Abstract : The preparatory year (PY) plays an important role in students’ preparation for university level academic studies, since studying in medical programs is challenging and students need to be able to overcome obstacles in their studies. One way to facilitate the transition to full medical programs is to include medical terminology (MT) in the PY. The study investigates the importance of including MT in the PY for students planning to study at any of health colleges at Najran University. A cross-sectional study was designed to include at least 25 students and 12 members of teaching staff from each of the health college at Najran University. An electronic survey using Google forms was used to ask students and members of teaching staff questions related to the importance of MT in the PY for health colleges’ students. A significant number of the teaching staff mentioned that students were below the required level because of lack of English language proficiency as well as the difficulty in specialty courses is an issue. Also, a significant proportion of teaching staff and students reported that the inclusion of MT in the PY would improve students’ academic performance. MT should be introduced in the PY to facilitate the study journey for students who wish to continue in health colleges, since this will facilitate students’ understanding of medical terms and contribute in raising the level of students.

Abstract : Escherichia coli is a major etiological agent of Urinary tract infection (UTI) worldwide. People of all ages and gender are prone to UTI, but age over 20 years and women are more susceptible. The purposes of this study were to identify the E. coli isolates from suspected UTI samples and determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates. A total of 200 midstream urine samples were collected from suspected UTI patients between January 2016 and May 2016 from a tertiary care hospital. Presence of E. coli isolates in 138 samples was confirmed after microbiological and biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of E. coli isolates revealed high level of resistance to Nalidixic Acid, Cefotaxime, and Ceftazidime. High level of sensitivity was found to Amikacin, Tobramycin, Netilmicin which can be used as effective antimicrobials, but before that clinician should determine antimicrobial susceptibility of UTI pathogen of suspected patients. To avoid antibiotic resistance, use of antibiotics should be monitored and drug regulations must be strictly followed.

Abstract : Mothers of neonates who require special care begin their experience of motherhood in the unfamiliar environment of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which may result in delayed maternal attachment. This study examined the emotional experience of mothers of newborn babies admitted in Newborn Special Care Unit (NBSCU) in University of Nigeria, Teaching Hospital, Enugu-Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the causes/sources of stress, assess the emotional responses of the mothers of neonates, determine the perceived problems caused by neonate-mother separation and identify the coping strategies adopted by mothers of neonates. Descriptive research design was adopted in the study among 62 mothers of neonates. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain data. The result of the study shows that the prominent cause of stress among the mothers was fear of the child dying with mean score of 3.70 + 0.46, the identified emotional reactions were the feeling of depression/sadness 62(100%); powerlessness and trembling lips/separation led to inability to work and engage in hobbies with mean score of 3.93 + .25, increase emotional disability with mean score of 3.66 + .63, lack of child breast feeding mean score of 3.87 + .34 while, praying for the child quick recovery with mean score of 4.0 + 00 was the coping strategies adopted.

Abstract : Hand hygiene is the most effective recommended practice to prevent hospital-associated infections. Although, hand hygiene compliance rate is still low. The general purpose of this study was to describe Jordanian nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and barriers toward hand hygiene. A non-experimental descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. Validated self-reported questionnaires were used among 207 nurses (106 male and 101females) from four major hospitals in Jordan. Nurses have a moderate level of knowledge (13.83±2.64) and moderate positive attitudes (32.74±4.54). Furthermore, nurses who were working in private hospitals had higher levels of knowledge than nurses who work in teaching hospitals who had higher levels of knowledge than nurses working in governmental hospitals. Nurses who were working in private hospitals had higher levels of attitude than nurses working in teaching and governmental hospitals. Surgical nurses had higher levels of an attitude than ICU nurses and higher levels than medical nurses. On the other hand, ER nurses had shown the lowest attitude. In addition, the result showed that the most important barriers toward hand hygiene were: 1) insufficient time, 2) skin irritation, 3) wearing gloves, 4) lack of knowledge, and 5) ignorance of guidelines. In conclusion, there is a need for continuous education about hand hygiene in order to improve hand hygiene knowledge and to enhance the change in attitude. This study revealed that some of the major barriers were workload, skin irritation and wearing gloves. Management should reduce workload and provide appropriate hand hygiene products.

Abstract : Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remains pandemic diseases carrying over socio-economic and health impacts. The growth of the epidemic of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia is the fastest in Southeast Asia. Supported by the Ministry of Home Affair’s Regulation No. 20/2007 on empowering People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and community base empowerment theory, the research objective was to design a model for empowering PLWHA in Surakarta. Started from August to September 2019, the researcher team has done participatory action research with purposively selected key informants to collect data using document review, in-dept interview, and focus group discussion. The findings proposed empowerment model for PLWHA as follows: 1) AIDS Volunteer Community provides individual coaching for the key population for change; 2) AIDs Control Commission and Local offices offer participatory action training, and 3) Peer Supporting Group do nursing and caring for PLWHA groups. More activities are also provided to guide the empowerment model.
