Abstract

Nurses in the operating room feel that they lack concentration in carrying out surgery because fatigue during emergency operations can result in increased work stress. The process of adaptation is a way that affects behavior in managing stress. The purpose of the study was to prove that there is a relationship between the ability of the adaptation process according to Callista Roy's theory in nurses with work stress in the operating room of Mardi Waluyo Hospital Blitar. This research method is quantitative using a cross-sectional design. The study sample was 28 nurses in the operating room with the total sampling technique. The independent variable of adaptability of the adaptation process was measured with the questionnaire sheet and the dependent variable of work stress was measured with the DASS 42 questionnaire sheet. Data analysis using Spearman test. The research results show that the ability of the adaptation process was mostly moderate in 17 people (60.7%) and work stress was almost half that of normal stress in 12 people (42.9%). The conclusion is there is a significant relationship between the ability of the adaptation process and nurses' work stress with a p-value of 0.001≤0.05 meaning that there is a significant relationship between the ability of the adaptation process with work stress in nurses in the operating room, the direction of the relationship from r count -0.577* is strongly correlated with the direction of negative relationships, meaning that the increasing adaptability the lower the level of work stress.

Abstract

Dependence on wheat flour is very high, so food diversification efforts must be made to reduce this dependence. Biscuits are a product made from wheat flour as the main ingredient, and they have the potential to be developed using pumpkin and Katuk leaves. This study aims to determine the chemical and physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin, and Katuk leaves. This research was an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of 3 treatments and one standard treatment, with three repetitions of each treatment, so there were 12 treatment units. Chemical quality includes energy, carbohydrate content, protein, fat, Fe, calcium, vitamin C, β- carotene, and vitamin A. Physical quality is assessed using diameter, thickness, and spread ratio). Data were analyzed using One Way Anova and Krusskal Tests Wallis. The results on the chemical quality of biscuits show a significant effect of substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves on protein, calcium, zinc, Fe, β- carotene, and vitamin C levels in biscuits. However, fat and carbohydrate levels decreased for energy as the substitution of pumpkin and Katuk leaves increased. The physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin and Katuk leaves shows that the diameter and thickness decrease as the percentage of substitutes for pumpkin and Katuk leaves increases. This situation causes the spread ratio (spread) to increase. This research concludes that substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves in biscuits significantly affects the chemical and physical quality of the biscuits.

Abstract

Heart failure is the most common health problem experienced by both the global and Indonesian population. Improving the quality of life of heart failure patients is paramount and depends heavily on the treatment undertaken. The number of relapses that result in re-hospitalization of heart failure patients indicates a lack of adherence to therapy. Some of the risk factors for re-hospitalization of heart failure are age, gender, degree of disease, and comorbidities. Non-compliance with medication therapy, excessive physical activity, non-adherence to medical care, failure to recognize clinical manifestations of heart failure, and violation of low-salt dietary restrictions will result in rehospitalization due to recurrence. Patients without family members may have higher non-compliance, as they lack the support needed to change their behavior. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between family support and the degree of heart failure disease in consuming a low salt diet on the incidence of re-hospitalization. This research design uses a cross-sectional design of analytic survey research. The population of this study were heart failure patients who sought treatment at Pasar Rebo Hospital with a sample of 75 people. Sampling using purposive sampling. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate tests. In this study, there is a relationship between family support in the consumption of a low-salt diet on the incidence of re-hospitalization based on the degree of disease. The results of the bivariate test (Person Chi-Square) showed that there was a significant relationship between family support in the consumption of a low-salt diet and the incidence of re-hospitalization for heart failure (p<0.05). In this study it was found that there was a significant relationship between family support and the degree of heart failure in consuming a low salt diet in the event of re-hospitalization, Most of the respondents' degree of heart failure re-hospitalization were in class I and class II degrees of disease as many as 72 (96%) and class I and II degrees of disease were in emotional family support, information and appreciation 5-14 (15-62%) Researchers suggest that future researchers can add patient respondents who experience re-hospitalization for heart failure.

Abstract

Effective diabetes self-care is essential for adults managing diabetes. Additionally, implementing family-centered care can significantly enhance home care efficiency.  This study aims to collect and evaluate findings related to family-centered care in diabetic patients. A systematic review was conducted by searching the following electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The inclusion articles were published in English from 2013 to 2023, Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), and published reviews assessing family-centered care for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. The systematic review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram, relevant studies were identified and assessed based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) criteria. These results were discussed among researchers to resolve differences and reach a conclusion. Results: Five RCT reviews published between 2013 and 2023 met the inclusion criteria. Family-centered care can reduce HbA1c levels, blood pressure, weight, depressive symptoms score (PHQ8), and Low-Density Lipoprotein levels, increasing knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors. This review has provided evidence regarding the effect of implementing family-centered care interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The evidence suggests that family-centred care can be an important approach to improving the quality of healthcare services for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

The prevalence of caesarean section (C-section) deliveries has risen to encompass over 1 in 5 births (21%) globally and is projected to increase to nearly one-third (29%) by 2030. With this growing trend, optimal patient preparation becomes essential for ensuring safe and successful outcomes. Patient preparation involves multiple aspects, including physical readiness, nutritional status, gastrointestinal and abdominal hygiene, surgical site shaving, personal hygiene, bladder emptying, preoperative exercises, mental preparation, and informed consent. Mental preparedness, in particular, is closely associated with achieving maternal role attainment, as described in Mercer’s theory. This study aimed to explore the significant relationship between maternal role attainment, based on Mercer's theory, and the readiness of pregnant women to undergo C-section surgery. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving a sample of 52 pregnant women scheduled for C-section surgery, selected using the Total Sampling technique. Maternal role attainment (independent variable) was assessed using a validated questionnaire, while surgical readiness (dependent variable) was measured using a readiness questionnaire that had undergone validity testing. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. The results revealed that 26 participants (50.0%) had achieved their maternal role, and 47 participants (90.4%) demonstrated readiness for C-section surgery. Statistical analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between maternal role attainment and surgical readiness, with a p-value of 0.03 (<0.05) and a correlation coefficient of 0.401, suggesting a moderate and positive correlation. The conclusion is there are relationship between maternal role attainment, based on Mercer's theory, and the readiness of pregnant women to undergo C-section surgery. These findings imply that the greater the maternal role attainment, the higher the readiness of pregnant women to undergo C-section surgery.

Abstract

The issue of the air quality index and its impact on health, specifically human respiratory continues to be a global concern. Recent studies indicate that respiratory diseases are linked to the inflammation caused by air pollutants. The aim of this study was to review the correlation between air quality measurements and factors contributing to the rise in acute nasopharyngitis and other respiratory disorders. This study was a systematic literature review of English language articles published in peer-reviewed academic journals between January 1, 2018, and April 30, 2023. This study found that twelve eligible papers from five reputable electronic databases: PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were eligible included. Severe respiratory illnesses are caused by factors such as Particulate Matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and air temperature. While all studies showed a direct association between these factors and respiratory diseases, the inconsistent association between O3 and AQI with respiratory disease may be attributed to differences in sample size and geographic settings. A comprehensive review study involving human subjects is necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract

Polyethylene (PE) becomes a source of microplastics that can be widely distributed through the digestive and respiratory systems. However, its effects on blood cells are still being investigated. This study aims to analyze the impact of Polyethylene Microplastic (PE-MPs) exposure on the blood of female rats, including erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. This study used female Wistar rats, which were divided into control and PE-MP groups. PE-MP was administered via whole-body inhalation at a concentration of 15 mg/m³ for 4 hours daily for 28 days. The absorption of plastic particles detected in the human bloodstream is likely to occur through mucosal contact (either through ingestion or inhalation). After the exposure period, the rats were euthanized to collect blood samples through the heart. A complete blood count was performed using an automatic hematology analyzer, and blood morphology was analyzed using thin blood smears. This study used the Mann-Whitney test. PE-MP exposure increased erythrocyte and platelet counts without a corresponding rise in leukocytes. Erythrocytes showed abnormal morphology (12.73% with ovalocytes and tear-shaped cells). Erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) showed no significant differences. Platelet count rose by 1.7% (p-value= 0.017). Leukocyte and neutrophil counts were lower (0.84 and 0.94 times lower, respectively), while lymphocytes and monocytes were higher (1.03 and 1.61 times higher, respectively) in the PE-MP group compared to controls. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio did not differ significantly. PE-MP exposure in rats disrupts blood parameters, altering erythrocyte morphology and increasing platelet counts. Potential causes include oxidative stress, immune responses, and compensatory mechanisms. Study limitations include a small sample size and exclusive focus on inhalation exposure. Integrating multiple exposure routes (inhalation, ingestion, dermal) could offer a broader view of microplastic impacts. Future research with larger samples, diverse doses and durations, and exploration of additional markers or organ-specific effects is crucial for understanding PE-MP toxicity in real-world scenarios.

Abstract

Independence in toileting is a skill that must be achieved throughout the stages of child growth and development. Toilet training (TT) is an important part of child development that can increase independence and minimize disturbances in bowel and bladder control in children. In general, this exercise is performed on children aged 12-36 months (toddlers) and children aged 48-60 months (preschool) depending on each child's readiness. This readiness is commonly shown by the emergence of a child's instinct to defecate or urinate independently. In this process, parents and caregivers play an important role in stimulating independence in children through TT. Unfortunately, most parents and caregivers may find it difficult to initiate, instruct, guide, and demonstrate TT for their child. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of various TT methods based on recent evidence. This review uses the scoping review design by including 3 databases in the search strategy: EBSCO-host, PubMed, and Scopus. All keywords used are synthesized from the PICO were “Toddlers” AND “Preschool Children” OR “Preschool Child” AND “Toilet Training” OR “Potty Training” AND “Toileting”.  This study only reviews the results of primary studies from the past five years (2018-2023), published in English or Bahasa, and with experimental designs. Children with a history of functional gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorders were excluded from the study. The methodological validity and risk bias of each study is included in this review using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) instrument. The main findings in this review study indicate that there are 7 types of toilet training interventions that have been developed and implemented. There are The AAP Guideline, The DAP Guideline, The Application of TT, AI Technology, Storytelling Treatment, Hypnoparenting, and TT Demonstration. Findings show that most interventions focus on individual or group settings with additional techniques like demonstration and storytelling. Parents and caregivers, including pediatric nurses, can consider TT method adapted from The AAP Guideline to improved toilet training process among toddlers and preschool-age children.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between the quality of prenatal care and pregnancy outcomes through a comprehensive literature review. The systematic literature review aims to elucidate the relationship between prenatal care quality and pregnancy outcomes while identifying key factors influencing care quality. Relevant studies were identified through an extensive search of databases, including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, using specific keywords related to antenatal care quality, serum levels, and pregnancy outcomes. Articles published within the last ten years were screened based on inclusion criteria, resulting in 12 original studies selected for detailed analysis. The findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between prenatal care quality and pregnancy outcomes. Inadequate prenatal care was associated with a higher risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and complications during delivery. Socioeconomic factors such as income level, education, and access to healthcare services were identified as critical determinants of prenatal care quality. This study highlights the urgent need to enhance the accessibility, continuity, and quality of prenatal care to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, particularly in resource-limited settings. Policy implications suggest the necessity of targeted interventions to address disparities in prenatal care, including improving healthcare infrastructure, training healthcare providers, and implementing community-based programs. In conclusion, the study underscores the pivotal role of high-quality antenatal care in ensuring favorable pregnancy outcomes. Tackling socioeconomic barriers and enhancing service delivery are crucial to reducing adverse outcomes and promoting maternal and child health. The findings call for policy reforms to strengthen antenatal care services, especially in underserved regions, to achieve better health outcomes for mothers and infants.

Abstract

Shock is a life-threatening condition. It is essential to perform hemodynamic support on shocked patients to restore adequate circulation. Passive leg raising (PLR) is a critical act to assess fluid responsiveness which can provide significant information about fluid needs of shocked patients. The present study aimed to identify the implementation of passive leg raising in shocked patients. The scoping review was the method used in the present study. Relevant literatures were obtained from PubMed, CINAHL and Google Scholar Search engines from 2013 to 2023. The articles were manually extracted through tabulation and the data were thematically analyzed with an exploratory descriptive approach. Nine articles were found relevant and hence were included in the present study. The findings of the 9 articles revealed that the implementation of passive leg raising in shocked patients was an early strategy in assessing fluid responsiveness and fluid administration could be decreased after 48 hours of ICU admission. The findings of the current study suggested that the implementation of PLR significantly assessed fluid responsiveness which in the end guided in conducting fluid resuscitation in shocked patients and could reduce fluid administration in shocked patients for the first 48 hours of ICU admission. Therefore, health professionals working in critical care units including critical care nurses should consider performing PLR to shocked patients.
