Abstract

Elementary school-aged children are very vulnerable to experiencing unpleasant events and are often victims of violence. In Indonesia, West Java Province is ranked first in cases of violence against children, with a total of 1,695 victims. In Sumedang Regency, especially North Sumedang District, there is a high number of cases of violence against children. Children aged 12-13 are in the transition phase from children to adolescents. This study aims to analyze the differences in trauma in boys and girls aged 12-13 years. The method used in this study is a comparative quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study used Simple Random Sampling with a sample size using the calculation of the Krecji table with a significance level of 5%, namely 276 grade 6 elementary school children consisting of 133 boys and 143 girls. The instrument used in this study is the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form (CTQ-SF) questionnaire, which measures five dimensions of trauma, namely emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect. Data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test. The results of this study showed that there were significant differences in trauma between boys and girls aged 12-13 years in the dimensions of Emotional Abuse (p = 0.029), Physical Abuse (p < 0.001), and Physical Neglect (p < 0.001). There are differences in trauma in boys and girls. Boys are more vulnerable to physical trauma, and girls are more vulnerable to emotional or psychological trauma.

Abstract

The precision of management protocols largely influences the outcomes of trauma patients. Nurses play a crucial role in patients’ stabilization. Accurate and timely screening can improve the response time and facilitate the effective stabilization of trauma patients. This review aims to understand: (1) Types of emergency nursing intervention delivered for trauma patients in the emergency department, (2) Outcomes from the emergency nursing intervention delivered for trauma patients in the emergency department. A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s approach and Levac’s method for data analysis. Interventions conducted by nurses in the emergency department for trauma patients included Airway – Breathing – Circulation – Disability – Environment/Emotional care – Foley catheter – Gastric tube – Hemodynamic monitoring – Interprofessional teamwork. Outcomes related to emergency nursing intervention can be divided into three categories: patient, nurse, and organizational outcomes. Emergency nursing interventions are most effective in better managing trauma patients when grounded in competency-based education, delivered through standardized protocols, supported by interdisciplinary teamwork, and inclusive of emotional and psychological care.

Abstract

Prostate cancer remains a major global health challenge, recognized as the second most prevalent cancer among men and the fifth leading cause of mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the current knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding prostate cancer. An analytical, cross-sectional survey was conducted among 326 adult males at Seiyun University, Yemen. Data were collected using a validated, self-administered questionnaire that covered sociodemographic, family history, awareness, symptoms' knowledge, risk factors, attitudes and screening practices. Ethical approval and verbal informed consent were obtained. Descriptive statistics, KAP categorization, and chi-square were performed. Overall, participants demonstrated limited awareness with 25% having heard of prostate cancer and 6% aware of specific screening programs. The majority (69%) correctly identified blood tests as the best screening method, only 17% knew the appropriate age for screening. Interestingly, only 1.2% of participants reported having been screened for prostate cancer. Meanwhile, 6% indicated a family history of cancer, mostly breast cancer in second-degree relatives. The study found significant correlations between participants' knowledge levels, age, and the type of college attended. Importantly, there was a significant association between having a family history of cancer and undergoing screening procedures. In other words, participants with a family history of cancer were more likely to participate in screening practices. This study highlights a significant deficit in prostate cancer knowledge and alarmingly low screening rates. The findings underscore an urgent need for comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based educational initiatives in Yemen. These efforts should specifically target identified knowledge gaps related to symptoms, risk factors, and appropriate screening age, and be tailored to specific age groups and college types, leveraging the influence of family history, to foster proactive health behaviors and improve early detection.
