BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is putting clinical practice in all nursing schools to the challenge. While students should be cautious of infection, they still need to practice in a hospital setting. AIM: The purpose of this study is to gain insight into students’ clinical experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This study employed a qualitative methodology and a phenomenological approach. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit seven clinical nursing students. We conducted semi-structured interviews until the data were saturated. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis to identify and describe the patterns. RESULTS: Five major themes emerged from students’ clinical practice experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: Psychological response, obtained support, inconvenient experience, positive side, and coping. CONCLUSION: The findings suggested that nursing school must address the difficulties students perceive, as clinical practice learning will almost certainly change in the following years due to the epidemic.

Pola asuh orang tua merupakan peran aktif orang tua terhadap perkembangan anakanaknya, terutama pada saat mereka masih berada pada tahap prasekolah, untuk meningkatkan kecerdasan moral anak sejak dini (tata karma, sopan santun, aturan norma agama dan moral, etika). Pola asuh orang tua yang digunakan ada 4 macam pola asuh yaitu demokratis, otoriter, permisif, penelantar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pola asuh orang tua bekerja dengan tingkat kecerdasan moral anak usia prasekolah. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional, pemilihan sampel dengan purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian yaitu anak usia prasekolah (4-5) tahun sebanyak 20 responden. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Fisher exsact test. Hasil uji statistik didapatkan hubungan yang tidak signifikan antara Pola asuh orang tua dengan Tingkat kecerdasan moral anak usia prasekolah (4-5) tahun, dengan nilai p = 0.053 walaupun tidak signifikan tetapi ada kecenderungan pada orang tua dengan pola asuh yang baik /demokratis (70%) yang mempunyai anak dengan tingkat kecerdasan moral baik. Maka dari itu diperlukan pola asuh yang demokratis dan stimulus yang baik untuk menjadikan kecerdasan moral anak baik.

ABSTRAKBerat badan lahir rendah merupakan penyebab tertinggi angka kematian bayi. Bayi Berat Lahir Rendah(BBLR) beresiko mengalami hipotermi. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) atau perawatan metode kangguru merupakan salah satu intervensi hipotermi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan efektivitas video dan demonstrasi pada discharge planning terhadap kangaroo mother care self efficacy pada ibu yang memiliki BBLR. Metode penelitian menggunakan desain quasy experimental non randomized prettest and posttest dengan kelompok kontrol. Teknik sampling yang digunakan kuota sampling dengan jumlah 19 responden di setiap kelompok. Analisis data menggunakan independent sample t test. Hasil studi menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan skor self efficacy antara kedua kelompok sesudah perlakuan (p=0,187) dengan nilai signifikansi 5%. Kedua metode edukasi baik video maupun demonstrasi sama-sama efektif untuk meningkatkan self efficacy. Perawat dapat menggunakan video untuk menggantikan demonstrasi saat melakukan discharge planning perawatan metode kangguru. ABSTRACT Low Birth Weight (LBW) is the highest cause of infant mortality in the first month of life. Low birth weight babies are at risk of experiencing hypothermia. One of the treatments for hypothermia is kangaroo mother care (KMC). The study aims to determine the differences in the effect of video and demonstration in discharge planning addressed to mother’s kangaroo mother care self-efficacy with low birth weight baby. This research used quasy experimental non-randomized pretest and posttest design. The sampling technique of this research used quota sampling, which was 19 respondents in each group. The data was analyzed using the Independent Sample t-Test. The result showed that there were no differences in self-efficacy scores between the video and demonstration groups after treatment (p=0,187) with a 5% score significant. Both methods, video, and demonstration education are equally effective in improving mother self-efficacy. Nurses can use video to replace demonstrations when performing discharge planning treatments for kangaroo mother care.

Grade inflation is a condition when there is an increase of grade point average without the same increase in students’ ability. Grade inflation also occurs in nursing education that needs to be solved since its existence is threatening nursing professionalism. The case shows that the average grade for subjects in clinical stage is close to the maximum point, while the average grade in academic stage is in normal distribution. In this qualtitative research, six clinical facilitators from six different nursing programs were included. The participants were asked regarding the presence of grade inlfation in their institutions. Further, the gap between grade in academic and clinical stages were questioned the factor(s) that make the different, how real the given grade reflect students’ ability, the impact of it to the students and all related elements, and the action to solve this problem. The factors which cause grade inflation in universities especially in nursing are related to the whole aspect of learning and teaching. They are including the institution or nursing program, the faculty, the students and the grading system. The implication of grade inflation among nursing students can be both short and long term such as student’s disatisfaction and their career once they graduated. The process of measuring students’ clinical performance can be made such as evaluation method, number of clinical facilitator, the ability to use evaluation instrument, and the grading system.

<p>The rate of death and illnesses on premature babies is mostly respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Desaturated-period frequently occurs on premature babies with RDS. One intervention to prevent it is a quarter turn from prone position. The research design was pre-experimental study with one group pre- and post-test design. This study involved 20 respondents that were selected with consecutive sampling technique. The setting of the research was in Perinatology ward at Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo. The oxygen saturation was examined before and after 2 hours of intervention. Data was then analyzed with Wilcoxon test. The results showed that median value of SpO2 before quarter turn from prone position was 94%, and its value after two hours of intervention was 96.5%. It was found that there was a significant effect in giving quarter turn from prone position to oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS. Quarter turn from prone position was able to increase oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS and is possible to be implemented in perinatology room.</p>

Adaptasi adalah menyesuaikan diri dengan kebutuhan atau tuntutan baru yaitu usaha untuk mencari keseimbangan kembali kedalam keadaan normal. Sedangakan dukungan keluarga adalah bantuan yang diberikan oleh anggota keluarga yang dapat diandalakan yang berupa informasi verbal atau non verbal dan tingkah laku yang memberi keuntungan emosional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dukungan keluarga dengan adaptasi pasien skizophrenia. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah obsevasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional.Sampel sejumlah 63 pasien skizophrenia yang menjalani rawat inap di Rumah Sakit Jiwa, diambil melalui teknik Simple Random sampling. Varibel yang diukur meliputi tingkat dukungan keluarga dan tingkat adaptasi pasien skizophrenia. Pengukuran tingkat dukungan keluarga menggunakan kuesioner dan pengukuran tingkat adaptasi dilakukan dengan cara observasi langsung. Dari analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Rank Spearman diperoleh koefisien korelasi sebesar 0.427 dengan probabilitas (sign) sebesar (0.000) dan tingkat signifikasi 95% ( = 0.05). Nilai koefisien korelasi lebih besar dari nilai tabel. Hal ini menunjukkan terjadi hubungan yang signifikan antara dukungan keluarga pesien Skizophrenia dengan peningkatan adaptasi pasien Skizoprenia. Tingkat adaptasi yang baik dapat menunjang pancapaian remisi pasien yang lebih baik. Perlu diadakan penelitian lebih lanjut dengan meneliti faktor regulator dan kognator yang mempengaruhi adaptasi, memperbaiki instrument penelitian dan metode pengambilan data.

Eighty six percent of postpartum mothers received early breastfeeding initiation, 50.3% were performed in the first hour after delivery, and 97.3% stated this procedure was introduced by 97.3% of health workers. Fifty one percent of postpartum mothers received information about the signs of the baby had enough milk, and 97.3% of health workers claimed to provide this information. More than 50% of postpartum mothers did not ask for breastfeeding assistance, while 100% of health workers claimed to have provided breastfeeding assistance. Fifty three percent of postpartum mothers were given information on the presence of breastfeeding volunteers, and 70.3% of health workers provided this information. Thirty nine of postpartum mothers acquired information about breastfeeding counseling facilities and only 64.9% of health workers delivered this information. Conclusion: There is a gap in perception of breastfeeding support between postpartum mothers and health workers.
