Abstract

Ruptured cerebral aneurysm after surgery is a critical condition that necessitates vigilant monitoring and early detection of complications by staff nurses. Therefore, an appropriate level of skill and knowledge related to the management of patients undergoing surgery is crucial for nurses to support these patients. The current research aimed to examine KAP indicators (knowledge, attitude, and practice) among nurses in this context, making use of a cross-sectional study design involving the participation of 111 staff nurses selected randomly from one tertiary hospital located in the northeast of Thailand. The study was carried out during February – June 2024, making use of a survey to acquire demographic data along with a questionnaire to measure the KAP indicators. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient. The finding revealed that the overall KAP score on caring patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysm undergoing surgery was high. However, the correlation observed between knowledge/attitude/age/duration of experience for caring patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysm undergoing surgery and practice was shown to be both positive and significant (p<0.05). Therefore, nurse administrators should implement a comprehensive knowledge training system, enhance specialized training, and improve nursing practices for these patients. This will help to ensure that staff nurses achieve a high level of KAP in providing optimal care for these patients.

Abstract

Addressing the prevalence of anemia in female adolescents requires the active engagement of multiple sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the school-based weekly iron folate supplementation (WIFAS) program which may lead to an increased anemia prevalence in female adolescents. The role of community-based organizations in assisting preexisting programs is supposed to alleviate the prevalence effectively. This study aimed to analyze the role of a community-based organization (CBO) consisting of youth organizations and integrated services post cadres in a program to improve hemoglobin level in Sirnagalih Village, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. This pre-experimental study involved 89 female adolescents. After the intervention conducted by the CBO, significant differences were identified in the level of knowledge, attitudes, and hemoglobin (Hb) levels of female adolescents (p<0.05). The linear regression test obtained a statistical model equation related to female adolescents' Hb levels after being assisted by the CBO (R = 0.821, p = 0.000). The variable role of CBO, understanding media information, initial Hb level, adherence to consuming WIFAS, and habits to consume iron enhancer food of female adolescents can explain the Hb levels as much as 82%.

Abstract

The risk of falls, which is a significant contributor to mortality among the elderly population, is increasing due to declining balance and muscle strength. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study to examine the effects of traditional Thai E-sarn on balance and muscle strength in older women living in the community. The experimental or control group consisted of 35 people. The experimental group participated in a 12-week fitness regimen utilizing Thai E-sarn. The control group avoided participating in any type of physical activity. The experimental group exhibited notable enhancements in their balance, muscle strength, and health parameters as compared to the control group. In the experimental group, the timed up and go test (TUG) score was reduced by 1.91 seconds (95%CI: 0.67 to 3.16), p=0.003, while the 30-second chair stand test (30CST) increased by 3.15 (95%CI: 1.24 to 5.04), p<0.002. Systolic blood pressure dropped by 6.58 mmHg, diastolic by 5.57, and heart rate by 5.29 beats per minute. These findings suggest regular Thai E-sarn dance may improve balance, muscle strength, and all other parameters. Additional investigation is required to elucidate the impact of exercise on enhancing the general health of older adults.

Abstract

This study explores the synergistic effects of customized dietary strategies and aerobic exercise, specifically swimming, on achieving weight loss while preserving muscle mass in athletes. The research highlights the importance of a holistic approach to weight management, integrating personalized diet plans with tailored exercise regimens. The study segmented participants into two groups, one following a standard diet for weight maintenance and another adhering to a similar diet augmented by regular swimming sessions aimed at weight loss. Results indicate that the diet-plus-swimming group exhibited significantly greater reductions in weight and body mass index (BMI) compared to the diet-only group, suggesting that incorporating swimming enhances the effectiveness of dietary interventions. These findings emphasize the potential of combining physical activities such as swimming with dietary modifications to achieve optimal weight management outcomes, providing a comprehensive approach to athlete health management. The study also underscores the need for personalized strategies that consider individual characteristics and preferences to support sustainable weight loss and improved health outcomes.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains a significant global health issue, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates despite being a preventable and curable disease. The dynamics of TB transmission and the effects of treatment are critical to improving disease management. This study aims to analyze the global stability of a susceptible, exposed, infected, medicated (SEIM) model for TB transmission, incorporating the effects of medication and infection phases on disease progression. A deterministic SEIM model is proposed, dividing the population into four compartments: susceptible, exposed, infected, and medicated. The model accounts for treatment effects, including non-permanent immunity and the potential dormancy of MTB. Stability analysis was conducted using Lyapunov functions to evaluate equilibrium points, and the basic reproduction number (ℜ0) was derived to determine disease dynamics. The analysis reveals that when ℜ0 < 1, the system is globally asymptotically stable at the non-endemic equilibrium, indicating disease eradication. Conversely, when ℜ0 >1, the system converges to the endemic equilibrium, signifying sustained transmission within the population. These findings highlight the critical role of treatment and infection dynamics in controlling TB spread. The SEIM model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding TB transmission dynamics and emphasizes the importance of reducing (ℜ0) through effective public health interventions. Further research is recommended to validate the model with empirical data and explore its applicability in different epidemiological settings.

Abstract

Poverty has a significant impact on stunting in children under the age of five from low-income families, accounting for around 18.4% of stunting cases in Indonesia. The goal of this study was to look into the factors that may contribute to the prevalence of stunting among children under the age of five from low-income families in Indonesia. The study used a cross-sectional design and data from the 2022 Indonesian National Nutrition Status Survey to evaluate approximately 112,574 children. The data was analyzed at the multivariate level in binary logistics using SPSS 26 software. The data revealed that around 24.8% of disadvantaged households in Indonesia experienced stunting, with a variety of variables impacting its frequency. These included residence variables (AOR:1.08 and 95% CI:1.08-1.09), maternal age (AOR: 1.28 with 95% CI: 1.21-1.25), education level (AOR: 1.02 and 95% CI: 1.01-1.03), marital status (AOR:1.02 with 95% CI: 1.01-1.03), Antenatal Care (ANC) (AOR:1.45 with 95% CI: 1.44-1.47), age of the child (AOR:3.29 with 95% CI: 3.27-3.31), and the sex of the infant (AOR:3.29 with 95% CI: 3.27-3.21). Seven characteristics have been identified as predictors of stunting in children under the age of five in disadvantaged Indonesian homes. Expanding targeted programs for low-income families is critical for increasing their income through comprehensive entrepreneurship training and social assistance activities.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with physical activity among secondary boarding school students. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that captured socio-demographic information, physical activity levels, sedentary behavior, social support (from family and peers), and psychological factors (depression, anxiety, and stress). Anthropometric measurements, including height and weight, were obtained using a SECA217 stadiometer and a Tanita weighing scale, with body mass index (BMI)-for-age subsequently calculated. A total of 181 participants were included in the study. The results indicated that the majority of students met the recommended physical activity guidelines. Approximately two-thirds of participants were classified as having a normal BMI, while the majority exhibited high levels of sedentary behavior. Regarding social support, only one-fifth of students reported receiving adequate family support, while half of the students reported adequate peer support. Psychological assessments revealed that one-third of participants exhibited normal depressive symptoms, whereas nearly half exhibited symptoms of anxiety and stress. Significant associations were identified between physical activity levels and several factors, including age, gender, family support, peer support, and stress. In conclusion, while most secondary boarding school students in this study met the recommended daily amount of physical activity, high levels of sedentary behavior and varying levels of social support and psychological distress highlight areas that warrant further intervention.

Abstract

Post-stroke depression (PSD) significantly impacts the lives of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) survivors, yet tailored support systems and management preferences remain under-researched, particularly in specific healthcare settings. This study assessed the experience of depressive symptoms among CVA survivors, the support systems available to them, and their preferred management methods at the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly (LEKMA) Hospital in Ghana. Utilizing the descriptive case study design, 50 CVA patients were surveyed using a self-structured questionnaire and the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD R-20). Data were analyzed with Microsoft Excel and STATA version 17. Chi-square test of association was used to measure the severity of depression and specific demographic groups. Results indicated a high prevalence of depression (86%), with 10% experiencing moderate and 76% severe depression. Marital status significantly correlated with post-stroke depression (PSD) severity. Primary support sources included spouses/partners and children, providing various forms of support such as physical assistance, emotional well-being, and financial aid. Preferred management options were pharmacology and psychotherapy, driven by the desire for quick symptom relief and concerns over medication side effects and costs. These findings highlight the critical need for enhanced support systems and responsive management strategies to include depression for CVA survivors.

Abstract

Previous studies on factors associated with physical activity among adolescents in Ho Chi Minh City have lacked a specific framework. This study aimed to assess factors associated with moderate and vigorous physical activity time among Ho Chi Minh City’s adolescents. We used the Health Belief Model to develop a more comprehensive survey. This cross sectional study, conducted from January to May 2023, analyzed data from 301 students. Variables were measured using a self-management questionnaire with three sections: socioeconomics, physical activity, and the Health Belief Model. This study found that adolescents spent an average of 54.7 minutes per day engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity. This duration was independently associated with convenience (Coefficient = 5.49; p = 0.002), self-efficacy (Coefficient = 5.63; p<0.001), having an exercise companion (Coefficient = 16.98; p<0.001), and the perception that more than 60 minutes of daily activity is needed (Coefficient = 16.82; p<0.001). The Health Belief Model has the potential to explain the time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity among adolescents in Ho Chi Minh City. Self-efficacy, convenience, companionship, and perceptions of appropriate physical activity duration should be considered when developing intervention programs.

Abstract

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a growing concern among adolescents. This study examines the impact of different parenting styles on IGD, focusing on the mediating role of psychological need satisfaction. Using a cross-sectional correlational design with mediation analysis, this research investigates indirect effects to understand how parenting styles influence IGD. The study involved 300 participants and analyzed three main parenting styles: authoritative (firm but supportive), authoritarian (strict and controlling), and permissive (lenient). Findings indicate that authoritative parenting reduces IGD by supporting the fulfillment of basic psychological needs, such as autonomy, competence, and connection, as outlined in self-determination theory (SDT). Conversely, authoritarian parenting is associated with higher IGD, as it restricts these psychological needs in real life, leading adolescents to seek fulfillment through excessive gaming, particularly in genres like battle royale. permissive parenting did not show a significant effect on IGD. Additionally, the study revealed that boys are more likely than girls to exhibit higher IGD and find greater psychological need satisfaction in gaming. These results highlight the importance of parenting styles and psychological needs in understanding IGD among adolescents.
