Indonesian nursing students' intention to accept COVID-19 vaccines: an online, multicentre survey.

BACKGROUND: The determinants of intention to accept the COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among nursing students during this pandemic need to be identified. AIMS: The study assessed nursing students' attitudes to vaccination, health engagement and trust in government, as well as their intention to have a COVID-19 vaccination. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among nursing students in three provinces of Java, Indonesia, from December 2020 to February 2021. Convenience sampling was used to gather primary data from 640 participants through a structured online survey. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the results. FINDINGS: All items of vaccine attitude and health engagement as well as trust in government were positive predictors of vaccine acceptance after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSION: Nursing students were more likely to accept vaccination if they had a positive attitude to vaccination, high levels of health engagement and trust in the government regarding tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effect of oromuscular stimulation on neonate latch score

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral stimulation on breastfeeding on infants. Method: This study uses the design of one group pre-test-post-test. The population was mature neonates aged < 14 days who were born without complications at a midwife clinic in Pekanbaru city. The sample consisted of 16 respondents. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling with criteria, mothers did not have breast problems and were willing to become respondents. The implementation of intervention was carried out by pre-test, 5min oromuscular stimulation, then a 5-minute pause, then waiting for the next breastfeeding time and post-test. Breastfeeding ability is assessed with Latch score. Results: The results of the univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents aged 25-35 years (56.3%), the majority were housewife (87.5%), more than half were multiparous (62.5%) and most of the neonates were male (68.8%). The mean of Latch score before the intervention was 7.3 points and after intervention was 9.3 points. The results with the Wilcoxon test showed an increase in the ability of breastfeeding after an intervention of 2 point (p-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Oromuscular stimulation can be suggested as an alternative therapy to improve breastfeeding ability in neonates

Does exclusive breastfeeding correlate with infant's early language milestone?

Objective: This study aims to assess the correlation between the exclusive breastfeeding status with infant's early language milestone. Method: The design of this study is the correlational study with cross sectional method. This study examined 57 infants who lived around Harapan Raya Community Health Center Pekanbaru. The age of the infants was 6 months old during the data collection. The breastfeeding status was examined by using the questionnaire. The infants early language development was assessed by using the questionnaire which was modified from ELM Scale 2 (Early Language Milestone Scale 2). The data was analyzed by using the chi square or Fisher exact test to assess the correlation of exclusive breastfeeding status with each milestone on the 6 months infants language development. Results: The study found that exclusive breastfeeding status has correlated significantly with two language milestones which are Auditory Expressive 6 (AE 6) the infant ability to produce mono babbling (0.044) and Auditory Receptive 6 (AR 6) the infant inhibit to 'no' (0.011). Conclusions: This study found that exclusive breastfeeding has a correlation in infant language milestone. However due to small sampling size, further study needed to be done to assess the effect of breastfeeding for infants with the bigger scale of population
