Electronic Medical records document the treatment plan and patient care. This study intends to identify trained nurses' reception toward using EMR in the wards. A non-experimental cross-sectional survey covered the multi-discipline area. A stratified random sampling method in which the population in this research consisted of n= 138 trained nurses. Results found that the trained nurses tended to document the data at the nurse's station compared to the bedside entry. It's also shown that the demographics variable significantly correlated with attitude domains. Hence with the research results, it is envisaged to benefit the nurses and organization and hopefully can become the catalyst for the Ministry of Health in further improving and elevating the system throughout all hospitals in Malaysia.

Abstract Background Fall prevention programs are multidisciplinary, but nursing care plays a central and important role. However, management of falls are not addressed in the nursing clinical training curriculum in Malaysia. Methodology This study was conducted in Hospital Kuala Lumpur in the month of April and May 2019. A structured questionnaire with 10 questions on attitudes of a nurse in the management of falls and 10 questions on knowledge of falls in the hospital were distributed randomly to nurses of the Medical and Oncology departments. Results There were 260 participants: Medical (73%) and Oncology (27%). Among all the subjects, 84% were female. 17% of the subjects were junior nurses (less than 1 year of service) and 15.2% were seniors (>10 years of service). Majority only had a basic diploma in nursing (97%). The average score of the nurses’ attitude towards falls was 9 points, where 85.4% had a score of 8 or more, representing a good attitude towards the understanding of their role as a nurse in the management of falls. In view to knowledge, the average score was 8 and 19% scored full marks. Those who had worked for longer for the organisation and nurses from the medical department had more respondents scoring full marks. The nurses with poorer attitude are reflected by their lower average knowledge score of 6, 2 marks lower than those with a good attitude. Conclusion The study showed that the Malaysian nurses have a very good attitude towards the management and prevention of falls. This study showed that attitude of the nurse in the prevention of falls is correlated to their knowledge about falls. Therefore, nursing management of falls should be routinely introduced into the nursing curriculum. References 1.

Evaluation of the perception of safety attitudes among physicians and nurses in hospitals is important to ensure optimum patient care. The objectives are to assess the perception of medical personnel on safety attitudes at their workplace and to measure the correlation between domains and factors studied. A cross-sectional study involving 160 physicians and 304 nurses is conducted at a teaching hospital. A validated Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) consisting of 6 domains is used to measure the perception of medical personnel on safety attitude at their workplace. The Mann-Whitney test was performed for the comparison of the mean scores between two categorical variables and Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between two numerical variables in terms of strength and direction. Job satisfaction (73.4 ± 17.6) and management perception (56.1 ± 12.9) domains recorded the highest and lowest mean scores respectively. Doctors showed the highest perceived positive attitudes towards stress identification (57.5%) whereas perception of management (9.4%) has the lowest score, and the nurses showed the highest perceived positive attitudes towards job satisfaction (74.3%), and a low score of perception of management (10.9%). Overall, climate safety and stress recognition domains showed significant correlations with age, level of education, years in specialty, and history of attending safety training. The study results indicated that the medical personnel had low positive safety attitudes towards the management perceptions domain. However, they reported a high level of job satisfaction domain. It is imperative for the management team to take the necessary steps to ensure the personnel develops a positive safety attitude.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Effective and skilful communication is crucial and an important element in the quality of nursing care. This enables nurses to assess patients' needs and provide them with the appropriate physical care, emotional support, knowledge transfer and exchange of information. However, nurses find it difficult to communicate effectively and therapeutically with their patients. Aim: To identify the nurses’ and adult inpatients’ perceptions of barriers to effective nurse-patient communication. Methodology: A descriptive study was used to collect data from nurses (n=40) and adult inpatient (n=63) in multidisciplinary wards in a private hospital in Malaysia. Two sets of self-administered questionnaire for the two different groups of participants, the patients and nurses were used. Data were analysed using the SPSS version 20.0. Results: Nurses and adult in patient perceived heavy workload, dialect and negative attitudes towards nurses as main barriers that hinders effective communication among nurses and patients. Conclusion: Communication places an important part in patients’ satisfaction of care and the ability of the nurse to provided patient centred care. Nurses should take in to account those communication barriers that affect the patients and be confident enough to take the first step to initiate communication and be able to handle patients’ dynamic emotions.

Full textAbstract:
The burden of diabetes continues to increase in Malaysia, and the public primary health sector has an insufficient number of health care providers well-trained in diabetes care. The Ministry of Health Malaysia collaborated with Steno Diabetes Center to educate primary care doctors and nurses on the fundamentals of clinical diabetes care using a competency-based approach that blends e-learning, classroom-based learning, and clinic-based group work. This programme is called Steno REACH Certificate Course in Clinical Diabetes Care (SRCC). The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the SRCC intervention in improving diabetes-related knowledge, attitudes, skills and clinical practices among non-specialised doctors and general nurses working in public health clinics in Malaysia. This paper presents the study protocol. A quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study based on Solomon’s Four Group Design was applied. Non-specialist doctors and general nurses from ten health clinics were randomly selected to receive the educational intervention. Comparison clinics were purposive selected matching on proxy indicators for quality of diabetes care. The intervention consisted of 50 hours of e-learning, 48 hours of classroom-based learning and approximately 25 hours of work-based learning that covered all main aspects of clinical diabetes care and delivered over a six-month period. Primary outcomes were changes in diabetes-related knowledge, attitudes, skills, and clinical practice. Patients’ perceptions regarding the quality of care provided were classified as a secondary outcome. Other outcome measures included patients' assessment of their chronic disease care and providers' perceptions, attitudes and perceived barriers in care delivery. Results from this study will inform future educational approaches within the Malaysian health system. The study is unique because it evaluated a pertinent public health topic using a very robust methodology.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Early Warning Sign (EWS) is a tool made up of vital signs chart and scoring to detect any changes in patient so that immediate and appropriate care can be further determined and provided. The objectives of the study are to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of nurses in assessing patient using EWS scoring and to identify association between socio-demographic with knowledge, attitudes, and practice, as well as to determine the associations between knowledge with attitudes, attitudes with practice and knowledge of nurses in assessing patient using EWS scoring. Methods: A quantitative cross- sectional study with convenience sampling study was conducted on 132 nurses from medical, surgical and orthopedics wards in Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC) from November 2020 until January 2021. Printed questionnaires were distributed to the nurses in English language. The questionnaire consisted of two parts. Part A was about socio-demographic data (area and on years of nursing practice, & service, area of practice, educational level, as well as whether holding post-basic/ advance course certificate, attending life support training and ICU outreach participant). Part B was about knowledge, attitudes, and practices of EWS. Data analysis was interpreted in descriptive and inferential analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: A total of 108 respondents involved in the study represents 82% response rate. Majority of respondents scored low in knowledge questions with grade F (n=106, 98.3%). One respondent scored grade D, correctly answering 8 over 13 questions (62%). Only one respondent obtained grade B with 85% score. Based on the result, there are more participants (n=58, 53.7%) achieving good attitudes while respondents with poor attitudes were (n=50, 46.3%). Moreover, 59 respondents (54.6%) have higher practice level than mean score, indicating good EWS practice. The remaining 49 respondents (45.4%) scored below the mean score cut off point indicating poor practice. The mean values are different depending on working areas in terms of attitudes and practice. The association between attitudes and practice (r= 0.641, p-value<0.01) is confirmed having a positive and strong correlation. Conclusion: The study revealed that despite having poor knowledge on EWS, the nurses have demonstrated good attitudes and practice in detecting patients’ progressive deteriorating conditions; thus, confirming that there are associations in area of practice with attitudes and practice. The results also shows that there is a significant difference between attitudes and practice of nurses in assessing patient using EWS with (p- value< 0.05).

Full textAbstract:
Background: Pain Management is a medical approach that draws on science and alternative healing disciplines to study the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pain. Operating theatre nurses play the leading role in pain management and require thorough knowledge and skill in managing pain. Significant: Nurses, especially those working in a palliative setting, are considered to demonstrate a high level of knowledge regarding pain management principles with adequate understanding on matters such as a vital sign of patients in response to pain and type of analgesic drugs available. Aim: This study aims to determine the knowledge and attitude regarding pain management among operating theatre nurses in Hospital Melaka. Objective To determine the knowledge and attitude towards pain management among operating theater nurses in Hospital Melaka. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was employed to determine operating theatre nurses' knowledge and attitude towards pain management in Hospital Melaka. The total sampling method was used to draw the respondents. An adapted version of The Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (NKASRP) tool was used to test the knowledge and attitude of operating theatre nurses in Hospital Melaka. Normality tests were used to determine the normality of data distribution, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data to present quantitative descriptions of variables in this study. Limitations: Although this study was carefully prepared, there were some unavoidable limitations. There is a lack of time for this study because during this study was performed, and it is a pandemic COVID-19, most of the nurses do not have enough time to answer the questionnaire because of their workload. Findings: This study showed that 77.9% of operating theatre nurses in Hospital Melaka had a high level of knowledge, and 88.4% had a high attitude regarding pain management. Nurses specializing in the perioperative course have a slightly higher level of knowledge (78.2%) and attitude (87.3%) than respondents who specialized in the perioperative course. In general, all operating theatre nurses in Hospital Melaka had adequate knowledge and attitude toward pain management. Pain management is effectively managed by operating theatre nurses in the hospital. Implications: However, all nurses need to adhere to best practices in pain management by increasing their theoretical and practical knowledge to improve pain management procedures in the future.

"Can high performance work practices and satisfaction predict job performance?An examination of the Malaysian private health-care sector." International Journal of Quality and Service Sciences 12, no. 4 (November 30, 2020): 521–40. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ijqss-06-2019-0090.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to examine the effects of high-performance work practices (HPWPs) (participation, training and compensation) on nurses’ job performance (task and contextual) through the mediating role of job satisfaction. As nurses form the bulk of health-care professionals, their performance at work is crucial in determining patient satisfaction regarding care quality. HPWPs have been recognized as having the ability to affect employees’ work attitudes and behaviours positively. Specifically, these practices foster job performance. Design/methodology/approach Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the survey data on 639 staff nurses working in large private hospitals in Malaysia. Data were subsequently analysed using the partial least squares method. Findings The findings indicate that job satisfaction serves to mediate the relationships between the three HPWPs (participation, training and compensation) and the two dimensions of job performance (task performance and contextual performance). Research limitations/implications First, as all variables were measured using self-reports, a common-method bias could exist (Podsakoff et al., 2003). Hence, future researchers may want to combine self-assessments and supervisory or peer assessment to improve the validity of the outcomes. Second, the cross-sectional nature of this study limits our ability to make causal inferences. Bias could happen because the study examined both exogenous and endogenous variables at the same time. Thus, a longitudinal approach taken in the future could cross-validate the current findings and provide additional support regarding the causality of the HPWPs-job performance relationship. Third, the data were collected from staff nurses working in large private hospitals in Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, one should be careful to generalize the findings to different health-care professional groups and organizations. Practical implications From the practical perspective, it is evident from the findings that as job satisfaction is able to enhance job performance and given the need for nurses to provide quality health-care services, private hospital authorities concerned with encouraging greater job performance among their nursing workforce need to provide adequate support to their employees. This could be achieved through the implementation of HPWPs. Perceptions of the extent of a hospital’s HPWPs in terms of participation, training and compensation, have significant and positive effects on nurses’ level of job satisfaction. Therefore, it would be worthwhile for private hospitals to encourage more opportunities for nurses to participate in decision-making regarding their work. In addition, frequent training activities will be able to enhance nurses’ knowledge, skills and abilities, resulting in greater satisfaction Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to investigate the effects of HPWPs on nurses’ job performance in the Malaysian private health-care context. As studies using Eastern samples are relatively limited, the findings from this study would serve to expand the extant literature from a cross-cultural perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Adolescents’ sexual health is vital to overall health and well-being to achieve sustainable development goals. Yet, research on the strategies used by Malaysian school health teams regarding their experiences of providing sexual health information to adolescents is sparse. Objective: This study was conducted to explore the experiences of school health teams in Malaysia who provide unmarried adolescents with sexual health information either during school health visits or at health clinics, with a particular interest in the strategies they use to educate these young people. Methods: This qualitative study used semi-structured interview data from twenty participants from four multidisciplinary school health teams. The participants included staff nurses, medical officers, and family medicine specialists. The transcripts were analysed for common themes. Results: Four main themes were identified: discourse on risk, being selective, using scare tactics and maintaining own honour. The findings indicate that the interactions between school health teams and unmarried adolescents were not always ‘adolescent friendly’. The school health teams tended to use discourses of ‘risk’ or scare tactics to encourage abstinence in the adolescents they advised. Staff were also selective about the information they gave, prioritising notions of ‘maintaining honour’ over ‘safer sex’ messages. Conclusion: This study revealed how school health teams perceived sexual health education to be about moral issues and social attitudes. Influenced by both culture and religion, the sexual health services provided were underpinned by a ‘moral’ approach and promoted abstinence. However, most of the nurses in this study held the belief that sexual health knowledge acts as an encouragement for sexual activity. Thus, as part of school health teams, nurses need to embrace evidence that improved sexual health education may delay sexual initiation and prevent unintended pregnancy and HIV/STDs.

Full textAbstract:
Malaysia is moving towards a developed country status and it is imperative that the healthcare provided be at a higher standard than it is today. As members of the healthcare team, nurses play an essential role in the provision of healthcare. As such it is timely that nurses’ education be upgraded. As most of them only have a certificate or diploma in nursing, one way to upgrade the nurses is by providing opportunities for a baccalaureate degree. However, due to the shortage of nurses, nurses find it a challenge to enroll in a full-time on-campus programme. One way to help nurses meet the challenge is by providing an online distance learning programme to Malaysian nurses. And, to ensure the success of the online distance learning programme, it was realized that the nursing students need to be adequately prepared for an online learning environment. How much preparation will be determined, among other things, by their prior experience and skill in using technology as well as by their belief and attitude towards online distance learning. A survey was conducted on a cohort group of students during a face-to-face precourse orientation, that is, prior to the start of the online program. The findings of the survey are presented and discussed in the paper and implications for the future are highlighted.
