The Effect of the Application of the Team-STEPPS-Based Preceptorship Guidance Model on the Competence of Nursing Students.

Objective: Student competence is an important topic of discussion during the implementation of counseling in the clinic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the Team-STEPPS-based preceptorship guidance model on student competency. Methods: A comparative study was used to analyze the quantitative data. Participants were clinical practice students at "Ngudi Waluyo" Public Hospital with a total of 92 registered students divided into treatment and control groups. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U-Test were used to assess differences between the intervention and control groups. Results: There were post-test differences between the intervention group and the control group, namely clinical competence p-value (0.003), nursing management p (0.000), technical competence p (0.008), self-management p (0.000), and care-oriented patients p (0.000). Conclusion: The Team-STEPPS-based preceptorship guidance model is very important in increasing student competency, not only in mastering clinical competence, but also in mastering technical skill competencies, nursing management, self-management, and patient-oriented care skills, and therefore, can increase student independence.

Model of spiritual nursing care in enhancing quality of life of patients with heart failure.

Objectives: To develop a spiritual nursing care model to improve the quality of life of heart failure patients. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at two government hospitals in East Java, Indonesia, from August to November 2019, and comprised patients of either gender aged 30 years or above having classic heart failure symptoms of weariness, ankle swelling and dyspnoea. Standardised questionnaires were used to collect data regarding disease, psychosocial, spiritual, demographic and environmental factors as well as stressors, formation of meaning, coping strategy, spiritual wellbeing, and quality of life. Data was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. RESULTS: Of the 222 patients, 124(55.9%) were males and 98(44.1%) were females. The overall mean age was 57.7±9.96 years. Overall, 33(14.9) patients were suffering from heart failure for >5 years, 36(16.2) had been hospitalised >5 times, and 8(3.6%) had no health insurance cover. Psychosocial (T=2.110), spiritual (T=1,998) and environmental (T=2,019) factors had an effect on the ability to assess stressors. Disease (T=5.497), spiritual (T=3.596) and environmental (T=3.172) factors had an effect on spiritual wellbeing. Disease (T=7.553), psychosocial (T=2.230) and environmental (T=2.625) factors affected the quality of life. The ability to assess stressors affected meaning formation (T=3.293), which had an effect on coping strategies (T=3.863), which, in turn, had an effect on spiritual wellbeing (T=9.776), and that affected the quality of life (T=2.669). CONCLUSIONS: The spiritual nursing care model was found to be influenced by disease, psychosocial and environmental factors as well as by spiritual wellbeing.

Early Quality-of-Life Changes in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Prospective Study.

BACKGROUND: Postinjury symptoms and decreased quality of life are common after mild traumatic brain injury. However, few studies have examined how soon, after injury, these changes dissipate. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare changes in postconcussion symptoms, posttraumatic stress, and illness representations and identify predictors of health-related quality of life before and 1 month after hospital discharge for mild traumatic brain injury. METHODS: A prospective, multicenter, correlational design was used to measure postconcussion symptoms, posttraumatic stress, illness representations, and health-related quality of life. The survey was administered to 136 patients with mild traumatic brain injury between June 2020 and July 2021 at three hospitals in Indonesia. Data were collected at discharge and 1 month later. RESULTS: Compared with before hospital discharge, data collected 1 month after discharge showed that patients experienced reduced postconcussion symptoms, posttraumatic stress, better illness perceptions, and quality of life. Those with postconcussion symptoms (ß =-.35, p < .001), more posttraumatic stress symptoms (ß =-.12, p = .044), more identity symptoms (ß = .11, p = .008), worsened personal control (ß =-.18, p = .002), worsened treatment control (ß =-.16, p = .001), and negative emotional representations (ß =-.17, p = .007) were significantly related to worsened health-related quality of life. CONCLUSION: This study shows that within 1 month of hospital discharge, patients with mild traumatic brain injury had decreased postconcussion symptoms, posttraumatic stress, and improved illness perceptions. Efforts to impact mild brain injury quality of life should focus on inhospital care to optimize the transition to discharge.

Quality of self-report coping measures for children and adolescents with cancer: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Cancer and its treatments cause significant stress in children and adolescents. This stress is associated with risks of emotional and behavioral problem development and interfering with adherence to treatment regimens. Instruments enabling the precise evaluation of the coping behaviors of pediatric patients with cancer in clinical practice are needed. AIMS: The study aimed to identify existing self-report measures of pediatric coping patterns and to evaluate their psychometric properties, to aid the selection of tools for application to pediatric patients with cancer. METHODS: This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA statement and registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42021279441). Nine international databases were searched from their inception to September 2021. Studies with the main goal of developing and psychometrically validating pediatric coping measures with populations aged <20 years, not specific to any disease or situation, and published in English, Mandarin, or Indonesian were included. The Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist was applied. RESULTS: Of 2527 studies initially identified, 12 met the inclusion criteria. Five scales had positive internal consistency ratings and adequate reliability (α > .7). Construct validity ratings were positive for five scales (41.6%), intermediate for three (25%), and poor for three (25%). No information was available for one (8.3%) scale. The Coping Scale for Children and Youth (CSCY) and Pediatric Cancer Coping Scale (PCCS) had the largest numbers of positive ratings. Only the PCCS was developed for pediatric patients with cancer and showed acceptable reliability and validity. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: The findings of this review highlight the need to increase the validation of existing coping measures in clinical and research settings. Some instruments seem to be specific to adolescent's cancer coping assessment and knowledge of these validity and reliability of the instruments may improve the quality of clinical interventions.

Living experiences of people living with HIV-AIDS from the client's perspective in nurse-client interaction in Indonesia: A qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: Nurse-client interaction when providing nursing services is limited to optimizing treatment and self-care, with limited focus on the psychological problems of people living with HIV-AIDS. However, psychological problems manifest more often than the health risks of the disease itself. This study aimed to determine the emotional response of people living with HIV-AIDS who received limited attention from nurses from the perspective of nurse-client relationship. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A phenomenological qualitative design was used through in-depth face-to-face interviews in a semi-structured manner, in an effort to obtain complete data. This research used purposive sampling with Participatory Interpretative Phenomenology analysis, involving 22 participants (14 males and 8 females). RESULTS: This research produces several themes, with six subcategories: 1) Difficulty of social access, 2) Forcing to accept their situation and suppressing their will, 3) Wanting to be recognized like other people in general, 4) Social stigma and self-stigmatization affecting surroundings, 5) Lacking enthusiasm for life expectancy, 6) Always lingering under the shadow "when death picks up." CONCLUSION: The results showed that mental stress was experienced more than physical problems by people living with HIV-AIDS, thus prompting new changes to nursing services for HIV-AIDS patients that emphasize psychosocial aspects, in addition to clinical features, facilitated by satisfying relationships between nurses and clients to provide quality services.

Understanding Patients with COVID in the Isolation Rooms from the Perspective of Care: A Qualitative Study.

The journey of embracing life: Mothers' perspectives of living with their children with retinoblastoma.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the experience and views of mothers with children who have been diagnosed with retinoblastoma. DESIGN AND METHODS: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted in the period of 2019-2021. Interviews were conducted with 21 mothers of children diagnosed with retinoblastoma in Indonesia. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews and examined by content analysis. RESULTS: Mothers evolved from a sense of unacceptability to accepting challenges and gaining inner strength. Three themes were identified: 1) physical and psychological suffering, 2) awareness of changes and demands, and 3) keep moving forward. Mothers developed positive adaptive mechanisms for coping with the problems associated with having a child with retinoblastoma. Psychological adjustment and religious beliefs were key elements in their journeys toward embracing life in the moment. CONCLUSION: Findings illuminated psychological adaptation and coping strategies of mothers with seriously ill children and highlighted how difficulties and cultural norms shaped the adaptative process. Religion and health beliefs played varied and important roles in helping mothers to manage their stress and enhance their coping strategies. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Our findings revealed that it is important to routinely assess social support, traditional health beliefs, and spirituality on mothers, facilitate mentoring to help mothers find their inner strengths, and develop intervention programs designed to promote psychological adjustment without delaying treatment.

The outbreak of COVID-19: Resilience and its predictors among parents of schoolchildren carrying out online learning in Indonesia.

OBJECTIVE: Online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak, puts mental stress on parents and their children so that this requires extraordinary resilience when parents get additional tasks to accompany children in online learning that is done at home. The current study seeks to evaluate the resilience of parents accompanying schoolchildren in online learning. Besides, this study also examines independent socio-demographic predictors of parental resilience. METHODS: This descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 392 parents of children participating in online learning at home. Data were collected through an online questionnaire survey in the provinces of Java and Bali. Demographic questionnaires and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis with p < 0.05. RESULTS: Simultaneously the independent variables affect the resilience of parents as indicated by the value of F (9.010), p-value (0.000), and R (0.376). The predictors of parental resilience were the gender of the parents with the t-value (3.280), p-value (0.001), ß (4.572), parent's employment status with the t-value (3.752), p-value (0.001), ß (4,348), financial status with the t-value (4.754), p-value (0.000), ß (5.087), and the gender of the children with the t-value (2.849), p-value (0.005), ß (4.873). CONCLUSION: Predictor factors that affect the resilience of parents in providing online learning assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic need to get more serious attention, especially for mothers who have lower resilience than fathers. So that their children can still achieve better academic achievements.
