Abstract Background Recognizing patients’ rights as fundamental human rights, the global healthcare community, including the World Health Organization and various nursing organizations, has emphasized the critical role of nurses in upholding these rights through ethical practice and patient-centered care. However, in the complex landscape of healthcare, nurses in Vietnam face various ethical issues and challenges that may impede their ability to protect patient rights effectively, necessitating tools for better ethical decision-making and practice. Purpose This study aims to translate the Nurses’ Ethical Behaviours for Protecting Patient Rights Scale (NEBPPR) into Vietnamese and evaluate the validity and reliability of the V-NEBPPRS. Methods The original scale underwent a cross-cultural translation process to be adapted into Vietnamese. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability of the V-NEBPPRS were evaluated. Results After removing four items with factor loading below 0.5, the V-NEBPPRS comprises 24 items divided into five factors. CFA demonstrated a good model fit (χ2/df = 2.86; GFI = 0.87; IFI = 0.85; CFI = 0.84; RMSEA = 0.07). Convergent and discriminant validity were confirmed with extracted mean variance ranging from 0.54 to 0.67, 0.54 to 0.67, and composite reliability from 0.73 to 0.81. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.85 for the total scale and ranged from 0.70 to 0.79 for five subscales. Conclusion The V-NEBPPRS is a reliable tool, providing nursing leaders and researchers with the means to utilize the V-NEBPPRS for assessing and promoting nurses’ awareness and behaviour in safeguarding patients’ rights, thereby contributing to improved overall health outcomes.

Neonatal jaundice is a clinical condition in infants characterized by yellow staining of the skin and sclera due to the accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin excess. This is the leading cause of deathin 60% -80% of newborns. This research was aimed to investigate the effects of exercise on neonates with nutritional status and vital signs who were receiving phototherapy. In this quasi experimental study, 34 full term neonates with jaundice admitted for phototherapy were selected through quota sampling. Subjects were assigned to exercise and control groups. Neonates in exercise group received a passive extremities exercise for 15 to 20 minutes on extremities twice a day for 3 days, while the control group did not received any exercise. Statistics analysis used independent t test and mann-whitney test. Demographic and clinical characteristics, the defecation frequency, vital sign, total feeding amount and body weight were identified and compared between two groups.On the third day, the exercise group showed a significantly higher defecation frequency (p=0.000) and significant in respiration rate (p=0.029); not significant in vital signs (heart rate p=0.583 and temperature p=0.807;) enteral feeding (p=0.202) and body weight (p=0.181). Exercise could increase defecation frequency in neonates with jaundice receiving phototherapy.The effect of exercise was limited to stabilize temperature and heart rate.

Breastfeeding support can increase postpartum maternal confidence when breastfeeding so that it will indirectly increase the success of exclusive breastfeeding. But there are still many postpartum mothers who still do not get good support due to differences in perceptions between mothers, families and health workers. This study uses a descriptive analytic study method that compares the perception of breastfeeding support perceptions in postpartum mothers and health workers in hospitals. 197 postpartum mothers and 37 health workers in the postpartum room of the hospital in the Purwokerto region filled out a questionnaire containing questions related to breastfeeding support. Sampling for postpartum maternal respondents was carried out by consecutive sampling method, whereas for health workers respondents used total sampling. The results of this study indicate there is a gap in perception between postpartum mothers and health workers related to breastfeeding support for postpartum mothers in several indicators of breastfeeding support, namely teaching how to position and attach correctly, act IMD, provide information on signs your baby is getting enough milk, breastfeeding assistance in hospital, information about cadre and lactation counseling, and information to overcome breastfeeding problems at home. Conclusion: There is still a gap in perception of breastfeeding support between health workers and postpartum mothers during hospitalization.

The rate of death and illnesses on premature babies is mostly respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Desaturated-period frequently occurs on premature babies with RDS. One intervention to prevent it is a quarter turn from prone position. The research design was pre-experimental study with one group pre- and post-test design. This study involved 20 respondents that were selected with consecutive sampling technique. The setting of the research was in Perinatology ward at Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo. The oxygen saturation was examined before and after 2 hours of intervention. Data was then analyzed with Wilcoxon test. The results showed that median value of SpO2 before quarter turn from prone position was 94%, and its value after two hours of intervention was 96.5%. It was found that there was a significant effect in giving quarter turn from prone position to oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS. Quarter turn from prone position was able to increase oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS and is possible to be implemented in perinatology room.

Introduction: Baby-led weaning is a new method of complementary food introduction for babies which enables babies to feed themselves. Over the last decade, the number of mothers adopting this method has been growing in many countries including Indonesia, though the exact number is unknown. The practice of self-feeding in babies using baby-led weaning in Indonesia also has not been identified.Aim: To identify self-feeding practices among babies in both baby-led and traditional weaning.Method: The study design was that of a descriptive survey given to a population of the mothers of six to 12-month-old babies who practiced either baby-led or traditional weaning in Indonesia. A consecutive sampling technique with time limit was used, and 316 respondents were recruited through an online survey.Results: Almost half of the baby-led weaning group practiced self-feeding at least 90% of their meals, whereas 80% of the traditional weaning babies practiced spoon-feeding at least 90% of their meals. The self-feeding percentage in the rest of the baby-led weaning participants, however, ranged from 10 to 75%. The type of family, who is appointed to take care of the baby, mother’s occupation, and engagement in family dining may contribute to the variations in self-feeding percentages.Conclusion: There was a difference in feeding practices between baby-led and traditionally weaned babies as assumed. The unique percentage of self-feeding among baby-led weaning in this country is useful as a reference for further research in this area.

Acute Coronary Syndrome’s (ACS) patient has a risk getting readmission in 30 – 45 days after come back from hospital. Discharge planning has purpose to guaranty continuity of treatments’ qualities among of hospital with communities’ service. The purpose of this thesis is to determine patients’ and nurses’ factors that have contributing to the rate of readmission in doing discharge planning of ACSs’ patients in RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. The design of this thesis is a prospective observational analytic approach. The experiment was conducted in August to October 2014 in RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. The sample is consisted of 60 families of ACS’s patients with using consecutive sampling approach. The collecting of data uses questionnaire’s sheet. The data analysis uses logistics’ regretting with backward method. The predictors’ factors of the readmission rate of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients are the complication of the hearth failure and diabetes mellitus diseases. Health professionals need to pay attention to prevention effort to provide education to patients and families. The educational materials is in the form of the modification of risk factors (smoking, alcohol, blood pressure, personal weight, nutrition, activity, exercise, stress) and modification management as recommended.
