Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to analyze the working posture of nursing students while bathing patients in bed and to identify the musculoskeletal complaints experienced by nursing students after the intervention. Methods: This was an analytical observational study aimed at observing and analyzing the work posture of respondents while bathing patients in bed as well as identifying musculoskeletal complaints experienced by nursing students after the intervention. The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) instrument was used to determine whether the nursing students were working beyond safe limits, while the Nordic Body Map (NBM) was used to identify which parts of the body experienced discomfort. The study was conducted in the Nursing Skill Lab at one of the nursing education institutions in Bali, and involved 19 nursing students performing a case scenario related to fulfilling personal hygiene needs through bed bathing. A video of the activity was recorded and converted into images for analysis by measuring the angles of the various body parts. The scores for each body part were entered into the REBA worksheet to determine the final score. Results: The results of the study showed that wiping the nearest hand, stomach, chest, and foot had a REBA score of 7, indicating a moderate risk. In contrast, wiping the furthest hand, back, and feet had REBA scores ranging from 9 to 10, indicating a high risk. The results of the NBM questionnaire revealed that the most commonly reported musculoskeletal disorders were disorders of the back (57.4%), waist (55.4%), and feet (42.3%). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal complaints during education are a significant concern, as nursing programs must prepare students for a lifelong professional career that includes managing the physical demands of clinical practice. Therefore, modifying work procedures based on comprehensive ergonomic principles is essential, as is providing nursing students with a thorough understanding of proper ergonomic work postures.

Abstract

Researchers have often reflected on why improving community health remains a persistent challenge, and why many well-intentioned policies and interventions are often difficult to sustain or fall short in addressing complex health issues. Through the PhD journey at the University of Edinburgh, the researcher developed a deeper understanding of how community health nurses’ practice is shaped by social, cultural, and structural dynamics. This journey has also highlighted the importance of addressing the social determinants of health and adopting a critical realist lens to explore not only what happens in communities but also why, for whom, and under what conditions. This approach offers a stronger foundation for the design of effective and sustainable interventions.

Abstract

Patient safety remains a pressing global concern, with millions of preventable adverse events occurring annually, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. This perspective review highlights the critical role of Patient and Family Engagement (PFE) in enhancing patient safety and advancing patient-centered care in hospital settings. Drawing on global frameworks such as the WHO Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030 and national policies from countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Indonesia, this article underscores the ethical and practical imperatives of involving patients and families as active partners in care. Evidence shows that PFE improve communication, reduce hospital readmissions, enhance treatment adherence, and contribute to better health outcomes. Despite its proven benefits, PFE remains underutilized owing to systemic barriers such as hierarchical communication, limited staff training, and cultural norms. This article calls for a multidimensional approach to embed PFE into hospital practices, including policy reform, education, and leadership support. Future research is recommended to explore practical strategies for implementing PFE and engage all stakeholders in fostering safer, more responsive healthcare systems.

Abstract

The concepts of nurse and nursing are inherently interwoven, representing distinct yet inseparable dimensions that are unified by the universal principle of caring. Caring for humanity must be delivered through a holistic approach, wherein therapeutic communication emerges as a defining characteristic of nursing practice. This form of communication serves not only as a therapeutic intervention in fostering interpersonal relationships with patients but also as a vital bridge in collaboration with other healthcare professionals. Within this framework, nurses are ethically and professionally obligated to provide care that is both evidence-based and holistic, while upholding the principles of responsibility and accountability in every intervention they deliver.
