Abstract

Nursing care is a key component of quality healthcare services, ensuring patient satisfaction and meeting hospital needs. However, patient dissatisfaction could reduce the quality of nursing care, caused by low nurses' work motivation. Clinical supervision was a form of coaching that increased nurses' work motivation through formative, restorative, and normative functions. Therefore, this study aimed to identify clinical supervision and work motivation of nurses providing care in Regional General Hospital. A descriptive correlation design was adopted with a cross-sectional method. Data were collected through a survey of 98 impatient nurses selected using simple random sampling. The survey used questionnaires that measured clinical supervision and work motivation, and then bivariate test analysis was carried out with the Spearman rho test. The results showed a significant relationship between clinical supervision and nurses' work motivation (p < 0.05), with a strong relationship strength (r = 0.637). Furthermore, the highest clinical supervision and work motivation were formative and intrinsic, respectively. In conclusion, effective clinical supervision can increase nurses' work motivation during work and contribute to the quality of nursing care in the hospital. This study recommended the continuous implementation of clinical supervision by room managers on an ongoing basis. Strategies for developing clinical supervision for nurses are important to increase nurses' work motivation to have an effective impact on performance in hospital.

Abstract

Self-harm is a prevalent form of self-inflicted behavior not motivated by the desire to die. Previous reports have shown that the youngest age group is the most affected on a global scale. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the most prevalent forms of self-harm and the associated psychosocial factors among high school students in Medan, Indonesia. The convenience sampling was implemented and data were obtained through questionnaire containing demographic information and Self-Harm Screening Inventory (SHSI), which comprised 10 yes or no questions. To investigate the association between demographic variables and particular behavior, descriptive statistics and bivariate cross-tabulations were implemented. The results showed that the most frequently reported behavior included head banging (23%), intense scratching (33.3%), and hitting oneself (37.9%). Several factors, such as female gender, history of abuse, suicide attempts, emotional dysregulation (frequent anger), eating disorders, and exposure to domestic violence, were found to have significant associations. Furthermore, self-harm behavior was prevalent among high school students and was related to various psychosocial risk factors. These results emphasize the need for school-based mental health interventions concentrating on the early identification of at-risk youth, emotional regulation, and trauma history.

Abstract

Environmental stressors in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), such as noise, lighting, and invasive treatments, can interfere with premature infants' physiological responses, behavior, development, sleep, and central nervous system organization. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between nurses' factors (age, work experience, education level, and training) and their implementation of developmental care in the NICU. This quantitative study used a correlational analysis method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique applied was consecutive sampling, involving 70 NICU nurses as respondents. The inclusion criteria required that participants be nurses who had worked in the NICU for a minimum of 6 months and expressed willingness to participate in the study. The exclusion criteria included nurses who were on medical leave or currently unwell. Data were collected through a nurse characteristics questionnaire and a developmental care application questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using bivariate analysis with the Pearson test and multivariate analysis through linear regression. The results showed a significant relationship between age (p = 0.04), length of work experience (p = 0.03), and training (p < 0.0001) with the implementation of developmental care. However, education level was not significantly related to developmental care implementation (p = 0.873). The factor most strongly associated with the implementation of developmental care was nurse training (highest correlation coefficient = 0.426). There is a significant relationship between age, work experience, and nurse training in the implementation of developmental care in NICU settings. Among these factors, training plays the most crucial role in boosting nurses' confidence in applying developmental care practices.

Abstract

This literature review was conducted to evaluate studies assessing the impact of artificial intelligence on the health literacy of surgical patients. A systematic search of the PubMed, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar databases, as well as the National Academic Network and Information Center, was performed. The search was limited to articles published in English or Turkish in the last five years, using the following keywords such as "Artificial Intelligence," "General Surgery," "Health Literacy," and "Nursing." A total of twenty articles, conducted in Turkey and other countries, met the specified scope conditions for this review. The findings indicate that a considerable number of studies have addressed health literacy in the context of surgical operations. A key determination was that 95% (n=19) of the virtual chatbots examined within these studies were ChatGPT. It was observed that these chatbots generally delivered accurate information at a "medium and above" readability level. The positive correlation between enhanced patient health literacy and improved surgical outcomes is well documented in the literature. Moreover, the integration of technological advancements, particularly from the field of artificial intelligence, has been demonstrated to increase the effectiveness of nursing care. Consequently, addressing health inequalities requires urgent, twofold measures: firstly, implementing targeted efforts to improve the health literacy of disadvantaged groups, and secondly, adapting nursing education to reflect technological advancements.

Abstract

Self-harm is a phenomenon characterized by the intentional infliction of injury or pain on the body, often without suicidal intent. Despite its prevalence, studies on this phenomenon within the Indonesian context remains limited, particularly in terms of the role of peer support. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the lived experience of university students who engage in self-harm and the perspectives of their supportive peers using hermeneutics phenomenological approach, rooted in the philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer. The complexity, sensitivity, and profoundly personal nature of self-harm was also explored using ontological, epistemological, axiological, and methodological foundations of hermeneutics. The strength of hermeneutics inquiry to explain meaning and context was assessed by a review of pertinent studies. The results identified several obstacles associated with ethical considerations and participants engagement. This shows that future nursing studies must focus on the development of nursing theories specific to self-harm, the integration of spiritual and religious perspectives, and culturally sensitive interventions. In addition, the current study validates the significance of hermeneutics in the advancement of nursing knowledge and practice in the context of mental health issues among young adults.

Abstract

Nursing is a profession that demands responsibility, empathy, and sustained commitment. Despite its critical role in healthcare systems, the profession is currently facing significant global challenges, most notably a widespread shortage of nursing personnel. This shortage is further exacerbated by a declining interest among younger generations in selecting nursing as a career, raising concerns about the future sustainability of the healthcare workforce. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' considerations when choosing nursing as a future career in a private school in Batam. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews recorded using a Digital Voice Recorder. A total of 15 participants were selected based on data saturation. Four key themes were identified, including Nursing as a Noble Profession, Nurses as Role Models, Support for Becoming a Nurse, and Challenges in Choosing a Nursing Career. Students often perceive the nursing profession as noble and dignified, largely due to its dedication to caring for and helping others. The experience of being cared for and seeing nurses doing their job became students' role models in the future. Another factor was that social support was found to encourage students to pursue nursing. On the other hand, barriers such as gender stigma, the high cost of nursing education, and family economic difficulties are significant challenges in choosing this career. In conclusion, students' decisions to choose nursing are influenced by both supportive and obstructive factors. This study suggests that further investigation should be conducted using nursing theory, focusing on how clinical experiences during nursing education impact students' career goals in the context of personal, interpersonal, and social systems. Understanding these dynamics could help improve the recruitment and retention of nursing students.

Abstract

Complaints from nurses are often received by nursing managers regarding staff shortages, which leads to increased workload. Determining the unquantifiable level of workload poses a challenge, as the head nurse cannot accurately assess the number of staff shortages in the hospital room. Therefore, this study aims to develop a web-based application for the calculation of nursing staff needs based on patient dependency levels and unit workload. The application is accessible through both mobile and web platforms. A pre-experimental one-shot case study design, including 25 nurses, was used at a hospital in West Java. Measurements were conducted only during the post-test phase. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (80%), who held a Diploma degree (76%), and worked as managers (48%). The average age of respondents was 34.3 ± 7.27 years, with a median experience of 5.0 ± 728 years. Generally, nurses' satisfaction with the application was at a moderate satisfaction, with an average satisfaction rate of 72.4%. A more detailed breakdown showed satisfaction scores of 74%, 71.4%, 75%, 70%, and 70.8% for content, format, accuracy, timeliness, and ease of use, respectively. Satisfaction with the application needs to be improved, specifically for timeliness and ease of use. This application was developed as a potential method for efficiently assessing staffing needs. Providing adequate training for nurses is essential to enhance the effectiveness and usability of the application in hospital settings.

Abstract

Nurses are using knowledge sources to enhance practice through the latest and most trusted evidence-based methods. In this context, the ability to search and select knowledge can increase clinical confidence. Low clinical confidence also leads to hesitation or doubt in decision-making. As an essential element in successfully promoting achievement, the level of confidence and decision-making of the healthcare workforce should be improved. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the frequency of article sharing in improving the level of clinical confidence and decision making after following One Day One Clinical Question (ODOCQ) program. The results showed that ODOCQ was developed for nurses to enhance the capacity of online resources and publications on issues encountered in day-to-day work. A cross-sectional research using random sampling and online questionnaires was also developed to measure clinical confidence and decision-making. Inclusion criteria included one year of minimum service at the hospital, and the research was completed by 118 nurses. In addition, the frequency of article sharing as part of the ODOCQ program improved clinical confidence (p<0.001) and decision-making (p<0.019) significantly. Academic routine habits, such as the ODOCQ program and article sharing frequency, improved clinical confidence and decision-making of nurses, as well as the readiness of evidence-based nursing practice implementation. The program could be used for additional professional development and evidence-based preparation. However, further research is needed to measure the level of clinical confidence and decision-making with non-self-report measurement

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest smoking population worldwide, and remains the only ASEAN nation that has not ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). This has led to the continuous increase in catastrophic diseases recorded every year. Meanwhile, the role of health workers, specifically nurses, is very crucial in reducing smoking behavior. Cessation is a surefire strategy to start improving public health and the environment, although the initial steps are very difficult for active smokers. Therefore, effective programs and strategies consistent with individual motivation and cultural contexts are needed to achieve optimal smoking cessation outcomes. Three active moderate smokers aged 20, 21, and 45 years followed the programs and strategies provided for 3-6 months. The results showed smoking cessation was successfully achieved. The strategies adopted, namely Self Awareness, Sounding, and Support Systems, have the potential to successfully achieve smoking cessation. The process requires a personal approach and knowledge about possible motivations, as well as smokers culture to function properly. Furthermore, strengthening is also needed as a support system to prevent a relapse.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and a leading cause of disability in the elderly. The severity of osteoarthritis can be assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), which is a widely used tool to measure pain, stiffness, and physical dysfunction in patients with OA. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with knee osteoarthritis and their WOMAC scores. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional observational design. The relationship between functional disability (measured by the WOMAC score) and various factors was analyzed. The independent variables included age, sex, occupation, body mass index (BMI), OA grade, and duration of OA to the WOMAC score. Significant correlations were found between the WOMAC score and both OA grade (p=0.049) and OA duration (p=0.030). Furthermore, the multiple linear regression analysis revealed that OA duration (p=0.038) and OA grade (p=0.036) were significant predictors of the WOMAC score, collectively explaining 13.0% of its variance (R² value = 0.130).  The findings of this study indicate that OA grade and duration of illness are significant predictors of the level of disability as measured by the WOMAC scores. OA levels and disease duration were the primary predictors of functional disability, explaining 13.0% of the WOMAC score variance. Nursing interventions should focus on risk stratification based on these clinical markers, prioritizing early intervention for newly diagnosed patients, irrespective of their age or BMI.
