Various factors related to the quality of life of heart failure patients include occupation and ejection fraction. The number of heart failure patients treated at Aceh government hospital is still high in 2021, as well as the incidence of recurrent hospitalization. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between occupation, ejection fraction, and heart failure patients' quality of life. Methods: The study used a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 154 heart failure patients who visited the Cardiac Polyclinic of a provincial hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Data on patient occupation, ejection fraction, and comorbidity factors were obtained from the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the respondents. Then, the patient’s quality of life was measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) questionnaire. The chi-square test and logistic regression (with a significance level α = 0.05) were used in data analysis in this study. Results: The results of the study found a significant direct correlation between patient occupation (P = 0.001), ejection fraction (P = 0,001), and an inverse correlation of comorbidity factors (P = 0.001) with quality of life (α = 0.05). The multivariate analysis using logistic regression found that the dominant factor, ejection fraction, was associated with the quality of life of heart failure patients with OR: 12.033, followed by comorbidity factors (OR: 3.565) and occupation (OR: 1.819). Conclusions: The quality of life of heart failure patients is strongly associated with the ejection fraction in heart failure patients; therefore, maintaining the ejection fraction is needed to improve the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":18693,"journal":{"name":"Modern Care Journal","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79251148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the stressors in parents of premature neonates hospitalized at the NICU in Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb Hospital of Rafsanjan, Kerman, Iran, within November 2020 to September 2021. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the NICU of Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb Hospital of Rafsanjan. A total of 204 parents with premature neonates admitted to the NICU were selected by the convenience sampling method.

Results: The most stressful item was in the “sights and sounds” domain belonging to “sudden alarm noises” for both parents, and “needles and tubes put in” in the “neonate’s behavior” domain. The major causes of stress in “parental role alterations” subscales were relevant to “feeling helpless about how to help neonate” and “being separated from neonate” in fathers and mothers, respectively. The comparison of parental stress scores in the total scale for mothers and fathers showed that mothers had higher stress scores in “sights and sounds” and “neonate’s behavior” domains; however, fathers’ scores were higher in “parental role alterations” without any significant differences (P > 0.05).

The risk of transmission is higher in intensive care units (ICUs). Objectives: This study aimed to identify the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection status and compliance with isolation precautions among doctors and nurses working in ICUs during the pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2021 in three different status hospitals (i.e., Education and Research Hospital, University Research Hospital, and City Hospital) in two cities in eastern Turkey. The sample size was calculated at 205 individuals who were selected using the sampling method with a known population. Participants were included in the sample using the convenience sampling method. The data were collected through the sociodemographic form and compliance with isolation precautions scale (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85, explained variance ratio = 50.50%, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.872, Bartlett’s test: P < 0.05). The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 18) using descriptive and inference statistics. Results: The participants’ average age was 29.95 ± 7.16 years. Moreover, 66.3% of the participants were females, and 77.6% were nurses. The doctors and nurses displayed good compliance with isolation precautions (77.6% [n = 159] and 22.4% [n = 46] of the participants were nurses and doctors, respectively). Furthermore, 40% of the ICU healthcare professionals had a SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosis, and a significant relationship was observed between having this diagnosis and the diagnosis of other individuals who were sharing the same house (P < 0.001). In addition, statistically significant relationships were observed between having a SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosis and the duration of working with SARS-CoV-2 patients, hand hygiene and related attitudes, removing masks in common areas, implementing procedures producing aerosols, and inadequacies in the use of protective equipment during close contact with SARS-CoV-2 patients (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers was not related to the interventions they made in the hospital. Healthcare workers should pay attention to domestic contamination.","PeriodicalId":18693,"journal":{"name":"Modern Care Journal","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86957376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 has been studied in different populations, psychosocial factors (such as solution-focused thinking (SFT) and hope) have not been previously studied in midwifery students. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the SFT and hope levels of midwifery students after distance education applied due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2020 in the Midwifery Department of the Health Sciences Faculty of Ondokuz Mayıs University, Turkey. The research data were collected using a student identification form (SIF), Solution-focused Inventory (SFI), and Dispositional Hope Scale (DHS). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The compliance of the variables to normal distribution was evaluated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Mean, SD, number and percentage values, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation were used in the analysis of the data. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The average age of students was 20.78 ± 1.97 years. The SFI total score mean was 49.63 ± 5.72, and the mean scores of the subdimension of problem disengagement, goal orientation, and resource activation were 12.97 ± 3.55, 17.68 ± 3.17, and 18.97 ± 3.25, respectively. The mean total score for DHS was 48.53 ± 7.18, and the mean scores of the alternative ways thought and acting thinking subdimensions were 24.75 ± 3.86 and 23.78 ± 3.99, respectively. A high level of positive correlation was found between SFI and DHS (r = 0.432; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Students who have higher SFT have higher levels of hope. For this reason, as future health professionals, an SFT approach that allows midwifery students to cope with mental disorders to serve in extraordinary situations should be added to educational curricula (such as the solution-focused midwifery course).","PeriodicalId":18693,"journal":{"name":"Modern Care Journal","volume":"74 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74361118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty intensive care nurses sorted the 24 statements into a 9-column Q-sort diagram ranging from -4 as not important to +4 as very important. The data were analyzed with PQMethod 2.35 software. The centroid factor analysis and varimax rotation were used for data analysis. The corresponding people for each extraction factor in the Q methodology were grouped and classified, and distinguishing statements were determined. Results: Four viewpoints were determined that could explain the 52.95% variance in the barriers to nurse-physician collaboration. The factors were named as different professional interests and lack of trust between nurses and physicians (26.77% of variance), goal confusion (10.74% of variance), systemic barriers to collaboration (8.17% of variance), and personal differences (7.25% of variance). Conclusions: Nurses had different viewpoints about barriers to nurse-physician collaboration. Different strategies and solutions are needed to improve collaboration, such as education, defining common goals, enhancing collaborative culture, and reaching mutual respect and understanding.

Moreover, having a child with autism can be an overwhelming experience for some families. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of neglect and alexithymia in parents with or without an autistic child on the maladjustment level of their healthy children. Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, two groups of families with (n = 16) and without (n = 16) an autistic child in the cities of Zahedan and Birjand were selected by the convenience sampling method.

Results: Significant results were obtained for specific and joint relationships between parental alexithymia and neglect and maladjustment of their healthy children (P = 0.041). However, the results obtained for the effect of the presence or absence of an autistic child in the family as a moderating variable were not significant (P = 0.556). Parental alexithymia had a significant positive correlation (R = 0.565, P = 0.001), and parental neglect had a significant negative correlation (R = -0.393, P = 0.029) with maladjustment of healthy children in the family. Conclusions: Neglect and alexithymia in parents specifically and jointly correlate significantly with their healthy child's maladjustment. However, the presence or absence of an autistic child in the family has no significant effect on this relationship.
