Read More BACKGROUND: The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in educationhas been a major agenda of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and its adoption has beenfound effective in nursing education.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify and review existing literature on ICT integration in nursingeducation within the context of Southeast Asia and to identify the themes of these studies, ICT toolsof 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 formulatedresearch question. Electronic databases of Medline, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, Mendeley, andGoogle Scholar were searched and literatures retrieved and screened for eligibility. No date limit wasconsidered in the literature search. This systematic review utilized the Preferred Reporting Items forSystematic 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 thematicanalysis which include: (1) use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning in nursing, (2) challenges withICT integration in nursing education, (3) attitude and perceptions toward ICT integration in nursingeducation, 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 integrationin nursing education has not been given significant attention. Governments of the Southeast Asiancountries 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 whenand where necessary.

Read More BACKGROUND AND AIM: The inability of women to demand from their husbands, for not smoking,has been reported as a factor in exposure to cigarette smoke. This study aimed to investigate theperceived barriers and self‑efficacy of pregnant women regarding second‑hand smoke (SHS) at home.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross‑sectional study, and the sample size was 255pregnant women who visited the health‑care centers in Isfahan, Iran, from July 2018 to September2018, and were selected randomly and voluntarily. A questionnaire was designed to collect thedata about the exposure to smoke, perceived barriers, and self‑efficacy. The data were analyzedusing descriptive statistics (mean score and standard deviation), inferential statistics (nonparametricMann–Whitney and Kendall test), and Spearman’s correlation and regression.RESULTS: The mean score of self‑efficacy in the exposure group was lower than that the othergroup (P = 0.000). The mean score of perceived barrier was not a significant difference (P = 0.449).Personal perceived barriers are the most important predictor of self‑efficacy of pregnant womenin exposure to SHS (95% confidence interval: 0.013–0.262) (P = 0.030). Kendall test comparingitems within the group and Mann–Whitney test comparing the two groups showed that personalfactors such as “Unaware of the dangers of SHS and protective measures” for notexposed womenand environmental factor “the lack of ban smoking law at home” for exposed women are consideredthe most important barriers (P = 0.000). “Not being together a husband” (P = 0.293) and “going toanother place when smoking a husband” (P = 0.000) are the highest self‑efficacy items.CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to develop training programs to increase self‑efficacy to avoidexposure to SHS and for both pregnant women and their husbands. It is also necessary to educateand inform about SHS and protective measures against it and to set up “smoking ban law” at homein our country to protect pregnant women.

Read More OBJECTIVE: Self‑efficacy is an individual’s self‑perception of one’s ability to perform competentlyand to achieve a task or goal effectively. In the nursing field, self-efficacy can be useful in predictingperformance, job satisfaction, or well-being. Therefore, due to the importance of this issue, this studyaimed to determine the effect of educational workshop on nurses’ self‑efficacy along with follow‑upin patient training.METHODS: The study employed a single group quasi‑experimental study with a pretest/posttestdesign and was conducted in one educational hospital supervised by the Kerman University of MedicalSciences in 2016. Nurses’ self‑efficacy was analyzed through a researcher‑made questionnaireprior and after the workshop and along with the follow‑up period (n = 20). Data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation and analytic statistics such as Pearsoncorrelation coefficient, independent t‑test, paired t‑test, and ANOVA with P ≤ 0.05.RESULTS: This study showed that 1 month after educational workshop, the score of self‑efficacydimensions increased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, results showed that after a 3‑month follow‑up period,self‑efficacy score increased in comparison to preintervention self‑efficacy score. Results showed thatthe total score means of self‑efficacy before the workshop was 59.01 ± 14.91 while postworkshop,self‑efficacy score means was 79.83 ± 11.90.CONCLUSION: The present research results presented that educational workshop may enhanceself‑efficacy among nurses. According to the obtained results, it is recommended that the Ministryof Health, Treatment and Medical Training, in cooperation with nursing institutions responsible fornursing and medical in‑service education adopt necessary measures to enhance self‑efficacy amongemployees in addition to improving patient training condition at medical processes through similarworkshops or conducting related studies.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Food handlers with poor personal hygiene and lack of awareness in preventingfoodborne diseases working in hospitality sectors or hospitals could spread foodborne infections.OBJECTIVE: Our study objective was to ascertain the impact of a video‑based educationalintervention program and administrative measures on improvement in personal hygiene of foodhandlers in hospital.METHODOLOGY: We conducted this pilot study among all 103 food handlers who were working ina tertiary care hospital. A checklist‑based scoring and physical examination were conducted by theinvestigator for the food handlers. After baseline scoring S1, intervention 1 and 2 was implemented,and score was obtained as S2 and S3, respectively. Descriptive statistics was calculated, and scorewas compared by repeated measures ANOVA test using SPSS‑22 software.RESULTS: Our study revealed that a total of 19.2% of food handlers had health complaints. More thanhalf (54.8%) admitted that they had suffered from any kind of illness since last 6 months. Common illnesswas viral fever (40.3%) followed by typhoid (5.7%), dengue (4.8%) and urinary tract infection (3.8%).Most of the food handlers had long hair (62.5%) followed by long nail (57.69%). Nearly, one‑fifth (20.1%)of food handlers nail was infected with fungus. Worm was found in 14.4% cases by stool examination.Statistically significant (P < 0.05) improvement in score was observed after each intervention.DISCUSSION: Poor hygiene (Score‑1 = 23.76) was observed at baseline study although therewas a mechanism in place for a yearly health checkup and regular (6 monthly) hygiene training.After interventions (video‑based training and administrative measures), the score was improved toScore‑3 (42.57). Statistically significant(P< 0.05) differences in hygiene score were observed for variablessuch as state of residence, education level, and working experiences (inside or outside the hospital).CONCLUSION: It is possible to improve personal hygiene among food handlers using video‑basedinteractive training methods and administrative measures with no extra or minimal cost.RECOMMENDATIONS: This “piggyback” approach of training can be imparted in addition to routinetraining measures among the food handlers for improving their personal hygiene in the hospital setting.
