Health Promoting Lifestyle

Introduction: The role of health promoting-lifestyle in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases that is global epidemics cannot be emphasis. This study examined resources available in a university that enhance and maintain health-promoting lifestyle behaviour of staff and explore factors influencing health-promoting lifestyle behaviour of staff. Methods: The study adopted a qualitative descriptive study design. The study setting was a university with multiple satellite campuses and a staff total of 2,657 at the time of data collection. Data were collected from both academic and non-academic staff of the university through in-depth interviews. Data were analysed using content analysis and Nvivo version 11 was used for data management. Results: Health promotion resources available in the institution were a health facility, a nutritional facility and a physical and fitness facility. The findings revealed that factors influencing health-promoting lifestyle behaviour of staff were lack of institutional health policy and protocol, work overload, lack of planned and consistent health promotion awareness, and economic factors. The majority of our participants did not see health facilities as a means of health promotion; instead they saw it as a resource to be used when they were sick rather than for health promotion services like health screening. Conclusion: The study concluded that institutional health policy and protocol is key in improving the health of workers. Healthy workers made a healthy institution and for institutional aim to be achieved, workers need to be healthy. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on preventive management than curative management.

ObjectiveTo develop a multidimensional framework representing patients’ perspectives on comfort to guide practice and quality initiatives aimed at improving patients’ experiences of care.DesignTwo-stage qualitative descriptive study design. Findings from a previously published synthesis of 62 studies (stage 1) informed data collection and analysis of 25 semistructured interviews (stage 2) exploring patients’ perspectives of comfort in an acute care setting.SettingCardiac surgical unit in New Zealand.ParticipantsCulturally diverse patients in hospital undergoing heart surgery.Main outcomesA definition of comfort. The Comfort ALways Matters (CALM) framework describing factors influencing comfort.ResultsComfort is transient and multidimensional and, as defined by patients, incorporates more than the absence of pain. Factors influencing comfort were synthesised into 10 themes within four inter-related layers: patients’ personal (often private) strategies; the unique role of family; staff actions and behaviours; and factors within the clinical environment.ConclusionsThese findings provide new insights into what comfort means to patients, the care required to promote their comfort and the reasons for which doing so is important. We have developed a definition of comfort and the CALM framework, which can be used by healthcare leaders and clinicians to guide practice and quality initiatives aimed at maximising comfort and minimising distress. These findings appear applicable to a range of inpatient populations. A focus on comfort by individuals is crucial, but leadership will be essential for driving the changes needed to reduce unwarranted variability in care that affects comfort.

At present the development of technology and information has reached a very rapid level. Technology and information are used as a service media in the government environment which is also known as e-Government, one of which is the service of public information disclosure. The central government through Law No. 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information, encourages all Public Agencies including the Sleman Regency Government to make transparency in the administration of the state by utilizing information technology. This research is a qualitative descriptive study which aims to describe the reality that occurs. The object of research in this study is the official website of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) of Sleman Regency with the domain https://ppid.slemankab.go.id then the Sleman Regency Communication and Informatics Office as the organizer of the public information disclosure program. The data collection technique itself is carried out by means of interviews, documentation studies, and field observations (observations). After collecting and presenting data, then the data will be reduced first then analyzed and concluded. From the results of the study, in general the researchers concluded that the Sleman Regency PPID website had reached the level of qualification to become a quality website, however there were still some improvements and evaluations that had to be done by the relevant agencies in order to be better, namely (i) the website was still being assessed as a one-way service (ii) There are still many OPDs that are not ready to implement PPID (iii) data and information are still not updated (iv) lack of responsiveness of services in requests for information.

Suboptimal Breastfeeding

Weight stigmatization is related to emotional and psychological distress including low self-esteem, body image dissatisfaction, depression, and anxiety; all linked with suboptimal breastfeeding outcomes. This qualitative descriptive study explored postpartum individuals’ recalled experiences of weight stigma during interactions with perinatal healthcare professionals and its perceived influence on their breastfeeding experiences. Semi-structured phone interviews were conducted with (n= 18) participants. Three themes emerged: (1) “Size Doesn’t Matter: They Looked Beyond the Scale,” (2) “My Self-Confidence and Desire to Breastfeed is More Important than Weight,” and (3) “I Was on My Own”— Limited Social Support not Weight Stigma Influenced Breastfeeding.
