ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on nursing students’ academic and clinical performance. Nursing institutions have provided remote learning to continue the learning process. However, students have met several obstacles that caused a decrease in the quality of learning. Remote learning for education requires the support of information and communication technology. However, studies related to how the COVID-19 pandemic affected nursing education in Indonesia are still rarely done. Accordingly, this study was conducted to evaluate the implementation of remote learning for nursing education during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 331 members of the Association of Indonesian Nurse Education Center (AINEC). The instrument used was the Guidelines of Filling Out Remote Learning. The results showed that 51% of the study programs implemented remote learning, while 69% of the regulations for remote learning were created by rectors. The most common teaching materials were visual, text, and audio-visual content. These materials were distributed through WhatsApp Group, Learning Management System (LMS), and video conference. To support the process of remote learning, nursing institutions need to improve information technology staff and cooperate agreement with other institutions. Overall, the remote learning process needs to be further improved to increase the students’ learning quality. © 2022, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 virus has become a terrible thing and is a serious threat to health globally which spreads very fast throughout the world with the number of cases increasing sharply and causing high mortality rates. This disease has become an international public health emergency. AIM: This study aimed to systematically investigate the effectiveness of quarantine against the spread of disease due to the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: Searching for articles was using electronic databases in English such as CINAHL (EBSCO), Science Direct, ProQuest, Scopus, Springer Link, PubMed, Willey Online Library, Clinical key, Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE, Taylor and Francis Online, Cambridge Core, and sage journals to review the literature published between 2019 and 2020. RESULTS: Seven quarantine intervention programs were demonstrated to prevent and reduce the spread of COVID-19. The most common interventions were divided into four types of programs, namely: (1) Quarantine program: “Susceptible Exposed Infectious Recovered,” (2) quarantine programs: Mitigation, quarantine program: Public health intervention, (3) quarantine programs based on laboratories, and (4) quarantine programs on cruise ships. CONCLUSION: Successful interventions were characterized by a combination of multi-sectorial collaboration, community involvement, community-based service delivery, and broader programs both in scope and compliance. This program has proven to be beneficial in preventing or reducing the spread of COVID-19. Suggestion: The government can use these programs to prevent and reduce the spread of disease caused by COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic can cause various physical, social, and psychological problems for families. AIM: This study aims to determine the description of family psychosocial problems after the landslide disaster during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A qualitative descriptive research approach is used to find out the description and problems in detail. Focus group discussions were conducted with eight respondents who were affected by landslides. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out descriptively by bringing up several themes. RESULTS: We found four themes, namely, realizing there was something wrong with the physical, coping, and support system, sex being one of the primary needs, and the need to reduce psychosocial stress. From these four themes, one theme was found, namely, sex being one of the primary needs needed by the participants. We also found that all respondents were not afraid of the COVID-19 condition, but instead, they were more worried about their next house and place to live. This triggers psychosocial problems in the families of disaster victims. CONCLUSION: Family psychosocial problems experienced by landslide victims are eating and drinking, and psychosocial issues are also felt. The cause turns out to be from the effects of loss or the environment. Therefore, nurses can carry out trauma healing interventions by considering the source of the problem from the family.
