Abstract:

As we globally continue to face diversity in race, ethnicity, culture, and religion, as healthcare professionals, we also continue to be challenged by our own unchecked biases and stereotypes when working with diverse populations of clients and colleagues.  It is critical for healthcare professionals to understand and practice ‘cultural humility’ in order to better serve our ever-growing diverse populations of clients and also our professional peers.  In this workshop, the concept of ‘cultural humility’ is introduced in comparison to and in contrast with ‘cultural competence’.  Participants will also be invited to practice and embody this humility by utilizing interactive exercises.  These exercises are designed to provide both a tool and practice ground for participants to connect theory with behavior and ideas with action-oriented processes.  This workshop will be both movement-based and highly informative.

Abstract:

Madam Siti Hamidah, 61, who has a background in psychology, is trained in social work and is a senior counsellor. But she found herself "really overwhelmed" and "lost" when she became the primary caregiver for her 89-year-old bedridden mother who suffered a stroke two years ago.

She said: "Up till then my mother was a very strong woman, so being bedridden was hard for her. It was hard for me as well to see her like that. I guess what would have been helpful then would have been having someone there, a shoulder to cry on and to be able to know what to do at that critical stage.

Most people, like Mdm Sit Hamidah, may be unprepared for caregiving. Living in a busy metropolis and juggling work and family responsibility may be a recipe for burnout. A hired caregiver can assist to care of the senior in the family and give a helping hand to the family caregiver.

A trained caregiver from CARE would have the knowledge, skills and aptitude needed to care for a senior including knowing about the process of ageing and tasks of caring for a senior person. IN addition to managing activities of daily living, hygiene, nutrition, ambulation and cognitive stimulation, the trained caregiver will also be aware of the care process in looking after persons with Dementia, Cancer, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease and other ailments that are common in the senior population.

Through initial trainings and regular updates, CARE will also ensure that the trained caregiver has upsated knowledge and is confident in her role.These trainings will also assuage any doubts the family member has about the skills of the hired caregiver in caring for the senior at home.

Abstract:

Aging has been a global phenomenon. With increasing age, the vulnerability of aged population increases and due to lack of time and proper care regarding elderly, there might be elderly mistreatment in the society which directly and indirectly affects the quality of life. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted entitled “Associated factors of Elderly Mistreatment (A study of Dharan Sub Metro-politian city, Eastern Nepal)” to examine the factors among 127 elderly residing in Dharan. Multi stage sampling was used to approach the respondents. Semi-structured questionnaire was used for measuring socio-demographic variables and associated factors for elderly mistreatment. Focused group discussion was used to collect qualitative data regarding care and management with male and female caregivers of elderly. Descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-square test) were used for data analysis at 5 % level of significance. P-value less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant. Among all socio-demographic variables ethnicity, type of family, family size, source of income, monthly income, land ownership, dependency of elder with their family was found to be significant with physical mistreatment. Elderly who have small family size had experienced more physical mistreatment than large family size (10.2%) and this association was highly significant with p-value <0.001. Among all socio-demographic variables sex, education, family size, source of income, land ownership, dependency of elder with their family was found to be significant with psychological mistreatment. All socio-demographic variables Type of family, family size, land ownership, dependency of elder with their family was found to be significant with financial mistreatment. Socio-demographic variables age, education, type of family, family size, source of income, monthly income, land ownership, dependency of elder with their family was found to be significant with caregiver neglect. Based on the findings of the study it was concluded that elderly mistreatment is higher in the domain of care giver neglect (36.0%) followed by (28.0%) psychological mistreatment and the least prevalence as (15.0%) in both the physical and financial mistreatment .This study can guide family members, caretakers as well as the social service agencies to modify the behavior and practice regarding elderly mistreatment

Abstract:

Self-care is essential for nursing practice because these health habits help to protect, and promote the well-being, and mental health of nurses while sustaining their ability to manage the occupational stressors of providing care to individuals experiencing acute, and/or chronic illnesses. Self-care practices such as eating balanced meals, engaging in adequate physical activity, yoga, and meditation improve the health of clinicians. They also help to promote the healing that needs to occur after nurses have dealt with traumatizing events (i.e.. pain, suffering) associated with providing care.  When nurses do not practice adequate self-care activities research has shown that these clinicians can develop self-care deficits which reduce their ability to successfully manage the occupational stressors associated with providing care. This predisposes them to the development of stress related conditions (i.e. compassion fatigue, burnout), poor physical & mental health outcomes which decrease their job satisfaction, and productivity (Crane and Ward, 2016). Their compromised health reduces the quality of the care that they provide and negatively affects the health outcomes of patients.

Abstract:

Background: The burden of tobacco addiction on youth development in Nigeria continues to grow with significant impact on health and major social, human rights and economic consequences in all countries of the world, with  Nigeria being the third leading country among low income settings.  Globally, tobacco addiction has been estimated to be much higher in men within their reproductive ages as oppose to their relative cohort. Aim: Evidently, there is paucity of information on major health indices in Nigeria on the effect of tobacco addiction  on youth development . This created a  social mishaps on whether tobacco addiction has significant effect on youth development as a promising evidence to bringing it to a  halt. Therefore, this paper aimed at evaluating the effect of tobacco addiction in Nigeria particularly among youth in their reproductive ages. The paper reviewed  scientific literature related to the effect of tobacco addiction on youth development in Nigeria and  from around the world  that were published both locally  and internationally.

Methods: Various studies employed nonrandomized clinical trials on evaluating the effect of tobacco smoking on youth development and DMS-IV&V scale were employed for specification of associated effect. For pragmatic reasons, the research team conducted a nonrandomized, pretest-posttest, controlled group study in most of the reviewed papers. The  forensic  therapists participated in the activities and closely observed changes in behaviors of the experimental youth cohort and the results were compared with the control group.

Results :  The results of various reviewed papers  found that  tobacco addiction on youth development were found  significantly associated with impulsive behaviors, mental disorder   and 3×times higher risk of premature death than their non addicted cohort r=0.612,P<0.01,r=0.544,P=0.000<0.001, respectively. On discharge, the patients were evaluated for effect size (ES) up to 0.61) within both groups.

Conclusion: It was concluded that the effect of tobacco on youth development is a fact and not farce. Therefore, the integration of adjuvant pharmacotherapy  among youth with tobacco addiction  in our local settings is recommended

Neonatal jaundice is a very common condition worldwide occurring in up to 60% of term and 80% of preterm newborns in the first week of  life. It`s  incidence varies with geography.  It  is a leading cause of  hospitalization  in the first week of  life worldwide. If  inappropriately managed,  it may result in significant bilirubin-induced mortality and disability. The study seek to determine the prevalence and risk factors of  neonatal jaundice in Special Care Baby Unit of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital  Zaria , Nigeria. The study aimed at  determining  the number of neonates diagnosed  with jaundice, the sex distribution,  type of jaundice diagnosed,  risk factors and  treatment modalities.  An ex-post facto survey design with  in-depth  interviews  were used to collct data. Secondary data was obtained from  the medical record department of  the hospital and nurses in the Special Care Baby Unit responded to the interviews.. Data obtained showed that  480 neonates were diagnosed with jaundice out of 1470 neonates admitted with the highest prevalence in 2017. Male neonates (64%) sufferd jaundice more than  females. Physiological jandice was the most prevalent type of jaundice. The  major treatment  rendered  was drugs/phototherpay (65%).  Some factors responsible for the increase were ; poor breastfeeding practice by mothers, sepsis,  ABO incompatability among others.  It was recommended  that  mothers be educated  on the causes of  neonatal jaundice, early breastfeeding practice,  early recognision of signs of  jaundice and present to the hospital on time since most of the women in the area of study deliver at home and usually present  with the babies late to the hospital. There is also need  for a bigger and well established, organized and functional unit (SCBU) in the hospital  that can  cater for the increased number of neonates suffering from jaundice. More  qualified health  personnels should be employed in the unit to cater for the  large number of  neonates diagnosed  with jaundice.

Wafa Abu jaber, European Gaza Hospital in Gaza,Palestine

Abstract:

Health services provided to mothers after delivery constitute an essential component of the maternal and child health services in any population. According to Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) maternal mortality rate (MMR) in the Gaza-Strip was 30/100,000 live births in 2014, and 25 in 2015 ,which differed from that in the West Bank with 20/100, 000 in 2014 (Bottcher  et al., 2018).

The aim of the study was to assess the quality of postpartum care provided at governmental hospitals in Gaza Strip and to assess mothers’ satisfaction with postpartum care. The study took place from May 2018 to March 2019, and the researcher used descriptive, analytical, cross sectional design. The sample of the study consisted of 115 nurses and midwives who are working in postpartum departments (Normal vaginal Delivery NVD units and Cesarean Section CS units) at governmental hospitals (Al Shifa hospital, Nasser hospital, Shohada Al Aqsa hospital, and Al Emaratey hospital), and 428 postpartum mothers from the same hospitals, the researcher chose this sample according the mean number of 2016 and 2017 cases. For data collection, the researcher developed three instruments: Quality of postpartum care (A nursing perspective), mothers' satisfaction from by/about postpartum care, and observational checklist for nursing care. trained nurses helped us the researchers in collecting data. Reliability of the questionnaire was tested and Cronbache alpha coefficient was 0.965 for satisfaction scale, and 0.852 for quality of postpartum care. For data analysis, SPSS (version 22) was used, and statistical analysis included frequencies, percentage, means, standard deviation, (t) test, and One way ANOVA.

The results showed that the mean age of mothers was 26.32±5.86 years, 93.2% were housewives, 6.8% were working mothers, 30.1% primiparous, in addition, mean age of nurses was 30.96±6.007 years, (60.9%) had Bachelor degree,41.7% had 6-10years of experience. The results showed that 18.9% of mothers were highly satisfied and 53% were satisfied, and the mothers expressed above moderate satisfaction with mean score 3.78 and weighted percentage (75.6%). There were no statistically significant differences in mothers’ satisfaction related to age, work-status and number of deliveries. In addition, the results indicated high quality postpartum care (Nurses and midwives perspective) 90% in governmental hospitals in Gaza Strip. There were statistically significant differences in the perception of the quality of postpartum care based upon years of experience, where nurses and midwives with 1 - 5 years of experience have had the lowest mean score in providing quality of care, but there were no significant differences in quality of postpartum care related to nurses’ age and qualification. Furthermore, in observational checklists results, the highest score was in communication with mean score 2.56 and weighted percentage 85.3%, and the lowest score was in efficient care of the baby with mean score 1.95 and weighted percentage 65%. The overall score of observed performance was above moderate with mean score 2.02 and weighted percentage 67.3 %. Also the researcher presented the challenges to improve mothers' satisfaction with Postpartum care (PPC) and the implications to improve the quality of PPC . In conclusion, according to the weakest points of postpartum care (A nursing perspective) the study raised the need to apply Palestinian unified, written protocols and guidelines that specify and describes nurses’ interventions during the postpartum period for the mother and her baby.
