Abstract

Nurses are expected to be competent with the ability to perform independently and deliver safe patient care. This paper aimed to report the measures to enhance the clinical competence of new graduate nurses with the intention of improving quality of patient care in public hospitals. This research was a qualitative design with focus group discussions and individual interviews used to collect data from seven public hospitals in three districts of Northwest Province, South Africa, during the period, of September, and November 2021. Thematic data analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The result of this research was two themes with eight sub-themes reported as follows: 1) Dealing with theory and education gaps, and 2) Identify and eliminate organizational and institutional barriers. The conclusion was a theory-practice gap can lead to a lack of confidence and incompetence which will in return hinder safe practice and quality performance. On the other hand, organizational and institutional challenges can compromise support for newly graduated nurses during their transition period. Therefore, attending to the measures to enhance new graduate nurses’ clinical competence will benefit the healthcare facilities, as it would have positive effects on patient care. It is therefore suggested that future studies may use different study methods including the different populations such as the new graduate nurses themselves, and operational managers from the other healthcare facilities such as clinics and primary healthcare centers.

Abstract

Physical changes due to the disease and treatment of breast cancer affect patients' body image and cause significant emotional impacts. Social support is crucial in helping patients cope with these changes, reducing stress, and improving overall quality of life. The aim of the research was to determine the correlation between body image and quality of life, and to assess the relationship between social support and quality of life of breast cancer patients at the Surgical Polyclinic of Raden Mattaher General Hospital Jambi. The research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 61 breast cancer patients, obtained by using the Lemeshow formula and purposive sampling method. The research instruments included the Body Image Scale questionnaire, the modified MOS Social Support questionnaire (MSS), and the EORTC-QLQ-BR23 questionnaire. The univariate results showed that the average quality of life score was 56.70 (moderate category), body image had an average score of 24.18 (moderate category), and social support had an average score of 62.80 (moderate category). The bivariate analysis found a correlation between body image and quality of life with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 and r = 0.940 and a correlation between social support and quality of life with a p-value of 0.003 < 0.05 and r = 0.371. Nurses can improve patients' quality of life by providing education about physical changes, offering emotional support, referring patients to support groups, and involving families in the healing process.

Abstract

Success in providing basic life support to cardiac arrest patients is influenced by self-efficacy related to readiness and confidence in giving first aid. Students as prospective health workers are required to be able to provide basic life support in emergencies. Limited training and direct experience in providing basic life support causes students' skills and self-efficacy to be less than optimal. This study aimed to identify the relationship between self-efficacy and the ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by students. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 107 diploma III nursing students selected using the proportional stratified random sampling technique. Primary data were collected using the General Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaire and basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills observation sheets. Hypothesis testing in the form of Spearman correlation was conducted to identify the general objectives of the study. The results of the study showed a mean value of self-efficacy of 36.06 and a mean value of basic life support skills of 89.00. The results of the Spearman test obtained a p-value of 0.0001 with a relationship strength of 0.813. It is concluded that there is a very strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and basic life support skills, which means that higher self-efficacy in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation is directly proportional to the higher success of implementing basic life support. Researchers hope that nursing students can improve their self-efficacy related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation through regular knowledge refresher activities and basic life support skills training.

Abstract

People with diabetes mellitus are five times more likely to develop cataracts. High blood sugar levels over a long period of time can be one of the complications of cataracts. This was a correlational study with the purpose to determine the correlation between the duration of diabetes mellitus and the occurrence of cataracts in patients with diabetes mellitus at the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Medika Utama Hospital, Blitar. The population in this study was patients with diabetes mellitus who visited the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Medika Utama Hospital, Blitar. The sample in this study was patients with diabetes mellitus who visited the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Medika Utama Hospital within a period of 2 weeks, totaling 56 people. The sampling used an accidental sampling technique. The statistical test used was chi-square. The results of this study showed that the p-value was 0.449, which meant that there was no correlation between the duration of diabetes mellitus and the incidence of cataracts. Several actions that can be taken to prevent cataracts are controlling blood glucose levels by obediently taking medication and following a diet. In addition, routine eye checks are useful in preventing cataracts in people with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Nutritional status is a critical issue for older adults and is closely linked to various health problems. Insufficient or excessive dietary intake can impair the body’s ability to manage physical disorders and diseases, leading to increased weakness in this population. This research aimed to analyze the correlation between nutritional status and frailty in the elderly. This research utilized a cross-sectional design, employing consecutive sampling to gather data from 65 patients in four nursing homes. Participants were elderly individuals over 45 years old, residing in nursing homes, cooperatives, and willing to participate. Sample size determination was performed using G*power 3.1.9.7 software, with a medium effect size of 0.41, a p-value of 0.05, and a power of 0.90. Non-parametric tests were used for data analysis, employing the MNA-SF and Frailty Index Questionnaire-40 (FI-40) instruments. The average age of participants was 75.92 (+9.45) years, with the majority of the sample being elderly, and women constituted 80% of all participants. There was a significant correlation between nutritional status and frailty (p=0.005 <0.05), with a moderate negative relationship (r=-0.344). This research concluded that the better the nutritional status, the lower the frailty level. This research indicated that better nutritional status was linked to reduced frailty in the elderly, highlighting the need for healthcare teams to implement strategies that enhance patient adherence in managing factors that negatively affect nutrition.

Abstract

Bullying has become more prevalent not only among secondary school (SMP and SMA) students but also in primary school (SD) students. Children's physical and psychological development in primary school are the most crucial aspects. However, many primary school students face physical and psychological pressure in social interactions due to bullying. However, they are rarely reported even though they have a detrimental effect on both victims and perpetrators. Bullying is still considered normal in social interactions and is used as a joke and a way to demonstrate strength. One of the causes is primary school students’ lack of comprehension of bullying.This research aimed to determine primary school students' knowledge about bullying before and after receiving health education and analyze the impact of bullying themed illustrated storybooks on primary school students’ knowledge in Kupang to prevent bullying behaviors. The quasi�experimental approach pre-test and post-test with one group design. There were 200 primary school students involved in intervention. The Wilcoxon test results show that the average respondents’ knowledge improvement after being provided with health education about bullying using illustrated storybooks was 78.5%, with a p-value of 0.000. Therefore, it can be concluded that health education using illustrated storybook positively impacts primary school (SD) students’ bullying knowledge in Kupang. Collaboration between various parties, including parents, teachers, schools, and nurses, will continue to provide education about bullying for elementary school children as an effort to prevent bullying behavior in elementary school children.

Abstract

Patients who are delayed in recovery after spinal anesthesia will be transferred to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) which can lead to increased service costs and patient dissatisfaction. Lower extremity motor function recovery time after spinal anesthesia is the time it takes for patients to be able to move from the recovery room to the patient's original room. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of Head-up position to the recovery time of lower extremity motor function in spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room. The design of the study was correlation with a “cross-sectional” approach. The population was post-spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room who meet the criteria. The study used "purposive sampling" with 96 post-spinal anesthesia patients. The independent variable was the head-up position, while the dependent variable was the recovery time of lower extremity motor function. The analysis test used the Pearson correlation test. The results of the correlation test showed no correlation between head-up position and recovery time of lower extremity motor function in spinal anesthesia patients with p-value = 0.099 (>0.05). This was due to the longer the duration of surgery, the faster the effect of spinal anesthesia drugs will run out. It is recommended to apply the results of this study as a review of SOPs related to the intervention of giving a head-up position to post-spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room.

Abstract

Failure to thrive among toddlers results in stunting. One of the contributing factors is not fulfilling nutritional needs. Toddlers prefer to eat snack food with low nutritional content and the sugar content makes children feel full, reducing the portion of food in the main meal schedule that contains balanced nutritional value. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the frequency of consuming snack food and the incidence of stunting. The method in this study used observations with a cross-sectional design. The Population was 232 people, with a sample of 70 mothers of stunted toddlers selected through the Simple Random Sampling technique. The instrument in this study used a questionnaire and was analyzed with the Spearman Rank test with the results (ρ = 0,000 < 0.05) between the frequency of consuming snack food and the incidence of stunting. This study showed a relationship between the frequency of consuming snack food and the incidence of stunting toddlers who consume snack food too often will cause stunting in toddlers. Based on the results, it is recommended that snack foods be given two hours before main meals to help address this issue.

Abstract

The utilization of intrauterine devices (IUDs) remains low in Maluku Province, with a reported adoption rate of only 33.9% in 2020. At the Moti Community Health Center in 2022, IUD usage was recorded at just 0.19%. This study aimed to identify factors influencing the interest in choosing IUD at the   Moti Community Health Center in Ternate City, North Maluku Province. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, the research employed multistage random sampling involving 66 women of reproductive age (WRA). Data collection utilized questionnaires and interviews, with statistical analysis including univariate and bivariate analyses using Chi-Square tests. Out of 66 respondents, 19 (28.8%) expressed interest in choosing IUD, while 47 (71.2%) did not. Chi-square analysis revealed significant correlations between interest in IUD and variables such as knowledge (p-value 0.002), attitude (p-value 0.031), education (p-value 0.027), husband's support (p-value 0.000), and acceptance of birth control information (p-value 0.001). However, parity showed no significant association (p-value 0.624) with mothers' interest in choosing IUD at the Moti Health Center in Ternate City, North Maluku Province. Significant relationships were observed for variables like knowledge and attitude, whereas parity did not demonstrate a notable link. Increasing IUD adoption among WRA requires enhanced education, family involvement, flexible services, and competent healthcare providers. Encouraging husbands’ participation, structured counselling, home visits, and incentives can boost uptake. These findings highlight the need for training the staff, and collaborating with community leaders to increase IUD adoption.
