Abstract

Introduction: The administration of chemotherapeutic drugs requires specialized knowledge and skills to ensure optimal patient outcomes and minimize risks. While global guidelines emphasize the importance of safe chemotherapy administration, there is a lack of context-specific data on the knowledge and practices of nurses in tertiary health facilities in Benin City. This study addresses the gap by providing empirical evidence on their competencies and challenges. Hence this study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices of safe handling and administration of chemotherapeutic drugs amongst tertiary health facility, Benin City. Methods: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design among randomly selected 278 nurse working in the selected hospital. A researcher developed structured validated questionnaire was used as instrument of data collection. Data collected was analyse using descriptive statistics while hypothesis tested using multiple logistic regression at 5% level of significant. Data analysis was done using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28.0 for windows. Results: Overall 17% of participants had poor knowledge, and 63% had fair knowledge. More than half (51%) exhibited poor practice. Most significant factors supporting the safe handling and administration of chemotherapeutic drugs are Training and Certification (3.94), Incident Encounters (3.73), Protocol Adherence (2.93), and Utilization of PPE (2.82). Being married: (OR = 1.136 (95% C.I: 1.10–3.83, p = 0.7369),   Female (OR = 4.90, 95% CI: 0.23–3.54, p = 0.479), 18–34 years (OR = 7.03, 95% CI: 0.06–8.28, p = 0.298) , Bachelor Degree (OR = 7.69, 95% CI: 0.05–7.10, p = 0.174) have higher odds of exhibiting a higher level of practice compared to other categories but not statistically significant. Conclusions: The study found that nurses have moderate knowledge and practice levels in handling chemotherapeutic drugs but still face significant gaps. It highlights the need for targeted interventions, in-service education, and institutional policies to improve competency and ensure safe chemotherapy administration.

Abstract

Introduction: Delays and errors in providing first aid to victims experiencing syncope can significantly increase the risk of complications and even mortality. Syncope requires immediate, appropriate intervention, making first aid skills essential for students. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the roleplay method and the audiovisual method in improving students’ skills in providing first aid for syncope. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent group posttest-only approach. The population consisted of all 442 students in Class X at SMAN 1 Kedungwaru, Tulungagung, Indonesia. Using purposive sampling with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, 71 students were recruited. Participants were divided into two groups: the roleplay group (n = 35, Class X-1) and the audiovisual group (n = 36, Class X-2). The independent variable was the health education method, while the dependent variable was the level of syncope first aid skills. Data were collected using an observation checklist, with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.86, confirming its validity. Data analysis was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The demographic characteristics showed comparable distributions between groups. In the roleplay group, 49% (n = 17) of students demonstrated good skills, whereas in the audiovisual group, the majority 47% (n = 17) achieved only moderate skill levels. The Mann–Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two methods. Conclusion: Roleplay is more effective than audiovisual because respondents have the opportunity to practice directly so they learn and see more clearly.

Abstract

Introduction: Nurses, a vast portion of the healthcare workforce, have made a low contribution to achieving healthcare organizational visions and strategies in producing research. The study aimed to identify the facilitators and barriers to research production among members of a community of practice (CoP). Method: This study utilized a descriptive qualitative research design, conducting a focus group discussion. Those members were provided with education, mentorship, and support over 12 months from January 2023 to January 2024. h a convenience sample of 21 members from the targeted CoP.  Results: The online CoP provided members with several opportunities to compensate for any deficit in the existing individual, social, and organizational support system. However, the study highlighted several barriers to research among the community members, including individual factors, i.e., time limitations and lack of member’s knowledge and expertise, social factors, i.e., lack of collaboration among colleagues, and organizational factors, i.e., lack of organization and unit support, resources, and workload. Conclusion: The study revealed satisfactory progress in the members' research projects and recommended extending their learning and training period. The study suggests extending the members' education and training period, including psychological preparation, and providing them with additional skills such as persuasion, negotiation, and interpersonal skills to overcome existing research barriers. Moreover, further studies are required to assess the long-term impact, for example, after one or two years of the online CoP on members' research productivity. Further research to explore the facilitators and barriers of research production among CoP members in various contexts.

Abstract

Introduction: School-aged children are in the developmental stage of concrete operational thinking, where they begin to think logically and solve problems in a structured way. However, many children at this stage still experience difficulties in subjects which often requires high levels of concentration and problem-solving skills. This study aims to determine the effect of classical music therapy on learning concentration in school-aged children. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. Population consisted of 42 school-aged children, a sample of 38 was obtained using a non-probability sampling. Classical music therapy was used as the independent variable, while learning concentration served as the dependent variable. Learning concentration was measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the effect intervention. Results: The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test yielded a ρ value of 0.00, which is smaller than the predetermined significance level (α = 0.05). This finding indicates that classical music therapy has a statistically significant effect on improving learning concentration in school-aged children. The outcome supports the notion that classical music stimulates cognitive, focus, and learning atmosphere. Conclusion: This study concludes that classical music therapy has a significant positive influence on learning concentration. The intervention was shown to enhance students’ ability to maintain focus and sustain attention during learning activities, suggesting that classical music supports environment for academic engagement. Results reinforce the importance of innovative educational interventions that address cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors in the learning process.

Abstract

Introduction: Nurses play an integral role in the healthcare system, representing the most essential and prominent component of the healthcare sector. To build a resilient organizational plan, it is necessary to engage employees in decision-making and offer them greater autonomy.  This is usually accomplished through empowering employees, with the behavior of leaders playing an integral role, especially in empowering leadership. Thus, this study aimed to examine the relationship between structural empowerment among nurses, years of managerial experience, and resistance to change. Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive correlational survey included 148 participants employed in formal or acting leadership roles such as nursing managers, head nurses, or nursing supervisors in a Riyadh university hospital, selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the CWEQ-II and RTC scales. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that structural empowerment among nurses is significantly and negatively associated with resistance to change, indicating that an increase in structural empowerment leads to a decrease in resistance to change.  However, years of managerial experience showed no significant association with resistance to change, demonstrating that having more or fewer years of managerial experience did not meaningfully impact resistance levels. Conclusion: This study concluded that with more employment empowerment, exposure, and accessibility to information, resistance to change can be reduced.

Abstract

Introduction: Patient loyalty serves as an important indicator in evaluating the overall quality of nursing services within hospital settings. Loyalty reflects a crucial determinant of hospital competitiveness and sustainability. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nurse responsiveness, empathy, and patient loyalty in the hospital service environment. Method: This quantitative cross-sectional study involved 62 patients as respondents using accidental sampling techniques. Patient in the ward patients admitted to the ward during January. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure nurses' responsiveness and empathy through patient perceptions, as well as the Patient Loyalty Questionnaire (PLQ), which includes dimensions of attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty, word of mouth, and recommendation intentions. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and Ordinal Logistic Regression. Results: Patient perceptions of nurse responsiveness showed that more than half (66.1%) were in the good category. Similarly, patient perceptions of nurse empathy showed that more than half (71%) were in the good category. Some patients (54.9%) had high loyalty. Analysis of the relationship between responsiveness and loyalty (p=0.001 and r=0.69) and between empathy and loyalty (p=0.001 and r=0.59). Both results indicate that responsiveness and empathy are related to loyalty with the strength of the relationship in the strong category Conclusions: Nurses' responsiveness and empathy are important factors influencing patient loyalty. Hospital management needs to develop training programs to strengthen nurses' skills in responding to patient needs quickly and effectively, as well as work systems that support nurses' quick, responsive, and timely responses in interacting with patients, so that patients feel satisfied and become loyal.

Abstract

Introduction: Effective nurse–doctor collaboration is fundamental to delivering high-quality hospital care. However, interprofessional collaboration often remains suboptimal due to hierarchical dynamics and limited managerial competence among nurse leaders. This study examined the influence of head nurses’ leadership style, particularly democratic leadership, on nurse–doctor collaboration in hospital settings. Methods: a cross-sectional correlational study was conducted at a regional general hospital in Indonesia, with data collected in April 2023. A total of 49 respondents were recruited using purposive sampling. Leadership style was assessed using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ–5X Rater Form, 45 items), while nurse–doctor collaboration was measured with the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician–Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC, 15 items). Content validity was established through expert judgment (CVI = 0.87), and reliability testing demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.82 for MLQ; α = 0.85 for JSAPNC). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: In major (69.4%) respondents perceived their head nurse’s leadership style as democratic. Additionally, 61.2% reported good nurse–doctor collaboration. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between democratic leadership style and nurse–doctor collaboration (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Democratic leadership among head nurses is significantly associated with stronger nurse–doctor collaboration. Enhancing democratic leadership competencies may promote more effective interprofessional teamwork and contribute to improved quality of care in hospital settings.
