Structured educational app in improving self-care management in diabetes mellitus patients: systematic review
Self-care management is a process that does not only develop over time but evolves along with the experience of the type of illness. Successful self-management of diabetes mellitus depends on self-care motivation and self-awareness, specifically designed to control symptoms and avoid complications. This systematic review uses telehealth intervention and smartphone-based applications for diabetes mellitus patients with randomized control trial, qualitative, and cross-sectional studies obtained from six databases. This review included inclusion and exclusion criteria established using population, intervention, comparison, outcomes and study (PICOS) framework, and then data were extracted, reviewed, and assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Seventeen selected articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria passed the selection through the selection process shown in the flow chart, which all research results show an impact on self-care management. The use of technology especially the applications, is very influential and effective in increasing knowledge and self-care management of diabetes mellitus patients. Besides that, it can also save operational costs in providing interventions for people with diabetes mellitus, but further research is needed to look at the sustainability of structured educational applications on health outcomes
Indonesian nurses’ perception of disaster management preparedness
Purpose: Using a quantitative approach, this study aims to assess Indonesian nurses’ perception of their knowledge, skills, and preparedness regarding disaster management.
Methods: This study was a descriptive comparison in design. The research samples are Indonesian nurses working in medical services and educational institutions. The variables of nurses’ preparedness to cope with disaster victims were measured using the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET), which was electronically distributed to all nurses in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using a statistical descriptive one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test with a significance level of 95%. Results: In total,1341 Indonesian nurses completed this survey. The average scores of preparedness to cope with disasters, the ability to recover from disaster, and evaluation of disaster victims were 3.13, 2.53, and 2.46, respectively. In general, nurses surveyed in this study are less prepared for disaster management, and do not understand their roles either during the phase of disaster preparedness or in coping with a postdisaster situation.
Conclusion: Nurses’ preparedness and understanding of their roles in coping with disasters are still low
in Indonesia. Therefore, their capacity in preparedness, responses, recovery, and evaluation of disasters needs improvement through continuing education. The efforts needed are significant due to potential disasters in Indonesia.

Concept analysis of nurse retention
Nurse retention is widely acknowledged as a crucial international workforce issue, yet the concept remains ambiguous. This study focuses on a concept analysis in an
effort to clarify the attributes of nurse retention, including its antecedents and consequences. The Walker and Avant approach was applied to analyze the concept of
nurse retention. Four key attributes of nurse retention were identified in the analysis,
specifically motivation, intention, and individual decision; strategy and intervention;
geographic context; and attachment to work. Antecedents of nurse retention
included the healthcare system at the macro level, the health care facility, health personnel, and living conditions. Retention has consequences for individual nurses, the
healthcare organization, and the overall health system. Our concept analysis provides
clarification to better understand nurse retention along with its implications for the
healthcare workforce. The analysis further emphasizes the importance of retention
as a comprehensive priority issue for human resources when recruiting and
maintaining the nursing workforce internationally.

Development of an empowerment model for burnout syndrome and quality of nursing work life in Indonesia
Objectives: This study aimed to develop an empowerment model for burnout syndrome and quality of nursing work life (QNWL).Methods: This study adopted a mixed-method cross-sectional approach. The variables included structural
empowerment, psychological empowerment, burnout syndrome and QNWL. The population consisted of nurses who have civil servant status in one of the regional hospitals in Indonesia. The participants were recruited using multi-stage sampling measures with 134 respondents. Data were
collected using questionnaires, which were then analysed using partial least squares. A focus group discussion was conducted with nurses, chief nurses and the hospital management to identify strategic issues and compile recommendations. Results: Structural empowerment influenced psychological empowerment (path coefficient ¼ 0.440;
t ¼ 6.222) and QNWL (path coefficient ¼ 0.345; t ¼ 4.789). Psychological empowerment influenced burnout syndrome (path coefficient¼�0.371; t ¼ 4.303), and burnout syndrome influenced QNWL (path coefficient¼�0.320; t ¼ 5.102). Structural empowerment increased QNWL by 39.7%.
Conclusion: The development of a structural empowerment model by using the indicators of resources, support and information directly influenced the psychological empowerment of the sample of nurses. As an indicator of meaning, psychological empowerment decreased burnout syndrome. In turn, burnout syndrome, as the indicator of personal achievement, could affect the QNWL. Structural empowerment directly influenced the QNWL, particularly within the workplace context. Further studies must be conducted to analyse the effects of empowerment, leadership styles and customer satisfaction.© 2018 Chinese Nursing Association. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.

HIV-related knowledge level among Indonesian women between 15 years and 49 years of age
Background: Women are a highly vulnerable population for HIV-infection, influenced by biological, cultural, social and economic factors. Inadequate knowledge about the risk for exposure to HIV will impact the prevention and treatment of HIV.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine HIV-related knowledge among women in Indonesia and the associated demographic determinants that influence their access to accurate HIV-related information.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey in 2012. Level of HIV-related
knowledge was determined by analyzing nine items on the 2012 IDHS instrument.
Results: The percentage of women in Indonesia between the ages of 15 and 49 years of age, more than half (53.6%) had high score of HIV-related knowledge. The results from logistic regression showed that women aged 30-34 years old had 2.2 times higher knowledge level about HIV compared to older women. Married women, living in rural area, with a lower level of education, reported to have limited or no access to HIV related information; thus, had acorrespondingly lower knowledge level of
HIV.
Conclusion: Study findings underscore the lack of knowledge-level among Indonesian women about HIV, especially the prevention, transmission, and prevention mother to child transmission (PMCT)
