Abstract

Introduction: Work stress is a significant issue that can adversely impact both physical and mental health, particularly among healthcare professionals like nurses. It often arises from high patient demands, heavy workloads, and emergency situations requiring quick responses. Objective: This study aims to describe the level of work stress experienced by nurses in the inpatient ward of So'e Regional General Hospital and to identify the associated symptoms. Method: The research employed a descriptive design with a quantitative approach, utilizing a case study format. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect data, involving 115 respondents who work in the inpatient ward. Result: The findings revealed that the majority of nurses experienced work stress categorized as mild, with only a small percentage reporting moderate or severe stress levels. Additionally, the data indicated that the prevalence of physiological, psychological, and behavioral symptoms among the respondents was generally low, suggesting that while stress is present, it may not be at a level that significantly affects their overall health. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of understanding work stress conditions among nurses. The results provide a foundational overview that can inform the development of targeted stress management interventions in healthcare settings. By addressing these issues, hospitals can improve nurse well-being and enhance the overall quality of healthcare services, ultimately benefiting both staff and patients.

During this period, children transition from exclusive breastfeeding to other foods that support their nutritional needs.

Results: The majority of children (70%) who received adequate and timely MP-ASI had good nutritional status. Children who did not receive adequate or timely MP-ASI showed higher rates of malnutrition. Chi-square analysis showed a significant relationship between MP-ASI provision and nutritional status (p<0.05).

Abstract

Family planning is a health service that helps individuals and couples control fertility, prevent unplanned pregnancies, and determine the number and spacing of children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), injectable contraceptives are the most widely used method globally, accounting for 35.3% of contraceptive users. Despite their effectiveness, injectable contraceptives are associated with side effects, including changes in the menstrual cycle, which can lead to anxiety among users. This case study aims to scientifically document nursing care for mothers using injectable contraceptives, focusing on the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive nursing assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, evaluation, and documentation to support maternal and family health. The descriptive case study method was applied to explore changes in the menstrual cycle and anxiety in mothers using injectable contraceptives. Data collection involved interviews, physical examinations, observation, document review, demographic data, and quality of life questionnaires. Data validity was maintained using credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability criteria. Ethical considerations included informed consent, anonymity, and confidentiality. Data were analyzed systematically to identify key findings. Findings indicated that menstrual disturbances in mothers were linked to the hormonal effects of injectable contraceptives, specifically the impact of progesterone on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, leading to suppression of ovulation and alteration of menstrual patterns. Nursing interventions contributed to a reduction in anxiety and improvement in menstrual regulation. Proper nursing care, guided by structured assessment and ongoing evaluation, can address anxiety and menstrual issues related to injectable contraceptive use. Continued documentation is essential for ensuring the effectiveness and continuity of care.
