<![CDATA[Pain is the most common medical issue that older people face in a long-term care facility. Registered nurses have a critical role in helping residents manage their pain. This research looked at measures to improve pain management practices in long-term care facilities in Ontario. The site for this research was a chosen long-term care facility in Ontario, Canada, a 160-bed nursing home for the elderly that provides various nursing and medical care services. Semi-structured focus group interviews lasting about an hour were done. This study's population consisted of 45 nurses. The researcher chose a sample of 25 registered nurses using a purposive sampling strategy. The data was reviewed using qualitative data analysis to detect recurring concerns. This research revealed the necessity of identifying measures to improve pain management and reinforcing good practices in long-term care homes; better pain management practices are necessary to manage pain in a long-term care home. This study demonstrated the importance of recognizing and overcoming measures to improve pain management and reinforce good practices in long-term care homes. Therefore, improved measures to improve pain management practices are required to manage pain in a long-term care home effectively. Education about safe pain management will help to prevent the undertreatment of pain and its negative consequences. The overall benefits of measures to improve pain management practices in long-term care homes expand nurses' clinical knowledge in the care of residents living in nursing homes.]]>

<![CDATA[Commonly, primiparous are unfamiliar with the experience of dealing with a newborn, nor do they have the competence to take care of them. A high level of self-efficacy will increase maternal competence in dealing with the newborn. The study aimed to (1) determine the level of maternal sense of competence among primiparous women in Jordan, (2) determine the level of perceived maternal self-efficacy among primiparous women in Jordan, (3) determine whether a significant relationship exists between maternal sense of competence and perceived maternal self-efficacy, and (4) identify whether sociodemographic characteristics are significantly related with maternal sense of competence and perceived maternal self-efficacy. The study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational research design. Recruitment was performed at the King Abdullah University Hospital. A total of 89 participants joined the study. The Maternal Efficacy Questionnaire (MEQ) measured the perceived maternal self-efficacy, and the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOCS) measured the maternal sense of competence. Participants had a moderate positive maternal sense of competence and a high level of perceived maternal self-efficacy. Age had a weak positive but significant relationship with a maternal sense of competence. No significant relationships were found between maternal sense of competence and perceived maternal self-efficacy. Maternal self-competence and self-efficacy are significant components that make up a mother's armamentarium to perform parenting skills and make decisions about child-rearing. However, no significant relationship was found between perceived maternal self-competence and maternal self-efficacy. Future research should explore what factors drive low self-competence and self-efficacy among primiparous women. Nurses can assist and support mothers in improving their perceived self-competence levels and help mothers sustain the already high levels of maternal self-efficacy. Interventions must be multidimensional and multidisciplinary, involving other specialties such as midwives, nurses, and breastfeeding counselors.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a chronic disease that is prone to recurrence and disrupts the balance of systemic hemodynamics to cause various serious multi-system complications. This study aimed to analyze the spiritual level in the regulation of resilience and relapse in hypertensive patients. We used a correlation analysis method with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 76 patients who were recorded as coming to the Puskesmas with a sample size of 62 respondents who were taken by simple random sampling. The independent variable was spirituality, as measured using the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES). The dependent variable was resilience as measured by the Nicholson–McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ) and hypertension recurrence. Statistical tests using Spearman’s rank with alpha (α) 0.05. The results of the statistical tests show a significant relationship between spirituality and resilience. The p-value obtained is 0.001 less than 0.05, with a level of closeness of 0.790 or solid. Spirituality is also significantly related to hypertension recurrence with a p-value of 0.011, smaller than alpha 0.05, and a level of closeness of -0.325, which means a moderate level of closeness. Deep spirituality will trigger the strengthening of resilience that regulates the balance of stress and homeostasis of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The physiological sympathetic and parasympathetic systems regulate vascular smooth muscle contractions to control blood pressure and reduce the rate of hypertensive recurrence.]]>

<![CDATA[This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine university students' readiness and anticipation levels regarding the e-learning process. The population of the study consisted of nursing students (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade) in the Health College of a university. No random sampling was performed. Volunteer students enrolled in the department during the 2018-2019 academic year who agreed to participate in the study constituted the study sample. Data were collected using the "Personal Information" form, which included questions about students' socio-demographic characteristics prepared by the researchers based on literature reviews, the “Scale of Readiness and Anticipations for the e-Learning Process", and the "Scale of Satisfaction with the e-Learning Process". Data were analyzed using the SPSS 25 package program. The significance level was accepted as p˂0.05. The mean age of the students was 21.5±1.8 and 67.2% of them were female. The total score average of the readiness and expectation scale related to the e-learning process of the School of Health students (101.14±1.52) and the total score average of the Satisfaction Scale related to the e-learning process (102.96±2.26) were found at a high level. As a result, it has been determined that the students participating in the study believe that they have personal characteristics that can receive education in e-learning environments. In addition, it has been found that students are satisfied with the communication features and usefulness of their e-learning environment.]]>

<![CDATA[The emergence of complications in patients with type 2 DM significantly impacts the quality of life. Resilience as part of self-coping may be connected with the quality of life and the severity of the complications. This study analyzed the correlation between resilience and quality of life in type 2 DM patients with chronic complications. The method was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Thirty-five respondents were recruited in this study using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using Connor Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25) and Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaires and analyzed by Pearson Product Moment (p <0.05). The result showed that the mean value of resilience was 63.06 (±12.47), while the average value of quality of life was 72.46 (±11.78). A strong positive correlation existed between resilience and quality of life (p-value = 0.000; r = 0.782). Increased resilience score equals increased quality of life of type 2 DM patients with chronic complications. Providing interventions to increase resilience is essential to optimize the quality of life in type 2 DM patients with chronic complications.]]>

<![CDATA[The holistic approach in nursing requires consideration of the cultures of patients receiving healthcare. Every individual has the right to receive culturally appropriate nursing care, which is not a privilege but a human right. This study was utilized to determine the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and cultural intelligence in nurses. The study population consisted of 741 nurses working at state hospitals in Northern Cyprus. A stratified sampling method was used to recruit 300 participants. A descriptive information form, intercultural sensitivity scale, and cultural intelligence scale were used for data collection. The mean intercultural sensitivity scale and cultural intelligence scale scores were 76.20±8.92 and 64.72±14.2, respectively. There was a positive and statistically significant relationship between the intercultural sensitivity scale scores and the scores obtained from the cultural intelligence scale and its subscales (p<0.05). Squared partial correlation showed that the place of residence had the highest impact on intercultural sensitivity. The levels of intercultural sensitivity were moderate, but cultural intelligence was low. There was a positive relationship between intercultural sensitivity and cultural intelligence and its subscales. Therefore, we recommend planning in-service training to improve the levels of cultural intelligence and intercultural sensitivity so that nurses can provide high-quality nursing care, avoid discrimination, and establish therapeutic relationships with people with different cultural backgrounds, whose numbers have increased as a result of factors, such as migration or health tourism.]]>
