Abstract

Background: Currently there are increased cases of men presenting with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) especially in low resource countries. These symptoms may or may not be related to prostate cancer and health seeking behaviours are not clear.   Purpose: To establish the influence of patient related factors on health seeking behaviours for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) among men attending surgical outpatient clinic at Meru hospital, Kenya.Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. The study population involved 120 men suffering from LUTS, 2 physicians and 2 nurses. Questionnaires and interview guides were used for data collection. Study period was from August 2018 to March 2020.Results: Majority (67.0%) of the patients with LUTS were aged between 61-70 years. Also, the majority (68.8%) of the respondents had primary level of education. The findings also pointed out majority (72.0%) of the patients were farmers with income level of below Ksh. 20,000. Logistic regression was used whereby P-values determine the statistical significance of results with cut off set at (p ?0.05). The inferential statistics pointed out that patient related factors test items had a statistical significant influence since the p-values were found to be less than 0.05 at 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: There was a significant negative influence of patient related factors such as lack of knowledge, low income levels and distance to health care facilities on health seeking practices. Therefore patients seek medical attention when quality of their lives has been threatened. The study recommends adopting measures of rising awareness on need for seeking early medical attention and initiate outreach health services in underserved areas or through telehealth

Abstract

Background: The most frequent complications of diabetes mellitus are Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU), which has a risk of death 2.5 times compared to those without DFU. More than half of them have problems with infection (Diabetic Foot Infections). Research on wound washing to control diabetic wound infections originating from phytopharmaca using tropical natural resources such as red betel has not developed. They are a tropical plant that has many benefits containing flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins. Washing the wound with irrigation and swab techniques using red betel 20% effectively reduces the total number of bacteria with diabetic ulcer isolates in white mice alloxan-induced. It reduces staphylococcus growth aureus at concentrations of 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, 100%.   Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of wound irrigation red betel 20% and 40% of the bacterial rate in DFI patients.Methods: This study used a quasi-experiment with pre-post test control group design two treatment groups where bacterial samples were taken before and after irrigation using 20% and 40% red betel extracts while the control group used 0.9% NaCl. Sampling using consecutive sampling with a large sample of 10 respondents, the total sample swab is 20 samples. The Levine technique swab does perform in the area of the diabetic wound. Wilcoxon test was used as a different test in each group showing a group.Results: The results showed that the Wilcoxon test was used as a different test in each group showing a group. of 20% p-value 0,109, group 40% p-value 0,109 and a dick group p-value 0,180. Conclusion: There was a decrease in the number of bacteria after irrigation betel leaf extract in all groups. The 40% betel extract irrigation group showed an average reduction in bacterial numbers. The DFI wound had an average difference in all groups but was not significant.  The suggestion for research follows: Taking more samples, the use of red betel extract as an alternative for infection control in wounds.  Further research can be done by isolating the red betel content need for more sampling

Abstract

Background: Empathy, from the Greek empathetic means to enter into the feeling, a term initially used by aesthetic theorists, to designate the ability to perceive the subjective experience of the other. For empathy to occur as a therapeutic process, it is essential that a relationship of mutual respect be developed and that nurses provide individualized care, respecting the culture, beliefs and values of the person. Purpose: This study aimed to determine to know and characterize the scientific production on Empathy in Mental Health Nursing Care in Brazil.Methods: This is a metasynthesis performed in the first half of 2018 that involved five stages: formulation of the problem, data collection, evaluation of the collected data, analysis and interpretation of the data, and presentation of the results.Results: Of the 6 studies that were part of this metasynthesis, the method most used among the forms of treatment among the health professional/patient is the biomedical model, focusing on the disease and not on the human being in a broad and holistic way, consequently, being performed only one punctual care and not a care in order to meet all the biopsychosocial needs of the patient. Conclusion: As a way to improve care and meet the patient's needs, empathy is one of the main tools of mental health care in Brazil, because with it we can gain trust and establish bonds with the patient, thus gaining an effective relationship for both parties, thus being able to perform an affectionate, integrative and productive care

Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, poses a significant disease burden for older women. Often assessed using Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scale, the association between osteoporosis and HRQoL is scarce, with the majority of quality of life studies focused on osteoporotic women post fracture.   Purpose: The study’s primary objectives were to examine if differences exist in HRQoL among women greater than 50 years of age who have and/or do not have osteoporosis and to gain insight into the relationship of HRQoL and osteoporosis.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional design involving data extraction on women aged 50 years or older from 2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) was used (N = 4,661).  HRQoL was measured by the generic Short-Form-12 Version 2 Physical (PCS) and Mental Health (MCS) component summary scores. The differences between osteoporosis and PCS and MCS were examined using t-tests and multivariable ordinary least squares regression.Results: Overall, 4.1% women aged 50 and older had osteoporosis.  In both bivariate and multivariable analyses, no statistically significant differences were observed in HRQoL measures between women with and/or without osteoporosis. Conclusion: No group differences in HRQoL by osteoporosis status suggest the need for additional research using other research methodologies to flush out nuances in QOL changes. Clinician actions focused on insured and uninsured women with osteoporosis must include early and ongoing QOL assessment, with a focus on physical changes overtime

Abstract

Background: The kind of attitude expressed by the nurses may have significant effect on the recovery process of the patient and on their decision to avail treatment. It is anticipated that by exploring the attitudes of the nurses towards AUD patients and understanding the factors which influences these attitudes, more effective interventions can be developed to provide help and support to this group of patient and also to the nurses in being effective and appropriate in responding to the needs of this group of patient.Purpose: The study was conducted to explore the prevailing attitudes of nurses towards AUD patients, and to further explore the factors influencing these attitudes.Methods: A total of fifteen nurses from Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hosiptal were recruited based on convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Qualitative approach was employed by means of conducting face to face in-depth interviews using open ended questions. The qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis method.Results: The findings from the study suggest that possessing adequate knowledge on alcohol and addiction, being regularly engaged with AUD patients or having few years of experience working with AUD patients were some of the factors which resulted in more positive attitudes among the nurses. On the contrary, insufficient skills and knowledge related to alcohol addiction and exhibition of aggressive behaviour by the patients could cause negative feelings and ultimately lead to negative attitudes.Conclusion: Therefore, it is of paramount importance that a curriculum on alcohol addiction is introduced in diploma and degree nursing courses offered in Bhutan.
