Student's Satisfaction on Online Nursing OSCE (ON-OSCE) Assessment Application

Background: Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is one of the final assessment components for nursing students. OSCE assessment uses the ON-OSCE (Online Nursing OSCE) application to fulfill the need and overcome the manual OSCE assessment challenges using papers. The manual OSCE assessment with multiple checklists is very detailed and takes a long time in scoring. Besides, the evaluation using papers tends to cause a miscalculation in scoring a total of ratings that can harm the student.Method: This research is a non-experimental study with a descriptive design and cross-sectional approach. The samples were 480 respondents of nursing students. The instrument of assessment of satisfaction was analyzed based on the score accuracy, time to retrieve score, and examiner's attention. Data analysis used descriptive frequency and percentage distributions. Results: Students' satisfaction based on the time to retrieve score revealed that 365 students (76%) were satisfied. Two hundred eighty-five students (59,4 %) were also satisfied with ON-OSCE related to the score accuracy. Regarding the examiners' attention, 273 students (56,9 %) felt the examiners ignored the students' actions. They focused on the laptop to provide an assessment. It could be due to the new ON-OSCE application for the examiners and their unfamiliarity with operating the application.Conclusion: Most students were satisfied with the assessment using the ON-OSCE application to retrieve scores and the score accuracy. However, they were less satisfied with the examiners' attention. The examiners should be more familiar with the ON-OSCE

Stress Management Training for Working, Elderly, and Health Cadre Women : Rumah Pendamping Emak Sehat Jiwa

Emotional mental disturbances occur more often in adult women due to the influence of the estrogen hormone. Working women tend to have more burdens than women who do not work. Mental emotional disturbance in women, such as stress and anxiety, can interfere with their productivity and lead to depression. The aim of this social empowerment is to do mental health screening and management stress training i.e. deep breathing, the five-finger hypnosis, and progressive muscle relaxation in order to reduce the sign and symptom of stress and anxiety. Mental health screening was conducted using the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20). Initially, 44.2% of respondents experienced signs and symptoms of anxiety. After undergoing deep breathing training, the five-finger hypnosis, also progressive muscle relaxation for four meetings in one month, the signs and symptoms of stress and anxiety in women has decreased. The conclusion from this activity is stress management training with deep breathing, the five-finger hypnosis, and progressive muscle relaxation in adult and elderly women can reduce stress and anxiety levels

PELATIHAN SELF-ASSESSMENT DAN SELF-MANAGEMENT UNTUK PEKERJA MIGRAM INDONEDIA DI TAIWAN

Tingginya angka pekerja migran (PMI) wanita di Taiwan tanpa dibekali dengan pendidikan yang cukup membuat pekerja migran menjadi kelompok rentan yang mendapatkan perlakuan diskriminatif, minimnya akses pelayanan kesehatan, dan kekerasan atau pelecehan seksual. PMI yang menikah dengan warga lokal Taiwan pun juga sangat kurang mendapat akses informasi kesehatan dan pelayanan kesehatan yang mengakibatkan ibu hamil mengalami distress kehamilan. Kemampuan diri dalam melakukan pemeriksaan mandiri mampu mengidentifikasi kondisi kegawatan sejak dini, sehingga lebih cepat dalam mendapatkan penanganan.

A Review of the Plantar Pressure Distribution Effects from Insole Materials and at Different Walking Speeds

Among people with diabetes mellitus (DM), the two common strategies for decreasing peak plantar pressure (PPP) to reduce diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) risks are to modify walking speeds and to change insole materials. This study reviewed the PPP reduction based on various walking speeds and insole materials. The articles were retrieved from four major scientific databases and manual search. We identified 1585 articles, of which 27 articles were selected for full-text analysis. We found that in faster walking speeds, the forefoot PPP was higher (308 kPa) than midfoot (150 kPa) and rearfoot (251 kPa) PPP. The appropriate walking speed for reducing the forefoot PPP was about 6 km/h for non-DM and 4 km/h for DM people. The forefoot PPP in DM people was 185% higher than that of non-DM people. Ethylene&ndash;vinyl acetate (EVA) insole material was the most popular material used by experts (26%) in the forefoot and reduced 37% of PPP. In conclusion, the suitable walking speed for DM was slower than for non-DM people, and EVA was the most common insole material used to decrease the PPP under the forefoot. The clinicians might recommend DM people to walk at 4 km/h and wear EVA insole material to minimize the DFUs
