Abstract

The study aimed to explore the role of interpersonal relationship and self-acceptance as potential moderator of the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health of college students in China. The online survey platform “Questionnaire Star” was conducted among 367 undergraduates. The questionnaires of self-rated health measurement scale, emotional intelligence scale, interpersonal relationship assessment scale, and self-acceptance questionnaire was used for questionnaire survey and analysis. The self-rated health status was positively correlated with emotional intelligence and self-acceptance (r=0.541, 0.598, p<0.01), and negatively correlated with interpersonal relationships (r=-0.609, p<0.01). Further analysis using multivariate regression found that the interaction between emotional intelligence, interpersonal relationship and self-acceptance is statistically significant (β=-0.02, p<0.05), with the independent effect on health status is 0.7% (ΔR2=0.006), and the negative effect of interpersonal relationship was the biggest (β=-2.691). Conclusion This study highlighted the psychological protection ability of self-rated health, which is influenced by interpersonal relationship, self-acceptance and emotional intelligence. Interpersonal relationship is the main factor that affects the emotional intelligence on self-rated health. Under the same conditions of emotional intelligence and self-acceptance, college students with good interpersonal relationship have better self-measured health status.

Abstract

Nurses being an integral part of the health care system should have sufficient awareness on contraceptives since unplanned pregnancies have rapidly emerged as a social issue that severely deteriorates the quality of life of parents and children. The objective of the study was to assess the awareness on contraceptive safety, efficacy and side effects among nursing undergraduates at KAATSU International University (KIU). A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 362 undergraduate nurses studying at KIU, higher education institute of Sri Lanka using convenient sampling method. The data was collected using pre-tested questionnaire and data was analyzed using descriptive statistic and Pearson Chi square test. The questionnaire consisted with four parts; demographic variables, safety, efficacy and side effects related questions. Out of total, 74.6% of the participants had an average knowledge regarding different type of female contraceptives and 74.5% had average knowledge regarding major side effects of female contraceptives. When the knowledge regarding efficacy of different contraceptive methods was found to be only 37% related to female condom. Overall findings of the study reflect that majority of the nurses had average knowledge regarding safety and major side effects of female contraceptive methods and a poor knowledge was identified regarding the efficacy of female contraceptive methods among undergraduate nurses.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed the daily living of people, especially those with chronic diseases. This study aimed to review the recent evidences on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic towards patients living with chronic diseases. The database and search engines used for this literature review are PubMed and Google Scholar. Abstracts were reviewed for relevance to the topic and a total of 17 articles were deemed pertinent to be summarised. Cancellation or postponement of medical consultations or procedures for chronic diseases was reported. Patients with chronic diseases also suffer worsening mental health. COVID-19 has also impacted the lifestyle of patients with chronic diseases due to reduced opportunity to go outdoors, inaccessible to fresh food, and disrupted sleep. Some pharmaceutical manufacturers shifted their focus to producing medical equipment and pharmaceutical preparations to fight against COVID-19. Difficulties in medication distributions owing to lockdown measures had been reported, as well as shortage of healthcare resources in delivering care for chronic diseases. A relationship between COVID-19 pandemic and worsening of chronic diseases was also reported. Evidence-based strategies are needed to better direct the management of chronic diseases during this unprecedented time and beyond, such as the use of telehealth and education on self-management of chronic diseases.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global outbreak that also changes the generation of medical waste in hospital. The increasing number of people infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) virus indirectly requires the management of infectious waste from patients to be safe and not have the potential to spread. The purpose of this study was to analyze the medical waste management in a hospital located in Jakarta City, Indonesia. This study employed direct observation and used secondary data in the analysis. Meanwhile, to determine the effect of the population infected with SARS-Cov-2 on medical generation, One Way ANOVA analysis was used. Data from May, 2020 showed that medical waste generation increased from 25.6 kg/month to 192.3 kg/month. The ANOVA significance test showed a value of 0.013; this indicates that the number of the infected population significantly affects the generation of medical waste. Medical waste that found during a pandemic becomes more complex, including hazmat clothes, masks, gloves, medical headgear, used bandages, injection and infusion equipment, eating and drinking utensils for patients exposed to COVID-19, and used swab and rapid test equipment.

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the self-care practices of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients managed in an urban hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. An observational cross-sectional study was performed. The adherence of self-care practices was measured by using the Condition-specific Recommendations and Adherence scale. Among 165 T2DM patients, nobody adhered to all self-care practices. The average number of adhered behavioral recommendations was 6.0 (SD=1.6). Gender, education and overweight/obesity were associated with self-care practice adherence. Repeated educational sessions should be provided to patients, especially male patients, and those with low education levels, overweight/obese, to improve their self-care ability.

Abstract

The sense of empowerment had always been reported as contingent upon resilience, the sense of financial security, and perceived social support (PSS). In the context of the Malaysian urban population, the outbreak shifted social dynamics through the enforcement of movement control order (MCO), a partial-to-full lockdown policy enforced by the government to curb the virus. Studies in the local context suggested that the implementation of MCO led to a sense of uncertainty towards social support and financial security among the population, as well as the decline of resilience and the sense of mattering. This sparked a question, whether the significance of PSS, resilience, mattering, and income levels are still significant in predicting the sense of empowerment among our population. Through open social media pages, 405 adults between 18 and 62 years of age (M=25.44) living in urban areas of Malaysia to respond to the scales of empowerment, resilience, PSS, and mattering with some financial compensation in the form of e-wallet credits. Our findings suggested that PSS was no longer a significant predictor of empowerment after controlling for resilience, mattering, and income, which was opposed to other predictors in the equation that were still significant even after controlling for each other. Further relationships among the variables, implications and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

Globally, around 10-15% of adults aged 21 to 50 years and around 30% of the elderly are diagnosed with severe periodontitis. About 20-50% of the population is affected with periodontal disease. However, there is a lack of actual national data in the UAE on oral health and periodontal health status. To determine the periodontal health status among the Emirati population aged 18 to 65 years. Periodontal health status of the patients with periodontitis was assessed by measuring plaque index; gingival index, clinical attachment loss (CAL) and community periodontal index treatment need (CPITN). All collected data were processed descriptively by presenting in numbers and percentages and analytically by cross-tabulation between variables. The majority of the patients (84%) had a mild level of clinical attachment loss and 54% had probing pocket depth of 3.5-5.5 mm. Moderate loss of clinical attachment was observed in 30.8% of patients with a medical history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension and 10.8% with no medical history. Most of the patients need non-surgical periodontal treatment that is scaling and root planning along with oral hygiene instructions and maintenance to reduce the progression of periodontal diseases.

To this day, delinquent among teenagers remain the most critical social issue facing the Malaysian nation. This study examined the effects of psycho-spiritual intervention in reducing the level of anger among delinquent teenagers from correctional and rehabilitation centers in Terengganu. This study employed quasi-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest. The 24 female delinquent teenagers from correctional and rehabilitation centers in Terengganu were involved in this study. Differences in anger levels were evaluated based on the pretest and posttest scores, using the clinical anger scales (CAS). Descriptive analysis and pair sample t-test were used to analyze data. Overall, the pre and post-test mean scores showed a decrease in delinquent teenager’s anger levels. Pair sample t-test showed a significant difference in anger level before and after the psycho-spiritual intervention. It is shown that psycho-spiritual intervention is effective to reduce the levels of anger among teenagers who are involved in delinquent behavior.

Abstract

Coping efforts during pregnancy are significant in influencing better pregnancy and birth outcomes. This study aimed to prove the influence of smart mother classes (SMC) on stress, childbirth self-efficacy (CBSE), and birth outcomes. This research used an experimental design, pre and post-test control group design. The population was all pregnant women at 28-35 weeks of pregnancy in Semarang City, Indonesia. The sample was chosen by cluster random sampling, where 35 health centers in 12 regions were randomized as six regions (n=60) as intervention group (antenatal class and coping skill as smart mother classes) while the other six regions (n=60) as the control group (antenatal class only). Each region runs one class with 10 pregnant women. The groups were treated four times in four weeks. The measurement was before the treatment, fourth week, and at birth. This study used repeated-measures ANOVA. The results showed that the SMC was influenced significantly in reducing stress (p=0.012), and increasing CBSE but not statistically significant (p>0.05). The SMC also had a significant impact on the outcomes of birth (p<0.05), except the time of the first stage of labor (p>0.05). The study suggested a need for the provision of continuity and holistic midwifery care.

Abstract

Uterine fibroid is a common pelvic tumor seen in women of reproductive age causing complications and affecting the quality of life of women. Despite the fact that fibroids are ubiquitous and have a major impact, public awareness of uterine fibroids is exceedingly low. Hence, the study aims to determine the amount of awareness present about uterine fibroid among women in Kerala. In order to assess the knowledge, an online based survey was carried out among women (n=417) for a period of six months. For that we had prepared a questionnaire which was divided into 2 parts, part 1 contains sociodemographic details of the participants, while the next part consisted of 21 questions which evaluates the knowledge of women towards uterine fibroid. The contact numbers or mail ID of women of different age groups were collected from certain women’s social groups and the prepared questionnaire has been sent to women through social medias such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Gmail and the responses were collected. This study concluded that, approximately 66.4% of women are aware of uterine fibroid, while the rest have various misconceptions, and thus awareness must be spread about it. Various measures such as educational programs and camps must be conducted in rural areas to improve the awareness of uterine fibroid among women which help in early management and thereby preventing the complications of the disease.
