This study aimed to compare the knowledge and compliance regarding SP among diploma and degree nursing students at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Methods: A cross-sectional study has been conducted among 134 nursing students using self-administered questionnaires. Respondents were recruited using a simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 24 using descriptive and Spearman’s Rank-Order test. Results: The study showed that diploma and degree nursing students had good knowledge regarding SP (mean of 14.7±2.5 and 15.4 ± 2.4) and a high compliance level of SP (mean of 3.6 ± 0.3 and 3.7 ± 0.2 respectively). Washes hand immediately after contacting any blood, body fluid, secretion, excretion, and dirty substances has the highest degree of compliance among diploma nursing students, while washes hands when comes in different contact with different patients has the highest degree of compliance among bachelor degree nursing. Wear protective eye patch or google when performing operations/procedures that might induce spraying of blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions was the lowest degree of compliance among both bachelor degree and diploma nursing students. There was no significant correlation between the level of knowledge and compliance with SP (p= 0.23) but there is a significant correlation between the duration of practical training and compliance with SP (p=0.02). Conclusion: Nursing students in USM had good knowledge and high compliance regarding SP. Knowledge did not influence compliance with SP but duration of practical training session did influence compliance with SP.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122648360","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 were to examine shift handover practices between the nurses and between shifts, to identify supports to enhance handover effectiveness and to identify barriers of effective handover. Background: Handover practices is a routine activity, and ineffective handover practise constitutes a risk to patient safety. Evidence suggests that handover effectiveness is influenced by factors such as through standardised handover practice. Design: A descriptive qualitative study using content analysis. Methods: The study involved a series of individual interviews among a sample of nurses recruited from 6 medical wards in the largest hospital in Brunei. A total of 13 nurses took part in the interview. Data were analysed with qualitative content analysis method. Results: The analysis revealed three broad themes, namely \"multiple handover style\", \"use of handover tool\" and \"handover distractions\". The first theme indicates that there are several handover styles used in the medical wards, which may be related to the cultural and organisational factors. The second theme illustrates the use of a tool in handover practices, and the final themes describe perceived shift handover distractions which could potentially influence the effectiveness of the handover practices. Conclusion: The evidence in the current study suggests that several aspects of the multiple shift handover practices of nurses are not always consistent with best-practice evidence. The results show that nurses need to communicate accurate and concise information, which can be easily understood by both the giver and the recipient to ensure the quality and safety of patient care.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127744515","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 objectives of the study were to explore the perception of male nurses in Brunei about the nursing profession, to examine motivation to become nurses and to explore the challenges that they have encountered in the profession. Background: More men are now choosing the profession, given the growth of health care needs. Evidence suggests that there are obstacles and barriers to men's career choices of being nurses. Design: A descriptive qualitative study using content analysis. Methods: A descriptive, qualitative approach was used to gain valuable insight into male nurses' views on nursing as a career. Using purposive sampling, a total of 11 male nurses from two state hospitals in Brunei were individually interviewed. Participants were interviewed for between 45-60 minutes and were audio-recorded with prior consent. Recorded interviews were transcribed, coded manually and subsequently thematically analysed. Results: The analysis revealed three broad themes, namely 'making the career choice', 'working as male nurses' and 'being in the profession'. The first theme indicates the nurses' initial perception of the profession. The second one describes the nurses' experiences once they enter the profession. The final theme illustrates how nurses perceived the challenges of being in the profession. Conclusion: The evidence in the current study suggests although men's entry into nursing is slow and gender disparity continues to affect the profession, the results in this study indicate that, for male nurses, the motivational factors outnumber the barriers to entry. Overall, male nurses reported being positive with their career choice.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129162979","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}

Nursing teams must be effective in order to reduce medical errors and deliver the best safe care to patients. For that reason, members must possess skills that are relevant and imperative to team functioning. This article aims to examine the association between team skills and team performance. Team performance is categorized into two dimensions; team task performance and team contextual performance. Methods: This study was done on selected nursing teams in Peninsular Malaysia. Data was collected from 1436 individual nurses and responses were aggregated to 300 teams from seven major specialist public hospitals in Peninsular Malaysia. Analysis was done via structural equation modeling using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Results: Results indicated that team skills positively relate to both dimensions of team performance.

Findings flow with the typical difficulties of a stroke patient, the effects of a stroke on the musculoskeletal system, caring for musculoskeletal problem and pain, good musculoskeletal care for patients with stroke and caring for the musculoskeletal problem through active rehabilitation. Conclusion: This paper highlights that stroke patients with the musculoskeletal problem have restricted day-to-day movement functions and needed interdisciplinary care approaches from nursing, physical and occupational therapies, and other health care professionals.

This study also found that there was a strong negative correlation between loneliness and cognitive impairment (r = -0.78, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of cognitive impairment is considered high among older people living in old folk homes.
