BACKGROUND: The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in education has been a major agenda of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and its adoption has been found effective in nursing education. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify and review existing literature on ICT integration in nursing education within the context of Southeast Asia and to identify the themes of these studies, ICT tools of concern and the research methods adopted. METHODOLOGY: A systematic review of six eligible literatures was conducted with thematic analysis. The data for this systematic review of literature are from published studies based on the formulated research question. Electronic databases of Medline, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, Mendeley, and Google Scholar were searched and literatures retrieved and screened for eligibility. No date limit was considered in the literature search. This systematic review utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. RESULTS: The studies originated from the Philippines ( n = 3), Malaysia ( n = 2), and Singapore ( n = 1). One study originated from both the Philippines and Thailand. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis which include: (1) use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning in nursing, (2) challenges with ICT integration in nursing education, (3) attitude and perceptions toward ICT integration in nursing education, and (4) suggestions for improvement. The most important ICT tools were computers, projectors, and internet. Majority of the studies were descriptive quantitative studies. CONCLUSION: Despite increasing concern on the use of ICT in Southeast Asia, ICT integration in nursing education has not been given significant attention. Governments of the Southeast Asian countries should provide sufficient support for ICT integration in the various nursing institutions. Institutional administrators are encouraged to key into the ICT trend and render their support when and where necessary.

Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive life with associated physical, social, mental and cultural changes. Menopausal symptoms are known to impair the quality of life (QoL) of women. This study assessed the determinants of quality of life among menopausal women traders in a South-Western Town, Nigeria. Methodology:   This study adopted descriptive research design. 421 respondents were purposively selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.  Standardized Structured Questionnaire that was pretested and validated was used to collect data. The data obtained were analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 23 and P-value were set as 0.05. Results: Socio-demographic characteristics distribution of respondents showed that 286 respondents (67.9%) were married; 205 respondents (48.7%) were secondary school holders and the menopausal mean age was 48.45±3.78 years. On determinants of QoL, 328 respondents (78.0%) reported good sleep; 301 respondents (71.5%) reported good memory; 138 respondents (32.8%) reported enjoyment of love life; and 215 respondents (51.0%) claimed to work actively. On the overall QoL 223 respondents (53.0%) experienced fair QoL; there is no significant relationship between QoL and selected demographic variables, their P value were, age = 0.48, number of children = 0.13, educational qualification = 0.70, occupation = 0.20 and monthly income = 0.53. Conclusion: The study concluded that respondents’ love life has the least reported response among the determinants, and little above half has fair QoL. Therefore public health practitioners need to pay special attention to comprehensive sexuality education for menopausal women to improve their QoL.
