The use of the E-Duva application can facilitate access to information and education for mothers without the need to visit a healthcare facility to learn about the VIA test. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the E-Duva application on the knowledge and attitudes of women of childbearing age (WUS). The study population comprised women of childbearing age (WUS). We employed a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest design using non-probability purposive sampling. The total sample size in this study was 30 respondents, with 15 women in the control group and 15 women in the intervention group. A questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of WUS regarding cervical cancer and the VIA test. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Paired T-test. The study results indicate a significant increase in knowledge in both the experimental group (p = 0.000; mean SD 90.88±6.9) and the control group (p = 0.000; mean SD 78.40±10.1). Attitudes toward early detection of cervical cancer were significantly related (p = 0.015). This suggests that a more positive attitude towards early detection of cervical cancer among WUS is associated with a greater willingness to undergo cervical cancer screening. The findings of this study support the role of the E-Duva application in enhancing the knowledge and attitudes of women of childbearing age regarding VIA tests and cervical cancer, emphasizing the potential of technology-driven health education in improving women's health outcome.","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954598","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}

A questionnaire was distributed to mothers during hospital visits in February-May 2020. Questions were on socio-demographics; knowledge of antibiotic indications/complications; and prescribing practices. A total of 1926 mothers participated. Most mothers were aware that antibiotics are not indicated for viral infections (72.0%), and that abuse leads to complications like antibiotic resistance (82.1%). However, their knowledge regarding antibiotic complications was not satisfactory particularly complications of obesity (11.7%), caries (29.9%), and allergy (43.4%). The most important clinical indications for antibiotics were perceived to be otitis media (89.8%), and sore throat (44.4%). A proportion of 21.7% admitted self-prescribing, significantly among families of ≤2 children, and poor antibiotic knowledge (p<0.01). Lower antibiotic knowledge scores were impacted mostly by grandparents who self-prescribe antibiotics (p<0.01). Jordanian mothers show satisfactory knowledge of pediatric antibiotic consumption, however, their knowledge of complications is not sufficient. Antibiotic self-prescribing is identified mainly in families with lower income and less antibiotic knowledge, therefore these families should be identified and targeted in antibiotic awareness campaigns.","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137690","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}

To examine the link between STH infections and childhood stunting, we conducted a comprehensive review of literature spanning 2012-2023, encompassing 40 selected articles from databases like PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Our analysis revealed a substantial association between STH infections and increased stunting risk in children, estimating a 44.407% rise in stunting risk due to STH infection. Stunting, a consequence of chronic malnutrition, profoundly affects a child's physical and cognitive development, with long-lasting repercussions on their future potential and quality of life. This study has significant implications. It underscores the urgent need for robust public health interventions targeting STH infections, especially in high-prevalence areas like Indonesia. Measures such as mass deworming campaigns, improved sanitation and hygiene practices, and health education can significantly alleviate the burden of STH infections and the resulting stunting. Moreover, the research emphasizes the intricate relationship between infectious diseases and malnutrition, highlighting the necessity for a holistic approach to child health. Addressing STH infections necessitates not only medical intervention but also efforts to enhance overall living conditions and nutritional status. Integrating these approaches into a comprehensive public health strategy can yield more effective and sustainable results in the fight against childhood stunting. In conclusion, this study underscores the paramount importance of addressing STH infections in the context of child growth and underscores the urgency of implementing effective public health interventions. This approach can enable children to reach their full physical and cognitive potential, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being and development of societies.","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135243039","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 occupies a significant position in broader initiatives aimed at enhancing nurse performance. Implementing an unsuitable leadership style, as dictated by leaders to their employees, can adversely affect employee motivation, performance, and job satisfaction. The study aimed to develop a transformational leadership model based on the principle of caring to improve nurse performance. This study employed an explanatory design and involved 115 respondents selected through cluster sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires that had undergone both validity and reliability testing. The study examined variables such as personal factors, organizational factors, staff factors, work factors, transformational and caring leadership, and nurse performance. For data analysis, partial least squares were utilized with a significance threshold set at t&gt;1.96. The research findings indicate that personal factors exert a positive influence on both transformational leadership and caring (t=5.677). Organizational factors also positively impact transformational leadership and caring (t=4.474), and staff factors exhibit a positive influence on these leadership styles as well (t=4.157). However, work factors do not directly impact transformational leadership and caring (t=0.554). Notably, both transformational and caring leadership styles positively affect nurse performance (t=7.755). The development of a transformational leadership model based on caring is influenced by multiple factors, including personal, organizational, and staff factors. Implementing this leadership model can significantly improve nurses' performance, thereby leading to enhancements in the quality of health services provided in hospitals.","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590262","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}

In contemporary times, shift work has emerged as a new challenge for healthcare professionals, affecting their health, wellbeing, and cognitive functions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep and executive function among staff working in the Emergency Department (ED). The research was a cross-sectional study conducted on emergency nurses (EN) from four hospitals in Malang, Indonesia. Sleep quantity parameters, including total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE), were collected based on 7-day sleep diaries. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Executive function was assessed using a Trail Making Test (TMT). Data analysis was carried out using one-sample T-tests and multiple linear regression with a stepwise model. Around 82% of ER have poor sleep quality (PSQI &gt; 5). Other findings WASO, TST, and SE reported a shorter duration compared to the healthcare population, while the duration of SOL was twice as long. the sources of executive function TMT-A, TMT-B, and TMT B-A were longer, and TMT B/A was shorter than the normal population.
