Abstract

Background: Children born to mothers with HIV require special care from the womb to the postnatal period, and caregivers involved in their care face several challenges. Objective: This study aimed to explore caregivers’ experiences providing care for HIV-exposed children under five. Methods: This study employed a phenomenological approach. Ten caregivers of HIV-exposed children living in Jakarta, Indonesia, were selected using snowball techniques. Online in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data from September 2021 to July 2022, and thematic analysis using Colaizzi’s method was performed for data analysis. Results: The study involved ten caregivers (nine females and one male) aged between 23 and 42 years. Seven of them were mothers who tested HIV-positive, while one was an adoptive father, one was a mother’s sister, and one was an aunt of HIV-exposed children. The majority of them were housewives and had a low educational background. Three themes were generated: (i) disease-transmission foreboding, (ii) prejudice against mothers and children exposed to HIV, and (iii) seeking support. Conclusion: Caring for HIV-exposed children poses emotional and physical challenges for caregivers, necessitating support from health professionals and peer groups. Nurses play essential roles in improving caregiver well-being and supporting optimal growth and development in HIV-exposed children under five by designing intervention programs. Furthermore, to enhance home-based HIV care in Indonesia, the government must implement social interventions that target families with limited resources.

Abstract

Background: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) continues to pose a significant challenge for people living with HIV (PLWH). Non-adherence to ART can have far-reaching implications for patient well-being, particularly in increasing the risk of opportunistic infections when medication is not taken as prescribed. Objective: This study aimed to develop a theoretical model that explains how PLWH in Indonesia adhere to their ART regimen and the strategies they follow to maintain adherence. Methods: The study used a grounded theory approach. Data were collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews with 21 PLWH who had been taking ART for six months or more at a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Jakarta, Indonesia, between July 2019 and November 2019. Theoretical sampling was used, and the data analysis method of Corbin and Strauss was utilized, including open coding, axis coding, and selective coding. Results: Three stages were identified as a process of adherence to the ART regimen: 1) initiating ART, 2) missing the connection, and 3) taking control. Self-awareness was identified as the central core theme describing the ART adherence process. Conclusion: Having adequate self-awareness to take ART regularly is crucial to improving adherence to ART. Moreover, social support from one’s spouse and family members can help patients maintain adherence. Therefore, self-awareness and support systems should be included as components in nursing interventions when starting ART therapy. In addition, nurses can help identify potential support persons and provide information related to ART therapy.

Abstract

Background: Losing competent nurses due to turnover can have adverse effects on healthcare administration, service delivery, and organizational dynamics. Frequent staff turnover can hinder optimal nursing practices, but some nurses remain committed. Therefore, understanding factors that foster sustained engagement and retention is crucial to create a retention strategy. Objective: This study aimed to explore the current experience of Indonesian nurses who retain their jobs in the hospital setting. Methods: A phenomenological design was employed in this study, with ten nurses selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from a private hospital in Batam, Indonesia, between January and March 2022. A conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The participants had an average total work experience of 10.4 years and an average age of 35.6 years, ranging from 28 to 44 years. The majority of the participants were females, held bachelor’s degrees, and were married. Three main themes were developed in this study: solid teamwork, adequate compensation, and professional career development. Conclusion: Retaining experienced nurses in hospitals is influenced by antecedents such as teamwork, pay, and career growth. These findings offer nursing and hospital managers insights into developing policies and strategies to improve hospital nursing retention programs in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

Background: The Infection Prevention and Control Nurse (IPCN) is a professional nurse with a crucial role in promoting patient safety and service quality by preventing and controlling infections. However, little is known about their experiences regarding their roles and duties, particularly in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to explore IPCNs’ experiences in performing their roles and responsibilities, including motivations and obstacles encountered, as well as organizational support while carrying out their jobs. Methods: This research used a qualitative descriptive study design, collecting data through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with six purposively sampled participants in April 2021 at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD), Jakarta, Indonesia. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Five themes were identified: 1) roles and duties of IPCNs, 2) conducive work environment, 3) constraints in carrying out tasks, 4) management support, and 5) hopes. Conclusion: This study provides new insights into IPCN roles and duties that require collaboration and coordination with multiple professions, as well as management support to overcome obstacles that hinder fulfilling tasks and hopes of improving IPCN performance according to competency-based career paths to achieve patient safety, service quality, and job satisfaction.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, with the country experiencing one of the highest numbers of lost cases in TB management. Therefore, there is a need to identify the underlying reasons for this problem. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of TB-diagnosed patients and their families during the time of diagnosis and while undergoing the TB medication program. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach. The study was conducted in government community health centers (CHC) from May 2022 to July 2022. A total of 22 participants, consisting of 12 TB-diagnosed patients and ten family members, were included in the study. Data were collected through focus group discussions and analyzed thematically. Results: Five themes were developed: (1) Delay in tuberculosis diagnosis, (2) Delay in starting TB treatment, (3) High willingness of patients and their families to recover, (4) Understanding that TB is an infectious disease, and (5) Factors affecting patient recovery. Conclusion: The study findings might contribute to the National TB elimination program. It is recommended that all health workers practicing in the community should be involved in the TB program to improve its management. Collaboration between multiple sectors in the community can also provide an advantage in solving TB problems by increasing new case detection. Additionally, it is suggested that all nurses working with TB patients establish rapport with health cadres and patients’ families to enhance medication adherence in patients.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is an essential source of nutrition for infants and offers numerous benefits for both the mother and child. Despite the consensus on its advantages, limited research in Saudi Arabia has explored the factors influencing breastfeeding duration. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationships between breastfeeding self-efficacy, intention, social support, and breastfeeding duration. Methods: The study employed a correlational research design, and data were collected from three armed forces hospitals in Taif, Saudi Arabia, from December 2020 to February 2021. The samples comprised 356 conveniently selected breastfeeding mothers, assessed using the Breastfeeding Personal Efficacy Beliefs Inventory, Modified Infant Feeding Intention Scale, and Exclusive Breastfeeding Social Support Scale. Simple linear regressions were conducted for data analysis. Results: Breastfeeding duration was divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of mothers still breastfeeding at the time of data collection, while Group 2 comprised those who had discontinued breastfeeding. Of the total samples, 51.6% (n = 184) of mothers were classified under Group 1, while the remaining 48.4% (n = 172) were allocated to Group 2. Specifically, 78.3% of mothers had stopped breastfeeding by the time their infants were six months old, and 93.3% intended to introduce formula feeding at three months. In Group 1, the results revealed that self-efficacy (β = 0.625, p <0.001), intention (β = 0.643, p <0.001), and social support (β = 0.612, p <0.001) were positively associated with breastfeeding duration. Similarly, in Group 2, a strong positive correlation was observed between self-efficacy (β = 0.72, p <0.001), intention (β = 0.73, p <0.001), social support (β = 0.699, p <0.001), and breastfeeding duration. These three factors jointly explained 40% of the variance in breastfeeding duration in Group 1 (adjusted R² = 0.4) and 50% in Group 2 (adjusted R² = 0.5). Conclusion: Breastfeeding intention was found to have a more significant impact on breastfeeding duration than self-efficacy and social support. These results can inform nurses and midwives in supporting breastfeeding mothers by providing them with the necessary information and increasing their awareness of breastfeeding-related factors.

Abstract

Background: The care and treatment management of people with mental health problems has become a prominent global concern in recent years that requires consistent attention. However, the literature suggests that only a small percentage of individuals with mental health problems in Indonesia receive the necessary mental health care. Therefore, it is crucial to explore this gap. Objective: This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators that affect access to mental health services among people with mental health disorders in Indonesia. Methods: The study employed a qualitative descriptive design and focused on individuals with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted via WhatsApp chat with 90 participants aged 18-32, who were purposively selected from Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Papua Islands in Indonesia between January and June 2022. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The barriers to accessing mental health services included: 1) uneasy access to mental healthcare facilities, 2) stigma, lack of social support, and delay in receiving proper treatment, and 3) expensive treatment costs without national health insurance membership. Importantly, the facilitators to access mental health services included: 1) national health insurance membership, 2) support from spouse, family, and closest friends and its association with mental health literacy, and 3) self-help. Conclusion: The widespread distribution of mental health knowledge is recommended among healthcare providers, including public health practitioners and primary care nurses, to enhance their mental health literacy and competencies while rendering services to individuals with mental disorders. Additionally, efforts should be made to educate and promote awareness among caregivers and communities to reduce the stigma faced by those with mental disorders.
