Background: There is a saying that "it's better to give than receive'' because giving or helping others releases us from the isolation of ourselves. The happiness level of people who donate money to charities or volunteer their time positively affects mental health. Adolescence is a critical period for attitude development. During adolescence, there is a growing shift of influence from the family to peers. Methods: The helping attitude was measured using a helping attitude scale, and happiness was measured using a subjective happiness scale from a convenient sample of 140 adolescents studying in selected high schools in Bagalkot in a cross-sectional design. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Findings indicate that levels of helping attitude among adolescents reveal that most adolescents (52.14%) had a high helping attitude, the remaining 47.85% had a moderate helping attitude, and no adolescent had a low helping attitude. Results depict that the total mean percentage of helping attitudes among adolescents was 79.57%, with a mean and SD of 79.5714±8.46. A chi-square test was calculated to assess the association of the level of helping attitude with their selected socio-demographic variables, and a significant association was found between the helping attitude and sex of adolescents (χ 2 =0.0101). The study's findings concluded that most adolescents had a high and moderate level of helping attitude, and most adolescents had a moderate and high level of happiness.

This article explores how the phenomenological frameworks of Edmund Husserl and Eugen Fink offer critical tools for analyzing the layered structure of reality, particularly as it pertains to psychology and psychiatry. Rather than reinforcing dichotomies between the real and the unreal, phenomenology provides a descriptive method that acknowledges the complexity, fluidity, and multiplicity of lived experience. In contexts marked by psychological, moral, or political conflict—where competing narratives attempt to dominate the definition of reality—phenomenology enables a more nuanced understanding that resists reduction. Drawing on Husserl’s distinction between intentional and immanent reality and Fink’s cosmic extension of phenomenological method, the article proposes a model for defending the integrity of subjective experience against imposed systems of meaning. This approach has both therapeutic and philosophical relevance, offering a way to support individuals whose sense of reality is fractured, while also fostering theoretical discourse that honors the full spectrum of human experience.

The purpose of this paper is to review various literature to explore the influence of workplace bullying in Indian organizations.  Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted the theoretical approach and centered on the participants' experiences, interpretations, and reactions toward bullying. Research articles from various geographical areas were reviewed for the purpose. The findings of various research articles were taken into account for making interpretations.  Findings: The study found that the workplace bullying is a universal threat across the world and it is also present in Indian organisations. It can be characterised as becoming aware, confused by mistreatment, assigning blame, using organisational resources and adapting existing circumstances. The findings of studies in Indian organizations and other countries emphasise essentiality of sense-making, network of social support, intricacy of coping mechanisms, employee motivations for keeping quiet and unfavorable and unhealthy impacts of bullying in the workplace as individual, societal and environmental factors all play a role in bullying experiences at workplace. The harassment experienced by the employees in the remote workplace displays all the elements of workplace bullying. The dynamics of bullying revealed certain influence on organizational functional activities.  Research Limitations/Implications: The study examined bullying from various perspective, however, these studies including many others areas would have added interesting insights into the findings on issues created at work place due to bullying.  Practical Implications: The findings point toward the arrogance of HRM practices in Indian organizations. A well expressed and applied antibullying policy may restrict arrogance of HRM practices in Indian organizations.  Originality/Value: The present study contributes to the limited literature on the process of workplace bullying by exploring the process in a new national context (India).

Clinical narcissism is evident in nearly one to two per cent of a country's population (p. xii). Thomas Erikson's Surround By Narcissists: Or, How To Stop Other People's Egos Ruining Your Life (2022) investigates two themes: firstly, narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in individuals and how to respond to it. Also mentioned are individuals who display narcissistic characteristics but have not been clinically diagnosed with NPD. The second theme explores the role and impact of collective narcissism and narcissistic culture. Emphasised is the increase in narcissistic behaviours in society, notably in social media. The author reviews these two themes and addresses questions about narcissism, its modern origins, and how to resist it. Erikson is a specialist in human behaviour, is a leadership trainer, and the author of popular psychology books and self-care.

Depuis les débuts de la psychiatrie, les infirmières et infirmiers ont
toujours été au coeur de la prise en charge des patients et patientes,
comme de la gestion des centres de soins. Or, l’histoire s’est peu
intéressée à eux. Minorité travaillant dans un domaine stigmatisé, au
sein d’une profession longtemps considérée comme subalterne, les
infirmières et infirmiers psychiatriques sont restés dans les placards
de l’histoire, souvent dans l’ombre des grands médecins. Pourtant,
il est impossible de comprendre les soins de santé mentale et leur
évolution sans prendre en compte ces professionnels et professionnelles
à part entière et le rôle central qu’ils y jouent. C’est ce que fait
cet ouvrage, en présentant une série d’essais historiques sur le
travail et les réalisations des infirmières et infirmiers psychiatriques
dans le monde francophone. Qu’ils soient hommes ou femmes,
laïques ou religieux, gardiens ou soignants, gestionnaires ou enseignants,

Video games, a dominant form of digital entertainment, elicit a spectrum of effects on players, encompassing both detrimental and advantageous outcomes. This systematic literature review explored the dual nature of gaming's influence, examining the well-documented negative consequences such as addictive behaviors, increased aggression, and potential social isolation, and addresses the positive impacts, including enhanced cognitive functions, improved spatial reasoning, and the development of online social communities. The review attained five essential themes: Enhanced Cognitive Flexibility and Skill Development, Boosted Psychological and Emotional Well-being, Improved Collaboration and Prosocial Behavior, Increased Aggression and Reduced Sensitivity to Real-world Violence, and Disrupted Social and Psychological Development. This paper underscored the need for balanced perspectives and informed approaches to video game consumption. To maximize benefits and minimize risks, gamers, parents, and educators should be aware of these effects. Adopting a balanced gaming habit involves setting limits, engaging in physical activities, and prioritizing social interactions. By being mindful of gaming's effects, gamers can enjoy benefits while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The article is dedicated to studying the impact of the cases causing trauma on the self – realization of students. The levels of the self – realization of students who often subject to traumas with different professions and who rarely subject to trauma are distinguished, and the impact of trauma on the level of their emotional tolerance and academic achievements is determined. It is established that there is an important relation between the self – realization of students with the events causing trauma and this relation is more evident at the levels of self – realization. The study shows that the young who are not subjected to a serious trauma have a high self – realization in comparison with others. Though their academic achievement is same, but creativity is higher in the young who are subjected to trauma less and they always think about the individual development. Procedural and content motives dominate in their activity and in reality, expresses itself as doing different work in...

The article examines the biological function of consciousness asso- ciated with learning, in particular with the acquisition of automatic skills. It is shown that it is necessary to distinguish consciousness in the process of learning, in the formation of conditioned reflexes, long-term memory and motivation, and in other situations. The re- lationship of the learning argument and the «hard problem of con- sciousness» is examined using the function of consciousness in the formation of conditioned reflexes as an example. It is concluded that in the case of learning, the «hard problem of consciousness» argu- ment does not work, since phenomenal consciousness here acts as exactly the condition required for the formation of a conditioned reflex. The evolutionary advantage of consciousness is discussed, due to which organisms are able to learn more easily and acquire automatic skills and long-term memory. It is also shown that the learning argument allows for a new interpretation of a number of neurobiological studies if consciousness is considered not as a re- sult of some neural processes or a causal cause, but as a factor influencing the statistics of neural processes in the brain in general.

Schizotypy as a research framework for schizophrenia emphasizes a link between the symptoms of the disorder and schizotypal traits in the non-clinical population, and argues for a symptom orientated approach to the field. One such symptom area concerns that of unusual experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions that occur in both schizophrenia and in the normal population, but differ in intensity and frequency. Hallucinations and delusions are affected by the environment in which they occur, such as a perceptually ambiguous environment. However, given that both hallucinations and delusions are misinterpretations of the current environment, the content of both could also be influenced by previous experiences, where properties of previous experiences interact with the current environment to produce such experiences. One factor that could influence hallucinations and delusions in this way is time. That is, it could be that those individuals more prone to hallucinations and delusions have stronger temporal links with the properties of previous experiences that facilitate hallucinatory and delusional experiences. The current thesis explores the relationship between the influence of environmental properties on hallucinatory reports and the possibility of differences in timing between individuals scoring high or low in schizotypy through tasks that incorporate temporal elements for optimum performance, such as time based schedules of reinforcement, or measure timing more directly, such as temporal bisection tasks. Findings from the thesis show that high schizotypy scorers make more hallucinatory-like reports than low scorers and that those reports are linked to properties of the environment in which they occur. In addition, there is some evidence that high scorers differ in timing across both schedule and temporal bisection tasks, but only under very specific circumstances.

COVID-19 pandemic situation compelled dramatherapists to identify a novel mode of practicing dramatherapy, since social distancing was a strict policy, in Sri Lanka. To minimize the risk of coronavirus threat, both the dramatherapist and the client had to remove themselves from the conventional dramatherapy room, and resort to a safe space in virtual reality, to conduct therapy. The alternative means for the practice were digital platforms, such as WhatsApp, Skype, Imo, and Botim. This study aimed to answer the following research question: How effective is dramatherapy, as a digitized practice, during COVID-19 period, in Sri Lanka? As a convenient sample, a number of five clients who received dramatherapy assistance through digital platforms were selected for this study. They presented mental health difficulties related to work stress, anger, separation anxiety, fear of losing the job, and anxiety attacks. Their consent was obtained to utilize data arising from post-intervention semi-structured interviews, to answer the research question. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically, and four super-ordinate themes emerged in the analysis, namely, digital containment, digital platform for interaction, creativity in a digital space, and recovery of an independent agent. During the COVID-19 period, the client could utilize a digital platform as a meeting place with the dramatherapist, and form interaction to enhance social engagement. Digital platforms supported space for client's creativity, improving self-confidence, encouraging self-expression, and motivating towards creative resolution of emotional difficulties. Ethical concerns emerged, as digital platforms do not guarantee the security of data and privacy of the clients. Despite these limitations, digitizing the practice of dramatherapy was beneficial for the clients to emerge from their psychological and emotional difficulties, during the COVID-19 period.

Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) adalah perlengkapan yang digunakan untuk melindungi pekerja dari berbagai risiko yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan dan keselamatan mereka saat bekerja. APD berfungsi sebagai penghalang antara pekerja dan potensi bahaya seperti cedera fisik, paparan bahan kimia, debu, atau infeksi. Dalam lingkungan kerja petugas cleaning service, beberapa jenis APD yang umum digunakan meliputi pakaian kerja, sepatu pelindung, masker, dan sarung tangan. Pakaian kerja dirancang untuk melindungi tubuh dari kotoran dan paparan bahan berbahaya, sementara sepatu kerja membantu mencegah cedera akibat tergelincir atau terkena benda tajam. Masker digunakan untuk melindungi saluran pernapasan dari debu dan partikel berbahaya, sedangkan sarung tangan berfungsi untuk melindungi tangan dari bahan kimia atau benda tajam yang dapat menyebabkan luka. Penggunaan APD yang benar dan konsisten sangat penting untuk mengurangi risiko kecelakaan kerja dan penyakit akibat kerja. Oleh karena itu, kepatuhan dalam menggunakan APD harus terus ditingkatkan melalui penyediaan perlengkapan yang nyaman, edukasi mengenai pentingnya keselamatan kerja, serta pengawasan yang ketat di tempat kerja.

Ţin să apreciez dintru început apariţia "Ghidului de nursing cu tehnici de evaluare şi îngrijiri corespunzătoare nevoilor fundamentale" şi să mulţumesc totodată, bine cunoscutei autoare Lucreţia Titircă şi la fel de valoroaselor sale colaboratoare, pentru această lucrare atât de utilă nu numai învăţământului de nursing de la noi din ţară, ci şi tuturor asistentelor şi asistenţilor medicali oriunde s-ar afla, studenţilor în medicină, medicilor de familie şi oricărei persoane interesate să prevină îmbolnăvirile, să acorde primul ajutor sau să trateze şi să vindece multe dintre îmbolnăvirile cu care ne confruntăm astăzi. Mulţumesc, de asemenea, Editurii "Viaţa Medicală Românească"atât de receptivă în editarea şi difuzarea acestor manuale de bază pentru dezvoltarea şi aprofundarea studiilor de nursing. Au trecut două decenii de când OMS a lansat sloganul "Sănătate pentru toţi în anul 2000". în cadrul Sesiunii internaţionale de atunci, la care au participat 134 de ţări membre, a fost subliniat locul aparte pe care-l ocupă cadrele sanitare medii, ca fiind grupul cel mai important, mai apropiat de populaţie şi care poate influenţa legătura între sisteme şi cerinţe. lată că, acum, în pragul mileniului III, omenirea nu se poate felicita că a eradicat principalele boli infecto-contagioase şi cu extindere în masă şi nici că a stăvilit drumul spre cronicizarea foarte multor maladii (boli cardiovasculare, oncologice etc), care determină scăderea duratei medii de viaţă şi a speranţei de supravieţuire. Reorientarea către profilaxia primară impune noi metodologii în conceptul de pregătire, inclusiv pentru munca de prevenire şi combatere a bolilor infecto-contagioase, cum ar fi: hepatitele (A, B, C, D), tuberculoza, BTS (boli cu transmitere sexuală), bolile ocazionate de deprinderi nociveutilizarea alcoolului, a fumatului şi a drogurilor majore. Toate acestea se petrec cu o recrudescenţă nebănuită în perioada de tranziţie către integrarea în UE a ţărilor din sudestul Europei, printre care şi România, lată de ce nevoia de formare a cât mai multor absolvente în cadrul şcolilor de nursing devine cu atât mai acută cu cât şi ţările cu un standard de viaţă mai ridicat din Vest solicită cu insistenţă asemenea profesionişti, mai cu seamă din ţara noastră. Există, astăzi, foarte multe puncte pe globul pământesc în care se consumă tensiuni sociale şi politice sau au loc războaie, terorismul fiind încă activ în numeroase zone ale lumii. Există o creştere a pragmatismului şi a competiţiei loialedar şi neloiale -în viaţa socială. Există şi o polarizare a nivelului de trai al oamenilor, o creştere a criminalităţii (organizate), a penetraţiei consumului de droguri, o revoluţie a sexualizării (în sensul rău al cuvântului), a delincventei minorilor şi a tulburărilor psihice, ca o consecinţă a tuturor celor menţionate anterior. Programele dorite terapeutice, profilactice sau recuperatorii în domeniul ocrotirii sănătăţii nu se pot realiza fără munca în echipă şi fără prezenţa braţelor devotate şi calde ale nurselor. De curajul, abnegaţia şi dăruirea acestora este atât de mare nevoie acum, pentru ca fata lumii să fie ceva mai luminoasă. Şcoala Sanitară Postl/ceală "Carol Davila", care are 34 de filiale în judeţele ţării, se poate mândri cu faptul de a fi fost admisă în Consiliul European de Nursingînfiinţat în 1899, cu sediul la Londra -, în anul 1999, şi aceasta datorită standardelor pe care le-a onorat anual prin prezenţa delegaţilor săi la manifestările internaţionale. A trecut un secol pe parcursul căruia obiectivul său de bază a fost urmărit cu consecvenţă: menţinerea îngrijirilor (prestaţii proprii cadrelor medii sanitare) la cel mai înalt nivel în toate ţările lumiimembre şi nemembreprin educaţie, legi şi practica profesioniştilor. De-a lungul anilor, Comitetul Internaţional pentru Nursing s-a preocupat, împreună cu asociaţiile, de studiul activităţilor deosebite privind nursingul, a încurajat activitatea publicistică şi a iniţiat numeroase acţiuni alături de alte foruri naţionale şi internaţionale (OMS, UNESCO, UNICEF etc). Depunerea jurământului la absolvirea şcolii a fost un timp practicată şi în ţara noastră şi reluată şi de către Şcoala Sanitară Postliceală "Carol Davila" după decembrie 1992. Unul dintre texte, denumit în semn de mare preţuire "Jurământul lui Florence Nightingale", este următorul: "Mă leg cu trup şi suflet, în faţa lui Dumnezeu şi faţă de această adunare, că-mi voi petrece viaţa în cinste şi că voi practica profesia mea cu loialitate. Mă voi feri de tot ceea ce este rău şi dăunător şi nu voi întrebuinţa şi nu voi da cu bună ştiinţă vreun leac vătămător. Voi face tot ce stă în putinţa mea spre a păstra şi ridica drapelul profesiei mele şi voi ţine în taină tot ceea ce mi se va încredinţa, precum şi tot ce voi afla din treburile familia/e în timpul profesiei mele. Mă voi strădui să-i ajut cu loialitate pe medici în tratamentul prescris de ei şi mă voi devota celor pe care îi îngrijesc". Mi-aş mai îngădui să adresez prin această prefaţă un apel către cele trei departamente: Ministerul Sănătăţii şi Familiei, Ministerul Educaţiei şi Cercetării, Ministerul Muncii şi Solidarităţii Sociale, să încurajeze învăţământul de nursing şi, în urma controlului CNEAIP (Consiliul Naţional pentru Evaluarea şi Acreditarea învăţământului Preuniversitar), să crească numărul de locuri în învăţământul postliceal sanitar la toate disciplinele, inclusiv în cel de Asistenţă socială. Felicitând încă o dată pe autoare şi pe reprezentanţii Editurii "Viaţa Medicală Românească" pentru munca lor deosebită, le doresc acel atribut pe care medicina Antichităţii îl asimilează celui mai eficient tratament: zâmbetul. "Un zâmbet nu costă nimic, dar poate oferi mult. El ia numai o clipă, dar amintirea lui dăinuie uneori pentru todeauna. Un zâmbet aduce fericire în casă, bunăvoinţă în muncă, este semnul prieteniei. Un zâmbet nu poate fi împrumutat, cumpărat sau cerşit, pentru că el nu are valoare pentru nimeni până când nu este dăruit". Unii oameni sunt prea obosiţi ca să mai dăruiască un zâmbet. Dăruiţi-le voi unul pentru că nimeni nu are mai mare nevoie decât cel care nu-l mai poate dărui. Dr. Mioara MINCU, medic primar, director general al Şcolii Sanitare Postliceale "Carol Davila" ÎMBINAREA ŞTIINŢEI CU VOCAŢIA DE NURSĂ îndreptarul de faţă se adresează în egală măsură cursanţilor de la şcolile sanitare post/iceale şi asistenţi/or medicali (profesori de nursing sau practicieni). Conceptul de îngrijire prezentat aici are la bază modelul elaborat de Virginia Henderson, completat, cu elemente dintr-o largă bibliografie de specialitate. Acest model îi poate ajuta pe asistenţii medicali să se apropie şi să-i cunoască mai bine pe beneficiarii îngrijirilor, să ofere îngrijiri mai bune, individualizate, complete şi continue. De altfel, aceasta este direcţia în care se orientează învăţământul sanitar, în formarea de bază şi continuă. Elaborarea acestei lucrări a presupus mult curaj din partea autoarelor, dat fiind faptul că după 1989 au apărut la noi în ţară o serie de surse de informaţii despre nursing şi procesul de îngrijire, lucrări elaborate de autori americani, englezi, francezi şi care au fost folosite în cadrul şcolilor şi în educaţia continuă a asistenţilor . medicali. Riscăm prin urmare să fim acuzaţi (mai mult sau mai puţin cu bună credinţă) că nu am clarificat şi aprofundat în suficientă măsură noţiunile legate de procesul de nursing, de planul de îngrijire, cu toate implicaţiile acestora. Este însă greu de crezut că în câteva pagini s-ar putea clarifica şi epuiza toate modelele conceptuale, cu nuanţele şi implicaţiile lor. Până acum, singurul teren comun de informare a asistenţilor din ţara noastră în legătură cu noile noţiuni de nursing au fost atelierele-curs de perfecţionare, cu sprijinul Ministerului Sănătăţii şi Familiei. Prin aceste ateliere au putut fi pregătiţi doar un mic număr de reprezentanţi ai profesiunii de asistent medical. Oricum, materiale/e bibliografice primite sau aduse de asistenţii care au fost în străinătate nu sunt suficiente pentru zecile de mii de asistenţi şi cursanţi de la şcolile sanitare postliceale. De aceea, am considerat că elaborarea unei lucrări care să constituieaşa cum reiese din titlu -un îndreptar, un ABC al nursingului, care să ajute la formarea şi informarea asistenţilor medicali în conformitate cu orientările actuale în acest domeniu, ar putea fi de mare utilitate, un sprijin important pentru elevii şcolilor sanitare şi chiar pentru asistentele practiciene. Diversitatea informaţiilor a produs derută, mai ales în predarea nursing-u/ui, ajungându-se la situaţia -poate exagerat spus -în care avem "câte şcoli atâtea modele de predare a nursingu/ui". De aceea am spus mai sus că a fost nevoie de mult curaj pentru a încerca să clarificăm, în câteva pagini, complexitatea aspectelor procesului de nursing, ale diagnosticului de nursing -teme care în literatura străină de specialitate sunt tratate pe sute şi mii de pagini. Toţi cei care au încercat, cu diverse ocazii, să clarifice unele dintre subiectele abordate de noi, dar nu au avut curajul sau timpul necesar să-şi sintetizeze eforturile într-un asemenea ghid, ar putea, pe bună dreptate, să exprime o serie de observaţii pertinente. Este un lucru firesc, şi noi suntem conştienţi de faptul că se pot aduce multe completări necesare, se pot face observaţii competente, pentru că există şi alte modele bune care ar putea fi studiate, cu condiţia să fie publicate în limba română, într-un tiraj suficient de mare. Prezenta lucrare este doar un ghid ce nu are pretenţia de a fi impus obligatoriu ca singurul model posibil. Pentru această etapă, ne adresăm persoanelor de bună credinţă cu rugămintea de a primi această lucrare drept ceea ce se doreşte, şi nimic mai mult: un ajutor pentru învăţarea teoretică a nursingului, o încercare de a fixa un limbaj 7 De reţinut! "Codul pentru asistentele medicale" descrie de asemenea 4 (patru) responsabilităţi, care definesc direcţiile...

There are several ways of understanding Britain after World War 2 and this essay will consider health, primarily the powerful flood of mental health focus and mental health therapies involved in reconstructing British identity, alongside changes within social structures reflecting the growing power of medicine and medical bodies in British lives. Of course, my concern pivots on the institutions that provide treatments, understanding these with respect to the immense power and wealth constructed as a consequence of modern treatments, unravelling the symbolic nature of mental health attributions advanced within an overarching umbrella of authoritarian medical rhetoric and ideology. Hopefully, sufficient proof will be obtained to demonstrate the social forces behind psychiatric positions in preference to medical dictums. The main task is to show that human beings are fashioned mainly through institutions, politics and business, to which of course medicine is aligned. This initial paper concentrates on historical and social change in Great Britain to explain the colonising approach of psychiatry and its claims, events that affect and are affected by other global events.

COVID-19 pandemisinin ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte vaka sayısındaki hızlı ve beklenmedik artışlar, pandeminin yayılımının ve etkisinin belirsizliği, tüm dünyayı etkileyen karmaşık süreçler, belirlenmesi güç olay ve durumlar, VUCA ile karakterize edilen değişken (Volatile), belirsiz (Uncertain), karmaşık (Complex) ve muğlak (Ambiquous) ortamları oluşturmaktadır. Gelecekte, VUCA ortamlarıyla daha sık karşılaşılacağı öngörülmekle birlikte, dünyanın karşı karşıya kaldığı en büyük küresel sağlık sorununa yol açan ve beklenmedik bir zamanda ortaya çıkan COVID-19 pandemisi VUCA ortamının etkisini daha da açık ortaya koymaktadır. COVID-19 pandemisi, dünyada genelinde, çok sayıda bireyin aynı anda hastaneye yatışını gerektirmiş, yoğun bakım hizmetlerine gereksinim artmış, bu doğrultuda sağlık bakım hizmetleri pandeminin gereksinimlerine yanıt verecek şekilde düzenlenmesini gerektirmiştir. Pandemiye göre yeniden şekillenen sağlık hizmet sunumu, her ortamda acil/kritik/yoğun bakım hastalarına bakım verebilecek, bilgi ve becerisi yüksek, değişen ortamlara hızla uyum sağlayabilecek nitelikte yetenekli hemşireye duyulan ihtiyacı artırmıştır. Pandemi süresince dünya genelinde yeterli deneyimi olmayan hemşirelerin çok kısa sürede eğitilmeye çalışılması ve ülkemizde ise hemşirelerin izin ve istifa etme haklarının iptal edilmesi gibi uygulamalar pandemiye etkili yanıt verebilecek nicelik ve nitelikte hemşire işgücünün hazır olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu doğrultuda, hemşire işgücünün gelecekte yaşanabilecek pandemilere karşı hazırlıklı olması ve yetenekli hemşirelerin yetiştirilmesi gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Bu derlemede, yetenek yönetiminin, hemşire işgücünün COVID-19 pandemisi gibi VUCA ortamlarıyla baş etmede bir yöntem olarak nasıl kullanılabileceğinin yöneticiler tarafından daha iyi anlaşılması amaçlanmaktadır.

Stroke patients in Indonesia are increasing every year and have a high degree of dependence on caregiver. The more severe the load perceived by the caregiver the more severe the emotional level felt by the caregiver, therefore caregiver requires upbringing in reducing the burden he feels that is by providing psychoeducation therapy. Psychoeducation is one of the therapies that provide information and education to the caregiver, thus psychoeducation is the right therapy in lowering caregiver load. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of psychoeducation therapy on caregiver load in treating stroke patients.

Elderly with frailty need help to do they daily activities. Training for health volunteers and primary caregiver was expected to increase their ability in providing care to the elderly with frailty. So the elderly's quality of life can be maintained, or even improved. The training was conducted at health volunteers and primary caregiver of elderly with frailty at Puskesmas Mulyorejo, Surabaya. Thirty people were involved. The training methods were lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Evaluation was conducted to participant's knowledge by using questionnaire. The results were then presented in a frequency distribution and percentage. The result had show that most participants has enough knowledge (23;76.67%), while the rest were less at pretest. After training 20 (66.67%) have good knowledge, and the rest have enough. Most participants had a pre-post difference in score of 30 points, i.e. 8 (26.67%) people. The highest pre-post score difference was 50 points. There were 3 (10%) participants who have no pre-post score difference. Training can improve health volunteers and primary caregivers knowledge. By increasing knowledge, their ability were expected to increase. Training should be followed by guidance and supervision from the nurses continuously to ensure the care provided was appropriate.

Background: Understanding student attitudes towards people diagnosed with mental illness is central to realising evidence-based nursing education and policy at an international level. Redressing stigmatised views can assist in preparing nursing students to work in mental health settings and support the active involvement of consumers in all aspects of mental health service delivery (known as: consumer participation) at individual and systemic levels. Accurate research on nursing student attitudes is dependent on the availability of valid and reliable measures. Objectives: Using data from and international study, this research sought to: (1) evaluate two measures of nurse student attitudes, and (2) explore whether attitudes to people labelled with a diagnosis of mental illness and who use mental health services is associated with more positive attitudes to consumer participation in mental health services. Design: Self-report quantitative data gained via the Consumer Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) and Mental Health Nurse Education Survey (MHNES). Setting and participants: University nursing students in Australia and Western Europe. Data: Pooled CPQ and MHNES data from Australia, Ireland, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands. Methods: The MHNES and CPQ were evaluated via exploratory factor analysis and Rasch modelling. Hierarchical regression was applied to see whether attitudes to mental illness and mental health practice relate to attitudes to consumer participation after addressing demographic differences. Results: Refined MHNES scales demonstrated overall fit on Rasch models. Reliabilities for MHNES ranged from 0.82 to 0.73. Perceived value of mental health nursing to consumers and lower negative stereotypes were associated with positive attitudes to consumer participation independent of age, gender and country [F (9, 381) = 15.78, p < .001]. Students who considered mental health nursing made a valuable contribution

Introduction: Mental health is an integral component of overall health and well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences cognition, perception, and behavior, and it determines how individuals handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is essential at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. The primary components of mental health include emotional well-being and psychological well-being. Emotional well-being refers to managing and expressing emotions effectively. It encompasses happiness, life satisfaction, and the ability to experience a range of emotions in a balanced manner. Whereas psychological well-being involves selfacceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, environmental mastery, autonomy, and other components. This research study examines the effectiveness of psychoeducation on the mental health status of students pursuing non-medical professional courses in colleges situated in Sangli city. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the mental health levels of students enrolled in non-medical professional programs before and after receiving psychoeducation and compare these levels after the psychoeducational intervention. Methodology: This study employed a pre-experimental pre-test and post-test research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample from the population, and 60 student participants of nonmedical courses were included in this study. A pre-test was conducted followed by a psychoeducation session. A post-test was conducted after seven days to assess the effectiveness of psychoeducation sessions. Evaluations were included based on a standardized Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) scale. The institutional ethical committee approved the study, and all guidelines, including consent and confidentiality, were strictly followed throughout the research. Results: The pre-test mean score was 33.55 with a standard deviation of 11.3726, while the post-test mean score increased to 57.93 with a standard deviation of 7.0153. The p-value of 0.00001, significantly lower than the 0.05 threshold, indicated a highly significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. This suggested that the intervention had a substantial positive effect on the participants, with the results showing clear improvement in the measured variable. The findings' significance underscored the intervention's effectiveness in achieving meaningful changes in the participants' mental health status. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate a statistically significant difference, with a p-value of 0.00001 at a 5% significance level. This supports the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis, demonstrating that there is a notable difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of mental health following the provision of psychoeducation to non-medical students. These findings suggest that psychoeducation has a meaningful positive impact, leading to significant improvement in the mental health of non-medical students in the post-test. Overall, this highlights the effectiveness of psychoeducation in enhancing the mental health status of students pursuing non-medical courses.
