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: The first step in effectively applying novel teaching methods is identifying barriers and challenges to implementing appropriate interventions. A literature review revealed no studies exploring nursing instructors’ viewpoints on the reasons for not using novel teaching methods.Purpose: The present study aimed to explore the challenges and executive barriers against using novel approaches in instructing nursing students from the perspective of nursing instructors. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 163 nursing instructors from three nursing schools in Fars Province, Southwest Iran, were selected using convenience sampling. A researcher-developed questionnaire comprising 17 items scored on a five-point Likert scale was utilized to collect data. These items were categorized into three domains: challenges related to students (n=4), instructors (n=8), and structural-managerial aspects (n=5). The questionnaire’s reliability coefficient was found to be 0.89 using the test-retest method. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to test the normality of variables and the independent t-test was employed to examine the relationship between genders and educational degrees across all three domains. Results: The mean scores for challenges and barriers related to the instructors, students, and structural-managerial aspects were 33.24(7.16), 16.31(3.93), and 22.14(3.64), respectively. A significant relationship between gender and educational degree was observed across all three domains (p<0.001).Conclusion: The barriers and challenges against using novel teaching methods for nursing students from the perspective of nursing instructors included challenges related to instructors, students, and structural-managerial aspects. The support and encouragement of educational institution managers in executing these methods could help promote the utilization of these techniques and improve the quality of education.

Abstract

Background: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can have a notable impact on the psychological and physical well-being of individuals, which in turn affects the management of the condition. Men and women experiencing stress and adopting distinct coping strategies. However, research focusing specifically on T2DM in men is still limited.Purpose: The present study intends to investigate the distress and coping strategies adopted by male T2DM outpatients in Malang, East Java, Indonesia.Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design and conducted in-depth interviews to 24 male T2DM outpatients. The interview guidelines were formulated using the Indonesian version of the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS17) questionnaire, which comprised four domains: physician distress, emotional burden, regimen distress, and interpersonal distress. A thematic analysis was performed to analyze the results gathered during the research and compile them into a final report.Results: The study revealed that individuals diagnosed with T2DM experienced a range of emotional and practical difficulties, including feelings of fear, anxiety, and a lack of understanding. Disease burden, a lack of understanding of both diabetes and healthcare services, difficulties managing their diet, routine medication, financial concerns, and fatigue also contributed to the distress. To cope with distress, the informants identified eight distinct coping strategies. Of these, the most effective strategy was receiving support from family members, followed by acceptance, self management, positive attitude, understanding of their illness, joining the diabetes community, spirituality, and getting more information about T2DM.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that men experience eight distinct types of stress and utilise comparable coping strategies associated with T2DM. Emotional distress represents the predominant pressure, while family support constitutes the primary coping strategy. These results are important for nurses and other healthcare professionals in supporting patients.

Abstract

Background: The largest portion of migrant labor in Thailand originates from Myanmar, with almost half consisting of female workers. Most female migrant workers (MWs) are of reproductive age and often experience physical illnesses, including pregnancy and childbirth. Although access to prenatal care and delivery services for Myanmar MWs has been previously studied, their challenges in accessing other reproductive health services (HSs) have not yet been explored.Purpose: This study aimed to explore problems in accessing health services experienced by women of reproductive age (WRA) who were members of the Myanmar migrant workforce in Thailand.Methods: The present study employed a qualitative research design. The samples consisted of 20 informants aged 18-49 years old, who were Myanmar WRA working as migrant laborers for more than one year. They were subdivided into two groups: 10 participants provided information through in-depth interviews, and the other 10 participated in focus group discussions, with each group comprising 5 individuals. The researchers selected informants using criterion sampling. Data analysis utilized the Diekelmann and Allen method.Results: The findings revealed two general themes, including care ineligibility and problems in accessing health services. The six major issues among Myanmar WRA include inability to purchase or renew health insurance cards (HICs), HIC or social security wage deduction avoidance, communication issues, hospital inexperience, the transit fare, and admission refusal.Conclusion: Despite available health services, migrant women from Myanmar encounter barriers such as inability to purchase health insurance cards, wage deduction concerns, communication issues, hospital unfamiliarity, transportation expenses, and admission refusal. Addressing these barriers through policy interventions and support mechanisms is crucial for enhancing healthcare access.

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: The intricate caregiving responsibilities undertaken by family caregivers in the care of patients with chronic diseases induce stress, potentially reducing the family’s ability to provide effective care. In instances where family caregivers of patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unable to employ effective coping mechanisms, there exists the potential for an adverse impact on the patient’s quality of life. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family coping strategies and the quality of life of patients with T2DM undergoing treatment in primary health care in Malang, Indonesia. Additionally, it sought to investigate the influence of demographic factors on both family coping strategies and the quality of life of these patients.Methods: The study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The participants included 327 individuals with T2DM and 327 family caregivers, selected from 16 primary healthcare centers using cluster random sampling techniques. Data were collected using the COPE Brief questionnaire to assess coping strategies and the DQOL (Diabetes Quality of Life) questionnaire to measure the quality of life. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank test and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The findings of the study revealed that a majority of family caregivers employed adaptive coping strategies (93.9%), while a significant proportion of individuals with T2DM reported having a good quality of life (84.1%). The analysis demonstrated a positive relationship between family coping strategies and the quality of life among T2DM patients. Specifically, better family coping strategy was associated with higher quality of life in T2DM patients (p=0.000; r=0.447; α=0.05). Also, a comprehensive demographic analysis revealed that education significantly influences both the variables of family coping strategies and patient quality of life, with odds ratios of 1.284 and 1.561, respectively.Conclusion: The research findings emphasize the mutual influence between family coping strategies and quality of life of T2DM patients. Nurses should prioritize attention to demographic factors such as education, age, gender, and duration of diabetes to enhance family coping strategies and improve the patients’ quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Although previous studies focusing on nurses’ perceptions of caring for people living with HIV (PLHIV) have been conducted in numerous countries, little is known about first-year student nurses’ perceptions and experiences regarding their role in caring for PLHIV in South Africa. To ensure quality care for PLHIV, it is essential to explore first-year student nurses’ roles in caring for PLHIV.Purpose: This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of first-year nursing students on their role in caring for PLHIV in South Africa.Methods: A qualitative exploratory descriptive design was employed for this study, utilizing a purposive sampling method to recruit 18 participants. These participants were first-year nursing students aged 18 or older, enrolled in a 4-year bachelor’s degree nursing program, and who had completed clinical placements in hospitals. Data collection involved two focus group discussions (FGDs), one comprising eight participants and the other ten participants. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the collected data.Results: Four main themes were drawn from two FGDs, including (1) students’ unpreparedness in their role to care for PLHIV, (2) disclosure practices and student safety concerns, (3) personal backgrounds and attitudes towards PLHIV care, and (4) physical and psychological wellbeing of students while caring for PLHIV. Furthermore, 11 sub-themes were subsequently drawn from these main themes. Thematic sub-themes and individual focus group responses were relied on to reach data saturation despite the small number of FGD sessions.Conclusion: First-year nursing students had negative and positive perceptions and experiences when caring for PLHIV. There is a need for these students to acquire adequate theoretical knowledge and practical skills to enhance clinical preparation for their role in clinical facilities. This could improve their perceptions regarding caring for PLHIV in the clinical setting and result in improved care.
