Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the occupational stress levels among Indonesian nurses and midwives working in Saudi Arabian healthcare settings. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study assessed occupational stress among Indonesian nurses and midwives working in Saudi Arabia using the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS). A total of 166 respondents (85 nurses and 81 midwives) completed the survey from a professional WhatsApp group. A convenience sampling was attempted, and only those who voluntarily responded to the questionnaire were included. The primary dependent variable was occupational stress, while the independent variables included profession (nurse and midwife), age, sex, education level, workplace setting, marital status, and years of experience. The analytical tests used were Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis. Results: Occupational stress among nurses (Mean = 109) and midwives (Mean = 107) was low in psychological, physical, and social environments. Workload was the most stressful factor for both nurses (Mean = 20.44) and midwives (Mean = 18.88). We found a significant difference in the level of stress based on their workplace (p = 0.038) and educational background (p = 0.005). There was no difference in the level of stress between nurses and midwives (p = 0.188). Conclusions: In comparison, either nurses or midwives have a low level of occupational stress, which is related to psychological, physical, and social environments based on ENSS tools. Therefore, optimal healthcare management and policy should be maintained and improved for migrant nurses and midwives to foster better, sustainable healthcare development in the future.

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted older adults, particularly those with chronic illnesses, due to their heightened vulnerability and limited access to care. In Northeastern Thailand, many older adults live alone and face multifaceted health and social challenges. This study aimed to explore the problems and needs of older adults and their families infected with COVID-19 within the social and cultural context of this region. Methods: A qualitative content analysis was conducted using data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), field notes, and participant observations in community settings. A total of 48 informants were purposively selected, including representatives from public and community organizations, health service units, local administrative organizations, local leaders and village headmen, and older adults and their family members who had been infected with COVID-19. Results: The study identified five key themes reflecting the problems and needs of older adults and their families affected by COVID-19. Socially, participants experienced isolation and limited access to support networks. Economic challenges included income loss and insufficient financial assistance. Environmental issues involved inadequate housing and restricted access to essential services. Health-related problems encompassed physical decline and limited healthcare access. Politically and administratively, delays in assistance and ineffective coordination among agencies were reported. Conclusions: Older adults and their families infected with COVID-19 encounter complex and multidimensional challenges. Community nurses play a vital role as health system managers in addressing these needs and ensuring accessible and appropriate primary health care services.

Abstract

Introduction: Despite the recognized importance of assessing nursing students' attitudes toward statistics and research, no validated instruments exist specifically for the Filipino context. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Filipino adaptations of the Survey of Attitudes toward Statistics (SATS-F) and Attitudes toward Research (ATR-F) scales. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey design, using convenience sampling, was employed to collect data from August to October 2022. Participants were Filipino nursing students taking nursing research and statistics courses who were at least 18 years old. Participants with >10% incomplete data on any instrument were excluded. Results: Descriptive statistics showed mean scores ranging from 4.45 to 6.10 for ATR-F items and 2.88 to 5.55 for SATS-F items. A strong content validity was demonstrated, with S-CVI/Ave values of 0.94 for ATR-F and 0.98 for SATS-F. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed 75.3% of the cumulative explained variance for ATR-F and 61.9% for SATS-F. Pearson correlation analysis further supported construct validity, revealing a significant positive relationship (r = 0.50, p < 0.001) between ATR-F and SATS-F, which indicates a strong association between nursing students' attitudes toward research and statistics. Internal consistency reliability was established, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.87 for ATR-F and 0.90 for SATS-F. Conclusions: SATS-F and ATR-F possess sound psychometric properties, rendering them reliable tools for assessing Filipino nursing students' attitudes toward statistics and research. Educators and researchers can use these culturally adapted and validated instruments to develop targeted interventions to enhance nursing students' preparedness for research-informed practice.

Abstract

Introduction: Individuals with heart failure anticipate adjustment to self-care behaviors following hospital discharge. Self-care in heart failure includes medication adherence, dietary modifications, symptom monitoring, and activity adjustment. Adequate self-care behavior may contribute to enhanced outcomes, decreased hospitalization, and improved quality of life in patients with heart failure. This study aimed to determine the level of self-care behavior, quality of life, and its relationships among patients with heart failure. Methods: A cross-sectional study using purposive sampling was conducted among 200 heart failure patients at a teaching hospital in Selangor, Malaysia. The sample size was determined using G*Power to ensure adequate statistical power. Data were collected using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple linear regression were used in this study. Results: The results indicated that the total mean score of self-care behavior was 145.42 and SD=16.23. Most patients demonstrated good quality of life (n=73, 36.5%), moderate quality of life (n=62, 31%), and poor quality of life (n=65, 32.5 %). Pearson's correlation revealed a significant (p<0.001) correlation (r = 0.651) between self-care behavior and quality of life. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study demonstrated that higher levels of self-care are associated with better quality of life in patients with heart failure. It is recommended that nurses provide individualized self-care education at discharge, focusing on medication adherence, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle changes to improve quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Pressure ulcers (PUs) remain a global health issue, contributing to increased morbidity and premature mortality. Nurses play a central role in prevention, underscoring the significant role in addressing this issue through the rapidly evolving healthcare environment.  Clinical competence requires sound knowledge, attitude, and practice that contribute to excellent outcomes, focusing on individual patient needs and the changing conditions of the healthcare setting. Therefore, this study is aimed to evaluate nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices on preventing PUs. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted across three public hospitals in Malaysia. Using the two-stage cluster sampling strategy, registered nurses were recruited (n=210). Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire with good reliability scores (α=0.76–0.82). Descriptive and inferential analyses were computed to address the objectives. Results: Findings revealed low knowledge score (M=67.07, SD=7.78), neutral attitudes (M=73.28, SD=10.37), and excellent practices for pressure ulcer prevention (M=86.78, SD=15.05). Nurses’ attitudes were positively correlated with their practices (p<0.05), though no significant associations were observed between demographic factors and knowledge, attitude, and practice (p>0.05). Conclusions: The findings provide valuable information about nurses' understanding of pressure ulcer prevention that may assist with future strategies and interventions to enhance the knowledge and attitudes among practicing nurses. The identified gaps may be filled with targeted interventions, and future studies looking at variables affecting nurses' attitudes and practices, and the effectiveness of educational interventions can be beneficial.

Abstract

Introduction: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based Husband Empowerment Module in enhancing husbands' preparedness behaviors for postpartum contraceptive support. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-posttest control group design was conducted at two community health centers in Samarinda, Indonesia. Sixty husbands of third-trimester pregnant women were recruited through a combination of sampling, purposive sampling, and random sampling. Purposive sampling was used to choose the treatment group, and random sampling was used to select the participants, who were assigned to the intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group received a comprehensive 12-session HBM-based module delivered through antenatal care visits, home visits, group discussions, and WhatsApp support over three months. Preparedness behavior was measured using validated questionnaires assessing awareness, facilitation ability, and appreciation. Nonparametric statistical analyses were employed. Results: Post-intervention, the treatment group demonstrated significant improvements across all preparedness dimensions: awareness median scores increased from 9.0 to 11.0 (p<0.001), facilitation ability, from 5.0 to 6.0 (p<0.001), and appreciation from 4.0 to 5.0 (p<0.001), while the control group showed no significant changes (all p>0.05). Between-group comparisons revealed substantially higher preparedness in the intervention group with large effect sizes. Notably, 83.3% of intervention participants achieved good facilitation ability compared to 0% at baseline. Conclusions: The HBM-based Husband Empowerment Module effectively enhanced husbands' preparedness for postpartum contraceptive support, suggesting that structured interventions can improve husband involvement in postpartum care and maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Effective self-management is essential for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), yet patients in Indonesia often encounter persistent barriers. This study explores patients’ perspectives on the challenges they face as well as the perceived supports available within the primary healthcare system. Methods: A qualitative case study approach, based on Yin’s methodology, was employed. Guided by Habermas’s theory of communicative action and Honneth’s theory of recognition, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 patients, 28 clinical observations of patient–provider encounters, and one focus group with five healthcare professionals. Participants were recruited from a suburban primary healthcare center in Indonesia using purposive sampling. Reflexivity and field notes were maintained throughout the data collection process. Data were analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis. Triangulation across data sources helped enhance credibility and trustworthiness. Results: Five key themes emerged: (1) Medical dominance in care provision, (2) Communication gaps, (3) Regulation-centered care, (4) Care quality, and (5) Patient self-empowerment. These themes reveal systemic, structural, and interpersonal barriers that constrain effective diabetes self-management in primary care. Conclusions: Understanding the lived experiences of patients with T2DM is critical to informing practice and policy. To overcome these barriers, a shift toward patient-centered care, improved communication, and more inclusive support systems is essential within Indonesia’s healthcare system.
