Abstract

Indonesia is ranked second in the number of Tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide. TB patients and their families experience a complex burden. Hence, support and strengthening TB medication supervisors (Pengawas Minum Obat/ PMO) role is needed.  The aim of this study was to enhance the Community Health Center (CHC)-based PMOs’ role by improving their knowledge and strengthening peer group support. The method used was an action research cycle with four stages. The diagnosis stage was carried out by consensus decision making group with CHC to determine priority problems, namely the need to increase basic knowledge of TB and its treatment. Optimizing peer group was also necessary, as the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 showed that more PMOs from patient families have psychological problems than cadres.  The planning stage was conducted by preparing educational sessions and creating educational media. The action stage was a quasi-experimental (without control, non-randomization)—an educational talk show provided by the TB program manager, pulmonologist, and psychiatrist. Peer groups are also activated by triggering shared media education and discussion. At the evaluation stage, knowledge was measured by giving pre and post-tests (n= 21, total sampling). The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon's Signed Ranks Test showed that participants' knowledge had increased significantly (p=0.000; r=0.59). In conclusion, education can increase PMO knowledge as an initial step to strengthen their role in supporting the success of TB treatment. Innovation, cross-sector assistance, and support are needed to enable the PMO to succeed in the TB program.

Abstract

Several factors influence nurses' preparedness in handling disaster victims. This study aims to identify the factors associated with nurses' preparedness to manage Central Sulawesi disaster victims. Conducted between April and July 2023, this cross-sectional quantitative study involved 124 nurses from Undata Hospital, Anutapura Hospital, Madani Hospital, Bhayangkara Hospital, and Dr. Sindhu Trisno Hospital, selected through total sampling. Preparedness was measured using the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET). At the same time, knowledge, attitudes, and experiences in disaster management were assessed with the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Disaster Management (KAP DM) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using chi-square and linear regression tests. The chi-square results indicated significant relationships between preparedness and knowledge (p=0.004), attitude (p=0.045), length of service (p=0.037), participation in disaster training (p=0.004), and experience in disaster management (p=0.028). At the same time, education level showed no significant relationship (p = 0.075). Linear regression revealed that knowledge had the strongest influence on preparedness. The study concludes that knowledge, attitudes, length of service, disaster training, and disaster management experience are key factors affecting nurses' preparedness. It is recommended that emergency nurses regularly participate in disaster-related training to enhance their ability to provide timely medical assistance, thereby reducing disaster-related mortality.

Abstract

Preschool-aged children who experience hospitalization in a pediatric ward often face a variety of emotional challenges, including emotional exhaustion. Hospitalization is a frightening and stressful experience for children, especially when they are separated from their family and peers. Visual art and animation film therapy have been recognized as effective therapeutic methods for addressing children's emotional exhaustion and stress. Visual arts play therapy allows children to express their feelings, overcome anxiety, and build emotional connections with their surroundings. The study aimed to look at the effects of visual art play therapy and animated films on managing emotional exhaustion in hospitalized preschool-age children. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires given to parents. The result obtained by the treatment group's mean emotional exhaustion score before the action was 32.20, and after the action was 21.80. Wilcoxon statistical analysis, p-value = 0.001. So, it is concluded that there is a significant decrease in children's emotional exhaustion before and after therapy. The conclusion of this study can help improve the care and well-being of preschool children who experience hospitalization, as well as provide valuable insights for health practitioners and educators in supporting the emotional development of children in challenging medical situations.

Abstract

Along with the increasing of orthopedic disorders incidence, the provision of orthopedic nursing care in Indonesia is also increasing. The Indonesian National Nurses Association (INNA) has published nursing care standards as a reference for nurses in providing nursing care and standardizing nursing care terminologies. Standard-based orthopedic nursing care instruments have been developed, but their effectiveness has not been investigated in improving the quality of nursing services and patient safety. This study aimed to identify the effect of the application of 3S-based Orthopedic Nursing Care (3S-ONC) on the quality of nursing services and patient safety. Descriptive quantitative analysis using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest and posttest with control group design, involving 106 respondents (53 control, 53 intervention), recruited by purposive sampling technique. In the intervention group, nurses provided nursing care by applying the 3S-based Orthopedic Nursing Care (3S-ONC) instrument. The study showed that in both groups, most of the nurses were in the early adult category, dominated by female sex and most of them had professional education level. There were significant differences in the quality of nursing services (p 0.046; α 0.05) and patient safety (p 0.000; α 0.05) between the intervention group and the control group after the application of the 3S-ONC instrument. The 3S-ONC instrument can improve the quality of nursing services and the safety of patients with orthopedic disorders in hospitals.The 3S-ONC instrument can be considered for the development of a paper-based or computer-based nursing care documentation system to further improve the quality of nursing services and patient safety in healthcare facilities, especially in hospital.

Abstract

One of the keys to a person suffering from diabetes mellitus being able to live a healthy life like other people without diabetes is to maintain balanced blood glucose levels within normal limits. One important way to reduce blood glucose levels, especially in type 2 DM sufferers, is exercise. This study aims to identify the effect of aerobic exercise, on changes in blood glucose levels. This research is a pre-experimental research with a one group pre-posttest approach. The research sample was 33 people suffering from type 2 DM at the Lingsar Community Health Center, selected using a simple random sampling technique. Each respondent was given aerobic exercise 3 times a week with a minimum duration of 20 minutes. Data on blood glucose levels before and after the intervention were collected using an observation sheet. The results of the study showed that the average blood glucose before the intervention was 162.2 mg/dL and after the intervention it fell to 156.14 mg/dL. The t-test with a=0.05 showed r=0.000. It can be concluded that there is an effect of aerobic exercise on the respondents' blood glucose levels. Aerobic exercise has been proven to reduce the average blood glucose level after this is done regularly. This study results can be an evidenced base for community nursing to promote regular aerobic exercise among people with DM, to help reduce or control their blood glucose.

Abstract

Stunting in children contributes to adolescent nutrition problems because adolescent nutrition affects the health quality of the next generation. Adolescent malnutrition, such as iron and protein deficiencies, impacts reproductive health and increases the risk of giving birth to stunted children. Therefore, it is important to carry out adolescent nutritional interventions to prevent stunting as early as possible. This research aims to produce educational videos that are feasible and effective in increasing knowledge about stunting and balanced nutrition with the target group of adolescents. This research is a Development Research using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The data analysis applied a one-to-one test and a small-group test. The one-to-one test obtained a percentage of 89% indicating that the video design is in a good category with revision. The small-group test reached 92% indicating that it is categorized as very good but some suggestions for improvement are recommended. The suggested revision is not fundamental because it is only related to the selection of vocabulary to be understood better by the target. Another recommendation is the background musical illustrations that possibly distract the targets’ attention. After some improvements, it is recommended that this educational video be disseminated through social media platforms such as WhatsApp Group or Instagram so that more teenagers can access it.
