Abstract

Biomedical waste (BMW) poses significant health risks due to its potential to spread infections and environmental harm. Effective management is crucial to mitigate these risks. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices of senior nurses at a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh regarding BMW management. A descriptive correlational study was conducted from July 2019 to July 2020. Data were collected using validated questionnaires on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge (14 items), and practices (13 items) related to BMW management. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses, were performed using SPSS. The study included 112 senior nurses with an average age of 29.26 years. Majority were female (88.4%) with basic B.Sc. or post basic B.Sc. education (59.8%). The nurses demonstrated varied levels of knowledge (low: 36.6%, moderate: 39.3%, high: 24.1%) and practices (low: 41.1%, moderate: 25.9%, high: 33.0%) regarding BMW management. A significant correlation was found with higher education level in both knowledge (p=0.024) and practice (p=0.049) levels. However, no significant correlations were observed based on age, sex, years of experience, or specific workplaces. The study highlighted gap in knowledge and practices among senior nurses regarding BMW management at the tertiary hospital. Targeted training programs and policy improvements are recommended to enhance BMW management practices, thereby reducing health risks and environmental impact associated with BMW.

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

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the mosquito vector of the Aedes aegypti species. Dengue fever is an endemic disease in more than 100 countries. World Health Organization (WHO) data shows that the number of reported cases of dengue fever has increased more than 8-fold over the last 4 years, from 505,000 cases to 4.2 million in 2019. Based on the Indonesian Health Profile, dengue cases were reported in 2020, and 108,303 cases were recorded in Indonesia. In line with the number of cases, deaths due to dengue fever in 2020 were 747 deaths. In Banten Province, in the last 3 years, there have been dengue fever cases: in 2020, there were 3,132 cases, in 2021, there were 3,125 cases, and in 2022 it fell to 2,798 cases. In January 2024, it reached 1,619 cases; in February 2024, it increased again to 1,933 cases. The method of preventing dengue fever is considered very effective and relatively cheaper compared to previous methods. This method is recommended to the public, namely by carrying out 3M plus activities, namely closing water reservoirs, draining water reservoirs, and burying used items that can collect rainwater. Another way to repel or avoid mosquito bites is by using anti-mosquito medication or spraying with insecticide. This research aims to analyze the effect of health interventions on dengue prevention. The design of this research is cross-sectional. The population in this study was the community in the working area of ​​the Waringinkurung Community Health Center, Serang Regency.

Abstract

Toddlers need a sufficient diet to support their physical and mental development because they grow and develop quickly during this time. Children under five's nutritional status is crucial to their overall health. A child's nutritional health is also influenced by their parents' educational methods and parenting styles. While ineffective parenting can lead to nutritional issues, effective parenting can help children get the nutrition they need. This study investigates how parenting practices affect the nutritional status of children under five. A review of the literature from 2019 to 2020 was conducted as part of this research technique using Google Scholar and the keywords "parenting patterns," "under-five nutrition," and "nurses." The literature review findings indicate a substantial relationship between toddlers' health and nutritional status and how parents raise their offspring. Well-educated children under five typically have better nutritional conditions than those raised in unsuitable ways. Based on this research, their parents' parenting practices significantly influence toddlers' nutritional status. Thus, attempts to improve children's nutritional condition throughout the toddler years must prioritize enhancing the quality of parenting practices.

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.
