The study sample consisted of 42 voluntary senior nursing students (the 4th year) studying at the Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University. Research instruments consisted of (1) karaoke videotape of nursing care in patients with cardiovascular disease (2) a Knowledge Test (KT) of nursing care in patients with cardiovascular disease and a Attitude Questionnaire of Using karaoke videotape (AQU). All were tested for the content validity. The reliability of KT and AQU were 0.86 and 0.82, respectively.Regarding the study trial, the researchers produced karaoke videotape based on the contents of nursing care in patients with cardiovascular disease by the assistance of volunteer nursing students who participated in composing and singing songs. The completed karaoke videotape was used with another group of students for outcome testing. The volunteer students were asked to complete the KT (pre-test) before studying the contents of nursing care in patients with cardiovascular disease from the karaoke videotape for about 15 minutes in the classroom. After that they were asked to complete the KT and AQU again (posttest). Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation and independent t-test.The result of the study showed that the average scores of the knowledge test after studying nursing contents with the VCD karaoke were significantly higher than those before, at the significant level of .001.Item Factors for predicting and the quality of sleep as perceived by nurses in southern regional hospitals and medical centers(Songklanagarind Medical Journal, 2010-01-15) K Yodchai; A Oumtanee; T ChinnawongThe purposes of this research were to study sleep quality and the predictors of sleep quality as perceived by nurses working at the southern regional hospital and medical centers. Two hundred and forty nurses were selected by random sampling. The research parameters were personal factors, fatigue and the quality of sleep. Fatigue and Sleep Quality scales were tested for the content validity by five experts. The reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of Fatigue and Sleep Quality Scales were 0.92 and 0.72, respectively. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.The major findings were as follows:1. Nurses had good levels of sleep quality (X=110, SD=16.74, total scores = 150).2. Fatigue had a significant negative relationship to sleep quality (r=-.521), while doing exercise had a significant positive relationship to quality of sleep (r=.204).3. Variables significantly predicting the sleep quality of nurses, at p=.05, were fatigue and doing exercise. These predictors accounted for 28.7% of the variance.These results indicated that fatigue was a factor decreasing sleep quality but doing exercise was a factor improving sleep quality of nurses in the southern regional hospital and medical centers.Item Injured experience, impact and management of the victims and their families from the bomb in Hatyai district, Songkhla province(Songklanagarind Medical Journal, 2010-01-15) K Yodchai; P Nakdum; P ThaniwattananonObjective: The purpose of this study were to analyze the experience of injury, the impacts, and the management of injury of the victims and their families from the bomb explosion in Hat Yai district, Songkhla province.Design: Qualitative research.Material and methods: The subjects were a group of wounded victims and families who came to receive nursing treatment at public and private hospitals in Hat Yai for the total number of twenty-five cases. Among these cases, twenty-one cases were wounded victims who were particularly selected because of the severity of the injuries sustained. The remaining four cases were families of wounded victims which were selected because of their acquaintance with the wounded victims as the principal care takers or direct family members who lived currently with the wounded victims. The in-depth interview technique of qualitative study was performed using a self-administered questionnaire.Results: The informants presented their experiences of the trauma caused by the explosion together with the meaning they gave to the event. Four categories of experiences and their meaning were identified: 1) Like being in the unstable event, 2) like being in the severe event, 3) the event affected many people, and 4) the event is related to karma. As regards the help received during the event, the informants presented their feelings, which were divided into two categories: 1) Feeling impressed by the help received 2) Feeling that the help received was not enough and that there was a lack of equal treatment. The effects received by the explosion could be described in 3 categories: 1) Physical effect, 2) mind effect, 3) economic and social effect. For the physical effect, there were 2 subcategories: 1) Trauma and lost organs and 2) difficulties in body movements and, as a consequence, a decrease of daily activities. For the mind effect, there were 3 subcategories: 1) Being angry, 2) being frightenedand suspicious, and 3) accepting of the event. For economic and social effects, there were 3 subcategories: 1) Changing role in the family, 2) decrease of income, and 3) decrease in social interactions plus a low quality of life. Furthermore, the study found that informants would have two processes for trauma management that were 1) solving problem by themselves, and 2) tellingabout their experience to other people. However, the informants gave four suggestions to improve the helping system, these were: 1) victims should be continuously taken care of, 2) there should be a clear classification system for individual help, 3) patients should have their rights to select the clinic, and 4) there should be fast transportation system for patients.Conclusion: This study received a body of basic knowledge that can help us to prepare for events that might happen in the future by using the experiences of the victims and their families in order to identify needs in the physical, mental, social and spiritual contexts with a view to improve the coping strategies in relation to these needs.Item Selected factors relating to the sleep quality of nurses in regional hospitals in southern(Songklanagarind Medical Journal, 2009-12-22) K Yodchai; A Oumtanee; T ChinnawongThe purposes of this research were to study the quality of sleep and its related variables and predictors as perceived by professional nurses.
