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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most widespread form of dementia. The present study analyses the effects of aromatherapy using Melissa Officinalis essential oil, applied by massage to the hands and forearms of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. and to evaluate the effect on their perceived overall quality of life. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in two nursing homes in Italy in 2018. Data were collected through individual qualitative structured interviews based on the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease (QoL-AD) questionnaire and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The authors referred to STROBE guidelines for quality reporting of observational studies. Results: Treatment with Melissa Officinalis showed positive effects on all patients after the 12th week of treatment. The results were most evident in patients in class 3 MMSE. However, class 4 MMSE patients also benefited from the treatment. Conclusions: The aromatherapy treatment delivered in this observational study, using Melissa Officinalis essential oil applied to hands and forearms, showed an improvement in the quality of life of the patients living in two different nursing homes. Due to the small sample size in this study, it is suggested that more research be done on the effects and effectiveness of aromatherapy with Melissa Officinalis essential oil for Alzheimer's disease patients.

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.","PeriodicalId":261912,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Nursing","volume":"42 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":"117131911","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}

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.
