Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is an emerging global disease that has an impact on health, psychological and physiological aspects and requires nurses to adapt during the post-pandemic period. One of the adaptation techniques so that nurses can improve the quality of family life and post-pandemic work can be done by means of self-hypnosis using motivational audio. Previous studies have shown that self-hypnosis using motivational audio is an effective method that is economical, fast, safe, and can be carried out independently to relieve anxiety and stress-related disorders, but there has been no report whether it has an impact on the quality of nursing work life. This study aims to analyze the effect of stress management with self-hypnosis on the quality of nursing work life of nurses after the COVID-19 pandemic at X Hospital. Quantitative research methods using quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pre-posttest design. The research sample of 118 nurses was divided into an intervention group and a control group. Respondents were given a self-hypnosis intervention using motivational audio. The measuring instrument is a quality of nursing work life questionnaire. The results showed that there were differences in the effect of self-hypnosis on quality of nursing work life during pre and post intervention in the intervention group (p-value 0.000) and the control group (p-value 1.000). There was no partial effect on the characteristics of nurses during the pre and post intervention in the intervention and controlgroups with a p value > 0.05. There is a simultaneous effect of the age variable on the quality of nursing work life with a p value of 0.001 (p <0.05). Self-hypnosis uses motivational audiobeing a way for nurses of all ages to manage anxiety and stress-related disorders so that they are able to adapt to post-pandemic conditions of COVID-19 so as to improve the quality of nurses' work lives.BAHASA INDONESIA Pandemi COVID-19 merupakan penyakit global emerging yang berdampak pada aspek kesehatan, psikologis, dan fisiologis serta membutuhkan proses adaptasi perawat pada masa post pandemic.

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a collection of several clinical symptoms that are marked by pain or discomfort in the lower back, which may or may not extend to the legs. Incorrect ergonomics is the primary factor contributing to lower back pain (LBP) among nurses. The objective of this study was to establish a correlation between the extent of ergonomics knowledge and the occurrence of lower back pain (LBP) complaints among nurses who work with hospitalised patients. This study employed a correlational quantitative design, utilising a cross-sectional technique. The sample size for this study consisted of 158 nurses working in the inpatient unit of a private hospital in Indonesia. The sampling technique employed was a total sampling, resulting in a sample size of 158 nurses. The research employed questionnaires that were both valid and trustworthy. The questionnaires assessing knowledge of ergonomics were devised by Bunga et al. (2019), whilst the questionnaire pertaining to low back pain was formulated by Deria (2021). The findings of the Pearson chi-square statistical test indicated a p-value of 0.105, suggesting that there was no statistically significant association between the level of knowledge of ergonomics postures and complaints of low back pain among inpatient nurses. Inpatient nurses have the ability to discover and implement ergonomic postures in their regular tasks. Further research could be undertaken on the elements that can induce low back discomfort.

Abstract

The sleep quality and academic performance of students are influenced by their activity patterns, which in turn affects their health status. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of research specifically addressing sleep problems among nursing students. The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the features of nursing students that are associated with variations in their sleep quality. This study employs a correlational descriptive research design, utilising a quantitative technique. A total of 117 individuals were surveyed. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were employed to assess variations in sleep quality according to the attributes of the participants. The findings indicated that a significant majority of participants, up to 87.2%, experienced substandard sleep quality. Based on the subjective evaluation of PSQI components, 50.4% of participants were classified as having good sleep quality. Additionally, 34.2% reported experiencing difficulty falling asleep more than three times a week within 30 minutes. The majority of participants (42.5%) reported a sleep duration of 6-7 hours. Furthermore, 4.3% of participants had taken sleeping pills in the past month. Furthermore, the results demonstrated a strong correlation between the ages of the respondents and their sleep quality (p=0.047). This study uncovers a worrisome pattern indicating that the sleep quality of nursing students is significantly subpar. Hence, it is imperative to employ both academic and non-academic strategies and advancements to enhance the quality of students' sleep.

Abstract

Calling is a strategy for discovering the purpose and significance of every individual, including the nurse. The awareness of a calling can motivate nurses to commit to a career. The greater nurses' awareness of their calling, the greater their devotion and sense of purpose in their work. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between calling and career commitment among Christian nurses in Indonesia. The study utilized a quantitative correlational method and cross-sectional approaches utilizing online survey technique. Accidental sampling was utilized, obtaining 96 Indonesian Christian nurses. The instruments were the Indonesian version of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ) (Alpha Cronbach = 0.873) and the Career Commitment Scale (CCS) questionnaire (Alpha Cronbach = 0.820). Data was analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analysis using Spearman rank correlation test. This study discovered a moderately positive correlation between a nurse's calling and career commitment (p = 0.001; r = 0.362). It is suggested that future research investigates other factors that may affect the nurse's career commitment. Understanding one's own calling as a nurse and acting on it is essential to increasing nurses' commitment to their profession.

Abstract

Appendectomy is a surgical procedure that involves an incision to remove an inflamed appendix. This surgical procedure can cause patients to experience pain due to the incision and tearing of tissue in the abdominal wall. If the pain is not addressed, it can interfere with the healing process, increase stress, and potentially affect the pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of finger grip relaxation and back massage in post-operative appendectomy patients with acute pain nursing problems. This research design is a case study involving two participants post-operative appendectomy patients with acute pain nursing problems. Nursing care was provided for three consecutive days using the interventions of finger grip relaxation and back massage with the pain scale measurement used as the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The results of the study showed that the acute pain problem was resolved by the third day, with patient 1's pain scale decreasing from 5 on the first day to 3 on the third day, and patient 2's pain scale decreasing from 6 to 4 on the third day. Finger grip relaxation and back massage can be applied as additional therapy to reduce pain intensity in post-operative appendectomy patients by providing physical and mental relaxation, thus relieving pain.BAHASA INDONESIA Apendiktomi merupakan proses pembedahan dengan cara disayat untuk mengangkat apendiks yang meradang. Tindakan pembedahan ini dapat menyebabkan penderitanya merasakan nyeri akibat dari insisi yang disebabkan oleh robeknya jaringan pada dinding perut.

Abstract

In the field of palliative care nursing, Breaking Bad News (BBN) involves providing accurate information regarding the patient's status, which is often distressing for both the patient and their family. BBN is a collaborative endeavour including doctors and nurses. Patients frequently anticipate nurses to provide a reiteration of information previously conveyed by doctors. The phenomena are the lack of specialized training for nurses in Breaking Bad News (BBN), resulting in families frequently requesting nurses to provide further explanations on their health and treatment plan. The objective of this study was to investigate the firsthand encounter of nurses in BBN (Breaking Bad News). The approach employed qualitative phenomenology. 10 individuals were interviewed using semi-structured interviews to collect data. The Colaizzi Technique was employed for the analysis. Outcome: The study yielded four distinct themes: the collaborative efforts of nurses and doctors in BBN through therapeutic communication, the challenges faced by nurses when families lack understanding, the provision of BBN by nurses based on their professional experience, and the positive aspects observed by nurses in families. The study's findings revealed that nurses often face situations when they were required to Break Bad News (BBN), while lacking formal training in this domain. Nurses and doctors should undergo training in BBN (Breaking Bad News) to ensure they are sufficiently prepared to deliver such news to patients.BAHASA INDONESIA Dalam keperawatan paliatif, Breaking Bad News (BBN) memberikan informasi tentang kondisi pasien yang sebenarnya, yang sering kali merupakan berita buruk bagi pasien dan keluarganya. BBN merupakan peran kolaboratif antara dokter dan perawat. Fenomena yang terjadi adalah perawat tidak mendapatkan pelatihan khusus dalam menyampaikan BBN, dan perawat sering diminta oleh keluarga pasien untuk menjelaskan kembali informasi yang telah diberikan oleh dokter. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman perawat dalam memberikan BBN. Metode yang digunakan adalah fenomenologi kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan 10 partisipan. Analisis menggunakan Teknik Colaizzi. Hasil penelitian didapatkan empat tema, yaitu kolaborasi antara perawat dan dokter memberikan BBN dengan komunikasi terapeutik, perawat mengalami kesulitan saat keluarga tidak mengerti, perawat memberikan BBN berdasarkan pengalaman kerja, dan perawat melihat hal positif pada keluarga. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah perawat sering diminta untuk memberikan BBN, namun perawat belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan khusus dalam memberikan BBN. Rekomendasi untuk perawat dan dokter agar mendapatkan pelatihan tentang BBN, sehingga perawat lebih siap dalam memberikan BBN kepada pasien.
