<p>To improve the quality of online learning in Indonesia higher education, Faculty of Nursing (FoN), Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) supported by the Directorate of Higher Education in Indonesia that known as DIKTI developed an online course named Family Nursing. The course is a community nursing course in regard with the care of family nursing and it discusses the concept of family, family health, and the concept of a wellness family. The course was developed to achieve the mission of equitable access to information, relevance, and improvement of the quality of higher education throughout Indonesia, especially in nursing education. The online course was offered in one private nursing school in Jakarta area that never had any online course nor using online learning method in the delivery of their subjects. The aim of this report was to describe students’ experiences in an online course. This paper reports on the evaluation work of one semester online/blended learning project funded by DIKTI. Sixty five students, who experienced the online/blended learning method for the first time, were enrolled in the online course. The students have agreed to fill an evaluation online form after their mid semester exam. The evaluation form consisted of closed- and openended questions. This report revealed that most students (> 70%) agreed that their experience on the online (blended) learning was positive. However, it should be noted that, a quarter of students (27-28%) had less motivation to do the independent learning and perceived that the online learning was a learning experience that lack of support in developing their critical thinking. Several important themes further emerged including students’ issues (lack of knowledge and motivation), teaching-learning process issues (lack of facilities and clarity) and academic staff issues (minimal feedback and different perceptions between academic staff and students). Though online/blended learning can be employed to support nursing and healthcare education, there is limited appreciation of students' experience and the use of e-learning. Context is also being considered as an important part when applying the online/blended learning, thus, this report provides a new understanding of students’ opinions on their first experience when engaging with online learning at a private nursing school. This report further provides a number of inhibiting factors continue to affect the student experience.</p>
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic created major shifts around daily life across the globe. The rapid increase in cases throughout the world resulted in lockdown policies that resulted in the closure of schools and businesses, restrictions on movement or population mobilization, and restrictions on international travel. These changes affect the welfare of many communities, including the quality of life among community members. AIM: This cross-sectional study aims to determine the risk factors associated with poor quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Data were collected using an online questionnaire which collected information on demography, psychological responses, and quality of life. A total of 324 participants were recruited. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed using Chi-square. RESULTS: The findings showed that anxiety is associated with quality of life (p = 0.03) and individuals who experience anxiety are at 2.0 times higher risk of experiencing poor quality of life compared to those who do not experience anxiety. CONCLUSION: Nurses can play a role in managing anxiety by providing education which helps people reframe their perspectives and direct people to information from trusted sources, exercising, or other activities which support well-being.

Independent Double Check (IDC) is a strategy that plays a key role in medication safety. Studies have shown that its use can detect up to 95% of medication errors reducing incidents related to drug administration. Despite this benefit, not all nurses have implemented it. This study aims to describe nurses’ compliance in applying IDC at a private hospital in West Indonesia. The study used the descriptive quantitative method and purposive sampling was utilized in choosing 52 respondents. Data were collected from the respondents working in two inpatient wards where the highest number of medication errors occurred. A checklist was used to observe the nurses administer medications to patients in three occasions. The analysis of data employed univariate analysis method. The results showed that 35 (67.3%) of the respondents implemented IDC before medication administration, while 17 (32.7%) did not implement it. However, those who implemented IDC did not contribute to the reduction of medication errors in these wards. The authors recommend that further studies be conducted to investigate the factors associated with nurses’ compliance and non-compliance in applying IDC, and the relationship between nurses’ compliance to IDC and incidents of medication errors.
