Abstract

Chronic kidney failure is becoming increasingly common and rising annually. Patients in stage five require hemodialysis or kidney transplantation due to the risk of blood pressure instability and fatigue. This study aimed to analyze the effect of flexibility exercise on reducing fatigue scores and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients at "X" Hospital, Serang Regency. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was conducted from August to September 2024, involving 28 participants in the intervention group and 28 in the control group. The participants were selected using purposive sampling to ensure they met specific inclusion criteria relevant to the study. The intervention lasted for four weeks, utilizing the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) questionnaire and blood pressure measurements as research instruments. At baseline, most participants in both groups had severe fatigue (intervention: 85.7%; control: 92.9%) and hypertension (systolic: severe in 78.6% vs. 82.1%; diastolic: mild in 100% vs. 96.4%). Post-intervention, the exercise group showed significant reductions in fatigue (p=0.001) and systolic blood pressure (p=0.001), but not in diastolic blood pressure (p=0.599). The control group showeed no significant changes (fatigue: p=0.117; systolic: p=0.085; diastolic: p=0.225). Logistic regression indicated that flexibility exercise, occupation, and dialysis duration significantly influenced reductions in fatigue and systolic pressure (p<0.05), while gender and education did not (p>0.05). The intervention reduced fatigue by 71% (OR: 9.954; p=0.016) and systolic hypertension likelihood by 4-fold (p=0.003) compared to controls. The flexibility exercise intervention resulted in a 71% reduction in fatigue (OR = 9.954; p = 0.016) and significantly increased the likelihood of systolic blood pressure improvement by a factor of four compared to the control group (OR = 4.012; p = 0.003). Flexibility exercise is thus effective in reducing fatigue and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Further research is recommended to investigate external factors, such as social support, psychological conditions, and lifestyle influences to better understand the health outcomes of hemodialysis patients.

Abstract

One of the medical diagnoses of mental disorders that is part of education in psychiatric nursing is schizophrenia. Part of the education of psychiatric nursing provides important information about mental disorders and learns new skills to deal with various challenging behaviors.  The anxiety felt by psychiatric nursing students are normal and usually do not continue after students have initial contact with patients. Aim on this study is to explore the effectiveness of VR-based simulations in enhancing the skills of nursing students in caring for patients with mental health disorders. This study method uses literature review. The literature used in this study consists of journals sourced from Wiley Online, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar between 2015 and 2024. Article selection used the protocol guidelines (PRISMA) of identification, screening, eligibility and resulted in 10 articles being analyzed. VR simulations provide immersive and realistic environments where students can safely practice therapeutic communication, conduct mental health assessments, and develop critical thinking skills. Research indicates that VR simulations significantly enhance students' skills, knowledge, and empathy in psychiatric nursing. Despite their advantages, VR technologies face limitations, such as VR technology presents challenges such as technical difficulties. However, evidence suggests that VR-based training is a promising tool for advancing psychiatric nursing education by fostering essential skills and promoting behavioral health equity among future nurses.

Abstract

Self-concept and social interaction are important factors in the development of nursing students' professional skills. A positive self-concept can enhance students’ ability to engage in effective social interactions, which plays a vital role in building strong interpersonal relationships within academic and clinical practice environments. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-concept and social interaction among nursing students at a private university in Tangerang. This study employed a quantitative correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. A total of,302 nursing students from a private university in Western Indonesia were selected using a quota sampling technique. The instruments included the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) and the Social Interaction Psychology Scale, both of which were utilized in their validated Indonesian-language versions. Data analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation was conducted to examine the relationship between self-concept and social interaction. The findings showed that most students had a moderate level of self-concept (64.9%) and social interaction (73.2%). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation of moderate strength between self-concept and social interaction among nursing students. This suggests that students with a better self-concept tend to demonstrate more effective social interaction. Therefore, educational institutions are encouraged to develop programs aimed at enhancing both self-concept and social interaction to support students’ academic performance and professional development.

Abstract

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) activates muscle fibers by applying electrical currents via electrodes to targeted muscles and is widely used by competitive athletes. Despite its board application, the specific effects of EMS on swimmere remain underexplored. This study evaluates the effectiveness of EMS Butterfly in enhancing speed and performance among novice swimmers compared to conventional training. A single-group pre-post experimental design was conducted with 21 beginer swimmers (treatment group: 14; control group: 7). The treatment group received EMS for 15 minutes before regular training, twice weekly for once month. Speed was assessed by timing a 50-meter freestyle swim using a calibrated digital stopwatch. Statistical analysis included paired t-test and Shapiro-Wilk for normality. All participants were matched for ability and fitness and supervised by coaches and sport nurses. The treatment group demonstrated a mean time reduction of 14.0 seconds (95% CI: 3.63, 21.85), which was statistically significant (p<0.05), whereas the control group improved by 3.7 seconds (95% CI: -7.87, 15.29; p>0.05). The difference between groups was stattiscally significant. These findings indicate that EMS Butterfly is effective for improving novice swimmers' performance, supporting its integration into training programs. Further research is recommended to evaluate long-term effects across performance levels.

Abstract

Sexual harassment against women is a growing problem that remains unresolved globally. Sexual harassment can cause trauma and even depression in victims. It can lead to psychological trauma and even depression in victims. Based on an initial survey of 20 female nursing students, 85% reported experiencing sexual harassment through words, stares, and whistles. Nurses are one of the health workers who are vulnerable to sexual harassment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of nursing students toward sexual harassment. This study employs univariate and bivariate analysis, using a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, and the statistical test used is the chi-square test. The sample in this study consists of 199 first-year nursing students selected using purposive sampling. The study was conducted from January to March 2024. The results showed that 147 (73.9%) nursing students had good knowledge and 108 (54.3%) had a positive attitude toward sexual harassment, with a p-value of 0.014, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude toward sexual harassment. Good knowledge shapes students' attitudes toward sexual harassment. Students must continue to improve their knowledge about sexual harassment. Further research is encouraged to explore factors related to attitudes toward sexual harassment.

Abstract

The role of the family in caring for individuals with schizophrenia is crucial, particularly in providing emotional support, monitoring treatment, and assisting with daily activities. This involvement inevitably leads to care burden, which can result in inadequate care during the pandemic. This study aimed to explore how families adapted to caring for a family member with schizophrenia during the pandemic. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach and was conducted in East Java, Indonesia. The participants included seven family members who provided care for individuals with schizophrenia within their households; none of the participants were related to each other. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Four main themes were found by the thematic analysis, including: 1) Feeling an excessive burden of caring; 2) Hoping for the recovery of schizophrenia patient; 3) A sense of responsibility to continue caring for schizophrenia patient (core theme); 4) Trying to survive in caring for schizophrenia patient during the pandemic. The findings suggest that nurses can help alleviate family caregiving burdens through targeted interventions such as Community Mental Health Nursing and Psychosocial Mental Health Support, crucial strategies for maintaining family well-being and preventing patient relapse.

Abstract

Introduction: The number of patients with hypertension is steadily increasing and poses a significant chronic health problem. Individuals with hypertension have an 87.5% risk of experiencing a stroke. The role of family as caregivers is crucial in elderly care, particularly in stroke prevention. The family empowerment model is an approach designed to enhance self-potential, enabling individuals to make informed decisions regarding their own health. This study aimed to examine the effect of a family empowerment model on stroke prevention behavior among the elderly with hypertension. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 132 families with hypertensive elderly, using multistage random sampling. A six-week intervention program consisting of education and skill-building activities was implemented. Stroke prevention behaviour was measured using the validated Elderly Stroke Prevention Behaviour Questionnaire (knowledge, attitude and behaviour). Data were analysed using paired and independent t-tests. Results: Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group following the implementation of the family empowerment model (p < 0.001). Knowledge scores improved from 6.61 (SD = 1.86) to 9.15 (SD = 0.88), attitude scores improved from 17.11 (SD = 2.30) to 25.79 (SD = 3.30), and behaviour scores improved from 7.18 (SD = 2.20) to 9.02 (SD = 0.97).  Conclusion: The eight-week empowerment model effectively improved stroke prevention behaviour among the elderly with hypertension This model can be integrated into community-based programs to promote elderly self-care and reduce the risk of stroke. Recommendations: Empowering the elderly is essential to enhance self-efficacy and overall quality of life.

Abstract

Despite the availability of cervical cancer prevention programs through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in Indonesia, the overall immunization coverage remains limited. One of the main contributing factors is the low intention among the community to receive the HPV vaccine. Low intention may lead to limited vaccination uptake. This study aims to compare differences in intention to get HPV vaccination among three groups of female decision makers, namely, adult women who take their own vaccine decisions, adolescent girls who rely on their parents to decide on vaccination, and parents who help make decisions regarding HPV vaccination for their daughters. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Each group of decision makers consisted of 147 people, with a total of 441 respondents. The data collected were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test. The statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in intention among the three groups (p<0.001). The highest mean intention rank was in the adult women group (mean-rank=273.55), followed by parents (mean-rank=214.37), and the lowest in adolescent girls (mean-rank=175.09). Women's intention to receive the HPV vaccine is influenced by their level of independence in decision-making. Adult women with full decision-making autonomy demonstrated the highest intention. These findings highlight the need for tailored approaches in promoting HPV vaccination based on decision-making roles to improve vaccination uptake.

Abstract

Human physiology is a core subject in nursing education, providing essential knowledge for understanding the human body and applying this knowledge in clinical practice. Despite its importance, many nursing students face difficulties in mastering complex physiological concepts, leading to gaps between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensure that future nurses are adequately prepared to deliver safe and effective patient care. This study aimed to evaluate nursing students’ understanding of human physiology concepts in basic biomedical science education and to explore differences based on gender and semester level. A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted with 50 nursing students from the second and fourth semesters at Famika University. Data were collected using a validated 25-item multiple-choice physiology test. Content validity was reviewed by experts, and a pilot test yielded a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82, confirming good reliability. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 with descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and chi-square tests, applying a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that second-semester students achieved higher comprehension scores (77.75%, Good) than fourth-semester students (68%, Fair). Male students also performed better (81.25%, Good) compared to female students (74.52%, Fair). These findings suggest that variations in students’ understanding may be influenced by academic workload, prior learning experiences, and learning motivation. Strengthening physiology education through active learning strategies and better integration of biomedical science content into the nursing curriculum is therefore recommended.
