Abstract

Childhood traumas include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect. The impact of childhood traumas on psychological resilience is emphasized. This study aims to examine the effects of childhood traumas on the psychological resilience of individuals. The study was conducted as a descriptive and quantitative study. The study was conducted online between 08.11.2021 and 10.20.2021 with the utilization of the snowball sampling method (322 women, 92 men, total: 414 participants) and with the participants over the age of 18 who agreed to participate in the study. The Personal Information Form, Adult Resilience Measure (ARM), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-33 (CTQ-33) were used as data collection tools. It was determined that the mean score of the participants' Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-33 was 48.45±11.68, and its subscales' mean scores were 8.24±3.86 for emotional abuse, 6.15±2.31 for physical abuse, 7.97±2.56 for physical neglect, 9.29±2.39 for emotional neglect, 6.01±2.71 for sexual abuse, and 10.77±3.90 for overprotection-overcontrol. Additionally, the mean score of denial was determined to be 0.40±0.66. It was determined that the mean score of the Adult Resilience Measure was 81.73±13.59. In general, we can say that the negative experiences experienced by children negatively affect their future lives in the long term.

Abstract

Critical patients with ICU room treatment have high morbidity and mortality. Prolonged use of mechanical ventilation can result in a reduction in the strength of the respiratory muscles. The purpose of this review article is to explain the effectiveness of the implementation of IMT in Intensive Care Unit patients. The research design used the PRISMA guideline with a literature search strategy on the Scopus database (n=10), ProQuest (n=1), Web of Science (n=913), PubMed (n=291), and Google Scholar (n=800), with the keyword "Inspiratory Muscle Training OR IMT AND Intensive Care Unit OR ICU AND Breathing AND Ventilation". The selected articles used the Randomized Control Trial and Quasi-Experimental, Case, and Observational Cohort Study research designs. The year the source of the literature was taken is 2020-2024. The effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training also depends on several factors, including the patient's specific health condition, the type of disease or injury, and the implementation and supervision of the exercise program. One of the benefits of IMT is increased respiratory muscle strength, reduced duration of mechanical ventilation, reduced risk of respiratory complications, and improved quality of life. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) has shown effectiveness in various clinical contexts, including the ICU.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a primary worldwide health concern, partly due to poor vaccine uptake among healthcare workers who have increased chances of occupational exposure. Nigeria has one of the highest burdens of HBV infection, with an estimated 15% prevalence. Hence, the study objective assessed the determinant and uptake of the Hepatitis B vaccine among Health Care Workers (HCWs) in a Government-owned Teaching Hospital in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. Samples were determined using Kish Leslie’s formula. Convenience sampling was used to select 124 healthcare workers. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire with a reliability of 0.723. Data analysis was done using descriptive, and Pearson Chi-Square and results were presented in tables depicting frequencies and percentages. Findings revealed that 62.9% of HCWs had been vaccinated at least once. However, only 10.5% of respondents were fully vaccinated, indicating a notable gap in the HBV vaccination among the different medical cadres. Factors influencing the uptake rate include vaccine availability (98.4%), distance to vaccination center 74.2%), needle prick (85.5%), HCWs attitude (81.5%), lack of awareness (85.5%), and lack of motivation (87.1%). There was a significant relationship between categories of healthcare workers and uptake of the HBV vaccine (p=0.000). In conclusion, the study calls for concerted efforts from healthcare institutions and policymakers to enforce full vaccination coverage among HCWs to mitigate the burden of Hepatitis B infection in healthcare settings, thus safeguarding the health of both HCWs and the broader community.

Abstract

The nursing profession is one of the most important in providing health care; therefore, understanding the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students is imperative. This understanding aids in recruiting, teaching, and mentoring future nurses in the best ways possible. The primary aim of this research was to assess the perception of undergraduate nursing students regarding the nursing profession at Mosul University. A qualitative phenomenological design was done between December 12, 2023, and February 25, 2024. The study employed a qualitative research design in which a proportional purposive sampling procedure, group and individual interviews, and thematic analysis were used in data collection and analysis. In choosing participants for the study, a purposive sampling technique was used in-house, emphasizing undergraduate nursing students at Mosul University. Five open-ended questions were posed to the twenty-five participants, and the questions were aimed at unraveling the participants' views, expectations, and opinions about the nursing profession. The interviews were tape-recorded, and the responses obtained were transcribed verbatim, and themed analysis was conducted. From the study, it can be deduced that students have a favorable attitude towards the nursing profession. Some view nursing as a fulfilling and meaningful employment driven by their desire to help people in need. Nevertheless, some issues are connected with the challenges and tasks inherent in the profession. Therefore, there are other social and cultural factors that influence nursing students' attitudes, some of which include societal beliefs about the profession or stereotypes. Nursing as a profession is usually accompanied by the aim of caring for and improving the quality of life of other people. It consists of patience, taking the side of the patient, and the need to support this patient in enhancing their health. Emphasis is placed on interpersonal communication, interpersonal relations, teamwork, principles of justice and equity, and the overall well-being of each client. Nursing is a relatively safe and provided profession because of the continually increasing need for nurses, but the job is not easy, and people need help in managing the load and combating burnout.

Abstract

Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis, which significantly affects their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the effect of five-finger hypnosis therapy on reducing fatigue in chronic kidney failure patients in the hemodialysis room of Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital. The research design used was pre-experiment with pre-and post-test approaches. The population in this study were chronic kidney failure patients undergoing regular hemodialysis, with a total of 40 patients. The sample consisted of 36 respondents selected through the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) questionnaire to measure fatigue levels and the five-finger hypnosis module for intervention techniques. Data were analyzed bivariate using the paired sample t-test. The results showed that the average value of the fatigue level before the five-finger hypnosis intervention was 31.83, with a standard deviation of 4.98. After the intervention, the respondents' average fatigue level was 25.27, with a standard deviation of 4.53. Data analysis using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant effect between five-finger hypnosis therapy on reducing fatigue levels with a value of ρ = 0.000 (ρ <0.05). Five-finger hypnosis therapy can be integrated as part of a non-pharmacological care program to improve the quality of life of patients in hemodialysis units.

Abstract

During nursing education, professional values are developed in theoretical and clinical education. Nursing students are expected to cultivate professional values when they enter university and continue their nursing practice. This study aims to analyze the professionalism values of Generation Z nursing students. The research employed a descriptive design, including 182 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The research instrument used the Nurse Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) questionnaire. Data analysis used descriptive analysis with data not normally distributed (median). The average age of the students was 21, with a majority being female. The indicators of professional values nursing students’ altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity, and social justice have median values of 31, 30, 50, 46, and 27. The results showed that nursing students who had good and less professional values were in the same amount. This shows that Generation Z nursing students have a different understanding of the current values of professionalism. The results of this study are expected to be a reference in improving the ability of professionalism values in Generation Z nursing students.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) infants represent the second leading cause of neonatal mortality in Indonesia. These infants require intensive care after hospital discharge but are often readmitted due to dehydration, fever, respiratory distress, diarrhea, and vomiting conditions linked to families' inadequate preparedness for home care. Nurses play a critical role in LBW care, delivering promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services through a nursing process that addresses individuals, families, and groups. Enhancing nursing performance in LBW care necessitates the support of health workers and cadres. This support is best implemented through maternal and child health programs focused on preparation, implementation, assistance, monitoring, and evaluation for families managing low birth weight infants. Method: This study employed a descriptive quantitative design, targeting nurses who had managed low birth weight (LBW) infants in the Agricultural Health Center (Puskesmas) Ajung, Sumbersari, Rambipuji, Panti, and Kalisat. A total of 68 nurses were sampled using total sampling with a cross-sectional approach, utilizing a modified Multisource Feedback (MSF) Questionnaire as the research instrument. Results Respondents were aged 20-30 years (13.2%), 31-40 years (42.6%), 41-50 years (33.8%), and >51 years (10.3%). Most held a diploma (69.1%), while 30.9% had a bachelor's degree in nursing (News). Nurse performance in managing LBW infants and home visits was rated good in 63.2% of cases, low in 19.1%, and moderate in 17.6%. Most respondents were aged 31-40 years and held a diploma in nursing. Based on frequency and percentage distribution, 63.2% of nurses performed well.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental phase marked by rapid physical growth, requiring adequate nutrition to support reproductive health. However, many adolescents fail to meet their nutritional needs, contributing to a high prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. In Lampung, the prevalence of CED among women of reproductive age is 11.28%, with Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) reporting even higher rates, reaching 30%. This study examines the prevalence of CED at Darul 'Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Central Lampung, identifies contributing factors, and develops a prevention model. A total of 87 randomly selected female students across education levels participated. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, peer support, fasting habits, length of stay, food recall forms, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements. The findings indicate a 52% prevalence of CED, with significant correlations between CED and knowledge, attitudes, nutritional intake, education, physical activity, fasting habits, and peer support. Multivariate analysis highlights attitudes, fat intake, and length of stay as key factors. The study proposes a prevention model emphasizing behavior change, improved nutrition, and enhanced environmental management to reduce CED prevalence in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

Decreased muscle strength in the elderly often causes a decrease in quality of life and mobility. One intervention that can be done to increase muscle strength is active Range of Motion (ROM) training. This study aims to determine the effect of active ROM training on increasing muscle strength in the elderly at the UPT Social Services for the Elderly in Jombang. This research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The research sample consisted of 36 older adults selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected by measuring muscle strength before and after active ROM exercises for four weeks. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test statistical test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Before active ROM training, most respondents had level 3 muscle strength (61%). After active ROM training, most respondents experienced increased muscle strength to level 5 (75%). The statistical analysis results show a value of ρ = 0.000 ≤ 0.05, which shows a significant influence of active ROM training on increasing muscle strength in the elderly. Active ROM training is effective in increasing muscle strength in the elderly. Therefore, this exercise can be recommended as a routine program to maintain the physical health and mobility of the elderly. Further research with experimental designs and larger sample sizes is recommended to strengthen these findings.
