The provision of spiritual care to the patients and their family members is important but challenging to be accomplished during this time. This article attempts to provide a view of an intensive care nurse’s experience of spiritual care during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: Interview was conducted with a nurse who worked in an intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary government hospital in Malaysia. It is a part of a larger qualitative study investigating the perceptions of ICU clinicians in providing spiritual care in the ICU. A thematic analysis was utilized in identifying emergent themes that would be significant in context of intensive care COVID-19 management. Results: There were two emergent themes that were identified from the nurse’s reflection – Keeping faith, and Blessed outcomes.Conclusion: This reflective account of a nurse providing spiritual care in the ICU may give insights for a better COVID-19 management. Further research is needed to explore the use of reflective practice in the spiritual care education and training. Further studies should also include the experience of the patients, the families as well as the professionals in the ICU to develop a concise model of spirituality and spiritual care in the ICU context, particularly during the pandemic of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131381606","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}

Moreover, with the COVID-19 pandemic that just happened in 2020, modification of lifestyle during the lockdown leads to psychological distress and stress especially among undergraduate nursing students. Objectives: This study aims to assess the perceived stress and coping mechanism among nursing students in clinical practice during COVID-19 pandemic.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students from IIUM Kuantan using online surveys. Data was interpreted in descriptive and inferential analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: Among 128 participants, the students perceived high stress levels (M = 2.06, SD = 0.66). The most common types of stressors are stress from assignments and workload (M = 2.72, SD = 0.82). Meanwhile, the most common type of coping mechanism applied by nursing students is transference (M = 2.57, SD = 0.75), while the least frequently applied by the students is avoidance (M = 1.65, SD = 0.77). The association between demographic profile such as hours of sleep and the worry of being infected with COVID-19 were significant with perceived stress levels, while being quarantined due to suspected infection or infected by COVID-19 and hours of sleep were statistically significant with coping mechanism. Furthermore, there was a positive significant association between total perceived stress and coping mechanism using the Spearman correlation. Conclusion: This study may help in planning to overcome the high stress problems among nursing students through nursing education, nursing practice and nursing research.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133432004","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 victims of this issue are higher among primary school children. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be performed for drowning victims who showed an absence of breathing and pulse to regain their consciousness and their life. Furthermore, providing the knowledge and practice of CPR should not only be limited to adults but also the children including at the primary level. Objectives: This study aimed to identify knowledge and the practice of CPR for drowning victims before and after the intervention given. Methods: A pre-post interventional study design with a purposive sampling method was conducted at the primary school. The studied participants were primary school children who live near the coastal areas. Developed self-administered questionnaires and CPR educational videos were used in this study to identify the knowledge and practice of the studied participants. The data were analysed by using IBM SPSS statistics version 25.0. Results: The studied participant's ages were 10 and 11 years old. They were capable of comprehending the information delivered to them. Both knowledge and practice of CPR for drowning victims were increased after the educational video intervention was given to them. Conclusion: The findings showed that although they lacked knowledge and practice of CPR for drowning victims before the intervention, they were able to show improvements in their total score for both parts after the intervention. Educating the children as early as 10 years old regarding CPR for drowning victims was capable to be carried out in the local setting. Hence, the implementation of CPR courses in the curriculum of school children starting from the primary level may happen in the future.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116402625","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}

Results: Majority of the participants (98.0%) have high knowledge regarding the knowledge on risk factors, signs and symptoms of breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). The result also showed that 31.0% participants never performed BSE. Most of them reported that the reasons that they do not perform BSE are due to lack of knowledge (35.1%), forgetfulness (33.9%) and negligence (21.6%). Around 36.3% participants reported that they do not know the technique that use to perform BSE.Conclusion: Participants having high knowledge on breast cancer and BSE; however, the practice of BSE is still lacking. Therefore, BSE need to be more educate and promote its practice among young women for early detection of breast cancer and its prevention.","PeriodicalId":234583,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114272992","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}
