Background: Hypertensive disorder leads to maternal dead and mortality in Thailand. Objective: This quasi-experimental study aimed to test the effect of a holistic nursing program applying Reiki to the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of pregnant women. Methods: Purposive sampling method was used to recruit pregnant women diagnosed with hypertensive disorders. A total of thirty-four pregnant women were assigned to either the control or intervention groups. Blood pressure was measured as the baseline prior beginning of the program, then after completion of eight-week program intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to demonstrate the characteristics of demographic data and the MAP in each group. Wilcoxon test was used to examine the MAP pre- and post-intervention in each group. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the significant difference in the MAP between groups. Results: From this study it was seen that there was a significant difference in MAP between pre- and post-intervention in the intervention group (p< 0.020), while there was no difference in the control group. After the eight-week program, there was no statistically significant difference in the MAP between two groups. Conclusion: The program can potentially be an alternative therapy to calm the sympathetic nervous system resulting in better blood pressure control of pregnant women with the hypertensive disorder.

Chronic kidney disease not only impacts physical status but also psychological status leading to low quality of life. Patients with chronic kidney disease often receive hemodialysis as replacement therapy for kidney function. Studies preventing the deterioration of quality of life were published in the literature. However, none discusses the combination therapy between intradialytic exercise and cognitive behavior therapy. Therefore, the review aims at evaluating these combination therapies in patients with hemodialysis. The study used a systematic literature review design to identify all articles on intradialytic exercise and cognitive behavior therapy. The results highlighted that there is an improvement in quality of life when implementing combination therapies. Furthermore, it helps to accelerate the medical approach to chronic kidney disease. Further study should focus on the use of therapies among patients with different stages of kidney failure.

Vaccination is a universal health development initiative which aims to save millions of lives every year. Vaccines reduce the risks of acquiring many diseases by developing antibodies and boots the immune system of the body. Aim: This paper aims to determine the mothers’ perceptions on pediatric vaccination guided by the components of the Health Belief Model. It is likewise aimed to determine the correlation of the mother’s perception to their vaccination adherence. Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional design utilizing a self-report scale. Participants composed of mothers who have children aged one year old and below, from Ormoc City, Philippines. Results: It revealed that mothers’ have high perceived threat (m=3.76, SD=0.77), perceived benefits (m=3.82, SD=0.84), and perceived self-efficacy (m=3.78, SD=0.79), towards vaccination. Similarly, cues to action revealed a high mean score of 3.86 (SD=0.88). On the other hand, factors such as financial (m=2.83; SD=1.06), personal (m=2.12, SD=1.02), Spiritual (m=2.29, SD=1.01), Geographical (m=2.172; SD=1.54), and Health Care Professional's Approach (m=2.26; SD=0.99) were not considered as a barrier among the participants. Among the perceptions identified, we found a positive correlation between a mother's perceived threat (r=0.290, p=<0.001), perceived benefits (r=0.147, p=0.001), and perceived self-efficacy (r=0.217, p=0.001) to their vaccination adherence. On the other hand, among the perceived barriers, only personal beliefs (r=1.78, p=<0.001) and the approach of health care providers (r=-0.096, p=0.038) revealed a significant negative relationship to a mother's adherence to vaccination. Conclusion: Related factors such as perceived threat, benefit, and self-efficacy are facilitative, while personal beliefs and negative approaches health care personnel can be barriers to immunization. When a mother's perception outweighs their perceived barriers, they are more likely to submit to vaccination.

Background: Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition that affects the growth and development of a child from an early stage. This study determined the enhanced maternal behavior towards the prevention of stunting among children below 5 years old. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational quantitative design was utilized for this study. Data was collected from June to December 2021 at Tebing Tinggi, South Sumatera Kalimantan. The purposive sampling technique with inclusion and exclusion criteria helped to select the 150 mothers as respondents to answer the survey questionnaire. This research was specifically conducted at the High Cliff Health Center using a self-administered online questionnaire. Results: The identified enhanced maternal behaviors related to the prior behaviors of the respondents (53.52 ± 13.89349, 113%). On the contrary, the perceived benefits (9.8067 ± 3.05, 24.93%), perceived barrier to action (53.52 ± 15.33987, 25.25%), preventive behavior (8.02 ± 2.25831, 18.439%) were identified to be insignificant. There was a relationship (r ≤0.05) between the prior related behavior, perceived benefits, perceived barriers to action, and preventive behavior. Conclusion: It was determined that there was still a need to enhance some of the maternal behaviors towards the prevention of stunting among children under 5 years of age.

Background: Occupational safety is questioned in developing countries like Nepal. Health-care workers have been exposed to potential risks due to different kinds of hazards at their workplace. They are responsible for providing a safe climate for others, which is why their safety should be given high priority, ensuring that they feel safe. Objective: This study has aimed to provide insight into overall healthcare workers perceptions of the available hospital safety facilities and strategies adopted in the hospitals of Kathmandu, Nepal. Methods: The findings of this study are anticipated to assist the hospital industry and agencies to formulate plans and policies to improve safety precautions in hospital duties. For the perception and attitude of workers and nurses towards the safety and health status of workers, the primary data were collected from workers and nurses based on a questionnaire of two different sets, including demographic data. Data from workers and nurses was collected based on the questionnaire ranking the causes of accidents. Results: The study results indicate that several perception-based and socio-demographic variables were found to be significantly associated with the safety perception of workers and nurses. Among the perception-related variables, work motivation and education and training were found to significantly shape the workers’ and nurses' perceptions during hospital duties. These results suggest that the management could increase the incentives and rewards for the workers and deliver safety education and training to make them feel safe working in a hospital. Conclusion: Among socio-demographic variables, gender, household size, household income, and personal income were statistically significant, and worker types, marital status, and possession of permanence were marginally significant predictors of workers’ safety perceptions.

Background: Fast foods are convenient to people who lives a busy lifestyle. Nevertheless, uncontrolled consumption of fast food can lead to obesity. About 84% of Malaysian students consume fast food and are often unable to meet recommended nutrient intake due to snacking habits and skipping meals. Objective: To identify food access and fast food consumption behaviour among Health Sciences students at UiTM Puncak Alam. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done among Health Sciences students at UiTM Puncak Alam. The questionnaire was adapted from ‘Fast Food Consumption and Obesity’. A total 267 from Year 2 and Year 3 was participated. The questionnaire consists of 27 questions including demographic data, food access and fast food consumption behaviour. Results: Majority of the students have problem in transportation for food access and consumed fast food many times per month. However, the study finding showed no relationship between transportation problem, fast food consumption behaviour and BMI. Conclusion: With the advance in technology food can be ordered online and can be delivered by the restaurant. Therefore, there was no relationship between transportation problem and fast food consumption behaviour. Future research should focus on effect of fast food consumption behaviour on students’ academic performance and health related quality of life.

Background: Despite the benefits of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in developing clinical skills, Nursing schools in lower-middle-income countries like the Philippines are less successful in the implementation of HFS as a pedagogy. The utilization of HFS was recommended to offset the effects of COVID-19 on clinical placements which received various reactions from nurse educators. Objective: This study aimed to explore the views of nursing educators who did not use HFS as an instructional strategy in nursing education. Methods: A qualitative descriptive research design was utilized and data were gathered through a focus group discussion involving seven nurse educators who fit the criteria. Using thematic analysis, the following themes were uncovered: (1) technological complexities and difficulties, (2) lack of training and application, (3) need for expert support, (4) inadequate resources, (5) fear and apprehensions, and (6) not a requirement but an option. Results: Multiple factors affect the use of HFS among nursing educators in a lower middle-income country that requires users to be knowledgeable, skillful, and technologically adept. The lack thereof coupled with fear has consequently reduced HFS to an option rather than an indispensable tool for nursing education. Conclusion: Hence, to facilitate the utilization of HFS, a structured HFS training program that considers the context, and faculty needs might be instrumental. Additionally, the likelihood of integrating HFS in the curriculum as an equivalent to clinical placements can be explored to future-proof nursing education from the effects of a pandemic.

Background: Most people are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) shortly after their sexual debut. Cervical cancer is preventable through screening, yet the screening rate is lower than the 70% WHO target. This study aimed to assess the care-seeking behavior of Gwafan community women in cervical cancer screening participation. Methods: A convergent mixed method was adopted for this study. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data, while SPSS was used for quantitative data analysis. Results: The results show a significant relationship between age group and screening where older women were the most screened (X2=6.290; P-value=0.012), and no significant difference in screening participation amongst women who experienced gynecological symptoms and those that did not experience (X2=1.168; P-value=0.281). Most women (77.4%) have fears of diagnosis, uncovering the private areas of their bodies, painful procedures, and the feelings of shamefulness. They agreed that having more than one sexual partner is the risk cause, they moderately agreed that the outcome of cervical cancer is death. Majority agreed that a woman must obtain consent from her husband before going for screening and that husbands do not allow another person to touch their wives’ private areas. Conclusion: The majority of the community women did not screen for cervical cancer, which may result from low income, feelings, social norms, negative beliefs and expectations, and past experiences. Screening participation among older women was higher, and experiencing gynecological symptoms has no positive influence on screening participation. This study formed the baseline for care-seeking behaviour interventions to improve screening participation.

Most women (77.4%) have fears of diagnosis, uncovering the private areas of their bodies, painful procedures, and the feelings of shamefulness. They agreed that having more than one sexual partner is the risk cause, they moderately agreed that the outcome of cervical cancer is death. Majority agreed that a woman must obtain consent from her husband before going for screening and that husbands do not allow another person to touch their wives’ private areas. Conclusion: The majority of the community women did not screen for cervical cancer, which may result from low income, feelings, social norms, negative beliefs and expectations, and past experiences. Screening participation among older women was higher, and experiencing gynecological symptoms has no positive influence on screening participation. This study formed the baseline for care-seeking behaviour interventions to improve screening participation.","PeriodicalId":261912,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122480708","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}

Backgroud: Self-care education can be carried out patients with diabetes through the Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) method. The DSME method helps people to perform with type 2 diabetes self-management in managing and treating type 2 diabetes, such as controlling blood sugar levels and HbA1c values. Objective: The purpose of this research is to understand the effect of DSME for reducing blood sugar levels and decreasing HbA1c values in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: The design of this research is a Pre-Experimental with Pretest-Posttest Group Design with a Pretest-Posttest Group Design, approach which aims to see the use of the DSME method for reducing blood sugar levels and decreasing HbA1c values in type 2 diabetes patients. This research was conducted from July to October 2021. The research location was at the Curup Regional General Hospital, Rejang Lebong Regency. Respondents in this study were 35 patients with type 2 diabetes. The instrument used was the DSME method consisting of 3 instruments, including the theoretical concept of diabetes, care and treatment of diabetes, and complications of diabetes. Results: The results of the study show a significant change in blood sugar levels before and after the DSME. Before being carried out, blood sugar levels were with a Mean±SD of 341.60±157.589; meanwhile, after the intervention, blood sugar levels became 107.97±9.984 with a p:0.001. On the other hand, the HbA1c Value before intervention was Mean±SD 8.4313±2.2610, and after the intervention, the HbA1c value became 6.4553±1.2426 with p=0.001. Conclusion: DSME can be used as an alternative intervention that decreases in blood sugar levels and HbA1c values in patients with type 2 diabetes.
背景:糖尿病自我管理教育(DSME)方法可以对糖尿病患者进行自我保健教育。DSME方法有助于2型糖尿病患者在管理和治疗2型糖尿病方面进行自我管理，如控制血糖水平和糖化血红蛋白值。目的:本研究的目的是了解DSME对2型糖尿病患者血糖水平和HbA1c值的降低作用。方法:本研究采用Pre-Experimental with Pretest-Posttest Group design with Pretest-Posttest Group design，旨在观察DSME方法在2型糖尿病患者中降低血糖水平和降低HbA1c值的作用。该研究于2021年7月至10月进行。研究地点在reang Lebong reggency的Curup地区总医院。研究对象为35例2型糖尿病患者。使用的仪器为DSME法，包括糖尿病的理论概念、糖尿病的护理和治疗、糖尿病的并发症3种仪器。结果:研究结果显示，DSME前后血糖水平有显著变化。术前血糖均值±SD为341.60±157.589;干预后血糖值为107.97±9.984,p值为0.001。另一方面，干预前HbA1c为Mean±SD 8.4313±2.2610，干预后HbA1c为6.4553±1.2426,p=0.001。结论:DSME可作为降低2型糖尿病患者血糖水平和HbA1c值的替代干预措施。
