Abstract

Academic writing is a means of reporting research findings to the public, allowing them to be known, replicated, or applied. However, academic writing differs significantly from non-academic writing. It is inherently objective, grounded in research facts, and supported by citations from existing studies to substantiate or refute arguments. In contrast, non-academic writing is subjective and does not require the use of factual evidence in every analysis. This fundamental difference poses a challenge for academic writing, particularly for novice researchers.

Abstract

Introduction: Nosocomial infections, including those caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), pose a significant challenge for the global health system. MRSA, a resistant bacterium that increases morbidity and mortality, is often found in healthcare facilities and is associated with inappropriate antibiotic use and suboptimal patient management practices. Methods: This research employs an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 70 inpatient medical records that meet the inclusion criteria, with data collected from positive MRSA microbiological cultures. Analysis was conducted using SPSS. Results: The results indicate a significant relationship between the type of laboratory examination (p=0.049), use of medical therapeutic devices (p=0.023), type of antibiotics (p=0.015), and duration of treatment (p=0.033) with MRSA incidence. Patients in the ICU and PICU had a higher prevalence, as did those receiving antibiotic treatment such as penicillin (p=0.015). A treatment duration of more than 7 days also increased the risk of MRSA infection (p=0.033). Additionally, devices such as catheters showed a significant association with infection (p=0.023). Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of strict infection surveillance and control in high-risk care units, appropriate antibiotic use, and monitoring of medical therapeutic devices. The findings can serve as a foundation for more effective infection prevention policies to minimize the risks and impacts of MRSA in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Nursing is the backbone of healthcare systems, playing a vital role in public health improvement. However, armed conflicts adversely affect this profession, particularly in education and practice. In Yemen, the ongoing conflict has led to the destruction of educational and healthcare institutions, impacting the training of nurses. A study revealed that Yemeni nurses' knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) was inadequate, with only 53.65% of correct responses indicating training gaps during the war. Practitioners also face challenges such as shortages of medical resources, power outages, and the migration of skilled medical personnel. Despite these difficulties, nurses in conflict zones have demonstrated resilience and adaptability, enhancing their clinical skills. This article highlights the impact of war on the nursing profession in Yemen, focusing on challenges in practice and education.

Abstract

In March 2024, I had the opportunity to visit the city of Loma Linda, California, USA, for training. Loma Linda is a green town with a population of about 25,000, where residents exhibit a high level of health consciousness, particularly in their diet. I learned that this area has been attracting attention since around 2000 as a so-called "Blue Zone." Therefore, we will focus on the "Blue Zones," known as regions of healthy longevity, with a particular emphasis on comparing Okinawa Prefecture (Japan) and Loma Linda, California, USA. The current status and challenges of health promotion in Indonesia and future possibilities for health promotion strategies will be examined.

Abstract

Lifestyle modifications like exercise, a healthy diet, and smoking cessation are crucial for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) prevention in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Regular exercise enhances insulin sensitivity, improves blood circulation, and reduces PAD symptoms. A healthy diet with low glycemic index foods, fiber-rich vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats stabilizes blood sugar levels, reduces LDL cholesterol, and slows PAD progression. Smoking cessation improves vascular health, reduces inflammation, and lowers the risk of PAD.

Abstract

Research is an integral part of healthcare professionals' activities, including nursing. Clinical processes such as anamnesis, physical examinations, and laboratory data collection are routine procedures and fundamental mechanisms for gathering evidence-based data to support clinical decision-making. These data are subsequently analyzed to assess patient progress—whether improving, stagnating, or deteriorating. Hospitals and healthcare facilities use continuous data collection in everyday clinical practice. However, a critical question arises: To what extent does this data effectively address patient issues? Is data collection genuinely aimed at improving patient care, or is it primarily conducted to fulfill educational requirements for students and research objectives for academics?
