Psychometric Validation of the Indonesian Version of Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale 13.

A psychometric evaluation of the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale 13 (CRIES-13), which measures the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in children and adolescents caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, was conducted. We aimed to cross-culturally adapt and test the psychometric qualities of the CRIES-13 that was applied to Indonesian adolescents exposed to COVID-19 risk across gender groups. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in May 2022; 346 Indonesian adolescents aged 12 to 18 years completed the Indonesian version of the CRIES-13. The factorial validity results supported the scale's three-factor structure (intrusion, avoidance, and arousal), which satisfied all parameter index requirements and exhibited a favorable level of internal consistency reliability. Excellent results were obtained across genders for the four-level measurement of invariance (i.e., configural, metric, scalar, and full invariance), and they met the recommended criteria. Our Cronbach's alphas and composite reliability ratings were high (>0.7), indicating a strong correlation and reliability of the items for measuring each construct. We strongly support the use of the Indonesian CRIES-13, which was demonstrated to be valid and reliable for an adolescent population.

Facilitating nursing students' skill training in distance education via online game-based learning with the watch-summarize-question approach during the COVID-19 pandemic: A quasi-experimental study.

BACKGROUND: Key challenges for clinical education during the COVID-19 pandemic include how to continue teaching and learning, how to teach core clinical skills, and how to demonstrate professional and practical skills in various clinical situations. Therefore, nursing students need to learn how to assist with in-patient intubation, eliminate accumulated sputum overflow, and the basic techniques of sputum suction. OBJECTIVES: We proposed and investigated an approach to integrating online game-based learning with the watch-summarize-question strategy to improve nursing students' learning achievement, self-efficacy, learning engagement, and learning satisfaction in sputum suction skill training. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest design. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: We randomly allocated 45 first-year nursing students to an experimental group (n = 21) or a control group (n = 24) at a school of nursing in a university. METHODS: The experimental group adopted the online game-based learning and watch-summarize-question strategy, while the control group used video-based learning. Participants were assessed on learning achievement of sputum suction skills, self-efficacy, learning engagement, and learning satisfaction before and after the intervention. RESULTS: The experimental group, which used the proposed approach, achieved statistically significant higher learning achievement, self-efficacy, learning engagement, and learning satisfaction than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The integration of online game-based learning with the watch-summarize-question strategy demonstrated a positive impact on nursing students' sputum suction skill training. Nurse educators and researchers should consider integrating computer technology and teaching strategies to facilitate nursing education.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Indonesian Residents toward COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. We examined the KAP's relationship with factors associated with practice toward the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This cross-sectional survey study was conducted between March and April 2020 and included 1033 participants. Knowledge scores of COVID-19 were positively associated with wearing a mask when leaving home (odds ratio (OR): 1.22, p < 0.05). Although men had a lower knowledge score, they were less likely to go to a crowded place compared with women (OR: 0.79, p < 0.05). However, women (OR: 1.25, p < 0.05) were more likely than men to wear a mask when leaving home. Furthermore, men (OR: 3.32, p < 0.05) were more likely than women to have a positive attitude toward COVID-19. Indonesian residents had satisfactory knowledge, demonstrated a positive attitude, and followed appropriate practices toward the pandemic. More educated individuals had a more positive attitude. Men and women differed with respect to their knowledge-based practices. Men were less likely to go to crowded places, and women were more likely to wear a mask when leaving home. Furthermore, men were more likely to wear a mask when leaving home than women when men had the attitude that Indonesia can win against COVID-19.
