Abstract

Background: Working abroad certainly has challenges, especially when the job involves high responsibilities, such as being a nurse. The combination of the job tasks and the foreign environment potentially led to more stress, particularly for migrant nurses, including Indonesian nurses who work in the Netherlands.Objective: This study aims to explore the types of stress experienced by nurses from Indonesia working in the Netherlands.Methods: This qualitative research employed interview techniques and a literature review. The data were analyzed using coding systems in Microsoft Excel. Seven questions were used to conduct online interviews in October 2023 with five Indonesian nurses employed in the Netherlands. Simultaneously, a literature review was carried out by searching for publications on Wiley Online, Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct. Journal articles found were then selected according to predetermined criteria. Seven questions were used to conduct interviews with five Indonesian nurses who were employed in the Netherlands.Results: The results of the interviews and literature review demonstrated that the types of stress for Indonesian nurses working in the Netherlands are physiological and psychological stress (in terms of the nature of the stressor), negative stress (in terms of the effect of stress on the individual), and acute stress (in terms of the duration of exposure to the stressor).Conclusion: Indonesian migrant nurses in the Netherlands experience physiological and psychological stress with negative effects, highlighting the need for further research with a larger sample size for more credible and diverse results.

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.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is one type of malignancy in breast tissue that is experienced by many women throughout the world, including in Indonesia. Breast cancer shows high morbidity and mortality rates. The East Java Provincial Health Office noted that breast cancer cases have increased from year to year.  The conditions and the process of cancer treatment can lead to psychological problems, including depression.Objective: This research aims to analyze the determinant factors that influence depression levels in breast cancer survivors.Methods: This study utilized the correlation method. The study was conducted in East Java. 158 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The data collection method used was face-to-face. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software, including cross-tabulation and multivariate linear regression test with alpha 0.05.Results: Research findings show that marital status (p=0.021) is related to social support (p=0.002), physical condition (p=0.003), and the level of depression, but there was no relationship between age (p=0.281), the level of education (p=0.752) and the length of illness (p=0.265) and depression levels in breast cancer survivors.Conclusion: It is concluded that the determinants of factors that influence the level of depression are marital status, social support, and physical condition in survivors of breast cancer. Breast cancer survivors are expected to maintain their enthusiasm and not give up to avoid depression, which can reduce their health status.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition characterized by the failure to thrive in toddlers, attributed to chronic malnutrition, resulting in shorter stature relative to their age. Mothers play a crucial role in the care of stunted toddlers.Objective: This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of mothers in caring for stunted toddlers, employing a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach.Methods: The participants in this study comprised ten mothers serving as the primary caregivers for stunted toddlers aged between 19 and 36 years. Participants  were purposively selected, with criteria including being the primary caregiver and a willingness to participate. Data collection involved interviews and observations, and the analysis was then conducted using the Collaizi technique.Results: The findings of this study revealed six overarching themes: breastfeeding history, variations in complementary feeding, a spectrum of emotions experienced by mothers, wishes  for their children, the need for a robust support system, and barriers to feeding. Mothers' experiences in caring for stunted toddlers can provide valuable insights into their needs so that interventions can be designed to address the problems faced by other mothers of stunted toddlers.Conclusion: Mothers' experiences in caring for stunted toddlers can provide valuable insights into their needs so that interventions can be designed to address the problems faced by other mothers of stunted toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers pose a severe complication for individuals with diabetes mellitus, necessitating effective therapeutic support such as albumin nutrition throughout the wound healing process. Derived from Channa striata, a commonly consumed source of albumin in Indonesia, this extract can potentially expedite wound healing.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Channa striata extract nutrition in accelerating the inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation phases of diabetic foot ulcer healing.Methods: This quantitative study employed a pra-experimental design using a single-group pretest-posttest approach. The study involved 30 diabetic patients who were administered a daily dose of 550 grams of Channa striata extract over four weeks. The Bates Jensen Assessment Tool (BWAT) assessed wound progress.Results: Results revealed that the average participant age was 60.2 years, with an average diabetic history of seven years. The average wound duration was 8.7 weeks; 66.7% of the participants were female; 70% had Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM); and 56.7% were at stage IV. The study found a significant difference in BWAT scores before and after the administration of Channa striata extract in diabetic foot ulcer patients.Conclusion: This study supports the effectiveness of Channa striata extract as an adjunct therapy in expediting the wound-healing phases in diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract

Background: Post-COVID-19 survivors or patients show deterioration in respiratory function, physical symptoms, musculoskeletal strength, quality of life (QoL), and psychological problems due to persistent symptoms. These symptoms are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced antioxidants, and oxidative stress. Physical exercise has been proven to positively affect general and psychological health.Objective: This study intended to explore physical exercise's effect on post-COVID-19 survivors.Methods: Literature in this scoping review was searched from seven databases, including Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus, Ovid-MEDLINE, and Web of Science. A manual search from Google Scholar and citations from previous meta-analyses were also performed. The keywords are “physical exercise” OR “physical activity” AND “post-COVID” OR “Long COVID.” Studies were included if involving patients with post-COVID diagnosis. However, studies that did not focus on post-COVID-19 focused on respiratory rehabilitation and had no complete data were excluded from this review.Results: 33 studies from 1.909 were included (30 from databases and three citations from previous meta-analyses). Physical activity for post-COVID survivors can improve lung function, exercise capacity, functional capacity, physical symptoms (for instance, pain, fatigue), psychological or QoL, and also biochemical and hematological variables (for example, platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, creatinine, and urea).Conclusion: Physical activity programs may represent an important supportive therapy for post-COVID-19 survivors. Therefore, health workers are encouraged to closely monitor respiratory parameters or post-COVID-19 patient symptoms and motivate patients to perform physical exercise.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which the body is unable to maintain balance in metabolism, fluids, and electrolytes due to irreparable damage to kidney function. One of the problems that can occur in hemodialysis patients is thirst. Therefore, it is important to treat thirst. Gargling with peppermint water is one way to quench thirst and overcome it.Objective: The purpose of this study was to find out whether gargling with peppermint water is effective in reducing thirst in kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis at Harapan dan Doa Hospital Bengkulu.Method: This study used quasi-experimental methods. The population in this study is 65 patients suffering from chronic kidney failure and undergoing hemodialysis at Harapan dan Doa Hospital in Bengkulu City. The total sample of this study amounted to 36 people who followed the treatment in Harapan dan Doa Hospital Bengkulu, which were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group of 18 people and the control group of 18 people. A purposive sampling technique was used in this study. In addition, visual analog scale instruments for assessing thirst were used as questionnaires to assess thirst.Result: The study showed that there was a difference in average thirst sensation between the intervention groups and the control group. For the Mann-Whitney statistical test for thirst, the p-value was 0.026 (p-value ≤ α 0.05). This suggested that gargling with peppermint water affected thirst in hemodialysis patients.Conclusion: Hence peppermint water gargle therapy may be recommended as a non-drug treatment to control taste thirst in renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis.

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.

Background: Hypertension causes various health problems worldwide, including in Indonesia. High blood pressure that occurs in productive age and unmanaged properly can increase various risks of disease which amya lead to health burden nationally and globally.  . Currently, the lifestyle of the productive age group contributes to obesity and hypertension, amplifying the risk factors for increased Cardiovascular Disease (CVD).Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between obesity indicators and blood pressure in the productive age group.Methods:  A survey was conducted at a total of  150 respondents aged 25-64 years who had jobs, had no impaired physical mobility, and had no pregnancy. . Measurements included Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR), and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR). The data was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test.Results: The majority of the respondents were male, aged 30-39 and 40-49 years, normal range of BMI and waist circumference, but WHR and WHtR on high risk. More than half of the total respondents in the productive age group had blood pressure in the normal range. There was a strongest positive correlation between waist circumference with SBP and BMI with DBP.Conclusion: Individuals in the productive age group with higher waist circumference and BMI are more prone to elevated blood pressure. Regular health screening and lifestyle change intervention are crucial to prevent hypertension in the productive age group.
