Abstract

The process of getting old will continue to occur and cause various morphological changes that affect the function of the respiratory system. The respiratory system in the elderly shows a structural and functional decline, resulting in increased respiratory work compared to other young people. This is associated with a decreased ability when suffering from mother acute diseases such as heart defects, bacterial or viral infections, and blockages in the airway. The risk of complications from COVID-19 is higher in some vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and individuals who suffer from weakness or have some chronic conditions. The risk of death increases with age and is also higher in those with diabetes, heart disease, blood clotting problems, or who have shown signs of sepsis. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Knowledge and COVID-19 Prevention Behavior in the Elderly This type of research is quantitative research. The population is all elderly in the working area of Piru Health Centre, which consists of 123 people. The sample consisted of 94 people selected by simple random sampling. Research instruments are questionnaires of knowledge and behavior. Data analysis is performed univariately and bivariate using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and COVID-19 prevention behavior in the elderly in the Piru Health Center Work Area. Knowledge influences the behavior of the elderly health, so it is hoped that the government can provide Health Education to improve the understanding of the elderly to improve COVID-19 prevention behavior.

Abstract

Delayed reporting of breast cancer continues to increase in African countries, including Ghana, which is attributable to socio-cultural and economic factors. However, there is a paucity of data on socio-cultural and economic determinants of delayed reporting of breast cancer in Ghana. This study aimed to explore the socio‐cultural and economic determinants of delayed reporting of breast cancer among Ghanaian women. The study adopted an exploratory descriptive qualitative design with purposive sampling to recruit 17 women with breast cancer from the Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ghana. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. Analysis: Data analysis was done using the thematic analysis approach. Delayed reporting was due to inaccurate information, the influence of social networks, cultural misconceptions, belief in alternative treatment, high cost of treatment, and extreme poverty. A combination of socio‐cultural and economic factors influences the delay in reporting breast cancer in Ghana. Culturally appropriate and adequate health information and education, integration of alternative treatment into the formal healthcare system in Ghana, and financial support from the government are needed to promote early reporting for treatment.

Abstract

Helminth infection are still a problem in the world. According to WHO, children aged 1-4 years have a high morbidity of helminthic infections. The number of Helminthinfections in children is influenced by several factors, one of which is PHBS (Clean and Healthy Living Behavior). In addition, children who are stunted or malnourished are prone to Helminthinfections. This can be prevented with the role of mother's knowledge regarding PHBS, stunting, and nutrition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mother's knowledge about PHBS, stunting, and nutrition with Helminths in toddlers in Jelbuk District, Jember Regency. This research has a type of observational analytic research with a cross-sectional design. The population consists of mothers who have toddlers aged 12-59 months in Jelbuk District, Jember Regency. The sampling technique used consecutive sampling and obtained 69 mothers. Knowledge obtained from interviews using a questionnaire. Helminthinfections in toddlers are obtained from stool examination using flotation techniques. Data analysis using Mann Whitney. The results showed that there were 4 toddlers (5.7%) who had Helminth infections. 3 toddlers were infected with Ascaris lumbricoides (4.34%) and the rest were hookHelminths (1.44%). The majority of mothers have good knowledge on all indicators of knowledge of PHBS and nutrition, but lack of knowledge on stunting. Analysis using the Mann Whitney test showed that there was a relationship with Helminths only on 2 indicators of PHBS, namely smoking (Sig.(2-tailed)=0.036) and house cleanliness (Sig.(2-tailed)=0.027). The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between knowledge of house hygiene and smoking with Helminths in children under five and there is no relationship between knowledge of healthy latrines, clean water, garbage disposal, consumption of fruit vegetables, stunting, and nutrition..

Abstract

This study aims at determining the change created by Syrian asylum seekers, who came to Turkey due to the Syrian war, in the health and nursing services provided in hospitals located in Turkey’s border region. This qualitative research was conducted with 68 nurses who provided treatment and care services for Syrian asylum seekers during intense periods of the Syrian war. Data was collected with the semi-structured in-depth individual interview form and the content analysis method. Seven subthemes were determined under two main themes: Physical structure, hospital equipment, and the change caused by the general health services offered by the hospital are the subthemes under the main theme ‘change in healthcare’; and the inability to nursing process, lack of resources, failure to ensure patient safety, failure to ensure employee safety, and problems regarding working conditions are the subthemes under the main theme ‘change in nursing services’. Since this is the first study on this subject in Turkey, there is a need for more comprehensive studies on the subject that examine different professional groups. The numbers of asylum seekers throughout the world is increasing every day. Therefore, determining how asylum seekers have made a change in health and nursing services may be useful in terms of the possible measures and improvements to be taken in migration situations.

Abstract

This descriptive study investigated the effect of postoperative pain on sleep quality in patients who underwent brain tumor surgery in neurosurgical clinics.The study population consisted of all patients who underwent surgery for a brain tumor between April and October 2022 in the neurosurgical units of a university hospital and a city hospital. The sample consisted of 90 volunteers. Data were collected using a patient information form, the Numerical Rating Scale for Pain (NRS), and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ). The data were analyzed using the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis. Participants had a mean age of 47.36±16.17 years. Half of the participants were men (50%). Less than half of the participants had a primary school degree (44.4%). Most participants were married (82.2%). Less than half of the participants slept ≥8 hours before hospitalization (43.3%). Most participants had no sleep problems (88.9%) and were not on sleeping pills (98.8%). Participants’ pain scores significantly differed by measurement times (ꭓ2=60.715; p=0.000). They had significantly lower mean second- (4.20±2.58) and third-measurement (3.13±2.36) NRS scores than the first-measurement NRS score (5.57±2.83) in the morning. In the morning, they had a significantly lower mean third-measurement NRS score (3.13±2.36) than the second-measurement NRS score (4.20±2.58). There was a weak negative correlation between the mean first-measurement RCSQ score and the first-measurement NRS (morning) and NRS (evening) scores (p<0.05).There is a negative correlation between sleep quality and pain in patients who underwent surgery for a brain tumor

Abstract

The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies (STROBS) Statement is a guidance document that an international group of methodologists has developed, researchers, editors, statisticians, and experts in order to enhance the quality of reporting for observational studies in nursing research and take into account empirical evidence and theoretical considerations. Implementing and using the STROBS statement will help protect nurses from scientific misconceptions leading to poor decision-making and practice. This article will discuss the importance of following the STROBS statement in nursing research, its key components, and how it can improve the quality of reporting observational studies. Review of literature based on previous studies and reviews derived from Scopus, PubMed, and Medline databases concerning STROBE statement guidelines. The data collection was conducted from December 2021 to April 2022. These studies were collected and filtered according to the specific criteria and used keywords such as STROBE, nursing studies, evidence-based nursing practice, cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional and observational studies, and articles from the National Library of Medicine. Few papers have been published that demonstrate an appreciation of STROBE, but their descriptive features do not seem appropriate for nursing publications. In comparison to STROBE, relatively few papers mentioned primary sources or other information regarding the selection process for study participants and the observation time frame. Despite the widespread availability of reporting guidelines in medical and nursing, many researchers do not follow them.

Abstract

Ineffective health management and adherence are the problems of mentally ill patients. Thus, if left untreated, they could create significant disadvantages for clients, their families, the community, and even the government. This case study aimed to identify the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on clients with Ineffective health management and to identify adherence, acceptance, and commitment to the regimen. The research approach used in this study was case study conducted on 5 respondents consisting of mentally ill patients with Ineffective health management. The ACT was given for 4 sessions through two to four meetings. The analyzed clients were measured using MARS (Medication Adherence Rating Scale). After the client was given ACT and nursing intervention, the adherence increased by 71% (14 points), and the acceptance ability and commitment increased to 70% on five clients. Medication adherence, acceptance, and commitment levels were lower in the younger clients, who get stigma and lack of family support. Mentally ill patients given ACT will survive more than others without ACT because they have agreed to stay healthy by taking medication regularly. So, this study recommended ACT to increase the health management of mentally ill patients as the approach to increase adherence and commitment to treatment.

Abstract

Primiparous mother is confronted with many physical and psychosocial changes during the postpartum period which consequently affect her maternal functioning. To deal with these changes positively, the maternal functioning of postpartum mothers should be enhanced by the provision of maternal and newborn care intervention (MNCI). A quasi-experimental research pretest post-test comparison group design was used to study the effect of MNCI on the maternal functioning of primiparous mothers. This study was conducted in Mandalay Central Women’s Hospital, Myanmar. A total of 72 primiparous mothers (control group=36, intervention group=36) were recruited by consecutive sampling. The MNCI was given to the intervention group in the form of direct nursing care, individual and group teaching and demonstration using audio-visual materials and an educational booklet, discussion in “Peer Viber Support Group” and follow-up telephone calls. Baseline assessment was done at antenatal 32nd to 36th weeks to assess postpartum self-care knowledge, maternal newborn care knowledge, and social support. At six weeks postpartum, self-efficacy and maternal functioning of participants were assessed in addition to baseline assessment. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, independent t-test, and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that maternal functioning was significantly improved in the intervention group than the control group at postpartum six weeks (p < 0.05). The improvement was also found in postpartum self-care knowledge, maternal newborn care knowledge, social support, and postpartum self-efficacy of primiparous mothers at postpartum six weeks (p < 0.001). This study highlighted that the MNCI was effective in enhancing the maternal functioning of the primiparous mothers. Further studies are recommended to determine the effectiveness of the MNCI upon health outcomes of postpartum mothers and babies in hospitals and community settings.

Abstract

In adolescence, the teenage girl begins to pay attention to physical appearance and wants to be close to their ideal concept of beauty, such as a slim body. The inability to appear according to the ideal concept of beauty in teenage girls with obesity causes self-image disorders. This study aims to determine the correlation between obesity and adolescent girls' self-image in Denpasar city. This study employed a correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 369 respondents. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling and simple random sampling. The data collection tool used was a self-image and percentile IMT questionnaire. Data analysis using chi-square test. Findings indicated that most teenage girls were not obese (72.1%), and most teenage girls had a positive self-image (96.2%). The statistical test shows p<0,001, which means a significant correlation exists between obesity and teenage girls' self-image. A study revealed a significant link between obesity and self-image among adolescent girls, with obese girls experiencing negative self-perception. The study suggests that encouraging these young women to engage in activities they excel in, like exercise and singing, could help them discover their strengths and mitigate the psychosocial effects associated with body image. Additional intervention measures are necessary to explore and reduce the broader psychosocial impact beyond body perception.
