Zolkefli, Yusrita. "Negotiated ethical responsibility: Bruneian nurses’ ethical concerns in nursing practice." Nursing Ethics 26, no. 7-8 (November 15, 2018): 1992–2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0969733018809797.
Full textAbstract:
Background: There has been wide interest shown in the manner in which ethical dimensions in nursing practice are approached and addressed. As a result, a number of ethical decision-making models have been developed to tackle these problems. However, this study argued that the ethical dimensions of nursing practice are still not clearly understood and responded to in Brunei. Research aim: To explore how Bruneian nurses define ethical concerns they meet in everyday practice in the medical surgical wards of three Brunei hospitals. Research design: A qualitative study was employed. Interviews were conducted with 28 practising and administrative nurses of three hospitals. Interview data were analysed via a constant comparative method. Ethical consideration: The study’s protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethical Committee of the School of Health in Social Science at the University of Edinburgh and the Medical Health Research Ethics Committee of the Ministry of Health, Brunei. Findings: The nurses described three ethical dimensions in their practice, namely: ‘nurse at work‘ which illustrates the ethical dimensions within the work environment; ‘nurse and doctor’ which elucidates the ethical dimensions in the nurse and doctor relationship; and ‘nurse and patient’ which further examines ethical aspects in patient care. Nurses responded to the ethical dimensions in the ward setting with the aim of avoiding the conflict and maintaining ward harmony. Discussion: The data provide new insights into how nurses respond to ethical dimension in the ward settings where it puts strong emphasis on the nurses’ understanding of responsibility placed upon them as professional nurses. Conclusion: With these findings, it is recommended that further support is needed for nurses to be aware of the ethical dimension in their practice and to respond to ethical concerns accordingly.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARE SCHOLARS 4, Supp1 (December 9, 2021): 79–85. http://dx.doi.org/10.31436/ijcs.v4isupp1.200.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Nurses play a significant role in health care and have the most direct contact with patients, making them the most likely to encounter ethical questions regularly. Therefore, their knowledge and understanding of the code of ethics and professional conduct are essential. In Brunei Darussalam, these codes were developed in 2010 by the Nursing Board for Brunei, Ministry of Health. However, factors influencing nurses' knowledge and understanding of these codes have not yet been studied. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine community nurses' perception of factors influencing knowledge and understanding of the codes. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used as the study design. The data were collected through individual and group semi-structured interviews and analysed using the qualitative thematic analysis method. This study was conducted on community nurses who hold managerial responsibility in four health centres in Brunei. Findings: Three factors were identified to influence Bruneian nurses' knowledge and understanding of the codes. These factors were "a lack of reinforcement", "nurses' attitude", and "work environment". Conclusion: The knowledge of the codes by community nurses is deemed to be adequate. The findings, however, highlight the need for nurses to have an enhanced understanding of the codes.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To explore the views and experiences of male nurses in nursing as a profession in Brunei Darussalam. The objectives of the study were to explore the perception of male nurses in Brunei about the nursing profession, to examine motivation to become nurses and to explore the challenges that they have encountered in the profession. Background: More men are now choosing the profession, given the growth of health care needs. Evidence suggests that there are obstacles and barriers to men's career choices of being nurses. Design: A descriptive qualitative study using content analysis. Methods: A descriptive, qualitative approach was used to gain valuable insight into male nurses' views on nursing as a career. Using purposive sampling, a total of 11 male nurses from two state hospitals in Brunei were individually interviewed. Participants were interviewed for between 45-60 minutes and were audio-recorded with prior consent. Recorded interviews were transcribed, coded manually and subsequently thematically analysed. Results: The analysis revealed three broad themes, namely 'making the career choice', 'working as male nurses' and 'being in the profession'. The first theme indicates the nurses' initial perception of the profession. The second one describes the nurses' experiences once they enter the profession. The final theme illustrates how nurses perceived the challenges of being in the profession. Conclusion: The evidence in the current study suggests although men's entry into nursing is slow and gender disparity continues to affect the profession, the results in this study indicate that, for male nurses, the motivational factors outnumber the barriers to entry. Overall, male nurses reported being positive with their career choice.

"Perceived sleep quality: a comparison between hospital nurses and student nurses." British Journal of Nursing 31, no. 11 (June 9, 2022): 578–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.12968/bjon.2022.31.11.578.
Full textAbstract:
Background: The prevalence of poor sleep quality is high among nurses, and affects them physically and psychologically as well as organisational functioning. However, evidence on equipping student nurses with good sleep practices that could mitigate poor sleep as they transition into the nursing workforce is lacking. Aim: This study compared the prevalence and quality of good sleep among hospital nurses and student nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 130 hospital nurses and 130 student nurses in Brunei was carried out. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index. Multiple logistic regression was applied. Results: Hospital nurses were 4.29 times more likely to experience poor sleep than student nurses. Those who were overweight were 2.35 times more likely to have poor sleep quality than those with a healthy weight. Although students had significantly good sleep latency, needing less time to fall asleep, they experienced significantly more sleep disturbances, shorter sleep duration and less sleep efficiency. Conclusion: The prevalence of poor sleep quality among nurses in Brunei is higher than global estimates. Stakeholders such as nursing leaders, nursing educators and healthcare policymakers should prepare student nurses and help existing nurses by formulating strategies to promote working schedules and rosters that minimise circadian disruption.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Research studies have demonstrated that nurses face difficulty balancing family roles and responsibilities with work. This study aimed to explore the relationship between work-family conflict and health status and job satisfaction among nurses. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 426 nurses working in high-dependency and general settings in a large referral hospital in Brunei Darussalam. Results: Work-family conflict inversely affects health status and job satisfaction for nurses working in high-dependency and general settings. However, general nurses experienced higher work-family conflict albeit better job satisfaction and health status compared to high-dependency nurses. Older, single and non-smoker nurses reported higher job satisfaction. Conclusion: This study further informs healthcare and nursing administrators and policymakers, who should foster effective strategies and interventions to support the balance of nurses' work and family life.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Nurses' professional competence is a key factor for the quality of nursing practice, as the competence level directly influences the patient’s safety. A lack of competence among nurses raises several concerns and thus contributes to adverse effects of patient outcomes. These concerns, particularly how nurse managers understand and address incompetent practices, have not been thoroughly explored in the local context. Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore nurse managers' views of incompetent nursing practice in a community healthcare setting. Methods: A descriptive qualitative research was conducted in one single district in Brunei Darussalam with a purposive sample of nine community nurse managers from six healthcare centres. Data collection was by audio recorded of in-depth interviews. These interviews were coded and thematically analysed. Findings: The study participants discussed their perspectives on incompetent practice, the reasons for incompetence, and nurse managers' reactions to incompetence. Conclusion: The findings show that the standard views of 'incompetent' meant were elusive and inconsistent among nurse managers. Such inconsistency resulted in poor identification and management of ethical issues. Therefore, to ensure consistency, a clear view and understanding of what constitutes incompetent nursing practice must be established.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: To examine the shift handover practices in various medical wards in Brunei. Objectives were to examine shift handover practices between the nurses and between shifts, to identify supports to enhance handover effectiveness and to identify barriers of effective handover. Background: Handover practices is a routine activity, and ineffective handover practise constitutes a risk to patient safety. Evidence suggests that handover effectiveness is influenced by factors such as through standardised handover practice. Design: A descriptive qualitative study using content analysis. Methods: The study involved a series of individual interviews among a sample of nurses recruited from 6 medical wards in the largest hospital in Brunei. A total of 13 nurses took part in the interview. Data were analysed with qualitative content analysis method. Results: The analysis revealed three broad themes, namely "multiple handover style", "use of handover tool" and "handover distractions". The first theme indicates that there are several handover styles used in the medical wards, which may be related to the cultural and organisational factors. The second theme illustrates the use of a tool in handover practices, and the final themes describe perceived shift handover distractions which could potentially influence the effectiveness of the handover practices. Conclusion: The evidence in the current study suggests that several aspects of the multiple shift handover practices of nurses are not always consistent with best-practice evidence. The results show that nurses need to communicate accurate and concise information, which can be easily understood by both the giver and the recipient to ensure the quality and safety of patient care.

Full textAbstract:
In mid-December 2019, an ethics colloquium on moral courage was conducted, which prompted considerable interest among the clinical nurses in Suri Seri Begawan Hospital, the second-largest hospital in Brunei. The question and answer session reflected the sense of vulnerability that nurses might encounter in their daily practice. To be morally courageous, it appears that one has to be ready to accept the possible price of speaking up or raising concern about questionable and poor practices within the workplace settings. Overall, the session ensued in a meaningful and intriguing discussion, particularly when courage was regarded through a narrow and sceptical lens. As educators, there is a striking need for greater clarity on the role of nursing education in teaching moral courage and the long-standing challenges involved in ensuring that future nurses hold this value in realising good ethical practices.

Malaysian Journal of Nursing 13, no. 03 (2022): 19–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.31674/mjn.2022.v13i03.003.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Patients' duties and responsibilities, including lifestyle modifications as a preventive measure, have been brought into question as a result of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus. As the importance of patient autonomy rises, it becomes increasingly important for patients to assume responsibility for their health care. However, little is known about how patient responsibility embedded into diabetic mellitus patients, raising concerns about nurses ability to understand these responsibilities. Aim: The focus of the research was to examine nurses’ behaviour in the medical wards of RIPAS Hospital in Brunei Darussalam with regard to diabetic patients' responsibilities and how this influenced patient treatment outcomes. Methods: Data was collected using vignettes with nine nurses from the medical wards in a descriptive qualitative approach. Results: Three themes developed from the data analysis, namely initial feelings toward diabetic patients, the impact of patient responsibilities, and the importance of caring in nursing care. Conclusion: It is recognised that nurses view patient responsibilities differently in response to the unique needs of diabetic patients, necessitating a patient-centred approach to support such responsibilities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Caring, nursing, and the female gender role are all strongly linked. However, the number of male nurses is expanding globally. This occurrence calls into question the caring experiences of men in the nursing context. Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore views of caring in nursing among male nursing students in Brunei Darussalam. Methods: An exploratory, qualitative design was used to analyse the students' insights on the meaning of caring. Eighteen students who fit the inclusion criteria were invited using a purposive sampling method. There was two individual interviews (n=2) and four focus groups discussion (n=4), and it was audio-recorded with the consent of the students. These interviews were coded and thematically analysed. Results: Three themes have emerged from the data analysis: (1) Caring is about giving holistic care (2) Perceived challenges of exhibiting caring (3) Overcoming the challenges of exhibiting caring. Conclusion: The findings show that caring in the context of holistic care is consistent with earlier research. The study has strengthened our understanding of the profession's view of male student nurses. However, more research into the impact of male students' roles and images on nursing practice could better understand their challenges.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundNailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is being increasingly used in the early identification of systemic sclerosis (SSc) related disorders. Recent studies have shown that an optimised simple capillaroscopic definition of normal and abnormal capillary morphology is reliable and a multi-centre consensus ‘fast track algorithm’ was developed by the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) Study Group on Microcirculation in Rheumatic Diseases (SG MC/RD) to allow trainees to identify scleroderma patterns from non-scleroderma patterns.ObjectivesTo validate the “fast track algorithm” taught via an online teaching platform to identify scleroderma patterns from non-scleroderma patterns on NFC.MethodsTrainees participated in the NFC teaching workshops conducted via an online platform by the same SSc expert (AL) over 3 separate sessions. In the first part of the workshop (training), all trainees attended a talk on NFC by the SSc expert (AL) whereby they were taught the fast track algorithm to identify and classify NFC image patterns using a training set of images. The “fast track algorithm” (Figure 1) consists of three easy rules: 1) Rule number 1: the presence of ≥ 7 capillaries (capillary density) AND the absence of giant capillaries (capillary dimension) allows the rater to call the capillaroscopic image a “non-scleroderma pattern (category 1)”; 2) Rule number 2: the presence of giant capillaries or the presence of an extremely lowered capillary density (≤ 3 capillaries) in combination with abnormal shapes (= “late” scleroderma pattern) allows the rater to call the capillaroscopic image a “scleroderma pattern (category 2)”; 3) Rule number 3: if the image does not meet rule number 1 or rule number 2 then the image is automatically classified as a “non-scleroderma pattern (category 1)”. In the second part of the workshop (evaluation), each trainee independently rated 45 NFC images (30 seconds for each NFC image) in the same session, and submitted their answers in real time using an electronic form. The reading of the expert (AL) was considered the gold standard. AL is a SSc expert who had previously attended the EULAR workshop on NFC and has had more than 10 years of experience in NFC.Figure 1.Fast Track algorithmWithin 2-4 weeks of the initial rating exercise, trainees re-evaluated the same set of images for the intra-reader exercise under supervised conditions via the online platform.We computed the inter- and intra-rater agreement using mean [standard deviation (SD)] Cohen’s Kappa, with the following values representing the degrees of agreement: <0 –poor; 0-0.20 –slight; 0.21-0.40 –fair; 0.41-0.60 –moderate; 0.61-0.80 –substantial; and 0.81-1.00 –almost perfect agreement.ResultsNinety-eight trainees from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Taiwan, Myanmar and Brunei included rheumatologists, rheumatology trainees, pediatric rheumatologists, internists and nurses. Fifty-four participants were novices with no prior NFC experience, 38 participants were “moderately experienced” (< 5 years of NFC experience) and 1 participant was “experienced” with more than 5 years of NFC experience.The mean (SD) inter-rater kappa of the 98 trainees was 0.71 (0.13). For the 61 trainees who participated in the re-evaluation session, mean (SD) inter-rater and intra-rater kappa were 0.74 (0.16) and 0.71 (0.15), respectively.ConclusionThere was substantial inter- and intra-rater agreement. This is the first study in Asia examining NFC training using the EULAR SG MC/RD fast track algorithm and our results support the importance of standardized teaching for NFC.ReferencesNilFrom: Smith V, Vanhaecke A, Herrick AL, et al.

Thesis preparation results in students experiencing difficulties that cause psychological conditions that are distressed, causing emotional disorders such as mood disorders. Mood disorders can be bad for students and cause students to postpone their thesis. Efforts are made to overcome mood disorders when compiling thesis is to apply GEFT. GEFT is a merger between Gayatri Mantra and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). GEFT is done by chanting the Gayatri Mantra and giving a light knock on the body's 12 energy pathways called the energy meridians. The purpose of this study is to know the influence of GEFT towards mood disorders nurse students in thesis compilation. This research is quantitative with a quasi experiment research design pre and post with control group design. The sampling technique is purposive sampling with a total sample of 32 respondents divided into 2 groups the treatment group and the control group. Data were collected using The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) questionnaire. Data analysis uses the Wilxocon Signed Rank Test and the Mann Whitney Test. The results showed the value of p value in the treatment group = 0.003 which means that there was an influence of GEFT on mood disorders of nursing students in preparing their thesis, whereas in the control group there was no difference with the value of p value = 0.317. Changes in students mood disorders after being given GEFT due to a combination of spiritual spells with techniques that support the effectiveness of GEFT.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Existing evidence showed that adverse psychosocial factors contribute to burnout in oncology nurses and impose profound implications to nursing practice. Due to the complexity of this relationship, more studies are still needed.Objective: To investigate the prevalence and relationship between burnout and psychosocial factors among oncology nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted in 2018 using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire to measure burnout and psychosocial factors, respectively. Descriptive and multivariate regression using maximum likelihood procedures were used for analysis. Results: Out of three burnout variables, emotional exhaustion demonstrated a highly significant relationship towards psychosocial factors, particularly quality of leadership (p <0.001), justice and respect (p <0.001), and rewards (p <0.001) – congruent to a high prevalence of emotional exhaustion reported. Conclusion: Improvement in leadership quality, rewards, justice and respect could minimise emotional exhaustion among oncology nurses. These findings further inform management and policymakers to target these specific psychosocial factors in addition to using other interventions to counter the harmful effects of burnout. A positive psychosocial workplace would consequently decrease the risk of nurses’ intention to leave, reduce nurse shortages, and increase the quality of patient care.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Readmission becomes inevitable with the vast development of mental health services worldwide and the challenges faced by mental health services. This readmission is often caused by a relapse from an illness whereby the psychiatric patient needs nursing care.
Objective: This study aimed to explore psychiatric nurses’ perceptions of reasons for readmission and nurses’ further role in reducing readmission.
Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, thematic analysis of five focus group discussions (n= 24 nurses) in one psychiatric department in Brunei Darussalam was identified through purposive sampling.
Results: The nurses perceived the role of family and non-adherence to medication as a significant reason for psychiatric readmission. Simultaneously, nurses viewed that it was necessary to implement systematicchoeducation to strengthen the role of family and community service support to curb readmission rates.
Conclusion: The phenomenon of mental health readmission impacts psychiatric nurses due to many stressful challenges with nurses wishing to respond personally, humanely and professionally. These challenges require suitable interventions, such as debriefing to ensure that nurses continuously strive to deliver quality care to psychiatric readmission patients.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Resilience has become highly relevant for nurses working to avoid the negative impact of stress and maximise the positive benefits.
Objective: This study aimed to explore and describe experiences of resilience among nurses when they first started working in paediatric wards.
Methods: A qualitative, interpretive descriptive approach was used to guide the study. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit 8 participants, which proved sufficient to achieve theoretical saturation. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted in 2020 and audio recorded. An inductive analytic approach was utilised.
Results: Three overarching themes arose from the analysis: (1) The transition period (2) Gaining the trust of others (3) Having a positive mindset.
Conclusion: This study found that nurses used multiple strategies of resilience in order to cope with workplace stress when they first began the transition period. However, as they become familiar with the workplace and gain the trust of others, this factor enables nurses to have a positive outlook toward job setbacks.

Hj Emran, Siti Norhayati, and Yusrita Zolkefli. "Nephrology nurses’ views in giving a dietary recommendation for dialysis patients: An interview study." Belitung Nursing Journal, September 7, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.33546/bnj.1669.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Nutrition in dialysis patients plays an essential role in their life. Diet in dialysis patients are catered individually and applied according to the situation of the patients. A dietary recommendation is vital to dialysis patients, and nephrology nurses help patients understand the reasoning behind the dietary restrictions enforced.
Objective: This paper aimed to explore nephrology nurses’ views in giving dietary recommendations for dialysis patients.
Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, one focus group discussion (n = eight nurses) and four individual interviews in one Renal Centre in Brunei Darussalam was conducted through purposive sampling. This interview took place between October 2020 and December 2020.
Results: Three major themes were identified: (1) Approaches in giving dietary information, (2) Getting patients to follow a diet plan, and (3) Negotiating with patients.
Conclusion: The importance of nephrology nurses in improving patient care, particularly in providing dietary recommendations to dialysis patients, cannot be overstated. They adopted different approaches, including negotiating with patients and using available resources to ensure that patients followed the dietary recommendations. However, they believe their current method and strategy for offering dietary recommendations to dialysis patients could be improved.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Most parents of Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) babies often expressed dissatisfaction with the nursing care in NICU because of their unaddressed needs, resulting in emotional strain. This raises an essential question of how NICU nurses provide support for the parents. However, this can be relatively challenging in the NICU setting.
Objective: To explore nurses’ views on the nature of parental support provided in NICU settings in Brunei Darussalam.
Methods: This study employed a qualitative research approach conducted in 2020. Ten nurses were individually interviewed in semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using thematic analysis.
Results: Three broad themes were identified, namely: (1) Emotional and informational support (2) Keeping the support going (3) Seeking help from others. The data provide insights into how nurses provide emotional and informational support to parents in the NICU setting. Challenges were encountered in providing support and were addressed through the involvement of the doctors and emotional support continuity by nursing colleagues.
Conclusion: This paper describes two critical supports given to the parents in the NICU setting and the challenges that underline these supports and proposes strategies used by nurses to help the parents. The balance needed between work demand and parental support is highlighted. In order to give more robust parental support, ongoing interactions with doctors and nursing colleagues are required.

Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) are most at risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 infection. Their preparedness, as a result of provision and access to personal protective equipment (PPE), training programmes and awareness and practices on infection prevention and control measures, is integral for the prevention of infectious disease transmission. Objectives This study was conducted to assess the preparedness and practices of HCWs during COVID-19 first wave outbreak in Brunei Darussalam. Methods A cross-sectional study using a pre-designed and self-administered web-based questionnaire was conducted among HCWs from government and private health sectors ranging from primary to tertiary health facilities in Brunei Darussalam. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and chi-square test was used for statistical significance. Results A total of 511 HCWs participated in the study. Nurses (64%) and HCWs based at hospitals (66%) made up the majority of the study participants, with 74% having occupational exposure to COVID-19 cases. More than 99% of HCWs used respiratory PPE, and 94% used gloves. 74% had undergone respirator fit testing and 65% had received PPE awareness session within the last one year. Coverage in training programmes was found to be low among HCWs from private health facilities. Conclusions Majority of HCWs who had received updated training programmes and therefore were better prepared came from government health facilities. HCWs from private health facilities lacked preparedness training programmes and as such, there needs to be improvement to enhance preparedness measures in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and for future infectious disease outbreaks.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a 12-hour shift on mood states and sleepiness at the beginning and end of the shift. METHOD Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study.It was conducted with 70 neonatal intensive care unit nurses. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and a socio-demographic profile questionnaire were administered. RESULTS When the KSS and BRUMS scores were compared at the beginning of the shift associations were found with previous sleep quality (p ≤ 0.01), and quality of life (p ≤ 0.05). Statistical significant effects on BRUMS scores were also associated with previous sleep quality, quality of life, liquid ingestion, healthy diet, marital status, and shift work stress. When the beginning and end of the shift were compared, different KSS scores were seen in the group of all nurses and in the night shift one. Significant vigor and fatigue scores were observed within shift groups. CONCLUSION A good night’s sleep has positive effects on the individual`s mood states both at the beginning and the end of the shift. The self-perception of a good quality of life also positively influenced KSS and BRUMS scores at the beginning and end of the shift. Proper liquid ingestion led to better KSS and BRUMS scores.
