Abstract

Background: Rapid technological development has increased gadget use among elementary school children, raising concerns regarding its influence on social behavior and developmental outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the impact of gadget use on the social behavior of elementary school children through a literature review approach. Methods: This study employed a literature review design following PRISMA guidelines to synthesize evidence from scientific publications. The literature search was conducted using the Google Scholar database with keywords related to gadget use, elementary school children, and learning outcomes. The search was limited to articles published between 2019 and 2024. Ten relevant studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed through narrative synthesis to identify patterns and key findings related to gadget use and children's social behavior. Results: The results indicate that gadget use among elementary school children produces both positive and negative effects on social behavior. Excessive screen exposure tends to reduce children's direct social interaction and may contribute to behavioral dependency. Several studies show that prolonged gadget use may also influence children's emotional regulation, attention, and physical activity. However, controlled gadget use under parental supervision may support learning activities, information access, and digital literacy development. Parental involvement and balanced usage patterns play an important role in minimizing negative impacts and supporting children's social development. Conclusion: Gadget use significantly influences the social behavior of elementary school children depending on the duration of use, parental supervision, and usage context. Balanced digital media exposure combined with parental guidance may help optimize children's social and developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The management of narcotic drugs in healthcare facilities requires strict control because these medicines have significant therapeutic benefits while also posing a high potential for misuse. Inappropriate practices in narcotic drug use, storage, and administration may increase the risk of medication errors and regulatory violations. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the use, storage, and administration of narcotic drugs in pharmacies, hospitals, and community health centers through a comprehensive literature review. Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review design following the PRISMA 2020 guideline recommended by the EQUATOR Network. Literature searches were conducted in the Google Scholar database using keywords related to the evaluation of narcotic drug use, storage, and administration in healthcare facilities. Articles published between 2020 and 2024 were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. From 236 identified records, 21 articles met the eligibility criteria and were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach. Results:The review showed that narcotic drug use in pharmacies was predominantly associated with codeine-containing preparations, whereas hospitals maintained a broader range of narcotic drugs including fentanyl, morphine, and pethidine. Community health centers mainly utilized methadone as part of methadone maintenance therapy programs. Storage compliance was generally high in pharmacies, while hospitals showed moderate variation and community health centers demonstrated more limitations in storage infrastructure. Administrative compliance was generally adequate, although several studies reported incomplete documentation of physician and patient information. Conclusion: Narcotic drug management across healthcare facilities is generally implemented according to regulatory standards, although variations in compliance remain in terms of use, storage, and administrative procedures. Strengthening monitoring systems, improving pharmaceutical workforce capacity, and ensuring consistent implementation of standard operating procedures are necessary to enhance the safety and accountability of narcotic drug management.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section often results in acute postoperative pain that may interfere with maternal recovery during the postpartum period. Effective pain management therefore becomes an essential component of nursing care to improve patient comfort and recovery outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to describe the application of nursing care using deep breathing relaxation to reduce acute pain in post–cesarean section patients. Methods: A descriptive case study design was conducted involving four post–cesarean patients in the maternity ward of Siti Fatimah Regional General Hospital Palembang in June 2025. Deep breathing relaxation therapy was implemented as a nursing intervention for two consecutive days. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and physical examination. Pain assessment was conducted using the PQRST approach and numeric pain scale before and after the intervention. Results: The findings showed that all patients experienced a reduction in pain intensity after the deep breathing relaxation intervention. Pain scores decreased from moderate levels (4–5) to 2–3 on the first day and further declined to 1–2 on the second day of intervention. Patients also demonstrated reduced behavioral signs of discomfort, improved sleep duration, and increased mobility during recovery. Conclusion: Deep breathing relaxation as a nursing intervention effectively reduces acute pain and improves comfort among post–cesarean section patients. This technique can be integrated into maternal nursing practice as a safe and effective non-pharmacological pain management strategy.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common psychological burden experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The prolonged dialysis procedures, lifelong dependence on dialysis machines, and uncertainty regarding future health conditions contribute to significant emotional distress among patients. In clinical practice, however, psychological aspects often receive less attention compared to the management of physical conditions. Untreated anxiety may negatively affect patients’ quality of life and adherence to treatment. This article highlights the importance of the nursing role in recognizing, understanding, and alleviating anxiety among hemodialysis patients through a holistic nursing approach. Nurses occupy a strategic position as they interact most frequently and continuously with patients during dialysis sessions. Through therapeutic communication, empathy, and psychosocial interventions such as relaxation techniques, patient education, and emotional support, nurses can help patients manage anxiety more effectively. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited human resources, high workload, and insufficient institutional support for psychosocial care in dialysis settings. Strengthening nurses’ competencies in therapeutic communication and emotional support, alongside institutional commitment to integrating psychosocial care into routine dialysis services, is essential to promote patient-centered care. Enhancing the nursing role in addressing psychological needs is expected to improve the quality of life and psychological well-being of patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Background: Nurses are at heightened risk of COVID-19 exposure due to their close contact with infected patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many nurses in Vietnam were infected and required to undergo hospital-based isolation. Despite the critical role of nurses in pandemic response, limited evidence exists regarding their personal experiences during the isolation process. Objective: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of Vietnamese nurses who were infected with COVID-19 and underwent hospital-based isolation. Methods: A qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenological approach was conducted using Colaizzi’s method of analysis. Seven registered nurses from a public hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, who had completed hospital isolation and tested negative for COVID-19 were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth face-to-face interviews conducted between March and June 2022. Thematic analysis was used to identify key experiences and meanings. Results: Three major themes emerged from the analysis. Before isolation, nurses experienced emotional shock, fear of transmitting the infection to others, and perceived social stigma. During isolation, participants reported loneliness, worsening physical symptoms, reliance on spiritual coping, and limited professional support. After isolation, nurses described persistent physical fatigue, spiritual growth, and a renewed sense of empathy and professional advocacy. Peer support and spiritual practices were identified as important factors in strengthening emotional resilience. Conclusion: Hospital isolation among nurses infected with COVID-19 generates significant psychological and spiritual challenges in addition to physical illness. Comprehensive support strategies, including mental health services, spiritual care, reintegration planning, and equitable treatment of healthcare workers when they become patients, are necessary to improve well-being and strengthen preparedness for future health emergencies.
