Abstract

Background: Caregiving for individuals with schizophrenia, particularly those at an elevated risk of exhibiting violent behavior, presents significant challenges for family members, especially in regions with limited resources. It is essential to understand the factors that influence caregivers' competence to ensure effective home management and mitigate the risk of violent incidents. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between socio-demographic factors such as age, occupation, and education, and the knowledge and capabilities of family caregivers in managing schizophrenia patients at risk for violence. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at Mutiara Sukma Mental Hospital in West Nusa Tenggara, involving eighty-nine family caregivers recruited through accidental sampling. Data were gathered using validated questionnaires designed to assess demographic information, knowledge regarding schizophrenia, and caregiving efficacy. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test, with a significance threshold set at p < 0.01. Results: The majority of participants were in early adulthood (50.6%) and were employed (57.3%). The statistical analysis uncovered significant correlations between age, occupation, education, knowledge, and the caregivers' competencies in providing care (p < 0.01). Caregivers with higher educational attainment and substantial knowledge demonstrated enhanced abilities in managing medication and addressing violent behaviors compared to those with lower educational levels or insufficient understanding of the condition. Conclusion: Socio-demographic factors and health literacy play crucial roles in determining caregiving abilities. It is recommended that nursing interventions prioritize targeted psychoeducation and social support tailored for families encountering educational and socioeconomic challenges, thereby enhancing patient safety and the overall quality of care in home settings.

Abstract

Background: Early adolescence is a crucial developmental stage marked by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes. During this time, adolescents are particularly susceptible to emotional issues and risky behaviours. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills are vital for helping adolescents manage their emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. In Thailand's southern border provinces, multicultural contexts and social stressors can impact adolescents' psychosocial development. Therefore, it is essential to implement culturally responsive interventions to promote SEL among these young people. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of a positive role-modeling and empowerment program on the social and emotional skills of early adolescents in the southern border context. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted using a one-group pretest–posttest design with 30 early adolescents aged 12 to 14 years who were attending an Islamic secondary school in Yala Province, Thailand. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved a three-week program focused on positive role modelling and empowerment, targeting five social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies. Social and emotional skills were assessed using a modified version of the Social Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ). The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test. Results: The mean social and emotional skills score increased from 69.06 (SD = 11.23) at pre-test to 76.73 (SD = 10.54) at post-test. The paired-sample t-test showed a statistically significant improvement (t = 3.04, p = 0.02). The effect size was moderate (Cohen’s d = 0.56), indicating a meaningful practical impact of the intervention. Conclusion and recommendation: The empowerment program can significantly improve social and emotional skills in early adolescents. It should be implemented in school settings to enhance mental health promotion and positive youth development, particularly in multicultural communities.

Abstract

Background: Effective pain management within the first 24 hours post-cesarean section is essential for maternal recovery. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as chamomile aromatherapy and LI-4 (Hegu) acupressure, offer accessible analgesic benefits with minimal side effects. However, evidence regarding their combined efficacy in post-cesarean patients remains limited. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of combined chamomile aromatherapy and LI-4 acupressure in reducing pain intensity among post-cesarean women. Methods: A quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design was utilized. Twenty participants were recruited via accidental sampling and allocated into an intervention group (n=10) receiving the combined therapy, and a control group (n=10) receiving deep breathing relaxation. Data normality was tested using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test for the normally distributed intervention group and a Wilcoxon test for the non-normally distributed control group. Results: Most respondents were aged 25–37 years (80% intervention; 60% control) and underwent elective cesarean sections (90% intervention; 70% control). In the intervention group, the paired t-test revealed p-values of 0.009, 0.104, and 0.081 at 4, 8, and 12 hours post-surgery, respectively. Conversely, the control group showed significant pain reduction at 4 and 8 hours (p=0.016 and p=0.034). Conclusion and recommendation: The combination of chamomile aromatherapy and LI-4 acupressure demonstrates a significant effect in reducing post-cesarean pain intensity at 4 hours post-surgery, offering a viable non-pharmacological pain management intervention.

Abstract

Background: The global demographic transition underscores the necessity for the development of Age-Friendly Communities (AFCs) aimed at promoting healthy ageing and enhancing community resilience. This study examines the intellectual framework surrounding AFC research from 2015 to 2025, to inform nursing scholarship and public health initiatives. Methods: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed on 245 peer-reviewed articles obtained from the Scopus database, covering the timeframe from 2015 to 2025. This targeted selection adhered to stringent inclusion criteria that emphasize the direct intersection of four key domains: "older adults," "community resilience," "healthy ageing," and "age-friendly communities." The analysis incorporated performance metrics, science mapping, and visualizations using the VOSviewer. Results: Research output saw significant growth post-2020, with a CAGR of over 15%, driven by the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing. While the US, UK, Canada, and Australia (the 'QUAD' group) have historically led in research, East Asian nations, especially China and Japan, are experiencing the fastest growth. The focus in AFC research has shifted from the Built Environment and Policy Adoption to include Digital Inclusion, Community Resilience, and Health Equity. Notably, Nursing Science is gaining importance, with a focus on translational interventions such as intergenerational reminiscence programs and community care models. Conclusion: The field of AFC research is progressing swiftly, with a shift towards data-driven and comprehensive analyses. The findings highlight an urgent need for nursing-led community interventions, especially those that incorporate intergenerational approaches and AFC principles, to address health disparities and enhance resilience among vulnerable older adults worldwide. This underscores the critical role of nursing as a leading discipline in addressing these important issues.

Abstract

Background: Adherence is a process that patients must follow in completing treatment regimens and complying with recommendations provided by healthcare professionals and family members. Research has shown that non-adherence to hypertension treatment can hinder blood pressure control, thereby requiring interventions to improve adherence. Hypertension is a chronic condition that must be continuously managed to prevent complications that may lead to death. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the level of medication adherence among hypertensive patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Sosopan Primary Health Center. Methods: This is a quantitative exploratory study with purposive sampling technique in which samples were selected based on inclusion criteria Results: A total of 93 patients met the criteria. Data were collected using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire. The study was conducted from February 10 to April 20, 2022. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution analysis. The results showed that 27 respondents (29.0%) had high adherence, 51 respondents (54.8%) had moderate adherence, and 15 respondents (16.1%) had low adherence. The primary reasons for not taking antihypertensive medication regularly during the pandemic included fear of being swabbed at the public health center (24.8%), feeling healthy (19.3%), and forgetting to take their medication (8.3%). Conclusion and recommendation: These findings indicate that although some patients adhered well to their antihypertensive treatment, a substantial proportion had not yet achieved optimal adherence. Overall, the results highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve medication adherence among hypertensive patients,

Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis is the primary treatment for patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, patients often face complications during the procedure, such as intradialytic hypertension, which can significantly reduce their comfort and increase morbidity and mortality rates. Safe and non-pharmacological interventions, including intradialytic exercise and classical music therapy, have emerged as promising strategies to alleviate these complications and improve patient well-being. Objective: This study aimed to assess the combined effect of intradialytic exercise and classical music therapy on the comfort levels of hemodialysis patients.Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group was utilised. A total of 36 patients were recruited through purposive sampling and evenly assigned to two groups: an intervention group (n = 18) and a control group (n = 18). The intervention group received combined 30-minute sessions of intradialytic exercise and classical music therapy twice a week for four consecutive weeks. Comfort was assessed using a modified Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale for physiological and psychological comfort, and a modified Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support for social comfort. Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test.U test.Results: The intervention group showed a statistically significant improvement in both physiological comfort (p = 0.023) and psychological comfort (p = 0.002) following the therapies. However, no significant improvement was observed in the social comfort domain (p = 0.463).Conclusion: The combination of intradialytic exercise and classical music therapy may improve the physiological and psychological comfort of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. This approach shows potential as an applicable, cost-effective, and easily accessible nursing intervention in clinical hemodialysis settings, although it does not significantly improve social comfort. However, given the quasi-experimental design and the small sample size, further research is needed to confirm these causal effects.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of impairment in the elderly, often resulting in decreased motor function and muscle strength. Effective rehabilitation strategies, including non-pharmacological interventions such as rubber ball grip therapy and walking exercises, are essential for improving independence and quality of life among elderly stroke patients. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining walking exercises with rubber ball grip therapy to improve muscle strength in elderly patients who have experienced a stroke. Methods: The study employed a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. Conducted in April 2025 at a social institution for the elderly in Central Java, the research employed a total sampling approach to recruit 26 respondents, with 13 in the intervention group and 13 in the control group. The intervention was administered four times per week over two weeks. Muscle strength was measured using an observation sheet in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test. Results: The intervention group showed a significant increase in muscle strength after receiving the combined therapy (p = .001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p = 1.000). The Mann–Whitney test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (p < .001), confirming the intervention's effectiveness. Conclusion and Recommendation: The combination of walking exercises and rubber ball grip therapy effectively improves muscle strength in elderly stroke patients. This intervention is straightforward, low-cost, and can enhance independence, making it suitable for implementation in geriatric nursing practice. Future studies should consider larger sample sizes and longer intervention periods.

Abstract

Background: Nurse prescribing roles are increasingly adopted by global healthcare systems to address workforce shortages and enhance patient access. However, the potential for implementing such roles in Pakistan has not been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of nurses, physicians, and patients regarding nurse prescribing in Pakistan. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Sukkur, Pakistan. A quota-based non-random sampling approach was used to recruit 200 participants, including registered nurses, physicians, and patients. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire (Cronbach’s α=0.75) and analyzed with descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: Awareness of nurse prescribing was reported by 82.9% of nurses and 70.0% of physicians. Despite this, support for independent prescribing remained limited; 80.0% of patients, 68.6% of physicians, and 48.6% of nurses preferred the role to remain strictly under physician supervision. Nurses demonstrated the most positive attitudes toward nurse prescribing (38.1%), while physicians achieved the highest knowledge scores (4.91±2.21). Statistically significant differences were observed among the groups in both knowledge (F=24.27, p<0.001) and attitudes (F=34.72, p<0.001). Conclusion: Although Pakistani nurses exhibit readiness and positive attitudes toward prescribing, significant barriers persist, such as physician resistance and limited patient trust. Effective integration of nurse prescribing roles will require strengthened nursing curricula, the establishment of clear regulatory frameworks, and improved interprofessional collaboration.
