Integrated health post (posbindu) is a place for the elderly to obtain various health services to improve their quality of life.  The satisfaction of the health care volunteers (cadres) has an important role in the success of the posbindu. The higher the cadre’s satisfaction, the higher the performance in managing the posbindu. According to Herzberg, two factors that contributed to the work satisfaction, namely motivator factor and hygiene factor. Identifying these factors is important, so that cadres can remain active and satisfy in doing their work in the posbindu. The purpose of this study was to explore the components of cadres’ satisfaction in providing health services in the posbindu based on Herzberg's factors A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted on 12 active and 6 inactive cadres in 16 posbindu, Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia. A purposive sampling was performed to select the posbindu and the cadres. Data collection was carried out by an in-depth interview to explore the work satisfaction factors based on the concept of the Herzberg theory. Triangulation was based on the result of active and inactive cadres interviews, as well as observation of the activities during the posbindu. This study discovered practicing religious teachings and social relations as two new components that can influence satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the workplace.

Background: An integral aspect of the school nurse's role is in safeguarding; therefore, they are uniquely placed to identify and assess adolescent's health and wellbeing. Aims: The aim of this study is to explore school nurses' experiences of safeguarding adolescence. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was undertaken with participants recruited from five NHS trusts across England, involving semi-structured telephone interviews, which were analysed and managed with the ATLASti software using a grounded theory approach. Findings: Four categories were identified in the study, one was related to education, and three were related to the school nursing role. These include targeted interventions, encountering increased numbers of safeguarding risks (such as child sexual exploitation and mental health in practice), and identifying safeguarding supervision and teamwork as key factors of support within their role. Conclusions: This study has provided an insight into the school nurses' role in safeguarding adolescents; however, further research still needs to be undertaken on this multifaceted area of practice.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the meaning of religion/religiosity for the elderly. Method: A qualitative, phenomenological study, based on Martin Heidegger. Thirteen older women registered in an Urban Social Center of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil aged between 60 and 84 years participated in the study. The collection of testimonies was carried out from November 2013 to May 2014 through phenomenological interviews. Results: Hermeneutics has unveiled the unit of meaning: Meanings of religion/religiosity in the daily life of the elderly. Religion/religiosity offers comfort and well-being to the elderly person, helping to overcome changes arising from the aging process. Final considerations: The nurse, while providing care, should expand his/her vision in relation to the subjectivity of the elderly, in order to understand that religion/religiosity gives meaning to their existence.

ABSTRACT Background: Government support has a role in increasing health program development. Cadre performance is important because they are responsible for implementing the integrated health posts (posyandu) program, especially in monitoring the growth and development of children under five. This study aimed to examine the effect of activity level of the integrated health post on the community health workers performance on child growth and development health services Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 25 posyandus in Karanganyar, Central Java, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 cadres was selected by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was cadre performance. The independent variables were education, employment, knowledge, attitude, training, tenure, posyandu facilities, social support, and village government support. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Posyandu cadre with good performance was 50.50%, had education ≥Senior high school was 63%, and working at home was 88%. Cadre performance on child growth and development health services increased with education ≥Senior high school (b= 1.27; 95% CI= 0.24 to 2.30; p= 0.015), working at home (b= 1.41; 95% CI= 0.39 to 2.42; p= 0.007), high knowledge (b= 1.53; 95% CI= 0.56 to 2.49; p= 0.002), positive attitude (b= 1.41; 95% CI= 0.33 to 2.50; p=0.011), had trained ≥2 times (b= 1.33; 95% CI= 0.37 to 2.29; p=0.007), tenure ≥10 years (b=1.21; 95% CI= 0.25 to 2.18; p= 0.014), good facilities (b= 1.57; 95% CI= 0.54 to 2.59; p= 0.003), strong social support (b= 1.28; 95% CI= 0.28 to 2.29; p= 0.013), and strong village government support (b=1.28; 95% CI= 0.26 to 2.31; p=0.014). Posyandu had strong contextual effect on cadre performance on child growth and development health services with intra-class correlation (ICC)= 27.55%. Conclusion: Cadre performance on child growth and development health services increases with high education, working at home, high knowledge, positive attitude, had trained ≥2 times, tenure ≥10 years, good facilities, strong social support, and strong village government support. Posyandu has strong contextual effect on cadre performance on child growth and development health services.

Integrated Health Post for the elderly (Posbindu) has been carried out to improve the health status of the elderly, but Posbindu’s utilization is still unsatisfactory. Satisfaction of the elderly towards the health care provided at the Posbindu contributed to their adherence. So far there is no instrument to measure the level of elderly satisfaction. The objectives of the study were to develop and assess the validity and reliability of the elderly satisfaction towards the integrated health post questionnaire using Rasch modeling. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 202 elderly from 16 Posbindu in Bandung, Indonesia. This study was performed from August to December 2019. The questionnaire was developed from a qualitative study, consisted of 36 items that covered the satisfaction concepts of structure, process, and output. Nine analytic tests were carried out, namely, the person fit order, person reliability, Cronbach's alpha, item reliability, item fit order, separation, the Wright map analysis, rating scale, and the differential item functioning as implemented by the Winstep version 3.73 software. Overall, the questionnaire demonstrated promising results. The overall value of person reliability was 0.93 with Cronbach's alpha of 0.96 and the value of item reliability was 0.94. However, 3 items were misfits and should be considered to be revised or removed. Further studies involving various regions in Indonesia should be carried out before this questionnaire is used in Indonesia

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the elderly's physical and mental health. The application of information and communication technology, such as mobile health (m-health), can play a significant role in combating this pandemic by changing the behavior and lifestyle of the elderly during this time of crisis. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to synthesize m-health capabilities in providing health services to the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify the factors associated with the success of these tools. METHODS To find the relevant studies, a search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria were: studies in English that used m-health intervention in all aspects of elderly healthcare during the COVID-19 outbreak, published in peer-reviewed journals from 31 December 2019, and had any research design and methodology. Two authors independently took all the steps of this review, and finally performed narrative synthesis to report the findings. RESULTS Our initial search identified 421 studies, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria. The data analysis showed that all the m-health interventions had positive effects on the health of the elderly. The m-health services for the elderly during the current pandemic were used for therapy, information provision, self-help, monitoring, and mental health consultation purposes. The results also indicated that various factors affected the elderly's use of m-health tools. CONCLUSIONS The application of m-health keeps the elderly and healthcare providers safe, accelerates health service provision, reduces the costs of service delivery, and decreases the risk of morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 outbreak. The successful use of m-health tools for the elderly in health programs during the current crisis greatly depends on supporting the elderly and overcoming the barriers.

Objective: This study explored stroke survivors’ experiences of altered body perception, whether these perceptions cause discomfort, and the need for clinical interventions to improve comfort. Design: A qualitative phenomenological study. Setting: Participants’ homes. Participants: A purposive sample of 16 stroke survivors were recruited from community support groups. Participants (median: age 59; time post stroke >2 years), were at least six-months post-stroke, experiencing motor or sensory impairments and able to communicate verbally. Interventions: Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were analysed using an interpretive phenomenological approach and presented thematically. Results: Four themes or experiences were identified: Participants described (1) a body that did not exist; (2) a body hindered by strange sensations and distorted perceptions; (3) an uncontrollable body; and (4) a body isolated from social and clinical support. Discomfort was apparent in a physical and psychological sense and body experiences were difficult to comprehend and communicate to healthcare staff. Participants wished for interventions to improve their comfort but were doubtful that such treatments existed. Conclusion: Indications are that altered body perceptions cause multifaceted physical and psychosocial discomfort for stroke survivors. Discussions with patients about their personal perceptions and experiences of the body may facilitate better understanding and management to improve comfort after stroke.

Qualitative Phenomenological Study

This qualitative phenomenological study examined the occupational downgrading experiences of six adult immigrants. Occupational downgrading happens when an individual’s occupation post immigration does not match his or her education credentials and previous professional experiences. The goal is to make sense of the participants’ narratives through the lens of possible selves theory. Therefore, the research questions guiding this study were (1) How do occupational downgrading experiences of immigrants shape their integration to the U.S. workforce? and (2) How can we make sense of the participants’ narratives through the lens of possible selves theory? Phenomenological interviews served as the main source for data collection. In addition, artifacts allowed the participants to enrich their stories. Themes that emerged from the participants’ occupational downgrading experiences include underemployment, shift in status, language barrier, feeling of discrimination, and lack of inspiration at the new job. Looking at past, present, and future selves, the participants’ narratives were examined first through identity transition processes: separation, transition, and reincorporation. The study adds to a developing body of literature focusing on the possible selves of adult immigrants experiencing occupational downgrading. In particular, they inform who is participating in adult education. Likewise, this study centralizes the immigrant as participant to adult learning; it provides new narratives of adults in transition.

Studies dealing with the experiences of non-offending mothers from the general population and minority groups after their child’s disclosure of sexual abuse are scarce, and studies on mothers from the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community are non-existent. This study takes an initial step in filling this gap by exploring how the normalization of sexual abuse shapes these mothers’ experiences. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted on a sample of 21 mothers from the ultra-Orthodox sector whose children had been sexually abused. It consisted of in-depth, semi-structured interviews of the mothers followed by a drawing task on their experience. The analysis of the interviews yielded four central themes: the role of social stigmatization and religion on the mother’s ability to share her child’s abuse; the effect of the disclosure on the mothers’ mental state and maternal competency; the mothers’ ongoing experience in the shadow of this unprocessed/unresolved trauma; and the mothers’ coping strategies, including acceptance, faith, and meaning making. The findings highlight the influence of the tension between the need to adhere to religious norms and preserve the social fabric and the need to enhance mothers’ and children’s well-being.
