Abstract

Background: Elderly individuals residing in care facilities possess the potential for low physical activity, frequent illness, a hostile environment, and a lack of self-confidence, causing older people to become anxious, stressed, and even depressed. Unfortunately, no intervention can overcome this problem. Occupational art therapy involves using artistic mediums as a form of treatment and creative processes to help express oneself, improve individual physical and coping skills, manage stress, and strengthen self-confidence. Methods: This research aims to explain the effect of occupational art therapy on depression, stress, and anxiety in older adults in nursing homes. This research uses a quasi-experimental pre and post-test design. The total sample used was 60 respondents, who were divided into intervention and control groups using a sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. Data were collected using the short version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (21 items). Descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, and Paired and Unpaired T-tests were applied for data analysis. Results: The findings of the research indicated that occupational arts therapy could reduce depression scores with an average difference of 8.63, namely an anxiety score of 5.54 and a stress score of 3.59. Data analysis showed that occupational art therapy significantly reduced anxiety, depression, and stress scores (p-value 0.000). Conclusion: Occupational art therapy can be used as a complementary therapy in nursing homes to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress in older people. The findings of this study are expected to help improve services in nursing homes, especially for reducing depression, anxiety, and stress in older people.

Abstract

Background: Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) problems such as the common cold, Otitis Media, and Tonsillitis are standard worldwide and remain a global burden. Bringing ENT services closer to the community remains a key component of reducing the burden of ENT conditions across low and middle-income countries such as Ghana. Yet a shortage of special ENT clinics and specialists to manage these conditions remains. In light of this, the study aimed to assess the effects of non-existent ENT clinics on residents seeking health care at Adankwame Health Center in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used, using a quantitative approach. The population for the study included residents above 15 years who had visited Adankwame Health Center during the study period. With the convenience sampling technique, 100 respondents were selected for the study. Data was collected with a well-structured questionnaire after an ethical clearance had been sought from the Institutional Review Committee. The data collected was analyzed in frequency tables, pie charts, and graphs using Microsoft Excel 2020 data analysis software and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 Results: The study concluded that general knowledge and awareness of the ENT clinic were high among residents who attended Adankwame Health Centre. Some physiological effects identified were hearing impairments, chronic ENT conditions, and delayed speech. Parental depression, probably due to children suffering from delayed speech and language, was the psychological effect identified in this study. Conclusion: The financial burden was seen in all aspects, as respondents complained of the high cost of transportation when seeking ENT care from secondary and tertiary facilities outside the Adankwame community. The Health Directorate of Atwima Nwabiagya North District should prioritize extending the establishment of ENT clinics in rural areas.

Abstract

Background: Nurse productivity is crucial in determining the quality of healthcare services in hospitals. It directly impacts patient care and hospital operations. The implementation of Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Caring, Diligent) and nurses' competencies are factors that can significantly influence the productivity of nurses. The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Caring, Diligent) and nurses' competencies on nurses' productivity at Mojowarno Christian Hospital, Jombang, in 2024. The study assesses how applying these factors enhances nurse performance and hospital service efficiency. Methods: This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between variables at a particular moment. The sample comprises 100 nurses from Mojowarno Christian Hospital, chosen through random sampling. The independent variables include the implementation of Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Care, Diligent) and nurse competencies, while the dependent variable is nurse productivity. Data collection was conducted using observation sheets tested for validity and reliability. Ordinal regression analysis was employed to analyze the data. Results: The results of the ordinal regression analysis showed a P-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, leading to the rejection of H0 and the acceptance of H1. This indicates a significant collective influence of the implementation of Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Caring, Diligent) and nurses' competencies on nurses' productivity. In the partial analysis, the P-value for the Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Care, Diligent) variable was 0.024, less than 0.05, suggesting a significant influence on nurses' productivity. The P-value for nurses' competencies was 0.000, indicating a significant partial effect on productivity. Conclusion: The study concludes that both the implementation of Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Caring, Diligent) and nurses' competencies have a significant impact on nurses' productivity at Mojowarno Christian Hospital. The results underline the importance of fostering a strong work culture and continuously improving nurses' competencies to enhance productivity and the overall quality of healthcare services. Hospitals should prioritize these factors to ensure efficient and effective care delivery, improving organizational outcomes. Keywords: Work Culture (Concise, Neat, Clean, Care, Diligent), competency, productivity.
