Background: Every organization must define customer satisfaction regarding their market. So customer satisfaction could not be defined only standard or quality of product. Customer satisfaction is about relationships between the customer and product or service and the provider of a product or service. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess overall satisfaction levels Customers with the administration of Menelik II health Science College. Methodology: A cross sectional study design was conducted from Dec, 2015 to Jan, 2016 in Menelik II Health Science College. The sample size includes Students (n=233), teachers (n=20), and administrative staffs (n=29) who were available at the college during the study period and randomly selected and included in study. Structured questioner was prepared to collect the data and data entry and analysis was done using SPSS version 23. Results: The satisfaction of student was found to be 55.8%, 48.1%, 51.1%, and, 42.1% in teaching learning process, library service, and registrar and student services respectively. The satisfaction of teachers was similar (45%) with college management, Library and Registrar services; whereas 60% of teachers were satisfied on procurement, finance, and general service of the college. The satisfaction of administrative staff was 44.8% and 55.2% with college management and procurement, finance, and general service of the college respectively. Conclusion: The overall level of students, teachers and administrative staff satisfaction was moderate. The college should consider mechanisms to improve the satisfaction of its customers.

Playing video games is now a major leisurely pursuit among adolescents in many parts of the world [1-3]. Initially, playing is not pathological but it becomes so for some individuals when the activity becomes dysfunctional. Internet gaming disorder has been included in the emerging measures and models section of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual [4,5] as a subject of further empirical enquiry. The terms used to describe problematic video game use (PVU) vary across the research literature [5]. Data from various countries around the world suggest that between 0.2% to 15.5% of the adolescents are engaged in PVU [6-10]. A summary of prevalence studies found that there was a higher prevalence of problematic video gaming in East Asian populations, compared to Western European, North American and Australian populations [11].

Objective: To access the presence and prevalence of roundworm among the study population. Study design: A simple primary school based questionnaire was distributed to the pupils to determine the name, age, sex and sanitation situations in the schools and homes. Also, a total of 561 samples collected were processed using formal ether concentration technique. Results: 2(0.3%) pupils from Abo and Umueme primary schools were positive for Ascaris lumbricoides. The sex distribution of the infestation showed a higher prevalence of 1(0.3%) among the females and none among the males. From the age group distribution, we saw that 1(0.8%) in the age group (5 to 13) years was positive. Conclusion: There is an unhealthy presence and prevalence of A. lumbricoides among the study population, particularly among the females who must carry out domestic chores and water fetching in an environment of open air pollution.

Background: Healthcare providers’ empathetic attitude towards patient care significantly plays a role in the success of patient-centred outcome. However, across the empathy literature, there have been numerous studies which indicate that there had been a significant change in the level of empathy among nursing students in line with the length of their clinical exposure. Considering these studies, little is known on the factors affecting empathy. Hence, this study has purported to explore the factors influencing nursing students’ level of empathy.Methods: A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized. This study employed factor analysis to explore the factors which influence student nurses’ level of empathy. Data was analysed through SPSS Version 21. Inclusion criteria are regular nursing students with at least 18 years of age, on their 15th week of RLE and are currently enrolled in the academic year 2017-2018. A total of 255 nursing students were purposively selected from a tertiary institution in Manila.Results: Nine factor dimensions identified namely: Engaging, Efficiency, Emic, Erratic, Encumbering, Enduing, Emotive, Embracing, and Enervating Factors. Out of the nine variables that were identified, only four have been identified to have a direct effect on empathy which is: Engaging, Efficiency, Erratic and Encumbering Factors. Moreover, Engaging and Efficiency Factors positively affect empathy while Erratic and Encumbering Factors negatively affect empathy. Notably, Engaging factors had the most impact among the student nurses’ level of empathy.Conclusion: Several factors affecting the nursing students’ empathy are combination of personal, patient and environmental. Since it was revealed that some factors can cause decrease in empathy among the nursing students, selection of educators who will serve as positive role models should be considered. Likewise, empathy trainings may be conducted such as self-awareness and reflective listening among the nursing students before they face their patients.
背景:医疗保健提供者对患者护理的共情态度在以患者为中心的结果的成功中起着重要作用。然而,在共情文献中,有许多研究表明,护生的共情水平随着临床接触时间的长短而发生了显著变化。考虑到这些研究,我们对移情的影响因素知之甚少。因此,本研究旨在探讨护生共情水平的影响因素。方法:采用描述性相关研究设计。本研究采用因子分析法探讨影响护生共情水平的因素。数据通过SPSS Version 21进行分析。纳入标准是18岁以上的普通护理学生,在RLE的第15周,目前在2017-2018学年入学。有目的地从马尼拉的一所大专院校挑选了255名护理专业学生。结果:确定了九个因素维度,即:参与,效率,Emic,飘忽,阻碍,持久,情感,拥抱和衰弱因素。在确定的九个变量中,只有四个变量被确定对同理心有直接影响,它们是:参与、效率、不稳定和阻碍因素。参与和效率因素对共情有正向影响,飘忽和阻碍因素对共情有负向影响。值得注意的是,参与因素对护生共情水平的影响最大。结论:影响护生共情的因素有个人因素、患者因素和环境因素。由于研究发现某些因素会导致护生共情能力下降,因此应考虑选择作为积极榜样的教育者。同理心训练也可以在护生面对病人之前进行,如自我意识、反思性倾听等。

Background: Drug information is all information provided on the safe and effective use of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceuticals. Health providers require information resources for therapeutic decision support, implementation, and monitoring of outcome, thus, improve the quality of care, enhance the use of evidence-based treatments, maintain and updated knowledge. Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge of drug information resources and the type of drug information resources that are commonly used by students of College of pharmacy and nursing at the University of Nizwa, Oman. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Questionnaires in both Arabic and English language were distributed among the first and final year students of pharmacy and nursing students in University of Nizwa. Descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Questionnaires were distributed to 200 students of pharmacy and nursing. (4% male, 96% female). As students, the enrolled sample showed that 40% gain the knowledge about drugs through their instructors. The majority of students (37%) used tertiary resources for searching drug information. The main reasons for the respondents to search for drug information are because of study purpose, curiosity about the medicine and examination which made up 51%. Conclusion: Up to date information about medicine are necessary for practicing the profession of pharmacy and nursing. The study managed to find that the students had enough knowledge about drug information resources which will make them capable of valuing the evidence-based practice. However, they showed that their classical way of getting information is through books and main reasons were because of study purpose, curiosity about the medicine and examination. Interestingly the students of pharmacy and nursing showed similar responses. Establishing drug information resources knowledge among students is crucial for better practice in the future.

Satisfaction is a feeling perceived by the customer, achieved by comparing perceived performance with customer expectations of a particular product/service. The satisfaction of the service is judged by the quality of service provided. Satisfaction with the nursing service of the coast tourist community is judged by the quality of service provided during the tourist visits. Tourism research on nursing tourism is still limited publication; in fact it has not been done in Indonesia. Whereas the Community Health Care Services program has been declared since the 1970s, but the focus of the tourist community has not been untouched. Studies related to community nursing in beach tourism have not been done until now. Moreover, there are no local government regulations, cross-sectoral cooperation on coastal accident management efforts at the beach to improve tourist safety. This study aims to develop coast tourist community nursing model through coastal health post (Poskespan) to improve the safety of tourists at the beach of Badung Regency, Bali Province. Quantitative research design or quasy experiment is done with pre post test with control group design. Cluster sampling technique. The respondents of the intervention group were tourists visiting the eight sub-districts of Kuta Center, Badung Regency, which contained three coastal health posts (Poskespan Kuta, Legian, Seminyak) amounting to 360 respondents. Tourists who visit the beach in which there is no coastal health post as a control group, amounting to 360 people. Based on the results of the research, it is known that there is an influence of the development of nursing model of coastal tourist community through coastal health post for the safety of tourists. Therefore, it is hoped that coastal health post model can be one of the health efforts of the community (UKBM) in a special group of coastal communities in Indonesia such as poskestren which is used as the guide of UKBM to the group especially pesantren or poskesdes community in villagers. Poskespan model is also built like the concept of UKBM which is also available such as in other areas of Indonesia by involving personal of Poskespan namely surf lifesaving association, and the involvement of community health center personnel for activities outside the community health center building.
