Abstract

Background: Premature neonates often struggle with oral feeding due to physiological immaturity, necessitating skilled nursing support during the transition from tube to oral feeding. Knowledge Gap: Despite the critical role of nurses in this process, there is limited evidence on their practices and the factors influencing their effectiveness. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate nurses' practices in caring for neonates transitioning to oral feeding and to identify predictive factors, such as education and training, that influence these practices. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Batoul Training Hospital in the Diyala Governorate from October 2023 to February 2024. A non-probability convenience sample of 60 nurses was assessed using a 35-item checklist, validated by experts and tested for reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.81). Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics, with simple linear regression employed to identify relationships between nurses’ practices and demographic variables. Results: The findings revealed that 86.7% of nurses exhibited inadequate practices, with the majority (65.0%) having less than 5 years of experience and 85.0% not attending training courses. Regression analysis indicated that education level (p = 0.007) and attendance of training courses (p = 0.001) were significant predictors of practice quality. Novelty: This study is among the first to quantify the inadequacy of nurses' practices in the transition to oral feeding in a developing country context, highlighting education and training as critical areas for intervention. Implications: The results underscore the urgent need for healthcare organizations to implement comprehensive training programs and educational initiatives aimed at improving neonatal care practices, particularly in NICUs, to ensure better health outcomes for preterm infants. Highlights: Significant nurse practice deficiencies in neonate oral feeding transition. Education and training crucial for improving nurse performance. Need for comprehensive neonatal care training programs. Keywords: Premature neonates, oral feeding, neonatal care, nurse practices, training programs

Abstract

General Background: Academic procrastination is a common behavioral problem among students characterized by delaying task initiation and completion, which may hinder learning development and academic performance. Specific Background: Internal psychological regulation, such as self-control, and external environmental factors, including peer social support, are recognized as determinants associated with academic procrastination among adolescents in school settings. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies generally examined either self-control or peer social support in relation to academic procrastination, while empirical investigations simultaneously examining these variables within a single analytical framework remain limited. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-control and peer social support with academic procrastination among students at SMA Ma’arif NU Pandaan. Results: Using an inferential quantitative design with 218 participants selected through accidental sampling, data were collected using three measurement scales consisting of 28 self-control items (reliability 0.919), 22 peer social support items (reliability 0.729), and 43 academic procrastination items (reliability 0.994), analyzed through multiple linear regression using JASP. The findings indicated a significant simultaneous relationship between self-control and peer social support with academic procrastination (F = 16.239; p < 0.001), with self-control contributing 5% and peer social support contributing 8.1% to academic procrastination variance, while both variables explained 13.1% of total variance. Regression analysis revealed that increased self-control and peer social support were associated with decreased academic procrastination scores. Novelty: This study integrates internal and external psychosocial variables simultaneously to examine academic procrastination among senior high school students. Implications: The results highlight the relevance of strengthening self-regulation capacity and supportive peer environments to address procrastination behavior in educational contexts.

Abstract

General Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by persistent inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that interfere with learning activities and daily functioning. Specific Background: Play therapy using educational game media, such as Bunchems—colored interlocking balls assembled into various shapes—has been proposed as a behavioral modification strategy combined with reinforcement techniques to facilitate attention control in children. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have explored play therapy for ADHD, yet limited empirical evidence documents reinforcement-based Bunchems play using single subject research designs to examine attention-related behavioral indicators. Aims: This study examined the role of reinforcement-based Bunchems play therapy in supporting attention ability in a child diagnosed with ADHD. Results: Using a quantitative quasi-experimental single subject research with an A–B design, observations were conducted across four baseline sessions and eight intervention sessions involving a six-year-old participant. Baseline findings showed the participant could distinguish only two to three color groups and frequently experienced attention distraction. During the intervention, reinforcement through praise and applause accompanied Bunchems play tasks, resulting in the participant distinguishing up to five color groups and maintaining task completion with fewer distractions, although statistical stability remained variable and changes were not significant. Novelty: This study introduces reinforcement-integrated Bunchems play as a structured behavioral modification approach within a single-subject experimental framework. Implications: The findings indicate Bunchems play therapy combined with reinforcement may serve as an alternative intervention strategy to support attention-related learning processes in children with ADHD, particularly when implemented repeatedly and over extended durations. Highlights: Color-Group Task Performance Increased From Limited Differentiation to Full Grouping Accuracy. Motivational Feedback Maintained Task Completion and Reduced Observable Distraction Behavior. Behavioral Observation Data Demonstrated Variable Yet Observable Upward Performance Trends Across Intervention Sessions. Keywords: ADHD, Bunchems Play Therapy, Reinforcement Technique, Attention Ability, Single Subject Research
