Full textAbstract:
Nursing documentation is vital to nursing care in hospitals. Literature suggests nursing documentation that contains evidence nursing care which has been planned and implemented have a significant relationship with nurses’ practice, particularly regarding the existence of advocacy. Despite the significance of nursing documentation in nursing practice, no study has been conducted and published on this crucial aspect of nursing practice, particularly in Malaysia. Hence, a qualitative design is utilised to explore how nurses in Malaysia demonstrate the element of advocacy in the context of their nursing documentation. A total of forty semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses involved in completing the nursing documentation. Thematic analysis was used to identify categories and themes in nurses’ perceptions about the existence of advocacy in their documentation. Findings highlight that the nurses could comprehend and acknowledge the existence of advocacy within their documentation. These findings are likely to suggest to highlight the advocative roles of nursing documentation in nursing practice, besides the significance of education to improve advocacy among nurses in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
Demand for a nursing career in Malaysia has increased, although it has not been a popular course of choice among students. Understanding the perceptions of students about nursing may help identify any misconception toward the profession and their consideration to choose nursing as a career. This study aimed to identify the perceptions of secondary school students about nursing and their potential interest in joining a nursing career. A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted among 155 students by administering a High School Students Self-Administered Questionnaire from three selected secondary schools in Kuantan, Pahang Malaysia. Overall, the respondents positively perceived the nursing profession, although several parts were viewed negatively. Despite having a positive notion about nursing, only 18.1% of the respondents were interested to select nursing as their career and a majority of them were women. In conclusion, no significant difference in perceptions about nursing and consideration to choose nursing as a career was found. Nevertheless, the image of nurses and a nursing career need to be improved in the eye of students and societies. In addition, the students were not aware of the benefits of nursing with several misconceptions of genders and doctor’s aid. Overall, the status of nursing in Malaysia should be enhanced to make it a valuable career.

Full textAbstract:
The efficacy of high fidelity patient simulation (HFPS) over low fidelity patient manikins (LFPM) in improving learning outcomes among undergraduate nursing students in Malaysia remains unknown. The aim of this study is to compare learning outcomes (knowledge and critical thinking skills) using an adult code blue drill simulated program using HFPS versus LFPM among undergraduate nursing students in Malaysia. In an experimental study, final-year undergraduate nursing students ( N = 407) from three centers in Malaysia were trained in code blue management and assigned to either control (LFPM) or intervention (HFPS) group. Pre- and post-test assessment was conducted using 30-single best answer questions and the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory. A repeated-measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant differences in knowledge levels (intervention, η2= 0.146; control, η2= 0.130) and critical thinking skills (intervention, η2= 0.119; control, η2= 0.066). Simulation-based education using HFPS is advantageous over LFPM in increasing knowledge and critical thinking skills in code blue management among nursing students.

Introduction: As COVID-19 Pandemic hit across the globe, the closure of higher institutions and the shifting to online platform has become the stress factors related to learning activities for the nursing students. Hence, this study was conducted among Malaysian undergraduate nursing students to determine the level of perceived stress and to examine the relationship between the stressors and the perceived stress level. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using convenience sampling conducted among undergraduate nursing students in one public university in Malaysia. The study participants (n=201) had been recruited by distributing an online survey which was consisted of three parts; socio-demographic characteristics, stressor factors, and Perceived Stress Score (PSS-10). Results: Majority of the respondents had moderate stress (n=154, 76.6%) with the total mean PSS-10 was 21.29 (SD=±5.57). Significant differences in PSS-10 score were found in terms of level of study, satisfaction in nursing study, current living location, and negative life events (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results from the study indicated that most of the undergraduate nursing students had moderate stress and it is associated with level of study, satisfaction in nursing study, current living location and the present of negative life events. This finding could inform the nursing lecturers and the Malaysian educational institutions for establishing a mechanism of identification and support system for the nursing students associated with the stressors.

Introduction: Stress in nursing students has been documented in many studies and this will lead to various health problems. However, there is scanty research assessing the level of stress among nursing students during Covid-19 in Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed to assess the level of stress and its association with social and environmental factors amongst nursing students in Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by random sampling among nursing students in Universiti Malaysia Sabah between March and May 2021. The primary outcome was stress symptoms, derived from the validated Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS) questionnaire. Socio-demographic, social, and environmental factors were also assessed. T-test was used to assess the associations between level of stress and social and environmental factors. Results: A total of 115 responses were received with the mean (SD) age of the students being 20.5 (1.3) years old. Of all the students, 84.9% were female, 54.6% received financial support from National Higher Education Fund Corporation and 46.2% were in nursing Year 2 followed by the nursing year 1 (28.6%) and nursing year 3 (25.2%). The students in this study reported a higher level of stress. The students who reported most or all the time being trapped in a hostel (p<0.01), challenges of online classes (p=0.03), and catching up with class projects (p=0.03) had a higher level of stress compared to those who reported none or little or some of the factors. Conclusion: This study showed that social and environmental factors may play a role in determining the stress level among nursing students. Hence, authorities should foster supporting strategies to lower student stress and tackles the unwanted consequences.

Objective: The health industry needs motivated and satisfied nursing staff to provide quality health services to medical tourists, as well as in other sectors. This study aimed to examine the effects of psychological empowerment on the dimensions of burnout among the Malaysian nursing staff, as well as exploring the role of age, gender, experience, and marital status on the perception of burnout dimensions. Methods: This survey used a sample of 432 nursing staff, using measures of the perception of empowerment and comparing variables with another measure of burnout, collected via a self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. Moreover, the group analysis in PLS-SEM estimated the differences among the nursing staff’s perception of psychological empowerment on burnout factors. Results: The findings reveal that psychological empowerment reduces the impact of burnout symptoms. Moreover, gender and age are different for depersonalization by the perception of psychological empowerment among the nursing staff in Malaysia. The Malaysian nursing staff’s marital status influences the relationships between psychological empowerment and depersonalization, as well as emotional exhaustion and personal unfulfillment. Moreover, the experience of the nursing staff influences the perception of personal unfulfillment in a significant manner. Conclusion: This study offered important managerial implications, such as considering the nursing staff’s needs according to age, gender, material status, and working experience to address burnout issues of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal unfulfillment. Moreover, it is important to note that the different factors of burnout are perceived differently by the nursing staff based on their attributes. There is a need to utilize the provision of psychological empowerment needs.

Full textAbstract:
Religion and culture play important roles in influencing end-of-life communication among the elderly. However, little is known about end-of-life communication among elderly nursing home residents. A qualitative study involving a sample of 13 elderly residents of a non- government nursing home in the north of Peninsular Malaysia was conducted to investigate residents’ attitudes and ideas about their end-of-life preferences. Thematic analysis was performed to identify major themes emerging from the interviews. This study found that elderly residents actively avoided end-of-life communication, but that their cultural and religious beliefs remained of paramount importance. It is hoped that these findings will provide a platform upon which to improve current nursing home care in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
Modern nursing started in Malaysia during the colonial rule and with embedded colonial values. During the first two decades of post-independent Malaysia, the Malays were a minority in the nursing workforce despite being the majority population. This study examines the issue of this paradoxical underrepresentation of Malay women from the lens of Malay culture during this period. Document analysis was conducted on relevant annual reports, official letters, minute papers, newspaper articles and parliamentary debates official reports between 1957 and 1977. The findings suggest that the underrepresentation of the Malays in nursing was predominantly due to the disinterest of Malay women to become nurses due to the discordance between the Malay culture and various aspects of nursing. This article highlights the importance of a culturally sensitive work environment in promoting inclusivity for the diverse members of the society.

Purpose: Learning style preferences vary within the nursing field and there is no consensus on a predominant learning style preference in nursing students. The current study compared the learning style preferences of nursing students at two universities in Iran and Malaysia. Methods: A purposive sampling method was used to collect data from the two study populations. Data were collected using the Learning Style Scale (LSS), which is a valid and reliable inventory. The LSS consists of 22 items with five subscales including perceptive, solitary, analytic, imaginative, and competitive. The questionnaires were distributed at the end of the academic year during regular class time for optimum response. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the learning style preferences between the two study populations. Results: A significant difference was found in perceptive, solitary, and analytic learning styles between two groups of nursing students. However, there was no significant difference in imaginative and competitive learning styles between the two groups. Most of the students were in the middle range of the learning styles. Conclusion: There were similarities and differences in learning style preferences between Zabol Medical Sciences University (ZBMU) and University Sains Malaysia (USM) nursing students. The USM nursing students were more sociable and analytic learners, whereas the ZBMU nursing students were more solitary and perceptive learners.

Background: Standard precautions (SP) are important in protecting both patients and healthcare professionals from occupational exposure as well as ensure patient safety. This study aimed to compare the knowledge and compliance regarding SP among diploma and degree nursing students at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Methods: A cross-sectional study has been conducted among 134 nursing students using self-administered questionnaires. Respondents were recruited using a simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 24 using descriptive and Spearman’s Rank-Order test. Results: The study showed that diploma and degree nursing students had good knowledge regarding SP (mean of 14.7±2.5 and 15.4 ± 2.4) and a high compliance level of SP (mean of 3.6 ± 0.3 and 3.7 ± 0.2 respectively). Washes hand immediately after contacting any blood, body fluid, secretion, excretion, and dirty substances has the highest degree of compliance among diploma nursing students, while washes hands when comes in different contact with different patients has the highest degree of compliance among bachelor degree nursing. Wear protective eye patch or google when performing operations/procedures that might induce spraying of blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions was the lowest degree of compliance among both bachelor degree and diploma nursing students. There was no significant correlation between the level of knowledge and compliance with SP (p= 0.23) but there is a significant correlation between the duration of practical training and compliance with SP (p=0.02). Conclusion: Nursing students in USM had good knowledge and high compliance regarding SP. Knowledge did not influence compliance with SP but duration of practical training session did influence compliance with SP.

Full textAbstract:
In the previous studies, it was found that many nursing students have the highest satisfaction towards clinical learning environment (CLE). CLE has an impact on nursing students in preparing them in terms of knowledge and providing quality care for patients. The objective of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction among nursing students in the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) towards CLE. A purposive sampling technique was used in quantitative and cross-sectional descriptive design. Ninety-three of Year 1 to Year 4 nursing students participated by answering modified self-reported Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher (CLES + T) scale questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three sections; sociodemographic, clinical placement and five dimensions of satisfaction towards CLE (pedagogical atmosphere, leadership style of the head nurse, premises of nursing in the ward, preceptor relationship and role of the preceptor). In medical ward, 51.6% of nursing students had high satisfaction towards CLE and 48.4% reported to have low satisfaction. Whereas for surgical, orthopaedic, homecare and critical area wards reported to have 50% for both high and low satisfaction towards CLE. The relationship between year of study, gender and level of satisfaction towards CLE among nursing students in UKMMC were statistically not significant (p = 0.715, p = 0.139). Among the five dimensions of satisfaction towards CLE, leadership style of the head nurse was the highest (72.0%) and the lowest (30.1%) was from pedagogical atmosphere. This study showed that regardless of specific clinical placement for the nursing students, their satisfaction towards CLE were almost similar and the leadership style of the head nurse had the highest impact. Perhaps, the impact of involvement of the head nurse in the clinical teaching should be explored further in the future.

Results Results showed 43.0% of respondents had at least breastfed one someone else's child. Meanwhile, 3.0% of the respondents nursed seven to ten other children. A total of 237 children were breastfed by the respondents (n = 100). Of these, only 78.5% were breastfed five times, while 21.5% were breastfed less than five times. Most mothers recorded their milk child background data, which shows that the community is aware of the importance of data documentation. Conclusions This study showed that there is a wet nursing practice among the Muslim women in Malaysia. Documentation is essential to avoid any potential difficulties in establishing the mahram relationship through breast milk. Research and issues pertaining to wet nursing and milk siblinghood might continue to bring a great deal of good to society.

Full textAbstract:
Background: While the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) shows a decreasing trend, there is room for improvement. Midwifery education has been under scrutiny to ensure that graduates acquire knowledge and skills relevant to the local context. Objective: To review the basic professional midwifery qualification and pre-practice requirements in countries with lower MMR compared with Malaysia. Methods: A rapid review of country-specific Ministry of Health and Midwifery Association websites and Advanced Google using standardised key words. English-language documents reporting the qualifications of midwives or other requirements to practise midwifery from countries with a lower MMR than Malaysia were included. Results: Sixty-three documents from 35 countries were included. The minimum qualification required to become a midwife was a bachelor’s degree. Most countries require registration or licensing to practise, and 35.5% have implemented preregistration national midwifery examinations. In addition, 13 countries require midwives to have nursing backgrounds. Conclusion: In countries achieving better maternal outcomes than Malaysia, midwifes often have a degree or higher qualification. As such, there is a need to reinvestigate and revise the midwifery qualification requirements in Malaysia.

Background: Employees’ work experience significantly impacts their cognition and workplace actions. Anger and negative affectivity are two personality traits that have been linked to workplace deviant behavior conduct. Objective: This study aimed to empirically analyze the deviant workplace behavior and its antecedents among Malaysian nurses in public hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed in this study. The survey questionnaires were distributed proportionately to staff nurses in six government hospitals in 2020, with a total of 387 nurses selected using a simple random sampling. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. Results: Trait anger triggered deviant workplace behavior in Malaysian nurses, thus supporting the argument that the personality trait could increase deviant behavior (β = 0.245, p = 0.000). At the same time, there was no evidence that negative affectivity could influence deviant behavior in the workplace among nurses in selected public hospitals in Malaysia (β = 0.074, p = 0.064). Conclusion: The Malaysian nurses had positive affectivity, related to positive emotions like happiness, work interest, and attentiveness. On the other hand, the nurses were suffering from high levels of emotional tiredness. Further research should highlight a deeper understanding of Malaysian nurses’ work experiences and workplace stress affecting their physical and mental health.

Uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak impacts mental health mainly among university students. This research seeks to identify the psychological impact and social support received among nursing students in UiTM Puncak Alam during COVID-19. A cross-sectional study used Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Impact on Social and Family Support questionnaire among 114 nursing students. Students' anxiety (2.10 ± 1.20) was higher than depression (1.50 ± 0.73). However, participants reported receiving substantial social support, especially from family members (1.30±0.46). In conclusion, half of the participants showed the psychological impact; however, there was an increase in social support during the COVID-19 outbreak.

This paper explores the association between common facility space occupancy and spatial configuration and aims to have higher space occupancy by spatial design. The spatial configuration includes geometric metrics and topologic metrics from Space syntax theory.The association between space occupancy and spatial configuration in twelve nursing homes is evaluated using the multiple linear regression model. The results show that spatial integration, connectivity, and area size are significant factors to space occupancy correlation. Therefore, allocating space with higher spatial integration, more connectivity, and the large area size are three effective ways to increase space occupancy in Japanese nursing homes.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Nursing team performance is essential because nurses work interdependently with others and their routines require them to create an effective synergy through collective effort. Nursing teams must be effective in order to reduce medical errors and deliver the best safe care to patients. For that reason, members must possess skills that are relevant and imperative to team functioning. This article aims to examine the association between team skills and team performance. Team performance is categorized into two dimensions; team task performance and team contextual performance. Methods: This study was done on selected nursing teams in Peninsular Malaysia. Data was collected from 1436 individual nurses and responses were aggregated to 300 teams from seven major specialist public hospitals in Peninsular Malaysia. Analysis was done via structural equation modeling using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Results: Results indicated that team skills positively relate to both dimensions of team performance. The findings of this study support previous studies which posit that team members often display team performance behaviors when they perceive that they are collectively competent in task accomplishments.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Since then, it has spread to 215 countries, and 42 million people around the globe are affected. The knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 play a role in determining the acceptance of behavioral change measures from health authorities to suppress this pandemic status. The KAP on COVID-19 is also important among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic to mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19. Hence, this study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 and its association with sociodemographic factors among nursing students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among the Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 nursing students. The questionnaire consists of four parts: 1) demographics, which surveys participants' sociodemographic information; 2) knowledge about COVID-19; 3) attitude towards COVID-19; and 4) practices relevant to COVID-19. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0 was used for data entry and analysis Result: A total of 113 Nursing Students participated in the study. More than half of the respondents have good general knowledge and practices of COVID-19. However, only one in three respondents have positive attitudes towards COVID-19. Older age was associated with good knowledge about COVID-19 (p=0.02). Female (P=0.02) and high household income (P=0.02) has a better attitude towards COVID-19. However, no significant association between sociodemographic and practices towards COVID-19. Conclusion: Most of the respondents demonstrate a good level of knowledge and practices towards COVID-19 but not for attitudes. Sociodemographic characteristics such as younger, male respondents and those with lower-income families have inadequate knowledge and practices towards COVID-19. Hence, health education programs such as campaigns need to be conducted to increase the knowledge and encourage adequate preventive practice towards COVID-19 should be targeted towards this group.

Full textAbstract:
The nursing profession is a much-demanded profession that requires the individual capacity to work under intense physical and emotional dynamics in the workplace. Work related factors cause burnout and need attention from scholars and professionals to reduce the effects of the burnout among nursing staff. This study aimed to examine the meditational role of psychological empowerment and work-life quality on the burnout experiences of nursing staff in Malaysia. This study investigated a sample of 432 nursing staff from 10 registered hospitals in the Selangor area that have been listed on the Malaysian Health Tourism Council (MHTC) website. The responses collected via a self-reported questionnaire, and the data was analyzed using partial least square regression structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings statistically support the argument that the provision of quality of work-life (adequate and fair compensation, constitution in the work organization, safe and healthy working conditions, social integration in the work organization, social relevance of work-life, and work and life span) could promote psychological empowerment among nurses. Psychological empowerment statistically resulted in reducing the burnout effects by mediating the effect of work-life quality (QWL) on burnout. This study contributes to the literature that QWL factors need to be studied separately, and its affects on psychological empowerment, and how psychological empowerment permits curtails the effects of the burnout among nursing staff providing the services to health tourists. This study also provided important implications for the management staff of the nursing industry to initiate the management of burnout with the provision of psychological employment. The present study contributed to the current literature of burnout management through the psychological empowerment provided by the factors of the quality of work life.

Turnover intention is a challenging issue for most of the developed and developing countries. Past studies revealed that there were two common approaches to enhance nurses’ retention. The first approach is focus on recruitment and selection activities as well as establishes more schools and colleges of nursing that will produce more nursing graduate. The second approach is to attract and retain more dedicated and quality professional nursing staff. Substantial studies have confirmed that job satisfaction as a major predictor of turnover intention. Therefore, this paper is mainly focus on identifying significant predictors of job satisfaction which will subsequently reduce turnover intention among staff nurses in Malaysia healthcare industry.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports the findings of a study undertaken with Malaysian nurses who studied for a locally provided part-time post-registration top-up Nursing Degree versus those who studied on a Transnational Higher Education (TNHE) programme. Both types of programmes are bridging courses that allow registered nurses to upgrade their Diploma qualifications to Degree level. What is not sufficiently explored in available literature is nurses’ rationales for choosing a local programme over TNHE programme. Using hermeneutic phenomenology, six Malaysian nurses (chosen by snowball sampling method) were interviewed, in English and Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysian language). Thematic analysis was used to analyse data. The structure of the course and taught theory influenced the nurses’ choice to study on a local programme: the deciding factor was the practice component that ensured a theory-practice connection. The findings principally provide insights to TNHE providers and may guide them to enhance their teaching delivery, support and courses.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global health concern due to the overuse of antibiotics. The impact of the COVID-19 on the antibiotics used to treat bacterial co-infection during hospitalisation led to the emergence of resistant bacteria. In the light of patient care, nursing students should have good knowledge, attitude and practice in educating the patient on the menace of antibiotic resistance. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance during the COVID-19 pandemic among the International Islamic University Malaysia nursing students and determine the relationship between the demographic characteristics and level of knowledge, attitude, and practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 206 nursing students were involved in this study. Convenience sampling was applied, and the study was conducted through an online questionnaire. The data were analysed by using the Chi-square test. Results: Nursing students of the International Islamic University Malaysia have good knowledge, attitude and practice regarding antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance. There was a significant association between the Infection Prevention and Control program and the nursing students' knowledge and practice, with a p-value ? of 0.05. Meanwhile, for the other demographic variables (such as gender, pre-university nursing course and clinical posting experience), there is no significant association (p ? 0.05) with knowledge, attitude and practice among the nursing students. Conclusions: The Infection Prevention and Control program shows a significant association with the knowledge and practice, which implies that nursing students who have participated in this program possessed a better understanding and practice of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance.

Research in paediatric nursing, paediatric psychology, health care management and environment-behaviour studies suggest that there are many obstacles in completing qualitative research in health care settings with children and young people. As a result, the evidence from this kind of research is limited. Both authors have recently completed participatory qualitative studies with children and young people in paediatric environments, both in Malaysia and Australia. These will be briefly described and some of the practical and methodological challenges that each researcher experienced will be discussed. Each challenge has strong implications and potential impact on the research quality; and also on the children and young people’s experience of research.

Introduction: Mentoring is one of the important elements in education as it includes orientation to enhance the tutors’ role, integrating into the education community, teaching and leadership development, scholarship, and service skills. Despite the positive feedbacks and comments on mentoring program, the knowledge and attitude of students towards any problems faced are still unknown or unclear. Thus, this study aims to investigate the knowledge and attitude among nursing students on mentoring program in Kulliyyah of Nursing in IIUM Kuantan. Methods: A quantitative cross- sectional study with convenience sampling was conducted on 188 undergraduate nursing students between October to December 2020. Data were collected via online platform (google form) invited through WhatsApp or email. The questionnaires consist of sociodemographic profile, knowledge, and attitude towards mentoring program. Results: Most students age between 22 to 23 years old (59.5%). Students mainly perceived good knowledge and positive attitude towards mentoring program. There were no association seen between sociodemographic profile and knowledge towards mentoring program (gender p=0.120; age p=0.165; year of study p=0.188) and attitude to mentoring program (gender p=0.241; age p=0.442; year of study p=0.720). However, there was a correlation between knowledge and attitude of nursing students towards mentoring program in Kulliyyah of Nursing (p<0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed there were no effect of sociodemographic profile on knowledge and attitude, however demonstrated of association between their knowledge and attitudes to mentoring program. Thus, the study basically showed that by having a good knowledge on the program, they will tend to have good attitudes and involved in the program accordingly. This finding further implied that more awareness on mentoring program should be executed to boost the student knowledge and attitude. Further research should be explored to look onto students’ needs and how to assist the student through mentoring.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Cancer is one of the major leading causes of childhood death, and the most common type is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The survival rate has increased in recent years; however, the long patient trajectory may trigger psychological distress among caregivers as they play an active role in ensuring that the child’s basic needs are met. Being in a patient-focused system, the needs of caregivers may be neglected. Objective: This study aimed to explore the caregivers' beliefs on children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia caregiving experiences in order to promote their well-being. Methods: Caregivers from thirteen families of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia participated in this phenomenological study. NVivo 12 was used for the thematic analysis of the data. Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) were used in this study. Results: Overall, five main themes for caregivers’ beliefs were identified from their responses: 1) dietary intake with emphasis on its importance in aiding recovery and its potential influence on cancer complications, 2) childcare which emphasized the need to be strong and self-sacrifice, 3) treatment which reflected the use of home or natural remedies and caregivers’ negative perception towards chemotherapy, 4) causes of cancer believed to be linked to early childcare choices on food, beverage, and stress imposed on the child, and 5) source of beliefs that included doctors, online platforms, personal encounters and information on food labels. Conclusion: Caregivers’ beliefs are varied and nuanced, formed in a multicultural social background of Malaysia. These findings provide knowledge for future supportive cancer care for patients, their caregivers, and the treatment outcome in the Malaysian context. Nurses, who play an essential role between healthcare professionals and patients and/or their caregivers, can be empowered to provide psychological support, early detection of psychological distress, and exploration of caregiver beliefs, given that the number of clinical psychologists in Malaysia is lacking, and there is greater preference for care to be provided by doctors or nurses.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, the provision of medical care had received increased attention in the general critical care community [1]. In the neurointensive care unit (neuro ICU), it is important to build a good rapport with their family member as the patient unable to decide for themselves. Assessing relative satisfaction level toward nursing care of neuro patients provides a way to determine whether the nursing care goals were attained. Directly measuring this in patients in the neuro ICU is difficult because of their clinical status. Thus, relative (surrogate) satisfaction is used as a proxy measure [3].
The satisfaction survey, Family Satisfaction-ICU (FS-ICU), has been thoroughly validated in the general critical care population [2]. The survey has been used in many countries which helped in improving the satisfaction of care of the relative caregivers with nursing care [4]. The assessment of the level of satisfaction among relative caregivers towards nursing care is important to enhance the decision-making for the patients. The current study aimed to assess the level of satisfaction among relative caregivers towards nursing care of neuro patients and to determine the relationship between the satisfaction among relative caregivers towards nursing care and decision-making related to patient care in neuro ICU, Hospital USM.
The study was conducted in the neuro ICU ward, Hospital USM. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 respondents using the Malay version of the Family Satisfaction Intensive Care Unit (FS-ICU) questionnaire. The statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation test. There are three items to measure the satisfaction level among relative caregivers towards nursing care which are concern and quality of care toward patients; the service and efforts in meeting their needs; and skills, care, and the atmosphere in the ICU. These items were given the score of 1-5 (very dissatisfied) and 6-10 (very satisfied).
In this study, a total of 80 patients’ relatives were included. The sociodemographic characteristics and the frequency of distribution among participants and their percentage were shown in Table 1. The items for service and effort in meeting their needs (Question 1-6) showed the highest mean score, 9.21 (SD=0.58). Next, the concern and quality of care towards patients (Question 7-12) stated a mean score of 9.20 (SD=0.56), and the items for skills, care, and the atmosphere in the ICU (Question 13-18) stated a mean score of 8.71 (SD=0.71). Taken together, the relative caregivers were satisfied with the treatment and care for the patient. The scores of a single item of the FS-ICU were presented in Table 2. There was a significant correlation between the satisfaction level among relative caregivers towards nursing care and decision-making related to patient care in the neuro ICU, Hospital USM (r = 0.805, p < 0.001) (Table 3).
A previous study reported a significant improvement in client satisfaction scores when a proper education of staff and the development of good strategies for addressing the concerns of family members were applied [5]. Furthermore, the delivery of nursing care was improved by identifying the right communication technique for patients’ care with their relatives [5]. The nurses also created an awareness of good communication with patients’ family members to reduce their anxiety regarding patients’ current progress of treatment [5]. In general, collaboration in deciding has been promoted to incorporate patient and family preferences into the customized treatment plan for an individual [6]. Taken together, a high satisfaction level with the collaboration in decision-making shown in this study might use to enhance the opportunity to improve the satisfaction level among relative caregivers in the ICU.
In conclusion, relative caregivers’ satisfaction has become an important measurement in improving the quality of care for patients in neuro ICU wards. They are expecting the nurses to give the best quality of care to their family members’ despite being unable to express their wishes, lack of knowledge, and fear. Hence, nurses play a major role in understanding the relatives’ concerns and needs in determining the best decision-making for the patients.

In recent years, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has been the new buzzword in Malaysia following governmental policies for integrating digital technologies into the administrative and socioeconomic aspects of life. With the enrolment of new generations of digitally endowed students, the waves of the digital revolution will soon hit the shore of medical education. This commentary proposes the concept of a medical education system that fully adopts the 4IR agenda in teaching and learning basic medical and clinical sciences. The deliberation in this article offers novel avenues for medical teachers to reflect on their roles and preparedness in steering Malaysian medical education towards the foreseeable digitalised future.
