Abstract

Illicit drug and alcohol use disorder have negative impact on treatment adherence and are associated with the discontinuation of tuberculosis treatment which is a barrier to tuberculosis control. They significantly increase the risk of poor treatment outcomes in both drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients. The main aim of this study was to explore Health care workers’ perception regarding the impact of Nyaope drug and alcohol use on Tuberculosis Patients in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The study used exploratory qualitative design. Purposive sampling method was used to sample sixteen participants (TB focal person and eight facility operational managers) who signed consent form. Data were collected through key informant in-depth interviews. Data were analysed using Colaizzi's method. Trustworthiness was ensured and ethical considerations were observed. The results show four individual major themes that emerged from data analysis: (1) Patients forget to take treatment, (2) Patients miss follow up visit and DOT support appointments (3) Patients refuse social support (4) Patients refuse to attend health education and counselling. The study highlighted the impact of Nyaope and alcohol abuse on TB treatment adherence among TB patients. There is a need to integrate treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction into primary health care to identify specific patients suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction on time. The successful identification of Nyaope drug users and alcohol abusers in these communities is an important component of a comprehensive TB strategy. Failure to do so, shows a missed opportunity with serious clinical and public health implications.

Abstract

Nursing Process is a proven means of standardizing patients` care and maintaining the autonomy of the nursing profession. It is considered globally as a standard tool which gives nurses opportunity of caring for patients in a scientific, holistic, and flexible way (1, 2). If nursing process is utilized properly, it enables nurses to offer independent care to patient (2), However, certain hospital-related factors are thought to influence nurses` implementation of the nursing process (3). To assess Nurses` perspective on the effect of certain Hospital-related factors on implementation of the Nursing Process in Chuka level 5 Hospital in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey done at Chuka level 5 hospital in Kenya. Study population were nurses working in Chuka hospital. Simple random sampling was used to get 30 nurses to make the study sample. Questionnaires were employed for data collection. Data summary was done using descriptive statistics and presented in tables. Study participants` mean age was 37.2 (±9.3) with majority being females (46.7% (n=14)), married (76.7% (n=23)), and with diploma qualification (56.7 % (n=17)). The majority of the study participants felt that status of a number of hospital related factors that play critical part in implementation of the nursing process were inadequate with staffing, resources availability leading in the inadequate verdict by over 70% of the study participants. Majority (80%) of the participants felt that the nurse-patient ratio was negatively influencing their ability to implement the nursing process. However, they were more or less equally divided on their perception as to whether each of the remaining factors were influencing their utilization of the nursing process either positively or negatively. The study participants reported the presence of inadequacy of hospital-related factors which negatively impacted on their implementation of the nursing process. Hospital management should prioritize the implementation of the nursing process by allocating adequate resources and proving active leadership on the same, as it is key in the delivery of quality nursing care.

Abstract

Sex is a close physical act between two individuals which includes genital contact. It usually refers to the characteristics and traits of biological sex. In Nigeria, a number of studies have shown that sexual activity among youth is not only high but on the rise. It is based on this premise that the researcher investigates the knowledge and attitude towards premarital sex among senior secondary school students in Ikorodu central, Lagos state. Descriptive research design of correlation type was adopted for the study. (240) public senior secondary school students in Ikorodu Central Local Government Area of Lagos State were selected through a multistage sampling technique. A self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics of independent sample t-test at significance level of 0.05. The findings of the study have shown that there is a high level of knowledge of premarital sex among the respondents and most of the respondents have negative attitude towards pre-marital sex. The results indicate that there is no significant gender disparity in attitude towards premarital sex among secondary school students in Ikorodu. The study therefore recommended the need for comprehensive sex education programs tailored to address misconceptions and negative attitudes towards premarital sex among adolescents, thus promoting healthier decision-making and behaviours in this crucial demographic group.

Abstract

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV may occur during pregnancy, labor, and after childbirth, with 10–15% of the highest risks during breastfeeding. This problem is significant in the Sub-Saharan African countries, of which Nigeria is inclusive, where more than 80% of children living with HIV are found, with over 10,000 new pediatric HIV infections per year and a 26.9% MTCT transmission rate in 2017. Thus, this study assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards PMTCT of HIV. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was employed for the study, a multistage sampling method with a proportional allocation of samples to each Primary Health Care Center, and systematic simple random sampling were used to select 175 study participants. The Instrument for data collection was a self-administered questionnaire developed by the researchers based on the study objectives guided by previous studies, the instrument was pilot-tested and had a reliability Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.738. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, descriptive statistics were used to describe the frequency distribution and are presented using frequency tables and percentages. The study finding shows that the respondent’s level of knowledge is high (62.6%), the attitude was positive (3.1), and practice was good (70.2%) towards the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV respectively. In this study, the respondents' level of knowledge was good, their attitude was positive, and their practice was good for PMTCT of HIV. This finding also reveals that healthcare providers are doing a good job in providing counseling sessions and knowledge of PMTCT to pregnant women attending antenatal care. Though, much is needed to increase their acceptance and use of PMTCT for HIV services.

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder the rate of which has escalated to a global concern. Caring for a child with ASD is associated with a myriad of challenges for parents, who often lack support and practical assistance. However, there is paucity of research on the experiences of parents caring for children with ASD in Eswatini. Therefore, this study describes the lived experiences of parents caring for children and adolescents with ASD in Eswatini. Ten parents caring for children and adolescents with ASD were purposively sampled and engaged in in-depth individual interviews. Data were subjected to content analysis to uncover parents’ lived experiences. Findings revealed that providing care to children and adolescents with ASD was challenging to parents, who usually had neither the knowledge of what they were dealing with, nor the resources for caregiving. In addition, the journey to the diagnosis of ASD tended to be long and anxiety-laden. On a positive note, parents viewed the caring experience as their portion from God; and therefore, appreciated their children as gifts from God deserving of love. Although they appreciated some degree of support from within the family and from outside the family, parents expressed a dire for financial and welfare, educational, and health care support. Caring for a child/adolescent with ASD is a 24 hours-a-day and 7-days-a-week journey, characterized by daily frustrations and a yearning for instrumental and emotional support. Parents need empowerment through programme and policy in order that they can fulfil the demands of caregiving.

Abstract

The incidence of stunted (short) toddlers is the main nutritional problem faced by Indonesia based on Nutritional Status Monitoring (PSG) data for the last three years. This thesis aims to determine the distribution of environmental sanitation and hygiene behavior on the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This research uses a quantitative approach with the technique of distributing questionnaires containing statements for each research variable. The research sample consisted of 44 mothers of toddlers who had children with stunting. The results of the research show that there is no relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of stunting in Baduta in the Industrial Area of ​​the Citangkil II Health Center, Cilegon City, with a value of p = 0.054 which is greater than α = 0.05, which can be interpreted as meaning that there is no relationship. There is a significant relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of stunting in Baduta with an Odds Ratio value of (OR) = 4.048, and there is a relationship between hygiene behavior and the incidence of stunting in Baduta in the Industrial Area of ​​the Citangkil II Health Center, Cilegon City, with a p value of more than 0.008. smaller than α= 0.05 which can be interpreted as meaning that there is a significant relationship between hygiene behavior and the incidence of stunting in Baduta with an Odds Ratio value of (OR) = 1.929.The conclusion in this study is that hygiene behavior factors are related to the incidence of stunting but vice versa with environmental sanitation. Several things that can be suggested based on the research results are socializing hygiene practices in the community.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem characterized by low medication adherence, which can lead to drug resistance and treatment failure. Optimism, emotional factors, and health worker services are believed to play a significant role in adherence among pulmonary TB patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship between optimism, emotional factors, and health worker services with medication adherence for pulmonary TB patients at Bades Community Health Center. This correlational study uses a cross-sectional design and involves 21 pulmonary TB patients in categories 1 and 2 who meet the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using linear regression tests to evaluate the relationships between variables. The results show that most respondents have a good level of optimism (66.7%), good emotional factors (61.9%), and receive good healthcare services (81%). Medication adherence among pulmonary TB patients is categorized as adherent in 57.1% of respondents. Bivariate analysis indicates a significant relationship between optimism (p=0.000), emotional factors (p=0.000), and health worker services (p=0.008) with medication adherence for pulmonary TB patients. The multivariate analysis reveals that emotional factors have the strongest influence on adherence, with a beta value of 0.751, indicating that emotional conditions, such as fear, anxiety, or motivation, play a crucial role in influencing patients' adherence to treatment. In contrast, optimism has a lower impact with a beta value of 0.320, while health worker services show a negative association with adherence (beta = -0.254). The emotional factor has been found to have the greatest impact on patient adherence at Puskesmas Bades, while optimism and the quality of healthcare service have a lesser effect. The negative beta value for healthcare service suggests that service quality may need improvement. The focus should be on enhancing emotional support and evaluating service quality to improve patient adherence.

Abstract

A menstrual cup is a menstrual hygiene product that collects the menstrual discharge into a container made from silicone or latex, which is elastic and reusable. Although menstrual cup use is becoming increasingly widespread in menstrual hygiene management due to environmental sensitivity and numerous positive features, it is still an unknown method in Türkiye. This study, therefore, set out to determine Turkish women's use of menstrual cups and the factors affecting it. The study sample, recruited through the snowball sampling method, consisted of 306 Turkish women aged between 18 and 49, and the data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Menstrual Hygiene Product Use Assessment Form, and Menstrual Cup Knowledge Level Assessment Form. The results indicated that the rate of menstrual cup use was 16.3%, and all the women using it were found to have sexual experience. It was discovered that cup users have higher satisfaction with their menstrual hygiene products since they are unnoticeable, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, non-infectious, non-restrictive to actions, and comfortable. Further, the presence of pain during menstruation and the variables of the menstrual hygiene product's noticeability through clothes, impact on environmental pollution, potential for causing infections, and restriction of actions are significant predictors of menstrual cup use. Significant differences were also detected between cup use and women's employment status, sexual experience, experiences during menstruation, pain during menstruation, social activity restrictions during menstruation, and recommending the product to others. To promote the widespread use of menstrual cups as a menstrual hygiene product, it is recommended that midwives, as primary advocates for women's reproductive health, conduct awareness and usage enhancement initiatives.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of parenting styles, grounded in the Health Belief Model (HBM), on the personal hygiene practices of school-aged children in the Bangka region of Indonesia. Personal hygiene is critical for preventing diseases, particularly in children aged 6-12, who are at higher risk of exposure to disease-causing environments such as schools. Using a cross-sectional design, the study collected data from 80 parents and children through validated questionnaires, examining how different parenting styles—authoritarian, permissive, and democratic—affect children’s hygiene habits. The results indicate a strong correlation between parenting style and children's hygiene practices, with authoritarian parenting being the most prevalent (40%) and showing the highest adherence to hygiene routines. Additionally, the study found a significant positive relationship between parents' awareness of hygiene-related health risks and their children’s hygiene behaviors. The findings suggest that parental engagement and health beliefs play a crucial role in shaping children’s hygiene habits. These results have important implications for public health policies and parental education programs, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions that improve parental health literacy and promote balanced parenting styles to ensure long-term hygiene habits in children. The study calls for further research into culturally appropriate educational strategies that support parental involvement in promoting child health in regions with high incidences of hygiene-related diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the migration intention of nursing students and the factors affecting it in Türkiye and the Philippines. A total of 284 nursing students were included in this descriptive study. The "Personal Data Form" was used for data collection, which included questions about the participants' sociodemographic characteristics and their intention to migrate. 87% of the students stated that they intend to migrate abroad. The three most frequently indicated reasons for migration are inadequate nursing salaries (73.6%), insufficient increase in salary relative to inflation in the country (60.6%), and unequal wage distribution (55.3%). Nursing migration will inevitably increase over time and create problems in health service delivery among many countries. Nurses will tend to migrate to countries with better conditions, especially with the difficult working conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the nurse migration continues, the increasing shortages in the number of nurses in the emigrant countries cause nurses to work in heavier conditions and longer shifts, preventing the provision of quality and adequate health services. To reduce nursing migration, policymakers must produce solutions by considering the reasons that lead to migration.
