Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic which is a non-natural disaster, the ARDS cases (Acute Respiratory Disease Syndrome) rocketed. Despite the advantages of prone positioning for ARDS care, ICU staff seldom use it due to the unavailability of positioning tools, making it a challenging task for nurses. This study aims to investigate nurses' experiences with manual prone positioning and propose ICU-friendly prone position tools. This research method used a qualitative phenomenology theory study to 15 ICU nurses who were experienced in prone positioning at least 10 times to intubated patients and had complaints about the intervention. The experience was gathered using structured questions and recorded. The data was analyzed following Colaizzi’s thematic method, and all the emerged themes were collected and reported. The research results show that fifteen interviewed nurses noted that prone positioning is physically demanding and requires a coordinated team with a minimum of three staffs, 2 handles patient positioning, 1 leader securing the intubation tube. Before starting, the team assesses the difficulty level. Recommended tools include a slide sheet with handles, a modified Vollman prone positioner, and a crane-like prone harness. The conclusion is nurses find tools highly beneficial for prone positioning but will improvise with available resources like underpads as a ring-shaped pillow if tools are unavailable.

Abstract

A defined career path for nurses is essential, as they constitute the largest segment of healthcare workers and hold strategic and leadership roles in determining the quality of patient care and overall hospital quality. This study aims to analyze the concept of professionalism in relation to the implementation of career paths for nurses within hospital settings. This concept analysis follows the steps outlined by Walker & Avant. A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases to identify articles published between 2014 and 2024. After filtering, 9 articles were selected from various scientific disciplines such as nursing, medicine, education, and other health-related fields. This study identified three main attributes related to the clinical professional ladder: 1) integrity, 2) justice, and 3) beneficence. Antecedents include education, workshops/conferences, experience, and professional identity. Consequences include ethics, patient outcomes, nursing outcomes, future career opportunities, job satisfaction, retention, salary, and organizational commitment. This concept analysis enhances our understanding of the three attributes of the career ladder and professionalism (CLp) and provides insights into future development and uncertainties in nursing management. This concept is highly valuable for nurse management settings, particularly in enhancing professionalism through career path programs. Ultimately, this concept analysis approach encourages both new and experienced nurses to maintain professionalism in the delivery of nursing care.

Abstract

Trail runs have a high risk of injury like ankle sprains. Proper ankle sprain first aid requires preparedness to prevent more serious danger and ensure its success in the pre-hospital setting. This study aimed to explore key determinants of trail run athletes’ preparedness to perform pre-hospital first aid for ankle sprain using the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model theory. The research method used a descriptive correlational which approached cross-sectionally. The research recruited 120 trail run athletes of two professional clubs who were selected by simple random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires. The variables measured were knowledge, belief, value, attitude, and confidence. Bivariate analysis used chi-square and spearman-rho tests. Multivariate analysis used a logistic regression test. All of the statistical analyses used α = 0,05. The research results show that half of the respondents was 18 – 35 years old. The factors correlated to the trail run preparedness to perform pre-hospital first aid for ankle sprain was as follows. The majority had a medium level of knowledge (54,2%) and a significance level of p = 0.000. Similar trends were found between belief, value, and confidence in which there were no low levels of those variables with the same significance value of p = 0.000. Lastly, respondent’s percentages of attitudes were almost equally distributed between negative (45%) and positive (66%) with a significance level of p = 0,000. In multivariate analysis, all the variables had p-values < 0,05. The OR was as follows, knowledge 14,713; belief 77,919; value 27,554; attitude 7,213; and confidence 12,408.  The conclusion is found that knowledge, belief, value, attitude, and confidence were significantly correlated with the athlete’s preparedness Together all variables were correlated significantly to the athlete’s preparedness to perform pre-hospital first aid for ankle sprain. In conclusion, to improve athlete safety during trail runs is by improving the preparedness for any adverse event including trail runs. All of the factors could increase preparedness, but some factors resulted in higher preparedness. The factors that have more effect on preparedness than the others are belief and value.

Abstract

Antioxidants are needed to neutralize Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the body and prevent cardiovascular, cancer, and premature aging as degenerative diseases. Antioxidants will provide resistance to free radicals and prevent damage in normal cells, proteins, and fats, and are able to break chain reactions without disrupting their function. Black Garlic has higher antioxidant properties than regular garlic. S-allyl cysteine (SAC) is a compound from Black Garlic that functions as an antioxidant that can affect the cell cycle in apoptosis, which can provide cell protection from free radical damage. In a study, it was said that a single type of Black Garlic extract obtained IC50 52.055 ppm (µg/mL) which is included in the category of high antioxidant activity. While in the antioxidant activity test, this study used a compound type of black garlic on the grounds that the price is more affordable and easy to find in traditional markets. This study aims to evaluate the potential of compound-type black garlic extract against free radicals by testing antioxidant activity using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. The results of the compound type Black Garlic antioxidant test stated to have an IC50 value of 173 ppm (µg/mL) which is classified as moderate antioxidant activity. So researchers assume that the use of single type Black Garlic extract is more effective than compound type Black Garlic.

Abstract

A deficiency of the hormone estrogen at menopause can lead to an increased rate of the destruction of the bone tissue that leads to bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis and impaired fat metabolism, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis. Phytoestrogens from flavonoid extract P. Macrocarpa, having effects similar to endogenous estrogens themselves, prevent osteoporosis and atherosclerosis in menopausal women. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of flavonoids from P. Macrocarpa fruit extract on trabeculae cortex thickness, ratio of femoral bone, and aortic IMT (A-IMT) in a menopausal mouse model. The study was conducted in a true experimental-posttest-only control group design. Using 32 mice; namely KN (normal mice with no treatment), KP (OVX with no treatment), P1(OVX and given flavonoid 3.75 mg/mice/day), P2 (OVX and given flavonoid 7.5 mg/mice/day), P3(OVX and given flavonoid 11.25 mg/mice/day), P4 (OVX and given flavonoid 15 mg/mice/day), the treatment given within 14 days. Then the thickness of the trabeculae, cortex, and intima-media aorta with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. In the trabeculae, cortex thickness ratio obtained KN results meaningfully dissimilar to the KP group and the P3 and P4 groups were meaningfully dissimilar from the KP. The A-BMI in KP is meaningfully dissimilar to P1, P2, P3 and P4. The conclusion of the study is flavonoid fruit extract P. Macrocarpa can increase the thickness ratio of trabeculae, and cortex femoral bone of mice menopausal model in groups P3, P4 and can decrease A-IMT starting in groups P1 to P4.

Abstract

Menopause is a phase experienced by women with an age range of 45-55 years. Menopause is a condition where menstruation stops for a minimum of 12 consecutive months due to the decline in ovarian function, leading to a reduction in estrogen levels. A decrease in estrogen can lead to impaired fat metabolism resulting in atherosclerosis. This study aimed to illustrate the influence of flavonoid extract derived from Phaleria Macrocarpa on the enlargement of the aorta's diameter of mice with a menopause condition. The method of this study is a genuine experimental laboratory setting with a research design of a Randomized Post Test Only Control Group setting. Using 32 female mice divided into 6 groups: K- (without ovariectomy and flavonoid extract Phaleria Macrocarpa), K + (ovariectomy without treatment), P1 (ovariectomy + dose 3.75 mg/mice/day), P2 (ovariectomy + dose 7.5 mg/mice/day), P3 (ovariectomy + dose 11.25 mg/mice/day), and P4 (ovariectomy + dose 15 mg/mice/day). Administration of flavonoid extract Phaleria Macrocarpa was carried out for 14 days. Data analysis using statistical analysis. The results showed that in a post-hoc test, namely the administration of Phaleria macrocarpa flavonoid extract at a dose of 11.25 mg/mice/day and 15 mg/mice/day showed that it could increase the dilation of the aortic diameter of mice model menopause. The study concludes that the flavonoid fruit extract from Phaleria Macrocarpa has the ability to increase the width of the aorta in mice with a menopause condition. In future studies, it is recommended to investigate various variables in order to identify the factors that contribute to the narrowing of the aorta. Additionally, it is suggested to perform further research specifically focusing on women going through menopause.

Abstract

In the context of modern sports science, understanding the profound impact of nutritional status on athletic performance has become increasingly crucial. This study aims to review the existing literature regarding the role of nutritional status in increasing the physical endurance of athletes. Optimal nutritional status plays an important role in supporting athletic performance through mechanisms involving nutrient intake, energy metabolism, and post-workout recovery. Various studies show that malnutrition can result in decreased physical ability, increased risk of injury, and slow recovery. Conversely, adequate nutrition can improve muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and metabolic efficiency. This article summarizes the key findings from various studies that highlight the importance of macro and micro nutrition, hydration, and proper diet planning in supporting athletes' physical endurance. The conclusion of this review underscores that nutritional strategies tailored to the individual needs of athletes are essential to achieve optimal performance and minimize the risk of injury. More research is needed to explore the complex interactions between various nutritional factors and physical fitness components.

Abstract

Incidents of sexual violence are like an iceberg phenomenon and continue to increase every year. However, this increase is inversely proportional to the rehabilitative efforts provided for victims of sexual violence. The impact of sexual violence is trauma that makes the victim feel helpless. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) is the therapy of choice to treat these impacts. This systematic review aims to determine the implementation and benefits of TF-CBT for trauma victims of sexual violence. The search used seven databases: Scopus, Sage Journals, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, PubMed, Clinical Key, and EBSCOhost. The research design used in the selected articles was three with RCTs, 5 with Quasy experiments, and 2 with cohorts. Selection is based on the criteria of article publication time in the last ten years, providing full text in English. The symptoms measured in trauma cases are PTSD, post-traumatic symptoms, mental problems such as depression, suicide attempts, and behavioral problems. The results showed that TF-CBT positively influenced all of these symptoms. Implementing TF-CBT also involves the role of parents and modifications with culturally sensitive principles. TF-CBT can reduce trauma symptoms. It is hoped that TF-CBT can be used in other trauma cases and apply modification principles that previous researchers have carried out by being culturally sensitive and involving the role of parents.
