The study found that Thai Muslim nurses explained to die peacefully contains six types: 1) is in agony, 2) to practice their religion and beliefs, 3) be with family and loved ones in the peaceful environment 4) dying patient and their families accepted patients’ illnesses and incoming death; 5) not holding the dying patients’ lives; and 6) is preparing for his own death. The results of this study contribute to an understanding with a view to die peacefully in Thai Muslims nursing. The information can be used to develop research on ways to care for the terminally ill and near death, died peacefully under a variety of religious and cultural.
Transcultural care is an important aspect of patient care. This review paper discusses the influence of Islamic philosophy on the faith and practices of Muslim patients with diabetes mellitus and its musculoskeletal manifestations. Relevant articles were searched from the electronic databases Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, ProQuest, and Science Direct using the keywords “Islamic philosophy, the influence of Islamic Philosophy in Muslim patients, religious practice during sick, fasting months, and sick.” No time limitation was specified for article selection. The database search yielded 170 potential articles. The abstracts of these articles were screened, and 50 full-length manuscripts were obtained, reviewed, and analyzed for their relevance to the subject matter. Discussions rooted in the ontology, epistemology, and methodology of Islamic philosophy were described in detail to provide a sound understanding of its influence on Muslim patients. The ontology of Islamic philosophy is based on four important concepts, namely, the Unity of Allah, the Unity of Creation, the Unity of Thought, and the Unity of Man. The epistemological approach can help Muslim patients search for knowledge on the basis of ontology and three principles, namely, Ilm’ Yaqin, Ainul Yaqin, and Haqqal Yaqin. The ontology and epistemology shape the methodology of Muslim patients’ daily life -according to the Islamic concepts of the Five Pillars and Six True Faiths. The issues patients with diabetes mellitus and its musculoskeletal manifestations encounter usually arise when they need to perform obligations during fasting and prayers. Understanding Islamic philosophy in caring for patients with diabetes is important among healthcare pro-fessionals to provide appropriate care. Better healthcare services may be provided to Muslim patients if their specific needs are fulfilled according to their beliefs and culture.

Abstract Background The study underscores the crucial yet often neglected issue of sexual dysfunction in haemodialysis patients. Despite nephrology nurses'close relationships with patients, there is a significant communication gap on this topic. In China, limited research highlights the need for further study. Objective To describe the perspectives of Chinese nephrology nurses on discussing sexual dysfunction with patients receiving haemodialysis. Design A qualitative descriptive study. Participants Ten Chinese nephrology nurses from a tertiary public hospital in Guizhou province, China. Approach Semistructured interviews were conducted using an interview guide. Qualitative content analysis approach was utilised in analysis. Results There were five themes described: (1) lack of training in sexual education, as nephrology nurses described never being trained to manage patients' sexual health issues; (2) discomfort when discussing sexual topics, Chinese nephrology nurses found the topic of sexual dysfunction embarrassing and avoided discussing it; (3) sexual dysfunction viewed as a nonurgent topic, nephrology nurses prioritise physical health to aid patient survival; (4) belief in physicians as ultimate care advisors, nephrology nurses believed that doctors should handle discussions on sexually related topics; and (5) lack of a suitable environment for discussing sexual dysfunction, nephrology nurses viewed sex as a private matter, inappropriate for discussion in a public unit. Conclusion The study identifies barriers to discussing sexual dysfunction in healthcare, including provider knowledge deficits, discomfort and lack of supportive environments. It recommends specialised training and conducive settings to improve communication in renal care. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between daily activities and sleep durations for patients following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (ePCI) and diagnosed with ischemic heart disease (IHD) after discharge to their homes. The actigraph data were used to collect data from twenty five patients. The duration of night-time sleep (minutes from the start to end of night-time) and actual night-time sleep duration (total sleep duration excluding wake-up durations of night-time) on the seventh day after discharge were divided into three groups; less than 360, 360 to 480, and more than 480 minutes (short, optimal and long respectively). Subsequently, among the three groups of patients, the data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis H-test with multiple comparison procedures using the Scheffé-test in order to compare differences in daytime activity items at seven days after discharge from the hospital. Total daytime nap duration (p p p p < 0.05). However, the duration of night-time sleep and daytime activity did not significantly differ. If actual night-time sleep duration is improved from 360 to 480 minutes, daytime nap could potentially be decreased. Determining objective sleep conditions for patients and treating sleep disorders may improve overall patient health, facilitating appropriate sleep and wake rhythms.
Understanding the true world of children needs a special method. Using aesthetic expressions through artworks with reflections assists nurse researchers in exploring children's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in relation to their health and well-being.This article focuses on the use of aesthetic expressions as innovative data sources in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer.The use of aesthetic expressions in Gadamerian hermeneutic phenomenology and aesthetics, by means of van Manen's approach using draw and write, is examined as a suitable approach in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer.The aesthetic expressions through the Draw-and-Write method of data generation were well-suited to a hermeneutic phenomenological study involving the group of Filipino children living with advanced cancer. The children drew images and figures of themselves, their families, classmates, friends, and teachers in several places and events during the series of two days. The drawings showed their facial expressions, home, parents, hospital stay, school activities, extracurricular activities, and other daily activities.Aesthetic expression linked to art and connected to human experience drew the participants into different realms and expanded their perceptual capacities so that the fullness of the meaning of the experience was appreciated. The understanding of the experience through aesthetic expression provided sensitivity to and awareness of the variation of experience among children with advanced cancer. It is hoped that this paper can contribute to an understanding of aesthetic expressions as pathways to understanding and support health professionals as they embark on their goal of creating or restoring a comfortable relationship with children.
Older adults with dementia are increasing in Japan. Because of this, "communication robots" are being introduced into nursing settings to substitute for the shortage of nurses and other care workers. Our research group is currently developing a humanoid nursing robot with caring function (HNR), specifically for the functional and practical use of older adults with dementia. The purpose of this study was to clarify improvement points of the current function of humanoid robot's (Pepper) (SoftBank Robotics) dialog pattern for improving optimal communication between humanoid robot and older adults. Dialog programs were installed in the humanoid robot Pepper, including the application program Care Prevention Gymnastics Exercises for Pepper (Pepper-CPGE) that was made by Xing Company, Japan. Dialogues between older adults and Pepper-CPGE were recorded by video camera. Data from transcriptions of the conversations captured from video and from field notes were analyzed focusing on human-robot interaction. From the recorded scenes and conversations, the following were points to be improved: 1) Intonation of the words vocalized by Pepper-CPGE was different from that expected by the older adult resulted in inappropriate responses by the older adult; 2) The timing between Pepper's questions and the responses of the older adult were not timely and did not match (differences in the question-response time), which lead to confusion among the older adults; and 3) Other surroundings older adults were interested in the dialogue with Pepper-CPGE. However, Pepper-CPGE cannot communicate with multiple older adults. ImprovingPepper-CPGE's ability to communicate with multiple older adults as an older adult's dialogue with Pepper-CPGE can cause other older adults to also interact not only with the older adult that Pepper-CPGE is interacting with but also with Pepper-CPGE. This study shows that transactive relations among humanoid robots and older adults can be facilitated. Improving communication between humanoid robots and the older adults by optimizing a structured dialogue is needed to enhance appropriate engagement and participation. It is necessary to create a "Caring dialogue Database" for HNRs in order to know the patient/client and to share the aesthetic experiences of human-robot interactions. Also, it is important to develop a dialog pattern that enables humanoid robots to sympathize with older adults.
Introduction Since Intensive Care Units (ICUs) appeared in the United States in the late 1950's, nurses working in them have always cared for the dying patients. A historical reflection of the evolution of caring for dying patients in ICUs would assist in care model development. To discover retrospectively how and why caring for dying patients in the ICUs has changed can support ICU nurses in the present in developing their future care of the dying. Purpose To examine the evolution of caring for dying patients in intensive care units in the United States from 1960–1980. Methods Historical research method was used in this study. Data were obtained from primary and secondary sources, including electronic databases, critical care journals, and text books. Three intensive care nurses who practiced within the timeframe participated in the oral history interviews. The data were analyzed by using content analysis. Validity and reliability were established. Findings The three major themes that emerged were: lack of formal preparation for care of the dying (1960–1980); increased workload and stress (1970–1980); and becoming more concerned about quality of end-of-life care (mid 1970s–1980). Conclusion Nurses and healthcare professionals in the United States and worldwide could use this knowledge as a source to compare and develop their future practices in care for dying patients in the intensive care units.
This phenomenological study describes the lived experience of caring for persons who had a peaceful death in the intensive care units. Ten intensive care nurses in south Thailand participated in individual interviews. Van Manen’s approach was utilized to synthesize data. The lived experience of Thai nurses caring for persons who had a peaceful death is: understanding the other through valuing experience and enhancing relationships with others by recognizing time is short and is a priority. Boykin and Schoenhofer’s theory of nursing as caring provided the theoretical lens for interpreting the meaning of the phenomenon.
Aim: To describe the concept of a peaceful death in intensive care units (ICUs) from the perspective of Thai Buddhist family members. Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was based on data generated from individual in‐depth interviews of nine Thai Buddhist family members from the southern region of Thailand whose loved ones died in adult ICUs. Colaizzi's phenomenological approach was used to analyse the data. Rigour for the study was established by Lincoln and Guga's guidelines for qualitative research studies. Findings: Five core qualities emerged that made‐up the concept of a peaceful death as described by Thai Buddhist family members who cared for their loved ones while they were dying in ICUs. These core qualities were ‘knowing death was impending, preparing for a peaceful state of mind, not suffering, being with family members and not alone, and family members were not mourning’. Conclusion: Thai Buddhist family members described what they meant by a peaceful death. ‘This was: preparing for a peaceful state of mind in knowing that one's impending death is not a situation of suffering or being alone, but rather a time of being with family members who are not yet mourning one's death.’ The findings support that family members should participate in promoting a peaceful death for their loved ones dying in ICUs. Implications for practice: The five core qualities of a peaceful death reported in this study could be used as a framework for nurses to create nursing practice interventions for quality end‐of‐life care for Thai Buddhists.
Background: Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing Instrument (TCCNI) was developed by Rozzano Locsin (2013) to determine the expression of “technological competency” as caring in nursing among practicing nurses. While the TCCNI was translated into other languages, no instrument measuring the ‘technological competency as caring in nursing’ among Japanese nurses was developed and tested. Considering culture and social background influencing measurement of the phenomena, Kato et al. (2016) re-envisioned the TCCNI to focus on caring behaviors of nurses in acute care settings. The Perceived Inventory of Technological Competency of Caring in Nursing (PITCCN) was developed. Aim: The aim of this study is to perform comparative examination between the PITCCN and the TCCNI. Methods: The authors developed the Japanese version of the TCCNI from its original instrument subjecting this to reverse translation using a professional English-to-Japanese-to-English translator who clearly confirmed the accuracy of the translations. In this study, the contents of the item configurations were analyzed and discussed regarding instruments, and the summary of the similarities and differences among researchers who had been involved in the research of caring. The difference between the item configuration of PITCCN and TCCNI was clearly illustrated by a comparative table, and in the case where there was no corresponding item, it was left blank. Results: The commonality between the TCCNI and PITCCN was the holistic focus on patients using information obtained through technologies. Different question items were included to provide highquality outcomes for the PITCCN. Conclusion: Considered useful in order to perform high quality practice in using technology, and to provide high quality nursing. Measured Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing might be able to utilizing for in-service education of hospitals or formalized education in nursing universities.
