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

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is characterized by muscle weakness or flaccid paralysis followed by low potassium levels (less than 3.5 mmol/L) during the attack. Proper initial management and patient education are mandatory for health workers to manage this case. This study was a descriptive study with a case report approach. This case report includes patients over 18 years receiving health care at the Negara General Hospital and having accessible medical record data. Data collection was carried out consecutively. A case from a 22-year-old man with complaints of weakness in both legs. The examination found lower extremity motor strength 2/2, normal physiological reflexes without pathological reflexes, and a laboratory potassium level of 2.5 mmol/L laboratory results. The patient was then given hypokalemia treatment with KCl intravenously. The patient, in this case, had no clinical condition contraindicated to give potassium. Within 24 hours after potassium administration, the patient showed a significant improvement. Hence, our therapy, in this case, was in line with the theory with a good clinical outcome. Symptomatic therapy in hypokalemic periodic paralysis provides a good clinical outcome. There were no complications or clinical emergencies during treatment.

Abstract

Foot care behavior is essential to prevent the risk of diabetic foot ulcers among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The sociodemographic predisposing factors had determined mainly behavior. The study aimed to analyze sociodemographic factors' effect on foot care behavior in people with T2DM. This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 130 respondents, with multistage random sampling. The instruments used were a questionnaire. The results showed that most of the respondents were 56-65 years (45.38%), women (62.31%), married (86.15%), basic education (46.15%) and income level were less than the district minimum wage (56.92%), Madurese (54.62%), nuclear family type (46.15%), and had foot care behavior in the good category (71.54%). Income level was the sociodemographic factor significantly affecting foot care behavior (p=0.019). Respondents with low-income levels (less than regency minimum wage) showed poor foot care behavior. At the same time, other sociodemographic factors, such as age, gender, marital status, education level, ethnicity, and family type, did not affect foot care behavior (p-value > α = 0.05). The higher the income level, the better the foot care behavior. Providing diabetes education to increase awareness of diabetic patients about foot care is essential to paying attention to sociodemographic conditions, especially income levels. Good foot care behavior can reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcers, minimize morbidity, and improve the quality of life of people with T2DM.

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

Objetivo: Avaliar a interferência da presença do cateter central de inserção periférica (PICC) na medida da resistência (R) e reatância (Xc) em recém-nascidos pelo método da bioimpedância. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, randomizado, cross-over, no qual foram comparadas as medidas de R e Xc medidas pela BIA. As medidas foram realizadas antes e após a inserção do PICC no membro superior direito em sequência imediata. O cálculo do tamanho da amostra (55 RN) foi realizado considerando uma diferença de 10% do valor médio de R e Xc encontrado em estudos anteriores (60 e 5 ohms, respectivamente), ambos com erro alfa de 5% e erro beta de 10%. . As variáveis ​​foram comparadas por meio do teste t pareado e foi adotado nível de significância de 0,05. O trabalho foi submetido e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: Não foi encontrada diferença entre os valores de R (721±172 vs 744±199 - p-valor: 0,085) e os de Xc (45±25 vs 40±13 - p-valor: 0,060) medidos antes e após a inserção do PICC no membro superior direito dos recém-nascidos estudados. Conclusão: A presença do PICC não alterou os valores de R e Xc, permitindo assim a utilização dessa técnica na UTI neonatal, mesmo em RN que necessitem do PICC.

Each respondent was given questions using the interview method and then recorded. There were 2 main topics that were asked, the first topic is the initial condition of being diagnosed with HIV and the secondary topic is the lifestyle and current problems. The results of the interviews found that the sample had suffered from HIV 5-8 years ago due to risky behavior. Diagnosed because he felt the symptoms of a disease that did not cure. Psychosocial complaints stem from internal feelings such as feelings of guilt, having no future, and fear of death. In addition, the problem of external stigma greatly threatens social relations activities with other people. Continuous social support is a basic need. Spending time alone and working became daily activities. HIV community groups are difficult to reach because of distance. Activities do not vary due to physical constraints such as the effects of medication and co-morbidities. Some have tried to exercise but are less successful. Need the right way to reduce the physical constraints felt by PLWHA, psychosocial support is needed to change the mindset of PLWHA. Sustainable programs that can reduce community stigmatization are the key to changing the quality of life of PLWHA.

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

It is important to know the experience of fathers who provide support during childbirth in terms of improving the childbirth results. This study describes the experiences of fathers who participate during their wives’s childbirth in Türkiye. The research design is qualitative and descriptive, based on a phenomenological approach. Research data were collected through online in-depth interviews between January and February 2021. The sample comprised 12 fathers, reached by criterion sampling. The two data collection tools were the Individual Identification Form and the Semi-Structured Interview Form. Content analysis of the research data was conducted using Maxqda. Four themes emerged to describe the father’s birthing experiences: “prenatal preparation”, “fathers’ birthing support”, “emotions experienced during the birthing”, and “fathers’ views of the birth”. The fathers experienced many contrary emotions during the birth process. Fathers have a positive experience from participating during their partner’s birthing process due to the midwife’s support. Fathers who want to support their partners during birth should be informed about the importance of participating in prenatal courses.

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.
