Abstract

Background: Self-reported maternal mood symptoms during pregnancy have been related to poor birth outcomes, including low birth weight, increased risk of premature delivery, and pre-eclampsia among pregnant women. A non-pharmacological method is needed to overcome mood symptoms such as anxiety during pregnancy.Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of yoga relaxation on anxiety levels among pregnant women at the third trimester.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental research design and involved 30 pregnant women at the third trimester who were equally divided into two groups. The levels of anxiety were measured by using Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data were analysed using the independent t-test and the paired sample t-test.Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the anxiety levels before and after the intervention in the experimental group (t=7.56, p=0.005), and there was a significant difference in the anxiety levels after the intervention between the experimental and control group (t=-9.289, p=0.005).Conclusion: Yoga relaxation had an effect on reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women at the third trimester. It is expected that pregnant women use yoga relaxation to decrease anxiety.

Abstract

Background: Cetuximab, irinotecan, levoforinate, and 5-FU (FOLFIRI) are medicines commonly administered to advanced colorectal cancer patients through chemotherapy. Although this regimen is standardized for recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer, the emerging of myocardial infarction is rare.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to consider the development of myocardial infarction during the chemotherapy of colorectal cancer.Methods: A retrospective case study was conducted to one patient. An 80-year-old man who developed acute myocardial infarction was in chemotherapy with cetuximab + FOLFIRI with multiple lung metastases after rectal cancer surgery. Data were collected from the patient’s medical and nursing records as well as the physiological function test results.Results: Three days after the 38th administration, the patient visited an emergency outpatient mainly with complaints of dyspnea and back pain. Electrocardiogram showed that the lower wall infarction was suspected. The patient was transferred to a specialized cardiovascular hospital. Emergency coronary angiography was performed in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. The patient was discharged on the 10th of disease day.Conclusion: In this case, it was thought that cetuximab + FOLFIRI synergistically induced hyper thrombogenicity, coronary plaque erosion, and acute myocardial infarction. It may also be necessary for interventions such as monitoring the risks in daily living by the medical care providers and guidance on risk avoidance behaviors.

Abstract

Background: The healthcare workforce of Saudi Arabia is characterized by diverse cultural backgrounds as a consequence of the employment of expatriate workers from various countries. The heterogeneity of both providers of health services and clients results in cultural barriers that affect the delivery care. It is paramount to evaluate the cultural competence of healthcare providers (HCPs) to maintain quality holistic care.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the cultural diversity experience, cultural competence behavior (CCB) and cultural awareness and sensitivity (CAS) of HCPs in a hospital setting of Saudi Arabia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving a survey of 104 HCPs from medical, nursing and laboratory technology disciplines that were taken based on a total sampling procedure. Data collection was conducted using the Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA) tool that measured cultural diversity experience, CCB, and CAS. Data analysis was performed and presented in descriptive statistics, and significant findings were computed using independent samples t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: The characteristics of the respondents resulted in mean age of 38.7±10.4 who were predominantly Asians and nurses. The majority had working experience of 10 years and below, with more than half who had prior diversity training. Reported cultural diversity experience included all HCPs caring for Arab Middle Easterners and Asians and encountering at least one or more special population groups. There was an overall high cultural competence (5.28±0.46), high CCB (5.84±0.56) but only moderately high CAS (4.72±0.35). Significant differences were only identified between CCB scores and three demographic variables (racial/ethnic identification, the area of discipline and years of experience). No significant result was found between CAS scores and demographic variables as well as between CCB and CAS scores.          Conclusion: Despite high CCB, the HCPs responded with lower CAS scores. Interventions should be initiated to increase CAS such as cultural diversity training and availability of cultural care resources.

Abstract

Background: Caring for a family member diagnosed with mental illness requires a holistic support system. However, some families experience the feeling of burden, loss, and stigma affecting the entire family structure. Therefore, exploring the studies on the family experiences of mental illness is crucial.Purpose: This meta-synthesis explored the available literature on the family experiences of mental illness.Methods: An initial comprehensive search was conducted in the following databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Ovid-based MEDLINE using the keywords like mental illness, mental disorder, family, family member, qualitative studies and phenomenology. A total of five qualitative studies and one thesis dissertation published between 2001-2016 that elicited views of family members on their experience of mental illness were reviewed. A thematic analysis was used to identify, analyze, and report patterns among the data, allowing for specific organization and description and interpretations.Results: Family empowerment emerged as the grand theme from the perceived effects of mental illness on the family, the process of coping and their perspectives on family empowerment grounded on family experiences.Conclusion: Despite caring for a family member diagnosed with mental illness imposes threats, it further offers openness, readiness, and acceptance that empower each family to appreciate, acknowledge, and affirm the wholeness of a family member with mental illness.

Abstract

Background: Stress among teachers has a significant relationship with the psychosomatic and depressive symptoms. Progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy is an intervention which can be implemented to reduce the level of stress among teachers.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy on decreasing the level of stress among teachers.Methods: This study employed a pre-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. The samples were 46 teachers recruited by purposive sampling and were evenly assigned to the intervention group and the control group. Progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy was given to the intervention group for four sessions in four days; each lasted for 20 minutes. The data were collected using the Teacher Stress Inventory and analyzed using the t-test to know the effects of the intervention.Results: The results showed that the mean of stress level among the teachers in the intervention group decreased from 50.65±3.761 to 32.78±8.426 after the intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, the mean of stress level slightly decreased from 49.87±3.348 to 49.17±4.868. The t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there were significant differences in the stress levels between the intervention and the control group.Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy reduced the level of stress among teachers. Based on the findings, it is recommended that community nurses promote this relaxation therapy to decrease the stress level among school teachers.

Abstract

Background: Due to the demanding nature of nurses’ work and the current shortage of nurses, hospital nurses often find themselves working extra shifts, extended hours, and taking on more responsibilities. However, this added pressure on the body and mind results in fatigue which adversely affects nurses' health status as well as their ability to provide optimal health care procedures. Preventing fatigue and reducing its adverse consequences require comprehensive awareness about its diverse contributing factors.Purpose: This study aimed to examine factors which influence fatigue among nurses employed in a hospital setting.Methods: An integrative review was conducted to assess the quality of the research evidence, to find minor and major gaps in current research and the main issues in the area of the research and finally to bridge the research gaps. This integrative review identified a total of 12 relevant research studies from Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and a manual search. Data were reviewed in May 2017, using an integrative review, and then interpreted, analyzed and synthesized to identify the key contributing factors that influence fatigue among hospital nurses.Results: The review revealed that significant factors such as organizational factors, nursing work characteristics, psychosocial factors as well as individual characteristics and demand, influenced the nurse fatigue. Work shifts, specifically night shifts and extended work shifts without sufficient inter-shift recovery were linked to higher levels of fatigue.Conclusion: This review identified the significant factors affecting fatigue among nurses in hospital settings in various countries all around the world. Findings from this study may help healthcare organizations and policymaker to introduce strategies that mitigate fatigue among nurses.

Abstract

Background: Antiretroviral therapy is a lifelong treatment in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Adherence is the key to the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy. The administration of antiretroviral has some side effects that may affect patient adherence.Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impacts of antiretroviral side effects on adherence in PLWHA.Methods: This study used a correlational research design. The samples were 78 patients receiving antiretroviral therapy at the tropical disease and infection polyclinic in a hospital in Semarang. Purposive sampling was used to recruit the samples. Data on side effects of antiretroviral were obtained based on the patients’ reports, while data on adherence of pill consumption were obtained through the calculation of pills using pill count adherence rate. The collected data were analyzed using the Fisher’s exact test.Results: Results showed that the side effects of antiretroviral therapy influenced the antiretroviral adherence (p<0.001). Most of the side effects of antiretroviral reported by participants were nausea and dizziness. Some participants also reported weakness, difficult to concentrate, and diarrhea.Conclusion: The side effects of antiretroviral had negative impacts on patients’ antiretroviral therapy adherence. Therefore, nurses and health care providers of PLWHA should be able to recognize and give concern on antiretroviral side effect management.
