Authors: Bin Sidek Ahmad Zulkhairul Naim , Che Hasan Muhammad Kamil
Published: July 2022

Introduction:  Cancer is the leading cause of death for children and adolescents globally with 300,000 children aged 0-19 are diagnosed with cancer every year, mainly leukaemia, lymphomas and brain cancers. Like other causes of cancer, the difficulty arises because of multi-factorial aetiologies involving the interaction between genetic factors as well as environmental exposures. Aims:  This study aimed to analyse published studies on the relationship between childhood leukaemia and exposures to pesticides. Methods: The search on the literature database Ovid-MEDLINE search strategy was conducted for the period from 1995 to 2014. The quality of non-randomised studies was assessed by using Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results: Six studies investigated the relationship related to parental residential exposure and one study, showed an association between childhood leukaemia and maternal exposure. Two studies investigated the relationship to maternal residential exposure. Two studies reported an association between childhood leukaemia and parental occupational exposure. One study showed a positive association out of two studies that evaluated the association related to parental occupational and residential exposure. This review provides evidence of weak to modest association between childhood leukaemia and pesticides exposure in most of the studies. Conclusion: Most studies showed an association; however, the causation remains unexplained because of limitations such as potential bias, faulty study design and sample frame, lack of statistical power and also ascertainment of exposure.

Authors: Ahmad Zawawi Azlyn , Mohd. Nasurdin Aizzat
Published: July 2022

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

Published: July 2022

Background: Clinical learning environment (CLE) is an environment in which any person who could influence the care of a patient learns. The CLE affects the effectiveness of clinical practicum that is a significant part of the nursing curriculum. However, there are limited studies that focus on the CLE of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Objectives: To assess the nursing students’ perception of the clinical learning environment of ICU, and to determine the associated socio-demographic characteristic with the clinical learning environment of ICU. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted via purposive sampling at Kulliyyah of Nursing, IIUM Kuantan. The Adopted Students Evaluation of Clinical Education Environment (SECEE) version 3 questionnaire was used to assess the students’ perception of CLE of ICU within three subscales (instructor facilitation of learning (IFL), preceptor/staff nurse facilitation of learning (PFL) and learning opportunities (LO)). Results: A total of 141 nursing students participated in this study. Based on the mean score, the students have a positive perception of the CLE of ICU (79.41%). The subscale IFL was the most positively perceived (84.44%) followed by subscale LO (77.49%) and subscale PFL (75.64%). There was a significant difference seen for subscale LO between gender (p-value=0.008), male students gave a higher score compared to the female student. A significant mean difference was also found for subscale IFL between years of study (p-value=0.002), suggesting that the senior student had a more positive score compared to their junior. No association was found between students’ age and duration of clinical practicum in ICU with the CLE score. Conclusion: The nursing students’ perception of the CLE of ICU is positive. However, the score for subscale PFL is the lowest compared to another subscale. Hence, the nursing faculty should work together with the ward management to enhance the role and engagement of staff nurses in students learning. By doing this, the CLE of ICU will get better and eventually improve the clinical learning outcome.

Published: July 2022

This community service was carried out due to the skyrocketing cases of Covid-19 at the time, yet people kept reluctant to get vaccinated because of their insufficient understanding and doubt toward the vaccine. Hence, to alleviate this condition, health education about the systemic reactions of Covid-19 vaccine and how to handle them was essentially needed. The purpose of this activity was to assess the level of pre and post knowledge on the Covid-19 vaccine’s Moderna.  The activities started by doing preparation, and followed by delivering the health education and processing the collected data from the pretest and post-test as an evaluation. The data were analyzed by using a paired sample T-test. The results showed that before the health education, the average value of knowledge was 70.87 and increased to 95.70 after the activity with a p-value of 0.001. Thus, it is expected that the participants of this community service can socialize the knowledge they have gotten to the surrounding community so that people at large can take part in preventing wider transmission of Covid-19. To say the least, it can be concluded that this health education could increase people’s knowledge about various systemic reactions of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine and methods in overcoming the follow-up reactions.
