Abstract

Background: Adolescents losing their parents is the worst event they experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescents raise a traumatic response after a loss occurs.Objective: This study aims to explore the description of the condition of adolescents in dealing with the loss of parents due to COVID-19.Methods: Qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. The number of participants is 12 people with the criteria of youth aged 10-19 years consisting of men and women who have lost their parents due to COVID-19. Interview data were processed using the Colaizzi technique.Results: Four themes through the theme analysis, namely adolescents are not ready to face sudden loss, adolescents experience suffering due to the loss of parents, adolescents find it difficult to go through the loss process, and changes occur in adolescents due to the loss of parents.Conclusion: The findings of this study show that the sudden loss of parents due to COVID-19 harms adolescent mental health. As a result, mental health nurses in the community need to detect adolescents early for signs of stress and anxiety due to the loss of parents and take steps to strengthen adolescents' self-defense after loss.

Abstract

Background: The practice of infant and young children still does not meet the WHO guidelines, although different types of education have been carried out to increase mothers' knowledge of infant and young children's feeding practices.Objective: To identify the effectiveness of digital education and direct education in increasing the knowledge and practice of infants and children aged 6-23 months.Method: The research design is a systematic review using PRISMA flow. The databases used to search for articles in English published in the period 2013 to 2023 are Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and MEDLINE using the search keywords ‘Mother OR maternal’, ‘Children OR infants’, ‘Digital based AND health education method’, and ‘Complementary feeding’. A total of 461 articles were obtained using RCT, quasi-experiment, and combined RCT-cohort research designs. Researchers use the Covidence tool for the data selection process through the extraction. Risk of bias assessment uses the JBI instrument to evaluate articles.Results: Four articles detail the efficacy of digital-based education (utilizing smartphone applications, WeChat, WhatsApp, and digital job aid education), while five articles delve into the effectiveness of direct education approaches (peer counseling, personalized counseling, and home visits). Another article examines the effectiveness of both home visits and interactive voice calls. The research spanned multiple countries, including Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, China, Cambodia, Iran, and Brazil, encompassing a participant pool ranging from 110 to 1885 research subjects. Findings indicate that digital education enhances mothers’ understanding of nutrition, essential knowledge, practices in providing complementary feeding in line with IYCF guidelines, and mother’s confidence in preparing complementary foods. Moreover, direct education increased compliance with suggested feeding practices, encompassing dietary variety, intake of animal protein, and the consumption of iron-rich foods.Conclusion: Nurses can enhance knowledge and practice of complementary feeding by embracing digital education as a potential solution and concurrently promoting cultural sensitivity and tailored education.

Abstract

Background: The challenge of fatigue significantly affects children undergoing cancer treatment, impacting their overall well-being and quality of life. Unlike their healthy counterparts, pediatric cancer patients grapple with the demanding impacts of chemotherapy, leading to anemia and nutritional deficiencies that exacerbate fatigue. Beyond fatigue, chemotherapy alters appetite, nutrient utilization, and mental function. Fatigue's multidimensional impact, marked by reduced energy and increased need for rest, can detrimentally affect the quality of life for pediatric patients. Understanding these challenges is essential for devising tailored strategies that comprehensively address the unique needs of children undergoing cancer treatment, enhancing their overall well-being and quality of life.Objective: This research aims were to determine the relationship between anemia and nutritional status with the occurrence of fatigue in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy at Dharmais Cancer Hospital in Jakarta.Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study conducted in August 2022 included a sample of 24 children selected through accidental sampling. Demographic and disease characteristics, such as age, gender, cancer type, cancer stage, and treatment duration, were collected through a questionnaire. Anemia was determined by hemoglobin levels (12 mg/dl), and nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index. Fatigue was measured with tailored instruments for different age groups: the Parent Fatigue Scale (PFS) for children under 7 years and the Child Fatigue Scale (CFS) for those aged 7 years and older. Statistical analyses included univariate assessment, bivariate analysis with the chi-square test, and logistic regression.Results: Demographic analysis revealed a predominantly male sample (70.8%) with a significant adolescent presence (41.7%) and a prevalence of leukemia (37.5%). Most participants were in early cancer stages (58.3%), undergoing treatment for over a year (62.5%). Anemia was common (54.2%), and 58.3% were underweight. High fatigue prevalence was observed (62.5%). Chi-square analysis found no significant gender or cancer stage differences in fatigue. Age and treatment duration showed no significant associations with fatigue. Logistic regression revealed a significant association between anemia and fatigue in the first model (p = 0.022, Exp. B = 0.104). The second model, incorporating nutritional status, showed a non-significant relationship with anemia but a notable association with normal nutritional status and fatigue (p = 0.022, Exp. 0.059). This underscores the crucial role of nutritional interventions in mitigating fatigue.Conclusion: This study highlights a significant relationship between anemia and nutritional status with fatigue in children undergoing chemotherapy. These findings underscore the importance of considering anemia and nutritional interventions when providing care to pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Nurses play a vital role in addressing these concerns and enhancing the overall well-being of children with cancer.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Bengkulu City has decreased over the last three years. Mothers' confidence in their abilities and good mental health become an essential part of supporting exclusive breastfeeding.Objective: This study aims to examine the differences between self-efficacy and mental health of mothers based on their breastfeeding status, located in Bengkulu City.Methods: The researchers employed a cross-sectional approach to analyze the study. The sample consisted of 72 mothers with infants aged 0-6 months. The researchers selected the samples using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a digital questionnaire (via Google Forms) through validity and reliability tests. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test. The mean self-efficacy score of partially breastfeeding mothers is lower than that of exclusively breastfeeding mothers. The mean mental health score of partially breastfeeding mothers is higher than that of exclusively breastfeeding mothers.Results: The results of the independent t-test found that the average self-efficacy score of exclusively breastfeeding mothers was 55.58, and the average mental health score of partially breastfeeding mothers was 10.32.Conclusion: There was a difference in the self-efficacy and mental health scores of partially and exclusively breastfeeding mothers. A high self-efficacy score indicates high maternal confidence. Meanwhile, high mental health scores indicate that mothers experience symptoms of psychological disorders. The achievement of successful exclusive breastfeeding is closely related to boosting self-assurance and preserving a mother's mental well-being.
