Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the effect of Job Satisfaction, Work-Life Balance on the Job Performance of Female Nurses at Klungkung General Hospital. The sample in this study were all female nurses totaling 206 female nurses at the Klungkung General Hospital. Filling out the questionnaire was done using a google form due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it was more effective and efficient. Determination of the sample in this study is using non-probability sampling technique with saturated sampling, namely the technique of determining the sample when all members of the population are used as samples. The saturated sample can also be referred to as a census because all members of the female nurse population are sampled. Data were analyzed using Path Analysis on SPSS Program. The results show that Work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on the performance of female nurses; Work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction of female nurses; Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on nurse performance; and job satisfaction significantly mediate the relationship between the work-life balance on the performance of female nurses.

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to compare the health and lifestyle behaviors between male and female nursing professionals. Biological, workplace, and lifestyle factors as well as health behaviors and outcomes are reported as different between male and female nurses. Although male nurses show distinct health-related patterns and experience health disparities at work, few studies have investigated health differences by sex in a large cohort group of nursing professionals. This observation study of Australian and New Zealand nurses and midwives drew data from an eCohort survey. A cohort of 342 females was generated by SPSS randomization (total N=3625), to compare against 342 participating males. Measures for comparison include health markers and behaviors, cognitive well-being, workplace and leisure-time vitality, and functional capacity. Findings suggest that male nurses had a higher BMI, sat for longer, slept for less time, and were more likely to be a smoker than their female nurse counterparts. Men were more likely to report restrictions in bending, bathing, and dressing. In relation to disease, male nurses reported greater rates of respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease, including a three times greater incidence of myocardial infarction, and were more likely to have metabolic problems. In contrast, however, male nurses were more likely to report feeling calm and peaceful with less worries about their health. Important for nurse workforce administrators concerned about the well-being of their staff, the current study reveals significant sex differences and supports the need for gender-sensitive approaches to aid the well-being of male nurses.

Abstract:

Background. Female nurses appear to have an increased risk of suicide but the reasons are unknown.Method. We have concluded a study of nurse suicides (N = 106) in England and Wales, including a psychological autopsy study (N = 42) and case–control comparison with living nurses (N = 84).Results. Nearly three-quarters of the nurse suicides had previous contact with psychiatric services and almost half had been psychiatric in-patients in the past. There were particularly marked differences between the cases and controls for current psychiatric disorder (90·5% v. 7·1%, OR = 68·5), personality disorder (38·1% v. 1·2%, OR = 32), and history of deliberate self-harm (71·4% v. 2· 4%, OR = 58·5). Family background and social factors (especially concerning interpersonal relationships) also distinguished the two groups. Smoking and serious alcohol abuse were much more frequent in the suicides. There was some indication that while many of the suicides were in contact with psychiatric services, care may not have been optimal in some cases.Conclusions. The most important strategies for suicide prevention in nurses are in prevention, detection and management of psychiatric disorders. In assessing suicide risk a history of DSH and the presence of comorbid psychiatric and personality disorders are particularly important.

Abstract:

In the media, gender stereotypes and biases appear that transmit a sexist representation of women. The aim of this study was to know the sexist stereotypes and biases that are projected on female nurses in advertising campaigns and to identify the characteristics of the female nurse model shown in advertising. A qualitative study was performed on four campaigns featuring female nurses in white dresses and caps, using descriptive and inferential content analysis. Conclusions show that female nurses appearing in advertising transmit both sexist stereotypes (female profession, gentleness, lack of control, strong affectivity, frivolousness, passivity, submissiveness, commitment to basic care, merely sexual and aesthetic value) and sexist biases (androcentrism and double standards). In particular, advertising propagates the model of the seductive nurse, depicted as a young, attractive, sensual and defiant woman that is used merely as a decorative presence.

Abstract:

Abstract British women have hitherto been almost absent from the history of British colonialism in the Middle East, and particularly in Mandate Palestine (1918–48). By using an individual tale of a British nurse as a vantage point, the article explores the personal and professional experiences of British nurses in Mandate Palestine and scrutinizes their contested status. As women, as British, as medical practitioners, and specifically as nurses, British nurses present a singular type of local-level imperial agent who confronted multiple challenges to their identities. Empowered as imperial agents of health, biomedicine, and hygiene, they had exercised professional, cultural, and racial authority over indigenous people. At the same time, their gender, vocation, and marital status have limited their scope of influence within a male-dominated medical hierarchy, as well as locate them at the lower strata of British colonial society. Nurses’ tales thus offer a unique perspective for investigating colonial power relations and the intersections of medicine, gender, race, and class.

Abstract:

Introduction: It's a fact that nursing is a profession where most of their components are women, nevertheless, responsibility and decision-making positions aremainly occupied bymale nurses, and this is like this in spite of that they only represent 16 % of the professional contingent. The tokenism explains well this reality. Objectives: To value if the female nurse suffers discrimination inside the own profession, in the nurses' union and in the professional association. To verify if in the responsibility positions inside the Regional Health Services, the nurse is still relegated to other health professionals or not. Methodology: Bibliography researches weremadein various databases using the keywords and selecting with the ten years filter articles in Spanish and English, and official databases were revised (INE, EPA, CGE, SATSE and websites of the Regional Health Services). Results: The 84 % of the professionals nurses are females, although in the 15 Regional Nurses Councils consulted, there are only 5 chairwomen. In the SATSE, 58 %of secretariats are occupied bywomen, percentage that is not appropriate with the gender distribution in this collective. It is also alleged that nurses are not present as managers of Health Services. Discussion: It has been shown that nursing, despite being a feminized profession, has to deal with the phenomenon of the token in their ownworld somen dominate positions of power as evidenced by the data. Conclusions:The female nurse is still in an inferior position both inside and outside the profession. Keywords: nurse, tokenism, glass escalator, feminization.

Abstract:

Nurses often experience work-related physical and mental fatigue. This study sought to identify the levels of physical and mental fatigue present among Korean female nurses and discern factors influencing their onset. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the Korea Nurses’ Health Study (KNHS). A total of 14,839 hospital nurses were assessed by hierarchical regression analysis. The mean scores of physical and mental fatigue were 12.57 and 5.79 points, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, the work department had a significant influence on both physical and mental fatigue, that is, nurses working in special care units experienced greater degrees of both physical and mental fatigue than those working in general units. Nurse fatigue is an important consideration to monitor to ensure nurses’ continued wellbeing as well as good patient safety levels. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a strategy to mitigate nursing fatigue while considering the characteristics of specific departments. In nursing practice, the introduction of a counseling program and guarantee of rest time that can alleviate the mental and physical fatigue of nurses working in special care units should be considered.

Abstract:

Acquaintance with the writing of nurses would help instructors design assignments for nursing students who enroll in basic technical writing courses. Based on secondary research, samples of nursing documentation, and interviews with seventy-six bedside nurses, thirty nurse managers, and five nurse consultants, this study discusses the importance of writing tasks for nurses and describes the most common documents nurses generate. Good writing skills for nurses improve healthcare delivery and promote empowerment in a predominantly female profession. However, most of the bedside nurses and all the nurse managers and consultants believe nurses have significant writing problems. This article suggests instruction in six communication principles and several types of assignments that would help prepare nursing students in technical writing courses for future writing activities.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe how nursing and nurses are portrayed in American and Turkish movies. Methods: First of all, we examined the films with the keywords nurse and nursing. The majority of the films were produced in the United States. Turkish film industry produced only six films between 1968 and 2020. Three movies from the United States (English Patient, Nurse Betty, Meet the Parents) and three movies from Turkey (Beautiful Coffee Server, Imperator, Brought by the Sea) with at least one nurse character with a significant part were covered. Thematic qualitative method was used to analyze the movies’ content. Results: All nurses, except one, were female, white, young, single, and childless. In “English Patient”, the nurse is portrayed mainly as a self-sacrificing character. In “Nurse Betty”, nursing is seen as a profession that can be done without education. “Meet the Parents” draws attention to common stereotypes about male nurses. In “Beautiful Coffee Server”, the nurse character is typically reduced to a supporting role, enforcing the message to the viewer that nurses were not really needed in healthcare. “Imperator” emphasizes the nurse’s sexual attractiveness and behavior rather than her professional work. And finally, in “Brought by the Sea”, portrayal of nurse creates a potent favorable image of nursing. Conclusion: Study findings show that movies, except “Brought by the Sea”, do not represent the reality. Nurses should be aware of the way they are portrayed in movies and team up with the media to effectively create a down to earth and accurate image of nursing.

Abstract:

Purpose – Literature has shown that mentoring and career development programmes can assist women and minority groups in pursuit of more senior roles. The Challenging Perceptions 12-month, multi-faceted career development and mentoring programme was specifically designed to aid female mental health participants in their attempts to break the glass ceiling, which can be apparent within senior levels of the UK National Health Service. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a career development and mentoring programme on female mental health nurses' career and personal development compared to a matched comparison group. Design/methodology/approach – A longitudinal, qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews conducted with female mental health nurse participants and a matched control group at four time points, six months apart over an 18-month period. Female mental health nurses at F, G, H, I and Nurse Consultant Level who applied to participate in the programme were selected by a panel consisting of members of the project team and subsequently randomly allocated a group. Twenty-seven female mental health nurses experienced the programme and 27 female mental health nurses constituted a comparison group. Findings – Experience as programme participant influenced the career and personal development of participants, particularly compared to the matched control group. Career development outcomes included promotion and additional learning/study. Personal development outcomes included increased self-confidence and increased satisfaction with ability to deliver quality patient care. Originality/value – Career development and mentoring programmes designed to affect diversity have an important role to play in fostering the career and personal development of nurses in healthcare organisations.

Abstract:

being a nurse is not just a matter of restoring a patient's physical health. More than that, nurses have an obligation to provide mental support to patients in order to remain optimistic about achieving recovery. What's more, to patients infected with COVID-19. The testimony of one of the nurses stated that he understood anyone who was infected with COVID-19 had the opportunity to experience a mental breakdown and that is where the humanist duty of a nurse was tested. The purpose of this study is to explain the performance of female nurses affected by triple roles conflict and job stress who they work at an accredited government hospital in Bali. The population in this research was married women and has children and for respondents were 52 nurses. The data analysis used regression analysis techniques. The results of this study found that triple roles conflict had a negative and significant effect on the performance of nurses. There was a negative and significant influence between job stress and performance of nurses. Also, there was a simultaneous negative influence between triple roles conflict and job stress on the performance of nurses. It can be concluded that there was an influence between triple roles conflict and job stress on women nursing performance partially or simultaneous. Therefore, female nurses, as well as housewives who have triple role conflict and job stress, are expected to have good time management that can improve aspects of their performance so be able to carry out their duties, and no one role is neglected.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between sleep and psychomotor vigilance in female nurses and the changes in these variables over time. Participants comprised 16 staff registered nurses (10 day, 6 night; aged 30–65 years [ M = 47.6; SD = 8.1]) who wore wrist actigraphs continuously and completed a 10-min psychomotor vigilance test (PVT-192, Ambulatory Monitoring, Inc., Ardsley, New York) and the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) in their homes before and after work for three consecutive 24-hr periods. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that night nurses slept significantly less than day nurses, F(1, 15) = 26.06, p ≤ .001; M = 227.88 ± 37.03 min versus M = 365.75 ± 59.01 min, respectively, daily for three consecutive days. Night nurses napped more frequently and had more changes in the length of their main sleep periods than day nurses. Day nurses reported more wake episodes during main sleep periods. Night nurses were sleepier after work than day nurses; both groups had increased sleepiness after work for the first 2 days and similar psychomotor vigilance test results. These findings suggest that sleep deprivation, irregular sleep patterns, and sleepiness are significant issues for shiftworking nurses. Future study of the characteristics of sleep and sleepiness in a larger sample would be useful to evaluate the focus for interventions to improve sleep and alertness in shiftworking nurses.

Abstract:

Abstract Over 50 percent of older residents in nursing homes (NHs) fall each year. Many falls occur among NH patients with cognitive impairment and behavioral symptoms. Although NH nurses caring for patients who fall intervene to prevent fall recurrence, we know little about nurse’s perceptions of the most effective interventions for management of falls related to behavioral symptoms. The purpose of this qualitative study is to describe and analyze nurse’s perceptions of fall prevention interventions believed to be due to behavioral symptoms. This secondary analysis of existing qualitative data was conducted from a multi-site parent study in three NHs in the northeastern U.S. designed to test nurse’s knowledge of falls prevention and interventions. Forty-seven registered or licensed practical nurses, English speaking who were full or part time employees were recruited to participate. Most were female (n=46; 98.7%) with a median age of 49.5 years and ten years experience. A grounded theory approach was used to explore qualitative data (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) about nurse’s primary and secondary interventions. Qualitative data were collected in the form of responses to open ended questions from 47 nurses. The correctness of nurse interventions were independently evaluated, then validated among two independent experts. Cohen’s κ was used to determine if there was agreement between the experts’ judgement on correctness of the nurses’ intervention. Results indicated a high level agreement between expert evaluations (κ =.727-.760, p<.001). Emergent themes in the nurse interventions included: seeking outside help, confronting behavior, completing additional assessments, and patient reassurance.

Abstract:

This study is focused on knowing the Quality of Life of hospital nurses, and associated factors. People surveyed are composed of 100 female nurses from a hospital, eighth region, Chile. The measuring method is a questionnaire - oriented to know bio-social-demographic variables that influence nurses - and the WHOQOL-BREF quality of life measuring scale, validated in Chilean population. Results show that Domain Social Relationship (mean=77,38) is perceived as the best by female nurses, and Physical as the worst (mean=54,56). Global Quality of Life is seen as "Good" (mean=3,99) and Health Quality of Life is perceived as "Conforming" (mean=3,97). Variables predicted for Quality of Life are: age, couple situation and night shifts. Given the results, being a female nurse, and her threefold role; new studies for deeper research, especially on those variables that were not statistically relevant, are suggested.

Abstract:

This study aimed to assess the degree of satisfaction of 233 Saudi female nurses with their work and to study the factors that might increase their satisfaction. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. More than 87% and 92% of nurses were satisfied with their work place and the role assigned respectively. The majority of them preferred one-shift duty because of social and family obligations. To increase their satisfaction there is a need to improve the social attitude towards the nursing profession and to provide more comfortable working conditions.

Abstract:

Purpose. To investigate sleep quality of hospital staff nurses, both by subjective questionnaire and objective measures.Methods. Female staff nurses at a regional teaching hospital in Northern Taiwan were recruited. The Chinese version of the pittsburgh sleep quality index (C-PSQI) was used to assess subjective sleep quality, and an electrocardiogram-based cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) technique was used to analyze objective sleep stability. Work stress was assessed using questionnaire on medical worker’s stress.Results. A total of 156 staff nurses completed the study. Among the staff nurses, 75.8% (117) had a PSQI score of ≥5 and 39.8% had an inadequate stable sleep ratio on subjective measures. Nurses with a high school or lower educational degree had a much higher risk of sleep disturbance when compared to nurses with a college or higher level degree.Conclusions. Both subjective and objective measures demonstrated that poor sleep quality is a common health problem among hospital staff nurses. More studies are warranted on this important issue to discover possible factors and therefore to develop a systemic strategy to cope with the problem.

Abstract:

This study empirically examines the determinants of registered nurses' job satisfaction. Our results indicate that the most satisfied nurse is a young CRNA who is female, married, and not in a union. The profile of the least satisfied nurse is a staff nurse who is male, non-married, unionized, and earns a low salary and works many hours.

Abstract:

Workplace bullying has been experienced by 27% to 80% of nurses who have participated in studies. Bullying behaviors negatively impact the health of nurses. This study examined whether nurses’ resilience had an impact on the effects of bullying on the nurse’s health. This cross-sectional descriptive study surveyed licensed registered nurses in one state. The sample ( N = 345) was predominately female (89%) and Caucasian (84%), with an average age of 46.6 years. In this sample, 40% of nurses were bullied. Higher incidence of bullying was associated with lower physical health scores ( p = .002) and lower mental health scores ( p = .036). Nurses who are bullied at work experience lower physical and mental health, which can decrease the nurses’ quality of life and impede their ability to deliver safe, effective patient care.

Abstract:

40 Background: In cancer home hospice, families provide 24/7 care with support from a nurse-led hospice team. Effective patient-caregiver-nurse communication can facilitate a “shared understanding,” resulting in better patient caregiver outcomes. Shared understanding may be evidenced by high similarity in language usage/meaning. Objective: Describe communication caregiver-nurse similarity (relatedness in word usage/meaning) in cancer home hospice using latent semantic analysis (LSA) and to identify nurse communication processes, confidence, and preferences that predict communication similarity. Methods: As part of a larger study, nurse home hospice visits to spouse cancer caregivers were audio recorded. Interaction analysis was used to quantify caregiver and nurse emotion talk, nurse partnering, and nurse dominance (ratio of total nurse/caregiver talk). Nurses completed questionnaires to capture preference for patient oriented care and confidence in their communication. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using LSA, a tool that assesses the similarity of communication (range 0-1 where higher scores indicate greater similarity). Descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations were calculated. Results: 31 nurse-caregiver home hospice interactions were analyzed. Nurses were female, average age 44.03 (SD = 9.8), with an average 14.6 years experience. Spouse caregivers were 77% female, average age 64.7 (SD = 10.9). The average LSA score was .83 (range = .66-.89). Higher LSA values were significantly associated with more nurse partnering (r = .36, p = .05) and lower nurse dominance (r = -.39, p = .03), but not caregiver or nurse emotion talk (ps > .05). Higher LSA values also predicted more nurse-reported preference for patient-oriented care (r = -.75, p < .01) and lower nurse communication confidence (r = -.46, p = .01). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that hospice nurses who are more patient-oriented, listen to and encourage caregivers’ concerns are more likely to use concordant meaning and language usage in their home hospice visits. Further research should examine if a nurse’s use of language similarity strategies improve caregiver understanding, competency and satisfaction with care.

Abstract:

AbstractAs nursing students are increasingly studying abroad and returning to their home countries to practice, it is important to identify international nursing students’ reentry transition to understand their reentry needs. Phenomenological inquiry was used to describe the reentry experience of seven Omani nurses after studying in the United States. The nurses’ reentry experience was influenced by the personal and professional transformation from studying abroad and included themes of adaptation to cultural differences and service to themselves, their profession, and their nation. These nurses returned home to resume previous roles; they were changed and this required them to redefine and adapt to their roles within their families and workplace. Nurses returning from international study could benefit from a formal reentry program to assist their transition to family, community, and professional life and to enhance the nurses’ contribution from their international education.

Abstract:

We allocated 278 patients, who said they were asymptomatic and agreed to be randomized to a nurse or doctor clinic, to appointments using a random number system. In all, 35 patients did not attend and 16 were excluded because they did not meet the entry criteria. We used a screening protocol which excluded microscopy from the immediate assessment of patients. The outcome measures were completeness of documentation, proportion of patients accepting HIV tests, infections detected and patient satisfaction. Overall, 3% of items were not completed by doctors and 6% by nurses. HIV tests were carried out on 65% of patients who saw a doctor and 52% who saw a nurse. Thirteen infections were detected by doctors and 27 by nurses. No new cases of gonorrhoea, syphilis or HIV infection were identified. Eighty-eight patients completed a questionnaire after their attendance. Almost all patients were very satisfied with the service and most were prepared to see a nurse on a subsequent visit. We concluded that there are few differences between the performance of doctors and nurses in routine screening of asymptomatic patients.

Abstract:

There has been limited research exploring the beliefs and attitudes of male patients regarding the gender of their nurses. These attitudes, as well as the factors affecting the gender-preference of male patients, must be explored in a flexible, holistic manner. The objective of our study was to explore key aspects of male patients’ beliefs and attitudes about the gender of their nurses in the hospital setting, as well as the factors that influenced those perceptions. We employed a descriptive, qualitative, cross-sectional design. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews, which were transcribed verbatim. A deductive and inductive approach using content analysis of each question was used to analyse the data. Ten male patients were interviewed. Initially, participants reported no gender preference for their nurses. The majority agreed that the nature of the task did not matter in their preference for a male or female nurse. Most suggested that females were inherently better suited to nursing than males due to their ability to be caring, nurturing, and detail-oriented. Bussey and Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory of Gender Development and Differentiation was supported and provided a suitable framework for the study. There is a need for educational institutions to determine new ways to teach male nursing students to be caring, nurturing, and detail-oriented. Whether nurses are male or female, having a caring approach is important to patients, as well as possessing other ‘ideal’ characteristics.

Abstract:

Background: Clinical investigation is a growing field employing increasing numbers of nurses. This has created a new specialty practice defined by aspects unique to nursing in a clinical research context: the objectives (to implement research protocols and advance science), setting (research facilities), and nature of the nurse–participant relationship. The clinical research nurse role may give rise to feelings of ethical conflict between aspects of protocol implementation and the duty of patient advocacy, a primary nursing responsibility. Little is known about whether research nurses experience unique ethical challenges distinct from those experienced by nurses in traditional patient-care settings. Research objectives: The purpose of the study was to describe the nature of ethical challenges experienced by clinical research nurses within the context of their practice. Research design: The study utilized a qualitative descriptive design with individual interviews. Participants and research context: Participating nurses (N = 12) self-identified as having experienced ethical challenges during screening. The majority were Caucasian (90%), female (83%), and worked in outpatient settings (67%). Approximately 50% had > 10 years of research experience. Ethical considerations: The human subjects review board approved the study. Written informed consent was obtained. Findings: Predominant themes were revealed: (1) the inability to provide a probable good, or/do no harm, and (2) dual obligations (identity as a nurse vs a research nurse). The following patterns and subthemes emerged: conflicted allegiances between protocol implementation, needs of the participant, desire to advance science, and tension between the nurse–patient therapeutic relationship versus the research relationship. Discussion: Participants described ethical challenges specific to the research role. The issues are central to the nurse–participant relationship, patient advocacy, the nurse’s role in implementing protocols, and/or advancing science. Conclusion: Ethical challenges related to the specialized role of clinical research nurses were identified. More research is warranted to fully understand their nature and frequency and to identify support systems for resolution.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the study on antecedents of employee performance is of great importance. This paper aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of female nurses’ performance antecedents, with organizational commitment as a mediating variable. The variables of work-life balance and organizational justice are also analyzed. The study was carried out at four government hospitals in the Indonesian province of Bali, with 285 female nurses as respondents. The paper employs total sampling as a sampling technique. SmartPLS software was used to perform data analysis using partial least squares. The findings show that various antecedents of female nurses’ performance have a significant positive effect. However, organizational justice has no significant effect. The results revealed a link between different female nurses’ performance antecedents. With a t-statistic value of 7.986, organizational commitment is more effective than the other antecedents. The results revealed a partially mediating effect of work-life balance with a t-statistic value of 3.493. In addition, the effect of organizational justice is fully mediated based on a t-statistic value of 5.097. This study suggested that female nurses’ pay should be calculated based on their workload and job risks.

Abstract:

Background and Aim: Nurses are the principal oral healthcare providers for hospitalized patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses at a mental health hospital in Saudi Arabia regarding oral health care of the hospitalized patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used in which 247 nursing staff completed a questionnaire that collected sociodemographic information, knowledge, and practices regarding oral health maintenance of patients and their attitudes toward oral health care of psychiatric patients. The chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used to examine group differences. Results: A total of 247 (136 males and 111 females) nursing staff were involved in the survey with the mean age of 26 ± 32 years. Results showed significant gender differences in knowledge and practices, but no gender differences in attitudes. Male nurses were more likely to look at teeth and gums for signs of a healthy mouth (male = 97.8%, female = 95.5%, P = .04), used toothpaste to clean the patient’s teeth (male = 52.9%, female = 50.5%, P = .03), and believed that HIV/AIDS patients are at risk of developing oral health problems (male = 50.7%, female = 43.2%, P = .04). Nurses had more knowledge than nurse technicians regarding gum disease and dental abscesses ( P = .0001). Nursing staff with over five years of experience were more likely to agree about the need for the oral health care of hospitalized patients. Conclusion: The results emphasize the need for training of healthcare workers about the importance of oral health and considering oral health care as a patient’s rights rather than privilege.

Abstract:

Background: The plantar fascia can further encounter a form of pathological degeneration called as plantar fasciitis that is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is a multifactorial in origin and works as a mechanical overloading reaction to multiple instances of microtrauma. Purpose: This research will rule out the prevalence of plantar fasciitis in nurses both male and female with the help of windlass test and also make us aware about the correlation of plantar fasciitis among males and females. Methodology: A simple random sampling of 100 healthy nurses, 70 female nurses and 30 male nurses from Pravara Institute, Loni was included. The participants included were between age group of 20-50 years and were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Windlass test was performed in all the recruited participants. The test was done both in non-weightbearing (NWB) and weightbearing (WB) position. If pain was reproduced, the subject then marked the location of the pain. If pain was provoked then the test was considered positive. Result: The windlass test (weight bearing and non-weight bearing) showed that out of 100 participants 21% tested positive; out of which 17% females and 4% males responded positive in the study. Conclusion: The study concluded that female nurses are more prone to develop plantar fasciitis when compared with male nurses.

Abstract:

Abstract Historically, female nurse leaders endeavoured to make nursing a profession by establishing nursing organisations that could act as agents of change. They were hampered by sociocultural notions of gender: men dominating society, politics, and the economy. Nurses therefore needed positive working relationships with male leaders. In South Africa, such gender dynamics led to the South African Nursing Association (SANA), being influenced by a political system, that is, apartheid, which had dire consequences for the profession. This article illustrates that historically the emerging nursing profession was intimately connected with a changing society: female nurses strove for economic and professional independence but were confined by a male-dominated (medical) society. South African female nurse leaders never openly challenged the political status quo. It is recommended that current South African nursing organisations advocate for gender equality and clarify how they can foster a health-care environment in which gender diversity is the norm.
