Abstract

Introduction: Effective Basic Life Support (BLS) is crucial in improving survival rates during emergencies. Current nursing education often relies on traditional methods, which may not fully prepare students for the pressure and decision-making required in real-life situations. Objective: This study explores the effectiveness of manikin-based BLS simulation with scenarios in enhancing nursing students' skills in emergency management. Method: This study employed a one-group pre-test post-test design. Thirty nursing students were randomly assigned to participate in a Manikin-Based BLS Simulation training program. Their BLS skills were assessed using a validated and reliable questionnaire based on the American Heart Association (AHA) 2020 guidelines, administered both before and after the training. Data collection occurred in May 2024. The subsequent analysis will compare pre-test and post-test scores to evaluate the effectiveness of the Manikin-Based BLS Simulation in improving students' BLS skills. Result: Post-training, knowledge improved significantly (p < 0.001), with 93.3% of students achieving 'Good' knowledge and 96.7% passing skill assessments. Conclusion: Manikin-based simulations effectively enhance knowledge and skills, supporting their integration into nursing curricula.

Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy brings physical, psychological, and social changes, emphasizing health and nutrition. While healthy eating is vital, excessive concern can lead to unhealthy obsessions. Elevated stress during pregnancy may influence eating behaviors, making it crucial to explore their relationship. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between obsession with healthy eating and perceived stress in pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 325 pregnant women attending Bartın Maternity and Children's Hospital between September 2023 and February 2024. Data were collected using the Pregnant Descriptive Information Form, Obsessions with Healthy Eating Scale (ORTO-11), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation tests. Results: The participants' mean age was 27.40±4.46 years, with a mean gestational age of 23.70±6.22 weeks and an average weight gain of 6.55±2.60 kg. Of the participants, 60.6% had a BMI of 25 and above. The mean ORTO-11 score was 24.69±2.58, and the mean PSS score was 34.08±3.05. There was no significant correlation between ORTO-11 and PSS scores. However, significant differences in perceived stress and ORTO-11 scores were observed concerning night eating, continuous diet programs, and eating habits outside the home. Conclusion: This study did not find a statistically significant relationship between pregnant women's obsession with healthy eating and their perceived stress levels. However, the findings suggest that maternal eating behaviors and stress may be influenced by factors such as social support and individual coping mechanisms.

Abstract

Introduction: Leprosy is a disease that can cause physical disabilities, which in turn contribute to the emergence of psychosocial problems in affected individuals. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of disability and psychosocial problems among leprosy patients in the working areas of Jrengoan Health Center and Karang Penang Health Center. Method: This study employs an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consists of all leprosy patients in the working areas of the two health centers, totaling 47 individuals. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling method, resulting in 42 respondents who meet the inclusion criteria. Disability levels were measured using an observation sheet, while psychosocial problems were assessed through a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rho statistical test. Result: The results of the crosstabulation analysis revealed that among patients with level 2 disabilities, 12 individuals (28.6%) experienced severe psychosocial problems, while 2 individuals (4.8%) had mild psychosocial issues. The Spearman Rho test indicated a relationship between disability occurrence and psychosocial problems, with a p-value of 0.043 > 0.05. These findings suggest that the higher the level of disability, the more severe the psychosocial problems experienced by leprosy patients. Conclusion: In conclusion, the majority of leprosy patients in this study had level 1 disabilities, but those with level 2 disabilities tended to experience more severe psychosocial issues. This reinforces the notion that as the degree of disability increases, the psychosocial impact on leprosy patients also becomes more significant.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental disorders remain a significant public health concern, often leading to stigma and social discrimination, particularly for families caring for affected individuals. In some cases, shackling (physical restraint) is still practiced due to limited access to mental health services, further intensifying the burden on caregivers. Objective: This study aims to explore the family experiences of stigma and emotional burden in providing care for shackled individuals with mental disorders. Method: A qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach was employed. The study was conducted within the scope of the Pamekasan District Health Office, involving families of mentally ill patients as participants. Inclusion criteria included participants who had cared for restrained family members for over a year, were above 20 years old, willing to participate, and able to communicate verbally. A snowball sampling technique was used, where key informants assisted in identifying additional participants. Results: Participants reported experiencing stigma related to their role in caring for family members with mental disorders who had been restrained. The findings highlight psychological and emotional reactions, as well as how participants navigate daily life amid societal stigma. A key subtheme, "Emotions," describes their emotional responses, which include sadness, anger, shame, and guilt—common experiences among participants. Conclusion: This study concludes that family caregivers of individuals with mental illness face significant psychological distress due to stigma, primarily manifesting as sadness, anger, shame, and guilt. These emotional responses stem from discrimination, stereotyping, and societal labeling. Effective emotional management is crucial in helping caregivers cope and respond constructively to stigma. The findings emphasize the need for supportive interventions to enhance caregivers' emotional resilience and overall well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory condition marked by airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and bronchial spasms, resulting in dyspnea and decreased respiratory efficiency. Postural drainage, a form of chest physiotherapy, has been suggested as a nonpharmacological intervention to enhance mucus clearance and reduce respiratory distress. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of postural drainage therapy in reducing dyspnea among patients with bronchial asthma at the Maccini Sawah Public Health Center. Method: A descriptive case study design was employed, involving two asthma patients observed over three consecutive days. Postural drainage was implemented using three different positions across three sessions per participant. Data were collected through observation using the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale, interviews, and documentation. The effect of the intervention was evaluated by comparing pre- and post-intervention dyspnea levels. Result: Both participants demonstrated a consistent reduction in dyspnea levels following the intervention. On the first day, each respondent exhibited moderate shortness of breath (MRC score: 2), which progressively improved by the third day to a score of 0, indicating no dyspnea. Improvements were also reflected in vital signs, including reduced respiratory rate and more stable pulse. The intervention was well tolerated, and participants reported subjective relief in breathing. Conclusion: Postural drainage is a safe, effective, and easily administered intervention that significantly reduces dyspnea in bronchial asthma patients. It holds promise as a supportive therapy for asthma management and should be considered in clinical practice, especially in community healthcare settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Cancer in children is a major global health issue, with over 400,000 new cases annually. Pediatric cancer treatment often results in fatigue and psychological stress, which may influence hemodynamic status such as pulse, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen saturation. Music and art therapy have emerged as supportive nursing interventions that may help stabilize these indicators. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined music and art therapy on the hemodynamic status of pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This study used a descriptive case study design involving three pediatric cancer patients with varying diagnoses: Hodgkin’s lymphoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, and ovarian clear cell carcinoma. The intervention consisted of simultaneous music and art therapy sessions administered for 15–20 minutes daily over three consecutive days. Hemodynamic indicators, including pulse rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation, were monitored before and after each session. Result: All three respondents showed a consistent decrease in pulse rate over the three days of therapy, indicating reduced physiological stress. However, changes in other hemodynamic indicators, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, andoxygen saturation, were inconsistent across the participants. Despite variability in clinical outcomes, verbal and observational feedback indicated positive emotional responses and improved engagement during therapy. Conclusion: Music and art therapy interventions positively influenced the pulse rate of pediatric cancer patients, suggesting an impact on autonomic nervous system regulation. Although other hemodynamic parameters showed inconsistent changes, the interventions contributed to psychological comfort and may enhance the overall well-being of pediatric oncology patients. Further research with larger samples and extended intervention durations is recommended to confirm clinical significance.
