Hospital procedures, such as infusions, are often associated with pain. Preschool-aged children who are hospitalized for infusions will often exhibit a strong fearful response because their concept of body integrity has not fully developed. One way to reduce the fear of infusion pain is by using stories as a distraction technique. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in the scale of pain between members of an intervention group, to which the distraction technique was applied, and a control group, to which it was not applied. The study used quasi-experimental methods, with intervention and control groups. The study was conducted on 46 preschool aged respondents (3-6 years old), divided into a 34 member intervention group and a 12 member control group and ran from September to December 2017 in one of the private hospitals in the East Bekasi. The research employed a questionnaire to collect demographic data and used the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale to assess pain levels. The data analysis technique used was the independent t-test. The results showed there was a difference of pain response between the intervention and control groups with P value < 0.05. Pediatric nurses are advised to use storytelling therapy as an option for providing atraumatic care intervention.  Keywords: Distraction Technique, Infusion installation, Pain, Stories, Preschool Abstrak Teknik Distraksi: Bercerita Menurunkan Nyeri Pada Anak Usia Pra Sekolah Selama Penggunaan Infus.

Introduction: Palpable breast lumps are one of the most prevalent breast problems in women who visit a doctor. Most of these lumps are benign, and many of these benign lumps, have cystic nature. One of the suggested treatments for breast cyst is vitamin B6 intake. So, this study aimed to determine the effect of vitamin B6 on reducing the number and the size of breast cysts and reducing the amount of recurrence after aspiration. Materials and Methods: This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial. Patients simply divided into two groups randomly, intervention group (receiving 150 mg vitamin B6 twice a day for two months) and control group (placebo). After data collection, the database produced, and information came in by SPSS-22 software. Descriptive results extracted in the form of tables and graphs. In all cases was used α=0.05. Results: At the end of the study, 65 patients (34 people in the intervention group, and 31 people in the control group) studied. At the end of the survey in the non-palpable cysts, was observed a significant decrease in the number and the size of breast cysts in each group receiving vitamin B6 or placebo. Still, the difference was not significant in comparing the two groups. 19 patients (2.29%) had palpable cysts that aspiration performed in all cases. After the study period, no recurrence of cysts observed in any of the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: The study showed that vitamin B6 had no effect on reducing the size and the number of non-palpable breast cysts and prevent recurrence of palpable cysts after aspiration.

Abstract Background Service satisfaction ratings from clients are a good indicator of service quality. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of communication skills and self-efficacy training for healthcare workers on clients’ satisfaction. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted in health centers of Saveh University of Medical Science in Iran. Primary Healthcare (PHC; N = 105) workers and service recipients (N = 364) were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received four 90-min training sessions consisting of lecture, film screening, role-playing, and discussion group. Before and 3 months after the intervention, a multi-part questionnaire (including demographics, self-efficacy and communication skills in PHC workers; and satisfaction questionnaire in service recipients) was completed by participants in both intervention and control groups. Results PHC worker mean scores of self-efficacy and communication skills after the educational program were increased in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Also, mean satisfaction scores for service recipients of the intervention group (PHC workers) generally significantly increased compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusions The educational program improved the self-efficacy, and communication skills in health workers and improved client satisfaction overall. Our results support the application of self-efficacy and communication skills training for other medical groups who wish to improve clients satisfaction as an important health services outcome.

Background and Aim: Thrombophlebitis is considered as a major cause of peripheral intravenous catheters (PICs) failure. The flushing technique in the laboratory has been effective in clearing the catheter duct, but its effectiveness in the clinical setting is unknown, therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of pulsatile flushing on phlebitis, type, and duration of PICs patency in patients. Materials and Methods: In this double-blind clinical trial, 71 patients admitted to the inpatient and surgical wards of Imam Khomeini Esfarayen Hospital were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups after sampling by available methods. In the intervention group, the flushing technique was performed by injecting 1 ml of the normal saline solution for one second, then interrupting less than one second and repeating the injection and interrupting until the end of 5 ml of the solution. The Consequences of this study were phlebitis, duration, and type of PICs patency, which were evaluated every 12 hours by using Jackson's phlebitis instrument and direct observation of the catheter. Results: The incidence of phlebitis in the intervention group was lower than the control group (P<0.001). In addition, two groups had a statistically significant difference in the type of PICs (P<0.001). The median duration of PICs patency in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Pulsatile flushing is an effective technique to increase longevity of PICs and recommended as a practical method in clinical setting.

Abstract Background Mental health experts believe that stigma is the most challenging issue for caregivers of clients with psychiatric disorders. Therefore, monitoring and assessing the affiliate stigma in the caregivers is necessary. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of psycho-education program on the affiliate stigma in the caregivers of clients with bipolar disorder. Materials and Methods This quasi-experimental study with both intervention and control groups was conducted Ghods Hospital in Sanandaj (n = 64). Psycho-education program was performed for the intervention group for 4 weeks (one session per week for 60 to 90 minutes). Data was collected using the Affiliate Stigma Scale before and after intervention (with 4 weeks gap). Results The results of study showed that there was no difference between intervention and control groups in terms of the distribution of contextual variables. The mean and the standard deviation of the affiliate stigma before the conducting the psycho-education program in the control group was (73 ± 14.72), and in the intervention group was (69.63 ± 14.66). After the intervention and administrating the post-test, the results in the control group was (74 ± 14.21) and in the intervention group was (35.06 ± 8.31) which showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Conclusions According to the obtained results in this study and based on the other studies’ result, the routine care is not able to meet the educational needs of the caregivers of clients with bipolar disorder. Psycho-education is effective on the reduction of the affiliate stigma of caregivers of clients with bipolar disorder and it can be considered as one of the stigmatization strategies.

IntroductionConsidering the shortcomings of antipsychotics in treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients, the use of augmentation treatment for decreasing the negative symptoms is highly important.AimsThe aim of this research was to study the effect of selegiline augmentation with antipsychotic drugs in decreasing the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients.MethodsIn this double blind randomized control trial study 70 schizophrenic in- patients who were under treatment with antipsychotics were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. The patients of both groups were given placebo for two weeks along with antipsychotics. For 12 weeks the intervention group was given selegiline 10 mg/day and control group was given placebo. The patients were evaluated with PANSS scale and Hamilton depression test at the end of first and second weeks and then at the end of every other week for twelve weeks. Then the results were analyzed statistically.ResultsThere was no significant difference between intervention and control groups considering PANSS score on first and second weeks, but the difference on 4-14 weeks was statistically significant. There was also no statistically significant difference in Hamilton depression Test between the two groups in first to 10 Th weeks. But the difference was statistically significant in 12–14 weeks.ConclusionsAugmentation treatment with selegiline can improve the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study is to examine, based on theory of change, whether integrated leading-managing-and-governing for results model is plausible cause of improved institutional delivery.MethodsA team-based quasi-experimental study was conducted. One-hundred-thirty-four health facility teams were enrolled in the study. Teams were allocated to intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio, non-randomly. End line institutional delivery was the dependent variable while the group (main predictor) and the baseline institutional delivery (covariate) were independent variables. The intervention that was given over six months was integrated leading-managing-and-governing for results model. The institutional deliveries were measured with percentages whilst the group was measured with exposure status (yes or no) to the intervention. Data, from both groups, were collected at baseline and end line. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. Statistical significance was determined at (p<.05). The main effect of the intervention was determined by 95% CI, presented in the contrast results.ResultsThe adjusted mean institutional deliveries with 95% CI were 47.4 (46.2, 48.6) and 33.4 (32.2, 34.6) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Contrast results showed that having an intervention group, p = .000, 95% CI (12.2, 15.8), of integrated leading-managing-and governing for results model significantly increased mean institutional delivery compared to having a control group.ConclusionsThis study provides some guidance regarding the plausible causation of integrated leading-managing-and-governing for results model on institutional delivery. It would serve as a baseline in identifying true causation using a randomized design.

ABSTRACT Reducing maternal and neonatal mortality still have many challenges. One of the Ministry of Health’s strategy is to collaborate with universities through the assitance of pregnant women by students. This study aims to determine the effect of students’mentoring on increasing knowledge of pregnant women on dangerous sign of pregnancy, postnatal and newborns. The study is an operational research with quasi-experimental design that was conducted in seven districts/cities in Indonesia. Two Puskesmas were chosen for each district and it categorized as intervention and control group with the number of samples was 280 pregnant women for each group. The results of pre-test showed no difference in the level of knowledge about the dangerous signs of pregnancy, postnatal and newborns between the intervention and control groups, but after mentoring there were significant differences (p-value <0.001). The logistic regression results show that mothers in the intervention group had a 33% higher chance of having good knowledge about the dangerous signs of pregnancy; 92% higher knowledge about dangerous signs of postnatal and 78% higher knowledge about dangerous signs of newborns compared to control group. Therefore, student mentoring can be used as an alternative method of delivering information to increase the knowledge of pregnant women.

Salah satu strategi Kementerian Kesehatan adalah berkolaborasi dengan Perguruan Tinggi melalui kegiatan pendampingan ibu hamil oleh mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendampingan terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang bahaya kehamilan, nifas dan bayi baru lahir. Penelitian ini merupakan riset operasional berdesain quasi experiment yang dilaksanakan di tujuh Kabupaten/Kota di Indonesia. Tiap Kabupaten/Kota dipilih dua Puskesmas, satu Puskesmas sebagai lokasi intervensi dan satu Puskesmas lain sebagai kontrol. Besar sampel adalah 280 orang ibu hamil pada masing-masing kelompok intervensi dan kontrol. Hasil pretest menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan tingkat pengetahuan tanda bahaya kehamilan, nifas dan bayi baru lahir diantara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol, namun setelah pendampingan terdapat perbedaan signifikan (p-value <0.001). Hasil regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa ibu di kelompok intervensi memiliki peluang 33% lebih tinggi untuk memiliki pengetahuan baik tentang tanda bahaya kehamilan; 92% lebih tinggi pengetahuan tanda bahaya nifas dan 78% lebih tinggi pengetahuan tanda bahaya bayi baru lahir dibandingkan ibu kelompok kontrol. Oleh sebab itu, pendampingan mahasiswa dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu alternatif metode penyampaian informasi untuk menngkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil.    Kata kunci: Pendampingan, ibu hamil, mahasiswa, tanda bahaya kehamilan, nifas dan bayi baru lahir
