Abstract:This research is motivated by the emergence of the phenomenon of married women having dual roles, namely housewifes and working. In ancient times, a culture has been passed down regarding the role of men as leaders and the role of women raising children and carrying out their responbilities in the household. Women who are married and working arewoman who have multiple roles. When a woman carries out this dual role, she will require greates energy and is prone to work fatigue because she has a greater workload.… Show more
“…An incidental sampling technique (which is a type of non-probability sampling) was applied to select 197 students in a college of nursing and midwifery in one north-central state of Nigeria. The students selected were those present on campus at the time of data collection, and as previously used in other non-experimental studies, the incidental sampling technique was used in selecting respondents for the study (Anggraini, Rejeki & Puspitaningrum 2021 ). This technique permits the researcher to utilise those subjects present without going through the randomisation process.…”
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death for women worldwide. Breast self-examination (BSE) is an essential, low-cost, and simple tool for detecting breast cancer early. Employing the idea of ‘charity begins at home’ by involving student nurses in teaching BSE to relatives will improve early detection.Aim: To assess nursing students’ practice and willingness to teach BSE to their relatives.Setting: A college of nursing and midwifery in one state under North-Central Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed. Through incidental sampling technique 197 respondents were selected from the first to the third year. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential analyses, with a p-value of 0.05 were conducted.Results: Respondents indicated where they learned about BSE. There were 98.5% respondents who had heard about BSE, and 89.8% of them had good practice of BSE. However, a quarter did not teach BSE to relatives. There were no statistically significant associations noted.Conclusion: Most of the nursing students were aware of BSE and knew how to perform it, although a quarter did not teach BSE to their relatives. Therefore, it may be necessary to sensitise nurses to cultivate the habit of teaching BSE to relatives and women in the community.Contribution: It is crucial to provide nurses with the skills and knowledge required to carry out BSE effectively, as well as teach women how to perform it on themselves, to improve breast cancer detection rates in Nigeria.

“…The high prevalence of hypertension in the elderly group or hereinafter referred to as the elderly is caused because with age, it results in a decrease in the physiological function of the body, so that non-communicable diseases begin to emerge (Dewi, 2018). In addition, there is an increase in blood pressure because the artery walls in the elderly group are thickened so that there is a buildup of collagen in the muscle layer which results in narrowing of blood vessels and becoming stiff (Anggraini et al, 2019).…”
Hypertension is still the most common health problem experienced by the world's population. Hypertension is a condition of a person who has systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg. The high prevalence of hypertension in the elderly group is caused because with age, resulting in a decrease in physiological functions of the body, so that non-communicable diseases begin to appear. Hypertension control behavior is the main thing to prevent complications, such as stroke, coronary heart disease, and kidney failure. This study aims to determine the factors associated with elderly behavior in controlling hypertension. This type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional design. Independent variables are gender, education level, lifestyle. While the dependent variable is the control behavior of hypertension in the elderly. The population of all hypertensive patients recorded in the Banten Girang Health Center work area in 2023. The sample number of 100 people was selected by purposive random sampling. Statistical test using Chi square test with 95% CI and logistic regression test. The results of statistical tests showed that sex and education variables did not have a significant relationship with hypertension control behavior in the elderly (p > 0.05), while lifestyle variables with p = 0.003 OR = 4,902, and family support variables with p = 0.010 OR = 3,778 which means they have a meaningful relationship with hypertension control behavior in the elderly.
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.
