Abstract

Background: Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) is a crucial factor influencing nurses' well-being and performance. Although demographic factors, including marital status, are often considered determinants of QNWL, research findings on their impact remain inconsistent. Purpose: To assess whether demographic factors and marital status, have a significant impact on the Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) among nurses. Method: A cross-sectional design involving 72 nurses working in inpatient care units. Data were collected using a validated QNWL questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test to evaluate the relationship between marital status and QNWL. Results: The majority of nurses reported their QNWL as "Good" (93.1%), while a small proportion rated it as "Excellent" (6.9%). Spearman’s correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between marital status and QNWL (r = 0.152, p = 0.203, p > 0.05). This suggests that marital status is not a determining factor in nurses' quality of work life. Conclusion: Marital status does not significantly affect QNWL. Other factors, such as work environment, workload, shift system, and organizational support, are likely to have a greater influence. Further research is recommended to explore additional factors to develop more targeted strategies for improving nurses' quality of work life.

Abstract

Background: Health literacy is one of the most important factors in improving the quality of life of the community. However, in developing countries such as Indonesia, most people have low levels of health literacy, especially in rural areas. This causes inadequate public health management, so the level of community literacy must be considered when designing health promotion programs. Purpose: To investigate the role of health literacy in enhancing health promotion efforts. Method: A systematic literature review study in the context of cervical cancer prevention promotion using techniques based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This study used the PICOS framework (Population = General, Intervention = Health promotion, Comparison = Using a comparison group and not using a comparison group, Outcome = Health Literacy, and Study Design = Various research approaches, experimental studies, mixed methods, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), longitudinal multicentric prospective intervention studies, included in the study design). Results: Health literacy plays an important role in health promotion in various countries according to the literature analyzed. The health literacy rate in China increased from 6.48% to 23.1%. The majority of university students in Portugal have limited literacy levels. According to studies conducted in South Korea and Ethiopia, there is a relationship between health information orientation and health behavior. Children and pregnant women in Lithuania and Thailand experienced significant improvements in their health competencies as a result of parental health literacy and participation in special programs. These findings highlight the importance of health literacy improvement strategies implemented at the local level. Conclusion: Health promotion programs tailored to an individual’s health literacy level have been shown to be more effective in increasing community understanding and encouraging behavior changes that support long-term well-being. Suggestion: Additional research is needed to determine the most effective strategies or approaches that can be used to address health literacy gaps across communities, especially in areas with low health literacy.

Handling child TB cases in Mataram City, in 2022 there will be 184 TB cases in children and in 2023 there will be an increase of 310 cases. Reporting records experienced treatment failure of 43.7%, this condition indicates the phenomenon of implementing the DOTS program in the treatment of TB patients in children. Purpose: To analyse the implementation of the Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse (DOTS) programme in the treatment of children with pulmonary tuberculosis. Method: Qualitative research with an exploratory descriptive design conducted on children with pulmonary tuberculosis in Mataram City. The sources of data and information were 13 informants consisting of: Persons in charge of the TB program at the Health Service, Hospitals, namely pediatricians, Community Health Center TB program holders, Medicine Drinking Supervisors and families of TB sufferers. In-depth interview methods and data analysis through reduction and triangulation, as well as document searches to record and report the implementation of DOTS program activities, including identification and diagnosis, classification and staging of TB, treatment of pediatric TB, treatment, monitoring and evaluation, prevention and education, handling side effects, and drug-resistant TB (TB-RO). Results: The implementation of the DOTS program in handling TB in children is still not in accordance with the SOP. Active screening of new case detection rates is still low, the readiness of professionals in identification and diagnosis, classification and staging of pediatric TB have not run optimally, the implementation process is carried out with a tiered referral system, the logistics of tools and drugs often occur out of stock, TB-RO and drug allergies are found to not be handled properly. Public compliance in treatment is still low and stigmatization is high in society. The government's commitment to handling pulmonary TB patients in children has not been implemented properly. Conclusion: The implementation of the Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) program has not been optimal. The government's commitment to handling TB cases in children has many obstacles and challenges, limited professional human resources, running out of medicines, high absenteeism of TB patients, and high stigmatization of TB disease in society.

Abstract

Background: Coughing is a natural defense mechanism that helps clear the respiratory tract of irritants and pathogens. In addition to being a necessary physiological reflex, coughing can also be caused by diseases that attack the respiratory tract, such as tuberculosis, asthma, pneumonia, acute respiratory infections, and other respiratory diseases. Transmission of the disease occurs when an infected person releases these droplets, which can be inhaled by others. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of flip chart-based health education in improving children's knowledge about coughing and sneezing etiquette. Method: Pre-experimental quantitative research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The sample was selected through total sampling involving Al-Huda Elementary School, Jember. This research was conducted in October-December 2024. The independent variable in this study is the use of flip charts, while the dependent variable is knowledge of cough etiquette. The instrument used was a questionnaire on knowledge of coughing and sneezing etiquette consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions. Results:  The average age of the participants was 8.4 years with a standard deviation of 1.0 in the age range of 7-10 years. The number of male and female participants had the same percentage of 12 participants (50%). The average pre-test score was 55.8 with a standard deviation of 25.7, while the post-test score increased to 75.0. Statistical calculations revealed a z value of -3.7 and a significance level (2-tailed) of less than 0.001. This indicates a significant increase in knowledge of cough etiquette pre-post test. Conclusion: Flip chart media is an effective educational tool to improve children's knowledge about coughing and sneezing etiquette. By providing structured, interesting, and visually appealing content, flip charts improve learning outcomes and contribute to the implementation of better health behaviors.
