Abstract:

Currently, there are more than 10 million people over the age of 60 in 33 countries. The world population over the age of 60 is projected to grow to nearly 2 billion in the first half of the 21st century.In Japan, more than 26% of the population is 65 years or over, the needs of geriatric nursing have been increasing, the requirements in geriatric facilities are also changing. The geriatric care facilities (GCFs) should provide  provision of care focused on the life of the users, and care is provided through multidisciplinary collaboration. Thus, it is expected that  nurse administrators of GCFs should have specific roles and attitudinal attributes suited for the above characteristics different from those of medical facilities. However, very little research has focused on nurse administrators of GCFs in Japan. Therefore, we conducted a qualitative exploratory descriptive research to clarify  effective manegement style of the nurse administrators of GCFs.  Participants expressed their management style  and describe the characteristics or attributes of it. Four descriptive themes: show a vision for promoting home nursing, divide work with respect for specialty, pursue care with respect for the elderly, create an ethical work environment, were categolised.  Also they offered difference between that of GCFs and that of medical facilities, pointed out the issues that may hinder quality of care improvement in the geriatric care environment. The effective management  of nurse administrators in GCFs has been clarified, in which included a viewpoint of the management different from that of the medical facilities.

Abstract:

Recently, advancements in medical care have made it possible to save the lives of SMID children; therefore, support is required during these children’s transition to home care. It is important to support not only parents, but also siblings during the transition, however studies that focus on siblings are rare.

Therefore, this study aims to clarify the experience of primary caregivers of SMID children with siblings during the handicapped children’s transition to home care. We conducted an online semi-structured interviews with 19 primary caregivers as subjects, and performed a Krippendorff (2012) content analysis.

As the result, 95 codes, 25 subcategories, and five categories were extracted as the experiences of the primary caregivers during the transition of SMID children with siblings to home care. The five categories were: “Discharge from the hospital while maintaining a balance with childcare for siblings”; “Struggling to balance caring for the SMID child and siblings”; “Observing the relationship between the SMID children and their siblings”; “Concern about the impact of a sibling on the relationship and the burden of caring”; and“Establishing new relationships between a sibling child and oneself”.

“Discharge from the hospital while maintaining a balance with childcare for siblings” refers to the experience of the primary caregiver. The primary caregiver had to secure human resources and make adjustments for life at home, while struggling to balance visits to the SMID child and caring for the siblings.

“Struggling to balance caring for the SMID child and siblings” is also the experience of the primary caregiver. After discharge, the primary caregiver was busy providing care for the SMID child. As a result. they may have been unable to care for siblings and to live a life without the help of others.

“Observing the relationship between the SMID children and their siblings” as well as encouraging their interaction is the experience of the caregivers even in situations where it is difficult to establish the sibling relationship.

“Concern about the impact of a sibling on the relationship and the burden of caring” refers to the primary caregiver’s concern about the impact of the SMID child on their relationships and the burden of caring imposed by the SMID child.

“Establishing new relationships between a sibling child and oneself” refers to the experience of the primary caregiver who also feels supported by the presence of a sibling child, while trying to build a relationship with both the SMID child and the sibling child.

During the transition to home care, the primary caregiver finds it difficult to balance caring for the SMID child and the siblings but they support that the siblings can adapt to the new environment, and so they rebuild the relationship between themselves and the siblings.

Nurses should support primary caregivers when they are adapting to the transition to home care. Furthermore, they should encourage the development of relationships between the SMID child and their siblings and rebuilding of the relationships between the primary caregiver and the siblings.

Abstract:

SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. As of 5 May 2021, there are 1,062,225 confirmed cases and 17,525 deaths in the Philippines (DOH, 2021). With this, the study aimed to assess the level of risk exposure to COVID-19 of the working individuals in Cagayan de Oro City according to age, nature of work, destination, mode of transportation, and application of self-protective measures. A total of seventy-eight (78) respondents were selected through convenience sampling.  Findings show that most of the respondents are aged 21 to 35 years old (62.82%), work as office workers (53.85%), go to high risk areas such as neighborhoods, places of worship, and social gatherings (53.85%); ride low risk modes of transportation such as habal-habal, taxi, and private transportation (62.82%), and used four self-protective measures like face masks, face shields, alcohol-based sanitizer/rubbing alcohol, and clean gloves when going out (70.51%).

Those belonging to the age group of 21 to 35 years old had higher levels of risk exposure to COVID-19. There was a significant difference in the level of risk exposure when grouped according to age, destination, mode of transportation, and the application of self-protective measures. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the level of risk exposure to COVID-19 among the working individuals when grouped according to the nature of work. Overall, there was a low level of risk exposure to COVID-19 among the working individuals of Cagayan de Oro City.

Abstract:

The Philippines has an increasingly aging population thereby increasing the demand for healthcare and support from families and the government. Studies showed that the family is the main caregiver of elderly parents/adults as dictated by the Filipino culture of filial piety and respectful behavior towards older people. However, this caring culture is now slowly declining due to deteriorating family values and societal influences brought about by modernization. To assist Filipino older adults on their socioeconomic needs of Filipino older adults, laws and policies were enacted and being implemented by the government. Unfortunately, benefits from these government programs are not fully enjoyed by Filipino older adults due to implementation issues on the local government unit level. Hence, the government needs to revisits its policies and programs to cater to the needs and promote the rights and privileges of these vulnerable population group especially when families are incapable of providing care to their elderly. Family and the government can partner in giving care and support to Filipino older adults. The unique filial piety culture and respectful behavior towards older people must also be maintained. This article provides an overview of caring behavior of Filipino families to their elderly and the various government policies concerning socioeconomic assistance and privileges given to its senior citizens.

Abstract:

     The absence of a proper professional brand had affected the status of nursing nationally. Many of the current issues require reconceptualisation instead of radical solutions. Transforming the roles of nursing management and staff nurses can positively influence career branding. Focusing on active branding will automatically sort out major local issues in addition to promoting global health coverage. This discussion paper presents the current situation of professional branding in Saudi Arabia and offers potential solutions for enhancing the professional brand for nurses. Active marketing of the nursing profession would begin with changes in the paradigm of nursing leadership and the redesign of nurses’ work, which will help to accept the role of nurses as independent professionals. Creating and communicating their brand on the national level is essential. Branding strategies require active input from the nurses, local nurse associations and nurse legislators with significant focus on visibility of nurses roles.

Abstract:

Obstetric violence (OV), is a specific type of violation of women’s rights in medical practice during health care related to the child birth processes.   Women who give birth may be exposed to different forms of OV during labor, in the delivery room, and in the early postpartum period. Being exposed to such maltreatment and abuse creates a psychological distance between expectant mothers and care providers, and as a result, women who are afraid of being exposed to abuse and violence avoid applying to health systems. Avoidance of applying to the hospital and thus getting away from the health system is becoming a more important obstacle than geographical or financial barriers among the barriers encountered in providing maternal health care.

The inability of expectant mothers to receive service from health institutions is one of the important factors that play a role in the increase in maternal mortality rates. According to WHO's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), countries should set new targets for reducing maternal mortality rates and develop effective policies to achieve this.  SDG 3 includes an ambitious target: “reducing the global MMR to less than 70 per 100 000 births, with no country having a maternal mortality rate of more than twice the global average”.  Although Turkey has a good 16.0% maternal mortality rate (WHO,2018), it has been determined that the rate of home births is on the rise in some studies.

Respectful care during childbirth has been described as “a universal human right that encompasses the principles of ethics and respect for women’s feelings, dignity, choices and preferences”.   Accounts of women, health workers and families reveal a range of disrespectful and abusive treatment. These include physical abuse (beating, slapping and pinching), lack of consent for care (e.g. for Caesarean section or tubal ligation), non-confidential care (e.g. lack of physical privacy or sharing of confidential information), undignified care (e.g. shouting, scolding and demeaning comments), abandonment (e.g. being left alone during delivery), discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, age, or wealth, or detention in facilities for failure to pay user fees.

Abstract:

In recent years, the global prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased rapidly, contributing significantly to the incidence of chronic disease. This increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity also affected women of reproductive age. 50% of women of childbearing age are overweight or obese. 18% are obese at the beginning of pregnancy. In the United States and Europe, 20-40% of women gain more weight than recommended during pregnancy. Although the exact mechanism of the negative effects of maternal obesity on the mother and fetus is not known, there are various interactions between genetics, environmental factors, mother and fetus. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of almost all pregnancy complications, and complications such as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus are more common in women with a normal body mass index. Obese women are also at higher risk of metabolic syndrome in the future, as they are at higher risk of excess weight gain during the gestational period. Risks such as prematurity, stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, macrosomic baby (>4000 g) and large for gestational age baby are increased in an obese pregnant. In addition, obesity can cause spontaneous pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies such as cleft lip, diaphragmatic hernia, cardiac and gastrointestinal anomalies during early pregnancy. In the postpartum period, obese women have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism, depression and breastfeeding problems. Weight gain in the postpartum period increases future cardiometabolic risks and preconceptional obesity in subsequent pregnancies. In conclusion, being overweight during pregnancy increases the burden of health care and contributes to significant obstetric complications. It is recommended to plan effective interventions to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity in pregnant women.
