Abstract

Background: Having a child admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) is an extremely distressing experience for parents. This heightened stress can negatively affect their mental health and their capacity to support their child's recovery process. To address this, a range of interventions aimed at empowering parents has been developed. Nonetheless, a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of these interventions in alleviating parental stress is still lacking. Purpose: To evaluate different parent empowerment strategies used in pediatric critical care settings and examine their effects on reducing stress among parents. Method: A systematic review was carried out, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for selecting relevant studies. The review began with formulating clinical questions and defining PICOS criteria—P (Population): parents of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU); I (Intervention): empowerment strategies for parents; C (Comparison): routine care without empowerment or parent groups not receiving targeted interventions; O (Outcome): parental stress levels during ICU hospitalization; S (Study design): randomized controlled trials. The literature search used specific keywords, including: “Parent Empowerment,” “Family Centered Care,” “Pediatric Intensive Care,” “PICU,” “NICU,” and “Parental Stress.” Results: Interventions involving educational support, parental empowerment, and family engagement contribute to better mental health outcomes for parents, particularly enhancing their ability to care for critically ill or premature infants in the NICU. Conclusion: Empowerment strategies in pediatric intensive care settings are effective in lowering stress among parents. This review underscores the importance of educational initiatives, family involvement, supportive empowerment techniques, and digital tools such as telenursing in promoting parents' psychological resilience and participation in infant care.

Abstract

Background: Coumarin is a natural compound found in various plants, including Cinnamomum cassia and Cinnamomum zeylanicum, and has been widely studied for its potential role in metabolic regulation, particularly in diabetes mellitus type 2. While coumarin has shown potential benefits in improving glycemic control, concerns regarding its hepatotoxic and carcinogenic effects remain. Purpose: To review the literature on how coumarin works in insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes. Method: A literature review was conducted using the ClinicalKey, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) were used to refine the search. Inclusion criteria included research articles published between 2015 and 2024 in accredited national or internationally reputable journals, with a JBI critical appraisal tools score above 65%. The PRISMA diagram was used for article selection, resulting in five eligible articles for analysis. Results: The findings indicate that coumarin, predominantly found in cinnamon, has glucose-lowering effects in diabetes mellitus type 2 patients by reducing blood glucose levels, controlling glucose spikes, and lowering HbA1c. Additionally, coumarin derivatives in Opuntia ficus-indica and Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacon) may contribute to metabolic homeostasis through antioxidant activity. However, coumarin also poses hepatotoxic and carcinogenic risks at high doses. Conclusion: While coumarin-containing compounds show promise in improving glycemic control. Further research is needed to determine safe and effective therapeutic doses for clinical application.

Abstract

Background: The safewards model of psychiatric care  is an approach developed to improve the safety and quality of care in psychiatric wards. this approach aims to reduce incidents of violence, improve therapeutic relationships between patients and healthcare workers, and create a safer inpatient environment and support patient recovery. Purpose: To analyze the evaluation of the implementation of the safewards inpatient model in mental hospitals. Method: Qualitative research with explorative descriptive design. Data and information sources come from 15 informants consisting of: hospital management (A-1), head of nursing (A-2), head of education and training (A-3), head of medical services (A-4), head of nursing (A-5), head of facilities (A-6), head of finance (A-7), implementing doctors (B-8, B-9), implementing nurses (C-10, C-11, C-12, C-13, C-14, C-15). To obtain complete information, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted with informants. Furthermore, thematic, narrative, inductive, and explanatory data analysis were carried out, then reduction and triangulation were carried out. Results: The implementation of the safewards model with 10 intervention strategies has been proven effective in mental health services. In addition, the implementation of this intervention has been proven effective in reducing conflict, improving therapeutic communication, and accelerating the patient's recovery process. With the right strategy, this model can be increasingly integrated into the mental health service system that is oriented towards patient recovery and well-being. Conclusion: The implementation of the safewards model is effective in mental health services. Although there are still various challenges, such as limited professional human resources and other supporting facilities and infrastructure, the high commitment of health workers and management is a key factor in ensuring the sustainability of this program.

Abstract

Background: Sexual harassment refers to any unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct intended to, or resulting in, the violation of an individual's dignity, particularly through the creation of an intimidating, degrading, humiliating, or hostile environment. This form of harassment can lead to both immediate and long-term adverse effects on adolescent health. As previously noted, adolescents constitute a vulnerable group that must be safeguarded against such acts. One of the essential strategies for ensuring their protection involves the implementation of preventive measures. Purpose: To find out preventive measures that could be taken to prevent sexual harassment. Method: A systematic literature review guided by the PICO framework was employed. Literature searches were conducted using specific keywords combined with Boolean operators. The final selection of articles obtained through this process served as the basis for review in this study. Selected articles were subsequently extracted, evaluated for quality, and analyzed in a tabulated format. Results: The initial database search yielded a total of 1,447 articles. Following the screening and selection process based on the PRISMA flow diagram, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The literature review identified several preventive programs targeting sexual harassment among adolescents, including Self-Defense Training, the RISE Program, policy development initiatives, as well as school-based interventions such as Benzies & Batchies and Boys, and the GlobalConsent program. Conclusion: Efforts to prevent sexual harassment in adolescents include self-defense training, awareness programs like RISE and Globalconsent, school policies, and resilience-building initiatives, all aimed at increasing knowledge and protection.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased, yet there is a gap in empirical studies regarding the association between hyperuricemia and diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Purpose: To determine the baseline association between serum uric acid and fasting blood glucose in the peri-urban population. Method: A quantitative approach was employed, with particular emphasis on a formative method. The study was conducted in Sampangan, Semarang, from January to April 2023. Uric acid levels served as the independent variable, while fasting blood glucose was designated as the dependent variable. A total of 44 participants were selected through total sampling, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis involved univariate testing to assess the frequency distribution of participant characteristics, followed by bivariate analysis utilizing one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: Significant differences were observed in fasting blood glucose, serum uric acid, and systolic blood pressure levels across the healthy, prediabetic, and type 2 diabetic groups, as well as between individuals with normal uric acid levels and those with hyperuricemia. Conversely, no significant differences were found for age, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), or cholesterol levels. Conclusion: This study offers a deeper understanding of serum uric acid levels among healthy individuals, prediabetic patients, and individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Factors such as uric acid concentration, presence of hypertension, and patient initiative contribute to decisions regarding the continuation of screening.
