Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges to nursing practice globally. However, utilizing digital notebook applications to support nursing student practices may be an effective tool for surgical nursing practicum. Objective: This study aimed to design a blended learning curriculum for surgical nursing practicum, utilizing a digital notebook platform. Methods: This study applied the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model to create a blended learning curriculum for surgical nursing practicum, employing the OneNote application platform. The study included three experts and 90 third-year nursing students who evaluated the model. The study was conducted from July 2021 to March 2022 at the Faculty of Nursing, Chiang Mai University, Thailand. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The experts rated the model highly (Mean = 4.33, SD = 0.57). The satisfaction level of the students with the blended learning curriculum using a digital notebook application was also high (Mean = 4.88, SD = 0.31). Conclusion: The blended learning curriculum using a digital notebook application for surgical nursing practicum was satisfactory for learners. The results from this research can be applied in online learning or incorporated into nursing clinical practicum curricula during and even post-pandemic. The study results may also serve as an example or a piece of basic information to further develop an advanced online platform for teaching learning, either in Thailand or globally.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization estimates that between 80,000 and 180,000 medical personnel perished as a result of COVID-19. Although studies about nurses’ organizational commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic have been conducted, the sources of motivations and resilience strategies of nurses in providing a quality healthcare service amidst the COVID-19 pandemic have yet to be explored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate how motivation and resilience influence nurses to serve and cater to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.     Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed approach was used in this study between July and August 2022. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivations scale (WEIMS), and Garbee and Killacky’s Intent to Stay Scale (GKISS) were used to measure resilience, motivation, and intention to stay, among 50 nurses within Metro Manila. Quantitative data were analyzed using quantile regression, while qualitative data from eight participants were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The majority of the nurses were working 12 hours and above (52%) and earning a bi-weekly income of PHP 15,001 to 20,000 (96%). The GKISS scores of most respondents indicated their likelihood of remaining in their current profession was moderately low (Mdn = 12.5; IQR = 12-14). It was also found that there was no sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that intention to stay was associated with resilience (p = 0.914) and work motivation (p = 0.560). The qualitative strand of this study explored the significant influences of motivation, resilience strategies, and sources of intention to stay among Filipino nurses while facing the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary motivations of nurses lie in family, passion for work, and career development, while the resilience strategies include adaptiveness, time management skills, and self-fulfillments. On the other hand, the intent to stay greatly lies in serving the people and the country. Conclusion: This study concludes that positive and negative resilience and motivations from different facets of the social life of Filipino nurses, including passion, familial ties, patient care, and faith are the antecedents influencing the intention to serve in the healthcare service. In terms of staying for an extended period in a nursing career, the study found that institutionalized interventions, adequate compensation and benefits, and a good workplace are determinants of staying longer in the Philippines as Filipino nurses.

Abstract

Background: The negative health results associated with the family caregivers of older people can be alleviated with social support, which is considered a valuable resource. Hence, the factors contributing to social support need to be understood.  Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the social support associated with the family caregivers of older people. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 231 family caregivers of older people conveniently selected from two districts in Kelantan, a state in the North-East Region of Peninsular Malaysia. Data were gathered between June to December 2021 using a Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data in frequencies and percentages. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to examine correlations among variables. Results: The mean scores of social support for family caregivers were significantly higher among their family (Mean ± SD; 5.44 ± 0.969) and other important people (5.25 ± 1.123) compared to their friends (4.84 ± 1.094). Caregivers’ gender and duration of caregiving were significant factors associated with social support (p <0.05). Conclusions: The family caregivers received maximum support from their family and other important people, but they were less supported by their friends. This study also observed that the perceived social support of the caregivers of older people was affected by several factors, such as gender and duration of caregiving. This finding gives nurses and other healthcare workers the basic information they need to enhance nursing interventions and promote social support among those who care for older people, which can positively impact caregiving.

Abstract

Background: Helping first-time mothers who have just undergone cesarean section and transitioning from hospital to home with their infant is a complex process. Therefore, understanding what contributes to discharge readiness is necessary. Objective: This study aimed to determine discharge readiness level and its associated factors among first-time mothers who have undergone cesarean section. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 233 first-time mothers who had undergone cesarean sections selected using quota sampling from the two largest referral centers in China. Data were collected from March to June 2021 using a demographic characteristics form, Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-New Mother Form (RHDS-NMF), and Quality Discharge Teaching Scale-New Mother Form (QDTS-NMF). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The discharge readiness of the respondents was at a moderate level. Age (r = -0.129, p = 0.049) and complications after cesarean section (r = -0.136, p = 0.038) had a negative correlation with discharge readiness. In contrast, the subscales of QDTS-NMF, particularly the content (r = 0.519, p = 0.000) and delivery (r = 0.643, p = 0.000), had a positive correlation with discharge readiness. Conclusion: The findings enable nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals to understand discharge readiness and its related factors among first-time mothers undergoing cesarean section. It is also suggested that the quality of discharge teaching with a comprehensive assessment of first-time mothers preparing for discharge from the hospital and following the guideline to prevent post-cesarean section complications should be reinforced.

Abstract

Background: Family-centered care has evolved into patient and family-centered care. Although this is not a new concept; however, its application to nursing practice is very challenging among nurses due to its ambiguity. Objective: This study aimed to clarify the concept of patient and family-centered care for children. Methods: Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method was used. A literature search was also done using the following databases: Google Scholar, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, for articles published from 2011 to 2021.  Results: The defining attributes of patient and family-centered care are partnership, communication, respect, and compassion. Antecedents include patient and family involvement, readiness to collaborate and participate, competency and desire of the care professional team, supportive environment, and policies. Consequences of the patient and family-centered care include improved child outcomes and quality of life, promotion of patient safety, increased patient and family satisfaction, enhancement of humanistic values, reduction of hospitalization cost and length of stay, and decreased stress, anxiety, and depression in family members. Conclusion: Four attributes of patient and family-centered care, its antecedents, and consequences may aid researchers in better understanding the concept and its application in nursing practice. This concept can also be used to establish quality care delivery strategies and promote professional relationships between nurses, patients, and families in clinical settings.

Abstract

The “pressure” or “passion” to publish is a common reality in academia. All faculty are required to demonstrate that they are engaged in research and that their work is disseminated in reputable journals. However, writing manuscripts is quite challenging; some papers for publication may take days, weeks, months, and even years. This editorial aims to provide the editors’ points of view to assist authors in successful acceptance and publication in an international nursing journal.

Abstract

Background: Illness uncertainty in parents of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to parents’ inability to create meaning in events related to their children having CAH. This may influence their role in caring for children with CAH. Objective: The study aimed to determine factors associated with illness uncertainty experienced by parents of children with CAH in a developing country. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 parents (43 mothers and 37 fathers) of children with CAH, selected using consecutive sampling methods. The Parent’s Perception of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) was used to measure the illness uncertainty levels. Data were collected from March 2020 to October 2020. Independent t-test and chi-square test were used to determine factors (parent’s gender, age, educational level, monthly household income, number of children with CAH, history of child death due to CAH, child’s age when first diagnosed with CAH, duration of therapy, gender change, type of CAH (salt wasting/SW or simple virilizing/SV), current gender, and genitoplasty) influencing illness uncertainty in parents. Results: The mean scores of PPUS were 42.3 ± 12.91, and the majority of parents had a low PPUS score (49; 61%). Parents of children with SW-CAH showed higher uncertainty (44.2 ± 12.77) than those with SV-CAH (32.6 ± 8.86; p = 0.003). Parents who lost their children due to CAH were more likely to report a moderate illness uncertainty than parents who never experienced child mortality due to CAH (χ2(1, 80) = 4.893; p = 0.027). Conclusion: The factors significantly affecting uncertainty in parents of children with CAH determined in this study might help healthcare professionals, including nurses, to play a pivotal role in giving pertinent information regarding their children’s health, disease, and therapy to help manage parental uncertainty.

Abstract

Background: The global incidence of maternal mortality remains high, including in Indonesia, and the utilization of antenatal care services can help reduce these rates. Despite numerous studies examining factors affecting antenatal care utilization, there has been limited focus on identifying factors related to the completion of these services. Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the completion of antenatal care in Indonesia. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional analysis of secondary data from the Basic Health Research conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in March 2018. The sample consisted of 65,929 pregnant women aged 15 to 49. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multiple logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: The majority of respondents (75.2%) completed antenatal care. Factors significantly correlated with antenatal care completion were education level, occupation status, health insurance ownership, place of antenatal care services, travel time to health facilities, area of residence, history of pregnancy, parity, desired pregnancy, and pregnancy complications (p <0.05). The multiple logistic regression test showed that education level was the most dominant factor associated with antenatal care completion (p <0.001, OR = 2.023, 95% CI = 1.839-2.225). Conclusion: Completion of antenatal care is influenced by various factors, including education, job status, health insurance ownership, antenatal care services’ location, travel time to health facilities, residence area, previous pregnancy history, number of children, desired pregnancy, and pregnancy complications. However, education is crucial in determining a mother’s understanding and approach toward using these services. The Indonesian government should enhance public education and awareness initiatives to increase utilization. Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and midwives, play a vital role in educating pregnant women about the significance of utilizing prenatal care services consistently and facilitating their access to these services efficiently.

Abstract

Background: The Clinical Learning Environment (CLE) is integral to pre-registration nursing curricula. Assessing the student’s perceptions of their CLE is essential to adjust clinical placement to trainees’ needs. Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI) appears to be widely used in measuring CLE, but no previous study has reported a full structural validity and its association with students’ satisfaction in the Moroccan context. Objectives: This study investigated the psychometric properties of the CLEI and its subscales association with Moroccan nursing students’ satisfaction. Methods: The research design was descriptive, cross-sectional, and conducted from March and June 2022 using convenience sampling in three nursing institutes of the Fez-Meknes region of Morocco. The selected sample involved Moroccan nursing students undertaking clinical practice. First, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to determine the factor structure of the pilot sample (N = 143). The second sample (N = 206) was then used to confirm this structure using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) confirmatory composite analysis (CCA). Finally, using a bootstrapping method, the significance of the structural path was evaluated. Results: The CLEI scale depicted convergent validity (AVE = 0.56 - 0.71), discriminant validity, estimated by the square roots of AVE and bootstrapped HTMT confidence interval, and significant reliability (rhoC = 0.83 - 0.92). Using a bootstrapping approach, structural path significance displayed a substantial association between task orientation and students’ satisfaction (β = 0.29, p <0.001). This ascertains that nurse students need well-planned guidelines from their facilitators in clinical wards. Conclusions: The CLEI instrument revealed adequate psychometric properties and supported its original structure. As a result, the instrument might be used to measure students’ perceptions of their CLE. Task orientation appeared to be the most important factor influencing the students’ satisfaction in CLE.

Abstract

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common form of poor carbohydrate intolerance, prevalent among pregnant women and associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Given the dearth of information on self-empowerment among mothers with GDM, a self-care health education package needs to be developed to prevent related complications. Objective: This review aimed to identify self-care approaches, domains, and their effectiveness for a proper self-care educational guide package for women with GDM. Design: A systematic review using electronic literature databases  published between January 2016 and December 2022 was conducted. Data Sources: Web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid databases were used. Review Methods: This review utilized the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) framework to screen the retrieved articles for eligibility in which mothers with GDM, educational materials, standard practice or intervention, and effectiveness were considered the PICO, respectively. The CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model served as a framework for adopting the education development model. Mixed methods appraisal tool was used for quality assessment. Data extraction and synthesis without meta-analysis were presented as evidence tables. Results: A total of 19 articles on GDM were included in the final analysis (16 Intervention studies, two qualitative studies, and one mixed-methods study). Four broad domains emerged from the analysis: 1) information or knowledge of GDM, 2) monitoring of blood glucose levels, 3) practice of healthy lifestyles, and 4) other non-specific activities. The majority of the articles employed a face-to-face approach in executing the educational group sessions, and most studies disclosed their positive effects on GDM management. Other methods of evaluating intervention effectiveness were described as improved self-care behavior, increased satisfaction score, enhanced self-efficacy, good glucose control, and better pregnancy outcome. Conclusion: Knowledge or information about GDM, healthy diet, and exercise or physical activity was found to be the most applied domains of intervention. Framework domains based on the present review can be used in the future development of any interventional program for GDM women in enhancing health information reaching the targeted group in promoting self-efficacy.
