The use of gadgets in the current era of globalization has become a concerning trend, especially among preschool children, leading to addiction and detrimental effects on their physical, psychological, and emotional health. It has also resulted in increased social isolation and hindered development. The impact of this trend is significantly influenced by the roles of parents, family, and the surrounding environment. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using modules on the benefits of storytelling and coloring therapy in enhancing parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding prudent gadget use in preschool children. The research design was a pre-post quasi-experiment without a control group. The population comprised parents with preschool children attending 11 public kindergartens in Samarinda City. A total sampling method was utilized, resulting in 303 respondents. Health education intervention occurred after the pre-test, followed by one month of assistance and a subsequent post-test. The research instrument was a questionnaire adapted from the theory of planned behavior, assessing parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to providing gadgets to children. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicate a significant influence of health education using modules on the benefits of storytelling and coloring therapy on parents' wise gadget use in preschool children (p-value < 0.005). Thus, health education for parents on prudent gadget use in preschoolers is highly recommended, particularly during parent meetings at school.

Impaired peripheral perfusion in the legs is the most common complaint experienced by patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). One nursing intervention in the form of physical exercise that can be administered to DM patients to prevent peripheral perfusion disorders and increase vascularization of the lower extremities is the Buerger-Allen Exercise (BAE). The goal of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of BAE in improving lower extremity circulation. The population consisted of patients with type 2 DM. The research design employed a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test, including a control group. A sample of 24 respondents was divided into an intervention group and a control group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data were obtained through direct Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement using a Doppler ultrasound and an aneroid sphygmomanometer, temporary blood sugar level measurements using a glucometer, and leg sensitivity measurements using a monofilament tool. Paired T-tests and independent T-tests were used as statistical tests. The results of the Paired T-test for lower limb circulation in the intervention group yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference in the circulation of the lower extremities before and after the intervention. The results of the independent T-test also showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating significance. Thus, BAE can improve lower limb circulation in patients with type 2 DM.

Nutrition is a basic need for a child to grow optimally. Improper child feeding practices are still found in the community, leading to malnutrition. The incidence of malnutrition has increased sharply in children aged 6 to 18 months in various countries, primarily due to ignorance and/or an inability to prepare food. The family plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of child nutrition problems. Families can provide education and practical supervision in addressing nutrition-related issues, including promoting healthy lifestyle patterns. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of implementing family-centered care in changing child feeding practices. The research design employed was true experimental analysis with a pre-posttest group design. The population consisted of 130 respondents, infants aged 6 to 23 months, selected using a probability sampling technique with purposive random sampling. The research was conducted in Wonokromo, Surabaya, Indonesia, from March to June 2023. The measuring instrument utilized was a family-centered care-based child feeding guide. The independent variable in the study was family care, while the dependent variable was the change in the child's feeding practices. Test analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the Mann-Whitney test indicated a significant difference in feeding practices before and after counseling with the family-centered care approach (p = 0.043). Thus, family-centered care was found to be effective in changing child feeding practices.

The various specializations available to nurses represent an investment geared toward providing more qualified patient care. However, little is known about the attitudes of specialized nurses toward multidisciplinarity. The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' perceptions of multidisciplinarity in the field of specialist nurses, as well as to determine how specialization is associated with improved patient care and nurses' age in a low-resource setting in Southeast Brazil. This cross-sectional study included 70 nurses aged ≥18 years with at least one nursing specialty working at the Regional Health Superintendence of Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study participants responded to questions about specialization and its importance in the field of health care. The majority of nurse specialists (84.3%) were between the ages of 20 and 40, and 31.4 percent worked in family health. Eighty percent of nurse specialists agreed that nursing specialization was important. More than 75% agreed that specialization promotes higher quality care and that multidisciplinarity is critical for improving patient care. Seventy percent of participants distrusted online health information. There is a relationship between the importance of having a specialty and better patient care (τb=0.293, p=0.002), and between being a specialist nurse and age (τb=-0.272, p=0.004). Nurses have embraced the concept of multidisciplinarity as a way to improve healthcare. However, they were concerned about the qualifications for nursing specialties.

Hypertension can develop in early childhood and go unnoticed unless it is screened for specifically during this developmental stage. Detecting potential hypertension risk in children is critical to avoiding the serious, long-term complications associated with the condition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hypertension among schoolchildren aged 13 to 18, as well as the risk factors associated with it. A cross-sectional study included 565 students aged 13 to 18 from the Duhok region. The analysis used Chi square testing and logistic regression with JMP Pro 14.3.0 software. Of the 565 students from 32 schools chosen, 242 (42.80%) were male and 323 (57.2%) were female. Notably, 5.84% (n=33) were hypertensive. A significant correlation was found between hypertension prevalence and body mass index, as well as gender. There was no significant relationship found with other variables. Logistic regression revealed that high blood pressure was significantly associated with excess weight, obesity, and age. We concluded that there was an increase in the incidence of hypertension among high school students. Lifestyle changes appeared to play a role in hypertension development among this population. Routine school surveys are recommended to detect potential hypertension cases in children and adolescents, allowing for timely preventative interventions.

Every parent desires their child to engage in both play and learning. Often, parents find themselves attributing any challenges to perceived shortcomings in their parenting and struggle to leverage digital media effectively. This research endeavors to examine the fundamental psychological needs - autonomy, competence, and relationship - in relation to parenting strategies for children vulnerable to Internet Gaming Disorder. Employing an analytical cross-sectional design, the study focused on parents with children aged 8 to 12 years in Gresik City, East Java, Indonesia. A purposive sample of 125 participants was selected. The research employed the satisfaction and frustration of the Basic Psychological Needs (BPN) questionnaire along with a parenting strategy scale. Descriptive statistical tests and multiple linear regression were utilized to analyze the BPN and parenting strategies. Simultaneously, BPN significantly influenced parental strategies (p=0.026, which is ≤0.05). In terms of effective contributions, autonomy, competence, and relationship collectively accounted for 7.3%, with individual effects of 1.82%, 5.56%, and 0.04%, respectively. Parents whose BPN were fulfilled exhibited effective parenting strategies, reducing the risk of Internet Gaming Disorder. Consequently, there is a crucial role for nurses and healthcare professionals in educating parents about preventing Internet Gaming Disorder in children.

Excessive workloads for medical record staff can lead to both physical and mental fatigue, while insufficient workloads may result in boredom. The outpatient registration unit at the hospital faces challenges in the registration process due to a high volume of patient registrations, leading to long queues. This study aimed to analyze the human resource needs of the medical record staff in the outpatient registration unit using the Analisis Beban Kerja Kesehatan (ABK Kes) method. The ABK Kes method involves calculating labor needs based on the workload associated with each type of task performed by staff at health service facilities, aligning with their primary duties and functions. The chosen method for this study was qualitative descriptive. Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews involving five subjects, all of whom were medical record staff in the outpatient unit. The results indicate that, based on the calculations, the human resource needs in the patient registration unit should include seven people, requiring an additional two staff members. The waiting time during registration significantly influences patients' perceptions of hospital service assessments. The addition of two staff members, in accordance with the calculated needs, is expected to enhance the productivity of the registration officers.

Infusion therapy involves the intravenous administration of drugs, fluids, and blood products to hospitalized clients. This study aimed to identify factors influencing nurse compliance in monitoring infusion fluids according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The research adopted a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach, focusing on a study population of 50 nurses. Data collection utilized observation techniques and questionnaires as research instruments, with the analysis employing Kendall's Tau B and Kendall's Tau C methods. The findings revealed significant correlations between age (p-value=0.000), education (p-value=0.006), career path level (p-value=0.013), and knowledge (p-value=0.011). However, there was no significant relationship between the length of work experience and nurse compliance in monitoring infusion fluids (p-value=0.257) according to SOPs in this private hospital. To enhance the quality of care, it is recommended that nurses receive additional training provided by the nursing education team at the hospital, focusing specifically on the monitoring of infusion fluids. This targeted training could contribute to reducing instances of complaints related to mismatched patient needs and ultimately improve compliance with established SOPs in infusion therapy.
输液治疗包括为住院病人静脉注射药物、液体和血液制品。本研究旨在确定影响护士按照标准操作程序(SOP)监测输液的因素。研究采用描述性相关设计和横断面定量方法,研究对象为 50 名护士。数据收集采用观察技术和问卷调查作为研究工具,分析采用 Kendall's Tau B 和 Kendall's Tau C 方法。研究结果显示,年龄(p 值=0.000)、学历(p 值=0.006)、职业道路水平(p 值=0.013)和知识(p 值=0.011)之间存在明显的相关性。然而,在这家私立医院,工作经验的长短与护士按照 SOP 监测输液的依从性之间没有明显关系(p 值=0.257)。为提高护理质量,建议护士接受由医院护理教育团队提供的额外培训,特别侧重于输液监测。这种有针对性的培训有助于减少与患者需求不匹配有关的投诉,并最终提高输液治疗中对既定 SOP 的依从性。

This study aimed to identify factors influencing nurse compliance in monitoring infusion fluids according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The research adopted a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach, focusing on a study population of 50 nurses. Data collection utilized observation techniques and questionnaires as research instruments, with the analysis employing Kendall's Tau B and Kendall's Tau C methods. The findings revealed significant correlations between age (p-value=0.000), education (p-value=0.006), career path level (p-value=0.013), and knowledge (p-value=0.011). However, there was no significant relationship between the length of work experience and nurse compliance in monitoring infusion fluids (p-value=0.257) according to SOPs in this private hospital. To enhance the quality of care, it is recommended that nurses receive additional training provided by the nursing education team at the hospital, focusing specifically on the monitoring of infusion fluids.

The demands to nurses in the Emergency Room (ER) can lead to stress, potentially causing Burnout Syndrome. This may diminish the effectiveness of the nursing care provided to patients. This study aimed to explore the experience of Burnout Syndrome among nurses in the ER using a descriptive qualitative research design. Ten nurses from the ER participated in the study. All participants provided consistent answers, leading researchers to conclude data saturation through purposive sampling. In-depth interviews with a semi-structured format were conducted for data collection, and the Collaizi technique was employed for analysis. Findings revealed that nurses exhibited signs of Burnout Syndrome, such as physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, while providing patient care, attributing this to the substantial workload.
