Abstract

Living in a world of unstable and fluctuating economy has put children’s development at risk particularly children from low-income families. Hence their development should be on alert. The concern regarding online learning is crucial towards children’s emotional development as it can positively or negatively affect them. In the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), no other performance is relevant due to high-speed change. Children as young generations today have more disruptive behaviours causing adults to be fearful in dealing with their unruly behaviour. This study discovered the impact of the current environmental situation of uncertainty and parent-child relationship on children’s emotional development. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and preventive measures, the study was conducted with parents’ consent using an online survey tool administered using Google Form. The quantitative survey comprised general population-CORE (GP-CORE) and perceived stress scale (PSS) questionnaires from 108 respondents studying in primary schools around urban areas in Selangor, Malaysia. The findings were analysed and described descriptively. Findings showed that children are greatly affected by parents’ job loss and low-income households’ instability, causing emotional stress when learning from home. Therefore, the study can be the mechanism to aid the educational system in emphasising emotional learning in school.

Abstract

Pesticides are essential substances that is economical, labor saving and efficient tool among the farmers with significant importance in increasing food production and pest management in developing countries. Although, the serious concern about the health risk of pesticide toxicity should be investigated. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge & perception of health risks of pesticide usage among farmers. This online-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among farmers in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu. A validated questionnaire was prepared in two languages for convenience, assessing the sociodemographic and analyzing the level of awareness, perception of pesticide usage among farmers. About 412 farmers participated, in which 98.5% use pesticides and 64.5% were males. Among them, 72.4% of farmers do not use personal protective equipment (PPE) while applying pesticides, 75.5% dispose and 24.5% of farmers re-use the empty pesticide bottle. Also, 68 % are not aware of the harmful effects of pesticides even though 94.5% experienced health related problems while using them. Therefore, 95.4% of farmers think it is necessary to create awareness about safe handling practice and health risks regarding the usage of pesticides. Our study reveals that farmers do not have adequate knowledge about safe pesticide handling and are not aware of pesticide toxicity levels along with the risk associated with the degree of toxicity which is essential for implementing strategies regarding pesticide safety education and training.

Abstract

Personal, academic and clinical factors are the main stressors for nursing undergraduates. This study aimed to assess stress, resilience and associated factors among nursing undergraduates. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing undergraduates at one university in Sri Lanka. A self-administered questionnaire including demographics, Perceived Stress Scale and Resilience Scale for Adults was used. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-test, ONE WAY ANOVA and binary logistic regression model. This study found that 38% of undergraduates had a high level of stress and the majority had a moderate level of resilience (76.7%). The mean total resilience score (RS) was 102.4 (±5.53). “Not getting expected marks” adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 5.56, 95 % CI=1.37-22.6) and “not satisfied with the academic program” (AOR 4.87, 95 % CI=1.27-8.76) were found to be the factors for having a high-stress score. Statistically significant median RS differences were observed: “Perception of Self” with grade point average (p=0.02) and recreational activities (p=0.04), and “Perception of future” with gender (p=0.04), the physical well-being (p=0.03) and recreational activities (p=0.04) and “Structural style” with the academic year (p=0.03). Influencing factors on stress and resilience need to be taken into account for organising academic programs for nursing undergraduates.

Abstract

Pregnant women have a higher risk of serious illness during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This raises concerns about COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. Other than COVID-19, pregnant women are also a high-risk group for influenza infection. Influenza vaccination is used to prevent coinfection with COVID-19. Thus, this study examined the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women based on factors of worry about COVID-19 infection and a history of influenza vaccination. This study was a systematic review that assessed cross-sectional articles of the year 2020-2021 from the Pubmed, Science Direct, and Medrxiv databases with narrative analysis. There were three articles that met the criteria. The three articles showed significant relationships between concerns of being infected with COVID-19 and receiving COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in pregnant women, while a significant relationships between a history of influenza vaccination and accepting COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women were only found in two articles. Compared to the history of influenza vaccination, the concerns of being infected with COVID-19 in pregnant women were significantly more related to accepting COVID-19 vaccination, so it can be the focus of intervention to increase the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women.

Abstract

Physical activity is an important strategy for the management of diabetes type 2 mellitus. However, this recommendation is related to physical barriers. Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients showed lower scores in energy use, number of steps and duration of physical activity compared to healthy individuals. This study aimed to identify factors that affected physical activity among diabetes type 2 patients. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This study was conducted in Kabupaten Tuban, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 105 diabetes type 2 patients followed the program Prolanis from the community health center. Data was collected using paper-based questionnaires, which were aslked the demographic characteristics, knowledge about physical activity, diabetes management self-efficacy, and international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) during March to October, 2020. Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the factors that affected physical activity of diabetes type 2 patients. This study found that complication, knowledge and self-efficacy have significantly affected physical activity among diabetes type 2 patients. This information is beneficial to develop nursing care interventions and approaches to increase the physical activity of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Suicide ideation or suicidal thought has been reported to be one of the major mental wellbeing issues among university students following the increase of the depressive symptoms. The implication of social distancing in the form of lockdown did not help to reduce the aforementioned cases. While we know that reducing depressive symptoms among university students might be almost impossible to be done without any drastic change to the educational system, we would like to investigate whether the sense of mattering to the university might moderate the development of suicide ideation when the students have developed depressive symptoms. We recruited 435 university students and had they voluntarily responded to the Beck’s depression inventory, satisfaction with life scale, societal mattering scale, and the suicidal ideation attributes scale. The data was analyzed by bias-free bootstrap analysis with 5,000 samplings and 95% confidence interval in PROCESS Macro model 59 and model 1, and the results reported that high university mattering levels might moderate the link between depression symptoms and suicide ideation through life satisfaction. In other words, in the situation where the students were locked-down, the chance of develop depression and the idea to end their own life tend to be higher. However, the more they believe that they matter to their university as a society, the less they will develop depression symptoms and the suicide ideation.

Abstract

The effect of maintaining mental wellbeing by conducting prosocial behavior has been established for quite some time and is supported by many theories. Nevertheless, prosocial behavior might not easily be done by individuals with negative feelings due to certain emotional burdens. The current study examined the mediating effect of appreciative joy in the relationship between nostalgia and prosocial behavior. There were 123 undergraduate students with an average age of 21.2 years old recruited from a Malaysian private university using the purposive sampling method. Employing an experimental single-factor independent design; the experiment was conducted online. Multiple regression analysis showed that only the relationship between appreciative joy and prosocial behavior is statistically significant in this study, without being mediated by appreciative joy. In conclusion, nostalgia did not significantly inflict any appreciative joy that eventually drove people to conduct any prosocial behavior. Further implications and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

Motherhood plays a vital role in society. It greatly influences the personality and disposition of a child. Teenage pregnancy is one of the major international social issues; nonetheless, the available literature seemed to address this issue quite indecorously. Thus, this study intended to identify the dynamics and causes of teenage pregnancy based on the context of those who experienced it. This study mainly focused on the personal health risk experiences, struggles, and coping of teenage pregnancy. A semi-structured in-depth interview with 35 teenage mothers was conducted. The researchers carefully transcribed the conversations, then read and re-read, then summarized the musings and verbalizations of the participants. A descriptive Phenomenological approach was utilized to analyze the data. Then, the missing psyche, unwanted, social judgment, embrace (MUSE) Phase of Teenage Pregnancy emerged. This was validated using “critical-friend and correspondence technique”. Each phase reflects the onset, coping and struggles on becoming a teenage mother from conception to rearing the child. The discussion poses a unique perspective on understanding the phases of teenage pregnancy coming from the point of view of those who experienced it, which is vital in making efforts to prevention and intervention.
