The study aims to test the effect of mindfulness breathing meditation on psychological well-being among nurses working for COVID-19 patients. A total of 50 nurses (25 each in the intervention and control groups) were included in the study. We found significant differences between the preintervention and postintervention mean scores of both groups, based on the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale Indonesian version.
Introduction: Professional nurses should have adequate competency in order to apply Evidence Based Practice (EBP) in their nursing care. However, many nurses provide nursing care based on traditions, habits and personal experience. Less confidence in the feeling of nurses about their competency when employing EBP could inhibit successful EBP implementation in nursing care. Therefore, introducing and applying EBP during clinical placements in the Ners program is essential to form a professional attitude and to provide a basic level of experience when applying EBP in patient care. However, the self-efficacy and competence of the students when applying EBP has not yet been evaluated properly and there is little known about the nursing students’ competences and self-efficacy toward EBP implementation during clinical practice. Thus, the study aims to describe the self-efficacy and competency of nursing students toward the implementation of EBP, while also investigating the relationship between self-efficacy and the competency of nursing students in the implementation of EBP.Methods: This descriptive correlational study involved 120 nursing students who were actively registered on the Ners program 2016/2017. The data was collected by using the self-reporting Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ), which was then analysed descriptively and inferentially using statistics.Results: The results of this study revealed that more than half (55%) of the participants had a high score of self-efficacy and almost half (49%) were categorised as having a high competence when implementing EBP. The self-efficacy score was significantly correlated to the score of competency (r = 0.607, p < 0.01).Conclusion: This study recommends that the development of the students’ competence in implementing EBP is essential to promote self-efficacy when applying EBP, and vice versa.
ABSTRAKPendahuluan: Perilaku kesehatan sangat penting untuk mencegah kemungkinan terjadinya serangan jantung serta menjaga kesehatan pasien dengan infark miokard. Selain itu, pemeriksaan indikator klinis juga sangat penting untuk mengoptimalkan program pengobatan dan memonitor adanya faktor risiko serangan jantung. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) menjelaskan perilaku kesehatan dan indikator klinis pasien dengan infark miokard di Indonesia; dan (2) menganalisis hubungan perilaku kesehatan pasien dengan indikator klinis dan variabel lain yang telah ditentukan. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif korelasional dengan melibatkan 60 pasien dengan infark miokard. Hasil: Sebagian besar pasien berada pada tingkat cukup/sedang untuk perilaku kesehatan secara keseluruhan, perilaku berolahraga, perilaku diet, dan manajemen stres. Sebagian besar pasien juga memiliki tingkat kepatuhan yang tinggi terhadap pengobatan dan berhenti merokok. Selain itu, tekanan darah dan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) pasien dengan infark miokard juga berada pada level normal. Sebaliknya, lebih dari separuh pasien dengan infark miokard memiliki kadar gula darah dan kolesterol yang tinggi, serta HDL yang rendah. Selain itu, hampir setengah pasien menunjukkan kadar LDL dan trigliserida yang tinggi. Lebih lanjut, perilaku olahraga menunjukkan hubungan yang negatif terhadap kolesterol total dan LDL, namun jenis kelamin menunjukkan hubungan yang positif dengan perilaku kesehatan secara keseluruhan dan perilaku berhenti merokok. Selain itu, penghasilan pasien per bulan menunjukkan hubungan yang positif terhadap perilaku olahraga dan diet; frekuensi hospitalisasi menunjukkan hubungan yang positif dengan tekanan darah sistolik; dan program pengobatan infark miokard menunjukkan hubungan yang positif dengan perilaku kesehatan, perilaku berhenti merokok, dan tekanan darah. Diskusi: program rehabilitasi jantung sebaiknya juga mengikutsertakan perilaku kesehatan dan indikator klinis didalamnya sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya serangan jantung dan menjaga status kesehatan pasien dengan infark miokard.

In addition to health behaviors, measuring clinical outcomes is a critical element for optimizing treatment and monitoring the risk factors of a cardiac event. The aims of this study were to (1) describe health behaviors and clinical outcomes among patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in
Background Stigmatization attitudes among youths toward people living with HIV (PLWH) is still an issue and concern in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the regional disparities, levels of HIV-related knowledge, information, and contributions related to stigmatization attitudes among females aged 15–24 years in Indonesia. Methods A cross-sectional study with The 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) was used. A total of 12,691individual records of females aged 15–24 years were recruited through two-stage stratified cluster sampling. The endpoint was stigmatization attitude. Then, bivariate and multivariate binary logistics were performed. Results The findings showed that female youths who have no HIV-related knowledge (62.15%) and some source of information (52.39%). The highest prevalence of stigmatizing attitude was 59.82%, on Java Island. Multivariate analysis showed that females living in Sulawesi and Kalimantan; those living in a rural area; and those with more HIV-related knowledge were less likely to have a stigmatizing attitude. Conversely, females with the middle- to richest-wealth index and had some HIV-related information were more likely to have a stigmatizing attitude. Conclusion An understanding of stigmatizing attitudes should be considered through demographic factors, knowledge, and source of HIV-related information. The Indonesian government should pay more attention to indicators of HIV-related knowledge and information. Moreover, we suggest that the government collaborates with youths to disseminate information and restructure and reanalyze policies about HIV.
