The COVID-19 vaccines can provide a way to prevent the pandemic. Despite the high acceptance rate, Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan (east coast region) remain the lowest vaccination rate in Malaysia. Most of Malaysia's population in the east coast region is Muslim, but there is no study exploring this phenomenon. Objective: This study aims to understand the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Malaysia's Muslim community of the east coast region. Methodology: This study used a qualitative research design study. Six participants from the east coast region of Malaysia were recruited from February until June 2022. The recruitment techniques used purposive sampling methods. In-depth interviews with participants were used on virtual platforms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: Three themes were identified 1) source of information; they believe rumours spread by the anti-vaccine movement or their close family 2) safety issues concern; they are scared of potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, 3) self-belief; they believe self-isolation and proper diet better than vaccine intervention. Conclusion: Although 95.7 per cent of the population is wholly vaccinated, some still do not intend to take any COVID-19 vaccination in Malaysia. This study can provide data and crucial information that will help develop strategies to remove the related hesitancy and improve public uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139353075","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}

However, the utilisation of EHRs has been questioned, particularly among nurses, who are the leading users of EHRs among other healthcare professions. Objective: This study aimed to explore the nurses' understanding of ethical concerns with using EHRs.  Methods: A qualitative descriptive study design was applied in this study. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit ten nurses, which proved sufficient to achieve data saturation. Semi-structured individual via phone interviews and face to face was conducted in August 2021 and audio recorded. A qualitative thematic analysis approach was utilised. Findings: Three overarching themes arose from the analysis: (1) Access to patient information, (2) Disclosure of patient information, (3) Maintaining ethical integrity. Conclusions: The research showed that nurses knew the ethical considerations surrounding patient information access and disclosure. However, concerns were raised about inappropriate access and sharing of personal EHR accounts and passwords. Additionally, the nurses felt that an ethical code alone would not discourage nurses from inappropriately using EHRs. Consequently, it highlights the need to revise the current ethical codes to include measures to maintain health data integrity.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139353411","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}

Specifically, in Emergency and Trauma Department(ETD) where turnover of patients is high in a fast-paced environment with unpredictable events, the tendency of communication failure and errors increased. In ensuring safety and efficient clinical handover practice, demands critical information that needed to be informed when communicate between the shifts or the staff. Therefore, this study mainly to identify the best way of clinical handover that would assist in better communication amongst emergency healthcare providers as well as within different departments. Objective: To examine the current shift handover practices amongst emergency staff at SASMEC@IIUM, identify the resources and supports to enhance clinical handover effectiveness and to determine the barriers and facilitators on the effectiveness of clinical handover. Methodology and Methods: A descriptive, qualitative study was conducted by selecting samples through purposive sampling technique. Nurses, physicians and assistant medical officers were selected in this study. The sample size was determined using the ‘saturation criterion’. Topic guide interview has been selected for the participants to share their opinions, suggestions, and experiences. Open-ended questions have been used to identify the participants’ perspectives towards the current practices of clinical handover in Emergency and Trauma Department of SASMEC. Data were then analysed using thematic analysis and later developed into sub-themes and themes. Findings: Six themes were identified for this study which consist of 1) learning methods of clinical handover, 2) information passed to next shift, 3) information expected to receive, 4) opinions on current handover, 5) handover effectiveness 6) suggestions for improvement. The themes described mostly on the experiences, opinions and suggestions from the healthcare professionals working in the Emergency and Trauma Department of SASMEC. Conclusion: This study found that the healthcare providers in ETD have various backgrounds of learning clinical handover, with some of them have different working experiences since they worked in other hospitals, departments, or settings previously. In addition, they also described their own experiences in handling clinical handover in ETD SASMEC, together with the factors that affect the effectiveness of the clinical handover process. Besides, the findings were also concentrated on the elements that the participants assumed may be beneficial for the improvement of clinical handover overall that could be done in future.

The use of antibiotics in agriculture can contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can spread to humans through contaminated food or water. Educating the public on antibiotic resistance threats is crucial, and this can be achieved through well-informed medical and science students using practical and simple terms. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of antibiotic use among medical and sciences students of International Islamic University Malaysia. Methodology: The study was cross-sectional, and the study instrument was developed through an extensive literature search and validated by medical and science students. A pilot study was conducted to determine reliability, and data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study included 312 respondents, with 154 (49.2%) from the Faculty of Medicine and 159 (50.8%) from the Faculty of Science. The majority of respondents had adequate knowledge related to antibiotics. Age and faculty were associated with knowledge level, while faculty and attendance at training and workshops were associated with practice level. There were no significant associations between demographic variables (such as gender and nationality) and knowledge, attitude, and practice levels among medical and science students, except for faculty of participants. Conclusion: The students demonstrated a good understanding of antibiotic resistance, with medical students showing slightly better knowledge than science students. The study suggests conducting future studies with an interventional design to improve medical students' knowledge and attitudes towards antibiotic use and resistance.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139353591","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}

Ludin, Wan Ling Lee, Mohamed Saufi Awang","doi":"10.31436/ijcs.v6i2.305","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31436/ijcs.v6i2.305","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Severe head injury patients require a specific treatment plan and nursing care to achieve an optimal clinical outcome. Mild head injury patients may need a few days of hospitalisation for close monitoring and conservative medical administrations. However, in severe head injury cases, the patients may require a more extended period of hospitalisation for a series of complex neuro-medical and neurosurgical management. Tracheostomy may be performed on head injury patients with protracted breathing problems. Early tracheostomy (ET) may improve clinical outcomes  late tracheostomy. ET is defined as the tracheostomy done seven days after the initiation of endotracheal intubation. Objective : The objective of this study is to determine the impact of ET on a patient's clinical outcome before being discharged. Methodology: This is a retrospective cohort study involving 45 severe head injury patients with tracheostomy done in two Neuro-Centre hospitals in Klang Valley. The clinical outcome was observed before the participants are discharged including the participant's GCS upon discharge, length of stay (LOS) in the ICU and hospital, the incidence of VAP, duration of mechanical ventilation dependency, and decannulation rate. Findings: There are 45 participants in this study as the sample. Crude analysis performed in this study showed that there is a significant association between tracheostomy classification (early and late) toward participant length of stay in the ICU with a p-value of <0.001, LOS in the hospital (p=0.002), and duration on the mechanical ventilation use (p<0.001) with no association with the GCS upon discharge (p=0.057), the incidence of VAP (p=0.374), and decannulation rate (p=0.081).Potential confounding factors in this study were determined statistically. It was done by comparing the model without an additional factor and the model with an additional factor. Multivariate analysis showed that the association between these variables remained significant for the LOS in the hospital (p=0.035) and duration of mechanical ventilation used (p=0.005). Conclusion: The initiation of ET contributes to a favourable clinical outcome in terms of the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of hospital stay for patients with a severe head injury. However, the association between tracheostomy categorisation and ICU LOS, incidence of pneumonia, decannulation rate, and GCS at discharge was not statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139353518","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}

The COVID-19 epidemic has created new obstacles for employees in terms of change adaptation and job security, as well as a significant impact on employee well-being and satisfaction, especially for women. Since 2005, female enrolment in academia has continued to grow, and in many countries, females make up more than fifty per cent of the total enrolment in higher education. However, women remain underrepresented in top academic positions globally. This systematic review aimed to look for available articles related to the job satisfaction and perception of female academics before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PRISMA flow diagram was used to search the literature systematically, and the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria were established prior to the search. The CASP and MMAT were used to conduct the quality assessment. There are six themes emerged from 26 articles in this review and those are an overview of job satisfaction, factors that contribute to job satisfaction, gender gaps related to job satisfaction, academics perception, the mental health of academicians, and the relationship between work from home and job satisfaction. This study recommended for the faculty and university have a serial discussion about maintaining and increasing female academics’ job satisfaction. Therefore, surveys for academicians were vital to learn about their current circumstances, whether in teaching and learning or their psycho-social well-being. Although the university already provides the guidelines for online teaching, it was advisable to review the efficacy of the teaching modalities and infrastructure for the academicians.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126313562","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}
