Purpose: The aims of this study are to acquire new insights about the concept of hope in children with cancer and to identify the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of hope in children with cancer. Methods: Nine English and Thai-language studies that discussed the hope in children or adolescents with cancer were located using the online database in nursing (1990–2023). Qualitative analysis and synthesis of these studies were completed using an adaptation of Walker and Avant’s concept synthesis method. Results: The antecedents of hope of children with cancer were hope of other persons surrounding them and the relationship between these children and others. The attributes of hope in children with cancer were hope for cure, intentional hope and inner strength. Also, the consequences of hope in children with cancer were well-being, quality of life, coping behavior, expressing new feelings of safety or comfort, and conveying trust to others. Conclusion: This study found that hope is important and has a positive effect on body-mind and the emotions of children with cancer. Thus, healthcare providers such as nurses should enhance hope in children with cancer by promoting their inner resources, positive experiences, and emotional support, while decreasing negative emotional factors. Therefore, children with cancer have hope in their treatment outcomes and inner strength, leading to their expressing new feelings of safety and a good quality of life. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10962 Title: Nursing interventions for improving quality of life among patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention: A scoping review Authors: Sugiharto, Firman; Nuraeni, Aan; Trisyani, Yanny; Melati Putri, Azalia; Aghnia Armansyah, Nuraulia Abstract: Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) aims to improve the quality of life (QoL) for coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, but many patients still have poor QoL. The impact of poor QoL causes long-lasting feelings of frustration, anxiety, fear, and worry that make a person give up or lose enthusiasm for the future. Purpose: This study aimed to describe nursing interventions to improve the QoL of CHD patients after PCI. Methods: This research used the scoping review method by including all full-text primary studies written in English and published between 2013 to 2023 from three databases, EBSCO-host, PubMed, and Scopus, and one e-resource, Sage Journals. The keywords used were “coronary artery disease OR myocardial infarction OR cardiovascular disease AND quality of life AND percutaneous coronary intervention OR PCI OR Angioplasty AND Nursing care OR nursing intervention.” Results: A total of eight articles discussed nursing interventions to improve the QoL among CHD patients after PCI. There are two categories of interventions that nurses can carry out: hospital-based (inpatient or outpatient) rehabilitation and cardiac tele-rehabilitation. Conclusion: Hospital-based (inpatient or outpatient) rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation interventions potentially improve post-PCI patients’ QoL, psychological well-being, cardiovascular capacity, social support, and adherence to CHD rehabilitation program. Standardized intervention guidelines need to be created in the future for each outcome of interest based on evidence-based findings so that specific interventions to improve the quality of life of CHD patients can be applied directly in daily practice. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10961 Title: The culture of caring for low birth weight infants at home after treatment: An ethnographic study from Indonesia Authors: Intan Rahayuningsih, Sri; Rustina, Yeni; Afiyanti, Yati; Eryando, Tris Abstract: Background: Caring for low birth weight (LBW) babies is a challenge for parents, especially after being discharged from the hospital, to continue the care provided by professional nurses. Culture can influence how parents behave and decide to keep babies healthy. Purpose: This study examined the culture that influences mothers in Aceh, Indonesia, to care for LBW infants at home following hospital treatment. Methods: This study used an ethnographic design that involved ten participants consisting of mothers who had an LBW infant after receiving hospital care, a grandmother, a midwife, and health cadres. The data were collected using focus group discussion (FGD). FGDs were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The finding revealed three themes associated with cultural practices influencing mothers to care for LBW infants at home following treatment: (1) mothers are not the only caregivers, (2) traditions to safeguard family members, and (3) the dilemma between obeying medical advice or their grandmother’s commands. Conclusion: Culture substantially impacts a mother’s decision-making, mainly when she and her infant are ill. For traditions and health advice to coexist, sufficient support is required. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10960 Title: The trend of research on oral hygiene in intubated patient based on bibliometric analysis Authors: Wening Setyoharsih, Titis; Saryono, Saryono; Jehloh, Latifah Abstract: Background: ICU patients with critical conditions are generally intubated due to their inability to breathe independently. These patients require assistance from nurses in meeting their basic needs, one of which is oral hygiene. ICU nurses use several protocols when doing oral hygiene in intubated patients. Purpose: This study was conducted to reveal the trend of research on oral hygiene in intubated patients in the last two decades through bibliometric analysis. Methods: This study is a quantitative research. The research publications were collected from the Scopus and PubMed databases through the Publish or Perish application. Then, for further analysis, the VOSViewer application was used to create visualization maps of co-occurring terms that include the research themes. Results: There were a total of 88 publications from two databases in the last two decades that discussed oral hygiene in intubated patients. Visualization in VOSViewer illustrates five main clusters on oral hygiene-intubated patients. Most of the publication themes were oral hygiene protocols and the relationship between the oral hygiene and VAP incidence. However, suction toothbrush as one of the oral hygiene protocol did not appear in the cooccurring terms in the first search; therefore, the researchers conducted a separate search about this term. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the most common themes used are oral hygiene protocols and the relationship between oral hygiene and VAP in the last two decades. However, research on suction toothbrush as one of the protocols is still lacking, so it can be used as a novelty in conducting further research 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
