Introduction: The implementation of the Indonesian National Nursing Competency Test (INNCT) has faced several challenges, especially related to the low pass rate. The pass rate has decreased over time, but the number of examinees has increased. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nursing schools’ performance in INNCT using the Context Input Process Product (CIPP) evaluation model.Methods: A quantitative description was used in this study. The Performance Evaluation of Nursing Program Questionnaire based on CIPP was developed and used to collect the data. The participants in this study were faculty members and alumni from the nursing schools that were a member of AINEC within region V. The variables of this study were the nursing school pass rate and the school’s performance.Results: 320 participants were involved in this study. The passing rate of the nursing school in INNCT was in the moderate category. The CIPP evaluation shows that out of the four aspects, there were two (2) aspects, namely “context and input” that were in the category of having met the requirements and two (2) aspects, namely “process and product”, were in the category exceeding the requirements.Conclusion: Nursing schools have fulfilled the government regulation based on the CIPP evaluation and the nursing schools need to make a strategic plan to improve their performance and to increase their pass rate in INNCT.
<p class="abstrak">Mentoring is a relationship between someone who has more experience and someone who has less. The literature shows that a mentoring program can enhance the academic success and character development of an individual. A mentoring program started in the school of nursing at UPH in 2013-2014 and it was a new experience for the students. The purpose of this study is to describe the benefits of the mentoring program. The research design is a qualitative descriptive study. The number of participants in the study were 17 mentors and 34 mentees. Narrative qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The results of the mentors content analysis of the benefits of the program revealed three themes: joint learning, effective communication skills, and caring for others. The results of the narrative data analysis of the mentees produced three themes: mutual respect, kinship, and effective academic learning. Based on this research, it is hoped that the mentoring program can be further developed, especially in the areas of ongoing recruitment and training of mentors.</p><p class="abstrak"><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Mentoring adalah suatu hubungan antara seseorang yang lebih berpengalaman dengan seseorang yang kurang pengalamannya. Literatur menunjukkan bahwa program mentoring akan memberikan dukungan untuk kesuksesan akademik dan pengembangan karakter diri. Program mentoring mulai dilaksanakan pada semester genap 2013-2014 dan merupakan hal yang baru untuk mahasiswa. Perlu untuk mengetahui gambaran program mentoring dalam bentuk data naratif. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menggambarkan manfaat dari program mentoring. Desain penelitian adalah studi deskriptif kualitatif. Jumlah partisipan dalam penelitian adalah 17 mentor dan 34 mentee. Data kualitatif naratif dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis isi. Hasil analisis data naratif dari mentor tentang manfaat program mentoring menghasilkan tiga tema yaitu belajar bersama, keterampilan komunikasi yang efektif, dan rasa peduli kepada orang lain. Hasil analisis data naratif dari mentee tentang manfaat program mentoring menghasilkan tiga tema yaitu saling menghormati, rasa kekeluargaan, dan pembelajaran akademik yang efektif. Diharapkan program mentoring dapat dikembangkan lebih baik lagi khususnya untuk program perekrutan dan pelatihan yang berkelanjutan bagi mentor.</p>
Since early 2020, a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is causing COVID-19 pandemic. This novel virus is very contagious as it spreads quickly, primarily via droplets during person-to-person contact. The gold standard method to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection is the reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay, but this technology is labor-intensive and time-consuming. An effective, point-of-care assay will be required to screen the general population for SARS-CoV-2 infection, hence RT-qPCR assay could be used mainly to confirm suspected cases with COVID-19. In this cross-sectional study, we described our experiences in using the antibody and antigen rapid test devices to screen for SARS-CoV-2 infection among staff and students at Universitas Pelita Harapan, respectively. Firstly, we found that the participating staff who worked regularly at the academic premises were not infected by SARS-CoV-2 during November and December 2020, suggested by seronegative results (0 out of 55). Secondly, we observed that among seropositive students who were living at the dormitory, the antigen rapid testing did not detect any positive subject (0 out 26), despite some among those exhibited the positive results when tested with RT-qPCR (8 out 26). The calculated sensitivity was 0%, while the specificity was 100%. Taken together, our findings indicated the weakness of using the antibody and antigen rapid test devices as a screening tool for SARS-CoV-2 infection among our cohorts.
<p>The implementation of the Indonesian National Nursing Competency Test faces several challenges, especially those associated with low passing rates. Low passing rates are a concern of all nursing schools because they reflect the quality of the institution. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors predicting success on the Indonesia National Nursing Competency Test. The research design was descriptive correlational. Participants in the study were 201 alumni of the Faculty of Nursing at Universitas Pelita Harapan in Indonesia. Statistical tests showed a significant correlation between academic achievement (academic stage GPA, professional stage GPA, English proficiency score, and tryout) and the national competency test, while demographic data showed no significant correlation. Academic achievement plays a significant role in success on the Indonesian National Nursing Competency Test.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Pelaksanaan Uji Kompetensi Nasional Perawat Indonesia menghadapi banyak tantangan terutama berakitan dengan rendahnya tingkat kelulusan. Tingkat kelulusan yang rendah menjadi perhatian dari semua institusi pendidikan keperawatan karena hal ini menjadi potret dari institusi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menjelaskan faktor-faktor prediksi keberhasilan dalam Uji Kompetensi Nasional Perawat Indonesia. Design penelitian menggunakan deskripsi korelasi. Partisipan penelitian adalah alumni Fakultas Keperawatan Universitas Pelita Harapan Indonesia sejumlah 201. Uji statistic menunjukan korelasi yang signifikan antara hasil bidang akademik (IPK tahap akademik, IPK tahap profesi, nilai kemampuan bahasa Inggris, dan <em>try out</em>) dengan uji kompetensi test, sedangkan data demografi tidak menunjukan korelasi yang signifikan. Pencapaian bidang akademik memiliki peran signifikan didalam keberhasilan pada Uji Kompetensi Nasional Perawat Indonesia.</p>
adalah suatu kelainan berupa inflamasi kronik saluran napas yang mengakibatkan penyempitan saluran napas, sehingga meningkatkan resistensi aliran udara dan menurunkan laju aliran ekspirasi. Selain terapi farmakologis, penatalaksanaan asma juga dapat dilakukan secara non farmakologis, diantaranya dengan latihan incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise yang dapat meningkatkan aliran puncak ekspirasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise terhadap peningkatan aliran puncak ekspirasi (APE) pasien asma. Metode penelitian adalah quasy experimental pre-test dan post-test with control group. Jumlah responden penelitian adalah 80 orang yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu 60 orang kelompok intervensi dan 20 orang kelompok kontrol. Hasil uji beda paired sample t-test pada kelompok intervensi menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan APE sebelum dan sesudah intervensi (65,05% vs 81,17%, p=0,00). Hasil uji independen t-test menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan APE kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol (81,17% vs 65,10%, p=0,00). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa latihan incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise berpengaruh pada peningkatan APE.
