Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face antenatal care (ANC) services were limited. Therefore, we developed the Android digital application “Guide Me” with a holistic care concept for optimizing ANC.Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Android digital application “Guide Me” on optimizing ANC. Methods: The present study used an experimental research design. The participants included 302 pregnant women selected through block randomization, with 160 in the intervention group and 142 in the control group. The intervention involved providing ANC services using a digital Android application at home, with health services visited only when treatment was necessary. The intervention group received usual care along with the Android application, “Guide Me”, which included a holistic nursing concept program, while the control group received only the usual care. Data were collected three times, and the ANC scale was used to measure ANC optimization. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data.Results: There were significant differences in the optimization of ANC ([F=96.887, df (1,300), p<0.001]) between the intervention and control groups. The target of 14 T in the intervention group showed significant statistical differences over three times ([F=118.35, df (1,308), p<0.001]) compared to the control group, with optimization of ANC increasing from 45.79 to 59.16 in the intervention group and from 44.09 to 45.77 in the control group.Conclusions: The program effectively increased ANC optimization. Pregnant women feel more at ease in their own homes and have less time to visit a hospital. Therefore, they may accept and even appreciate online apps and telemonitoring as alternatives to ANC checks.

Abstract

Background: First-line Nurse Managers (FLNMs) occupy pivotal positions within healthcare systems and are responsible for various administrative and caregiving functions. While FLNMs are integral to efficient healthcare services, their competencies and the factors influencing them still need to be explored in Jordan. In light of the need for more research on FLNM competencies in Jordan, this study is paramount for advancing healthcare in the country.Purpose: This study aimed to analyze FLNM competence and its influencing factors within the unique context of Jordan’s healthcare system.Methods: As a cross-sectional study, this research leveraged online platforms to distribute questionnaires to 130 FLNMs across three public hospitals in Jordan’s central region using a random sampling method. Univariate analysis comprised numerical data (Mean, median, mode, SD) and categorical data (percentage and proportion). Pearson, independent t-test, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.Results: Based on responses from 130 FLNMs, the study’s results demonstrate their average age to be approximately 37.8 years, with a significant proportion holding master’s degrees, indicating a highly educated cohort. Notably, many FLNMs are charge nurses, reflecting their extensive experience and commitment to enhancing their leadership competencies. The study found no significant correlation between age and FLNM competencies, suggesting that competence is not solely contingent upon years of experience or age (p>0.05). The research revealed that the highest to the lowest significance in FLNM performance were leadership training (b=21.15, 95%CI=7.70-34.60, p=0.002), gender-based disparities (b=16.50, 95%CI=4.41-28.58, p=0.008) and social status (b=7.86, 95%CI=1.13-14.60, p=0.02), respectively. Conclusion: FLNMs exhibit high competence, influenced by leadership training, gender disparities, and social status. The research highlights the need for tailored training and support programs to improve the competencies of FLNMs in Jordan’s healthcare system, highlighting gender-based differences and the need for personalized healthcare management strategies to improve healthcare quality.

Abstract

Background: Prediabetes is a condition that can be controlled and managed to prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This condition can occur at all ages, especially in young adults. However, little is known about what factors increase the risk of prediabetes in young adults in East Java, Indonesia.Purpose: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and the influential risk factors of prediabetes among young adults in East Java, Indonesia.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The purposive sampling technique was used to recruit young adults in East Java Province, Indonesia. International physical activity questionnaire short-form version questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) and physical indicators for anthropometry were used to obtain data on sociodemographic characteristics, prediabetes knowledge, and physical activity. In addition, blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Multivariable logistic regression was employed in the analysis to determine risk factors associated with prediabetes.Results: There were 126 participants recruited, with 69 (54.8%) having prediabetes based on IFG levels. Age (p=0.035), regular exercise (p=0.015), activity level (p=0.026), body weight (p=<0.001), waist circumference (p=0.002), BMI (p=<0.001) and obesity (p=<0.001) were significant factors associated with prediabetes.Conclusion: The high prevalence of prediabetes in young adults is associated with age, routine exercise, activity level, body weight, waist circumference, BMI and obesity. It is crucial to implement strategies, such as regular IFG testing, to identify young adults with these risk factors for prediabetes screening.

Abstract

Background: Caring behaviour is essential for patient health; however, it is often not practised optimally. Therefore, spiritually-based leadership is required to encourage this behaviour. Unfortunately, research investigating the ability of spiritual leadership to enhance caring behaviour through spiritual well-being is limited.Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of spiritual leadership and spiritual well-being in the form of calling and membership on caring behaviour.Methods: This study employed an explanatory quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. One hundred fourteen inpatient nurses who provided comprehensive patient care were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Spiritual Leadership Questionnaire and the Caring Behaviours Inventory. The analysis adopted partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using a second-order reflective-formative model.Results: The findings demonstrate that spiritual leadership has a significant direct effect on caring behaviour (t=3.976, p=0.000), calling (t=4.672, p=0.000), and membership (t=2.845, p=0.005). However, the direct impact of membership on caring behaviour was insignificant (t=1.298, p=0.194). Calling proved to mediate the effects of spiritual leadership on caring behaviour (t=3.145, p=0.002), while membership could not function as a mediator (t=1.197, p=0.231).Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of spiritual leadership in nursing care, particularly in enhancing nurses’ caring behaviours. Healthcare organizations should implement training programs on spiritual leadership to encourage calling nurses to perform their duties with dedication. Developing nurse membership should be considered, but the main focus must be on strategies that strengthen nurses’ calling, as this is an essential factor in providing quality and empathetic care.

Abstract

Background: Nursing workforce migration is a function of the nursing practice environment and satisfaction with the general situation of their country of practice. There is a need to provide empirical data on the intent to migrate among nurses and satisfaction with the working environment in Nigeria.  Purpose: This study aimed to assess migration intention, favorability of practice environment, and level of satisfaction with the Nigerian environment among nurses in a private teaching hospital in Nigeria.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study recruited participants using a simple random sampling technique. In all, 124 nurses participated in the study. Data were collected using the migration intention questionnaire, nursing practice environment scale, and satisfaction with Nigeria environment questionnaire. All ethical principles were adhered to. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.Results: An overwhelming majority (95.2%) had the intention to migrate to other countries, with 63.6% of them having already been in the migration process. Canada (34.8%) and the United Kingdom (33.9%) were the most sought-after countries. Nurse manager ability, leadership, and support scored highest on the favourability of the nursing practice environment (M=2.92, SD=0.80), while staffing and resources inadequacy had the lowest score (M=2.63, SD=0.68). Overall, 75.8% of the nurses described their practice environment as favourable. Political conflicts and wars were the most dissatisfying areas of Nigeria’s environment. Overall, the majority (61.3%) of nurses were dissatisfied with the Nigerian environment.Conclusion: The majority of the nurses participating in the study were planning to migrate to another country and were not satisfied with Nigeria’s environment. The nurses claimed that their practice environment was unfavourable. There is a need to make the nursing practice environment more favorable to the nurses.

Abstract

Background: Perioperative nursing is highly demanding due to the long hours of complex procedures, limited support, inadequate facilities, and staffing issues. These factors contribute to fatigue, frustration, and burnout. However, there is a paucity of data on the challenges and experiences of perioperative nurses in Southwestern Nigeria.Purpose: This study aimed to explore work-related experiences and challenges of perioperative nurses in selected hospitals in a southwestern state, Nigeria.Methods: The study adopted a phenomenological qualitative design. Twenty perioperative nurses who had spent a minimum of six months in the operating theatres of three public hospitals were selected. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using a key informant interview guide. The qualitative data collected were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analysed using content and thematic analysis.Results: Findings from the study revealed two major themes: the experiences of perioperative nurses in Osun State and the challenges confronting perioperative nursing practice and perioperative nurses. The study reported perioperative nurses’ personal experiences, motivational factors, and their aspirations. Findings further showed that challenges to perioperative nursing include inadequate infrastructure and equipment, a shortage of manpower, financial constraints faced by patients, and insufficient funding for perioperative nursing services.Conclusion: The study concluded that perioperative nurses’ experiences were educative and fulfilling yet challenging and frustrating due to the numerous obstacles they face in their professional roles. Therefore, stakeholders need to address these challenges to enable perioperative nurses to function optimally and improve outcomes for surgical patients.

Abstract

Background:  Kalimantan remains malaria-endemic, particularly in rural areas, where prevention efforts face challenges such as insecticide resistance and limited healthcare access. Despite available measures like insecticide-treated nets, gaps in understanding individual and household prevention practices persist, especially in relation to demographics and effectiveness in reducing malaria transmission.Purpose: This study aimed to examine the individual and household-level malaria prevention strategies utilized in rural Kalimantan and evaluate their effectiveness in reducing malaria incidence.Methods: The study was a secondary analysis of the 2018 Indonesian basic health research (Riskesdas). A total of 67,155 respondents in Kalimantan were analyzed including respondent characteristics, memories of malaria infection, and individual and household malaria prevention efforts. The data were collected through the result of the 2018 Riskesdas survey. Bivariate regression and multivariable logistic regression were used in data analysis.Results:  Self-reported malaria rates were higher among older respondents compared to younger ones. Women reported lower malaria rates than men, especially in South Kalimantan. In West Kalimantan, the use of bed nets was associated with higher self-reported malaria rates (OR=1.838, 95%CI 1.147–2.943). Short-term use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) showed varying odds across provinces: Central Kalimantan (OR=3.659, 95%CI 1.378–9.717), South Kalimantan (OR=10.811, 95%CI 3.649–32.030), East Kalimantan (OR=2.615, 95%CI 1.041–6.567), and West Kalimantan (OR=2.428, 95%CI 1.446–4.078). In all provinces, preventive measures such as coils or electric mats reduced self-reported malaria cases. The use of mosquito screens was effective in South Kalimantan (OR=0.208, 95%CI 0.027–1.598), Central Kalimantan (OR=0.365, 95%CI 0.120–2.181), and North Kalimantan (OR=0.000, 95%CI 0.000–0.000). The multivariate model highlighted mosquito nets as the most effective household-scale prevention in nearly all Kalimantan provinces except North Kalimantan.Conclusion:  This study showed that individuals aged 25 and over, women, non-farmers, and those using ITNs and other preventive measures, especially in rural areas, were less likely to report malaria, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions from local health authorities.

Abstract

Background: Although mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is one of the primary causes of death and disability worldwide, research on the prevalence of post-concussion syndrome (PCS) after mTBI is still extremely limited. Previous studies have shown that approximately 10-15% of mTBI patients experience PCS, yet these studies often have different methodologies and sample sizes.Purpose: This study aimed to determine and compare the prevalence of persistent PCS (more than one month post-injury) with those without PCS in mTBI patients.Methods: This study employed a retrospective cohort design and analyzed patient data from hospital records between July and December 2022, yielding a sample of 316 participants with mTBI. Patients with complete medical record data and active health checks for one month after being treated were taken as research subjects. PCS measurement was conducted using the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ). Data were analyzed using an independent t-test with a two-tailed distribution to compare variables between groups (groups with PCS and without PCS).Results: The prevalence of persistent PCS in mTBI patients was 112 (35.4%) patients. The occurrence of persistent PCS was found to be most prevalent in the second month and in motor vehicle accident-related injuries, with 49 (43.7%) patients and 80 (71.4%) patients, respectively. Problems concentrating (37.5%), headache (30.3%), and light sensitivity (32.1%) were the most common symptoms of PCS.Conclusions: A significant proportion of persistent PCS was found, with the most prevalent occurring in the second month after mTBI and involving motor vehicle-related injuries. These findings warrant better screening guidelines and practices that patients can adopt after mTBI.

Abstract

Background: The Badjao, a nomadic maritime group in Southeast Asia, faces heightened vulnerability during public health crises due to their reliance on maritime livelihoods, limited healthcare access, and historical marginalization – challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a significant research gap in understanding their unique needs and vulnerabilities, especially its specific impacts on their health and well-being due to the pandemic.Purpose: This study explores the psychological and social health of the Badjao and the factors affecting them during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This study used an exploratory qualitative design. Guided semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 purposively selected Badjao respondents from Barangay Bus-Bus, Jolo-Sulu, Philippines. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: The study identified five key themes related to the psychosocial health of the Badjao community during COVID-19 and the affecting factors. They were: (1) Feelings and apprehension, with anxiety over contracting the virus and financial instability; (2) Responses to the pandemic, marked by fear of death, job loss, and hospitalization concerns; (3) Coping mechanisms, where the community relied on traditional remedies, social support, and quarantine adherence; (4) Social status, highlighting food insecurity and disrupted social interactions; and (5) Factors influencing psychosocial health, focusing on the importance of support systems and access to accurate information and resources.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the social and economic stability of the Badjao community, exacerbating their existing vulnerabilities. The community needed culturally sensitive interventions that addressed both their immediate and long-term needs. Collaborations with local government units and stakeholders are crucial in supporting the resilience and well-being of the Badjao in future crises.

Abstract

Background:  Fathers are crucial to family well-being and beyond during pregnancy and childbirth. However, research on the long-term effects of father involvement during prenatal and its postpartum outcome, particularly in Indonesia, is limited.Purpose: This study aimed to measure the direct and indirect effects of father support throughout pregnancy on postpartum depression and breastfeeding weaning time, by considering potential mediating pathways and controlling for relevant sociodemographic variables.Methods: Prospective observational techniques were employed from January to July 2021, involving 648 consecutively selected mothers attending antenatal care in seven health clinics in Makassar. Data collection included sociodemographic factors, father support, and breastfeeding weaning time. Father support was assessed using the Father Support During Pregnancy questionnaire, administered three times at a 72-hour interval. Postpartum depression was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale while breastfeeding weaning time was quantified in weeks. The analysis included Spearman's correlation and SEM using SPSS and SPSS Amos.Result: The study identified negative correlations between maternal breastfeeding weaning time and postpartum depression (r=-0.183, p<0.01) and positive correlations with father support (r=0.148, p<0.01), parity (r=-0.269, p<0.01), and marital age (r=0.187, p<0.01). The standardized model showed a marginal rise in the overall influence of father support, parity, and marital age on breastfeeding weaning time (0.256, 0.016, and 0.123, respectively). Father support emerged as the primary contributor to postpartum depression, inversely impacting breastfeeding duration. Higher father support correlated with lower maternal depression scores and longer.Conclusion: This study highlights the role of father support in reducing impact of postpartum depression on breastfeeding duration. Future research should incorporate objective measures of father support and comprehensive assessments of confounding variables. Intervention studies are needed to evaluate promoting father involvement in prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. Nurses can contribute by participating in interdisciplinary research and advocating for comprehensive assessment approaches.
