Data collection utilized observation techniques and questionnaires as research instruments, with the analysis employing Kendall's Tau B and Kendall's Tau C methods. The findings revealed significant correlations between age (p-value=0.000), education (p-value=0.006), career path level (p-value=0.013), and knowledge (p-value=0.011). However, there was no significant relationship between the length of work experience and nurse compliance in monitoring infusion fluids (p-value=0.257) according to SOPs in this private hospital. To enhance the quality of care, it is recommended that nurses receive additional training provided by the nursing education team at the hospital, focusing specifically on the monitoring of infusion fluids. This targeted training could contribute to reducing instances of complaints related to mismatched patient needs and ultimately improve compliance with established SOPs in infusion therapy.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":"22 1‐2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140228144","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, it is noteworthy that families residing in Indonesia exhibit a propensity to predominantly seek palliative care services within hospital environments for their family members afflicted with palliative-stage cancer. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the perceptions of family members in their decision-making process regarding the care of palliative-stage cancer patients at home. This qualitative study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with ten Indonesian family members of palliative-stage cancer patients refusing discharge, and were analyzed using the Colaizzi method. Furthermore, the inclusion criteria were that the dominant family member who cares for the patient lives with the patient and is involved in the decision-making process. Two themes emerged from this study: i) a lack of support in decision-making, and ii) pain and chronic sorrow. Home-based palliative care for cancer patients presents significant decision-making challenges and persistent grief for families, necessitating robust support and education from healthcare professionals such as nurses and policymakers. Additionally, a national health insurance system that enables effective palliative care is crucial.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":" 773","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140092161","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}

Purposive sampling is the sampling technique used in this research, with a total of 73 participants. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test, and data were collected using an instrument. The results indicated that 47 responders (64.4%) perceived that nurses' caring behavior was not good. Specific indicators revealed that “maintaining belief” was not good for 39 respondents (53%), “knowing” for 53 (73%), “being with” for 45 respondents (62%), “doing for” for 48 respondents (66%), and “enabling” for 49 respondents (67%). Regarding patient satisfaction, 43 people (58.9%) expressed being quite satisfied. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between caring nurses and patient satisfaction, with a p-value of 0.000 or p<0.05. It was recommended that nurses in the inpatient room incorporate improvements in caring behavior into nursing planning and goals. Policies related to the obligation of providing caring actions should be established to enhance patient satisfaction.

Its ability to infect a host is aided by its virulence factors, such as biofilm. This study aimed to evaluate the activity of clover honey in inhibiting and degrading the biofilm formation of C. albicans in vitro. This study used a true experimental design with an in vitro post-test-only control group design approach. The microtiter plate assay was used to grow planktonic cells and biofilm. This method was carried out to obtain the Optical Density (OD) value for each test, measured by a Microplate Reader. Cell viability was measured using the MTS Assay kit, the biofilm matrix was measured using the Crystal Violet Assay, and the morphology of C. albicans biofilms was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Probit and One-way ANOVA tests were applied to determine the MIC50 of both planktonic and biofilm, as well as statistical analysis. The results showed that clover honey exerted inhibitory activity against C. albicans planktonic cells at a MIC50value of 31.60% w/v. At the highest concentration, clover honey exhibited antibiofilm activity by lowering the extracellular matrix and viability of C. albicans cells by 64.59% and 72.09%, respectively. Based on SEM observation, clover honey changed the cell morphology of C. albicans and reduced the thickness of the biofilm. Overall, our findings concluded that clover honey exhibited antifungal properties against C. albicans by inhibiting biofilm formation and degrading mature biofilm.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":"245 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140454619","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 ensure their well-being, individuals with HIV/AIDS must be vigilant in preserving their immunity, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. This research aimed to enhance the immunity of people with HIV and AIDS during the COVID-19 pandemic utilizing a self-management model approach. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements, involving a sample of 30 HIV and AIDS patients in Sorong City, selected through purposive sampling technique. Independent variable in this research was the self-management model, which measured using Self-Management Model Guidebook and dependent variable was increasing the immunity of people with HIV and AIDS, which was measured using Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) and CD4 cell observation. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon test with significance level for these tests was set at 95%, with α ≤ 0.05. Analyzing the SRQ results of HIV/AIDS patients before and after the intervention, indicated a significant difference with a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.044 < 0.05. This suggests a notable change in the SRQ results of HIV/AIDS patients. Additionally, the analysis of CD4 cell values before and after the intervention, yielded a Sig.
