Nursing students are the future nurses who may eventually find them dealing with individuals with HIV/AIDS. Additionally, receiving a comprehensive education on HIV/AIDS and related issues assists nurses accomplish nursing care appropriately. The purpose of this study was to discover the extent of knowledge of HIV/AIDS among Turkish undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A pre-tested-structured questionnaire, which included the demographic information, knowledge of HIV/AIDS were utilized in this descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 808 nursing students from two universities were included in this study. IBM SPSS version 22.0 statistical software with 95% interval of significance was applied for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, student t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation were applied during data analysis. Results: Nursing students displayed a fairly decent degree of knowledge in the aspects of nature and causes, diagnosis and treatment, and prevention of HIV/AIDS. As the educational year increased the students showed decent knowledge (P<0.05). Gender and age difference weren’t associated with knowledge of the students (P>0.05). Higher level students showed increased knowledge and understanding in the study when it comes to HIV/AIDS prevention and misconceptions. Conclusion: It was determined that students in this study scored good knowledge of HIV/AIDS prevention. However, there was also a need of improvement in respect of pathophysiology and the transmission ways of the disease. Training strategies such as group or panel discussions are suggested to assist students improve their knowledge about HIV/ADIS.","PeriodicalId":264619,"journal":{"name":"Nursing &amp; Healthcare International Journal","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121430921","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}

Methodology: The universe of the research consists of 140 nurses working in the pandemic service and intensive care units of a city hospital. No sample calculation was made in the study, and all nurses who agreed to participate in the study were included in the sample. Number of nurses participating in the present study was 121 and the participation rate in the study was 86.42%. The data were collected between 01-31 May 2020 and the study was completed between 3 May and 30 July 2020. The data were collected from the participants using a personal information form, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Perceived Stress Scale. Results: When the burnout score averages of the nurses were evaluated in the study, emotional high levels of exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievement and nurses experienced severe emotional exhaustion. The mean score of the perceived stress scale of the nurses participating in the study was 32.96±4.76. In this study, a positive and moderately significant relationship was found between perceived stress and burnout level. Conclusions: It was found as a result of the present study that nurses perceived stress and burnout levels were also high in the Covid-19 pandemic. It is important to measure the stress and burnout among nurses because their well-being has effects on the stability of the health work force and the quality of care provided.","PeriodicalId":264619,"journal":{"name":"Nursing &amp; Healthcare International Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132832809","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, not much is known about the association between nursing workload and satisfaction of nurses with their workload. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the association of the objective, time and activity-based nursing workload and the perceived nursing workload with the satisfaction of nurses about their workload on the Intensive Care. Methods: We measured the objective nursing workload with the Nursing Activities Score and the perceived nursing workload measured with the NASA-TLX during 226 shifts in eight different Intensive Cares Units (ICUs). Nurses were asked to rate their satisfaction about the nursing workload during that shift on a scale from 0 (not satisfied at all) till 10 (maximum satisfaction). We used logistic regression models to analyze the association between both the Nursing Activities Score and the NASA-TLX with workload satisfaction (satisfied (>=6) or not (<6)) of nurses about the workload. Results: In our study we showed that a Nursing Activities Score between 73.9 - < 83.7 points per nurse leads to a significant higher chance of a nurse being satisfied about his/her nursing workload (OR = 2.92 (1.01 – 8.45)). An increase of the overall workload with a NASA-TLX score of  27 is leading to a significant higher chance of a nurse being satisfied about the nursing workload (NASA-TLX 27 - <32: OR(CI)=3.26 (1.23 – 8.64); NASA-TLX  32: OR(CI) = 3.04 (1.11-7.98). Analyzing the subcategories of the NASA-TLX showed a significant higher chance of a nurse being satisfied about the workload in case of a high demand in the subcategories ‘mental demand’, ‘physical demand’ and ‘effort’. Conclusion: Our study showed that nurses are most satisfied on their workload when the Nursing Activity Score is around 80, and when the perceived overall workload as measured with the NASA-TLX is high (above 27). Especially a perceived high mental demand, physical demand or effort contributes to a higher chance of the nurse being satisfied. A further increase of the objective or perceived nursing workload to a very high demand or a low objective or perceived nursing workload diminish these positive associations. Managers responsible for capacity planning should take these results into consideration to avoid burn-out and bore- out of ICU nurses.","PeriodicalId":264619,"journal":{"name":"Nursing &amp; Healthcare International Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128904357","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 amygdala, an almond-shaped group of nuclei located in the limbic system, deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain, is the boss when it comes to processing and storing memories of various emotions. In fact, the amygdala experiences emotions even before the conscious brain does. Repetitive triggering of the stress response makes the amygdala more reactive to apparent threats, which stimulates the stress response, thereby further triggering the amygdala, on and on and on in a vicious cycle. The amygdala serves to help form “implicit memories,” traces of past experiences that lie benea","PeriodicalId":264619,"journal":{"name":"Nursing &amp; Healthcare International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128514211","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}

It usually appears under 12-month after birth and about 10-20% infants have suffered it. The parents of infants with IC suffered from physical and mental anxiety and stressful family relationship. Objective: To examine the effects of an Infantile Colic Health Education Program (ICHEP) on parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral management with IC. Design: Two-group randomised controlled trail. Settings and Participants: A total of 140 infants from birth to 12-month of age that diagnosed with IC were recruited from a hospital in South Taiwan. Methods: The participants were randomly assigned to either attend the ICHEP (n=70) or the control group (n=70). The questionnaires included the knowledge, attitudes, behavioral management on infantile colic for parents, and the Cronbach’s α value was between 0.58 and 0.63. Pre-post-test, follow-up test and the re-tracing test were conducted. An independent t-test and the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model were used to compare the differences in the study outcomes. The statistical tests were two-sided and a p-value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: No difference was detected in the baseline characteristics between two-groups. The ICHEP group scores on knowledge, attitudes and behavioural management in the post-test were significantly higher than the pre-test. The average score of ICHEP in re-tracing test (p ＜ 0.001) was significantly higher than the scores of the pre-test (p = 0.08), the post-test (p = 0.001), and follow-up test (p = 0.32). Result was evident that the ICHEP significantly improved parent’ implementation of caring behaviour on IC and reduced the incidence of IC. Conclusions: The ICHEP can not only improve the parent’ knowledge, attitudes and management behaviour on IC but also significantly reduce the incidence of infants with IC. ICHEP can be used as a reference for healthcare workers to immediately provide to parents in the early stages of diagnosis at outpatient clinics in the future. We recommend that ICHEP can include into healthcare workers continues training courses in order to assist in understanding IC, help reduce anxiety and fear of parents, thereby enhancing a harmonious parent-child relationship.","PeriodicalId":264619,"journal":{"name":"Nursing &amp; Healthcare International Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116766364","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}
