Abstract

Background: Death is a common occurrence in nursing practice, and nurses are expected to provide professional and sensitive care to families, which can be psychologically demanding. However, there is a paucity of studies describing the experiences of nurses dealing with pediatric end-of-life (EOL) care and death.Purpose: This study explored nurses’ lived experiences following EOL care among pediatric nurses working in two selected hospitals in Nigeria.Methods: A hermeneutic qualitative design was adopted to describe and interpret participants’ experiences. Twenty-one nurses were purposively selected from pediatric wards. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using ATLAS.ti with thematic analysis.Results: Five themes emerged: (1) EOL care training during nursing education, (2) experiences of EOL care as a practicing nurse, (3) perceived contributing factors to child death, (4) nurses’ roles in supporting families after child loss, and (5) coping strategies for managing grief after pediatric patient death. The findings revealed that nurses are affected by the death of a child regardless of years of experience. Limited knowledge of EOL care negatively influenced their coping abilities. Nurses considered open grieving unprofessional, with the primary coping strategy being increased commitment to work.Conclusion: The study concluded that years of work experience do not significantly influence nurses’ lived experiences of pediatric patient death. Limited knowledge of EOL care strongly shapes their perspectives on death, dying, and grieving. Grieving is perceived as unprofessional, while dedication to work serves as the preferred coping mechanism. Mandatory training on EOL nursing care and the provision of institutional guidelines are recommended.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section (CS) delivery should only be performed with medical indications. It is important to analyze the socioeconomic role in CS and determine how to address socioeconomic-related factors in optimizing CS coverage in the Philippines using the latest national data.Purpose: This study analyzed the socioeconomic roles in CS delivery in the Philippines.Methods: This study used secondary data from the 2022 Philippines National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The cross-sectional study included 4,452 women aged 15–49 who had given birth within the previous three years. Seven control factors were examined: employment, antenatal care (ANC), age, education, marital status, residence, and parity. The mode of delivery was considered the outcome variable, while socioeconomic status was the exposure variable. Binary logistic regression was used for the final data analysis.Results: Cesarean section was performed in 18.45% of deliveries in the Philippines. Analysis of socioeconomic status showed that women in the “poorer” group were 1.758 times more likely than the poorest to undergo CS (AOR 1.758; 95% CI 1.757–1.758). Women in the middle-income group were 2.164 times more likely than the poorest to have a CS (AOR 2.164; 95% CI 2.163–2.165). Those in the richer group were 2.718 times more likely (AOR 2.718; 95% CI 2.717–2.719), and the richest were 4.787 times more likely to deliver by CS compared to the poorest (AOR 4.787; 95% CI 4.785–4.789).Conclusion: Socioeconomic disparities are strongly associated with CS delivery in the Philippines. The wealthier the mother, the more likely she is to have a CS. Efforts should focus on reducing unnecessary CS in the rich and richest groups. Optimizing ANC education should include addressing psychological needs, promoting positive values, and providing a sense of security and comfort in normal childbirth. At the same time, equitable access to CS should be ensured for the poorest groups through education and insurance coverage.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is critical for adolescents’ health and well-being; however, challenges such as limited water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, stigma, and lack of education persist in low- and middle-income countries. In Indonesia, most studies have focused on knowledge and attitudes rather than the determinants of practices, leaving this area underexplored.Purpose: This study aimed to identify the determinants of menstrual hygiene management practices among adolescents.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted online with 365 females aged 12 to 24 years using purposive sampling. Data collection tools included the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and demographic questionnaires. Associations were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson correlation, and linear regression.Results: Bivariate analysis showed that higher MHM scores were significantly associated with older age, older age at menarche, higher education level, longer menstrual cycles, employment, higher family income, and urban residence. In contrast, a history of dysmenorrhea was negatively associated with MHM scores. Linear regression analysis revealed that menstrual cycle length was a significant positive predictor of MHM, while a history of dysmenorrhea was a significant negative predictor.Conclusion: Menstrual hygiene management was generally good among adolescents. Significant determinants included menstrual cycle length and history of dysmenorrhea. These findings underscore the importance of addressing biological and physiological factors in menstrual health education. Public health programs should integrate menstrual cycle education and dysmenorrhea management strategies to improve hygiene practices.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health (MCH) is crucial for public health, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Indonesia. Despite improvements in healthcare infrastructure, challenges remain in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality rates, with low birth weight (LBW) posing a significant concern. Previous research has largely examined individual factors, such as maternal age, parity, or nutritional status, in isolation. To date, there has been no comprehensive analysis integrating the various determinants of LBW within the Indonesian context.Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively analyze factors associated with LBW incidence in Indonesia to inform sustainable MCH strategies.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to analyze data from 420 newborns and their mothers. A structured questionnaire and medical record reviews were used to collect data on maternal characteristics, antenatal care attendance, birth outcomes, and infant characteristics. Data were obtained from maternal and child health reports collected by primary health centers and hospitals under the Ministry of Health between 2021 and 2023. Statistical analyses, including bivariate Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression, were conducted to identify factors associated with LBW incidence.Results: The prevalence of LBW among newborns was 34.3%. Significant associations were found between LBW and maternal anemia (OR = 1.53; 95% CI = 1.16–2.03), irregular antenatal care attendance (OR 11.9; 95% CI 8.17–17.32), multiparity (OR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.43–0.88), and preterm birth (OR = 11.22; 95% CI = 7.55–16.68). Primiparous mothers and full-term infants were less likely to experience LBW. Among the associated factors, irregular antenatal care visits and preterm birth emerged as the most dominant risk factors. No significant associations were observed with maternal complications, chronic diseases, infant gender, mode of delivery, or maternal age.Conclusion: Targeted interventions addressing maternal anemia, improving access to and adherence with antenatal care, and preventing preterm births are critical strategies for reducing LBW in Indonesia. The findings in this study underscore the need to improve maternal nutrition and encourage pregnant women to attend regular antenatal care visits.

Abstract

Background: The number of older adults with dementia in Indonesia continues to increase. However, many family caregivers still have limited knowledge and skills, leading to adverse effects on both the older adults and the caregivers themselves. Existing interventions mainly focus on single aspects of care and have not adequately addressed the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive intervention model that holistically meets caregivers’ needs.Purpose: This study aimed to develop a home-based holistic dementia nursing intervention model for family caregivers and identify its key features.Methods: Three approaches were used for model development: (1) literature review, (2) in-depth interviews, and (3) expert validation. Five articles addressing holistic care dimensions and nursing interventions were included in the review. Fifteen participants took part in the in-depth interviews, while expert validation involved three specialists in the geriatric field with specific qualifications. Data were collected between August and September 2022. Analysis was conducted by comparing and synthesizing the findings from the literature review, interviews, and expert validation.Results: The holistic dementia nursing intervention model for family caregivers consisted of four intervention domains: (1) physical, (2) psychological, (3) social, and (4) spiritual. The model also incorporated three key components: (1) communication processes, (2) organizational processes, and (3) belief systems.Conclusion: The home-based holistic dementia nursing intervention model for family caregivers offers a potential conceptual framework to comprehensively address the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of both older adults and their caregivers.

Abstract

Background: The spiritual significance of Tahajjud (Islamic voluntary night prayer) is well established; however, its association with physiological markers, such as body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure (BP), particularly in relation to gender, remains underexplored.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association between Tahajjud prayer and anthropometric and BP parameters in young adults by comparing Tahajjud and non-Tahajjud groups, as well as regular and irregular Tahajjud practice, with attention to gender differences.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 462 Muslim participants (206 men, 256 women) aged 18–22 years. Data on demographics, religious practices, and Tahajjud frequency were collected through questionnaires. Participants were categorized into Tahajjud and non-Tahajjud groups; those who performed Tahajjud were further classified as regular (≥3 times/week) or irregular (<3 times/week). BP was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer, BW with a digital scale, and height with a digital stadiometer. Comparisons of BW, BMI, and BP were made across Tahajjud and non-Tahajjud groups, regular and irregular Tahajjud practitioners, and by gender. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and t-tests at a 95% confidence level (p<0.05).Results: The prevalence of Tahajjud practice was higher among women than men, both overall (70.71% vs. 66.51%) and for regular practice (32.04% vs. 13.86%), with a significant gender difference in regular Tahajjud (p=0.001). No significant gender-specific differences in BW or BMI were observed between Tahajjud and non-Tahajjud groups. Among women, systolic BP was significantly lower in the Tahajjud group (p=0.001). Regular Tahajjud practice was associated with lower BW and BMI in both women (p<0.005) and men (p<0.05). Although systolic and diastolic BP were lower among regular Tahajjud practitioners, differences were not statistically significant. Irregular Tahajjud was associated with a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity (p=0.016).Conclusions: Regular Tahajjud practice was associated with lower BW, BMI, and modest reductions in BP, suggesting a potential role in obesity prevention and cardiovascular health. Nurses can incorporate culturally relevant practices, such as Tahajjud, into health education and lifestyle counseling programs.

Abstract

Background: A health-promoting lifestyle serves as the foundation for healthy living and is highly relevant to nursing students, who are expected to model such behaviors as future healthcare providers. However, few studies have examined these patterns among nursing students in regions such as Hail, Saudi Arabia.Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the health-promoting lifestyle behaviors of nursing students and their correlations with demographic factors.Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design was employed. A total of 263 male and female participants provided demographic information and completed the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) questionnaire through convenience sampling. Independent-samples t-tests were used to compare HPLP scores by gender, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare scores across year levels, and Pearson’s correlation was applied to examine associations between HPLP scores and selected demographic variables, including year level, GPA, family income, and BMI.Results: The overall health-promoting lifestyle behavior was classified as good (M=142.88, SD=28.77). No significant differences were observed across gender or year level for any HPLP subdomains. GPA was positively correlated with health-promoting behaviors (r=0.34, p<0.001), whereas family monthly income was negatively correlated (r=–0.15, p=0.01). BMI and year level were not significantly associated with HPLP scores.Conclusion: Nursing students demonstrated generally good health-promoting behaviors. Higher academic performance was linked to more frequent engagement in such behaviors, whereas students from higher-income families displayed slightly lower engagement. These findings highlight the importance of culturally and contextually tailored interventions to support nursing students in adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles.
