act as a legitimate reason for them to access healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: Evaluation of nursing outcome based Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) is very important. However, there is dearth of information regarding its validation in Indonesian language. Objective: To validate four nursing outcomes’ indicators of the Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) for stroke patients with self-care deficit problems. Methods: This was a descriptive quantitative study with cross sectional design. Outcomes indicators of self-care: bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting were developed for measuring its relevance, clarity, simplicity and ambiguity. Content validity index was used for analysis, which involved three nursing experts. Results: Out of the 59 outcome indicators, 49 (83.05%) were considered as passing indicators and 10 (16.95%) were eliminated. Conclusion: The passing indicators can be applied in caring for stroke patients. The NOC indicators can be implemented in clinical setting, particularly for stroke patient with self -are deficit problems.

Abstract

Background: Nurses have a key role in promoting patients’ involvement in decision-making process of palliative care to improve their dignity and satisfaction. However, there is a dearth of studies exploring this involvement, especially in public health centers in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perception of nurses in decision-making process and to understand what type of decision-making made by health care providers in palliative care. Methods: This was a descriptive explorative study with qualitative approach. Participants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interview. Content analysis method by inductive approach was used for data analysis. Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) was also used. Results: Eight themes emerged in this study, namely: (1) Collecting information about patients’ current physiological condition, (2) Creating alternative strategies according to the patients’ current physiological condition, (3) Establishing implementation type to be performed, (4) Providing information to the patients, (5) Discussing decision-making between patients and family, (6) Choosing/rejecting an action by patients, (7) Performing selected actions, and (8) Evaluating action. Three points that are different from the existing theory were: (i) there was a discussion between patients and family, (ii) the absence of the process of collecting information after a patient rejects to act, and (iii) there were three types of decision-making: paternalistic, shared, and informed decision-making. Conclusion: This study serves as an input for nurses to pay more attention in decision-making process in palliative care in patients with cancer, and to encourage patients to give contribution in decision-making as part of shared decision-making.

Abstract

Background: A surgical procedure using general anaesthesia in laparotomy surgery results in reduced bowel sound. A large number of patients who experience a delay in returning bowel sound after laparotomy surgery become the reason to give proper intervention in order to increase bowel sound return time. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be used is chewing gum. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the difference of bowel sound return time between groups of intervention and control after being given chewing gum intervention among post-laparotomy surgery patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used post-test only control group design. Thirty respondents were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation by calculating the bowel sound return time among post laparotomy surgery patients in the intervention group (n=15) and control group (n=15), and were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. The intervention group was asked to chew the gum once for 30 minutes, and bowel sound was measured every 30 minutes for 120 minutes. Results: The results showed that bowel sound return time in the intervention group was 90 minutes and the control group was 150 minutes, and p-value was 0.005. Conclusion: There was a difference in the return time of bowel sound between the intervention and control groups. Therefore, the intervention of chewing gum could become one of the non- pharmacological interventions that can be considered in increasing the bowel sound return time among post-laparotomy surgery patients.

Abstract

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the leading causes of death from infectious diseases. Because of sharing same transmission routes, the co-infection of HIV with HBV or HCV is common. And the co-infections make HIV infected persons have higher morbidity and mortality than those who infected only with HIV. This study aims to investigate factors that may have influence on the co-infections of HBV or HCV among HIV positive individuals. Objective: The goals of this study were to identify factors associated with the co-infection of HBV or HCV among people living with HIV. Methods: Quantitative research method was applied in this study to examine factors associated with HBV or HCV co-infection among HIV infected people. A total of 250 HIV infected individuals in Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam were the sample of this study. It employed the Social Ecological Model (SEM) as a theoretical perspective that focused on multiple levels of factors. Descriptive statistic was used to describe the general characteristics of the respondents. And Binary logistic regression was carried out to measure the influence of factors on the co-infection. Results: The multivariate analysis of this study showed that HIV-HBV co-infection was associated significantly with residents of Nha Trang (OR= 7.179). Regarding HIV-HCV co-infection, being men (OR= 7.617), unemployed (OR= 4.013), a resident of Nha Trang (OR=10.894) and an injecting drug user (OR= 16.688) were risk factors of the co-infection. Conclusions: This study recommended that intervention strategies to prevent HIV-positive individuals from co-infection with either HBV or HCV should focus on altering individuals’ risk behaviors and their socio-economic environments. Also, specific preventing programs should be implemented and focus on unemployed populations, injecting drug users, men in general, as well as people living in particular areas, especially cities having a large number of people living with HIV.

Abstract

Background: The existing standard of nursing language consists of NANDA-I for diagnostic language standard, Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) for nursing intervention, and Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) for nursing outcomes. One way to improve the quality of nursing care documentation is to provide training in the documentation system. Objectives: To determine the effect of providing NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC (NNN) nursing care documentation systems training on the quality of nursing documentation. Methods: This was a pre-experimental study with pretest posttest design without a control group. Twenty-one nurses and eighty-six Medical Records (MR) of patients who were treated in the perinatal ward of Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital were used as samples selected using purposive sampling. Those nurses were trained in the nursing care documentation system. The quality of nursing care documentation was measured using modified Quality of Diagnoses, Interventions and Outcomes (Q-DIO) instrument. Data were analyzed using Independent samples t-test with a confidence level of 95%. Results: The average of the scores of the quality of nursing documentation before training was lower (1.91) than the average after training (2.78). There was a significant difference in the quality of nursing documentation before and after training (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Training of NNN nursing documentation system could improve the quality of nursing documentation in the perinatal ward of Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital.
