Abstract

Introduction The Belt and Road Initiative has increased international student enrollment in China, bringing challenges like diverse student preparedness and cross-cultural adaptation issues. Effective adaptation is essential for students' academic success and mental health, yet limited research exists on medical students' adaptation in China’s prefectural cities. Objectives This study is to examine the levels of cultural adaptation stress, psychological resilience, loneliness, and coping strategies among international medical students studying in clinical medical centers in China, explore the relationships between these factors, and identify the main challenges they face along with their support needs, providing recommendations for future interventions and policies. Design A convergent mixed methods approach was used, with quantitative data collected via “Questionnaire Star” using scales for Cultural Adaptation Stress, Psychological Resilience, Loneliness, and Coping Style. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured focus groups, analyzed thematically. Methods The study was conducted in a medical center in a prefectural city in Sichuan, China, recruiting 25 international students for surveys and 20 for focus groups. Results Mean scores for Acculturative Stress, Resilience, Loneliness, and Coping were 127.4 ± 17.8, 70.0 ± 12.2, 46.2 ± 6.1, and 144.7 ± 15.9, respectively. Coping correlated positively with resilience (r = 0.464, P < 0.05) and negatively with loneliness (r = -0.450, P < 0.05). Four themes emerged: motivations for studying in China, cross-cultural experiences, challenges, and training needs. Conclusion Students from Belt and Road Initiative countries face adaptation challenges in China. Enhancing coping strategies and providing targeted support may improve their cross-cultural adaptation and well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Nursing, a cornerstone of healthcare, is often overshadowed by stereotypes and misconceptions that influence public perception. Objectives: This study delves into the evolving image of Filipino nurses in the post-COVID-19 era, a period marked by the transition to long-term management after the lifting of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) status. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach, surveying 400 permanent residents of Iloilo City. The Image Scale of the Nursing Profession (ISNP) was employed for data collection, and the analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Socio-Behavioral Science Research Ethics Review Committee (SBSRERC), ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of the data. Results: Results indicated a generally positive public perception of nurses across sociodemographic groups, with particularly favorable views in the Professional Qualifications and Status subscales. However, the Education subscale reflects a less favorable public perception. Significant differences were observed across sociodemographic factors, with positive perceptions associated with non-hospital care before the pandemic and hospital care in the past year. Conclusions: While the public in Iloilo City views nurses positively post-pandemic, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in working conditions and addressing gender biases. Strengthening public awareness of nursing education and research competencies through targeted information campaigns is essential for improving the profession’s image.

Abstract

Introduction: Disasters pose significant risks to communities, impacting safety, health, and preparedness. Angeles City frequently experiences natural hazards, necessitating an assessment of residents' disaster awareness, preparedness, and beliefs. Objectives: This study evaluates these aspects among residents in six selected barangays, identifying gaps and the role of disaster nursing in healthcare response and education. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was utilized, selecting 396 respondents through cluster sampling. Communities were divided into streets, randomly chosen via the fishbowl method, with all households on selected streets included. A 91-item questionnaire integrating the Disaster Awareness and Preparedness Questionnaire and the General Disaster Preparedness Belief Scale was used for data collection. Researchers conducted house-to-house surveys, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation through SPSS version 29. Results: Indicate moderate disaster awareness (x̄=3.49), with high awareness of typhoons, earthquakes, fires, and floods, but lower awareness of volcanic eruptions and landslides. Preparedness is generally high (x̄=4.22), with typhoons ranking highest and landslides lowest, though gaps remain in evacuation and safety practices. Disaster belief is notably high (x̄=3.80), with perceived benefits scoring highest and perceived barriers lowest. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between awareness and preparedness (r=.37), awareness and belief (r=.25), and preparedness and belief (r=.38), all at p<.001. Conclusions: These findings underscore the interconnection of knowledge, action, and perception, and highlight the vital role of nurses in advancing disaster preparedness through education, early warning systems, training, and community engagement.

Abstract

Introduction: Clinical teaching is an essential component in nursing education in bridging theory and practice. Nurse preceptors play vital role in guiding nursing interns in clinical practice. Objectives: Study aimed to examine the relationship between the perceived levels of confidence, competence, and effectiveness of clinical teaching among nurse preceptors in government hospitals in the southern region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The method used in the study was descriptive quantitative correlation design. Data were collected electronically utilizing adopted questionnaires. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM), using maximum likelihood estimation was conducted to analyze the interrelationships between and among clinical teaching confidence, competence, and effectiveness. Results: The dimensions of confidence and competence in clinical teaching were correlated with one another, with correlation coefficients (r-value) ranging from 0.22 to 0.33, and p-value of 0.003. In a similar vein, confidence had moderate to high linear associations with effectiveness in clinical teaching, with correlation coefficients (r-value) varying from 0.24 to 0.44, β=0.48, p=0.004. In contrast, findings showed that the correlation coefficients (r-value) ranged from 0.01 to 0.17 for the competence and effectiveness in clinical teaching, and were not statistically significant (β=–0.06, p=0.591). Conclusions: Clinical teaching confidence significantly influences effectiveness, while competence alone does not guarantee teaching quality. Although many nurse preceptors are skilled clinicians, they may lack formal teaching expertise. Structured training programs that strengthen pedagogical skills and emphasize effective clinical teaching practices are recommended to enhance preceptor effectiveness and support the development of students’ clinical competency.

Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare communication robots are being introduced in hospitals and nursing homes in Japan. To facilitate their implementation in such settings, it is essential to explore healthcare communication robots-related issues. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the utilization of healthcare communication robots and identify issues related to their use immediately after introduction and 2 years later. Methods: In August 2022, focus group interviews were conducted with 11 healthcare providers (seven nurses, two occupational therapists and two care workers) at a cooperating facility for 1 h to discuss concerns related to the use of healthcare communication robots immediately after their introduction and 2 years later. The interviews were recorded using an IC recorder, transcribed, and analyzed. Results: Immediately after the introduction of Pepper a humanoid robot that supports users’ daily lives by providing recreation and conversation medical staff, particularly those responsible for managing Pepper, reported finding it “difficult to operate Pepper” and feeling “confused by the unfamiliar tasks.” Two years later, the medical staff recognized the benefits of Pepper’s use in recreational activities. Furthermore, patients at the facility looked forward to these activities. Conclusion: Although positive outcomes were observed, several challenges remained, including “Pepper’s inadequate interactive communication,” “hesitancy to handle the expensive and heavy Pepper,” “safety concerns,” and “periodic updates and malfunctions.”

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease characterized by systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg and may cause serious complications in vital organs. Adherence to antihypertensive medication is a key factor in controlling this condition. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between demographic factors, knowledge, motivation, and adherence to antihypertensive medication among patients at Kebayoran Baru Community Health Center. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 64 respondents. Data were collected using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and analyzed with Kendall’s Tau-C and Chi-Square tests. Results: Most respondents were aged 46–80 years (81%), male (51.6%), had higher education (42.2%), and had lived with hypertension for 1–5 years (75%). Although 73.4% had high knowledge and 85.9% high motivation, medication adherence was low (60.7%). Significant associations were found between adherence and education (p = 0.001), knowledge (p = 0.041), and motivation (p = 0.046). No significant associations were found with age, gender, occupation, or duration of hypertension. Conclusion: Education, knowledge, and motivation were significantly associated with adherence to antihypertensive medication, while other demographic factors were not. Further studies should explore additional variables, such as attitudes, family support, and the role of healthcare providers, as well as develop engaging and accessible educational strategies to improve adherence.

Abstract

Introduction: Human health is increasingly threatened by environmental factors such as wildfires, which have risen globally and in Colombia. Wildfire smoke, rich in fine particulate matter, can trigger respiratory and systemic diseases, especially among vulnerable groups. In Girardot, Cundinamarca, limited awareness and prevention efforts highlight the need to assess the health risks of smoke exposure for targeted interventions. Objectives: This research specifically studies the impact of exposure to wildfire smoke on respiratory health in the population of the municipality of Girardot, Cundinamarca, between 2013 and 2023. The main objective is to determine the level of risk and health conditions associated with wildfire smoke exposure in the participating population. Methods: The methodology consisted of surveys administered to 104 participants, who were selected through random sampling. Participants provided sociodemographic information, information on their exposure to wildfire smoke, and information on the presence of respiratory symptoms. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including chi-square and odds ratio (OR) tests with 95% confidence intervals. Microsoft Excel and R, version 4.4.1, were used for statistical data analysis. Results: The results reveal that nighttime exposure to wildfire smoke is associated with the onset of respiratory symptoms. Likewise, it was identified that workplace smoke exposure is also linked to the presence of respiratory symptoms. Conclusion: Therefore, the importance of adopting and implementing preventive, educational, and biosafety measures to mitigate and protect the health of the population in the event of future wildfires is highlighted. The negative effects of wildfire smoke inhalation on health are highlighted.

Abstract

Introduction: Traditional discharge education for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients tends to be brief and one-way, often leaving gaps in knowledge, self-care, and emotional support. The LEARNS model, a structured and interactive health education programme, may be more effective in addressing these needs and improving patient outcomes. Objective: To assess the impact of a LEARNS-based nursing education program on anxiety, depression, self-care ability, disease knowledge, and health-related quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial conducted at a tertiary hospital in 2024, 120 adult IBD inpatients were randomly assigned to either 12 weeks of LEARNS-based education combined with standard care (n = 60) or to standard care alone (n = 60). We assessed anxiety (Zung Anxiety Scale), depression (Zung Depression Scale), self-care ability (ESCA), disease knowledge (CCKNOW), and quality of life (IBDQ) at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. Results: After 12 weeks, the LEARNS group showed significantly lower anxiety (27.2 ± 5.0 vs. 32.0 ± 6.2, p < 0.001) and depression (31.7 ± 7.6 vs. 36.8 ± 9.6, p = 0.012) scores. Additionally, the LEARNS group had significantly higher self-care scores (130.2 ± 17.3 vs. 117.8 ± 13.6, p < 0.001) and knowledge scores (15.6 ± 3.0 vs. 12.9 ± 2.6, p < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in quality-of-life scores (IBDQ) (p = 0.83). Conclusion: The LEARNS health education model significantly improved anxiety, depression, self-care, and disease knowledge in IBD patients over 12 weeks. However, there was no significant improvement in quality of life, which highlights the need for further studies with longer follow-up to explore the long-term effects of the intervention. Integrating this patient-centered education approach into routine clinical practice can provide enhanced support for patients, but future multicenter studies with extended follow-up are necessary to confirm the lasting impact on quality of life.
