Abstract

Background: Adequate knowledge of the metabolic syndrome is essential for mental health nurses as it enhances their ability to recognize and address the physical needs of individuals diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. Aims: This study investigated the factors influencing the level of metabolic syndrome knowledge among mental health nurses. Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 208 mental health nurses recruited from four hospitals in northern Taiwan, including two regional hospitals, one medical center, and one mental health hospital. Nurses' knowledge was assessed using a validated 20‐item self‐administered questionnaire covering key aspects of metabolic syndrome, including pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and management. The questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory reliability (KR‐20 = 0.702) and content validity. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t‐tests, one‐way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, and generalized linear models to identify predictors of knowledge levels. Results: The overall correct answer rate was 60.1%. Generalized linear modeling demonstrated that nurses' knowledge was significantly associated with their sources of information (B = 1.371, 95% CI = 0.458–2.285, p = 0.003), the type of hospital they worked in (B = −1.027, 95% CI = −2.015 to −0.039, p = 0.042), and working in a community unit (B = 1.975, 95% CI = 0.067–3.883, p = 0.042). Conclusions: Our results indicate that mental health nurses possessed a moderate level of knowledge concerning metabolic syndrome in people diagnosed with serious mental illness. Addressing this gap requires targeted education programs that integrate physical health education into psychiatric care and promote the use of diverse, evidence‐based resources tailored to the specific needs of mental health nurses in different settings. Organizational efforts should focus on fostering a supportive culture that enhances access to high‐quality resources, encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, and supports continuous professional development.

Abstract

Relatively few studies investigate mothers' experiences when their babies are transferred from their local neonatal unit to a Level 3 neonatal unit (Steeper 2002). This qualitative study was designed to describe and interpret the meaning mothers attributed to their experience of having their newborn babies transferred from a local neonatal unit to a regional unit. The approach used was influenced by hermeneutics phenomenology and van Manen's human science approach (1990). A purposively selected sample of 15 English-speaking mothers in one designated regional unit in the south east United Kingdom (UK) were interviewed face to face about their experience of their babies' transfer. Interviews took place over a seven month period in 2004. Data analysis was guided by the works of van Manen (1990) and Moustakas (1994). The concept of 'distance mothering' is suggested to conceptualise how the mothers' emotional responses, information issues and adjustment were interrelated to the perceived geographical distance and their maternal role to their transferred baby and other siblings or other family members at home. The findings indicated that ideologies of motherhood or the discourses that contribute to their (re)production need to take into account the variety of different circumstances mothers faced. Rather than concentrating only on the ill transferred baby, the focus of professional care should be extended to understanding and addressing women's individual emotional responses, and need for information and adjustment in ways that would help them to meet their perceived obligations to function in other roles, including their role as mothers of their other children. Quality of information, information provision and relationships with staff were seen as playing a crucial role in helping them as they fulfilled their maternal and caring obligations.

This study investigated the effects of a locally contextualized, structured kangaroo care education program on weight gain, breastfeeding rate and length of hospitalization for premature infants.Patients and Methods: This longitudinal quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-intervention design involved 96 infants born between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation for three months, and was carried out at a neonatal intensive care unit in Malaysia. The experimental group received a structured education program and careful monitoring of their kangaroo care practices, while the control group received routine care without a structured education program. The institutional review board approved the study design and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04926402).Results: The kangaroo care hours performed by mothers at baseline in the experimental and control group was 4.12 and 0.55 hours per week, respectively. At three months post-discharge, the experimental group had significantly higher weight gain, higher breastfeeding rates and shorter lengths of hospitalization than the control group.Conclusion: A l

Abstract

近年，マレーシアの看護教育において，大学のカリキュラム構成に大きな変化が起きている．マレーシアにおける看護教育の進捗状況を研究するために，われわれは，高等教育省看護教育タスクフォースから出版されている「2020 年に向けたマレーシアの看護教育の発展」という論文を用いた．さらに，マラヤ大学看護学科の学士および修士課程のカリキュラムを分析した．2010 年では，看護師の大部分は単科大学や大学の3 年制の教育課程を受けたデイプロマ卒業生であった．看護実践の質を向上させるために，高等教育省は看護教育をデイプロマ課程から大学4 年制の学士課程に移行すべきことを提唱した．2020 年には，高等教育省は看護学士号を有する看護師の多くが臨床で働くことを目指した．高等教育省は専門看護師，看護師長，および看護管理者などの地位は修士課程を修了した看護師に提供されるべきであると提言している．マラヤ大学の看護学科において，学士課程および修士課程の看護教育が急速な進歩を見せていることが分かった．学士課程では，根拠のある看護を実践できる看護師を養成することが目的である．また，マラヤ大学の学部カリキュラムでは，イスラムおよびアジア文明論，民族関係論，および起業家精神文化論などの科目を含んでおり，それらはマレーシアの多民族社会を反映している．修士課程では，看護学研究が主要な構成要素である．また，大学院は看護の分野に関係する研究を行った院生に博士号（Ph.D）を授与している．問題解決型学習，学生中心の教育，根拠のある実践などはマレーシアの看護教育における核心的な論題である．また，看護の専門職性および自律性はマレーシアにおける専門的な看護実践のために大切な論点である．
