Exploring the relationship between self-stigma and resilience among people living with HIV: a cross-sectional study

HIV is a disease that not only affects physical health but also carries a heavy psychological burden, primarily through self-stigma. Self-stigma can lead to low self-esteem, helplessness, and social isolation, weakening resilience or an individual's ability to survive and adapt to life's challenges. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the specific mechanisms by which resilience can mitigate the impact of self-stigma on PLHIV. Whether resilience can completely neutralize the effects of self-stigma or only partially is a question that still requires further answers. This study aims to find out the relationship between self-stigma and resilience among people living with HIV. This research used an observational research design using a cross-sectional approach. 150 HIV patients at Six Public Health Centre of Semarang City were involved in using purposive sampling techniques. The data was gathered using the Indonesian version of CD-RISC and the Indonesian version of the Self-Stigma Questionnaire. Spearman rank correlations were used to analyze the data. The health research ethics committee of the faculty of nursing at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung has approved this study as ethically appropriate. The results found a relationship between self-stigma and resilience where a p-value of 0.006 < α (0.05) with a contingency coefficient value of 0.222. The self-stigma and resilience have a weak correlation. Self-stigma can weaken the ability to create resilience in PLHIV, although the impact may vary depending on other factors. Nurses or health workers need to pay attention to PLHIV, who experience self-stigma, to rise and be resilient while being HIV positive.

The Relationship of Stroke Incidents With Clients’ Quality of Life

Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it is concluded that there is a significant relationship between the Number of Baby Teeth Aged 6-12 Months in the working area of Botania Community Health Center, Batam City, in 2023, with a p-value of 0.024. Keywords: Exclusive Breastfeeding, Infants aged 6-12 months, Baby Teeth

The Shield of Self-Esteem: Buffering against the Impact of Traumatic Experiences, Fear, Anxiety, and Depression.

Adverse life occurrences (e.g., severe accidents, violence/abuse, organic disorders such as COVID-19) can elicit traumatic responses that heighten fear, anxiety, and depression. However, scientific research has shown that certain variables, such as self-esteem, based on theories like terror management theory (TMT) and the anxiety-buffering hypothesis (ABH), can mitigate the negative effects of trauma. This study aimed to test the ABH by assessing the buffering role of self-esteem in the relationships among the impact of traumatic experiences, fear, anxiety, and depression. An observational research design was used. This study involved 321 participants who experienced COVID-19 as a traumatic experience. A sequential multiple-mediation model with observed variables (path analysis) was used to test the impact of the traumatic experience on fear, anxiety, and depression, examining the protective role of self-esteem. A path analysis revealed that fear and anxiety mediated the relationship between the impact of the traumatic experience of COVID-19 and depression. Additionally, in line with the ABH, self-esteem was found to mediate the relationship between the predictors and their adverse psychological consequences. This suggests that self-esteem played a buffering role, mitigating the negative impact of traumatic experiences on mental health outcomes. These findings underscore the central mediating role of self-esteem, as well as fear and anxiety, in the pathway from trauma-related factors to depression. These insights advocate for evidence-based interventions aimed at alleviating the psychological suffering associated with traumatic experiences, fostering adaptation, and supporting psychological health.

Development and validation of the Unmet Needs Questionnaire for young stroke survivors

Objective Owing to the lack of a suitable tool for detecting the unmet needs of young stroke survivors, this study aims to develop a validated questionnaire for evaluating these unmet needs. Design A cross-sectional, observational research design. Setting Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Linkou and Taoyuan branches in Taiwan. Participants A total of 211 participants (average age 53 years; within 6 months post-stroke) completed the questionnaire. Main measures A qualitative approach was used to create an item pool. Experts verified item suitability, and content validity was evaluated using the item content validity index. Item analysis was applied to determine item quality, and factor analysis was used to explore construct validity. In addition, parallel analysis was employed to ascertain the optimal number of factors. Results The scale development procedure resulted in a 27-item questionnaire that assesses the unmet needs of young stroke survivors after a stroke. The item content validity index was 1.0. The Unmet Needs Questionnaire has five factors: restoring prestroke abilities and life, rehabilitation-related resources, social support and self-adjustment, economic and post-stroke life adjustment, and stroke-related information. These five factors accounted for 54% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.91, while the alpha for the subscales ranged from 0.74 to 0.88. Conclusions The Unmet Needs Questionnaire showed acceptable reliability and validity. It can help clinical professionals and government agencies identify stroke survivors’ unmet needs and develop tailored care plans. Future research should explore the trajectory of post-stroke unmet needs using this tool.

Prevalence, trends, and outcomes of same-day discharge following elective percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective observational cohort study using routinely-collected health data.

To identify the prevalence, trends, and outcomes of same-day discharge following elective percutaneous coronary intervention among six public hospitals in one Australian State. A retrospective observational research design was used. A total of 4387 cases were obtained from the State Cardiac Outcomes Registry and National Hospital Cost Data Collection. The two datasets were linked using identifiable data items. Patients were those who had elective percutaneous coronary intervention between December 2012 and December 2019 either discharged the same day of the procedure or the next day. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The overall same-day discharge prevalence was 6.5%, with a trend increasing from 0.2% in 2013 to 9.0% in 2019. The prevalence varied at the individual hospital level. Two hospitals did not perform same-day discharge during the study period. The remaining hospitals demonstrated variability in same-day discharge prevalence, with the highest from one hospital being 28.2% in 2019. Almost all same-day discharge patients experienced no complications during or following percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 hours. Compared to next-day discharge, same-day discharge reduced the length of stay by 18 hours and conferred an average of $3695 cost-savings per patient. There was limited implementation of same-day discharge in the six public hospitals contributing data to this study. Improvement in the same-day discharge rate could result in better hospital resource utilisation and reduce low-value care. Hence, strategies to implement and promote same-day discharge are warranted.

Analysis of Risk Factors Associated with the Incidence of Placenta Accreta at an Indonesian Tertiary Hospital

Highlights:1. The increased incidence of placenta accreta is contributed significantly by parity classification, a history of cesarean section, body mass index, and interbirth interval.2. The findings of this study can be used as an additional reference in determining the risk of placenta accreta in pregnant women, specifically as an input in screening and antenatal care programs for pregnant women to provide early detection and appropriate management. Abstract The incidence of placenta accreta during pregnancy constitutes a serious problem in reproductive health. This complication has increased significantly over the last few decades, especially in developed countries where cesarean deliveries have also risen. Placenta accreta spectrum can cause very severe bleeding and potentially lead to other serious complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of placenta accreta in women giving birth at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This quantitative study used an analytical observational research design, specifically the case-control approach. The study sample was all mothers who gave birth at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, between 2019 and 2023. In addition to a univariate analysis, the data were subjected to bivariate analysis using a two-sample independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test for ordinal data and for nominal data using the Chi-square test as well as multivariate analysis using logistic regression (p<0.05). The results showed that parity, a history of cesarean section, body mass index, and interbirth interval were the variables identified as significantly associated with placenta accreta. According to the logistic regression analysis, parity, a history of cesarean section, and a history of curettage were identified as the primary determinants of placenta accreta incidence. The classification of parity was found to have the most significant relationship to the incidence of placenta accreta. This study concluded that parity classification, a history of cesarean section, body mass index, and interbirth interval are the significant risk factors contributing to the increased incidence of placenta accreta at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Hubungan ASI eksklusif dengan kejadian stunting pada balita 6-24 bulan pada tiga kecamatan kasus tertinggi stunting di Kabupaten Jeneponto, Sulawesi Selatan

Background: Stunting is a major issue with toddlers' eating habits, which are frequently linked to malnutrition during these crucial early years of development. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stunting as a developmental failure characterized by a body length deficit about age, specifically a z-score of less than -2. A persistent problem with public health in some communities is the high rate of stunting. A few elements add to hindering, with selective breastfeeding being a basic determinant. Hindering, or weakened direct development, is a typical wholesome issue among babies that influences long-haul well-being, mental turn of events, and future efficiency. This study looks to evaluate whether selective breastfeeding is a gamble factor for hindering kids between the ages of 6 and two years in the Jeneponto region. Methods: An observational research design with a case-control approach was used. Children aged 6 to 24 months who were recorded in the posyandu (community health post) toddler register across three sub-districts—West Bangkala, Bontoramba, and Rumbia—were chosen for their high stunting rates. Findings: The review uncovered that 39.67% of kids were solely breastfed, while 60.33% were not. Bivariate examination demonstrated a remarkable connection between restrictive breastfeeding and hindering in this age bunch (p = 0.03; OR = 1.74), recommending that non-only breastfed youngsters had a 1.74 times higher gamble of hindering contrasted with the people who were solely breastfed. In any case, multivariate examination, which represented factors, for example, kid age, birth weight, mother's level, and breastfeeding status, uncovered that the connection between restrictive breastfeeding and hindering was as of now not huge (p = 0.49; OR = 1.23). This suggests that when these extra factors are thought of, the gamble of hindering non-solely breastfed youngsters was just 1.23 times higher than in only breastfed kids, a distinction not measurably huge. Conclusion: Although the initial data indicate that not exclusively breastfeeding increases the risk of stunting by 74%, this risk is reduced when other factors like maternal height, child age, birth weight, and overall breastfeeding status are taken into consideration. This demonstrates the complexity of stunting and the need for comprehensive interventions that address breastfeeding practices as well as broader factors affecting the health of mothers and children.

Use of Standardized Nursing Terminologies to Capture Social Determinants of Health Data: An Integrative Review.

Addressing social determinants of health in nursing care is important for improving health outcomes and reducing health inequities. Using standardized nursing terminologies to capture this information generates sharable data that can be used to achieve these goals and create new knowledge. The purpose of this integrative review was to examine use of standardized nursing terminologies for collecting social determinants of health data in nursing research and practice. The CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases were searched using the terms "social determinants of health" [and] "nursing" [and] "standardized terminology" or names for each of the 12 American Nurses Association-approved terminologies. Limiters included peer-reviewed and English language. After removal of duplicates, 120 articles were found and screened for relevance and quality using a three-step process. This yielded a final sample of seven articles. Article data were extracted and analyzed for themes. In all articles, retrospective, observational, or secondary analysis research designs were used to analyze previously collected data from large, deidentified datasets or research studies. The Omaha System was the only standardized nursing terminology represented in the sample. All operational definitions of social determinants of health included behavioral items. In most studies, a social determinants of health index score was calculated, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and visualization methods. Results reported across the articles were diverse; some themes were identified. This review revealed published literature on this topic is limited. More quality improvement and multisite studies that examine the use of standardized nursing terminologies by nurses to collect and use social determinants of health data are needed.

Aspirin-clopidogrel combination therapy for ischemic stroke patients: Clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness analyses in low-resource setting.

Understanding the cost-effectiveness of aspirin-clopidogrel combination therapy is crucial in determining its influence on coagulation parameters, specifically prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness and clinical impact of using the aspirin-clopidogrel combination compared to aspirin alone in managing ischemic stroke. Employing an observational research design, inpatient ischemic stroke cases receiving the aspirin-clopidogrel combination were compared to those treated with aspirin alone. Focusing on the hospital's perspective on costs, the research specifically analyzed medical expenses without discounting costs or effects. The analysis involved comparing the direct medical costs and coagulation parameters between the two treatment groups. Our data revealed that the aspirin-clopidogrel combination demonstrated superior cost-effectiveness over aspirin alone, indicated by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) values for PT (IDR -246,930/second) and APTT (IDR -119,270/second). This indicated that the combination therapy was associated with lower costs while yielding better clinical parameter values. The ICER analysis placed the aspirin-clopidogrel combination in the southeast quadrant, marking its dominance over aspirin monotherapy by demonstrating higher effectiveness at lower costs. These results suggest that combination therapy might be a favorable alternative for managing ischemic stroke, presenting a viable option for consideration in clinical practice. The findings underscore the potential economic and clinical advantages of employing the aspirin-clopidogrel combination in routine stroke management protocols.

THE EFFECT OF BODY MASS INDEX ON SCOLIOSIS IN CHILDREN AGE 4-6 YEARS IN THE KARTASURA REGION

Background: Scoliosis is an S or C-shaped spinal deformity that can occur in early childhood. The prevalence of scoliosis in the world reaches 4.5%. The occurrence of scoliosis can be caused by various risk factors, one of which is body mass index. Body mass index is a measurement to identify nutritional status by measuring body weight and height. Objective: To obtain sources of information regarding the influence of body mass index on scoliosis in children aged 4-6 years. Method: This research uses a quantitative observational analytical research design with a causal relationship research approach. The sample population was 583 children. The sampling technique used probability sampling, namely proportional random sampling and a research sample of 86 children was obtained based on inclusion, exclusion and dropout criteria. Body mass index measurement identifies criteria based on age and gender with a Z-score. Scoliosis measurement using a scoliometer. Results: The binary logistic regression test stated that there was a significant influence between body mass index on scoliosis with a p-value of 0.047 (p<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant influence of body mass index on scoliosis in children aged 4-6 years with a role of 8.3% in increasing the scoliosis curve.

Management of Airway Clearance is Ineffective in Patients with Tuberculosis & Mediastinal Tumors

Ineffective airway clearance is a common problem in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This condition occurs due to an infectious process that causes an inflammatory response and excessive secretion production. The mediastinal tumor experienced by the patient resulted in the patient's condition getting worse because the lump in the mediastinal area pressed on the airway so that phlegm/secretions were difficult to expel. This study aimed to describe the ineffective management of airway clearance in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, pleural effusion, and mediastinal tumors. This study uses a descriptive observational research design in the form of a case report using a nursing care approach. The subject of this study was a 34 year old woman with a medical diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, pleural effusion, and mediastinal tumor. The intervention carried out, namely managing airway clearance, was not effective. Some of the actions carried out include semi-fowler position, collaborative administration of 3 lpm oxygen, combivent and pulmicort nebulization 3 times/day, and suctioning. After carrying out nursing procedures for 3 x 24 hours, the patient said he felt more comfortable in the semi-Fowler's position, she felt the shortness of breath was reduced after nebulization but the shortness of breath became worse again sometime later, the patient said he had difficulty expelling phlegm so his shortness of breath did not improve, SaO2 100%, RR 18 times/minute, and wheezing (-). It can be concluded that the interventions can reduce symptoms but cannot solve the problem. Management of ineffective airway clearance in this case cannot be done independently by the nurse. Collaboration is needed by considering the need for surgery and pharmacological therapy.

Investigating the Relationship Between Psychosocial Safety Climate and Mental Illness Stigma Among Emergency Medical Service Clinicians

Objectives To examine the relationship between psychosocial safety climate (PSC) and mental illness stigma among emergency medical service (EMS) clinicians. Despite the presence of mental health services at many EMS agencies, workers often do not seek treatment due to mental illness stigma. To facilitate treatment receipt and maintain a healthy workforce, we must understand factors contributing to stigma. Psychosocial safety climate refers to the degree to which workers perceive that their organization fosters a work environment focused on the protection of psychological health and safety. Despite its relevance, the relationship between PSC and mental illness stigma has yet to be examined. Methods Participants were recruited from EMS agencies in the Northeastern U.S. Census Region. We used an observational research design and multiple linear regression to investigate the relationship between overall levels of PSC using the Psychosocial Climate Scale (PSC-12) and mental illness stigma using the Endorsed and Anticipated Stigma Inventory - Workplace Stigma Subscale. We also examined separate facets of PSC to determine if one was more related to stigma. Using established guidelines and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, we compared workers rating their agencies as having high-risk (≤37 points) or low-risk PSC levels (≥41 points). Results The sample was n = 124 EMS clinicians (Mage = 29.6, SDage = 9.2, 53.2% male). Most were White (88.7%) with some college/college degree (79.8%). After adjusting for age, gender, race, education, and mental health treatment receipt, clinicians reporting that their workplaces were less focused on psychosocial safety and health (i.e., lower overall levels of PSC) also reported elevated levels of stigma (b = −0.27, SE = 0.05, 95% CI = −0.37, −0.17, p < .001). Exploratory analyses indicated that no PSC facet was more related to stigma than another. Clinicians reporting high-risk levels displayed stigma levels that were 38% higher compared to clinicians reporting low-risk PSC levels. Conclusions Psychosocial safety climate is an important and modifiable intervention target linked to mental illness stigma in EMS clinicians. Organizational policies, practices, and procedures that convey that mental health is valued and should be protected may reduce stigma and facilitate treatment receipt among this high-risk population.

The majority of the religion adhered to by the population in Indonesia is Islam, where in Islam it has been ordered to all Muslims to consume, utilize and use something that is halal and also good including skincare. Skincare is a product of skin care outside the body with certain functions. However, people's knowledge of using halal skincare is still low, this is evidenced by the fact that they are still allowed to use skincare that does not have halal certification because these products are commonly used. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of students of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKES) Muhammadiyah Lamongan University about halal skincare. This study used a descriptive observational research design, and the sample for this study was 2022 FIKES students, a total of 390 students. Sampling technique using purposive sampling. The instrument used was a closed questionnaire in the form of Google form. The results showed that the knowledge level of FIKES students about halal skincare was in the good category of 47.69%, the sufficient category was 46.16%, the less category was 6.15%. It can be concluded that the knowledge level of FIKES students at Muhammadiyah Lamongan University about halal skincare is in the good category.

Analisis Penggunaan Media Sosial Terhadap Kualitas Tidur Pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi Dan Bisnis Islam

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of social media and sleep quality in FEBI students. This study uses an analytical observational research design with a cross sectional approach. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of information about social media usage and sleep quality. The results showed that there was a weak correlation between social media use and sleep quality (ρ=0.004, R=0.506). This shows that excessive use of social media can interfere with the quality of students' sleep
