Newborns are at risk of developing hypothermia due to the instability of their thermoregulation systems and inability to adjust to changes in ambient temperature. This risk increases during hospitalization. Education is a strategy to improve nurses' understanding of the prevention of hypothermia in newborns in the hospital. This study aimed to analyze the impact of education about preventing heat loss on nurses' knowledge and behavior in preventing hypothermia in newborns. The study design was a quasi-experiment with one group pre-test-post-test and a total sample of 21 neonatal nurses who were selected using the consecutive sampling method. The results indicated that there was significant difference in nurses' knowledge and behavior pre- and post-education intervention (p < .001; α = .05). This study suggests that education on prevention of heat loss is an effective strategy to promote nurses' knowledge and behavior in preventing hypothermia.
Stunting is one of the health problems in Indonesia. The cause of stunting is inadequate intake of nutrients which will have an impact on physical growth, motor and mental development, as well as intelligence, socio-emotional values. Mothers who have stunted children experience different experiences. This causes different perceptions about the causes of stunting for mothers. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The purpose of the study was to explore the experience of mothers caring for children who experience stunting. The research was conducted in Banyumas Regency. The informants involved were 15 mothers who had stunted children aged 25-60 months. The research resulted in one of the themes, namely the causes of stunting for mothers. The themes consist of heredity categories, difficult children/picky eaters, children's health conditions, and financial conditions. According to the informant, heredity is the main cause of stunting, so it is assumed that stunting cannot be prevented. This shows the need for adequate information for informants about the factors that cause stunting. Mothers need counseling and supervision to increase their knowledge and ability in caring for children, especially in meeting nutritional needs.Â
Introduction. Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of death in children. Diarrhea is a disease characterized by increasing frequency defecation of more than three times a day with a change in stool consistency to liquid. When diarrhea occurs fluid and electrolyte loss for that effort is done by providing zinc supplementation.Objective. To identify the effectiveness of zinc supplementation in overcoming diarrhea in children.Method. journal article search is done by using electronic tool with internet connection like some database, that is: Pubmed, Google Scholar. Keywords used are "Zinc", "Zinc Supplementation ", "Diarrhea", “Children”; so get 3 journal articles from 2012 to 2017 for the review.Results. Nursing interventions in administering zinc supplementation to address diarrhea are categorized as safe and effective interventions in reducing the severity of diarrhea in children.Discussion. Increasing the frequency of defecation causes the body to lose fluids by improving the condition by providing zinc supplementation to prevent diarrhea.Conclusion: zinc supplementation is effective in diarrhea in children.
The incidence of stunting is a major nutritional problem faced by Indonesia. The most decisive intervention to reduce the prevalence of stunting includes the provision of complementary foods to infants. Empowerment of mothers during the complementary feeding period can give positive results on the nutritional status of children. The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of MPASI education videos based on local wisdom on maternal practices and nutritional status of infants 6-24 months. The research design was a quasi-experimental with a two group pre-post test design, sample of 40 mothers of infants 6-24 months which taken by consecutive sampling. The results showed that there were differences in mother's practice before and after the complementary feeding education video (p value < 0.001; = 0.05), while there was no difference in nutritional status before and after the video was given. This study recommends providing MPASI educational media for mothers during the exclusive breastfeeding period as a preventive measure for early complementary feeding and increasing maternal readiness before the complementary feeding period.
Professionalism in nursing is a self-identity for every nurse. The learning of its concept begins in the academic stage through subjects and the hidden curriculum. Learning strategies have been investigated to develop professionalism values among students. Aspects that affect professional behaviour need to be conveyed. This study aims to identify the correlation between the demographic profile and nurse students' professional behaviour in Indonesia. This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 291 student nurses across Indonesia was involved and selected by quota sampling. The questionnaire used the NSPBS adapted for Indonesian students and was given through the online survey platform. The non-parametric test using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests was chosen because the data were not normally distributed. The total mean value was 92.37. The variables' test showed there was no correlation between province and sex with professional behavior with p = 0.931 and p = 0.945, respectively. Meanwhile, there were significant correlations between the age and course toward professional behavior (p = 0.007 and p = 0.012). In this study, it was found that the older age and the extension course program showed a higher score on professional behavior. The difference is in healthcare practice and activity practice which may be shaped by work experience. Conclusion: Students' demographic profiles need more investigation as it is an antecedent of the professionalism concept
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
