Abstract

Background: Falls are a major cause of injury and disability among older adults. Tai Chi, with its slow and controlled movements, is a promising intervention for improving balance and reducing fall risk. Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of a structured two-week Tai Chi program on physical performance and fall risk among elderly nursing home residents in East Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post design was used with 20 participants (mean age 66.4±4.2 years; 85% female). Fall risk was assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) before and after a 10-session Tai Chi program. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Pre-intervention SPPB scores indicated high fall risk (Mean=7.8±1.1). Post-intervention scores improved significantly (Mean=9.6±1.0; p=0.046). The proportion of participants classified as "stable" (SPPB 10-12) increased from 0% to 20%. Conclusion: A short-term Tai Chi program significantly improved physical performance and reduced fall risk in institutionalized elderly, supporting its integration into nursing home fall prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that requires effective treatment supervision and support from the immediate environment to achieve recovery. The role of Treatment Supervisors and family support are essential components in the success of pulmonary tuberculosis therapy, particularly in primary health care settings. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the role of Treatment Supervisors and family support with the recovery of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the working area of Poasia Primary Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all pulmonary tuberculosis patients recorded in the Poasia Primary Health Center registry over the past year, totaling 49 patients. A total of 44 respondents were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test and Phi test. Results: The results showed a moderate association between the role of Treatment Supervisors and pulmonary tuberculosis patient recovery (p = 0.006). A moderate association was also found between family support and pulmonary tuberculosis patient recovery (p = 0.006). Conclusion: The role of Treatment Supervisors and family support are significantly associated with the recovery of pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Strengthening the involvement of Treatment Supervisors and families should be a priority in community nursing interventions to improve tuberculosis treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Basic Life Support (BLS) is a series of emergency interventions performed to restore and maintain vital body functions in individuals experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest. Adequate knowledge and skills among school students are essential to ensure that first aid can be provided correctly and promptly, thereby preventing mortality. Purpose: This literature review aims to describe various effective teaching methods used in Basic Life Support (BLS) training for school students. Methods: This study employed a literature review method by searching relevant articles from three electronic databases: PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. The search strategy was developed using the PICO framework. Inclusion criteria included articles published within the last 10 years, focusing on BLS training for school students aged 11–16 years, available in full text, written in English or Indonesian, and using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. The PRISMA flow diagram was used to select articles, resulting in four eligible studies, which were critically appraised using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Results: All four reviewed studies reported that digital-based learning methods were more effective in improving BLS knowledge and skills among school students compared to conventional teaching methods. Conclusion: Various teaching methods have been proven effective in improving students’ knowledge and skills in BLS. Engaging and innovative training approaches can be considered as effective strategies for BLS education among school students.

Abstract

Background:  Compassion fatigue among nurses is a growing global concern that not only affects nurses' psychological well-being but may also compromise patient care quality, particularly pain management. However, the relationship between compassion fatigue and pain management practices remains underexplored.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between compassion fatigue and pain management practices among nurses, and identify predictors of inadequate pain management. Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted with 412 nurses recruited from 10 teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) measuring compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress; and the Pain Management Practices Scale (PMPS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, hierarchical regression, and structural equation modeling.. Results:  High compassion fatigue was reported by 48.3% of nurses. Pain management practices were suboptimal (mean=58.64/100). Significant negative correlations were found between burnout and pain management (r=-0.512, p<0.001), and between secondary traumatic stress and pain management (r=-0.468, p<0.001). Regression analysis revealed that burnout (β=-0.324), secondary traumatic stress (β=-0.286), compassion satisfaction (β=0.298), nurse-to-patient ratio (β=-0.242), and work unit (β=-0.184) were significant predictors, explaining 51.6% of variance. Conclusion: Compassion fatigue significantly compromises nurses' ability to provide adequate pain management. Addressing this issue requires organizational interventions including psychological support, manageable workloads, and compassion-focused training to protect both nurse well-being and patient care quality.

Abstract

Background: Loneliness among the elderly is a critical public health concern associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. In Indonesia, rapid urbanization and shifting family structures may exacerbate this issue, yet data on its prevalence at the primary healthcare level remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of loneliness and identify key demographic correlates among community-dwelling elderly in the working area. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2024. Using consecutive sampling, 109 elderly participants aged ≥60 years were enrolled. Data were collected using the validated Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) and a structured demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions were used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that 74.3% of participants experienced mild loneliness, while 16.5% reported no loneliness, 8.3% had moderate loneliness, and 0.9% experienced severe loneliness. Significant demographic correlates included female gender (72.5%), age 60-69 years (78.9%), elementary education level (47.7%), unemployment status (69.7%), widowhood (51.4%), and low income (<IDR 1,500,000; 87.2%).Conclusion: Mild loneliness is prevalent among the elderly in this community, with distinct demographic correlates. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, community-based psychosocial interventions integrated into primary healthcare services to address loneliness among vulnerable elderly populations.
