PPREFACE

Nowadays, holistic health service has been developed in various parts of both western and
eastern worlds and is regarded as a necessity by most public health services users. Attention
to physical well-being of biological, psychological, social environmental aspects and belief of
developing local knowledge proves to be accepted by society so as to restore the health status
of individuals who are sick in a faster time. High demand of the community on holistic health
care is a challenge for health providers to be able to continue to develop themselves in the
search of quality service forms which are scientifically proven.

Nurses as one of the many health professionals who, in many times, stay close to clients
should always develop themselves in order to provide optimal nursing care and keep up with
development of technology and science of nursing. This is of course to meet the high demand
of public on better and quality health care services. The logical consequence of the magnitude
of people's demand for quality services is the nurses opened insights to the progress of
science and technology both in the field of health in general and nursing. To do so, complete
and diverse rides and facilities are needed to be able to access the latest science emerging in
the world of nursing.

The development of modern information technology increasingly facilitates nurses to access


the latest science and technology that occurs in parts of both western and eastern world
without having to move to a place where science was developed. However, exchange
opinions about science and experience in the nursing field directly in a scientific forum is a
very effective medium to share science and knowledge because it allows direct confirmation
with the concerned researchers, practitioners, and other information resources. This can
minimize the possibility of misinterpretation of one individual to another individual.

Answering the need of information as mentioned above, the Java International Nursing
Conference 2012 (JINC 2012) is conceived as a form of a scientific forum that aims to bridge
the exchange of science, knowledge and ideas related to the advancement of holistic nursing
iv

which occurs in parts of the western and eastern world. It then can be developed together for
the progress of nursing science which will certainly result in high quality nursing service to
the community. The Java International Nursing Conference 2012 is the succession of the first
similar conference organized in October 2012. The conference is opened to all participants
from Indonesian and foreign countries that concern with the development of nursing and
health care services.

Welcome Speech

A WELCOME SPEECH BY THE PROJECT MANAGER


Assalamualaikum warahmatullaahi wabarokaatuh
First of all, lets us thank God who has given us his blessings and also a great opportunity so
that we can be here in good health to attend the 2nd Java International Nursing Conference
2012 held in Prof. Soedarto building of Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to welcome all attendees who have been
here this morning and give their valuable contribution towards the running of this event. The
2nd Java International Nursing Conference 2012 is proudly presented by School of Nursing,
Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University in collaboration with School of Health Sciences
of Muhammadiyah Gombong, Central Java, Indonesia.
This year conference is the succession of the 1st Java International Nursing Conference which
was organized two years ago on October 2010. The last conference had been successful to
play its significant role as a forum which gathered researchers and practitioners from local
and international to share their knowledge, ideas, innovations, experiences and many others as
well as to establish good networking. All those benefits showed that conference is one of the
effective scientific forums to disseminate any advancement of science especially nursing.
We also hope that this years conference is also successful to bridge the sharing of
information and advancement of nursing among all attendees. East Meets West on Holistic
Nursing has been chosen as the theme of the conference with regards the current issues of
nursing advances which view that efforts to improve human health should be done by
considering all aspects holistically.

The view of the eastern and western countries towards holistic nursing service gives us clear
idea that any nursing care provided to patients should pay attention to local cultures and
wisdoms prevailing in the society. It is with an aim that nursing services we provide will be in
line with the culture and faith of the community. By this year conference, we hope to be able
to address the needs of nursing both for the eastern and the western so as to provide the best

Welcome Speech

service for the community. By the spirit togetherness, we believe that we can contribute to
nursing development in the world.
The 2nd Java International Nursing Conference 2012 is attended by many participants from
diverse cities, regions and islands from Indonesia and some countries abroad. The conference
presents the speakers who are expert in their fields from Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and USA.
We really appreciate and thank them for all their contributions.

This conference would be impossible without great support from Undip, Central Java and
Semarang city government, participants, members of organizing committee, and all
collaboration parties. And on this very special occasion, I would like to thank the Vice
Governor of Central Java, the Rector of Diponegoro University, the Dean of Faculty of
Medicine of Diponegoro University, the Head of Nursing School of Diponegoro University,
all invited speakers, guests, and all participants both local and international for their great
supports on the organization of this conference.

As the chairperson of this conference, I would also thank all members of the organizing
committee who have worked so hard to seek for the best for the running of this conference.
Personally I would apologize for any inconvenience that you may have along with the
preparation of this conference. I hope this conference will develop our insights on advanced
nursing sciences and practices and become a foundation for nursing development in the
future.

Finally, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to request the Vice Governor of
Central Java to officially open this conference. I wish you all a successful conference and
very pleasant stay in Semarang, Central Java. Thank you very much.

Development and Implementation of Holistic Nursing in Thailand


Urai Hatthakit1
This paper aims to describe and discuss the development and implementation of holistic nursing in
Thailand. The paper discusses about: 1) situation of health problems; health care, the use of
complementary therapy, and holistic nursing; 2) application of holistic nursing in education, practice,
and research in Thailand; 3) evidence-based practice of holistic nursing and complementary therapy;
and 4) the challenges and strategies in applying holistic nursing.
Situation of health problems, health care, the use of complementary therapy, and holistic
nursing
A shift of health problems from infectious acute diseases to noninfectious chronic diseases that are
caused mainly by unhealthy lifestyle such as overwork, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and lack of
stress management skills calls more attention on holistic health care and an integration of
complementary therapy to care. Holism is viewed more than an absence of disease. It is a state of
balance of physical, emotional, social and spiritual/ intellectual health. In order to battle with
noninfectious chronic diseases, the Thai government has implemented a new strategy called the
Thailand Healthy lifestyle Strategic Plan (BE 2550-2559) that is a contented lifeway and the use of
Thai Traditional Medicine to promote a healthy and peaceful life. Currently, complementary therapy
especially Thai Traditional Medicine have been fully integrated into all aspects of healthcare. The
governmental hospitals are encouraged to provide Thai Traditional Medicine such as massage, sauna
and spa, and some Thai herbal medicines approved by the government, where appropriate to serve the
demand of the clients. Health insurance covers some complementary therapies such as massage, and
some Thai herbal medicines. Formal education in Thai Traditional Medicine and complementary
therapy is available at the university level. The Department of Thai Traditional Medicine has recently
launched a project to build Thai Traditional Medicine Hospitals in every region of the country. The
first Thai Traditional Hospital is undergoing construction in North Eastern region of the country. This
reflects that complementary therapy has been well accepted by the country health authority. However,
in the area of nursing at the national level in Thailand, issues of policy, and regulation related to
complementary therapy are still lacking. The aspects of nursing education, practice and research have
been initiated and made a great progress by many universities including PSU.
Holistic nursing and integrated care: practice, education and research in Thailand
Holistic nursing has been identified as an essence and unique feature of nursing. It is called upon as
justification for the use of alternative therapies, as instruction to good practice, and as a unique
professional identity in nursing. Within holistic nursing practice, caring is considered as an integral
component that aims to foster healing and wholeness while complementary therapy is used where
appropriate to manage health problems, facilitate holism and promote self-reliance on health.
Caring means connectedness or involvement. It is a fundamental principle of the profession of nursing
and unique to the care expressed through the practice of nursing. The components of 3 H in nursing
(Head, Hand, Heart) representing knowledge, touch, and compassion/ presence are essential to the
construct of caring. The effect of caring expressed through knowledge, touch, and compassion helps
unite body, mind, and spirit to create healing. This holistic caring process results in more holistic
patient care and greater nurse satisfaction.
Knowledge: Within the science and art of nursing, nurse uses knowledge of health, medication, health
technology, complementary therapy, social sciences, and knowledge in philosophy, art, music,
language, religion, history, and ethics including professional values. This knowledge informs the

holistic nurses understanding of health and healing and applying the knowledge about complementary
therapy and practice that a client might use to improve their health. Nurses also can help in providing
information about complementary therapy that is beneficial for the clients in decision making in using
complementary therapy for their health. Hence, nurses equipped with good knowledge and high
nursing competency contribute to the trust and respect on nurses and positive health outcomes of the
clients while unsatisfactory level of nurses knowledge leads to negative health outcomes (Simonsen,
et al, 2011; WHO, 2010).
Touch: The use of touch is an inherent component of the provision of nursing care (Lawler, 1991). A
number of studies have explored touch within nursing practice from different perspectives and have
emphasized it to be a very powerful means of communication that is an aspect of caring central to
nursing practice (Bottorff, 1993; Sims, 1988; Weiss, 1979). Touch can enhance communications and
facilitate social interaction including information giving and the expression of feelings (Fraser & Ross
Kerr, 1993; Tutton, 1987; Sims, 1988). Touch in nursing is an integral aspect of day-to-day care
(Estabrooks& Morse, 1992). This nursing touch is considered as an instrumental touch (Estabrooks&
Morse, 1992) performed through nursing procedures, and as expressive touch (Vickers, 1996)
performed to comforting and calming (Fisher, Gilbert, 1995; Joseph, 1989; Routasalo, Isoal, 1996)
reassuring, caring others (Sammons, 2011). Studies of massage showed positive effects on pain,
symptom distress, and sleep difficulty while studies of therapeutic touch (off-body/gentle touch)
showed to facilitate the flow of energy resulting pain relief. However, it should be aware of culture
and patients attitude on touch.
Compassion: Compassion is a fundamental element of nursing care (Dietze, Orb, 2007). It is care
provision in a dignified manner, warm, sensitive and compassionate way to enhance healing, comfort,
satisfaction, peace, acceptance, confidence, and reassurance (Cingel, 2009; Gibert, 2010). Compassion
means sensitivity to the pain and suffering of another. In Buddhist view, compassion is the desire to
act upon the suffering of other. It is an ethical behavior involving patience and generosity in action
(Michie, 2008). It challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to
weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the
vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless (Smith, 2010). Similarly, Schantz (2007) states that
compassion impels and empowers people to not only acknowledge, but also action. This involves
focusing on another persons needs and channelling the emotion generated by their predicament into
an active response.
Boykin and Schoenhofer in their theory of Nursing as Caring describe hearing and responding to the
call for nursing. This call doesnt need to be for nursing.it can be the call for service in any given
situation. Again, listening is a key. We must awaken be wide awake to hear the call.listen with our
eyes, ears and hearts. Because messages come in many ways. Respond to the call. It may not be fixing
something.it may be bearing witness to the suffering and being a sojourner with the other on the
suffering journey.
Presence: Presence is important in healing relationship. It is giving full attention to the other in the
moment. Watson and Smith state that transpersonal caring is communicated via the nurses energetic
patterns of consciousness, intentionality and authentic presence in a caring relationship. True presence
is more than just showing up, it is a capability to empathize, listen, reflect, and observe - to be with the
client at that moment (Potter and Frisch, 2007). Being-with or presence is one of Swansons caring
processes. She says it is being fully present to the other involves simply being there, conveying
ongoing availability. She warns that being with is tempered so that the one caring does not burden the
one cared for or that presence isnt sharing information about self or using the other to get ones own
needs met.
Integration of complementary therapy into nursing practice is not a new idea. Nurses in many
countries including the USA, England widely use them to accomplish the goals of nursing. The
position of complementary therapy and guideline of using complementary therapy in nursing have
been stated clearly by nursing organizations in many countries. In Thailand, I and my colleagues have
22

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

conducted a survey on factors influencing integration of complementary therapy into nursing practice
in the southern region of Thailand (Hatthakit et al., 2011). The study was conducted with 557 nurses
working in primary, secondary and tertiary health care settings. The findings indicated that about 40%
of the nurses have obtained some trainings related to complementary therapy. The most frequent
training of complementary therapy taken by them was meditation (27.8%). The extent of integration of
complementary therapy into care was reported in 3 roles: as a healer, a facilitator and a coordinator.
All of these roles as well as the overall level of integration were at a moderate level even though their
attitude and knowledge related to complementary therapy were at a high level. This was probably due
to inadequate skills, supporting policies and health resources related to complementary therapy
available at their workplace. It has been documented that organizational policy was very important to
influence the integration of complementary therapy into the care. Importantly, the nurses perceived
barriers of integrated nursing practice are lack of a clear practice guideline, and lack of incentives/
motivations.

Application of holistic nursing and complementary therapy in nursing: education, practice and
research
Integration of holistic nursing concept and complementary therapy in nursing curriculum
It is clear that the concept of holistic nursing has been integrated into curricula for all the bachelor
degrees in nursing in Thailand with different extent. Most nursing programs have integrated holistic
nursing concept in the subjects such as nursing theories, health promotion, community health nursing,
and etc. However there is no specific program on holistic nursing provided. Some nursing institutions
provide selective courses emphasizing on holistic nursing and complementary therapy.
Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University has also integrated holistic nursing and
complementary therapy into its all nursing programs; the undergraduate andgraduate programs. There
are several related selective subjects have been offered for graduate program such as Complementary
Therapies and Nursing Therapeutics, and Holistic Nursing and Eastern Healthcare Modalities. The
success of the teaching requires many strategies involving both the practice and policy level such as
curriculum encompassing holistic nursing in education and practice, creating healing-caring
environment, and policyand facilities supporting holistic nursing practice.
Research in holistic nursing and complementary therapy
Research in the area of holistic nursing and complementary therapy has been widely conducted in
Thailand. Most of them explores the effects of complementary therapies in particular the eastern
therapies on health, for examples, meditation, massage, relaxation techniques, yoga and taichi.
However, there are still not many randomized, control trials studies conducted to evaluate the
therapeutic benefits of the therapies.
An attempt to facilitate the research studies in the area of holistic nursing and integrated care, the
Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University has established the Center for Holistic Health and
Eastern Wisdom. It serves the Facultys vision in promoting the integration of holistic nursing and
complementary therapy/ Eastern Wisdom in nursing as well as to serve the university vision as a
Research University. The primary focus of the center includes research, education, complementary
therapy training, and outreach. The center plays important role in strengthening the research related to
holistic nursing and Eastern Wisdom and research team. Many body and mind activities are provided
at the center to promote holistic health for both insiders (staff, and students) and outsiders (people
living near the university). It is also a placement for training on complementary therapy skills. The
center promotes a culture of mutual community service through working with community experts/
masters in complementary therapy (healers, monks, etc.). The sustainability of the services is through
active network of community experts, masters in complementary therapy and key members of the
center.
23

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

There is growing awareness of the potential value of knowledge in holistic nursing and
complementary therapy in promoting health of people. To make sure that new knowledge is of the
maximum benefit, we need to look at carefully how the research is funded, communicated and
institutionalized. Translation the new knowledge generated by research to policy and practice is also
an issue of concern. Knowledge mostly disseminated through publications may fail to have significant
and sustained impact on policy and practice. A direct engagement with policy-makers, and a
preparedness to translate research findings into a form that could be utilized by policy-makers and
practitioners are found to be most influencing factors.
Integration of holistic nursing and complementary therapy in nursing practice
Holistic and integrated care have been valued by nurses, however the practice in clinical settings is so
diverse especially the integration of complementary therapy into care. Complementary therapy has
been used more extensively in community setting, especially in healthy people to promote health and
in chronically ill patients to manage their health problems and maintain balance in life. There was a
project supported by the Health Promotion Foundation to train nurses in the community to use
qualitative research to promote health and solve health problems in the community. Under the project,
nurses were trained to seek participation of the community in identifying problems and needs of the
community. They were taught to collect data qualitatively and use them to solve the problems. They
were also encouraged to integrate mind body interventions such as meditation, imagery, therapeutic
touch and humor to reduce stress, and to promote self control and positive well-being of the people in
the community (Somjit, 2012). In hospital setting where the Thai Traditional Medicine and
complementary therapies have been integrated into the government hospitals as a separate unit of
service nurses who work in those units practice more integrated care while others do less. Nurses
need to reassess their roles and open themselves to incorporate the beliefs, cultures and demands of the
service users into the care.
Evidence-based practice of holistic nursing and complementary therapy
It is recognized that the intended use of caring and holistic modalities benefit patients, self, and
colleagues as they participate in a caring-healing encounter. Jean Watson (2001) stated that when
nurses include caring and love into their work, they discover that nursing is not just a job but a lifegiving and life receiving career for a lifetime of growth and learning. Research studies exploring
caring among nurses have indicated that nurse caring is a key motivational factor impacting
compassion satisfaction, job satisfaction, recruitment and retention of the nurses. A caring model
developed for the critically ill patients was found to help increase the patients and family satisfaction
as well as nurse job satisfaction (Setiawan, 2010).
A substantial research on the use of complementary therapy for health benefits has been carried out
and many of them showed potential efficacy in reducing many health problems. There are many
research studies reporting the benefits of the body and mind therapies such as yoga, meditation, music
and art therapies that can effectively help relieve both mental and physical health problems. However,
there are still few randomized, control trials supporting therapeutic benefits. There have been many
studies related to yoga conducted, yet there were not many efficacy studies of yoga with strong
research methodology reported. Most of them evaluated the health outcomes as a result of their yoga
intervention often with a small sample size that could not be generalized to larger populations. Trails
may not easy with holistic modalities. It is not only a requirement of substantial commitment from the
participants but the strong research control also could be conflicting with the nature of holistic
approach being used. Holistic approach usually employs multi-modalities rather than single
therapeutic method to serve users healthcare needs.
However, there are some good controlled studies supporting usefulness of yoga and meditation
techniques in diseases like asthma, musculo-skeletal and psychological conditions such as stress,
anxiety and depression (Javnbakht, 2009). In a few experimental studies on cancer patients, the
participants suggested that a yoga program is feasible for patients with cancer and they significantly
improve fatigue (Butthong, Petpichetchian, &Hatthakit, 2009) and sleep-related outcomes. It is
evident that acupuncture, massage and energy therapies play role in managing many physical health
24

problems such as pain, and muscle strain. Additionally, there are some of other complementary
therapies that offer a safer, better and cost effective alternative; guided imagery reduces pain, and
anxiety (Sangchart, 2003), music reduces pre and post-operative anxiety, post-operative pain
sensation, and pain distress (Hook, Songwathana, and Petpichetchian, 2008), and Taichi promotes
balance control, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness in older patients with chronic conditions (Wang,
Collect, and Lau, 2004).
The challenges and strategies in applying holistic and integrated care
1) Lack of well-established policies or regulatory issues at both the professional and practice level
to support holistic and integrated care
Clear policy stated the scope of nursing practice related to holistic and integrated care is
required at both the professional and practice level.
2) Lack of clear nursing guidelines for practice regarding holistic and integrated care.
Care provision should be based on research evidence while keeping balance in the
integration of individual experience into care.
Practice guideline is needed to develop to guide the practice.
3) Lack of support and motivation for nurses
Holistic and integrated care should be valued and recognized as a primary nursing action.
Proper incentive and reward should be given, and appreciation should be expressed to
support and encourage the practice.
Nurses themselves have to appreciate that clinical practice is changing and will continue to
do so, and need to recognize that advanced clinical skills and compassionate care are not
mutually exclusive; high tech does not have to mean low care (Davison, & Williams,
2009).
4) Limited availability and suboptimal performance of human resources
Training related to holistic and integrated care should be provided especially to those
senior nurses who had little background knowledge related to holistic nursing and
complementary therapy in their formal training or education.
5) Lack of adequate and strong research evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of
complementary therapies.
There is usually a rapid expansion of the use of complementary therapies among the users
through direct communication without much concern about harms or risks that may occur.
Strong research design is needed to test the safety and effectiveness of complementary
therapies and make sure that this information is accessible by the users.
Since there are a wide range of complementary therapy, screening for levels of
complementary therapy is necessary. Safety is a primary concern regarding the use of
complementary therapies. Thus, safety evaluations should be conducted to ensure that the
right quality of materials or modality with the health condition needed to be treated.
More systematic research in these areas is needed to multiply these effects on a larger
scale.
6) Nursing curricula are still embedded the medical model, and only few nurse administrators in
health care settings recognize the important of holistic nursing
It is a need to work on the curricula and it is needed to document what nurse really does.

Detoxification in Yoga: Traditional Perspective and Contemporary Practices for The
Application of Yoga Therapy
Hiroshi Aikata1
1. Introduction
1.1 Knowledge-based approach to Yoga
The term Yoga may be the most well-known Sanskrit word in the world today, and the practical
aspects of Yoga as an Indian fitness system have become a global phenomenon in the past a few
decades among wellness conscious people. Yoga has been evolving as a holistic subject related to
all aspects of human life, physical, mental, social, and spiritual, and also drawing the interests of
professionals in the field of healthcare and education.
The term of Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root 'yuj' which means to unite or integrate.
Originally Yoga is an ancient system of self-discipline for integration of personality, which is
rooted in a philosophical view of human body, mind and soul in Indian tradition. It was part of
self-mortification practices among Indian ascetics who aspired to achieve the transcendental
experience (samadhi), and strictly preserved within secluded religious communities. However, the
results of scientific research carried on several Yogic methods since 1920s have proved its utility
as a science of health and healing which could be applied for anyone in some modified forms.
Today Yoga is mostly practiced in various modes for the promotion of positive health, the
management of stress and the healing of chronic disorders in psychosomatic nature.
Since Yoga has a long history and distinct cultural background which is very diverse in India, it is
necessary to discern the difference between essential part of Yoga and its ancillary elements. It is
important to take a careful knowledge-based approach based on the theoretical background of
Yoga and scientific interpretation of Yogic techniques, to keep the core of Yoga separated from
any religious doctrine or specific belief system, and to adopted it as methods for the health
promotion and personality development open to all people belonging to any religious faith or
philosophical orientation including atheists. By applying Yoga backed by the knowledge-based
approach in our daily life, we can expect to identify the disturbing elements which cause
unbalance and ill-health in our body-mind complex and to neutralize their negative effects by
adopting appropriate Yogic techniques. We can learn how to lead a balanced and positive way of
life.
1.2 History of Yoga
Yoga has a long history, probably dated back to the origin of Indian civilization. In ancient India,
the wide range of philosophical thoughts and religious traditions had flourished, and along with
them Yoga had developed and functioned as a path of spiritual enquiry, awakened by the desire
for having a deeper understanding of the entire phenomenon of the nature and the meaning of
human life in it.
The oldest treatise on Yoga available to us is Yoga Sutra compiled by Patanjali (probably around
3rd B.C.), which gives the theoretical framework of Yoga. It defines Yoga as cittavrttinirodha, the
cessation of functional modification of mind (= samadhi), which opens the door to the
transcendental experience beyond the phenomenal world. It teaches how to bring ordinal functions
of mind, i.e., cognition (manas), identification (ahamkhara), and determination (buddhi) under
control by the systematic self-discipline over a long time. Through this process, eventually one
can acquire the total control of mental function and also activate the latent faculty of mind
(siddhi). Yoga Sutra influenced almost all of Indian philosophical schools as a theory of mind.

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

In medieval time, technical aspects of Yoga had more evolved as Hatha-Yoga school mainly under
the influence of Tantra movement which dealt with large number of subjects associated with
practical aspects of human life. Ha means sun, tha means moon, which signifies two opposite
forces working in the nature, and Hatha-Yoga means the union of two opposite life forces in the
human body. This school laid a great emphasis on preparing the body as a great vehicle for the
higher spiritual experiences and became very popular among spiritual seekers in those days. This
medieval Hatha-Yoga provides the resource of various technical aspects of Yoga and by now its
modified methods have become very popular throughout the world.
1.3 Modern development of Yoga since 1920's
The new development of Yoga has initiated since 1920s in India and several personalities
contributed to the advancement of Yoga in modern times. Among them, Swami Kuvalayananda
(1883-1966) was a pioneer of scientific research in Yoga and laid the foundation for the further
development of Yoga Research, Yoga Education and Yoga Therapy. He tried to investigate the
physiological effects of Hatha-Yoga techniques on the human body in the laboratory, in the scope
that the age-old system of Yogic discipline would help in promoting the well-being of even
ordinal people, if understood through the modern scientific experimental approach and
disseminated its knowledge through the official channels to the public. He also embarked on
philosophico-literary research in traditional Yoga texts to ensure the authenticity of Yogic
techniques. He initiated knowledge-based approach to Yoga and tried to make Yoga a relevant
science which could play a positive role in the society, particularly in the field of Healthcare and
Education.
He established the Kaivalyadhama Yoga institute in 1924 at Lonavla in Maharashtra State, India,
which was the first research institute in Yoga, and started publishing the journal Yoga-Mimamsato
present the findings of research work undertaken at the institute. In 1950, for the promotion of
Yoga Education, he opened the first college specializing in Yoga, G.S.College of Yoga & Cultural
Synthesis, in order to train qualified Yoga teachers who could teach Yoga at school and college
level. In 1961, he found the Yogic Hospital, a first ever hospital of this kind, devoted exclusively
to Yoga Therapy for the treatment of chronic ailments. In 1964-65 the first research project on the
clinical application of Yoga in the management of Bronchial Asthma was undertaken at that
hospital with the financial help of the government. At present, the institute is recognized by Pune
University as an Institute for Research & Development in Yoga and also carry on Ph.D. program
in Physical Education (Yoga).
1.4 Yoga in the policy level
At the policy level in Indian Government, Yoga combined with Naturopathy is promoted as one of
National System of Medicines at the Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & naturopathy,
Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, and two organizations
under the AYUSH are responsible for research, development and promotion of Yoga in
healthcare, namely CCRYN (Central Council of Research in Yoga and Naturopathy) and
MDNIY(Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga).
Also, at present Yoga is a compulsory subject in school education in many states in India, and
many universities are creating the Department of Yoga and the Yoga center inside the campus all
over the country. The Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD (Human
Resource Development), is responsible for promotion of Yoga in education.
2. Yogic Techniques
Yogic techniques for common people which contribute to the well-being and personality
development can be classified into six categories. The nature of all these Yogic techniques is
psycho-physical, and different Yogic techniques are complementary, bringing to similar effects
using different approaches and channels in the body.
27

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

1) Asana (Posture)
2) Pranayama (Breathing)
3) Mudra and Bandha (Gesture and Lock)
4) Kriya (Cleasing)
5) Dhyana (Meditation)
6) Yama and Niyama (Life-style)

2.1 Asana (Posture)


Asana is the technique which deals with special patterns of postures that stabilizes the body and
mind through static stretching. They form the basis of other Yogic practices by preparing an
adequate background for the further development. The aim of asana is to establish proper rhythm
in the neuromuscular tonic impulses and improve the general muscle tone. The two fundamental
principles governing the performance of asana are stability and comfort. It is performed
effortlessly and maintained for a comfortable time. The nature of asana is not only physical, but
psycho-physical and the effect on the mind is also important. There should be no violent
movements and no undue fatigue after the performance of asana. It is further classified in three
groups, i.e., asana for meditation, for conditioning, and for relaxation.
2.1.1 Asana for meditation
This group of asanas is a sitting posture which maintains the body in a steady and
comfortable condition. They are formed by various arrangements of the legs and hands to
keep the head, neck and trunk erect.
2.1.2 Asana for conditioning
They involve static stretching which bring about proper tone of the muscles and contribute
to the flexibility of the spine and render back and spinal muscles stronger. They also
stimulate proper working of the vital organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. There
are many varieties which are performed in sitting, lying and standing positions. Usually the
practice of this group of asanas is perceived as the practice of Yoga for the majority of
people.
2.1.3 Asana for relaxation
These asanas are performed in the lying position and are meant for giving rest to the body
and mind. They are few in number but important to attain the total relaxation.
2.2

Pranayama (Breathing)
Pranayama is the breathing technique to bring control over the respiratory impulses which form
one of the channels of the flow of autonomic nerve impulses. The main purpose is to gain
control over the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and through it influence the mental
function. It is useful in preparation for higher practices like meditation. There are many varieties
which use different breathing techniques through one or two nostrils or sometimes inspiration
through the mouth. The essential technique of pranayama is to hold the breath for a prolonged
and comfortable time, but in the initial stage, the practice of controlled inspiration and expiration
with a time ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 is emphasized.

2.3

Mudra and Banda (Gesture and Lock)


These are the peculiar techniques in Hatha-Yoga, to form locks and holds of the semi-voluntary
and involuntary muscles in the body. They decongest the vital organs, improve circulation and
nutrition by pressure manipulations and contribute to general health and emotional stability.
Mudras that are used in pranayama are usually called bandhas because they bind and channelize
a particular nervous activity in a particular place or direction. Jalandhara (chin lock), Uddiyana
(abdominal lock) and Mula (pelvic lock) are important bandhas, and Viparitakarani (inverted
position) is an important Mudra for the common purpose.

28

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

2.4

Kriya (Cleansing)
Kriya is the technique to stimulate purification processes usually classified into six divisions,
i.e., dhauti, basti, neti, trataka, nauli and kapalabhati, and each one of which consists of many
subsections. The aim of kriya is to increase the range of adaptability of the tissues forming
various organs and systems and to raise the threshold of their reactivity. They bring control on
different reflexes and establish the better psycho-physiological balance.The modes of
purification in kriyas are air, water, frictional manipulating movements, and the regions of
cleansing are nasopharyngeal, cranial, gastroesophageal, intestinal and rectal.

2.5

Dhyana (Meditation)
Dhyana is the technique directly involving the control of mental functions. It starts from the
initial withdrawal of the senses from external objects to the complete oblivion of the
environment. It is a process of internal absorption in which the individual tries to turn his
attention to dwell upon a single object, sound, concept, or experience. It works as a great
tranquilizer. The principle of dhyana is to develop inner awareness of our mental processes
including the thoughts, emotions, memory etc., to realize how the restless mind causes the
feeling of emotional stress, constant fear and insecurity. The regular practice of dhyana
gradually restores the psycho-physiological functions back to its healthy, harmonious and
balanced state.

2.6

Yama and Niyama (Life-style):


Yama is self-imposed restrictions to govern our behavior and niyama is positive life-style
training which would help in building up our personality in tune with universal value such as
non-violence, non-stealing, truthfulness, contentment, simplicity, cleanliness, patience, etc. The
positive changes in our attitude, behavior and life-style would help in inducing the feeling of
sharing, love and respect in relationship with other people and with the whole world around.
These build up the basis of all the Yogic practices to lead an integrated way of living.

3. Detoxification and Yoga


3.1 Shodhanakriya (Internal cleansing)
Sodhana is a concept in Yoga which is relevant to detoxification in modern context. It is an
important part of Hatha-Yoga. Literally sodhana means an internal cleansing or a purification,
but in a wider sense of the term it also includes the meaning of conditioning or strengthening. To
ensure the steady progress in a spiritual pursuit, it was the first priority for Yogi (Yoga
practitioner) to maintain the body healthy and be free from diseases, and therefore various
methods to eliminate toxic substances which hinder the normal functions of body were well
developed.
In a broader sense, all Yogic methods contribute to the cleansing the body-mind complex but in
a restricted sense, the Yogic techniques for detoxification are called Kriya (cleansing) or Shatkarma (six cleansing processes). These detoxification methods are the special feature of HathaYoga and very elaborately developed in its curriculum. They not only remove the toxic matter
inside the body but also bring about an increased range of adaptability of the tissues forming
various organs and systems, as well as raising the threshold of their reactivity, establishing better
voluntary control on different reflexes.
The most important text of Hatha-Yoga, Hathapradipika(14th AD), explains the necessity of the
internal cleansing practices to restore the balance of humors inside the body, and described these
six classes of techniques as Shat-karma, i.e., dhauti, basti, neti, trataka, nauli, kapalabhati.

29

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

II-21. Those having an excess of fat (meda) or phlegm (shleshma) must practise the six internal
cleansing processes first (before attempting pranayama). Those in whom the three humours
(doshas) are in a state of equilibrium need not practice them.

II-22.Dhauti, Basti, Neti, Trataka, Nauli and Kapalabhati are called Shat-karmas.

3.2 Concept of Nadi and Nadisuddhi


More specifically, the concept of detoxification appears in Hatha-Yoga texts as Nadisuddhi,
purification of the channels (nadis) inside the body through which the vital energy (prana) flows,
according to the traditional Indian anatomy and physiology. Shat-karma is part of Nadisuddhi in
a gross and preparatory level, and in a subtler and advanced level, it is done through breathing
techniques (pranayama + mudra). In the traditional view, the nadis in the body are often filled
with impurities or the toxic substances (malas) because of irregular schedules of meals, sleep,
stress, pollution, infections and other disrupting factors both internal as well as external, and due
to the accumulation of malas the flow of prana may be obstructed, causing a disturbance in
functioning the organs and an imbalance of body-mind coordination. The purification processes
of nadis are mandatory not only to maintain sound health of Yogi but also for the further
progress towards the goal of Yoga.

II-4. If the Nadis are full of impurities, Maruta(= prana) does not travel along the middle path.
How can (then) one attain the state of Unmani(= samadhi), how can one succeed in one's aim ?

30

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

II-5. It is only when the whole group of Nadis which are (ordinary) full of impurities, gets
purified that the Yogi becomes capable of (properly) regulating Prana.

3.3 Effects of NadiSuddhi


The effects of Nadisuddhi are mentioned in Hathapradipika as these 6 points.
1) Kayasyakrsata.............slimness of the body
2) Kantistatha....................beauty, loveliness, desirous outlook
3) Vayuhdharanam...........holding breath easily, attaining stability
4) Analasyapradipanam...stimulating digestive power
5) Nadaabhivyaktir............manifestation of nada (internal sound)
6) Arogyam........................free from disease

II-19. When the nadis get purified, appearance of external signs like slimness of the body and
lustre, are certain.

II-20. By purifying the nadis, one is able to retain breath with ease, the (gastric) heat is
increased, and experience of (internally aroused) sound and good health are secured.
4. Techniques of Kriya or Shat-karma
4.1 Dhauti (cleansing the upper digestive track)
Dhauti works for cleansing the upper digestive track. There are three types of dhautis
prominently practised, namely, Vamanadhauti, Dandadhauti and Vastradhauti.
4.1.1 Vamanadhauti (vomiting)
[Method] Drink tepid salty water to fill the stomach completely and insert the three
middle fingers into the throat and tickle it to vomit out the water. Repeat vomiting till all
water is thrown out.
31

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

[Effect] This technique removes the contents inside the stomach including excess
secretions and undigested food.
4.1.2 Dandadhauti (cleansing the stomach using water & tube)
[Method] Take a 2 feet long rubber catheter of 1/8 inches diameter. Drink a couple of
glasses of water. Swallow one end of the tube. When it passes through the gullet push it
further. After about half the length of the tube enters in the stomach, lean forward and
inhales a little. The water from the tube will start flowing out. When the flow stops push
the tube back and forth so that enough water is thrown out.
[Effect] It is useful in overcoming the tendency of biliousness and acidity. It also relieves
respiratory discomfort.
4.1.3 Vastradhauti (cleansing the stomach using the cloth)
[Method] A strip of fine cotton cloth measuring 3 inches in width and 20 feet in length,
The moist cloth is slowly swallowed and the intermittent vomiting reflexes are
controlled. With persistent efforts one is able to swallow the whole cloth easily. When
the whole cloth is swallowed, one gently pulls out the cloth.
[Effect] It effectively remove excess mucus lingering on the esophageal walls and in the
stomach, also reflexively stimulates the respiratory function. It has been found very
effective all the respiratory problems especially asthma.

4.2 Basti (cleansing the lower digestive track)


Basti works for cleansing the lower digestive track.There are two types of basti, i.e., Jalabasti
and Vatabasti.
4.2.1 Jala basti (cleansing the colon using water)
[Method] It is a type of enema but require the active effort. One inserts into the anal canal
a wooden tube of about 3/8 inches diameter and 6 inches in length, which is well
lubricated. One third portion of the tube is inserted in the anus and 2/3 is kept out. The
outer end is dipped into the water when one sits in a squatting position. Then one practices
Madhya nauli (isolation of recti) which helps in sucking the water into the rectum. When
sufficient water is sucked withdraws the tube and evacuates the contents inside.
[Effect] It removes the fecal matter lingering on the walls of the rectum. By reflex
stimulation the large intestines are relieved of congestion and it contributes to the feeling
of well-being.
4.2.2 Vata Basti (cleansing the colon using air )
[Method] It is done by sucking the air instead of water, most suitably done in a back-lying
position. One has to raise the buttocks by folding the thighs on the chest and support them
with hands. Then with repeated attempts of Madhya nauli (isolation of recti). One sucks
the air into the rectum and throws it out by releasing the Nauli (isolation of recti).
[Effect] It removes the fowl gases lingering in the rectum and relieves one of the toxic
effects.

4.3 Neti (cleansing the nasal cavity)


Neti works for cleansing inside the nasal cavity. There are two forms of neti, i.e., Jalaneti and
Sutra neti. Both types are useful in the care and prevention of complaints related to the ear, nose
and throat, particularly helpful in chronic respiratory conditions.
4.3.1 Jalaneti (cleansing the nasal cavity with water)
[Method] Take tepid salty water in a feeding cup or a small pot having a nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in one of the nostrils. Bend the head a little sidewards and pour the water
slowly into the nostril. If the water is not swallowed it comes out through the other
nostril. Then repeat the same procedure with other nostril. Thus the nasal cavity is
cleansed with the water.
32

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

[Effect] It removes excess mucus and impurities in the nose, reduces inflammatory
conditions and builds up resistance to the sensitivity of inclemency of weather and
pollution in the atmosphere.
4.3.2 Sutra neti (cleansing the nasal cavity with the string)
[Method] It is another form of making the nasal mucosa resistant by giving a friction
effect through a string or rubber catheter. After sterilizing the catheter in the antiseptic
solution or in boiling water, insert the smaller end into one nostril and when it reaches the
throat pull it out of mouth with the fingers. Then holding two ends in two hands give a
few gentle frictions and pull it out from the mouth. Repeat it on the other side.
[Effect] It is very effective in removing any antigen particles lying along the nasal
mucosa. Thus the nasal air passage becomes clear.

4.4 Trataka (cleansing the eyes)


[Method] It is still-gazing at a point selected in the form of a black dot on the paper, or an
unwavering flame or any other object of choice. One has to continue still-gazing until tears roll
down.
[Effect] It improves the eyesight and tones up the visual mechanism, also helps in concentration.

4.5 Nauli (cleansing the entire abdominal area)


[Method] It is described as isolation and rolling manipulation of the abdominal recti. One stands
with feet apart. Then he breathes out completely and leans forward. He holds his breath out and
without allowing the air to let in expands his thorax. This results in forming a depression in the
abdomen (which is known as Uddiyanabandha). After stabilising in this stage for a few seconds
to relax the abdominal wall, he presses on the knees with the hands without contracting the
abdominal muscles, resulting in isolation of the two abdominal recti. This is known as Madhya
nauli (central nauli). After this practice when he presses his hand on one side and releases the
pressure on the other he gets isolation either on the right or left side. This is called Daksina (left)
or Vama (right) nauli respectively. When he practices different stages in the following sequence
he is able to rotate Nauli which is termed as Naulicalana (rotating nauli). Depending on ones
breath holding capacity one may practise number of turns of Naulicalana.
[Effect] It removes constipation and improves digestion, promotes the efficiency of the
abdominal organs and bestows a feeling of well - being.

4.6 Kapalabhati (cleansing the respiratory track)


[Method] It involves forceful and fast diaphragmatic breathing. In a comfortable sitting position
one exhale forcefully by contracting the abdomen and inhales. The exhalations and inhalations
accompanied by the abdominal movements are undergone in quick succession for a number of
times depending on ones capacity in the speed of 120 rounds per minute.
[Effect] It is a great cleanser of the respiratory passages including the sinuses. It improves
respiratory function and promotes blood circulation.

5. Yoga Therapy
5.1 Principle of Yoga Therapy
Based on many scientific studies since 1920s, it is established that Yoga can be effective as an
alternative and/or complimentary therapy for chronic functional disorders. Chronic diseases
occur when the body is not able to cope with the external disturbing factors or some internal
maladjustment, due to lack of cooperation between the different systems and organs in the body.
The fundamental principle of Yogic therapy is to make the body healthy by putting up an
effective resistance against the disease processes by correcting imbalances. Our body has innate
capacity in adapting to the changing environment (homeostasis), and it can be directed towards
putting up an effective defense against physical and mental diseases. The various traditional
Yogic practices provide the methods for training the organ and re-establishing proper
33

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

coordination and harmony between the functions of the body and the mind. Chronic psychophysiological disturbances that affect the conditions of the muscles and viscera could be set right
through such processes. Yogic therapy responds positively to these ailments.

5.2 Therapeutic value of Yogic detoxification process (shat-karma)


Yogic detoxification processes (shat-karma) are part of methods of modern Yogic therapy and
are actively applied for the treatment of chronic functional disorders. Autonomic and
proprioceptive neuromuscular reactions have an important bearing in bringing about these
results, and better voluntary control is established on different reflexes through the practices of
Shat-karma. For example, dhauti is used to gain control over vomiting reflex. This reflex is
controlled by two methods, by inhibition during Dandadhauti and Vastradhauti, and by
stimulation as in Vomandhauti. They are effective in regaining psycho-physiological balance,
and supportive of other Yogic practices like asana, pranayama and meditational techniques for
strengthening and tranquilizing the psycho-physiological complex structure.

5.3 Steps for Yogic therapy


An all-around and complete Yogic therapy consists of four steps. It is rather an educational
program and the active participation of patients is required. The best possible results are
expected in a residential facility during the treatment and learning period.
1) To cultivate the correct psychological attitude.
2) To recondition the neuromuscular and neurograndular systems
3) To enable them to withstand greater stresses and strains of life.
4) To encourage the various natural eliminating processes of the body to work efficiently,
5) To regulate the diet and day-to-day behavior.

5.4 .Example of the weekly program


This is an example of one-week residential Yogic Therapy program at the Healthcare center in
Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute, Lonavla, India. Common Yogic detoxification processes like
neti or dhauti are practiced in the morning, and trataka for a few times in the evening. Apart
from Yoga class (asasa, pranayama, mudra &bandha) twice a day, morning and afternoon, some
treatments of Naturopathy or Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine) are prescribed in the
daytime, also some lectures are given after the dinner.

34

Keynote Presentation and Plenary Session

The whole treatment process is supervised by the team of doctors and Yoga instructors with
daily consultation with them. Patients may stay at the center for at least a week or longer
according to the necessity and the health condition to be improved through Yogic therapy. They
and expected to continue some Yogic practices at home learnt during the stay at the center. Time
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday

6. Conclusion
Yoga is a popular phenomenon all over the world and keeps on drawing the interest of health
conscious people. With the careful knowledge-based approach, Yoga can be an effective method
for the promotion of health and the healing of chronic functional disorders. Yogic practices for
detoxification (shat-karma) are an important part of Yogic therapy. These detoxification practices
not only facilitate the elimination of the toxic matter from the body but also establish better
voluntary control on different reflexes, making the body healthy by putting up an effective
resistance against the disease processes. In the holistic healthcare, various Yogic methods may be
more explored and applied for the benefits of people who are searching for the alternative
approaches.

Presentation 2
THE CONCEPT OF HOLISTIC MEDICAL TREATMENT
Ahmad Yani1

Nowadays, health service is a major requirement in preparing a productive community effectively and
efficiently as the main role of a nation's progress. Indonesia with 230 million people require a
professional health service. The existing conventional health services have not been able to reach the
largest part of the population, thereof there must be a preparation of health services design that are
effective, safe, easy, and affordable. Besides, it is necessary to consider in avoiding the use of
conventional medicines having bad effects and the materials are depending on the market share owned
by the foreign pharmaceutical companies.
Therefore, it is needed to have an effective, save, easy and economic concept of health services i.e.
the concept of holistic health services by using natural medicine ingredients. Health is the most
expensive wealth. To be totally healthy, it is depending on us, rather than on doctors and medicine.
Therefore, we should be able to communicate with our bodies, so that we can treat our body tactfully.
When the body becomes sick, the disharmony of the body appears, such as pain, weak, disgrasp, loss
of appetite, fever or other common complaints that we feel. Those indications are not a disease.
However, it is how the body is communicating to us. All of the indications are the body signals in
communicating to us, the owner of the body. It is aimed to tell us that there must be troubles which
can danger our body if they are ignored.
Food as the Principal Medicine
The body tells us that the balance of nutritions has long been disturbed, or the acumulation of toxic
(poison) come to the peak. Frequently, those indications are the representative of the body signal in
demanding its rights and needs such as nutrition. In fact, the nutrition is a positive signal in which the
body is not able to do the routine tasks. Therefore, it is better for us to welcome the body complaint
rather than stuff it with various drugs.
Holistic Medicine is one of self-discipline consisting of a combination of various treatments (including
the system of western medicine / conventional treatment and east / eastern medicine) that can be
accounted for body treating medically and science as a whole body of work by restoring the working
balance of organs optimally which involve physical, psychological, mental, and emotional
emphasizing on food / diet as the main medicine. The concept of holistic health includes the overall
effort of preventive and promotive that has been abandoned by the health services in Indonesia
generally, besides, the curative and rehabilitative. Holistic Health Concepts emphasize on the efforts in
eliminating the cause of disease instead of the indications, and restore the normal function of the body
which has perfect body mechanism defense and self-repairing system (a system that allows the body to
repair itself). A healthy diet (diet) is the basis of holistic treatment.
If we take a look closely,the real functioning of all body functions is determined by a balanced
nutritional intake and which is obtained by setting a good diet. Unhealthy diet will cause disruption to
the system / body functions which lead to a sick body. Therefore, the disrupted system will cause
impaired immune system powerless to stem the disease from outside and as the result, the body will
get sick. However, health is not only about the physical, in this case, WHO determined that it is
included healthy physical, mental, social, and economic. This is that so called as good healthy
mentally and physically!

As we know, the concept of conventional medicine is getting far away from achieving this healthy
standard as a whole. The pharmaceutical factories are competing to produce chemical synthesis drugs
which are intentionally directed to relieve the symptoms of the disease rather than the cause. This is
due to the market demand (consumers) who want instant drugs. The health concept has been
conquered by the wrong market demand! Healthy is an asset that should be preserved and maintained.
Mostly, every person will try his best to keep healthy, because our body is entrusted by GOD to keep
it.
The Basic Principles of Holistic Treatment
Holistic treatment is a medical treatment based on the natural law consisting of some parts depending
on one another. The nature consits of water, air, plant, animal, etc. which are all related to one another.
The nuisance in one part will affect other parts, causing an imbalance. The same thing happens to the
human body consisting of parts of physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual which is a united
and can not be separated from one another. When one part is disturbed or not working properly, it will
affect the other. It also happens between the natural to the human body.
In Holistic medical treatment, individuals will be trained to communicate with the body. A
disharmony occurs in the body will signal out of the body in the form of symptoms and signs.
Therefore, in a holistic manner, the signs and symptoms should not be suppressed, but it is used for
the guidance to know the illness / imbalance occurs, and the symptoms will be going away on its own
if the main cause is solved. The advantages of applying holistic principles and holistic approach has a
higher position than just prevent the disease. A holistic approach will support the person's vitality, a
persons psychological to live with optimal quality.

BRINGING THE NURSING SCHOOL, FACULTY OF MEDICINE, DIPONEGORO
UNIVERSITY TO THE HOLISTIC CAMPUS
FitriaHandayani1
Holistic Nursing Team
Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University,
Semarang, Indonesia
This paper aims to describe and discuss the implementation of holistic nursing in Nursing School,
Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University, Indonesia in bringing the school to the holistic campus.
The paper discusses about: 1) policy making; 2) integration of holistic nursing into education,
research, and community service; 3) holistic nursing project.
The vision and mission in running the education in nursing school has been changed since October
2010. The school has its vision and missions to strive to the holistic nursing. The statement of the
vision is that School of Nursing Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University becomes a center of
holistic nursing development which is able to compete nationally and internationally in 2020. In the
efforts to achieve the vision, School of Nursing Diponegoro University defines its five missions,
which are (1) developing a center of holistic nursing education in global level, (2) developing a
research center of holistic nursing, (3) developing a center of holistic nursing activities and services,
(4) producing patents in nursing particularly holistic nursing, and (5) developing a complete nursing
care. The change of this policy has influenced the whole programs and activities in the school.
The Undips School of Nursing implements the holistic nursing in strategic planning which involve
creating holistic environment and integrating holistic nursing concept into education, research,
community services. To focus on holistic improvement, nursing school conducts the holistic project to
facilitate the whole activities in the school related to holistic nursing. In creating the holistic
environment, we have and preserve a value for all the members of the campus. The value is Mendidik
dengan Hati, Bekerja dengan Cinta (educating with heart and working with love). This value is
embodied in the whole staffs and students. In order to embody this value, all members of the school
bring the value into the real world in activity of daily livings. Every person trains themselves to be
aware and respect with oneself, others and the environment.
There are four elements in integrating the holistic nursing into education in our school, which are; 1)
integrating holistic nursing into the curriculum; 2) conducting scientific meetings and activities related
to holistic nursing; 3) conducting the teaching and learning activities in holistic environment; and 4)
facilitating students activities to build their positive characters. Nursing school integrates the holistic
nursing into the curriculum since the vision and missions in holistic nursing were established. The
holistic concept is integrated in every subject, and specific credits in holistic nursing studies are also
provided. The credits are six credits. The subject of holistic nursing was provided with CAM
(Complementary Alternative Modality). CAM therapy is expanding the strategies that nurses can
employ independently in providing holistic, body-mind-spirit-care (Dossey, Lynn, & Cathie, 2005).
Related to the implementation of teaching and learning in clinical settings, the students attempt to use
CAM as nursing intervention, which can be in the form of music intervention, SEFT, and
hypnonursing.
In relation with the scientific meetings and activities related to holistic nursing, the school attempts to
conduct holistic nursing conference in which the first was organized in October 2010. Beside that,
there are also many lecturers and students who join the CAM trainings, which include SEFT, hypnobirthing, hypno-nursing, and many others to enhance their capabilities in holistic nursing. The students

are also given opportunity to have study visit to the holistic hospital to learn to engage holistic services
in nursing care delivery. Students also have opportunity to have study visit to other universities abroad
which have the same vision, for example the Prince of Songkhla University, Thailand.
The teaching and learning as the center of activities in nursing school lead to the improvement of
holistic campus activities. It is done by considering the students as the subject of the process. This is in
line with the profile determined by the university for all its graduates which is COMPLETE which
stands for Communicator, Professional, Entrepreneur, Thinker, and Educator. This concept supports
the integration the holistic nursing to the teaching learning process. Since students are the center of the
teaching learning process, the method of the process in class focuses on students centered-learning. A
number of techniques are applied such as interactive skill station, seven jumps, mind mapping,
cooperative learning, small group discussion and many others. These techniques allow student to learn
how to know, to learn how to be, to learn how to do, and to learn how to live together with others.
Student centered learning makes students be more active and have more chances to build their positive
characters. Lecturers have more chances to observe students characters during the learning process.
Characters are also a part of the assessment of the learning. The examples of the characters which
students develop are empathy, caring, responsible, discipline, respect and trust, and many others.
In the school, the research is led to the holistic nursing theme. The lecturers and students gain many
topics in holistic nursing, for example:
Effectiveness of hypnotherapy towards pain for post surgical ovary cystic
Effectiveness of hypnotherapy toward pains in cervical cancer
Music intervention in various clinical settings
Effectiveness SEFT in alteration of mental health
Effectiveness of SEFT in elderly with depression
Javanese people beliefs about suggestions and prohibitions during pregnancy and post
partum
Loosing process in Javanese family with stroke patients
Family burden in client of stroke rehabilitation

The community services are also given a focus on the implementation of holistic nursing. The
lecturers and students conduct a number of social activities, which can be in the form of:
Sowan Method in promoting health status in community
Trauma healing for earth quake and volcanic eruption disasters
Rheumatic exercises
DM Type II exercises
Elderly exercises
Playing therapy,
and many others
To focus on holistic improvement, nursing school conducts holistic projects to facilitate the whole
activities in the school. The aims of the project are:
To develop holistic nursing healing in context of complementary nursing intervention
To spread the information and services in holistic nursing healing
To gain the body of knowledge in holistic nursing
To conduct some researches in holistic nursing
Some activities related with holistic nursing which are continuously organized are:
Yoga which is running every week
Meditation and spiritual program
Rest and sleep therapy
Cupping
LCD (loving in cultural diversity)

There are many challenges meet since holistic nursing was established. The examples of those
challenges are 1) diversity of students and staff culture and values in campus; 2) different perception
and knowledge in applying holistic nursing; 3) the lack of resources in embodying holistic nursing,
such as lack of human resources with CAM capabilities, lack of holistic nursing books in library; 4)
Lack of research utilization in teaching learning and clinical setting; 5) lack of networking with
institution in holistic nursing area. Considering all those challenges, the school should then have
particular policy, activities and programs to solve the challenges.

ABSTRACT
Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a degenerative disease that is often identified until complications
arise. It is also known that Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that cant be cured, so that it needs
continuous treatment to control hyperglycemia to avoid the complications. One of the precipitating
factors of hyperglycemia in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is stress. Stress could participate in
the release of epinephrine, which increase the conversion of glycogen to blood sugar. Many
complementary therapies can be used by nurses to overcome the balance of emotional distress. One of
the interventions is progressive muscle relaxation technique. Purpose: To identify the effect of
progressive muscle relaxation techniques on blood sugar in patients who have type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Method: A quasi experiment research design with pre- post intervention with control and experimental
groups was utilized in this study. Twelve participants who met the inclusion criteria were recruited for
each group. Data was analyzed using Paired sample t-tests with p <0.05. Result: The reduction of blood
sugar levels in intervention group (t= 5.177, p=0.000) was higher than blood sugar levels in control
group (t= 3.833, p=0.003). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation technique was effective to reduce
blood sugar level in patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

School of Nursing, Hasanuddin University

ABSTRACT
Background: Asthma continues to be one of major health problems in the world. It is the third noncommunicable disease in Makassar province-Indonesia. Treatments of asthma have become focus of
study for years. One of the treatments is blowing a balloon. It could help lung expansion in enhancing
resting lung ventilation of asthmatic patients. Purpose: This study aims to determine whether there is
an influence of practicing blowing a balloon on lung capacity of patients with bronchial asthma.
Method: This was a quasi experimental study with pre-post test design on one group of intervention.
The primary data were retrieved from patients medical records in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo
Hospital, from January-June 2011. Fifteen bronchial asthmatic patients who met the inclusion criteria
were selected and given a balloon blowing exercise for 30 minutes (Five times of blowing a balloon)
and done twice a day during two weeks. The balloon had 10 cm of diameter and 200% or more of its
flexibility. All respondents received same treatment and then their lung capacity was measured by
Spirometry (Spiroanalyzer ST-250). Results: By using Wilcoxon test, there was a significant
difference between the Force Expiratory Volume in One second (FEV1) of asthmatic patients before
and afterdoing the exercise. The value of FEV1 before exercises was lower than the value of FEV1
after exercises (p=0.001). This means that there was a positive influence of balloon blowing exercise
on the changes of lungs capacity. Conclusion: Balloon blowing exercise increased lung capacity of
asthmatic patients. So the patients could do the exercise in order to improve their lung capacity.
Moreover, further research should focus on the effects of exercise towards asthma attacks and add
more samples to be a control group.

Faculty of Nursing, Andalas University, West Sumatera Indonesia

ABSTRACT
Background: Clinical learning is an essential part of the nursing education program. It aims to
achieve a set of competencies, integrate the theory with practice and enhance critical thinking and
decision making abilities in the clinical setting. However, hospital clinical learning has been
recognized to be perceived as a stressful event by student nurses. Clinical stress of student nurses is
caused by tasks related to clinical competencies including written clinical assignments, performing
clinical procedures and clinical evaluation, initial clinical experiences as well as building relationships
and communication. Administering relaxation as non-pharmacology interventions of nurses could be
used independently to reduce stress level of student nurses in clinical learning. One of relaxation
methods is by aromatherapy. Purpose: This study was aimed to examine the effect of rose
aromatherapy inhalation on reducing stress level of student nurses in hospital clinical learning.
Method: A quasi experiment study with pre and posttest one group approach was used. A group of
twenty student nurses undertaking hospital clinical placement and fulfilling the inclusive criterion was
selected to participate in this study. The research setting was in hospital of M. Djamil Padang. Preintervention, stress level of each students was measured. Then, the intervention was implemented to
each student nurse by inhaling rose aromatherapy for three seconds. Post-intervention, fifteen minutes
later the level of stress was measured by Perceived Stress Scale that measured stres from taking care
of patients, stress from teachers and nursing staff, stres from assignments and workload, stress from
peers and daily life, stress from lack of professional knowledge and skills and stress from the
environment. Data collected was analyzed univariately and bivariately by distribution frequencies and
Wilcoxon Signed Ranged respectively. Results: The results showed that pre-intervention, the
respondents experienced moderate stress level (100%) and post-intervention, the respondents
experienced mild stress level (100%). There was a change in the stress level of students nurses pre and
post-intervention. It is indicated that rose aromatherapy inhalation could significantly reduce stress
level of student nurses in clinical learning (p=0,000). Conclusion: It is suggested that student nurses
could use rose aromatherapy inhalation during hospital clinical learning in order to relieve the stress
experiences and enhance concentration in hospital clinical learning. The rose aromatherapy could be
appropriate intervention for student nurses experiencing stress in Padang.

School of Nursing, University of Jember

ABSTRACT
Background: Toilet training is a developmental task that impacts families with small children. Toilet
training stimulation is a way to train a child to be able to control fecal and urinal disposal (Hidayat,
2005). The toilet training stimulation should be started well early. Parent stimulation is essential factor
in a success toilet training. Purpose: This research was to recognize the correlation between the toilet
training stimulation by mother with the toileting ability of preschoolers. Method: This is a descriptive
correlation research. The sample was 125 mothers with preschoolers age 3-6 years old at Balung Lor
village, with cluster sampling. Data analysis used Chi Square test. Result: The result showed that the
toilet training stimulation by mother is significantly associated with the toileting ability of
preschoolers (p= 0.001; = 0.05). At 73 mothers who give good toilet training stimulation, as many as
52 children can do toileting well. Mother who delivers early toilet training stimulation has opportunity
3,962 times more their children can do toileting independently in pre-school age. Conclusion: Toilet
training stimulation is a way to train a child to able to control fecal and urinal disposal. This
stimulation need a maturity of anal and urinal muscle. The toilet training stimulation should start well
early. Training often starts between 21 and 36 months of age, and that only 40 to 60 percent of
children complete toilet training by 36 months of age (Bakker, 2000, in Choby & George, 2008). The
children who get a regular and directional stimulation will grow faster than children who get less or no
stimulation. Warner (2003) believes parent stimulation is essential factor in a success toilet training.
Nurses should provide parents guidance about toilet-training methods so they could give early toilet
training stimulation, thus children have good toileting ability when they are in pre-school age.

ABSTRACT
Background: Circadian rhythm of acute myocardial infarction onset has been investigated in many
studies and may carry important pathophysiological implications. Conversely, the effect of the time of
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) onset on infarct size has not been systematically explored.
Purpose: To analyze the existance and the impact of circadian rhythm of myocardial infarction on
infarct size. Methods: This study was conducted at Emergency Department of Saiful Anwar General
Hospital Malang. Forty five patients with myocardial infarction (61.03+12.28 years, 55.6% men) were
randomly selected during August 2011 to January 2012. AMI was diagnosed based on the presence of
at least two of the following criteria: 1) clinical symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia, 2)
electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities (new ST-T wave changes, new left bundle branch block, or
the development of new pathologic Q waves), and 3) rise and/or fall of cardiac enzymes. Circadian
rhythm was divided into four 6-hour periods based on previous study (first period: midnight-6.00
hour; second period: 6.00-noon (dark-to-light transition); third period: noon-18.00 hour; fourth period:
18.00-midnight). Infarct size was estimated by Troponin I on admission. The relationship between
infarct size and circadian rhythm were analyzed using Pearson Correlation. Results: Mostly patients
with acute myocardial infarction were admitted to Emergency Department in the third period (noon18.00 hour) (42.2%). The blood samples of troponin I were measured on admission to Emergency
Department (2.89+6.55 ng/ml). Infarct size was larger in patients admitted in the second period/darkto-light transition (4.69+6.78 ng/ml). However, it was not achieved any statistical significance
(p=0,436). These results were similar with another study in Spain. Hence, further study with greater
sample is needed to determine the circadian variations of infarct size in patients with AMI. Discussion
Cardiovascular physiology is significantly modulated by the circadian rhythm. The results of the study
was consistent with prior studies (Suarez-barrientos et al., 2011) in the literature which larger infarct
size was found in the onset of AMI in the dark-to-light transition as evaluated by peak rise in enzyme
concentrations. Conclusion: A circadian rhythm on infarct size in patients with AMI was not found.
But this study suggested that larger infarct size was found in patients with AMI admitted at the third
period.

Hospital Malang.

ABSTRACT
Background: The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends a benchmark door-toelectrocardiogram (ECG) time of 10 minutes for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Door-toECG time improve rapid diagnose and rapid reperfusion. Consequently, the risk of morbidity and
mortality will be decreased significantly. Purposes: This study aimed to determine door-to-ECG
duration in patients who attended to emergency department (ED) and its contribution to the interval of
diagnosing AMI. Method: A descriptive observational study was conducted in Saiful Anwar General
Hospital Malang during August 2011-June 2012. The duration of ECG measurement and the interval
time to diagnose AMI in patient with chest pain suggestive AMI were documented by healthcare
professionals using a digital watch. The data were regarding time of admission in the ED, time of ECG
completion, and time of diagnosing AMI were documented in a sheet. Door-to-ECG duration and
door-to-diagnosing AMI was calculated by subtracting ECG time with time of admission and
diagnosing time with time of admission. Results: A total of hundred and six patients with the mean
age of 60.94 12.98 years old and a half (57.5%) of the sample were male. Door-to-ECG duration
was 14:17 06:16 and only 1.2% of ECG implementations were completed within 10 minutes. Doorto-diagnose AMI was 24:02 16:30 minutes. Hence, it revealed that nurses spent more than a half of
diagnosing AMI interval to accomplish ECG diagnostic procedure in the ED. Discussion: The long
duration of door-to-ECG in ED might be due to several factors including number of nurses in the ED,
atypical chest pain presentation, and number of patients at the same time. Therefore, it is interesting to
analyze the contribution of these factors on door-to-ECG duration. Further study is needed to address
this issue with greater number of samples. Conclusion: This study suggested that door-to-ECG
duration was 14:17 06:16 and contributed to more than a half of diagnosing AMI interval to
accomplish ECG diagnostic procedure in the ED.

ABSTRACT
Background: Curcuma is a natural substance that has various kinds of biological activities, such as
anti fertility. However, until recently, there have been no any studies that investigate curcuma effects,
especially those that are related to LH stimulation in endometrium. Purpose: This study aimed to
investigate the expression of COX-2 enzyme, the thickness of endometrium and the number of
epithelial cells of luminal uterus as an effect of the giving of curcuma after LH stimulation. Method:
The study was done with post-test control randomized group design toward 30 female
Rattusnorvegicus Strain Sprague Dawley, which were 28 days of age, divided into 6 groups, induced
the ovulation with PMSG, and then given treatments as follows: (G1) aquades, (G2) LH 10 IU +
aquades, (G3) CMC 1 ml, (G4) LH 10 IU + CMC 1ml , (G5) curcuma 100 mg/kg Body Weight +
CMC 1 ml and (G6) LH 10 IU + curcuma 100mg/kg Body Weight + CMC 1 ml. Curcuma was given
orally for 4 days and LH was given through intramuscular injection once at the first day of ovulation.
The rats were then slain to be taken their uterus and it was used to make HE microscopic preparation
to measure the thickness of endometrium and IHC to measure the expression of COX-2 and the
number of epithelial cells of luminal uterus. The statistical analysis used one-way Anova, followed by
DMRT (Duncans Multiple Range Test). To know the influential treatments, multiple comparison
analysis was used. The statistical analysis of COX-2 expression showed a significant increase in
Group 5 and Group 6 (p<0.05) while a significant decrease was shown in Group 4 and Group 6
(p<0.05). The analysis result of multiple comparison showed that LH, curcuma, curcuma + LH and in
glandular ephitelia, LH and curcuma were influential toward the expression of COX-2 in luminal
ephitelia. The thickness of endometrium showed a decrease but insignificant (p>0.05) in Group 6 and
Group 4. Result: The result of multiple comparison showed that curcuma was affecting the thickness
of endometrium. Based on the statistical analysis, the number of epithelial cells of luminal uterus also
showed a decrease although it was insignificant (p>0.05) which happened in Group 6 and Group
4.Conclusion: It could be concluded that curcuma 100 mg/kg Body Weight after the stimulation of
LH 10 IU reduced the expression of COX-2 both in luminal epithelia and in glandular epithelia
through one of lines of LH stimulation, but did not reduce the thickness of endometrium and the
number of epithelial cells of luminal uterus of Rattusnorvegicus Strain Sprague Dawley.

Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University

ABSTRACT
Background: Cancer is known as a one of serious disease that threat health in children. Cancer in
children should be managed appropriately. Chemotherapy is one of effective interventions in
managing children with cancer. Chemotherapy shown high effectiveness, but it has harmful side
effects and required further intervention. Mucositis is known as a one common of side effects of
chemotherapy. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the difference of mucositis score in children
with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta. Method: The study was
descriptive exploration. A consecutive sampling was used with 96 patients were observation.
Mucositis score was evaluated by using an Oral Assessment Guide (OAG). Data were analyzed using
dependent t-test. Result: The result of this study showed that there was a significant increases in the
average of mucositis score after chemotherapy (p=0,000). Child with cancer who exposed cytotoxcic
cancer therapy has a higher risk to develop mucositis. It is happened because mouth mucosal cell
lining are vulnerable to the cytotocix or proliferative-limiting effects of stomatotoxic chemotherapy.
Cancer chemotherapy agents are used in treatment to destroy, suppress, or prevent the spread of
malignant cells, which have a high proliferative rate, but chemotherapeutic agents are not specifically
targeted against cancer cells. They also adversely affect normal host cells that have a high mitotic
index, include those of the oral and gastrointestinal mucosa. Chemotherapy may also cause salivary
changes and sensory neuropathies. Besides that, many cytotoxic drugs will cause a degree of
myelosuppression secondary to therapy. That factor lead children who received chemotherapy will
experience mucositis. Based on the findings, it is recommended to do appropriate assessment and
intervention managing chemotherapy induces mucositis to reduce overall morbidity and improve the
quality of life in children with cancer.

Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta

ABSTRACT
Background: Malnutrition in children has been a significant issue for many decades in developing
country. Indonesia as one of the developing countries in South East Asia faced the same problem.
According to the National Economic and Social Survey 2005 Central Bureau of Statistics Indonesia,
the percentage of children fewer than five by nutritional status are 8.80% severely malnourished,
19.24% lack of nourishment, 68.48% moderately nourished and only 3.48% well nourished.
Furthermore UNICEF in 2006 also reported that the prevalence of underweight children in Indonesia
is 28 % and it is contribute 4.2 % of total underweight children in the world. In Indonesia, protocols
and programs were established particularly in dietary management to treat children who suffer from
malnutrition however these programs still can not thoroughly solve the problem. Method: A
Literature review was conducted to find the effectiveness of nutrition education to prevent
malnutrition in developing countries. Six data bases: ProQuest, Informit, CINAHL, Science Direct,
Cochrane, and Scopus were searched. The inclusion criteria are the articles were published from 2000
2012. The research was conducted in developing countries and had minimum level III-3 according to
NHMRC level. Finally 15 articles were found. All studies included in this literature review were
analyzed for strengths and weaknesses using the relevant appraisal tools. The qualitative studies were
critically appraised by a Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool. Quantitative studies were
analyzed with Health Care Practice Research and Development Unit (HCPRDU). After critical
appraisal, the articles were analyzed to define the level of evidence using National Health and Medical
Research Council (NHMRC) levels of evidence and grades for recommendation (2009). Result: The
results showed that an intensive nutrition education can significantly improves the nutritional status of
children with malnutrition. The evidence obtained from the articles indicates that these evidence
support the use of nutritional education intervention as a treatment to improve child growth and
development especially children with malnutrition. Conclusion: even though this evidence is only at
level II based on the hierarchy of evidence and not at the highest level of the hierarchy of evidence,
this finding still can be used to support the nursing practice and can be trusted to guide practice in
most situation according to NHMRC (2009). The implementation of the evidence should be integrated
with other government programs and need a strong effort of each element that involved in malnutrition
management in Indonesia so that the effectiveness of this program can be achieved.

Program Study of Nursing Science, STIKES A. Yani Yogyakarta
ABSTRACT

Background: Pain is an unpleasant emotional and sensory experience which is caused by the actual
damage of body tissue. The pain experience by mothers after Caesarean Section highly affects the
ability of mothers to look after and breastfeed the baby. It leads to a dysfunctional family process.
Many complementary therapies can be used to decrease patients pain scale. One of the therapies is
warm compress technique but the effectiveness of this technique has not been identified in Sleman.
Purpose: The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the warm compress technique on patients
pain scale following Caesarean Section surgery. Method: A quasi-experiment with pre-test and posttest using control group was utilized in this study. 15 participants who met inclusion criteria were
recruited for each group. The intervention group obtained the usual care from hospital and also was
given warm compress intervention. The temperature of the compress was 40C - 43C and it was put
10 centimeters above the incision area within 5-10 minutes for each intervention. The intervention was
given one time per day and lasted in 3 days at the same time for each day. The control group only
obtained the usual care from hospital without complementary therapy. The Numerical Rating Scale
was used to measure the pain scale before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using
Independent Sample T-test with p < 0.05. Results: The result of Independent Sample T-test between
intervention group and controlled group was t = -3.445, p = 0.002. The average of pain scale in the
intervention group was 5.80 compared to control group, as much as 6.87 (scale of 1-10). Conclusion:
Warm compress technique can significantly decrease patients pain scale following Caesarean Section
surgery. Therefore, the use of this technique for such population needs to be implemented as one of
complementary therapies in clinical setting.

A. Yani College of Health Science, Yogyakarta

ABSTRACT
Background: The nursing process consists of five steps namely assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation and evaluation. Throughout the process, the nurse has to document data and
information concerning the progress of the patients condition. Nowadays, most of nurses in Indonesia
still document the nursing care manually on papers which takes a lot of time and less accurate.
Although some hospital have started to implement electronic health record, but nursing documentation
system is not specifically included. In other country, nurses use nursing documentation system facility
to document the nursing care. The use of nursing documentation system is one among many factors to
support the effectivity and efficiency of nursing performance. Purpose: To identify the effectiveness
of computer-based nursing documentation system prototype as compared to paper based
documentation on the time duration in documentating the nursing care plan and the quality of nursing
documentation. Method: A quasi experiment with randomized post-test only control group design was
conducted in July 2012 on 20 nursing students from STIKES A. Yani Yogyakarta who met the
inclusion criteria. The students were grouped into control and experimental group. The control group
documented the nursing care plan manually on paper and the experimental group on the computerbased nursing documentation system prototype. The prototype was built based on Gordons functional
health pattern to assess patients data and NANDA, NOC, and NIC to diagnose and plan the nursing
intervention. The data were analyzed with independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test, respectively.
Results: There were a significant differences between experimental and control group in the time
duration in documentating nursing care plan (p = 0.000) and the quality of nursing documentation (p =
0.000). Conclusion: Computer-based nursing documentation system prototype was effective to reduce
the time duration in documentating the nursing care plan and to improve the quality of nursing
documentation.

ABSTRACT
Background: First five years old is a golden period in life where children growth and develop
optimally. However, there are 74% cases of children with lack of nutrition reported at Banyumas
Residence in 2009. A recent study showed an increasing infant growth and development score after
intervening families in Baturraden District. The proper method of education is required for families in
order to facilitate childrens growth and development in order to carry out role of educator. Purpose:
This research was to identify family need to stimulate children growth and development as well as a
proper method for family education. Understanding family need on education would be beneficial in
the nursing advancement-role as educator in the community field. Methods: A descriptive study was
conducted at the first step to identify education need for families in Baturraden District. Thirty-six
mothers were selected purposively in Rempoah village as respondents. After explaining procedures,
benefits, and confidential guarantee of the research, all respondents voluntarily agreed to participate.
Only 34 of 36 respondents participated completely in the research activity due to move to another
area. A descriptive analysis applied for interpreting collected data. Chi Square test was used to identify
different proportion between groups who choose the combined method. Results: Respondents age
was 29.08 years old in average which were mostly housewives (85.29%). Majority had finished
elementary school (32.35%) and high school (32.35%). Families incomes were mostly between three
quarters and a million rupiah (53%). All respondents needed information on growth and development
stimulation. Most of them needed mentorship (64.70%), routinely (52.94%) twice a month (94.11%),
using book, video, and health professionals (67.65%). Respondents who preferred to combine those
methods were (67.6%) while 32.4% of respondents preferred to split the methods. Score of knowledge
and skill test was on average 83.66% and 78.43 % respectively. Chi square test of combined-method
option showed a significant different (p=0.04). Conclusion and Recommendation: Families need
education to meet children growth and stimulation needs. A combined method of education by using
book, video, and health professional mentoring, which conducted routinely twice a week, would be
beneficial for family education.

School of Nursing, Diponegoro University

ABSTRACT
Background: Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) is equivalent to kindergarten. Early age is golden period in
children because it is the most rapid growth and development stage in human. An early detection to the children
in this period is very important to be conducted because if there were any developmental delays, children would
get early stimulations as needed. Teachers in PAUD are one of those who should know how to recognize
developmental problems in children to help parents in order to optimize children development. Denver II
screening is one of the tools to detect developmental delays in children since they are born at the sixth of age.
Teachers in PAUD at Semarang had been trained to use Denver II but many difficulties were found to implement
it to their students. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experience of preschool teachers in the
implementation of the Denver II screening in preschool. Method: This study was a qualitative study with
phenomenological approach. The population of this study was all teachers in preschool who followed the
training of Denver II screening. The samples were 8 informants taken by a purposive sampling. The data were
collected by focus group discussion and in depth-interview. They were analyzed using Miles and Huberman
which included data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion. Result: The result of this study were
six major themes which were language developmental of preschool children, effective methods to implement
Denver II screening for preschool children, the benefit of Denver II screening for developmental preschool
children, supports or facilities obtained by teachers in the implementation of Denver II screening, obstacles
found by the teachers and the expectations of preschool teachers in the implementation of Denver II screening in
the preschool. Conclusion: Nurses as health providers in community should be more concerned in the
developmental needs of children by early stimulation, detection and intervention. PAUD institutions should be
able to establish a system to screen the development of students by setting up facilities, enhancing the ability of
teacher and working close with parents.

ABSTRACT
Background: Asthma is a disease that is very close to society and has growing population. According
to The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) in 2004 found that the case of asthma in all over the world
can reach 300 millions of people and it is predicted to reach 400 millions of people in 2025. The data
from World Health Organization (WHO) also indicates the same things that the amount of the asthma
sufferers may increase about 180,000 per year. In Salatiga, based on the data from Lung Hospital Dr.
Ario Wirawan Salatiga, it shows that in 2009 and 2010, asthma always becomes 10 big classifications
and has the 3rd and 4th ranks for both hospitalized and outpatients. Purpose: The purpose of this
research is to describe the patients knowledge and attitude about the relapse of asthma management
and to identify the number of controlled and uncontrolled bronchial asthma outpatients Method: The
method of the research was descriptive-quantitative method. The sample of the research was 75
asthma outpatients who had their health checked. To these samples, the researcher applied ethical
actions i. e. informed consent, anonymity, and confidentiality. Result: The result of this research
showed that the patients knowledge was good (60%), moderate (28%), and low (12%). The attitudes
in controlling the asthma relapse were positive (61.3%) and negative (38.7%). The respondent for
controlled asthma was as many as 65% and uncontrolled asthma was as many as 34.7%. Conclusion:
From the results, it is suggested for health services (hospital) to defend its good service especially in
giving information that deals with the disease of the patient. The hospital can increase the service by
giving information to the patients, particularly to the family so that the patients can get support in
managing the asthma.

SOCIAL SUPPORT AND SELF-EFFICACY OF PATIENTS WITH


CORONARY HEART DISEASE (CHD)
Wantiyah
School of Nursing, University of Jember

ABSTRACT
Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a chronic disease and has become the leading cause of death in
most developed countries. Self-efficacy is required for patients with CHD to manage the disease independently
and to increase the quality of life. Self efficacy for patients with CHD is related to their ability to perform a
planned behaviour that can affect their life to help the patients control the risk factors. The patients need social
support to maintain the ability to manage the disease. Purpose: This study identified the relationship between
social support and self efficacy of patients with CHD. Method: This study was an analytical research with a
cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted in Jember using a simple random sampling to obtain 107
respondents. Inclusion criteria were patients with CHD who were able to communicate well, were not having a
heart attack and were willing to get involved in the study. The instruments used were questionnaires about
respondent characteristics, social support and self efficacy. The questionnaire of self efficacy consisted of
general self efficacy (GSE), cardiac self efficacy (CSE), and cardiac diet self efficacy (CDSE) that had been
modified by researcher. All of the questionnaires were valid and reliable with alpha cronbach between 0,77 and
0,88. Chi-Square within 95 % CI was used as a statistical analysis. Result: The study identified that more than a
half of respondents were male (59,8 %) and obtained social support (57 %). All of the respondents were married
(100 %), and more than a half of respondents showed the self efficacy at good category (53.3 %). The statistical
analysis showed that there was a significance relationship between social support and self- efficacy (p Value: 0.
006 : 0. 05). Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a relationship between social support and selfefficacy of the patients with CHD. When the patients obtain social support, their self efficacy will increase.
Nurses can improve patients self efficacy by facilitating the social support from the patients family, significant
others or by themselves. More studies are needed to improve the social support for patients with CHD and to
identify the other factors that contribute to the patients self efficacy.

ABSTRACT
Background: Sickness absence is the growing concerns among employers and organizations in health
care industry owing to greater awareness of the costs incurred as a result of absence. This withdrawal
behaviour in health services especially among the nurses has an inevitable impact on productivity and
on economic and financial costs on the organization. The recent survey on sickness absence by The
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in UK revealed that around 150 million working
days are lost each year to sickness absence and it costs the UK economy of over 100 billion per year
(CIPD, 2010). It is estimated that sickness absence among nurses in UK costs 90.5 million per year
and 714 million per year when all National Health Service (NHS) costs are considered (Williams,
Michie&Pattani, 1998). With the average cost of absence from sickness running at 692 per employee
in UK, many organizations are taking radical action to keep staff at work (CIPD, 2008). Despite the
growing concern over sickness absence, virtually no robust data exists in many organizations to
calculate its costs. Majority of the organizations appear fundamentally ill equipped to estimate or form
a comprehensive view of their absence costs. So far there is no study that estimates financial cost of
sickness absence among nurses in public hospitals in local context. Purpose: This study is to estimate
the financial costs incurred due to sickness absence among the hospital nurses. Besides, this study will
also examine the links between personal factors and sickness absence. Method: This study was
carried out using questionnaire survey to obtain baseline personal and socio-demographic information
and the access to organizational archival record for sick leave usage. A total of 1300 nurses from six
regional hospitals located in northern part of Peninsular Malaysia participated in the study. Time lost
and duration measures were employed to calculate sickness absence rate and the financial cost was
estimated based on direct costing due to sickness absence. Multiple regression analysis was conducted
to examine the association between personal and socio-demographic factors and sickness absence. The
research had obtained ethical approval from Medical Research and Ethical Committee, Ministry of
Health Malaysia and registered with National Medical Research Registry. Results: The results of the
study revealed that sickness absence rate of 3.2% and the average of 7.56 days of sick leave taken by
each employee per year, almost in equal comparable to many western countries. Most of the personal
and socio-demographic variables did not relate to sickness absence. However mean scheduled work
day was related significantly with sickness absence. The financial cost per employee per year was
estimated at RM 4,376.68 per employee per year. The overall cost to ministry level was RM 237.82
million and could reach RM 299.14 million for the whole nurse population in Malaysia. Conclusion:
Costing sickness absence in this study help managers to determine the scale of the problem, and can
put into context the costs of introducing methods of reducing absence. The financial cost to the
organization would pose extra burden to organizational financial performance as organization needs to
retrain new or replacement staff or paying extra overtime to staff who do the cover. All this can affect
organization productivity and effectiveness in providing service to the public. The costs of nurse
absence are too large to be ignored, but have to be viewed in the broader context of the impact of
absence on care quality and continuity. Managing nurse absence is one element of management
practice where there is a real prospect of securing quality improvement and cost reduction through
effective and considerate action.

ABSTRACT
Background: Accurate triage assessment in the Emergency Department (ED) can reduce mortality
and morbidity. The goal of triage level designation indicating urgency of symptoms is within 2 to 5
minutes. However, there is no data regarding this issue in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to
analyze the difference of door to triage-level designation interval between AMI and no-AMI patient in
the ED. Method: An observational study was conducted in the ED, dr. Saiful Anwar General
Hospital. Trained observers were recruited to measure door to triage interval in patient with chest pain.
Thirty eight patients with chest pain (57.0013.97 years old; 52.6% man) were randomly selected
among patients admitted to ED dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital during August 2011 to January
2012. AMI was defined based on European Society of Cardiology definition as the presence of at least
two of the following criteria: typical chest pain, electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities (new ST-T
wave changes, new left bundle branch block, or the development of new pathologic Q waves), and
elevated values of biochemical markers (biomarkers) of myocardial necrosis. Results: Among patients
with chest pain, triage response time in AMI patients was 18.7544.98 minutes and 22.8553.02
minutes in non-AMI patients. The door to triage interval was significantly shorter in AMI patients than
that of non-AMI patients (P =0.032). The number of questions that used to assess AMI patients may
contribute to this shorter interval (11.229.14). Triage nurses in emergency department were able to
give quicker response to patient in AMI. However, this response time still far from the recommended
goal. Hence, further study with a greater sample size is needed to address this issue. Conclusion: This
study suggested that triage nurses in the ED were able to give significantly shorter door to triage
designation interval to AMI patients.

ABSTRACT
Background: Aspects of the growth and development of adolescents are characteristics of physical,
psychological and social. The three aspects make the adolescent as a group at risk for health problems
including sexual behavior. The existence of the negative influence of peers and exposure to a vulgar
pornography may increase the risk of adolescent sexual behavior. Purpose: The purpose of this study
was to identify characteristics of adolescent relationships, the role of peers and exposure to
pornography on the sexual behavior of young people in Pasir Gunung Selatan, Depok. Method: This
research was a quantitative study using cross sectional. Data was collected by using cluster
proportional sampling with the number of samples were 280 adolescents. The data was analyzed using
the chi square test and logistic regression. Result: The results showed significant relationships
between: gender (x2=106;=0.00), education level (x2=5.8;=0.02), age of first dating (=0.00), the
frequency of dating (x2=7.98;=0.007), religious norms (x2=44.97;=0.00), family norm
(x2=6.85;=0.013), peer influences (x2=4.95;=0.035), and internet media (x2=24.2;=0.00) with
adolescent sexual behavior. Dominant factors that influence adolescent sexual behavior were gender
(OR=35.95 CI 95%), religious norms (OR=10.30), peer influence (OR=2.99), sources of information
(OR=0.13) and mass media exposure to pornography (OR=23.37). Gender was the most dominant
variable associated with adolescent sexual behavior. Conclusion: It was suggested that community
nursing services need to develop promotional programs and prevention through adolescents
empowerment in both peer counselors and peer educators on the prevention of sexual risk behavior in
adolescents. According to the theory of Preceede-Procede, male adolescents ideally should be given
the program earlier so that by health promotion they can control themselves against risky sexual
behavior. Parents need to supervise adolescent relationships with peers. Teachers should instill values
and morality in the prevention of adolescent sexual behavior. Society should have rules against teen
promiscuity, especially adolescent boys and girls. Government and leaders at any level need to tighten
supervision of Internet cafs in terms of access and time, especially in school hours.

STUDY
Untung Sujianto
School of Nursing, Diponegoro University

ABSTRACT
Background: The HIV/AIDS epidemic has killed over two million people since it was first
recognized in 1981. It is estimated that the number of people living with HIV worldwide at
about 34 million in 2010. Purposes: To determine the knowledge, attitudes, life skills and sexual
behavior related to HIV/AIDS among adolescents. Methods: This cross sectional study was
conducted in seven randomly selected secondary schools in Semarang district (central Java),
Indonesian. Data was collected using a standardized pre-tested self-administrated questionnaire and
analyzed using SPSS version 19. Results: The response rate was 100%. Majority of the respondents
(57.1%) were male. The overall mean age of the 340 respondents was 16.3 years (95% CI 16.2 -16.4;
1.1 SD). The mean age of males did not differ significantly as compared to the females (p>0.05).
Majority of respondents were Indonesians (69.7.4%) followed by Chinese (30.3%). The overall
knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission and life skills was low. Only 165 out of the 340 respondents
(48.5%) had sound knowledge. There was a significant association between knowledge and life skills
(p =0.01). The overall general life skills were poor and the overall mean life skills score was 60.8
(95% CI = 59.9 - 61.8). The overall attitudes were poor and the overall mean attitude score was 39.9
(95% CI = 39.3 - 40.4). Although the mean attitude score for the females was significantly higher
(40.4) as compared to the males (40), the difference was very small. There was a significant
relationship between attitude scores related to HIV/AIDS and gender, life skills to avoid
smoking, media pornography, drugs abuse, premarital sex, using contraception, pregnancy, abortion
and sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS (p<0.05). Almost 52 students (15.3%) have had already
experienced sexual intercourse and 11.5% oral sex and 11.8% anal sex. The overall mean age at first
sexual intercourse was 15 years old (95% CI 14 - 17). The difference in the mean age at first
sexual intercourse between males and females was not statistically significant (p >0.05). Only
8.5% of respondents stated that they used condom during last sexual intercourse. Only 6.8% of
respondents stated that they had consumed alcohol before having sex. Conclusions: Levels of
knowledge and life skills relating HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention among adolescents was
relatively low and serious misconceptions was exist with regards to prevention. The respondents seem
to have unfavorable attitude on the prevention of HIV/AIDS. There is a need for a life skills training
sex education and reproductive health in schools which include promotion of safe sexual behavior.

ABSTRACT
Background: Pressure ulcers (PUs) frequently occur in hospitalized patients. PUs has impact on
health-related quality of life and length of hospitalization. The necessary extra nursing time leads to
high health care costs. However, limited information is available about the PU-prevalence rate in
hospitals in Indonesia and it is unclear whether the quality of care regarding PUs can be enhanced.
Purpose: The first aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of using The International Prevalence
Measurement of Care Problems/Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgproblemen questionnaire (LPZ
questionnaires) to measure the prevalence of PUs and the quality of PU care in Indonesian hospitals
(Halfens, Meijers et al.2011). The LPZ questionnaire is based on the Donabedian model (Donabedian
1988), measuring the prevalence (outcome) on patient level, prevention and treatment (process) and
quality indicators on ward and institutional level (structure). The second aim of this study is to provide
data about the first year measurement of the PU prevalence in several Indonesian hospitals. Methods:
Indonesian experts evaluated the content validity of LPZ Indonesian version included the clarity of
wording and the appropriateness for Indonesian hospitalized patient, using a Delphi method. The data
collection procedure is based on the LPZ method. General hospitals in Indonesia will be invited.The

ABSTRACT
Background: Intravenous therapy is an invasive action, which become competencies that must be
mastered by nurses. In the invasive action, no matter how small the action, it can lead to a risk of
complications. One of the most common complications of intravenous therapy is phlebitis. If phlebitis
does not manage properly, it will lead to serious complications such as thrombophlebitis, sepsis,
thrombosis, or even cause death. Phlebitis can be caused by chemical, mechanical, and bacterial. One
of the mechanicals factors of phlebitis is the location of the intravenous catheter. Critical thinking is
required in selecting the location of intravenous catheter, because it affects the efficiency and the
treatment of the therapy. Purpose: This study aimed to get to know the comparative figures on the
incidence of phlebitis on the intravenous catheter in dominant hand with non-dominant hand. Method:
This research is a comparative research using prospective cohort study design. Consecutive sampling
was used to take the samples. Data collection was performed using the observation sheet for 1 month.
Then, the data is processed using Chi-Square test statistics. Result: The results of this study is taken
from the studied of 456 cannulations. The incidence of phlebitis in the dominant hand was 23.13% (34
of 147) and 24.92% (77 of 309) for the non-dominant hand. By the results of Chi-square count (0.083)
is less than Chi-square table with df1 (3.841) and the p-value 0.773 (>0.05). Conclusion: The
conclusion of this study is that there was no significant difference between the incidences of phlebitis

ABSTRACT
Background: Quality of life (QOL) of patients with HIV / AIDS become a main concern since this
chronic and progressive illness known that can impact in all aspects of patients life, includes physical,
psychological, social, and spiritual. Psychosocial problems especially depression and lack of family
support are frequently faced by patients which can effect in reducing their quality of life. Purpose:
The purposes of this study are to identify and to explain the relationship between depression and
family support towards quality of life of HIV / AIDS patients. Method: This study uses crosssectional study design, with 92 respondents (from outpatients on clinic for HIV/AIDS patient, AugustDecember, 2011) who recruited with a purposive sampling technique. The data was collected by using
questionnaires which are developed by researcher (such as demography questionnaire, modification of
CES-D questionnaire, family support questionnaire, and modification of WHOQOL-HIV BREF). In
bivariate analysis, this study uses two kinds of method to measured correlation between independent
variable with dependent variable. First, for measured correlation between depression, family support,
gender, marital status, education, work status, income, and stage of disease with QOL, are using chisquare test. Second, to measure correlation between age and length of illness with QOL is using t-test
independent. Finally, for multivariate analysis, this study uses multiple logistic regressions. Each
variable beside age and length of illness was dichotomized by criteria that suitable for them. Results:
The results show that the majority of respondents who have poor quality of life (63%), depression
(51.1%), lack of family support (55.4%), male (70.7%), higher education level(93.5%), work (79.3%),
unmarried (52.2%), have higher income (68.5%), in advanced stage of disease (80.4%), with an
average age of 30.43 years old, and the average length of illness is 37.09 months. The analysis of the
correlation show that there is a significant relationship between depression and family support toward
quality of life (depression: p=0.000, =0.05, OR=12.1, CI=4.34-33.8, family support: p=0.000,
=0.05, OR=21.5, CI=6.49-71.2). Further analysis with logistic regression test demonstrates that
respondents who perceive depression and non-supportive family are risk to have poor quality of life
after being controlled by gender, marital status, and stage of disease. In addition, this analysis show
that family support is the most influential factors which impact to the quality of life of patients with
HIV / AIDS with OR=12.06 (=0.05, CI=4.08-35.87). Conclusion: Family support and depression are
the main problems which can reduce QOL of HIV / AIDS patients. So, empower family in order to
continuously provide support to them is very important to improve their quality of life. Beside that
effort, preventive and resolve problem of depression are also need to be done because it can decrease
QOL of them too.

Faculty of Nursing, Padjajaran University

ABSTRACT
Background: Spiritual care is important and should be fulfilled by caregivers, especially for
terminally ill patients, however many of the caregivers are still focusing on their physical problems
rather than meeting spiritual needs. Moreover many nurses in Indonesia have perspective that
spirituality has the same meaning as religion. Purpose: To conduct a review about spiritual needs of
terminally ill patients in relation to clinical practice. Method: A literature search was conducted
through MEDLINE and CINAHL by using the key words meaning or essence of spirituality, spiritual
care and critical care or dying or terminal illness or serious illness. It found 55 articles; consist of 35
articles with qualitative research method and 15 articles with quantitative research method. Only eight
articles meet the criteria, namely: 1). Full text; 2). Using qualitative research methods; 3). Participants
were patients with terminal illness or serious illness 4). Hospital based. Result: The spiritual journey
of terminally ill patient is initiated with the experience of spiritual pain, and terminated with spiritual
comfort. In order to get their spiritual comfort, the patients with terminal illness need to fullfill their
spiritual necessity which are consist of the need for answers about the meaning and purpose of life
and needs to be loved and needs related to transcendence. To assist patients achieve their spiritual
needs and comfort, nurses and caregivers could facilitate through being present, opening eyes and
concreting. Discussion: Spiritual needs of terminal ill patients not only emerge from religion or
transendence. To achieve spirituality comfort in terminal illness patients is required conectedness
between transcendence and others. Human needs to be loved, cared for and give to others. Thus to
meet their spiritual needs, nurses have to facilitate not only their worship but also empathy, love, and
caring to the patients. Ultimately it is expected that patients might die in peace and dignity.

of quantitative and qualitative research with a cross-sectional design. This research was supported by
the qualitative data. The research was conducted in the Department of Health in Kebumen. One
hundred fifty two midwives who owned private midwifery clinic were recruited as respondent. The
dependent variable was the knowledge about Permenkes No 1464 and the independent variable is the
compliance of the midwives to the tools, practice and administration. External variables were the
behavior, level of education, age and formation. Data were collected using a questionnaire and indepth interviews and were analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate analysis, the chi square with p
<0.05 and 95% CI, and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression. Results: No significant
correlation between knowledge of compliance tools. This correlation was not statistically significant
(p = 0.21 and RP value of 0.9 (CI95% = 0.76 to 1.06)). There is a significant correlation between
knowledge of the administrative compliance. This correlation was statistically significant which can
be seen from the value of p = 0.016 and RP value of 0.69 (CI95% = 0.50 to 0.95). There is a
significant correlation between knowledge of the compliance practices. Knowledge of statistical
significance and practical adherence practices can be seen from the value of p = 0.007 and RP value of
2.66 (CI95% = 1.27 to 5.59). There is no significant correlation between external variables that
attitude, age, education and guidance to the independent variable knowledge. In multiple logistic
regression analysis, the results show a statistically significant correlation between knowledge and
practical with compliance practices after the controlled variables of education, training and the manner
in which the value of OR = 3.08 and 95% CI = 1.21 to 7.83 and the value of R2 = 0.149. Conclusion:
The compliance of midwives to the administration and tools is better for midwives who had good
knowledge. Factors influencing knowledge of compliance tools are age and development. Factors
influencing the administration are age, education and training. Factors influencing the compliance of
the practice are training, coaching and behavior. The results of multivariable analysis with show no
significant correlation among the compliance, knowledge with practice. Controlling the variables of

INDONESIA
Nana Rochana, Virginia Plummer, Julia Morphet
Postgraduate student of School of Nursing and Midwifery, Monash University

ABSTRACT
Background: Triage systems have rapidly developed in some countries in the last three decades in
order to respond to demand for emergency services by growing populations and emergency health
needs. However, this development in triage systems does not appear to have been matched in
Indonesian hospitals. The triage system in Indonesia remains obscure. There may be many systems in
use and this is likely to impact on both patient care and workforce issues. No published research on
triage practices in Indonesia has been identified. Therefore, this paper reports on a study which aims to
capture and analyze the views of those who work with the triage systems in EDs in Indonesia from a
range of different perspectives. The research question developed in this study was What are the
current triage systems in Emergency Departments in Indonesia? Methods: The research design of
this study was descriptive qualitative using semi-structured interviews of twelve policy makers or
persons responsible from five different organizations which informed triage practice in Indonesia,
particularly in Central Java. The inclusion criteria also described that the participants should have had
at least two years experience working in emergency care setting, or at least one year experience as
policy makers or persons responsible for health care policy. Results: Participants reported that the
most broadly used triage system in Indonesia was a four-level triage system according to the decree of
the Health Minister in 1992. However, an evaluation of this system has never been published. They
also described that there was inadequate implementation of the Indonesian triage system even though
some benefits from the current triage system were reported. Triage doctors were reported as the main
trieurs in Indonesian triage practice though there was a good precedent to use triage nurses in the
future. Four steps of triage process ranging from receiving to prioritizing were reported as the triaging
procedures in Indonesia which were almost similar to the international literature except for a re-triage
step. In addition, participants explained to the difficulties associated with the qualifications and roles
of trieurs. Finally, bed access block, which increased ED workload and decreased the quality of
emergency care service including triage, was revealed as a significant factor in the patient flow.
Conclusion: Some recommendations were made for the stakeholders. First, evaluation of the current
triage system should be carried out before implementing new triage systems. Second, a new health
policy in triage practice with a national approach and setting the guideline, standards, and quality
indicators for evaluation should be carried out by The Ministry of Health. Third, the roles of nurses in
the triage practice and in the policy making positions should be developed by including these roles in
the curriculum of nursing education. Last, the accuracy of triage decisions should be improved by
endorsing some qualifications for trieurs and preparing emergency practitioners for the role of trieurs
through triage education.

ABSTRACT
Background: In Japan, Children with childhood cancer hospitalized for about 10 months, in general.
Many schoolchildren with cancer enroll in the class-hospital after diagnosis. There are many
problems and challenges to return to school after completing the treatment. Purpose: To identify the
real-time determination of actual problems and challenges of returning to school in lower-grade school
children hospitalized for childhood cancer. Method: The subjects were three school children
immediately before or after being discharged from the hospital and their parents, attending physicians,
hospital class teachers, and primary nurses (PNs). We conducted a semi-structured interview for about
30 minutes with each subject and recorded it verbatim to perform the summarizing content analysis
proposed by Mayring (2004). The parts of the interview were abstracted and coded where childrens
problems and challenges in returning to school and required professional support were expressed.
Then, the similarity and difference of content were reviewed and categorized. This study was
conducted with the approval of the ethics review board of the university hospital. Result: The three
categories extracted as the problems and challenges of lower grade school returnees with childhood
cancer after extended hospitalization were delay in learning already present at discharge, difficulty
creating life images after returning to school, and parental concern about whether or not the
returning child will be accepted in the class due to significant changes in body image. Children with
poor academic performance from the beginning had a more significant learning delay at discharge.
Their academic performance and disease awareness were proportional, and those with low disease
awareness (regardless of repeated explanations from PNs) tended to have more difficulty in imagining
how their life would be after returning to school. Parents were more sensitive than children
themselves to changes in their body images such as hair loss and skin pigmentation due to the adverse
reactions of chemotherapy and worried about peer acceptance after returning to school. Conclusion:
Our study results suggest that pediatric nurses should support children with childhood cancer and the
family from the hospitalization period by promoting learning, creating an education environment,
developing disease awareness and life image after returning to school, and addressing anxiety in
parents. In this process it is also important to share the common perspective of children and family
soon returning to their previous life among multiple professionals including hospital class teachers,
social workers, psychotherapists, and physicians, as well as to continue support after discharge.

ABSTRACT
Background: Nurses are responsible to improve their capability and knowledge in giving nursing
care, including sharing their skills and knowledge to junior nurses and nursing students. This
professional development can be done by applying mentorship and preceptorship method supported by
management. Mentors and preceptors having big roles in this method can help nursing students in
transition and integration process into clinical setting and working area. They also support nursing
students to achieve competencies and self confidence, and to be involved in professional life.
Purpose: The objective of this research is to know the experiences of mentors, preceptors and nursing
students when they apply this method during learning process in internship program. Method: The
study design was an evaluation study which focused on implementation of a method. The data was
collected by using focus group discussion from seven participants; they are 1 mentor, 2 preceptors,
and 4 students. Result: The result show that each component knows well about their roles even though
there are obstacles during conduct the method, such as: the number of mentors and preceptors is
limited, and the number of students in each of shift is not same. Since they feel that this method is
effective, they have solving problem which will be done, for instance: adding the number of mentor
and preceptors, using co-preceptors in order to make the number of students in each shift equally. This
method also helps students to achieve their competencies easily, and they feel more confident during
giving nursing care for the patients. Conclusion: It is important for clinical instructors (CI) to get
skills how to implement mentorship preceptorship method in order to apply it in internship learning
process by joining training and scientific meeting how to applying this method in better way.

Portia Zoleta-Vitug

ABSTRACT
Background: The state of the environment is a global concern that affects the lives of people. The
drawbacks of the environmental exploitation have drastically become evident. Air pollution poses
impediments and develops chronic illnesses such as lung cancer. Many organizations have formulated
measures and refined the curriculum concerning health and environment; the causal links between
environmental change and human health are too complex that people have to find a way of forestalling
the negative effects of environmental hazards and providing an avenue of a wedded interest on health
and environment. Purpose: This study is an attempt to rationalize the importance of globallycompetitive environmental nursing curriculum in view of benchmarking with international schools.
Method: The author utilized a congruency model to review the current nursing curriculum in the
Philippines and selected foreign curricula in an attempt to integrate the 7 environmental principles in
the core subjects of the current Philippine Nursing Program using. Futhermore, the author made use of
the Delphi method. Result: The study yielded the following conclusions: 1.) The profile of the
Nursing curriculum in the Philippines matches the need for inclusion of health and environment
principles. All nursing major subjects based on the course description are congruent to the external
process. Some nursing subjects however, do not contain environmental principles. 2.) The external
process system in the benchmark schools allotted more time for major subjects during college years.
This must be considered and studied further. 3.) The inclusion of seven environmental principles to the
nursing profession is congruent to the need for a competent environmental nurse. 4.) The high average
weighted means and percentage show a strong awareness and appreciation of the 7 environmental
principles which shall form part of the proposed core subjects in the nursing program.
