Abstract

Background: Falls in the hospital have become an important issue internationally with numerous studies and assessment tools developed with a focus mainly on elderly adults. However, little has been written about falls in children in the hospital, which reveals evidence that falls and the sequels are significant problems.Purpose: This study aimed to develop a culturally-based instrument for paediatric falls prevention.Methods: In this action research study, participants, in this case, clinical nurses, joined the researcher in progressive problem-solving in two phases, starting with composing tool items based on the previous tools and research, then conducting validity and reliability tests. The instrument, the Paediatric Risk of Falls (PROF) Scale, was developed based on a literature review, contemporary models and the local context, and its content validity. In phase two, the staff of one local hospital participated in an education programme in the use of the tool, then were involved in the screening of all falls within two months on 156 paediatric patients in the paediatric ward in a local hospital in Indonesia. Data were analysed to examine the validity and reliability of the PROF Scale using Pearson Product Moment and Cronbach's alpha coefficients.Results: Two of nine items related to medication and surgery were judged as not valid, possibly because of study parameters and technical problems in completing the items. One item on parental involvement, which was developed based on cultural practice in Central Java, was judged as a valid item. All items demonstrated acceptable reliability statistics.Conclusion: The PROF Scale demonstrates satisfactory validity and reliability as a scale for assessing falls in pediatric settings in an Indonesian context, but needs to be tested in other settings to further test validity and reliability as well as its application and acceptability.

Abstract

Background: The peripheral neuropathy is the cause of hospitalization for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and damages kidney function due to the circulatory system with high sugar levels. High sugar levels in DM patients with diabetic wounds can trigger glomerular damage resulting in the decrease of kidney function.Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the degree of diabetic wounds and kidney functions in patients with DM.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 723 DM patients who experienced diabetic wounds in a hospital in Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit the samples. The data of this study were medical records of diabetic patients. A simple linear regression test was employed to analyze the data.Results: The result showed that the degree of diabetic wound was significantly related to kidney function damage (p=0.000). The relationship between the degree of diabetic wounds and the decline in kidney function was shown by an R-squared value of 0.768, meaning that the degree of diabetic wound affected the decline of kidney function by 76.8%, while the 23.2% was affected by other factors.Conclusion:The degree of diabetic injury affects the decline of kidney function in DM patients by 76.8%. Nurses should do health promotion about controlling blood sugar levels in DM patients with the prevention of four pillars of diabetes, including education, nutrition, physical activity, and stress.
