Abstract

Nurses face challenges with Early Warning System (EWS) assessments, which can delay the identification of deteriorating conditions in stroke patients, increasing the risk of severe outcomes like unplanned ICU transfers, cardiac arrest, and mortality. This study aimed to determine the effect of peer group education on nurses’ ability to perform the Early Warning System in stroke patients. This study used pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 30 nurses selected using purposive sampling at the Multazam Stroke Unit of Haji General Hospital, East Java, Surabaya. Data were collected using an observation checklist to assess nurses’ ability in implementing the EWS before and after a peer group education intervention. The intervention was conducted in two 60-minute sessions delivered by the researcher and included education on the concept of EWS, EWS procedures for stroke patients, and practical training on EWS implementation through lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and evaluation activities. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Prior to the intervention, 56.7% of nurses had adequate ability and 43.3% had good ability in implementing the EWS. Following the peer group education intervention, all nurses (100%) demonstrated good ability. Statistical test showed a significant improvement in nurses’ ability following the intervention (p = 0.000). Peer group education was effective in improving nurses’ ability to implement the EWS for stroke patients. This educational approach may be used as a continuing professional development strategy to enhance nurses’ competence in early detection and management of patient deterioration in clinical settings.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, particularly among older adults with diabetes mellitus, requires nurses to possess adequate knowledge and skills in wound assessment and evidence-based wound care to promote healing and prevent complications. This literature review aimed to examine nurses' level of knowledge regarding wound assessment and appropriate wound care methods. A literature review was conducted using secondary data from relevant national and international published articles on nurses' knowledge of wound assessment and management. The reviewed studies consistently demonstrated that nurses with higher levels of knowledge perform more accurate wound assessments and apply appropriate wound care practices, resulting in improved healing outcomes and reduced risk of complications. Conversely, inadequate knowledge may contribute to delayed healing, infection, and poor wound management. Nurses' knowledge is a key factor in effective wound assessment and management. Continuous education and training are essential to enhance nurses' competencies, improve the quality of wound care, accelerate healing, and minimize wound-related complications, particularly in older adults with chronic wounds.

Abstract

Increasing life expectancy in Indonesia has led to a growing older adult population and a higher prevalence of fall-related geriatric syndromes. This study aimed to identify factors associated with falls among older adults to support fall prevention. This study employed an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design to identify factors associated with falls among older adults. The dependent variable was the incidence of falls, whereas the independent variables included age, sex, physical function, cognitive function, psychological status, balance, mobility, muscle strength, disease history, lighting conditions, floor conditions, use of walking aids, and polypharmacy. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test to determine the relationships between the study variables. The study population consisted of older adults residing at UPT Pelayanan Sosial Tresna Werdha Jombang, Kediri. Thirty-one participants who met the eligibility criteria were recruited. The statistical analysis of the respondents' data showed that psychological status, physical function, and mobility were significantly associated with the incidence of falls among older adults. The analysis revealed that psychological status (p = 0.037), physical function (p = 0.045), and mobility (p = 0.031) were significantly associated with the incidence of falls among older adults. Psychological status, physical function, and mobility are significant determinants of falls among older adults. Early identification of these risk factors and implementation of comprehensive fall-prevention strategies by healthcare professionals may reduce geriatric syndrome-related emergencies, decrease morbidity and mortality, and improve the quality of life of older adults.
