Abstract

Background:  Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can reduce physical function, psychological well-being, social participation, and overall quality of life. In addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions such as breathing exercises may support asthma self-management. The Buteyko breathing technique is a simple breathing retraining method that may help improve breathing control and quality of life among people with asthma.Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of the Buteyko breathing technique on quality of life among adults with asthma in Desa Suling Wetan, Kecamatan Cermee, Kabupaten Bondowoso.Methods: This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 20 adults with asthma were selected using purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 10 respondents in each group. The intervention group received the Buteyko breathing technique, while the control group did not receive the intervention. Quality of life was measured using a questionnaire, and data were analysed using the Mann–Whitney U test.Results: The mean quality of life score was higher in the intervention group after receiving the Buteyko breathing technique than in the control group, with mean scores of 63.10 and 52.60, respectively. The intervention group also had a higher mean rank than the control group, with mean ranks of 13.35 and 7.65, respectively. The Mann–Whitney U test showed a significant difference in quality of life between the two groups (Z = -2.159; p = 0.031).Conclusion: The Buteyko breathing technique had a significant effect on improving quality of life among adults with asthma. This technique may be considered a simple, low-cost, and non-invasive complementary nursing intervention to support asthma self-management in community settings.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Academic stress can hinder learning, retention, and program success in prelicensure nursing education, particularly where rapid program expansion limits faculty and student support. In Bangladesh, BSc and Diploma nursing tracks are expanding, yet comparative data on stress among first-year students remain scarce. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 randomly selected first-year nursing students (BSc=60, Diploma=60) at a college in Savar, Dhaka. A supervised web-based questionnaire collected socio-demographic information and Academic Stress Scale scores (0–120), categorized as low (0–24), mild (25–49), moderate (50–74), high (75–99), and extreme (100–120). Statistical analyses included chi-square, t-tests, and ANOVA (α=.05). Results: Stress levels were low (12.5%), mild (30.8%), moderate (39.2%), and high (17.5%), with no extreme stress reported. Mean stress was higher in BSc students (59.73±21.01) compared to Diploma students (45.80±22.25) (p=.001). Stress was significantly associated with age (p = .004), course (p = .010), and family type (nuclear > joint; p = .048). Conclusion and Recommendations: Mild-to-moderate stress predominated, with higher burdens among BSc students and those from nuclear families. Early stress screening, structured mentoring, and counselling referral pathways are recommended to reduce attrition and enhance performance. Multi-site longitudinal studies are needed to validate and extend these findings.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: The nursing process (NP) is a fundamental framework for delivering systematic, client-centered, and evidence-based nursing care that improves patient outcomes and healthcare quality. Despite its global recognition, implementation remains inconsistent, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh, where limited data exist on nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to NP.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of senior staff nurses regarding the nursing process and identify factors influencing its implementation at a tertiary-level hospital.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 132 senior staff nurses at a tertiary-level hospital. Data were collected via a self-administered structured questionnaire covering socio-demographic information, knowledge (20 items), practice (10 items), attitude (20-item Likert scale), and enabling/reinforcing factors (10 yes/no items). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, correlation, and regression analyses were performed to explore relationships among variables.Results: More than half of the nurses demonstrated average knowledge (53.0%) of the nursing process, with 34.1% showing good knowledge. However, poor practice predominated (60.6%), and attitudes were mostly uncertain (51.5%), indicating a disconnect between knowledge and practical application. Professional qualifications and experience significantly influenced knowledge, practice, and attitudes. Enabling factors such as institutional support and continuing education were identified as critical for NP implementation.Conclusion: The study revealed a significant gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application of the nursing process among nurses. Enhancing continuing professional development, improving workplace resources, and fostering positive attitudes through supportive leadership are essential strategies to promote effective NP implementation and ultimately improve nursing care quality in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Background: Patients undergoing regional anesthesia are frequently exposed to low perioperative ambient temperatures before surgery, increasing the risk of thermal discomfort even in the absence of overt hypothermia. Although perioperative warming strategies have been widely discussed, evidence regarding simple localized warming interventions during the pre-anesthetic phase remains limited, particularly in relation to subjective thermal comfort. Objective: To examine the effect of hand warmer application on thermal comfort among patients undergoing regional anesthesia during the pre-anesthetic phase. Methods: A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital, Indonesia. Thirty patients scheduled for regional anesthesia were recruited using purposive sampling. Thermal comfort was assessed before and after intervention using the Thermal Comfort Scale (TCS). Participants received localized warming through hand warmer application on the palmar area for 10 minutes during the pre-anesthetic waiting period. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of p < 0.05.Results: Prior to the intervention, most participants reported neutral (43.3%) or uncomfortable (40.0%) thermal sensations. Following hand warmer application, thermal comfort shifted entirely toward comfortable (73.3%) and very comfortable (26.7%) categories. Wilcoxon signed-rank analysis demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in thermal comfort scores after the intervention (Z = −4.861, p < 0.001). No participants reported worsening thermal comfort following localized warming.Conclusion: Hand warmer application improved subjective thermal comfort among patients undergoing regional anesthesia during the pre-anesthetic phase. As a simple, low-cost, and non-invasive intervention, localized peripheral warming may support more patient-centered perioperative nursing care and enhance pre-anesthetic comfort management.

Abstract

Background: Relatives of critically ill adults may experience considerable psychological distress during intensive care hospitalisation due to uncertainty, restricted contact, complex clinical information, and fear of patient deterioration. The way families adapt to this situation is reflected in their coping responses, which may be adaptive or maladaptive depending on emotional, informational, and social resources available during critical care.Objective: This study aimed to analyse the association between family psychological stress and coping adaptation among relatives of critically ill patients in an adult intensive care unit. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 130 relatives of critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of RSU Dr. H. Koesnadi Bondowoso, Indonesia. Respondents were recruited using quota sampling based on predetermined eligibility criteria. Family stress was assessed using an observational checklist, while coping adaptation was measured using a structured coping questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.Results: Most respondents experienced stress level IV, involving 78 participants (60.0%), followed by stress level V in 35 participants (26.9%) and stress level III in 17 participants (13.1%). Maladaptive coping was identified in 91 respondents (70.0%), while 39 respondents (30.0%) demonstrated adaptive coping. Spearman’s rho analysis showed a significant association between family stress level and coping adaptation (r = 0.354; p < 0.001).Conclusion:  Family psychological stress was significantly associated with coping adaptation among relatives of critically ill patients in the ICU. The findings indicate that families experiencing psychological strain may require early assessment, clear communication, and supportive nursing approaches to strengthen adaptive coping during critical care hospitalisation.
