{"title":"The Preterm Birth Rate in a Resource-Stricken Rural Area of the Limpopo Province, South Africa","authors":"T. Malwela, M. Maputle","doi":"10.2147/nrr.s338161","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/nrr.s338161","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Midwives play a pivotal role in providing primary prevention of preterm birth. Midwives screen and diagnose pre-existing medical conditions, manage all conditions as guided by their scope of practice and refer all cases to other relevant team members. Purpose: The study aimed to determine and describe factors contributing to the escalating preterm birth rate in Limpopo, South Africa. Methods: Descriptive survey was used to determine factors related to increased preterm births. The non-probability purposive sampling selected 55 midwives, and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 23. Results: Health facilities in Limpopo province had constrained resources as evidenced by a shortage of midwives, a lack of medical supply, poorly maintained, and old infrastructure. The skills of midwives and their working environment were affected by this constrained resource. The results from midwives that were perceived to affect them were 66% of participants reported lack of equipment, 29.1% participants agreed that pregnant women were presenting after 12 weeks to initiate antenatal care, while 45.3% pointed out they used steroids to prevent preterm labor. Record-keeping was viewed as an essential aspect to manage PTB when providing care. Despite the constrained resources, midwives were providing care to prevent PTB. This was evidenced by 78.2% agreeing that keep records from the first booking until the last antenatal visit, while 96.2% monitored the fetal heart rate, 98.1% screened for infections, and 90.9% referred all women at risk to the doctor. Thus, most of the midwives were competent with a confidence interval of (95%) and a prevalence of 9% and 9.5% that, is 9/10, which could prevent PTB. Conclusion: Lack of resources, including staffing and specialized care, contributed to escalating PTB at health facilities in Limpopo province.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82467638","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}

{"title":"The Experience of Relatives of Nursing Home Residents with COVID-19: A Qualitative Study","authors":"Signe Tretteteig, Siren Eriksen, Adelheid Hummelvold Hillestad, S. Julnes, Bjørn Lichtwarck, Anita Nilsen, A. Rokstad","doi":"10.2147/nrr.s328336","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/nrr.s328336","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had significant consequences for relatives’ opportunities to communicate with and offer care to seriously ill and dying nursing home residents with COVID-19. Residents in nursing homes were urged to protect themselves through social distancing, and visits have been permanently regulated and limited. These restrictions have been challenging, and the limitations have raised many questions and led to difficult choices. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. We investigated the following two research questions: How did relatives of COVID-19 patients in Norwegian nursing homes experience the situation and how did the physical distancing and precepts of infection control affect the relationship between the long-term residents and the relatives?. Methods: The study has a qualitative explorative design with a phenomenological-herme-neutic approach, with individual in-depth interviews used for data collection. The study included ten relatives of nursing home residents with COVID-19. Results: Three main perspectives were identified from the participants’ experiences: (1) the difficult choices; (2) maintaining the relationship; and (3) experiencing support. The relatives experienced ethical dilemmas when weighing the risk of getting COVID-19 if they visited the patient versus the consequences of not visiting their loved one. In this situation, they needed good information and support from health care professionals. Conclusion: To enable relatives of COVID-19 patients to make choices in line with their goals and intrinsic motivations, it is important that staff members possess competence in infection control, updated knowledge about the residents’ situations, and the skills to facilitate a safe and confident dialogue. Trust in the care staff and a feeling of safety are essential for relatives in a stressful situation with difficult choices, while a lack of confidence, routines, and/or dialogue might increase relatives’ feelings of insecurity and stress and make their caring role difficult.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86397608","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}

Assessing Saudi nurses’ professional quality of life (ProQOL) is crucial for their future nursing careers and the future of Saudi health care. Aim: To investigate the level of ProQOL among nurses in Saudi Arabia and its association with personal and professional sociodemographic variables. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 334 Saudi nurses working in three hospitals and multiple primary health centers. Descriptive analysis, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to determine the significant association between sample sociodemographic variables and levels of ProQOL. Results: A significant difference between compassion satisfaction (CS) and nurses’ age (p-value = 0.008) and years of experience (p-value = 0.012) was confirmed. The job location (p-value <0.001), nurses’ department (p-value = 0.003), and age (p-value = 0.012) revealed a significant difference with burnout (BO). Secondary traumatic stress (STS) showed a significant difference with the job location (p-value <0.001) and nurses’ department (p-value = 0.008). Overall, Saudi nurses exhibit high levels of CS and moderate levels of BO and STS. Conclusion: The level of CS was considered good for Saudi nursing professionals; however, the levels of BO and STS require further attention. Enhancing factors related to CS and solving issues related to compassion fatigue (CF) would improve the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79711310","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 purpose of this study was to explore fears of Mzuzu University’s nursing students nurses regarding resumption of clinical practice amidst the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: The study used a qualitative approach employing a descriptive phenomenological design. Mzuzu University Research Ethics Committee (MZUNIREC) approved the study and issued MZUNIREC/DOR/20/06 as approval number. An independent person collected data through four focus group discussions with a purposefully selected sample of 40 consented nursing students who had completed clinical practice during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data analysis was done manually using content analysis. The analysis started with transcription of the interviews. Following this, data were coded and categorized into themes and subthemes were established from participants’ significant statements. Results: Four major themes about the fears amongst the student nurses emerged. These were as follows: equipment and supplies; increased perceived risk for acquiring and transmitting COVID-19; stigma and discrimination and perceived fear of not having adequate learning. Conclusion: Clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic brings fear among nursing students and requires that implementers of nursing and midwifery programs prioritize ascertaining student’s skill, emotional wellbeing and provision of adequate resources before deploying them to clinical areas.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73349286","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}

{"title":"Can Breast Cancer Survivors Benefit from Speed of Processing Training? A Perspective Article on Treatment and Research","authors":"K. Triebel, Joseph Anderson, Sai Rashmi Nakkina, D. Vance","doi":"10.2147/NRR.S312214","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/NRR.S312214","url":null,"abstract":": For breast cancer survivors (BCS), issues related to quality of life after treatment have become increasingly important. Up to 75% of individuals receiving chemotherapy experience cognitive impairment and for many BCS, these impairments persist for a long time after treatment. In addition to these cognitive impairments, research suggests a higher rate of depression, anxiety, and distress in cancer survivors. The impact of these cognitive and emotional deficits impairs daily functioning, occupational performance, increases relationship stress and caregiver burden, contributes to poor emotional processing, and reduces quality of life. Fortunately, there are cognitive interventions that can improve targeted cognitive abilities along with general cognitive processes. Speed of processing (SOP) training, a type of cognitive remediation therapy, has been shown to improve cognitive performance on measures of visual attention, SOP, and timed-task performances. Furthermore, SOP has been shown to enhance neuromodulatory systems that improve mood, especially depression and other indicators of quality of life. Studies support the need for deeper investigation into the short-term and long-term benefits of SOP training as a behavioral adjunct for BCS.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90543435","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}
