This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anaemia in hospitalized children and identify its associated risk factors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January to December 2021 on 792 patients aged 6 months to less than 12 years old with acute illnesses, who were admitted to the general paediatric ward in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. We analysed socioeconomic and demographic data, and risk factors associated with anaemia. Result: The overall prevalence of anaemia among children aged 6 months to less than 12 years old was 16.4%. The age group of 6 to 59 months has a significant association with anaemia with 3.73 odds compared to the age group of 5 to 11 years (Adj OR 3.73, 95% CI 2.53-5.49). Birth weight of more than 2.5kg has a significant association with anaemia with 1.80 odds compared to weight less than 2.5kg (Adj OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.12-2.88). Conclusion: The prevalence of anaemia in the studied population was considered as a mild public health problem according to WHO severity classification. Children aged 6 to 59 months and those with birth weight more than or equivalent to 2.5kg were more likely to be anaemic. Early iron supplementation should be taken into consideration to reduce anaemia in this population.","PeriodicalId":506570,"journal":{"name":"November 2023","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139278876","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 may differ by population, but limited studies have been done in Malaysia. This study was conducted to measure the prevalence of poor sleep quality among academic staff at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Kampar Campus. Methods: In total, 344 randomly selected academic staff were approached to answer the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Results: Unexpectedly, 42.7 % of them were affected by poor sleep quality (global PSQI score >5). The average actual sleep duration was recorded at 6.68 hours. Age and global PSQI scores were not significantly correlated. Female staff had poorer subjective sleep quality (P= 0.027). The elder age group (P= 0.012) and associate professors and professors (P= 0.006) consumed more sleep medications. Non-Ph.D. holders had poorer subjective sleep quality (P= 0.008) and sleep latency (P= 0.032) as well as global PSQI score (P= 0.045) compared to Ph.D. holders. Conclusion: Prevalence of poor sleep quality was higher than expected among academic staff. This may affect workplace functioning and burden the staff with more health issues related to poor sleep quality.","PeriodicalId":506570,"journal":{"name":"November 2023","volume":"9 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139279014","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}

Clinical placement is one of the most important parts of nursing education; that can be challenging, stressful, and causes unpredictable changes. However, studies describing the challenges during clinical placement faced by nursing students are scarce. This study aimed to explore the challenges of Malaysian nursing students during a clinical placement at hospitals. Methods: A phenomenology qualitative study was conducted among nursing students at a public university in Malaysia. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data from October 2020 until November 2020. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Five themes emerged from this study: 1) attitude of the nurse, 2) patient’s distrust, 3) student’s issues, 4) learning environment, and 5) theory-practice gaps. Conclusion: This study revealed that nursing students face many challenges during their clinical postings. Therefore, various methods could be applied to increase the quality of practical sessions. Additionally, further research is needed to assess the coping strategies used by nursing students in dealing with the challenges during their clinical placement and the effectiveness of the interventions taken by the authority in helping the students.","PeriodicalId":506570,"journal":{"name":"November 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139278573","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}

We aimed to determine the differences in clinicopathological parameters at diagnosis and response to imatinib in adult CML patients with younger (under 60 years; YCML) and older (60 years and older; OCML) age treated at our institution from March 2001 to March 2021. Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive adult CML patients receiving imatinib was performed. Clinicopathological parameters and treatment response were reviewed and analysed using hospital medical records and electronic data reports. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 50 years. OCML patients (n=17) had significantly more comorbidities. The YCML group (n=50) generally had a palpable spleen >5cm from the costal margin, mild anaemia, hyperleukocytosis and thrombocytosis. A starting dose of 400 mg/day was observed in 84% of YCML and in 65% of OCML. Cumulative complete cytogenetic response was 50% in YCML versus 70.6% in OCML, p=0.158. OCML tended to have a higher percentage of major molecular response (MMR) (52.9% versus 32%) and a shorter time to MMR, 22 months (range 5-70) versus 35 months (range 8-53). OCML experienced more haematological and non-haematological treatment-related adverse events after imatinib therapy. Conclusion: Although OCML patients had more comorbidities and treatment intolerances, overall long-term treatment response was comparable to YCML. In OCML, a more personalised approach to initial and subsequent dosing of imatinib may be considered.","PeriodicalId":506570,"journal":{"name":"November 2023","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139278713","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}
