Abstract

The physiological and psychological consequences of myocardial infarction affect the health-related quality of life. This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life among post-myocardial infarction patients at governmental hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The study utilized a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical design. The sample of the study consisted of 162 post myocardial infarction patients selected by stratified random sampling method. For data collection, the researcher used a self-administered questionnaire of the World Health Organization Quality of Life short version. Statistical analysis included frequency, mean and percentage, as well as independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that the study participants have a moderate level of global quality of life (m= 2.94; 58.8%) and moderate satisfaction with their global health (m= 3.01; 60.2%). Moreover, the results indicated moderate physical health (m= 2.79; 55.8%), moderate psychological health (m= 3.06; 61.2%), moderate social relationships (m= 3.22; 64.4%), moderate environmental health (m= 2.77; 55.4%). Overall, the study participants rated their health-related quality of life as moderate level (m= 2.96; 59.2%). The following factors were statistically significant determinants for lower quality of life: being 70 years and older (F= 5.342, P= 0.000), widowed participants (F= 4.135, P value = 0.007), low income (F= 7.436, P value = 0.001), and having other chronic diseases (F= 8.620, P value = 0.000). Factors that were significantly associated with higher quality of life included university education (F= 4.850, P value = 0.009), and working or employed (t= 3.483, P value = 0.001). On the other hand, hospital, gender, family size, and smoking did not have a significant association with quality of life. The study concludes moderate level of quality of life and raised the need to develop strategies to improve quality of life.

Abstract

Healthcare professionals (HCP) strive to deliver appropriate Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) care practices that can enhance patient outcomes and quality practice. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of healthcare professionals' HIV care best practices published between 2012 and 2022. The review includes HPC practices that successfully reached the intended results depending on their objectives. Two themes emerged from the eight publications reviewed: (a) the significance of linking HCP services to newly diagnosed HIV-positive individuals and (b) the relevance of integrated and comprehensive service provision in enhancing patient outcomes. This review was hindered by inconsistent reporting and arbitrary usage of "Appropriate HIV care practices."

Abstract

Cervical cancer (CaCx) is the most common cancer among women and is also the major cause of death worldwide. It is the most common cancer among black Zimbabwean women accounting for 29.4% of the cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of cervical cancer and screening practices among women in Bindura District, Zimbabwe. A descriptive cross–sectional research study was conducted. The study sample consisted of 100 consenting women who were selected from Bindura Hospital, Chipadze and Chiwaridzo Council Clinics using simple random sampling method. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire as a guide. Data were processed using Statistical Package Social Sciences (SSPS) software version 20 and analyzed descriptively. Data revealed that knowledge of risks factors and preventive measures for cervical cancer was poor as only (31%) had high knowledge levels. Although the majority of the respondents (77%) had heard about cervical cancer screening only (22%) were screened, the major reason cited being lack of knowledge. Perception of risk for cervical cancer was poor as (58%) of the respondents did not perceive to be at risk of cervical cancer. The study revealed that cervical cancer knowledge level was very low and screening practices were very poor. Therefore, health care providers need to intensify awareness on cervical cancer through health education across women of all age groups. The government should also make cervical cancer screening available and accessible at most health care facilities.

Abstract

Exhausted nurses in providing nursing care can impact work stress. Many factors cause work stress. Work stress is the type of psychological stress that reduces the lacrimal gland's activity, affecting dry eye syndrome. The study aims to analyze the correlation between work stress and nurses' dry eye syndrome in Nganjuk General Hospital. The study was a descriptive correlative observational with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 84 nurses, taken by simple random sampling. Data were collected using Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Ocular Surface Disease (OSDI) questionnaires. The study showed nurses experienced mild stress (96.43%) and moderate dry eye syndrome (36.90%). There was a positive correlation between work stress and dry eye syndrome in nurses in the weak category (r=0.356; p= 0.001< 0.05). There were no significant differences in work stress by age, gender, working period, and marital status (p=0.388; p=0.687 p=0.730; p = 0.839 > α 0.05). There was a significant difference in work stress based on education (p=0.033 < α 0,05). There were no significant differences in dry eye syndrome with age, gender, working period, and marital status (p=0.644; p=0.436; p= 0.865; p=0.072; p=0.719 > α 0,05). The study conclusion is that work stress is related to dry eyes syndrome. Apart from that, work stress is also influenced by the level of education. Therefore, interventions to reduce work stress in nurses should pay attention to education level to reduce the risk of dry eyes syndrome.

Abstract

Anemia is a condition in which the body experiences a lack of hemoglobin levels in the blood. In Indonesia, those who experience anemia the most are teenagers with a prevalence of 30-55%, meanwhile the proportion of anemia in women is higher than in men with a prevalence of 23.9%. Anemia in teenagers increases pregnant women's risk of chronic energy deficiency, stunting, low birth weight and other health problems. Body mass index (BMI) as an indicator of nutritional status and duration of menstruation is one of the factors causing anemia in adolescent girls, so this research aims to determine the relationship between BMI and duration of menstruation on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. Method: The research used a quasi-experimental design using the Nonequivalent Control Group Design model by selecting 60 young women who met the inclusion criteria as a sample. Results: Pearson correlation analysis shows that BMI is not correlated with hemoglobin levels with a p-value of 0.717, while the length of menstruation is correlated with hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with the strength of the relationship being sufficient with an r-0.331 p-value of 0.010, which means that the longer the adolescent girls menstruate, the longer they menstruate. the lower the hemoglobin level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the leadership orientations of clinical chief nurses. In the descriptive study, the G-Power 3.1.9.4 program was used to calculate the sample size and the number of people planned to be included in the study was calculated as 50 with 5% error and 95% power. In this direction, all (50) clinical nurses working in a university hospital between 10.05.2023 and 30.05.2023 will form the study sample group. The data of the study will be collected from individuals with a socio-demographic "Leadership Orientation Questionnaire" prepared by the researchers. 84.6% of the participants were female and 15.4% were male. While 89.7% of the participants are married, 10.3% are single. While 56.4% of them are graduates, 43.6% of them are undergraduates. 46.2% of the participants have been in management for 0-5 years, 28.2% for 10 years and above, and 25.6% for 5-10 years. While the participants' human-oriented leadership behavior score average was 7.79, the minimum score was 3 and the maximum score was 12. While the task-oriented behavior average score was 12.62, the minimum score was 4 and the maximum score was 19. While the leadership orientation total score average was 20.41, the minimum score was 7, and the maximum score was 27. As a result of this study, there is no significant difference between the sub-dimensions of the leadership orientation scale and age, gender, marital status, educational status, duration of work in the profession, and management process. Therefore, extra pieces of training should be planned for responsible nurses, taking into account clinical leadership. There are few studies on this subject in the literature. It is recommended to increase the studies.

Abstract

Nurses with an altruistic attitude should prioritize the patients' interests over their own and strive to care for the welfare of others. This significantly affects the level of workplace violence among nurses, where violence in the workplace is a prevalent issue in the nurses' work environment. This research aims to analyze the relationship between nurses' altruism and the level of workplace violence among nurses in hospitals in the agro-industrial area of Jember district. This study employs a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of 178 nurses. Data collection involved an altruism scale questionnaire and a workplace violence questionnaire. The research utilizes the Kendall Tau-C test. The research results revealed that 84.8% of respondents exhibited a high level of altruism, and 64.6% of respondents displayed a low level of workplace violence. Both variables show a p-value of 0.008 (p-value < 0.05), indicating a relationship between nurses' altruism and the level of workplace violence. This study shows a negative correlation value of r = -0.159, indicating a weak correlation. The lower the nurses' altruism attitude, the higher the level of workplace violence among them. The nurses' altruism attitude significantly influences patient assessment; the better the patient assessment provided by nurses, the lower the occurrence of conflicts.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) in children is one of the causes of child mortality. Children and toddlers are very susceptible to exposure to tuberculosis germs, especially if there is a family that is confirmed to have Tuberculosis (TB) bacteriological notification. The purpose of this study was to analyze the poverty rate, active integrated healthcare center (Posyandu), and BCG Immunization related to Child TB Cases in Indonesia. The study design that was used is an ecological study approach (aggregate study) sourced from the 2019 Indonesian Health Profile data. Bivariate analysis was conducted using a scatter plot and Pearson correlation test. The results showed that the disparity in the percentage of Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in children was very high at 136.3% in West Java and the lowest in Aceh province at 9.6%. The results of the scatter plot and bivariate test showed that the greater the number of poverty rates, there is a tendency for the incidence of TB in children to be high, the more integrated healthcare center (Posyandu) active in an area, the higher the TB incidence in children, and the more children being immunized with BCG, the cases of Tuberculosis (TB) in children are also increasing. It was concluded that the poverty rate and active integrated healthcare center (Posyandu) had a positive relationship, while BCG immunization had a negative relationship with the incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) in children. It is recommended that the government develop special policies on target areas with the highest poverty rates and increase the activity of integrated healthcare center (Posyandu) in areas where the achievement of child Tuberculosis (TB) is still low, as well as increasing BCG immunization in areas with the most Tuberculosis (TB) cases in children to break the chain of transmission in the future.
