Abstract

Premature and low birth weight (LBW) infants will increase the risk of mortality, morbidity, and disability, resulting in psychological distress felt by parents. The purpose of this scoping review is to map published articles related to the psychosocial conditions of parents who have premature and LBW infants, especially in developing countries. This study employed PCC Framework (Population, Concept and Context), Prisma ScR checklist, 3 databases (PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Taylor & Francis) and 1 gray literature (Research Rabbit), published from 2019-2024, in English, original articles, free full text, articles from developing countries and used quantitative and qualitative methods. This study used the keywords “Parents” AND “Low birth weight” OR “Psychological wellbeing” OR “Parental stress” OR “Psychosocial health” AND “Developing Countries”. This scoping review used JBI Critical Appraisal Tools such as the Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional and Qualitative Research. Of the 1,939 articles selected through the Prisma Flowchart and Critical Appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), 9 articles were found suitable. This study focused on social support provided to parents to reduce psychological problems and disorders and improve quality of life. This study highlights the importance of parents’ support in preterm and LBW infants in developing countries, in order to minimize their psychological problems and disorders. The author suggests that the use of a qualitative research method for the next research should be applied to explore the psychological conditions of fathers who have premature and LBW infants in developing countries comprehensively.

Abstract

Workplace violence against nurses in Emergency Departments (ED) is a universal problem that impacts the well-being of staff and quality of care, specifically in Mosul City, Iraq, where healthcare workers continuously report aggression. The present study assesses experiences of workplace violence against ED nurses in Mosul, its characteristics and types, along with effective interventions by targeting factors contributing to the underlying reasons. A quantitative, cross-sectional study with 111 nurses from four large public hospitals in Ninevah, Mosul. Demographic data, experience of violence, causes, and perceptions concerning the attitude of nurses relating to reporting and retaliation were determined from the demographic questionnaire and a structured questionnaire based on the Workplace Violence in Healthcare Scale (WVHS), which had been previously validated. Primary data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics. Verbal abuse and physical assault (78%) were the most common types of violence, followed by sexual harassment, bullying, and racial/ethnic harassment. Emergency department overcrowding was associated with an increased likelihood of staff reporting being cut, stabbed, or shot, with at least one contributing factor in all eight categories. More than half of nurses (53.2%) reported experiencing moderate workplace violence, which caused difficulties with physical health, caregiver functioning, and relationships. Workplace violence in Mosul Emergency Departments is a widespread and multi-faceted issue that will require whole-system approaches, such as improved staffing, targeted training, and legal protection, to improve the safety of work areas

Abstract

Gastritis is characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dull epigastric pain, upper abdominal discomfort, early satiety, and loss of appetite. Some patients also report dizziness and neck discomfort. Without proper treatment, gastritis may progress to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), causing severe symptoms such as chest pain, heartburn, and sleep disturbances, which can significantly reduce productivity. Gastritis commonly affects individuals in their productive years, including students, due to irregular eating patterns, poor sleep quality, and high stress levels. This study aims to identify the dominant risk factors contributing to gastritis among nursing students. The research of an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. A total of 107 students were purposive sampling technique based on inclusion criteria: being active nursing students with a history of gastritis. Data were collected using dietary patterns questionnaires, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS), and gastritis symptoms questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression with a significance level of p<0.05. Results indicated that 52.3% had poor dietary patterns, 90.7% had poor sleep quality, and 26.2% experienced stress. Logistic regression analysis revealed that stress was the most dominant risk factor (OR=11.78; 95% CI: 3.72–37.29; p<0.001), followed by dietary pattern (OR=2.49; 95% CI: 1.02–6.08; p=0.046), while sleep quality showed no significant association (p=0.448). In conclusion, stress is the primary risk factor for gastritis among nursing students. Therefore, stress management and lifestyle interventions are necessary to prevent gastritis and promote students' well-being.

Abstract

Therapeutic touch is a form of non-verbal communication, but its delivery in clinical settings often does not align with patient needs. Understanding the perspectives is essential to optimise its use in nursing care. Explore the experiences of Indonesian patients with chronic illness in receiving the therapeutic touch during hospitalisation. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Eight patients with chronic disease were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth audio recordings and analyzed thematically. Results: Four themes emerged: Nurses’ ways of providing touch – techniques, intention and manner of initiating touch; Effects of touch – emotional comfort, reduced anxiety and perceived support; Timing of touch – appropriate moments when touch is expected or meaningful; Cultural and belief influences – feelings of shame, religious considerations and personal boundaries. Most of the patients expressed positive perceptions of therapeutic touch and acknowledged its benefits for comfort and connection. However, some hesitated due to cultural norms, religious values, or limited prior experience. Patients emphasised their right to therapeutic touch when nurses provide care, especially when it conveys empathy and genuine care. Practice Implications: Nurses should strengthen their use of therapeutic touch as part of holistic care. Health professionals are encouraged to integrate therapeutic touch intentionally and sensitively during hospitalisation.

Abstract

Effective pain assessment in emergency departments (EDs) is essential to optimizing patient care and improving outcomes such as satisfaction, reduced hospitalization, and lower re-admission rates. This evidence-based critical review aims to explore the relationship between pain assessment practices in EDs and resulting patient outcomes. A systematic search was conducted across three electronic databases—PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science—using the keywords "Emergency department AND Pain assessment AND Patient outcomes” using a structured PICO approach: Population (P) – ED patients, Intervention (I) – pain assessment, Control (C) – none, Outcome (O) – positive clinical and satisfaction-related outcomes. Inclusion criteria comprised original research articles published in English between 2005 and 2025 that focused on pain assessment in emergency settings and reported outcomes such as patient satisfaction, readmission rates, or clinical improvements. Exclusion criteria included non-English publications, studies outside the ED context, and non-original research. Article selection involved initial identification, duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment. Out of 21,317 retrieved articles, 6,957 unique records remained after duplicate removal. The studies involving a total of 54,511 patients. Findings demonstrated that structured pain assessment and timely analgesic intervention led to significantly improved patient satisfaction, reduced emotional distress, better adherence to medical instructions, decreased rates of hospitalization, a higher likelihood of administration potent pain medication, ED Length of Stay, ED charges, and ED revisits. This review reinforces the vital role of effective pain assessment in emergency care settings. Evidence indicates that structured and timely pain management not only enhances patient comfort but also contributes to better clinical outcomes, higher satisfaction, and reduced healthcare utilization.

Abstract

Clinical practice is an essential component of nursing education, aimed at developing students’ competencies in real healthcare settings. The role of clinical nurse mentors is a key external factor influencing the success of students in achieving clinical competence. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between nursing students’ perceptions of nurse mentoring and their clinical competence achievement. This type of research is quantitative correlative analytic with a cross-sectional research design, namely by measuring variables at a certain time. The sample consisted of 82 nursing students from University A who had completed their clinical practice, selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a questionnaire on students’ perceptions of nurse mentoring and a clinical competence achievement questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that most students had a positive perception of nurse mentoring (86.6%) and achieved clinical competence in the "good" category (93.9%). A significant relationship was found between students’ perceptions of nurse mentoring and their clinical competence (r = 0.698; p < 0.05), with the evaluation domain showing the strongest correlation (r = 0.650). These findings suggest that the more positive students’ perceptions of their clinical mentors, the higher their level of clinical competence. Associating the role of clinical mentors through training and ongoing evaluation is essential to support effective learning outcomes in nursing clinical education.

Abstract

Sarcopenia is common in older adults and contributes to functional decline, disability, and increased healthcare utilization. In community-dwelling older adults, increased risk of sarcopenia may limit daily activities and negatively affect health-related quality of life, yet evidence from community settings in Indonesia remains limited. This study examined the association between risk of sarcopenia and health-related quality of life among community-dwelling older adults. Cross-sectional study conducted in the working area of Wanasari Public Health Center, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, February–March 2025. Community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years (n=305) were recruited by consecutive sampling. Risk of sarcopenia was measured using the SARC-CalF (SARC-F plus calf circumference) questionnaire; health-related quality of life was measured with the EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol-5 Dimension, 5-level). Validity and reliability testing of instruments in the study sample are reported in Methods. The association between sarcopenia risk (continuous SARC-CalF score) and EQ-5D index score was assessed with Spearman’s rank correlation. The result showed that Mean age 64.65±5.20 years; 61.3% female. A total of 137/305 (44.9%) were classified as at risk of sarcopenia (SARC-CalF), and 168/305 (55.1%) as low risk. Median (range) SARC-CalF = 4 (0–20). Median EQ-5D index = 0.83 (0.41–1.00). There was a strong, negative correlation between SARC-CalF score and EQ-5D index (Spearman’s rho = –0.711, p<0.001), indicating higher sarcopenia risk relates to lower quality of life. In this community sample, higher risk of sarcopenia is strongly associated with poorer health-related quality of life. We recommend routine screening for sarcopenia risk in primary care and further analytic studies to identify independent predictors in this population

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood glucose levels and is a significant global public health problem. Wet cupping therapy is a complementary therapy that supports glycemic control, although community-based evidence is still very limited. This study was conducted to examine the short-term impact of wet cupping therapy on blood glucose levels in adults. This study used a pre-experimental, single-group pre-test-post-test design and was conducted in Wirobrajan Village, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in April 2025. Thirty adults aged 26-45 years who were not receiving glucose-lowering medication were recruited using quota sampling. Blood glucose levels were measured before and immediately after one wet cupping therapy session. A paired-sample t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05 was used to look at the data. The mean blood glucose level dropped from 131 mg/dL before the intervention to 117 mg/dL after, a difference of 14.2 mg/dL. This drop was statistically significant (p = 0.0001). These findings indicate that wet cupping therapy significantly reduces short-term blood glucose levels in adults. Wet cupping therapy can be considered a complementary intervention for glycemic control. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Critical thinking is a fundamental skill in nursing education that plays a crucial role in supporting professional responsibilities, enhancing service quality, and improving nursing performance in the modern era. This study aimed to analyze the dimensions of critical thinking among nursing students and assess the development of critical thinking skills across different academic semesters in the Bachelor of Nursing program at the Faculty of Nursing, IKes Payung Negeri Pekanbaru. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed, involving 264 nursing students selected through stratified random sampling to ensure proportional representation across academic semesters. Data were collected using the Nursing Critical Thinking in Students Questionnaire (N-CT-4), which measures four dimensions of critical thinking. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, with ANOVA employed to examine differences in mean scores among students from different academic semesters. The Intellectual and Cognitive dimension had the highest mean score (M = 131.99, SD = 24.259, range = 70–176), while the Technical dimension had the lowest (M = 18.09, SD = 3.773, range = 8–24). ANOVA results indicated an upward trend in the Intellectual and Cognitive scores, increasing from 130.2 in the 3rd and 5th semesters to 136.5 in the 7th semester; however, this difference was not statistically significant. Although critical thinking skills, particularly in the cognitive domain, showed improvement across semesters, the progression was not statistically significant. These findings underscore the need for more practical, practice-based learning strategies to enhance critical thinking competencies meaningfully. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to evaluate long-term development and the impact of educational interventions.

Abstract

The high prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Timor-Leste reflects vulnerabilities in adolescents’ reproductive health, particularly limited knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward sexuality, which increase engagement in premarital sexual behavior and the risk of unintended pregnancy. However, empirical evidence explaining the role of reproductive health status in linking these outcomes, as well as the effectiveness of video-based reproductive health education in low-resource settings, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video-based reproductive health education in improving knowledge and attitudes toward teenage pregnancy among female adolescents. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 96 female students aged 17–18 years at ESGP de Suai, Covalima, Timor-Leste, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention consisted of a 15 minute reproductive health education video addressing adolescent pregnancy, related risks, and prevention strategies. Knowledge (20 items) and attitudes (10 items) were measured using a validated questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.679 and 0.520, respectively). Effectiveness was defined as a statistically significant improvement in post-intervention knowledge and attitude scores. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test. Significant improvements were observed in knowledge (Z = −8.526; p < 0.001) and attitudes (Z = −8.532; p < 0.001) after the intervention. No significant difference was found between the magnitude of improvement in knowledge and attitudes (p = 0.850). Video based reproductive health education effectively improves adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward teenage pregnancy and represents a feasible intervention for adolescent reproductive health promotion in resource-limited settings.
