Introduction: The provision of humanistic and professional nursing care services needs to be carried out comprehensively, and it must cover patients’ bio-psycho-socio-spiritual aspects. This indicates nurses have to integrate all the basic nursing science, including physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and pathophysiology, while carrying out their duties. This integration helps to provide the best care for their patients, but they often uncertain about the basic science approach to use. Therefore, this study aimsto explore the experience of nurses using basic nursing science in caring for patients with chronic diseases.
Design and Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 5 nurses working in chronic disease wards for at least 5 years. Each respondent was then interviewed using a self-constructed questionnaire.
Results: All respondents agreed that basic nursing science is important in providing quality healthcare services. Furthermore, six themes were identified using the thematic analysis, namely (1) the process of collecting patient data, which was more focused and organized; (2) required for establishing the nursing diagnosis; (3) useful for determining the nursing care plan; (4) it is a basis for implementing nursing actions; (5) provides a basis for monitoring and follow-up; (6) and teamwork between health personnel is more effective.
Conclusions: Based on the interview results, nurses need knowledge and skills in basic nursing science while caring for patients with chronic diseases. Furthermore, basic nursing sciences lay the foundation for nurses while assessing patients, diagnosing, planning the care, implementing nursing actions, evaluating patients’ condition, and collaborating with other health personnel.

Authors: Mwaifyusi Hussein Athumani , Dau Ramadhani Kitwana 
Published: February 2023

Regardless of its relevance for business performance, the influence of innovation on the performance of manufacturing firms in Tanzania is not well documented. Thus, this study aimed to examine the effects of innovation on business performance of manufacturing firms in Tanzania. The study used cross-sectional design and quantitative approach. Copies of a structured questionnaire were administered to 420 participants from 28 manufacturing companies in Dar es Salaam and Coast Regions. An impressive response rate of 93.1% was achieved. Data were tested for reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Tests for normality, multicollinearity and autocorrelation were conducted, and the results showed the data were reliable, normally distributed, free of multicollinearity and autocorrelation problems. Descriptive and multiple regression statistical techniques were employed. The results suggested that a significant positive effect existed between performance of manufacturing firms and product innovation (B=0.705, p=0.001), process innovation (B=0.640, p=0.000) and marketing innovation (B=.818, p=0.000). The obvious implication to industry is that innovation is important to business success of the manufacturing companies, thus the governments should motivate firms to innovate continuously by giving incentives to invest in R&D. Past studies linking innovation and performance have focused on financial measures of performance. The major contribution of the current study is to use non-financial measures of performance such as business growth and responsiveness to change.

Authors: Masoud Y. , Emmanuel T. , Salum M. 
Published: February 2023

Despite a lot of initiatives being undertaken by the United Republic of Tanzania to improve public procurement, the performance of many of the contracted projects is not satisfactory since a significant amount of public money is lost through procurement contract management. The aim of this study was to determine the role of procurement contract management in Tanzania's parastatal entities. The study examined the impact of contract preparation, the competence of the contract management team, and the contract allocated budget on procurement performance and made recommendations for improving it. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design whereby data were collected by using a close-ended questionnaire. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 241 respondents who were heads of departments from the 93 parastatal organizations. The data were analysed descriptively by computing descriptive statistics and inferentially using a multiple regression model. The findings indicated that contract preparation, competence of contract management teams, and contract allocated budget had significant positive relationships with procurement performance at p<0.05. The study recommends that parastatal organizations' management should ensure that there is proper contact preparation, each contract being managed by a competent contract management team, and there is enough budget allocation for every project before it is started.
Effect of Audit Opinions and Entity's Characteristics on Audit Committees' Effectiveness in Government Entities in Tanzania
Authors: Mwombeki Frank Arbogast 
Published: February 2023

This paper examines the influence of audit opinions and entity characteristics on audit committee effectiveness (ACE) in government entities. Using a large sample of government entities in Tanzania as a reference, the paper adopted the resource dependency theory to explain the theme. Data were collected from 230 government entities' financial statements and Controller and Auditor General (CAG) reports from 2014/15 to 2019/20. The ordinary least square (OLS) technique was utilised to obtain regression results. The results show that disclaimer opinion negatively affects Audit Committee (AC) effectiveness. Qualified Opinion and Adverse Opinion were found to be insignificant though they had a negative relationship the same as disclaimer opinion. Specifically, unqualified opinion is a significant positive aspect related to AC effectiveness. Furthermore, entity structure, size, and location significantly and positively influenced AC effectiveness. On the other hand, firm age had statistically insignificant effect. The study findings imply that an entity should have experienced/competent audit committee members in accountancy. Also, the audit committee must be well-composed and have sufficient resources to obtain a clean report. Therefore, the paper recommends inviting the national audit office to every audit committee meeting. The board and management should emphasise on the budget for the training AC members. Further, the President's Office - TAMISEMI and the ministry responsible for finance should insist on the establishment and activeness of AC in all government entities in Tanzania. As per the author's knowledge, this paper adds new empirical knowledge by utilising CAG reports to link the effectiveness of AC with audit opinions and entity characteristics in Tanzania.
The Mediation Effect of Business Environment on How Firm Characteristics Relate to Environmental Disclosure in Tanzania's Extractive Industry
Authors: Ponsian Ntui , Chalu Henry , Mzenzi Siasa 
Published: February 2023

This study determines the function of the business environment as a mediating factor on how firm characteristics relate to the environmental disclosure in the Tanzanian extractive industry through legitimacy and stakeholder theories lens. The analysis makes use of panel data from the 2018 Tanzania Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (TEITI) report covering the years 2004 to 2018, following the adoption of an environmental management Act and its implementing laws in Tanzania. To extract data from yearly reports, the manifest content analysis was employed. The results show that the relationship between corporate profitability, size, and environmental disclosure is mediated by pressure of stakeholders. Furthermore, the findings imply that the relationship between size of firm and environmental disclosure is mediated by visibility by the media. However, the legal need does not operate as a buffer between any firm characteristic and environmental disclosure, indicating that laws, regulations, and rules are not the only drivers of environmental disclosure. For the first time, the study introduces, quantifies, and examines the business environment as the only justification for environmental disclosure. The study combines legitimacy and stakeholder theories, treating businesses as entities with internal decision-making processes that are also influenced by pressure from the outside world. The study also suggests that enhancing environmental disclosure and business participation may not be possible with just rules or legislation. The study demonstrates that stakeholder theory works more effectively in situations when powerful stakeholders put significant pressure on businesses to disclose environmental information. In terms of society, the study would promote social involvement in ensuring that businesses disclose and protect the environment so that people can live in safety.
Challenges Facing Learners’ Acquisition of Employability Competencies under Competency-Based Education and Training Approach in Vocational Education and Training Centres in Tanzania
Authors: Mgaya Shukurani 
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this article is to investigate the causes of inadequate employability competencies among vocational education and training (VET) graduates using a competency-based education and training (CBET) approach. The article identifies respondents' perspectives on the challenges of acquiring employability competencies during the civil artisans' training and learning process in VETIs under CBET and explores opinions for overcoming those challenges. Data were gathered from 126 respondents through semi-structured interviews with trainers and employers, an open-ended questionnaire for learners, and employee-focused group discussions. A qualitative exploratory approach research design was used. Thematic analysis was used to analyse documents and interview transcripts. The findings revealed that the acquisition of employability competencies is hampered by learner characteristics, insufficient training and learning resources, shortage of trainers, English language problems, training methods, and negative perception of parents and learners on VET programmes, all of which were identified in the conceptual framework and mentioned by all categories of respondents. It is likely that the challenges discovered were not novel, with the exception of a lack of internet and a scarcity of clean water and food, which were context-specific issues. As a result, the study recommends that government and VET stakeholders should ensure the availability of learning resources to enhance effective training and learning at VET. More serious English language instruction should begin in primary school, according to the government and VET stakeholders. VET trainers should improve field supervision exercises and expose trainees to the working environment where employability competencies can be imparted more easily than through classroom training alone. Trainers should also participate in workshops and industrial visits to gain skills and knowledge about labour market needs. This will improve trainers' and trainees' understanding of labour-market requirements.

Authors: Brito da Silva Marcelo , Carvalho Pereira Vinícius 
Published: February 2023

O artigo analisa um dos usos que José Saramago fez dos Cadernos de Lanzarote, a saber, o diário como forma de comprazimento próprio ou, conforme expresso no prefácio à obra, um “espelho de confiança”, bem como excertos que registram o modo como o escritor reagiu a acusações de uma escrita narcisista. São acionados autores que refletiram sobre a escrita diarística de modo geral, como Lejeune (2014), Didier (1991), Rocha (1977) e Gusdorf (1991) e, pelo lado da crítica saramaguiana, contribuições de Seixo (1987), Baptista (1997), Reis (1996), Mathias (1997) e Altemberg (2002). Nossa análiseindica que os diários de Saramago revelam um homem que cultiva uma autoestima sã diante de seus sucessos, temperada por uma retórica damodéstia.

Authors: Moerbeck Cardoso Mazzetto Fernanda , Rocha de Souza Gabriela , Cerântola Siqueira Fernanda Paula 
Published: February 2023

Transtorno de ansiedade é considerado um problema de saúde pública. Faz-se necessário, então compreender, nos artigos publicados, os sinais e sintomas de ansiedade da pessoa no período pré-operatório e como a equipe de saúde atua para minimizá-los. Pela revisão de literatura, na modalidade integrativa, foram acessadas as bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF e INDEX PSICOLOGIA. Incluíram-se os artigos publicados nos últimos dez anos, disponíveis em língua inglesa, portuguesa e espanhola. Foram encontrados 123 artigos, com 42 duplicados, sendo selecionados 26 periódicos, com prevalência de ensaio clínico e classificação Qualis A2, principalmente da base de dados MEDLINE e categoria profissional enfermagem, com maior número de publicações. Os 26 artigos selecionados abordaram os sinais e sintomas de ansiedade, seguidos da caracterização dos participantes segundo a faixa etária. Foi usada uma escala de avaliação para mensurar a ansiedade em relação a vários tipos de procedimentos cirúrgicos. A partir da análise desses artigos, emergiram três categorias temáticas: Estratégias implementadas pela equipe de saúde diante do transtorno de ansiedade, Estratégias de atuação não implementadas pela equipe de saúde, porém utilizadas nas intervenções e Utilização de escalas como estratégia para intervenção. Propõe-se que estudos sejam realizados para que a assistência ao paciente cirúrgico seja mais qualificada, no sentido de minimização da ansiedade no momento pré-operatório e nos momentos intra e pós-operatório, a fim de que haja menos eventos mal sucedidos e melhor reabilitação biopsicossocial, dos pacientes considerando as necessidades de saúde e a integralidade do cuidado.

Published: February 2023

Pendahuluan: Perempuan dengan HIV/AIDS memiliki risiko mengalami psikopatologi yang lebih tinggi dibanding laki-laki, meskipun data pendukung mengenai hal ini sangat minim. Untuk mengatasi stresor yang dialami, penderita HIV/AIDS membangun berbagai bentuk mekanisme koping, dan seringkali menggunakan mekanisme koping yang maladaptif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui adanya hubungan antara psikopatologi dan mekanisme koping pada perempuan dengan HIV/AIDS.
Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan menilai psikopatologi (kuesioner SCL-90), dan mekanisme koping (kuesioner Brief COPE) pada perempuan dengan HIV/AIDS di Pokdisus RS Cipto Mangunkusumo.
Hasil: Dari 116 responden sejumlah 37,1% memiliki psikopatologi, dan diantaranya psikopatologi terbanyak adalah depresi (44,2%). Mekanisme koping yang tersering digunakan oleh seluruh responden adalah religion (46,6%). Korelasi psikopatologi dengan mekanisme koping adalah r= 0,292 dan p=0,001.
Kesimpulan. Didapatkan hubungan bermakna dengan korelasi positif dan kekuatan lemah antara psikopatologi dan mekanisme koping. Mekanisme koping religion lebih banyak digunakan oleh responden tanpa psikopatologi. Responden dengan psikopatologi yang menggunakan koping religion sering disertai dengan penggunaan koping self blame. Manajemen tatalaksana perempuan dengan HIV/AIDS yang komprehensif dapat dilakukan dengan deteksi dini psikopatologi dan mekanisme koping.
