Therefore, this study aimsto explore the experience of nurses using basic nursing science in caring for patients with chronic diseases. Design and Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 5 nurses working in chronic disease wards for at least 5 years. Each respondent was then interviewed using a self-constructed questionnaire. Results: All respondents agreed that basic nursing science is important in providing quality healthcare services. Furthermore, six themes were identified using the thematic analysis, namely (1) the process of collecting patient data, which was more focused and organized; (2) required for establishing the nursing diagnosis; (3) useful for determining the nursing care plan; (4) it is a basis for implementing nursing actions; (5) provides a basis for monitoring and follow-up; (6) and teamwork between health personnel is more effective. Conclusions: Based on the interview results, nurses need knowledge and skills in basic nursing science while caring for patients with chronic diseases. Furthermore, basic nursing sciences lay the foundation for nurses while assessing patients, diagnosing, planning the care, implementing nursing actions, evaluating patients’ condition, and collaborating with other health personnel.

Polusi kadmium dan suara bising mesin produksi di Kawasan Industri Candi (KIC) Semarang dilaporkan dapat menyebabkan nyeri kepala dan stres warga sekitar KIC. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memberdayakan perawat komunitas di sekitar KIC untuk menangani keluhan nyeri dan stres yang dialami warga. Metode yang digunakan adalah rancangan quasi-eksperimental yang terdiri atas dua tahap. Tahap pertama memberikan pelatihan keperawatan dasar berupa teknik hipnosis 5 jari kepada 13 perawat komunitas untuk menurunkan tingkat nyeri dan stres. Pretest dan posttest dilakukan untuk mengukur pemahaman perawat komunitas terhadap materi pelatihan. Tahap kedua, perawat komunitas diberikan Standar Prosedur Operasional (SPO) untuk dipraktikkan langsung kepada warga sekitar KIC Semarang. Sebanyak 65 warga dikumpulkan di Balai Kelurahan Purwoyoso, Kecamatan Ngaliyan Semarang. Masingmasing perawat mempraktikkan SPO yang diberikan kepada 5 warga yang diukur tingkat nyeri dan stres menggunakan Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) sebelum dan sesudah diberikan teknik hipnosis 5 jari. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Wilcoxon signed rank. Hasil menunjukkan rerata tingkat pemahaman perawat meningkat dari 75 menjadi 88 (p = 0,000). Seluruh perawat menerapkan 100% SPO yang telah diberikan dan didapatkan skala tingkat nyeri dan stres warga sekitar KIC adalah 6,80+1,32 dan 4,34+1,64 untuk pretest dan 4,34+1,64 dan 2,40+1,10 untuk posttest. Didapatkan penurunan bermakna tingkat nyeri dan stres setelah diberikan hipnosis 5 jari (p = 0,000; p = 0,000, secara berurutan). Kesimpulan, pelatihan hipnosis 5 jari pada perawat komunitas dapat menurunkan tingkat nyeri dan stres pada warga di sekitar KIC Semarang.

Online learning in nursing education has been carried out for a long time by several educational institutions worldwide. However, online learning in Indonesia has been forced to take place since the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic was announced. This study aims to determine how students perceive learning support and how it relates to learning outcomes and student satisfaction in online learning that has been implemented for the even semester of 2021. This study involved 160 respondents willing to participate in filling out statements related to online learning support, Grade Point Average (GPA), and satisfaction. The data were analyzed using the Pearson test. The results showed a positive correlation between support for nursing student satisfaction during online learning (p<0.05). However, this study's support did not correlate with learning outcomes (p>0.05). Most nursing students perceive instructional, lecturer, peer, and technical support positively. A detailed explanation of why the results of this study are important and discussed in the article. In conclusion, educational institutions must periodically evaluate students' perceptions of learning support, which is not only limited to online learning but also blended learning which is likely to be applied. In addition, satisfaction can also help assess how to provide an overview of students' views as regular customers at nursing education institutions.
