Background: Malawi is a low-income country with a high maternal mortality rate, unmet need for family planning and high reports (41%) of unintended pregnancies. Women on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) continued to experience unintended pregnancies after using hormonal contraceptives provided by nurses in the family planning clinics. However, the unintended pregnancies could affect the sexual and reproductive health of women and decisions of nurses on contraceptive provision to women on ART. Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore challenges faced by nurses in the provision of hormonal contraceptives to women on ART in selected clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods: A qualitative approach using an explorative design was used in this study. Eight (8) participants were selected purposefully from five public family planning clinics in Lilongwe. They were interviewed individually using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using a content analysis guide. Results: Three themes emerged from the data and these were as follows: limited knowledge of nurses; inadequate resources and inadequate support. Results revealed that nurses had limited knowledge of contraceptives to provide to women on ART due to lack of ART content in the contraceptive training which they had. They also lacked clinical and human resources and adequate time to teach clients which affected provision of the right hormonal contraceptives to women on ART. Furthermore, they needed support in the form of supervision, reference materials and integration of ART and contraceptive provision services. Conclusion: The challenges that nurses faced had an influence on the provision of contraceptives to women on ART. The study recommends that nurses should be trained on the provision of contraceptives to women on ART and be provided with the required resources and support for proper care to be achieved. Furthermore, there is a need for clear guidelines on hormonal contraceptives that women on ART could get and the integration of ART and family planning services. ART and

Background: The central nervous system assessment is typically perceived as a complicated exam that would be both time-consuming and challenging. A disciplined approach and directed guidelines can ameliorate much of the difficulties involved. Nursing staff should have the required knowledge of neurological examination is intended to facilitate the physician in clinical check-ups, which would lead to the client’s enhanced well-being. Objective: The study’s goal is to determine the “Effect of implementing an educational program regarding neurological examination on nurses”. Methods: Quasi-experimental research work was carried out at Asella teaching referral hospitals in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia to assess the effect of implementing an educational program regarding neurological examination on nurses. To hand pick up 56 study samples, a convenient sampling technique was asserted. At first, a comprehension set of questions on neurological examination has been used to undertake a pre-measurement evaluation, which was accompanied by a two-week self-administered intervention in an educational program regarding the neurological examination. Followed that, the same comprehension set of questions on neurological examination was used for post-measurement evaluation among nursing professionals. The acquired data was entered into epi-info version-7 for coding and error prevention and transferred to SPSS version 22 for analysis employing descriptive and inferential statistics, and after the results of the research have been contextualized. Findings: The investigation outcomes showed that the pre-measurement mean and SD were 13.02±2.62, while the post-measurement mean and SD were 22.63±3.21. The paired- t -test resulted in t=26.24 (p=0.00, df-55, S*) for the effect of implementing an educational program regarding neurological examination among nurses. Whereas, linear multiple regression was explained with no statistically significant association between pre-measurement knowledge and the study’s demographic factors. Conclusion: The study strongly indicates that there is a significant effect of implementing an educational program regarding neurological examination among nurses.
背景:中枢神经系统评估通常被认为是一项复杂的检查，既耗时又具有挑战性。有纪律的方法和有针对性的指导方针可以改善所涉及的许多困难。护理人员应具备必要的神经系统检查知识，以方便医生进行临床检查，从而提高病人的健康水平。目的:本研究的目的是确定“实施神经学检查教育计划对护士的影响”。方法:在埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区的Asella教学转诊医院开展准实验研究工作，评估对护士实施神经学检查教育方案的效果。为了手动挑选56个研究样本，一种方便的采样技术被断言。首先，一套关于神经系统检查的理解问题被用来进行测量前评估，并伴随着为期两周的关于神经系统检查的教育计划的自我管理干预。随后，对护理专业人员采用相同的神经学检查理解题进行测量后评价。将获得的数据输入epi-info version-7进行编码和错误预防，并将研究结果语境化后，转移到SPSS version 22进行描述性和推理性统计分析。结果:调查结果显示，测前均值和SD为13.02±2.62，测后均值和SD为22.63±3.21。配对t检验结果为t=26.24 (p=0.00, df-55, S*)。然而，线性多元回归解释了测量前知识与研究人口统计学因素之间没有统计学意义的关联。结论:本研究强烈提示在护士中实施神经学检查教育方案有显著效果。

Background: Many countries have adopted the nursing process as a basic requirement for quality health care services, but there is a problem with its implementation in the clinical areas of many hospitals. Even though nurses accept the benefits of the nursing process, they do not use it practically. The implementation of the nursing process in Ethiopia is not well organized and developed. Many health care settings in Ethiopia demand the application of the nursing process in clinical practice. Methods: An institutional-based, descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted at Woldia Comprehensive Specialized hospital. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select study subjects. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from August (01/0821 to September 01/09/2021. Binary logistic regressions were used. Then, P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in this study. Results: This study reviled that 62.8% of nurses implemented the nursing process. Work experience greater than or equal to five years [AOR: 1.79; 95% CI (1.31–4.84)], support from the administration of the organization to do the nursing process [AOR: 1.98; 95% CI (1.22–3.01)], and knowledgeable nurses [AOR: 2.21; 95% CI (1.32–4.97)] are significantly associated with the implementation of the nursing process. Conclusion: More than sixty present nurses implemented the nursing process. Work experience, organizational support to implement the nursing process, and knowledge were significant factors affecting the implementation of the nursing process. comprehensive specialized Hospital. Multiple logistic regressions were used to control the possible confounding factors to assess the relative effect of independent variables. It was impossible to establish a cause-and-effect relationship as the study design was a cross-sectional study design and due to the small sample size, the result might not be representative of all nurses working in Ethiopia.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine nursing educators' and students' perspectives concerning the shift of teaching methodologies to online learning platform in nursing education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study investigated nursing educators' and students' perspectives on online learning. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 120 educators and 350 students, who answered the Test of e-Learning Related Attitudes scale. The data collection was conducted from November to December 2020 in five selected colleges and universities in Saudi Arabia. Results: The findings of the study revealed that the overall mean score of the nursing educators' perspectives on online learning based on the 4 dimensions were 4.18 with a SD of 0.57 and an overall mean score of 4.22 with a SD of 0.61 for the students. Furthermore, the perspectives of both participant groups on challenges and benefits dimensions shows that there was significant difference as supported by a p-value of <0.001 and 0.046. However, it shows in the attitude and interest dimensions that there was no significant difference as supported by a p-value of 0.313 and 0.088, respectively. Conclusion: Nursing educators and students shows an agreement on their perspectives on online learning in terms of attitude and interest dimensions. However, they show their disagreement in terms of challenges and benefits dimensions. Unfortunately, the current COVID-19 pandemic situation could persist for several years. But modern technologies can partially solve current problems in nursing education.

Background: Midwives play a pivotal role in providing primary prevention of preterm birth. Midwives screen and diagnose pre-existing medical conditions, manage all conditions as guided by their scope of practice and refer all cases to other relevant team members. Purpose: The study aimed to determine and describe factors contributing to the escalating preterm birth rate in Limpopo, South Africa. Methods: Descriptive survey was used to determine factors related to increased preterm births. The non-probability purposive sampling selected 55 midwives, and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 23. Results: Health facilities in Limpopo province had constrained resources as evidenced by a shortage of midwives, a lack of medical supply, poorly maintained, and old infrastructure. The skills of midwives and their working environment were affected by this constrained resource. The results from midwives that were perceived to affect them were 66% of participants reported lack of equipment, 29.1% participants agreed that pregnant women were presenting after 12 weeks to initiate antenatal care, while 45.3% pointed out they used steroids to prevent preterm labor. Record-keeping was viewed as an essential aspect to manage PTB when providing care. Despite the constrained resources, midwives were providing care to prevent PTB. This was evidenced by 78.2% agreeing that keep records from the first booking until the last antenatal visit, while 96.2% monitored the fetal heart rate, 98.1% screened for infections, and 90.9% referred all women at risk to the doctor. Thus, most of the midwives were competent with a confidence interval of (95%) and a prevalence of 9% and 9.5% that, is 9/10, which could prevent PTB. Conclusion: Lack of resources, including staffing and specialized care, contributed to escalating PTB at health facilities in Limpopo province.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had significant consequences for relatives’ opportunities to communicate with and offer care to seriously ill and dying nursing home residents with COVID-19. Residents in nursing homes were urged to protect themselves through social distancing, and visits have been permanently regulated and limited. These restrictions have been challenging, and the limitations have raised many questions and led to difficult choices. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. We investigated the following two research questions: How did relatives of COVID-19 patients in Norwegian nursing homes experience the situation and how did the physical distancing and precepts of infection control affect the relationship between the long-term residents and the relatives?. Methods: The study has a qualitative explorative design with a phenomenological-herme-neutic approach, with individual in-depth interviews used for data collection. The study included ten relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. Results: Three main perspectives were identified from the participants’ experiences: (1) the difficult choices; (2) maintaining the relationship; and (3) experiencing support. The relatives experienced ethical dilemmas when weighing the risk of getting COVID-19 if they visited the patient versus the consequences of not visiting their loved one. In this situation, they needed good information and support from health care professionals. Conclusion: To enable relatives of COVID-19 patients to make choices in line with their goals and intrinsic motivations, it is important that staff members possess competence in infection control, updated knowledge about the residents’ situations, and the skills to facilitate a safe and confident dialogue. Trust in the care staff and a feeling of safety are essential for relatives in a stressful situation with difficult choices, while a lack of confidence, routines, and/or dialogue might increase relatives’ feelings of insecurity and stress and make their caring role difficult.

Rokstad","doi":"10.2147/nrr.s328336","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/nrr.s328336","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had significant consequences for relatives’ opportunities to communicate with and offer care to seriously ill and dying nursing home residents with COVID-19. Residents in nursing homes were urged to protect themselves through social distancing, and visits have been permanently regulated and limited. These restrictions have been challenging, and the limitations have raised many questions and led to difficult choices. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. We investigated the following two research questions: How did relatives of COVID-19 patients in Norwegian nursing homes experience the situation and how did the physical distancing and precepts of infection control affect the relationship between the long-term residents and the relatives?. Methods: The study has a qualitative explorative design with a phenomenological-herme-neutic approach, with individual in-depth interviews used for data collection. The study included ten relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. Results: Three main perspectives were identified from the participants’ experiences: (1) the difficult choices; (2) maintaining the relationship; and (3) experiencing support. The relatives experienced ethical dilemmas when weighing the risk of getting COVID-19 if they visited the patient versus the consequences of not visiting their loved one. In this situation, they needed good information and support from health care professionals. Conclusion: To enable relatives of COVID-19 patients to make choices in line with their goals and intrinsic motivations, it is important that staff members possess competence in infection control, updated knowledge about the residents’ situations, and the skills to facilitate a safe and confident dialogue. Trust in the care staff and a feeling of safety are essential for relatives in a stressful situation with difficult choices, while a lack of confidence, routines, and/or dialogue might increase relatives’ feelings of insecurity and stress and make their caring role difficult.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86397608","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}
