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

As the first responders to forensic cases, nurses and midwifes have vital roles in conducting initial interview, physical examination, collecting and recording evidence and maintaining chain of custody. This study aims to map out the evolution of the fields of forensic nursing and forensic midwifery by focusing on the trend topics, the most active journals, top cited authors and publications, author productivity, productive organizations, journals, and countries of collaboration through bibliometric approach. To achieve this aim, we reviewed article title, abstract and keyword categories of Scopus Database using the phrase, «forensic» and «nursing» or «midwifery» and found a total of 2243 publications for the years between 1972 and 2022. As the midwifery publications in the literature are indexed within the «nursing» field, we restricted the research to «nursing» field and found 1385 publications. After removing duplications, we analyzed 1332 research and conducted visualization through ‘VosViewer’ and ‘R biblioshiny’ programmes. Best to our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis which contributes to the related literature and to forensic scientists.

Abstract

The development of PUs consequently results in significant physical, financial, and emotional burdens on the affected patients and their relatives including healthcare providers. This study aimed to assess knowledge of pressure ulcer risk assessment (PURA) and prevention strategies among nurses at University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. A cross-sectional descriptive design among 264 nurses was selected through a simple random sampling technique using a structured pre-tested questionnaire for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The level of significance is set at a p-value <0.05. The mean age of participants was 40.59 ± 9.88 years. Findings revealed that an average of 51.1% of respondents had adequate knowledge of PURA. However, adequate knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention strategies was recorded among just a little above average 67.8%. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed no significant relationship between respondents’ level of education and their knowledge of pressure ulcer risk assessment as well as their knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention strategies (p>0.05). Knowledge of pressure ulcer and prevention strategies was inadequate. Nurses need regular training programs to improve their knowledge and skills in PURA and the prevention of pressure ulcers among at-risk patients according to international best practices in order to bridge the previously identified gaps.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify and compare areas perceived to be high-touch surfaces in patient hospital rooms by ward nurses and inpatients to prioritize cleaning and disinfection of these areas and also to improve hospital environment management. The participants were 122 nurses who worked in general hospital wards and 56 patients hospitalized at a 299-bed general hospital in Seoul. We selected 38 items from the high-touch surfaces identified by patients in previous studies and guidelines and classified them into 4 categories. For each item, the contact frequency was investigated with a self-report questionnaire on a graphic rating scale that contained 11 points. Data were collected from April 1, 2020, to April 30, 2020. The average recognition score of the frequency of high-touch surfaces was significantly higher in nurses than in patients. (5.96 ± 1.47 vs. 2.35 ± 1.98, p<0.001). The top seven high-touch surfaces included intravenous poles, bedrails, bed height remote controls, bedside tables, restroom door handles, bedside personal locks, and restroom seats, and the ranking of these surfaces was different between nurses and patients. While nurses and patients showed a consensus when identifying major high-touch surfaces, there was a big difference in their perception of these areas’ touch frequency. This study will help to understand and establish categories and criteria for high-touch surfaces in the future.

Abstract

During the pandemic process, nurses felt more anxious and nervous compared to other health professionals and were frequently exposed to verbal-emotional-psychological violence. This study was conducted to determine the anxiety levels of nurses, their exposure to violence, and the factors affecting the anxiety and witnessed violence of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The descriptive study data were collected in the period between October 2020 and March 2021 via the online questionnaire published on the Turkish Nurses Association’s website. The study sample consisted of 3,230 nurses. In this study, it was found that the majority of participants in the study were women (83,5%), working 24-hour shifts (49.3%) at hospitals run by the Ministry of Health (68.7%), caring for COVID-19 patients (82.1%). Nurses experienced very high levels of anxiety and were exposed to violence from patients, family members, or other healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, this study shows that nurses experienced high anxiety levels and increased exposure to violence in association with the high number of patients to provide care for, long working hours, being forced to work despite COVID-19 symptoms, working with COVID-19 patients, the fear of infecting family members, having difficulties in caring for family members, financial losses, and the unavailability of changing rooms. In line with the results of this study, the responsibility range of managers and decision-makers is wide in protecting the physical and mental integrity of nurses, anticipating, and addressing their needs and resolving their problems, and managing the nurse manpower and the supply of PPE in accordance with standards so that nurses can provide qualified and safe nursing practices. The findings of this study will help to ensure that nursing care is safe, consistent, and competent, as well as guide future planning.

Abstract

Liver failure, which is common worldwide, occurs as a result of a variety of causes, including obesity, liver disease, high alcohol consumption, hepatitis B or C infection, autoimmune disease, and iron or copper overload. With advanced liver failure, the most common cause of which is chronic viral hepatitis, liver transplantation is the only treatment of choice. Recurrent hepatitis C or B infections occur as a late complication after transplantation. Both can be treated well after a liver transplant. Other chronic liver diseases may also recur. The aim of this case report is to share our knowledge and experience about the disease and the case with our colleagues. The patient's data were collected according to M. Gordon's functional health patterns. Nursing diagnoses were determined according to the North American Nurses Association (NANDA) classification. The patient was 27 years old, male, single, had a university degree, and lived with his family in a large city. The patient, whose mother also had hepatitis B, had undergone liver transplantation in 2008. In December 2021, the patient was admitted to the gastroenterology department because of increased pruritus and icteric manifestations on the sclera. Nursing diagnoses: Risk of infection due to the inability of hepatic Kupfer cells to perform phagocytosis function, fatigue, ineffective individual coping, disturbed body image due to diffuse icteric appearance, impaired liver function, risk of impaired skin integrity, and lack of knowledge. The nursing process was applied according to the identified nursing diagnoses. The patient was discharged 7 days after hospitalization following the determination of drug levels. Patient care is extremely important in the nursing profession. Planning the patient's care according to M. Gordon's Functional Health Patterns Model and conducting data analysis in line with the model's sub-dimensions were observed to solve the patient's problems in a short time, and nursing care was provided to the patient in a systematic manner.

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..
