ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: to analyze and determine the effect of a combination intervention of early ambulation and dhikr therapy on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post-open cholecystectomy patients. METHODS: a pre-experimental design with one group pre and post-test design was used. The samples were 15 post-open cholecystectomy patients which were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using the instrument observation sheet and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Early ambulation used standard operational procedure in the hospital and dhikr therapy was carried out at 2 hours post-operation for 10-15 minutes. RESULTS: there was an effect of early ambulation and dhikr therapy on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post-open cholecystectomy patients with general anesthesia (Z=-3.442; p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: a combination of early ambulation and dhikr therapy can be recommended as interventions to improve intestinal peristaltic in a post-open cholecystectomy patient with general anesthesia.

Introduction: The importance of health literacy in achieving optimum health is highly significant, particularly in the nursing profession where it is an integral part of the roles and functions of nurses. Therefore, this scoping review aims to describe the roles of nurses in promoting patient health literacy and identify the determinant factors of health literacy in nursing practices. Methods: An integrative search was conducted through four databases, namely, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, SAGE Journal, and PubMed, using various keyword combinations such as "health literacy," "health information," "patient health literacy," "patient literacy," and "nurses." Furthermore, the inclusion criteria employed were peer-reviewed articles focused on the nursing profession, explicitly discussing health literacy related to nursing, and including original studies, such as cross-sectional, quasi-experimental, and qualitative studies. The selected review articles were all published between 2017 and 2022. Results: In total, 13 articles met the criteria and were applied in this scoping review. Most of these discuss health literacy related to nursing practice in clinical and community settings, as well as educational institutions. Health literacy is an essential aspect of professional nursing practice. Consequently, the supportive roles of nurses include acting as caregivers, facilitators, and educators to help patients overcome their literacy limitations and attain improved wellbeing. Conclusion: Nurses can improve the health literacy skills of patients by making health information related to their illnesses easier to access, understand, evaluate, and use. They must also recognize various factors influencing health literacy and use the factors as opportunities to optimize health literacy improvement. A health literacy approach can be applied by nurses to solve health problems and improve the quality of care for patients.

Background: Social stigma toward individuals with COVID-19 is a public phenomenon that significantly impacts the prevention of this disease. The study aimed to develop and examine the scale of social stigma against people with COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2021 using random sampling. Two hundred twenty-five people were involved in the study. All people are domiciled in Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia and have never been infected with COVID-19. The scale was designed based on the dimensional structure of social stigma and then evaluated the scale's psychometric properties. Result: The study found that instruments with 12 items had a content validity index of 1.0. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.875 showed as satisfactory. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on the first sample (n = 100), and four factors were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis: ignorance/labelling, stereotype, separation, and discrimination. Following this, the confirmatory factor analysis in the remaining sample (n = 120) showed a good fit between the four-factor model and the theoretical model of social stigma. Conclusions: The social stigma scale has been determined to be valid and reliable. Health practitioners can use this scale to predict social stigma toward individuals with COVID-19 to develop better transmission prevention strategies and improved quality of care.

RESUMO Objetivos: analisar e determinar o efeito de uma intervenção que combinou deambulação precoce e terapia dhikr na recuperação peristáltica intestinal de pacientes que foram sujeitos a colecistectomia aberta. Métodos: um delineamento pré-experimental foi utilizado com um grupo pré e pós-teste. As amostras incluíram 15 pacientes sujeitados a colecistectomia aberta e selecionados por amostragem intencional. Os dados foram coletados por fichas de observação do instrumento e analisados pelo teste de Wilcoxon. A deambulação precoce utilizou o procedimento operacional padrão no hospital e a terapia dhikr foi realizada por 10-15 minutos, duas horas após a operação. Resultados: a deambulação precoce associada a terapia dhikr afetou a recuperação peristáltica intestinal de pacientes que foram sujeitos a colecistectomia aberta com anestesia geral (Z=-3,442; p=0,001). Conclusões: a combinação de deambulação precoce e terapia dhikr pode ser recomendada como uma intervenção para melhorar o movimento peristáltico intestinal de pacientes após colecistectomia aberta com anestesia geral.
RESUMEN Objetivos: analizar y determinar el efecto de una intervención que combinó la deambulación temprana y la terapia dhikr sobre la recuperación peristáltica intestinal de pacientes sometidos a colecistectomía abierta. Métodos: se utilizó un diseño preexperimental con un grupo pretest y postest. Las muestras incluyeron 15 pacientes sometidos a colecistectomía abierta y seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional. Los datos se recopilaron por medio de fichas de observación del instrumento y se analizaron mediante la prueba de Wilcoxon. La deambulación temprana utilizó el procedimiento operativo estándar en el hospital y la terapia dhikr se realizó durante 10 a 15 minutos, dos horas después de la operación. Resultados: la deambulación temprana asociada con la terapia dhikr afectó la recuperación peristáltica intestinal de los pacientes que se sometieron a colecistectomía abierta con anestesia general (Z =-3,442; p=0,001). Conclusiones: la combinación de la deambulación temprana con la terapia dhikr puede recomendarse como una intervención para mejorar el movimiento peristáltico intestinal de los pacientes después de una colecistectomía abierta con anestesia general.
