Title: The Relationship of Online Learning and Information Technology with Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Abilities Authors: Awaludin, Sidik; Chatib Warsa, Usman; Soemardjo, Soetrisno; Nurachmah, Elly; Atmawikarta, Arum; Novitasari, Dwi Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on education in nursing programs. Changes in the learning system were followed by changes in learning methods and information technology as a means of support. In fact, mastery of learning methods and information technology support is still not optimal. To improve students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor capacities, lecturers must grasp numerous learning approaches and information technology. This study aimed to examine the relationship of mastery of online learning methods and information technology assistance with nursing students’ cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor capacities in Indonesia. The design of this study was a cross-sectional internet-based survey. The instrument was an online questionnaire using a Google Docs form. The sample size was 582 participants. Simple random sampling was used as the sampling technique. Statistical analysis used Pearson’s correlation test. In terms of education level, the results of the research show that the majority of the participants are from the diploma level (44.2%), followed by undergraduate (26.1%), professional nursing (18.6%), master (8.8%), specialist (1.4%), and doctoral (1.0%). A significant relationship (p < 0.05) was found between mastery of online learning methods and information technology support and cognitive and psychomotor abilities in a positive direction. No relationship was found with affective abilities. Mastery of learning methods and information technology support were correlated with the achievement of cognitive and psychomotor abilities. Specific online learning methods are needed to achieve students’ effective abilities

Title: Family Perceptions of Palliative Care for Advanced-Stage Cancer Patients at Home Authors: Dasat, Mariam; Mulyono, Sigit; Khasanah, Uswatul; Maman Hermawan, Stepanus Abstract: Family assistance with palliative care for advanced cancer patients is very important in optimizing patients’ quality of life. The purpose of this study was to explore family perceptions of palliative service provision to advanced cancer patients at home. The study adopted a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach based on in-depth interviews with six participants. The main theme that emerged was family perceptions of participation in palliative care programs for cancer patients at home. There were three subthemes: family administering additional treatment, the patient being resigned to and accepting their condition, and the patient being helped by treatment. The families’ perceptions of caring for cancer patients at home were positive, and the patients demonstrated adaptive coping in dealing with their diseases. Family assistance to advanced cancer patients requires support from health workers as well as palliative cadres in the form of training on how to treat cancer patients and be good companions, as this can improve patients’ quality of life

Effectiveness of Massive Open Online Course on Risk Communication Knowledge in Global Health Emergencies Among Nurses

Title: Effectiveness of Massive Open Online Course on Risk Communication Knowledge in Global Health Emergencies Among Nurses Authors: Thandar Aung, Khin; Abdul Razak, Rafiza; Fadli Zulkafley, Muhammad Abstract: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have transformed education. The minimal usage of MOOCs in nursing education reveals a lack of continuous healthcare professional development. Although MOOCs are recognized as a viable means of continuing education for healthcare professionals, their application and content specifically tailored to healthcare have remained unexplored. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a dedicated Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) designed to enhance nurses' risk communication knowledge in global health emergencies through testing with a small nurse sample in a pilot trial. This preliminary examination seeks participant feedback and insights. A quasi-experimental research design was conducted, employing a one-group pre-test and post-test design using the convenience sampling method with 40 registered nurses from the medical center of International Islamic University Malaysia. These nurses engaged in a four-week MOOC hosted on i-Taleem (the university's eLearning platform), focusing on knowledge about risk communication. Pre- and post-course questionnaires were administered, and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0's paired t-test. The study showed a significant improvement in test scores with a p-value of 0.022, which is less than the predetermined significance level of 0.05. Consequently, the alternate hypothesis (HA) is accepted, signifying a substantial improvement in nurses' knowledge of risk communication in global health emergencies. Additionally, this study provides the framework for the widespread implementation of such instructional interventions in nursing education and professional development.

Early Detection and Intervention of Preschool-Aged Children Using Android-Based Monitoring during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Central Java

Title: Early Detection and Intervention of Preschool-Aged Children Using Android-Based Monitoring during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Central Java Authors: Lestari, Triwiji; Elisa, Elisa Abstract: Preschool age is widely recognized as a critical phase in child development, often referred to as the golden period, the window of opportunity, and the critical period. Alarming statistics from the Indonesian Ministry of Health reveal that 16% of Indonesian toddlers, amounting to 0.4 million children, experience developmental delays, encompassing fine and gross motor skills, hearing impairments, reduced cognitive abilities, and speech delays. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an Android-based early detection and intervention system on the development of preschool children during the challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic in Central Java. The research employed a quasi-experimental design without a control group using a range of instruments, including observation sheets, the Sahabat Bunda application, the pre-screening developmental questionnaire (PDQ), and anthropometric measurements. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test because the data were not normally distributed. The study’s results underscore a significant influence between the initial developmental status of children and their subsequent progress following developmental intervention, with a remarkable p-value of 0.001. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that providing developmental intervention positively impacts the overall development of preschool children. This study substantially benefits the community, specifically preschool-age children and their parents. The utilization of the Sahabat Bunda application emerges as a valuable tool for early detection of developmental issues and to foster the growth of preschool-age children. This research contributes to enhancing child development, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
