Background: Research related to health literacy among children is limited due to the lack of appropriate measurement tools for this population. The measurement tools used to measure health literacy among children are usually adapted from the adult versions. Researches related to instruments measuring health literacy that can be used for children in school environments are inadequate. This study aimed to synthesize research on the instruments that measure health literacy among children in the community setting.Method: We carried out a scoping review to synthesize research on the instruments measuring health literacy among children in the community setting. The article searching process was targeted to collect articles with corresponding populations, concepts, and contexts. The search was conducted through PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Sage Journals databases published between 2010-2020. The selection process was done using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methods (PRISMA). The following critical appraisal used The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.Results: Out of 328 studies, six articles were selected for this review. Consensus showed that health literacy needs to be applied in various situations. Improving the health literacy of children in the early stages is crucial for children's development and personal health. Several instruments can be applied to measure health literacy in school-age children, such as Health Literacy Measures for Adolescents, Health Literacy for School-aged Children in the English, Turkish and Lithuanian versions, and Chinese version of the eight-item Health Literacy Assessment Tool. Generally, the instruments are adequate, while only two instruments in this study are inadequate because they do not describe the validity and reliability.
This study aims to determine the result of the Sujok Triorigin Therapy (STT) for reducing symptoms experienced by COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 patients through community empowerment. This study was a pre-experimental design without a control group. STT was provided by volunteers who had been specially trained. STT utilizes a specific therapeutic protocol such as massage, twist, needle, or color therapy on the palm and back of the hands, targeting the symptoms experienced by respondents. Respondents were measured on a symptom severity scale (Likert’s scale 1-5) before and after therapy. There are 7 respondents who were diagnosed positive for COVID-19 and 32 were post-COVID-19, with 16 men and 23 women ranging from 18 to 70 years and the most in the age are 41-50 years group. The symptoms experienced by respondents with COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 are mostly similar such as dyspnea and coughing. The average score of symptom severity reduces from 3.26 to 1.74. In conclusion, the results show that the STT provides effective therapeutic results for reducing symptoms in COVID-19 patients and post-COVID-19 patients through community empowerment. The symptoms experienced by respondents with COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 are mostly similar such as dyspnea and coughing.
Background: The wound care skills checklist in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) should be valid and reliable. Thus, the reliability test of the wound care skills checklist is needed. Purpose of the study was to identify the reliability of the wound care skills checklist.Methods: This study is a descriptive non-experimental quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. This study was conducted in the School of Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. The number of respondents was 94 second-year students of this school of nursing. Inter-rater reliability was performed by 2 raters during OSCE. Kappa and Percent agreement (PA) were used to analyze the reliability of the checklist.Results: Inter-rater reliability of the wound care skills checklist is categorized as good based on kappa value (0.7613) and acceptable based on PA value (89.36%). The results of the twenty-two item checklist were divided into five categories. Sixteen of the twenty-two items on the wound care skills checklist are included in the first category in which kappa category (≥0.41) and PA (>70%) are acceptable. One item is in the second category which has unacceptable value of kappa and PA, one item is in the third category which has low kappa value (0.3974) and high PA (89.36%), one item is in the fourth category which has a kappa value of 0, and three items are in the fifth category which has negative kappa value.Conclusions: Inter-rater reliability of the wound care skills checklist OSCE in this nursing school can be categorized as good and acceptable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
