Abstract

Background: Healthcare services in Islamic hospitals are becoming increasingly important due to the growing global Muslim population and the demand for spiritually sensitive healthcare. Understanding the factors contributing to patient satisfaction in this context is paramount. Objective: This research aimed to investigate the relationships between nurses’ work factors, Sharia-based nursing care, and patient satisfaction in an Islamic hospital in Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 260 respondents, comprising 130 patients and 130 nurses in inpatient rooms. Data collection took place in August 2022 at an Islamic Hospital in Indonesia using validated questionnaires. SmartPLS 3.2.8 was used to generate Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess and analyze relationships between research variables. Results: Nurses’ work factors had a significant impact on Sharia-based nursing care (β = 0.813, t = 18.582, p <0.001). Furthermore, Sharia-based nursing care had a significant influence on patient satisfaction (β = 0.509, t = 3.941, p <0.001), while nurses’ work factors had a moderately significant effect on patient satisfaction (β = 0.396, t = 3.079, p = 0.002). The interaction between work factors and Sharia-based nursing care had an influence on patient satisfaction (β = 0.366, t = 3.666, p <0.001), explaining 74.4% of the variance observed in patient satisfaction. Conclusion: This study offers valuable insights into the significance of improving nurses’ work factors, including elements such as performance, feedback, correction, and job design, along with the integration of Sharia-based principles in nursing care. The study suggests that nursing administrators, healthcare policymakers, and academic institutions should prioritize the creation of supportive work environments and culturally sensitive care practices for nurses to enhance patient satisfaction.

Abstract

Background: Enteral nutrition is a common yet vital practice in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). However, the status of substandard feeding of enteral nutrition in PICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation remains unclear and can be detrimental to the children’s prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, nursing care status, and influencing factors of substandard feeding in children undergoing mechanical ventilation in the PICU. Methods: This study employed a retrospective cohort design. Children undergoing mechanical ventilation and enteral nutrition in the PICU of a public hospital in China from 1 June 2021 to 31 December 2022 were selected using convenience sampling, and their characteristics were collected and evaluated. Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to assess the influencing factors of substandard feeding in PICU children with mechanical ventilation. Results: A total of 156 PICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation were included for analysis in this study. The rate of substandard feeding in PICU children was 65.38%. Statistically significant differences were observed in diarrhea, vomiting, the use of sedatives, and average infusion speed between the substandard feeding group and the standard group (p <0.05). Pearson correlation results indicated that diarrhea (r = 0.595), vomiting (r = 0.602), and average infusion speed (r = 0.562) were correlated with substandard feeding and characteristics of included ICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation (p <0.05). Logistic regression results found that diarrhea (OR = 2.183, 95%CI: 1.855~2.742), vomiting (OR = 3.021, 95%CI: 2.256~4.294), and average infusion speed ≤40 mL/h (OR = 2.605, 95%CI: 1.921~3.357) were independent risk factors for substandard feeding in mechanically ventilated children in the ICU (p <0.05). Conclusion: The rate of substandard feeding in children with mechanical ventilation in the PICU was high. Diarrhea, vomiting, and slow infusion speed are important influencing factors for substandard feeding. It is suggested that nurses and other healthcare professionals take targeted measures, including the prevention and care of diarrhea and vomiting, as well as monitoring and adjusting the infusion speed of enteral nutrition, to reduce the occurrence of substandard feeding.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents face increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS due to factors such as insufficient knowledge and awareness, stigma, and restricted access to information. The Indonesian government initiated a peer education program through the Planning Generation Program (GenRe) ambassadors. These ambassadors are tasked with educating their peers about HIV/AIDS. However, their experiences are largely underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to explore the GenRe ambassadors’ experience in improving adolescents’ HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. Methods: This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, with in-depth and semi-structured interviews of GenRe ambassadors who had served for at least three to six months within the South Jakarta Health Sub-Department, Indonesia. Purposive sampling and data saturation techniques were utilized. Data were collected from 13 May to 31 August 2022, and Colaizzi’s steps were used to guide the data analysis. Results: Nineteen GenRe ambassadors participated, predominantly female university students ages 18–22. Six themes were developed: 1) the impact of GenRe ambassadors’ roles in improving HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 2) activities to improve HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 3) enhancement of self-concept as GenRe ambassadors, 4) obstacles to activities for improving HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, 5) support for activities to improve HIV/AIDS prevention behavior, and 6) hope for improving the GenRe ambassador program’s implementation. Conclusion: GenRe ambassadors are influencers who play a critical role in promoting HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors and fostering positive change in the broader youth community. Despite their positive self-concept, they encounter challenges in fulfilling their roles. Utilizing their insights, community health nurses can create effective peer-led HIV/AIDS prevention programs and contribute to a model of health promotion for adolescents. Leveraging the role of GenRe ambassadors as peer educators is recommended to enhance HIV/AIDS prevention efforts among adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Recently, there has been an increasing concern regarding matters concerning the LGBT community that should not be overlooked. Even though the Philippines is among the Asian nations with strong public tolerance towards homosexuals, numerous individuals still encounter discrimination. And while studies have been conducted elsewhere, the literature is limited among Filipino nursing students. Objective: This research assessed the knowledge and attitude towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) healthcare concerns among nursing students in the Philippines. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted among nursing students (N = 354) in a public university in the Philippines. The Nursing Students’ Knowledge and Attitudes of LGBT Health Concerns was used to gather survey data online in April 2022, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26 software. Results: While a large majority of nursing students had positive attitudes, many had only low to moderate knowledge about LGBT healthcare concerns, although no significant correlation (p = 0.081) was found between knowledge and attitude. There were significant differences in knowledge based on gender (p = 0.049), religious affiliation (p = 0.023), and academic year level (p <0.001). A significant difference was also identified in attitude based on sexual orientation (p <0.001). Conclusion: Certain measures should be taken to address the gaps in the curricular content of undergraduate nursing programs directed at the LGBT topic to deliver culturally competent care grounded in evidence-based practices for LGBT individuals.

Abstract

Background: Over the years, a few tools and instruments have been developed to assist in the assessment within a palliative care setting. However, many of these tools and instruments do not reflect a person-centered palliative care model. Objective: This study aims to develop a Person-centered Palliative Care Nursing Instrument (PPCNI) in the Philippines. Methods: An exhaustive search of the literature was conducted to develop a pool of items for the instrument. The validity of the instrument was evaluated using the content validity index (CVI), while the factor structure was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using maximum likelihood estimation with Promax rotation. Also, the internal reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: EFA yielded three factors: 1) Caring as maintaining person’s dignity (13 items), 2) caring as empowerment of person’s autonomy (14 items), and 3) caring as understanding person’s momentary concerns (10 items). Whereas the internal consistency reliability of these subscales appeared excellent (i.e., 0.95, 0.96, and 0.93, respectively), the Cronbach’s alpha for the overall scale was 0.98. The item-total correlation coefficients were >0.30 for all items, ranging from 0.310 to 0.726. Conclusion: Findings support a three-factor, 37-item PPCNI that can be used in clinical practice to ensure that nurses provide palliative care based on patient needs and preferences.

Abstract

Background: Intern nursing students not only belong to the high-risk group for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its associated complications but also represent the future healthcare workforce. Therefore, they constitute a significant group that should comprehensively understand HPV and its vaccine. Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of educational interventions on intern nursing students’ knowledge and considerations related to HPV and its vaccine. Methods: A repeated measures design with pretest/posttest measures was employed. The study involved 88 students at a university in Turkey and was conducted between November 2021 and February 2022. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the HPV Information Scale. All participants received theoretical and student-centered interactive education, and data were analyzed using numerical data, percentage distributions, Bonferroni correction, and one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The total score of the scale and the scores of all four sub-dimensions obtained in the first and third months after the education were significantly higher than those obtained before the education (p <0.001). Additionally, the proportion of students considering getting an HPV vaccine increased following the education (p <0.001). Conclusions: The education on HPV and its vaccine potentially improved students’ knowledge levels and increased consideration for vaccination. Implementing interventions that equip nursing students with sufficient knowledge about HPV and its vaccine can contribute to reducing HPV-related cancer rates. Therefore, it is recommended to implement educational programs focused on the prevention of HPV-related cancers.

Abstract

Background: Self-care behavior is crucial in preventing chronic diseases, such as hypertension, which has become highly prevalent in Indonesia. Hypertension, often referred to as the “silent killer” due to its asymptomatic nature, can easily go unnoticed. Neglecting its treatment can lead to severe complications, including heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. Despite adults with hypertension feeling well, embracing self-care behavior, including making healthy lifestyle choices, disease management, and enhancing life quality, remains essential. Objective: This study aimed to describe the self-care behavior of adult patients with hypertension in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 270 participants selected through consecutive sampling. Data were collected between 15 March and 4 April 2023, using the Hypertension Blood Pressure Self Care Profile (HBP-SCP) questionnaire in six public healthcare centers in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: The self-care behavior among adult patients with hypertension was at a moderate level (Mean = 49.78, SD = 6.64), and it had significant differences according to ethnicity (p = 0.041), marital status (p = 0.017), and body mass index (p = 0.008). Conclusion: The findings highlight the influence of diverse ethnic backgrounds, various marital statuses, and differing body mass index levels, which may lead to distinct approaches to managing hypertension. These results offer valuable insights for nurses and other healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive strategies to enhance self-care among adult patients with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Nurses routinely encounter ethical dilemmas with patients and healthcare professionals. Therefore, it is crucial for them to be conscious of ethical principles and apply them in their decision-making processes. However, no specific questionnaire is available to assess nurses’ ethical conduct in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Nurses’ Ethical Behavior in Protecting Patients’ Rights (I-NEBPPR) scale. Methods: Following the World Health Organization’s guidelines and utilizing the WHODAS 2.0 translation package, the NEBPPR was translated into Bahasa Indonesia and underwent a rigorous translation and adaptation process. Data were collected between October and November 2022 and included 283 Indonesian nurses as participants. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate construct validity. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability were also performed for comprehensive evaluation. IBM SPSS statistics version 27.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used for statistical analysis. Results: Five items were excluded from the original versions, forming five subscales that include a combined total of 23 items. The subscales are as follows: Factor 1 (Respect for right to information and decision), Factor 2 (Providing fair care), Factor 3 (Providing benefit-not harming), Factor 4 (Respect for patient values and choices), and Factor 5 (Attention to privacy). The I-NEBPPR model demonstrated robust construct validity with factor loadings ranging from 0.453 to 0.871. CFA showed satisfactory model fit indices (χ2/df = 1.554 (p <0.001), GFI = 0.906, CFI = 0.929, IFI = 0.930, RMSEA = 0.044). Reliability metrics were solid, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.819 and composite reliability exceeding 0.6. Both convergent validity, as indicated by AVE, and discriminant validity, as confirmed by the Fornell-Larcker criterion, met established thresholds. Conclusion: It is affirmed that the 23-item I-NEBPPR demonstrated strong psychometric properties, making it a valuable, practical, and time-efficient tool for nurse supervisors, nurse managers, and nurse leaders to assess nurses’ clinically-based ethical behavior in their efforts to protect patient’s rights.

Abstract

Background: Due to the cervical cancer screening campaign, there is a gradual increase in the number of women diagnosed with abnormal cervical cytology results. Most women experience high anxiety upon learning about these results, leading to adverse psychological effects. Therefore, nurses play a vital role in counseling these women to alleviate their concerns. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of colposcopy counseling with a feminist model on anxiety in Thai women with abnormal cervical cytology results. Methods: The study employed a time-series quasi-experimental design with a comparison group. It was conducted at the colposcopy clinic of a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, from August 2022 to April 2023. A total of 68 women with abnormal cervical cytology results were purposively recruited based on inclusion criteria. The comparison group (n = 34) received only usual care, while the experimental group (n = 34) received colposcopy counseling and usual care. Colposcopy counseling was provided after collecting baseline data. Anxiety was assessed at baseline, immediate post-test, and 12th week post-test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, independent t-test, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: There was no statistically significant difference in anxiety across the three-time points between the two groups (F1, 66 = 0.062, p = 0.804). However, anxiety in the experimental group significantly decreased over time (p <0.05). In contrast, anxiety in the comparison group at baseline was not significantly different from that at the immediate post-test (p = 0.480). Conclusion: Colposcopy counseling was effective in reducing anxiety in Thai women with abnormal cervical cytology results, especially during the initial period after receiving the results. Nonetheless, anxiety could gradually decrease regardless of the intervention. Therefore, colposcopy counseling by nurses and healthcare providers is helpful for women in relieving anxiety during their first colposcopy attendance.

Abstract

Background: The internship year marks the culmination of the nursing program across all Saudi universities, bridging theoretical learning and practical application. The significance of the internship year lies in the application of skills acquired during the preceding years of study. Understanding interns’ experiences, identifying influences, and sharing their recommendations for best practices become crucial. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of internship students and address the challenges they encountered in a clinical environment. Methods: A qualitative naturistic descriptive approach was employed, involving 20 purposively selected participants from internship students in two regions in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected in January 2023 through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observation. A conventional content analysis approach was used for data analysis. Results: Four major themes were generated: 1) Transferring Shock, 2) Self-Learning, 3) Supportive Environments, and 4) Factors Facilitating Learning. Transferring Shock comprised two subthemes: feeling lost and feeling left out. Conclusion: Internship students acknowledged the utility of orientation and mentorship programs in advancing the practical skills of new nurses and enhancing patient safety. The findings also indicated that those with prior preparation and robust communication skills reported a positive experience. Consequently, integrating communication courses into the nursing education curriculum could be beneficial. Establishing a supportive learning environment for nursing interns is imperative to address challenges and ensure the delivery of safe and effective patient care.
