Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an intervention that has shown beneficial effects in many mental and physical disorders.Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of MBSR on RLS in hemodialysis patients.Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial involving 60 hemodialysis patients with RLS recruited by convenience sampling each group. Inclusion criteria were patients with RLS diagnosis, age 18-65, Hb>10, no cognitive disorders, ability to read and write, no vision or hearing problems, and history of hemodialysis ≥6 months. The intervention group received eight sessions of the MBSR program, and the control group received routine care in a government dialysis center. International Restless Legs Syndrome Scale and Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Scale were used to measure RLS. Statistical analyses were conducted using independent and pair t-test and ANCOVA.Results: Significant difference was found in the severity the RLS (Mean(SD) score) between the intervention group (12.90(4.58)) and the control group (22.27(4.19)) (95% CI:-11.66 to -7.08, p<0.0001). The effect size between groups was obtained based on Cohen’s d of 2.13.Conclusion: MBSR showed a significant reduction in the severity of RLS in hemodialysis patients. This preliminary study suggests that MBSR can be a promising treatment option in the management of RLS patients.","PeriodicalId":36409,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Media Journal of Nursing","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88855256","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}

Hence, HIV advocates and care providers must innovate to ensure the health and welfare of people living with HIV (PLHIVs) and other at-risk populations. There is a lack of empirical research that explores the experiences and perspectives of HIV volunteers in adapting to pandemic-related challenges.Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to describe the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in the provision of HIV services of Filipino volunteers during the pandemic. Methods: Qualitative descriptive study design was used, focusing on ICT use for HIV care. Sixteen (16) purposively selected volunteers from three community-based organizations (CBO) were interviewed using a semi-structured guide via videoconference. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used to draw insights from the data.Results: Findings revealed that volunteers used various ICTs such as social media, videoconferencing, dating sites, and online-based courier services to ensure continuity of HIV services. However, volunteers noted challenges in using ICT for HIV services, such as limited access to digital resources, increased work demands, and lack of human connection.Conclusion: Various tools and implementations of ICTs have been used by volunteers to ensure the continuity of services of PLHIVs.

However, very few studies integrate the use of drawing as a qualitative method in HIV research.Purpose: This study aims to explore the experience of stigma among persons living with HIV using the drawing method.Methods: The study utilized a participative qualitative approach. There were eleven (11) participants who were recruited through snowballing and were asked to draw their experience of stigma as a Person Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). The participants were men who-have-sex with men (MSM) who have been diagnosed for at least one year, and are active members of a support group. This preliminary study was conducted in Central Philippines from November-December 2019. The narrative explanations were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.Findings: Results revealed three themes: (1) Psycho-socio-emotional needs which illuminated their need for love and acceptance; (2) Profound feelings which reflected a plethora of negative towards positive convergence of emotions, and (3) Coping with HIV stigma which presented the three-pronged anchor to move forward and sustain a hopeful living.Conclusion: A stigmatized PLHIV needs intimacy, interconnectedness, and inclusiveness in society. Likewise, they feel a plethora of feelings that transcend negative to positive emotions depending on their coping. A PLHIV copes with stigma and discrimination through the aid of their social circle, spirituality, and self-love. Future researchers may consider the use of participative drawing to explore HIV stigma apart from the conventional interview, as it is found to be a valuable method of facilitating the expression of emotions and experiences.","PeriodicalId":36409,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Media Journal of Nursing","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84867801","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}

Breathing exercises are considered effective in overcoming POH after CABG. However, this intervention has not been implemented using the dynamic nurse-patient relationship model from Ida Jean Orlando. The dynamic nurse-patient relationship model is expected to improve the quality of nursing care after cardiac surgery.Purpose: This study aimed to describe the application of breathing exercises in postoperative hypoxia after CABG using the dynamic nurse-patient relationship model.Methods: This study was the summary of the case presentation along with the interventions on three patients after CABG through the dynamic nurse-patient relationship model approach with the main intervention focusing on breathing exercises.Results: After three days of implementing the intervention, most patients showed improvement in POH. This condition was evidenced by an increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio from less than 200 to above 200, with an average increase of 89.3. The blood gas analysis results supported the results from a respiratory alkalosis condition to a normal PH and a PaCO2 value from <35 mmHg to the normal range (35-45 mmHg). Also, X-rays of the patients showed pulmonary atelectasis improvement.Conclusion:Applying breathing exercises in postoperative hypoxia after CABG using the dynamic nurse-patient relationship model can improve POH in post-cardiac surgery patients. We recommend using the model theory approach because this theory can see patients’ psychological and physical changes dynamically in post-CABG patients.

However, there is a lack of adequate information about nurses’ engagement in healthcare organizations that are affected by various factors in the context of Health Psychology.Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the association between leadership styles of supervisors and work engagement, and elucidating the role of organizational support in this relationship.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 85 nurses from the health organizations in Catalonia, Spain, recruited via a snowball procedure. Leadership styles and Three Outcome Scales (TOS) were evaluated through the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) as independent variables. POS as an Organizational Support Test assessed a mediating variable (POS), and work engagement as a dependent variable was evaluated by the Utrecht Job Involvement Scale (UWES).Results: The results displayed differences in work engagement depending on job positions. Besides, the results revealed a positive association between leadership styles and TOS with work engagement, other than laissez-faire. Additionally, POS illustrated a positive association with work engagement (r=0.447, p<0.01). Leadership styles except for laissez-faire and TOS positively affect POS; also, TOS significantly predicted work engagement (β=0.581, t(78)=2.196, p<.05). Furthermore, results confirmed that POS mediates the relationship between leadership styles and TOS with work engagement (z=-3.490; z=3.117; z=3.521; z=3.791, p=0.000).Conclusion: Transformational and transactional leadership are two main styles significantly affecting nurses’ engagement with their work, while laissez-faire decreases nurses’ work engagement; therefore, supervisors and leaders of healthcare organizations should consider it. Consequently, nurses with a high POS show superior engagement levels at work. The research sheds new light on health psychology and the clinical area, particularly in nurses’ work engagement.","PeriodicalId":36409,"journal":{"name":"Nurse Media Journal of Nursing","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72961511","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}
