Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are one of the most frequent causes of death in children especially in developing countries, the disease is mostly caused by viruses. ARI is the cause of four out of 15 million deaths in children under the age of 5 each year and as many as two-thirds of those deaths occur in infants. The number of ARI sufferers in Papua Province in 2019 was recorded at 285,793 cases and the results of a survey at the Hom-Hom Health Center in 2019 showed the number of ARI cases was 769 people, including 16.4% aged less than 1 year and 15.1% aged 1-4 years. Seeing the high incidence of ARI, public health efforts are needed in preventing ARI. Health efforts that have been carried out are in the form of health counseling, supplementary feeding, and immunization of DPT and measles, as well as treatment. Based on the description above, the researcher raised "The Relationship between Knowledge and Maternal Attitudes towards ARI Disease in Likino Village, Hom-Hom Health Center Working Area, Jayawijaya Regency. This research is a quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional approach. The size of the sample is based on the non-random quota sampling method, then the quota or sample allotment is determined as many as 30 respondents. The results of the study obtained that mothers who have good knowledge have the potential for children to suffer from ARI by 10%, mothers who have sufficient knowledge have the potential for children to suffer from ARI by 35%, and mothers who have less knowledge have the potential for children to suffer from ARI by 55%. Based on the attitude obtained by mothers with a positive attitude, the potential for children to suffer from ARI is 20% and mothers who have a negative attitude have the potential for children to suffer from ARI by 80%. The results of data analysis with the Chi-Square statistical test showed that the significance value of sig (2-tailed) 0.025 < 0.05 for knowledge and attitudes which means that there is a strong relationship between knowledge and maternal attitudes towards the incidence of ARI Disease.

Background: The dengue Fever is the fastest emerging arboviral infection spread by Aedes mosquitos with superior in public health impact in over 100 tropical and sub-tropical in South East Asia, western Pacific and South and Central America. More up to 2.5 billion people globally lives under the threat of dengue fever and its severe forms dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndromes (DSS). More than 75% of these people, or approximately 1.8 billion, live in the Asia Pacific Region. As the diseases spreads to new geographical areas, the frequency of the outbreaks is increasing along with a changing disease epidemiology. It is estimated that 50 million people suffering of DHF required hospitalization each year, a must large proportion of whom (approximately 90%) are children less than five years old. About 2.5% of those affected with dengue die of the illness. Objective: The study to spread knowledge of present situation of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever shock syndrome this occurs in Timor-Leste in January 2020 until February 2022 by epidemiological approach. Research Design: The study adopted an analysis descriptive cross-sectional research based on data epidemiological health system information the Ministry of Health, Hospitals and Health Centers. Subject and sampling: The total number of study subjects was 506 (48 health professionals 1451 caregivers and their children under 5 years and 29 managers on health care settings). Setting: This investigation was carried out in the twenty-nine primary health settings affiliated in Health Municipality of Timor-Leste. Study tools: Three tools where use for data collection 1-Health professionals occupational and educational qualifications data assessment sheet. 2-Observation checklist of case management action. 3-Manager’s feedback self- administrate questionnaire.

Introduction: The most common stress experienced by students is academic stress. Academic stress is defined as an individual situation understood and experienced by the student when entering higher education, or excellent high-level academic training. Objectives: To assess the levels of stress in practical teaching of students of the 3rd year of Nursing at the National University Timor Lorosa'e. Methodology: a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The present study was carried out at the National University of TimorLorosae, in a sample of 83 nursing students from the 3rd year of 2021, of the degree in nursing. Data collection was carried out during the month of October 2021 and through self-response, a questionnaire was carried out with closed questions to explore more primary data. Results: The total sample 97% are attending the 3rd year of the course and they have never failed and been admitted as approved. Mostly female (53%), with an average age of 22 years, in which it is intended to know the expression of the students' stress level throughout the course and its close relationship with gender and the degree year, it was possible to verify a test that nursing students experiencing stress during this period of professional competence development. Conclusion: Practical nursing and academic teaching stress is defined as a condition or circumstance that causes an imbalance in individuals, as a result of the evaluation or appreciation and students' perceptions of academic stressors, related to their professional experience at universities in a context of learning.

Introduction: COVID-19 is an acute, severe respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS II-Cov-19; corona virus transmitted between people that spread from positive patients of covid-1 virus through contact with droplets. Date from the Health Service Municipality of Lautem, total positive COVID-19 cases from 22nd of March 2020 until December of 2021 was 184 cases of morbidity and 5 cases of mortality. Objective: to describe the level of community’s knowledge about efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and to identify the level of knowledge (know, understand and apply) and to know the relationship between the level of knowledge of the community in the Nanacuro sub-village, Municipality of Lautem. Method: descriptive quantitative with cross-sectional aproximation using non probability sample with type accidental sampling and use questionnaires instrument. Results: Based on the results of the descriptive analysis the level of community’s knowledge about efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 showed level of good knowledge with 41.3%, sufficient knowledge with 46.8% and less knowledge with 11.9%. In statistical test Rankpearman correlation coefficient value or Pearson (p) = 0.000 means that less than the value 0.05 and the coefficient value correlated with the value 0.680. Conclusion: The level of knowledge (know, understanding and application) of the community on efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 majority is sufficient 46.8%, unless there is a strong relationship between the level of knowledge with efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

Background: Shared governance may be considered as both a guideline and a technique that allows nurses to have a say in decision-making measures. Rather of assigning full accountability to one nurse, it is distributed to each group member. In the face of high attrition, healthcare officials are still considering strategies to improve nurse job satisfaction and retention. Aim: The purpose of the study is to explore shared governance as an antecedent of intention to leave and job satisfaction among nurses in Level III government hospitals in Region III, Philippines. Materials and Methods: Quantitative descriptive type of research was used. A total of 806 nurses across six (6) Level III government hospitals in Region III, Philippines participated in the study. Three instruments were utilized namely: 1) Shared Governance was measured using the Index of Professional Nursing Governance by Hess (1998) used in the study of Wilson (2013); 2) Intention to Leave questionnaire by Mohammed and Mohammed (2013) used in the research of Ahmed, Abdelwahab, and Elguindy (2017) and 3) Job Satisfaction questionnaire by Mueller and McCloskey and used in the research of Prosen and Piskar (2015). Data was computed using SPSS version 25. Results: It revealed that shared governance is not an antecedent of the intention to leave among nurses. Even in terms of job satisfaction, shared governance is not an antecedent among its variables except for the control and responsibility which identified as significant. Conclusion: Nurses at all levels of the organization should govern and participate in decisions that influence their practice as part of the shared governance model; thus, allowing them to have greater independence and control over their practice leading to maintain job satisfaction and decrease intention to leave the institution.
背景:共享治理可以被认为是一种指导方针和技术,允许护士在决策措施中有发言权。它不是将全部责任分配给一名护士,而是分配给每个小组成员。面对高流失率,医疗官员仍在考虑提高护士工作满意度和保留率的策略。目的:本研究的目的是探讨共享治理在菲律宾第三区三级政府医院护士离职意向和工作满意度中的前置因素。材料与方法:采用定量描述性研究。菲律宾第三区六(6)所三级政府医院共有806名护士参与了这项研究。使用了三种工具,即:1)使用Hess(1998)在Wilson(2013)的研究中使用的专业护理治理指数来测量共享治理;2) Mohammed and Mohammed(2013)的离职意向问卷,用于Ahmed, Abdelwahab, and Elguindy(2017)的研究;3)Mueller and McCloskey的工作满意度问卷,用于Prosen and Piskar(2015)的研究。数据计算采用SPSS 25版。结果:结果表明,共享治理并不是护士离职意向的先决条件。即使在工作满意度方面,除了控制和责任之外,共享治理也不是其变量中的先决条件,这被认为是重要的。结论:作为共享治理模式的一部分,组织各级护士应治理和参与影响其实践的决策;因此,允许他们有更大的独立性和控制他们的实践,从而保持工作满意度和减少离开机构的意图。

Patients with sickle cell disease [1] have episodes of crisis that manifest as severe episodic experiences leading to multiple hospitalizations and recurrent readmissions for acute attacks and routine care [2]. In-hospital mortality is higher for patients who are readmitted versus those who are not. The estimated cost of care annually for the 100,000 patients with SCD in the United States exceeds $1.1 billion just from hospitalizations [3]. Readmissions affect the cost of healthcare in the US, and according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [4], readmission costs are higher than initial admissions. This project aimed to increase nurses’ knowledge in the care of sickle cell patients at a facility in Central New Jersey and decrease the readmission of patients with sickle cell, leading to better care outcomes.

Sleep problems are common among university students and approximately one third of the general population; however, little is known about the sleep quality of online Doctor of Nursing (DNP) students, and whether the flexible schedule offered by online programs helps support students to adopt a healthy sleep pattern. Guided by the Orem’s theory of self care and deficit, underpinned by DNP essentials, this DNP project examined the sleep quality of online DNP students before and after starting doctoral studies and the factors that influence their sleep quality. Two surveys: 1). Cross-sectional survey, and 2). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to collect data from Aspen University – DNP online students. Results suggest that the sleep quality of online DNP students is impacted by their studies. These findings suggest that online DNP students are not immune to the sleep problems that commonly plague brick and mortar university students. There may be a correlation between online studies and sleep quality, but further studies are needed to confirm this relationship. Application of this project and its findings is useful to the nursing profession and to other online programs. An effort may be to institute a health promotion strategy to assess the sleep quality of new incoming online students, followed by re-assessment at interval(s) throughout the programs. This health promotion strategy may provide the online student insight to their sleep quality that may lead to self- care intervention.

These findings suggest that online DNP students are not immune to the sleep problems that commonly plague brick and mortar university students. There may be a correlation between online studies and sleep quality, but further studies are needed to confirm this relationship. Application of this project and its findings is useful to the nursing profession and to other online programs. An effort may be to institute a health promotion strategy to assess the sleep quality of new incoming online students, followed by re-assessment at interval(s) throughout the programs. This health promotion strategy may provide the online student insight to their sleep quality that may lead to self- care intervention.","PeriodicalId":158343,"journal":{"name":"Nursing & Primary Care","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128088747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: The leadership of the head nurse and the motivation of the nurses of the service is a fundamental indicator to evaluate the quality of health care in pediatrics of the HNGV Dili. The leader is to manage the strongest strengths of the organization and employees, so that they work more or more effectively, in the daily service. Objective: To analyze the impact of the leadership of the head nurse on the motivation of nurses of the pediatric service of HNGV Díli Timor-Leste. Methodology: The study is descriptive of the cross-sectional and analytical type, of quantitative approach; The sample consisted of 45 nurses (10 head nurses and 35 nurses) from the pediatrics service of HNGV Timor-Leste, in functions at the time of questionnaire application (nurses: 40%; nurses: 60%). In the total sample of 70 respondents in this study, 25 were excluded and did not return. Results: The majority of workers (27.77 %) consider the employer a disciplined person who guides and directs their subordinates in the ward. In general, a humble and responsible person who makes decisions listening to the opinion of his collaborators was made. Only 8 respondents in 35 (23%) consider that the head nurse is not directly involved in social activities and does not seek possibilities to help people. Most consider the boss an efficient and effective person. Only 6 of the 35 respondents (17%) reported that the head nurse gives little support in formal and non-formal education to subordinates. The majority of nurses surveyed (8 out of 10:80%) recognize that they work in a way that motivates their subordinates to provide good quality nursing care. Only one of the head nurses (10%) does not consider the presence and delays of its members daily and the fulfillment of important schedules. Conclusion: The results express that the collaborators recognize that the work developed by the head nurses has an impact on their motivation and the work they develop, especially on the quality of nursing care provided. It is therefore important in the future that there is greater concern among hospital bosses and managers about the strategies to be defined to strengthen work teams and improve the care provided especially with the definition of quality indicators, the strengthening of in-service training and teamwork. From the results we recognize that leadership has influenced the motivation of the team and the quality of care provided.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant challenges physically and emotionally for healthcare workers. Frontline workers treating COVID-19 patients have battled stressful work environments, high patient mortality, lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), and feelings of exhaustion and powerlessness. This research study explored the relationship that COVID-19 has had on employees’ feelings and attitudes regarding their job. Methods: This quantitative research project took pace in an Emergency Department in Boston, MA. The paper questionnaire contained demographic questions and the Maslach Burnout Inventory was used as a guide. The variables that were examined were gender, age, number of years working in the emergency department, job category, and marital status. This tool was designed to measure burnout among human service professionals. The inventory contains three scales; emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, and contains 22 questions that are rated on a seven-point scale from never to every day. The emotional exhaustion section contains nine questions and reflects fatigue or stress. Depersonalization contains five questions and refers to feelings of callousness or indifference in regard to recipients, i.e. patients. Personal accomplishment contains eight questions and examines feelings of enthusiasm and effectiveness. The overall aim of the survey was to determine the relationship the COVID-19 pandemic had on employee burnout. Sample: A convenience sampling of all employees in one emergency department in the Boston area were recruited for this study. A total of 110 participants were recruited through word of mouth during shift huddles, as well as, during rounds on the unit with the team. The survey was open to all employees who worked in the emergency department, without regard to job title. Responses remained anonymous, participants were informed that their responses were used for an academic research project, and that they could not withdraw from the study once they had completed the survey as it was anonymous. Data Collection: The tool was administered to physicians, physician assistants, nurses, advanced care providers, medical assistants, social workers, and security officers in the emergency department in a hospital located in in Boston, Massachusetts. The variables that were examined were gender, age, number of years working in the emergency department, job category, and marital status. Once the surveys were collected, an excel spreadsheet was developed and the data analyzed. The results were disseminated to the nurse manager and posted on the bulletin board on the unit. All data that was collected in this research study has been securely stored in the lead researcher’s office for the next three years. Results: Those who had worked in the emergency department greater than 10 years scored higher than their counterparts on emotional exhaustion (11.8%), depersonalization (25.4%), and lack of
