Experiences of nurses providing care for patients with COVID-19 in acute care settings in the early stages of the pandemic: A thematic meta-synthesis study.

The aim of this work is to synthesize and interpret qualitative research examining the experiences of nurses providing care for patients with COVID-19 in acute care settings in the early stages of the pandemic in different countries. The prevalence of disasters, including the pandemic, is increasing globally. It is important to understand nurses' experiences in depth to effectively manage extraordinary events that may occur in the future. This is a thematic meta-synthesis study. Electronic databases, including CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, and Scopus, were searched for publications from December 2019 to October 2020. The search was updated for publications to 30 May 2022. The thematic synthesis method was used to analyse and interpret the data. The experiences of the nurses giving care to patients with COVID-19 were grouped under four themes: (1) Difficulties encountered in the care of patients with COVID-19; (2) mixed emotions experienced in the care of patients with COVID-19; (3) coping strategies that nurses used in the management of the pandemic; (4) the benefits of the COVID-19 to nurses. Nurses faced many difficulties and experienced mixed emotions while providing care for patients with coronavirus disease. Perceived social support was seen as the most important strategy for coping with these difficult situations. It is important to be aware of the difficulties and emotions experienced by nurses and support them during the COVID-19 pandemic for the management of future pandemics.

Factors Associated with HIV Virological Non-Suppression Among Adults Receiving Anti-Retroviral Therapy at Lira Regional Referral Hospital, Northern Uganda

Background: By 2030, all Adults with HIV will have been diagnosed, will be receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), and will have achieved viral load suppression. These goals form the global effort to stop new HIV infections, increase treatment coverage, and end AIDS-related deaths. This study investigated the variables that affect HIV RNA viral non-suppression among Adults living with HIV at Lira Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Methods: For this mixed-methods study, data was collected using a data extraction form, a semi-structured questionnaire, and a key informant interview guide. STATA 17 was used to analyze the quantitative data, and the thematic method was used to analyze the qualitative data. The results were presented in charts, tables, and themes for quantitative data and qualitative data, respectively. Results: Of the 425 respondents, 235 (55.3%) were female and 190 (44.7%) were male. The majority, 208 (48.9%), were between the ages of 31 and 40. Of those, 238 (56%) had at least a primary education, and 264 (62.1%) were married. The prevalence of HIV RNA viral non-suppression was at 8.5% among Adults living with HIV and 91.5% were HIV RNA virologically suppressed. Recent CD4 counts, Baseline viral load, and WHO clinical stage were significantly associated with HIV RNA virological suppression. In addition to that, adherence (aOR =1.00, 95%CI: 0.004-0.07, p=0.001) was associated with HIV RNA virological non-suppression. Qualitatively, results revealed that Status disclosure is always done by close relatives of the victims, stigma, and discrimination were not common in the community. There is a need for strategies on how to promote drug adherence among Adults living with HIV rather than just providing the treatment, as viral load suppression is related to baseline viral load, CD4, marital status, and drug adherence. In this study, monitoring the immunological response through scheduled CD4 and viral load tests is critical for maintaining patients' immunity and preventing disease progression. Intensive adherence support and counseling should conclusively be provided through the effective implementation of ART programs by providers to enhance viral suppression and ensure the quality of care and treatment.

Pandemik di Timur Tengah Dalam Karya Kesusasteraan Arab: Satu Tinjauan Awal (Pandemics in the Middle East in Arabic Literary Works: A Preliminary Review)

History has proven the existence of global pandemics since centuries ago that profoundly impacted society. The situation of society during the pandemic can be seen through readings of Arabic literature works which play very important roles in getting the picture of Middle East society. The purpose of this study is to identify preliminary review related to pandemics in the Middle East which are recorded in Arabic literary works. This study uses qualitative method by analyzing the content of corpora based on thematic method. Based on this preliminary review, several new themes have been developed including the theme of infectious diseases in the Middle East such as cholera and black death. Aspects discussed including the location of the pandemic, the community's situation against the pandemic, the impact, and how to deal with the pandemic. As a result of this literature review, it is found that in discussion about the pandemic, Arabic literary works give special emphasis on the sociology of society, health, and ecosystem of a country. Therefore, it is hoped that more Arabic literary masterpieces can be translated due to it importance and benefit for future research regarding pandemic

A Systematic Review of Adolescent Flourishing.

Traditionally, the study of well-being has been approached from the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives. However, the last findings suggest that both aspects are complementary, giving place to an integrated conceptualization of well-being called flourishing. In spite of the constant increase of research around this construct, there is still little information regarding flourishing in adolescents. The objective of this study is to review the available literature on flourishing in adolescence in relation to its tie with other constructs, its study in different contexts and the way it has been operationalized. The selection of the studies was conducted in two phases. First, it was verified that the exclusion and selection criteria were met. Then, an evaluation of the quality of the pre-selected studies was carried out. The data were synthesized through the thematic synthesis method. For the results, 28 empirical studies were selected. Four thematic axes were identified: (a) Flourishing in different contexts, (b) Flourishing in regards to other results and positive psychological characteristics and/or their negative counterpart, (c) Flourishing and psychosocial vulnerability, and (d) indicators for the evaluation of flourishing. Suggestions are provided with the goal of consolidating the science of human flourishing.

Exploring participants' perspectives on adverse events due to resistance training: a qualitative study.

The objective of this study was to explore the experiences and perspectives of individuals with chronic health conditions who had an adverse event (AE) as a result of resistance training (RT). We conducted web conference or telephone-based one-on-one semi-structured interviews with 12 participants with chronic health conditions who had an AE as a result of RT. Interview data were analyzed using the thematic framework method. Six themes were identified: (1) personal experiences with aging influence perceptions of RT; (2) physical and emotional consequences of AEs limit activities and define future RT participation; (3) injury recovery defines the severity of AE; (4) health conditions influence the perceived risks and benefits of participating in RT; (5) RT setting and trained supervisioninfluence exercise behaviors and risk perceptions; and (6) experiencing a previous AE influences future exercise behavior. Despite participant awareness of the value and benefits of RT in both the context of aging and chronic health conditions, there is concern about experiencing exercise-related AEs. The perceived risks of RT influenced the participants' decision to engage or return to RT. Consequently, to promote RT participation, the risks, not just the benefits, should be properly reported in future studies, translated, and disseminated to the public. Novelty: -To increase the quality of published research with respect to AE reporting in RT studies. -Health care providers and people with common health conditions will be able to make evidence-based decisions as to whether the benefits of RT truly outweigh the risks.

Assessment of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology in Transport Logistics in Nigeria

The logistic technologies for effective and efficient ‘transport operations’ in the areas of stock tracking, machine tracking, workers tracking, time tracking, stock sizes and shape, location identification, and stock routing and schedule shipment are deficient in the Nigerian construction industry, when compared to manufacturing and retailing sectors which are known to have fully adopted the RFID technology in these operations for effective performance. This article assessed the benefits of RFID technology for transport logistic operations in the construction industry. Lagos State and the F.C.T. Abuja, Nigeria were the selected geographical study areas, from which 5 manufacturing companies, 5 retailing companies and 5 construction projects were purposively selected. Mixed methods research strategy was used. The research instruments included an observation guide (quantitative) and interviews (qualitative). The collected quantitative data were analysed, using descriptive analytical tools: frequencies and percentiles. The qualitative data was analysed, using the thematic method. The study found that 80% and 60% of the manufacturing and retailing sectors respectively, observed, adopted RFID technology for transportation processing operations. The study revealed further that, RFID technology was not utilised in construction for transportation purposes. It was found that the key benefits of utilising the RFID technology are: improved degree of material traceability; improves safety of resources; improvement in control of material; easy to tracking of materials on site; check on the availability of materials; and allows for contactless identification in construction. It can be concluded that implementation of RFID technology in construction would translate into improvement in material control, checking, tracking, safety and traceability onsite.

Economic Status and Persistent Defilement Cases in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya

Statistics on child abuse revealed that defilement is the most common form of abuse in Kenya. This paper explores the effect of economic status on persistent defilement cases in Tharaka Nithi County. This study was guided by theory of Four- Factor Traumagenic. This study used phenomenological research design to collect qualitative data. The unit of analysis for this study was victims of defilement. The target population for this study was all the 98 defiled children (93 girls and 5 boys), 98 parents/caregivers and 5 chiefs. There were three interview schedules developed for parents/guardians of defiled children, chiefs and defiled children. Collected data was analysed using thematic method which entails identifying, analysing, and reporting patterns (themes) within data. The study findings revealed that the need to provide basic needs, assist parents/caregivers in income generation, use of motorbikes to school, and need for money in exchange for sex have greatly contributed to high defilement cases in the study area. The study recommends that the parents need to advance their economic sources of livelihood in order to alleviate themselves from poverty levels and meet the social and basic needs of their families including their children.

Food Environments, Food Security, and Household Food Availability of Circular Migrant Families: A Mixed-Methods Study Among Brick Kiln Laborers in Bihar, India.

Circular migration is the dominant pattern of movement in India and is a livelihood strategy used by many food insecure rural households. Repeated shifts in food environments have important implications on household food security and dietary patterns but have not been studied. To explore differences in the food environment, food security, and food availability between home and destination spaces. Mixed-methods research was conducted among circular migrant families working and residing on brick kilns in the state of Bihar. Utilizing stratified cluster sampling, 2 rounds of cross-sectional data were collected from 2564 families. Additionally, 25 in-depth interviews were conducted with circular migrant parents, kiln owners, and labor contractors. The Food Insecurity Experience Scale was validated for use in our study population. Bivariate analyses were conducted to estimate the association of food insecurity with sociodemographic variables. Qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive thematic methods. Seventy percent of respondents utilized at least one nonmarket source of food at the origin; at the destination, sources of food were limited to the private market. Despite higher food prices at the destination, perceived food affordability was higher during periods of migration, resulting in improved food security. Tubers, rice, and wheat were typically available in the household daily, whereas fruits, eggs, and dairy were typically unavailable during the week. Circular migration can enable short-term food security by improving food affordability. Policy frameworks must address the root causes of chronic food insecurity, especially among rural-to-rural circular migrant families.

Model Pendidikan Keluarga Nabi Ibrahim

In this modern era, parents feel that parents face enormous challenges in family education. This is related to the rapid flow of globalization and the rapid pace of information and communication technology. The rapid flow of information and communication makes our children need a very, very strong filter. for himself, therefore the family today needs an educational model that is used to rearrange the pattern of education in the family in order to face the great challenges of this globalization. This research contains types of library research; the approach used in this research is an interpretive approach; the methods that will be used in this research are thematic methods, namely collecting verses of the Qur'an, which have the intent to discuss the family of the Prophet Ibrahim. Prophet Ibrahim's family education model employs two methods for educating his son: educational materials and educational methods. Educational materials include monotheism education and moral education, and Prophet Ibrahim always prayed for his son to become a pious child, as he does in Surah As-Shaffat verse 1 .

Women entrepreneurs in Southern Ethiopia: Capacity building programs for women empowerment and challenges in implementation

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the availability of capacity-building programs for women entrepreneurs and investigate the main challenges that women entrepreneurs face. 258 women entrepreneurs were randomly selected from six randomly selected zones in the SNNPR using a two-stage selection technique. Paper Assisted Personal Interview (PAPI) method was used to acquire quantitative data from women entrepreneurs. In addition, key informant interviews and focus group discussions with government officials and women entrepreneurs were conducted. Quantitative data were interpreted using inferential statistics such as proportion tests, pairwise proportion tests, and chi-square test, while qualitative data was analyzed using the thematic method. We found that training, marketplace, and cooperative services are relatively easily provided and implemented, while credit and market information are challenges for women entrepreneurs. Financial constraint is a main problem. Findings show that government and other bodies are working to strengthen the capacity of women entrepreneurs but that implementation is the weak link.

The Conception of Rahmah li al-‘Ālamīn through Integration Both Fiqh and Sufism

Since the beginning, Islam has promised universal and global goodness (raḣmah li al-‘ālamīn). It's just that in reality the goodness was still particular and local. This imbalance is caused by an unequal understanding between the dimensions of exoteric fiqh (body) and esoteric sufism (mind) which represents the human condition which consists of body and mind. Thus, this research is aimed at explaining the universality of Islam for global goodness through integration between both dimensions. This research is a library research. The method used is the thematic method, to explore and confirm a theory to its deepest intent. The analytical tool used for this purpose is content analysis. The results of the analysis show that the fiqh-exoteric dimension will produce physical goodness (maqāṣid al-sharī’ah), and the sufism-esoteric dimension will produce spiritual goodness (maqasid al-ṣūfiyyah), so that with the integration of the two, the goal of Islamic universality (maqasid al-dīniyyah) will be born.

Factors Associated with Maternal Engagement in Infant Care When Mothers Use Substances.

Mothers who use substances can play a key role in the treatment and care of their infants. However, challenges exist to engaging these mothers in the care of their infant. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with maternal engagement in infant care when mothers are experiencing substance use disorders. A systematic search was conducted using the databases of CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, and PubMed along with a manual search of Google Scholar between the years of 2012 and 2022. Studies were included if they were (1) original qualitative research; (2) published in English; (3) peer reviewed; (4) from the perspective of mothers who use substances or nurses; (5) included descriptions of interactions between mothers who use substances and their infants during postpartum care, and/or in the nursery or neonatal intensive care unit; and (6) conducted in the United States. The studies were assessed for quality and validity using 10 criteria from the Joanne Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research. Findings from 22 qualitative studies were synthesized using a thematic synthesis approach and revealed 3 overarching themes that included 7 descriptive subthemes that identified factors to maternal engagement. The seven descriptive subthemes included: (1) Attitudes Toward Mothers Who Use Substances; (2) Knowledge on Addiction; (3) Complicated Backgrounds; (4) Emotional Experiences; (5) Managing Infant Symptoms; (6) Model of Postpartum Care; and (7) Hospital Routines. Participants described stigma from nurses, complex backgrounds of mothers who use substances, and postpartum models that influenced mothers' engagement in infants' care. The findings suggest several clinical implications for nurses. Nurses should manage their biases and approach mothers who use substances in a respectful manner, increase their knowledge of issues and care related to addiction in the perinatal period, and promote family-centered approaches to care. The findings of 22 qualitative studies described factors associated with maternal engagement in mothers who use substances that were integrated using a thematic synthesis method. Mothers who use substances have complex backgrounds and experience stigma which can negatively impact their engagement with their infants.

TIME AND TIMING IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP RESEARCH: INSIGHTS FROM A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

The factor of time has drawn considerable attention in entrepreneurship research for the past decades. There is widespread agreement among scholars that time plays a significant role in the development of new ventures: research on life cycle theory, timing of activities, and individual time perspectives had a lasting impact on the academic field. However, the broad interpretation of temporality extends the field of research to various disciplines and leads to a strong fragmentation. Therefore, even in recent work, scholars still call for the adoption of a dynamic view in entrepreneurship research and encourage the use of time-conscious methodologies. This paper conducts a systematic literature review to provide an overview on the thematic foci, methods, main findings, sample specifics, and open questions in this area. We perform co-citation analyses to quantify the extent of bibliographic fragmentation and thereby identify potential knowledge and research gaps that need to be addressed by future research.

Uncovering the Human and Divine Aspect of Ridha in the Qur'an through the Lens of Tafsir Tahrir wa Tanwir

This article explores the concept of Ridha in the Qur'an, focusing on its background and purpose. The concept of Ridha is inseparable from the ongoing debate between Sunnis and Shiites, who have differing interpretations of the concept in order to legitimize their respective ideologies. The study employs a thematic method, analysing the views of Ibn Asyur in the tafsir Tahrir wa Tanwir, which relates to the concept of Ridha. The results reveal that Ibn Asyur divided the concept into two: Ridha among fellow humans and Ridha from God to His creations. The Qur'an, being a holy text that guides mankind, delves into the topic of Ridha and presents it in two aspects: Ridha Allah and Ridha man. Although these two aspects appear together in the same verse, the Qur'an also emphasizes the inequality of God with His being (tanzih), making both types of Ridha part of the mutasyabihat concept. To fully understand the meaning, it is necessary to differentiate between Ridha Allah and Ridha Human. Through his book, Tahrir wa Tanwir, Ibn Asyur aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Ridha from both the human aspect and as the nature of Allah SWT.

Penerapan flipped classroom dalam pembelajaran tata bahasa: Sebuah tinjauan pustaka tematik

The development of information technology in language learning has encouraged teachers to switch from traditional learning methods. One of the learning methods that utilize information technology is the flipped classroom method which combines learning methods in the classroom and outside the classroom. This method can also be applied in learning grammar. This study aims to identify the benefits and constraints of implementing the flipped classroom in teaching grammar in foreign language classes. This research is a literature review using the thematic literature review method. The data sources for this literature review are 29 research articles found in the Google Scholar, ResearchGate and FreeFullPDF databases based on keywords and criteria determined by the researchers. The results of the thematic literature review show that the application of the flipped classroom method has a positive impact on students' mastery of grammar, encourages teachers to be more creative in making materials, and makes students more independent, confident and active in class discussions. However, the implementation of this method has several obstacles, including the problem of internet network stability, the preparation of teaching materials which is quite time-consuming, and the difficulty of adapting the application of this method for both students and teachers. Keywords: Flipped classroom, grammar, thematic literature review

MEMILIH PEMIMPIN NON MUSLIM DALAM AL-QUR`AN

Regions and countries with Muslim majority populations have not fully accepted leaders who are not from within their circles. This case has occurred in several countries, one of which is Indonesia, such as the appointment of the Lenteng Agung village chief, Susan Jasmine Zulkifli, who is a Christian. In addition, there was also the appointment of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama as the Governor of DKI Jakarta who had a Christian and Chinese background. The above case makes the need for research from the point of view of al-Qur`an through Hamka's Tafsir al-Azhar and M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir al-Mishbah by proposing formulas, namely: 1) How to interpret the verses choosing a non-Muslim leader in the Koran according to Hamka and Muhammad Quraish Shihab? 2) How are the similarities and differences between Hamka's interpretation and Muhammad Quraish Shihab regarding the verses of the Koran about choosing a non-Muslim leader in the Qur'an? This research is a library research (Library Research) with the thematic method or Mawd {u> 'i> as well as a comparison of the two interpretations. The conclusion of this research is that Hamka refuses to make non-Muslims as leaders, while M. Quraish Shihab does not directly prohibit choosing non-Muslims as leaders. The common ground between Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab is that they both prohibit choosing non-Muslim leaders. The difference is that Hamka understands based on the birth of the text, while M. Quraish Shihab is based on context.
