ABSTRAK Indonesia dikenal dengan negara yang memiliki beragam suku, budaya, dan bahasa. Pada tahun 2010, data jumlah penduduk Indonesia yang paling terakhir menyatakan jumlah penduduk Indonesia sebesar 237,56 juta jiwa dengan 85.1% nya beragama Islam dan 288.405 penduduknya berprofesi sebagai seorang perawat. Pemahaman perawat tentang keperawatan transkultural saat ini sangatlah dibutuhkan. Agama, salah satu dari tujuh faktor yang menurut Leininger memiliki andil besar dalam mempengaruhi perilaku dan sikap para perawat maupun para klien. Simanjuntak (2011) berdasarkan studi kualitatif mengutarakan 13 karakteristik yang perlu di validasi sebagai karakteristik dari perawat Islam saat melakukan perawatan kepada klien. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memvalidasi butir-butir gambaran identitas profesional perawat Islam Indonesia melalui rancang bangun dari lembar kaji. Desain dalam penelitian ini adalah validasi kuesioner terhadap faktor rancang bangun, dimensi dan construct validity. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan pilot study terlebih dahulu di Rumah Sakit Cibabat dan Rumah Sakit Imanuel dengan kemudian meminta responden untuk mengisi kuesioner serta memberikan komentar terhadap setiap butir-butir pernyataan, Data aktual berasal dari Rumah Sakit Santosa Bandung, Rumah Sakit Meilia Cibubur, dan Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Koja Jakarta dengan cara meminta responden untuk mengisi kuesioner. Sampel dipilih dengan menggunakan metode snowballing kepada perawat Islam Indonesia yang bekerja di Bandung dan Jakarta. Data dianalisa dengan Cronbach α, didapatkan hasil pada uji validitas terhadap 13 karakteristik identitas profesional perawat Islam Indonesia masing-masing memiliki nilai Cronbach α >0,70. Hasil penelitian ini menyarankan agar perawat Islam Indonesia dapat menjadi perawat yang profesional dalam mengkaji diri agar dapat menuju keperawatan lintas budaya yang berkompetensi.   Kata Kunci: Validasi, Identitas Profesional, Perawat Islam Indonesia.   ABSTRACT Indonesia is known as a country with diverse in ethnic, cultural, and dialect. The population of Indonesian as declared in 2010 is 237.56 million, with 85.1% of them are Muslims and 288.405 people work as nurses. Religion is one of the seven factors that according Leininger determined the behavior and attitudes of nurses and clients. Therefore, understanding of transcultural nursing is imperatively necessary. In a qualitative study, Simanjuntak (2011) states 13 characteristics of Indonesian Islam nurse professional identity need to be validated. This study conducted to validate the grains picture of Indonesian Islam nurses professional identity through the design of identity assessment tool. This study validates the identity assessment tool, its design, dimensions and the construct validity. Pilot study was done in the Cibabat Hospital and Immanuel Hospital, and the actual data were collected from Santosa Bandung Hospital, Meilia Cibubur Hospital, and the Koja General Hospital in Jakarta. Samples were selected using snow-ball method among Islam nurses who work in Bandung and Jakarta. The result obtained on the validity of the 13 characteristics of professional identity of Indonesian Islam professional nurses with the value of Cronbach α> 0.70. The results of this study suggest that Indonesian Islam nurses can become a professional nurse in assessing themselves in order to lead a cross-cultural nursing competence.

Network Composition

The article explores the relevance of intergenerational relationships within the overall network of young mothers and grandmothers in seven societies: Japan, Korea, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Israel, and Germany. The empirical base is 2,945 named network members in 249 pairs of interviews of grandmothers and their daughters from a cross-cultural pilot study. The network composition of both generations and the network activities with spouses, daughters, and mothers is described. The results confirm the high exclusivity and expressivity of the conjugal family in societies with an affinal kinship regime and the high, lifelong significance of instrumental and expressive exchange relationships between mothers and daughters in patrilineal societies. Furthermore, in all societies, common expressive activities are decisive for the perceived quality of the intergenerational relationships, whereas instrumental activities are without any influence even in those societies where they are of great importance for the intergenerational relationships.

BACKGROUND Taking evidence-based interventions to scale is a primary challenge for prevention science. Adapting an intervention to be multi-cultural is a useful pathway for scaling up interventions, particularly those that are school based. So too is finding simpler but powerful technological components to reduce overall cost without jeopardizing effectiveness. Mighty Girls is a sexual pressure resistance program developmentally and culturally tailored for 7th grade Latinas. The program combines classroom sessions with an interactive videogame that reinforces program concepts. However, both the exclusive focus on Latinas and game cost (currently relies on digital puppetry by trained inter-actors) limit dissemination. OBJECTIVE Create a multi-cultural program that uses a narrative phone app to reinforce program concepts and build resistance skills. Specific, adaptation goals included: (1) modify classroom lessons; (2) conduct a pilot study to evaluate feasibility and preliminary efficacy of classroom lessons; (3) develop a narrative app to reinforce curriculum content and build resistance skills; (4) conduct usability test of the app; and (5) assess parents’ views of lesson content and activities, and the app as well as their supervision of child's cell phone use. METHODS Consultation with 4 adult key informants, and a series of research activities involving 7th grade girls attending either a “development school” (n=14) or “pilot study school” (n=23), and parents (n=6) addressed adaptation goals. Activities included: focus groups, pilot study (one group pre-test post-test design), and usability testing. Pilot study self-report measures assessed resistance self-efficacy and intentions, and sexual intentions (including intention to delay intercourse). Usability testing self-report measures included the System Usability Scale (SUS), adapted for use with an app and for teens, an open-ended question soliciting suggestions for improving usability, and a 5-item Like scale for assessing engagement. RESULTS Qualitative analyses of interviews, focus groups, and responses to open-ended questions supported multicultural content, and identified simple changes to improve engagement and learning. These changes were supported by quantitative findings from the pilot study school. Preliminary program effectiveness was supported by a significant pre-post difference in intention to delay sexual intercourse (P=.04). A SUS score of 76 (exceeding 68, industry standard) and a “liking” score of 3.2 on a 4-point scale (SD=.60) supported usability and appeal. CONCLUSIONS Our multi-step adaptation process resulted in a multicultural program that is now paired with an app with good usability and engagement properties. Pilot study findings provided preliminary support for program effectiveness. Modifications identified for the app will be addressed in building out of the app as we move toward commercialization and are expected to increase intervention potency. The resulting program is suitable for universal uptake due to its focus on sexual pressure resistance rather than abstinence or comprehensive sex education.
