Authors: Osman Maisarah , Mohd Zain Norhasmah 
Published: July 2022

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Healthy lifestyle practices can prevent cardiovascular complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, but most studies showed that many people ignore these preventive measures. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices of cardiovascular disease prevention among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Methods: The study involved 54 respondents through systematic random sampling. The self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection from February 2020 to March 2020. Findings: The mean age of the respondents was 54.50 ± 15.04 years. The findings revealed that 50% of the respondents had good knowledge while the other 50% had poor knowledge. Half (51.90%) of the respondents had poor practice regarding cardiovascular disease prevention. Factors significantly associated with the level of cardiovascular disease prevention practice were ethnic (p<0.05) and monthly household income (p<0.03). Conclusion: The knowledge of cardiovascular disease among the respondents was average but the practices of a healthy lifestyle to prevent the disease were still inadequate. The study emphasizes the need for more effective educational programs about cardiovascular disease and the recommended healthy lifestyle practices precisely for diabetic patients to keep the complication at bay thus achieving a better quality of life.

Mental Health and Well-Being of Undergraduate Dental Students: A Systematic Review
Authors: Abu Bakar Noraini , Lim Shea Lee , Basri Nadzirah Ahmad , Mohamed Ludin Salizar 
Published: July 2022

Mental well-being is the very foundation for emotions, cognition and communication. Mental well-being and mental illness are correlated entities and thus mental well-being should be addressed holistically. Psychological stress, especially chronic stress, can impact one’s health and mental well-being. Dentistry in particular is often said to be highly stressful. This paper aimed to discuss the available literature on mental well-being amongst dental undergraduate students including the prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress, sources of stress, coping strategies and intervention programs. Evidence from this review showed that dental students often had high levels of stress, and also a high prevalence of depression and anxiety which contributed to lower mental well-being in this population. The main sources of stress were mostly academic and clinical factors. Dental students had different coping mechanisms. Social support was found to be a significant factor when coping with stress. Initiatives to bring about improvement of mental well-being and to help students manage stress also showed promising results. Although many studies examined mental health among dental students, most of the studies are cross-sectional in design and were mainly focused on assessing students according to the symptoms they display, e.g. depressed or non-depressed, with very few studies giving focus on the mental well-being of the students. Very little attention was given to students who are 'well' but at risk of developing poor mental well-being. Thus, it is recommended that further research focuses on mental well-being and early intervention measures so as to prevent possible mental health deteriorations.

Published: July 2022

Background: Nurses play a significant role in health care and have the most direct contact with patients, making them the most likely to encounter ethical questions regularly. Therefore, their knowledge and understanding of the code of ethics and professional conduct are essential. In Brunei Darussalam, these codes were developed in 2010 by the Nursing Board for Brunei, Ministry of Health. However, factors influencing nurses' knowledge and understanding of these codes have not yet been studied. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine community nurses' perception of factors influencing knowledge and understanding of the codes. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used as the study design. The data were collected through individual and group semi-structured interviews and analysed using the qualitative thematic analysis method. This study was conducted on community nurses who hold managerial responsibility in four health centres in Brunei. Findings: Three factors were identified to influence Bruneian nurses' knowledge and understanding of the codes. These factors were "a lack of reinforcement", "nurses' attitude", and "work environment". Conclusion: The knowledge of the codes by community nurses is deemed to be adequate. The findings, however, highlight the need for nurses to have an enhanced understanding of the codes.

Authors: Abdul Razak Razileyana , Abdul Razak Norhalizawaty , Zolkefli Yusrita 
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Nurses' professional competence is a key factor for the quality of nursing practice, as the competence level directly influences the patient’s safety. A lack of competence among nurses raises several concerns and thus contributes to adverse effects of patient outcomes. These concerns, particularly how nurse managers understand and address incompetent practices, have not been thoroughly explored in the local context. Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore nurse managers' views of incompetent nursing practice in a community healthcare setting. Methods: A descriptive qualitative research was conducted in one single district in Brunei Darussalam with a purposive sample of nine community nurse managers from six healthcare centres. Data collection was by audio recorded of in-depth interviews. These interviews were coded and thematically analysed. Findings: The study participants discussed their perspectives on incompetent practice, the reasons for incompetence, and nurse managers' reactions to incompetence. Conclusion: The findings show that the standard views of 'incompetent' meant were elusive and inconsistent among nurse managers. Such inconsistency resulted in poor identification and management of ethical issues. Therefore, to ensure consistency, a clear view and understanding of what constitutes incompetent nursing practice must be established.

LETTER TO EDITOR Challenges for Education in Nursing Nursing challenges have evolved over time, but the profession itself remains true to those who are motivated to serve others. Nurses are responsible for more than just patient care; they are also responsible for the promotion of health care and personal well-being. Nursing education, the role in community care, the development of areas of specialisation, and nursing leadership all require periodic transformation in line with rapid technological change, the world's growing elderly population, and the current twists and challenges in providing the best possible care. Nurses have an impact on people of all ages, ethnic groups, backgrounds, and communities while working tirelessly to meet the sick and vulnerable's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Nursing is a profession that requires someone who is resilient, dedicated, and empathetic in order to provide care to the community. According to WHO recommendations, nursing education should be standardised around the world, with minimum qualifications at Bachelor’s degree. Advanced degree programmes, such as a have expanded the offerings and reach of modern-day nurses, providing them with the skills needed to meet evolving nursing challenges. Nurses must brace themselves for upcoming challenges, which may worsen as the world's population grows. As a result, the specialisation curriculum should include more areas involving clinical experience for various specialties and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, and public health. This is exacerbated by an increase in the number of patients with a wide range of problems and symptoms that necessitate the specialisation of advanced clinical skills, the complexity of work, and the dedication to patient care. In the face of various challenges, a lack of nursing expertise will limit treatment to patients and even weaken treatment care. Nurses with specialisations in developing countries have been able to provide the best possible care to patients with a high rate of success. However, in order to be a successful nurse, each nurse must have certain strengths, interests, and expertise In order to prepare for becoming a developed country and facing future challenges, such nursing strategies and directions must be prepared in accordance with WHO recommendations. Today, nursing is a vast and varied field with a plethora of opportunities for those interested in pursuing it as a career. Nursing challenges are unique due to the level of investment nurses have in their work. They get to know their patients, are concerned about their needs, and contribute significantly to their patients' recovery. Despite the daily challenges of nursing, they make a difference in the lives of the many people they touch. References
