(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2009-12) Thin, Daw Thin
This phenomenological research is the lived experiences of the five mothers who practiced breast feeding with Early Complementary Feeding (ECF). The study was conducted in Mingaladon Township, Yangon, Myanmar. The purposes of this study are to explore the mother's knowledge regarding ECF, to explore the mother's perception regarding ECF and to identify influencing factors to breast feeding practice of mother. A number of specific emotional problems were encountered because of traditional acceptance to feed early complementary food during Exclusive Breast Feeding (EBF), and results of their learning from close neighbors in complex nature. It is thus necessary to study the understanding and acceptance of the mothers to provide proper breast feeding including EBF with new born babies according to National Breast Feeding Policy (NBFP). Five mothers living in Mingaladon Township who had breast fed babies participated in this study. Semi-structured interview method was used to uncover the expressions of the respondents. It was found that the mothers who breast-fed gave a variety of explanations for feeding their babies early complementary food during EBF. Their beliefs, perception, and knowledge were commonly found to be influencing factors of Myanmar culture. Illnesses of the babies due to ECF were described in this study. Worries of mother regarding illness which resulted from ECF were also discovered in this study. Some mothers did not follow the health policy despite the government laid down the policy and provided Health Education. Therefore, it is recommended that breast feeding mothers have to follow NBFP under the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and Baby Friendly Home Delivery (BFHD) for successful EBF in the world.

(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2009-12) Angela, Naw
The purpose of the study was to find out the nurses' experiences of providing mental healthcare. Research question was "What are the experiences of nurses providing mental health nursing care?" The setting was at Mental Health Hospital, Yangon. Nine nurses participated with service ranging between 3 months and 33 years. The data were collected through interviews, field notes, observation, audio-taped recording, memos and written materials. Data were analyzed by using QSR NVivo software. For data analysis, 5 phases and 9 steps of building theory was used through the grounded theory methodology. For the first cases, open ended questions were used however, semi-structured questions were used for the third participants to the ninth participants. The finding highlighted the research question of mental healthcare. The core category was "Chores Care" and five broad subcategories: providing direct care, managing in care, managing patient environment, medical and collaborative activity and education information emerged. The terms Chores Care, nurse, patient, colleagues, community, family, environment, experience, nursing, and health were operationally defined. The performances of participants who care for mental illness were same as parents who nurture and care their children. All in-patients were provided care by participants who had suitable responsibilities to protect them. It was recommended to implicate the emergent theory to general health care setting, to test the theory and to conduct further study about mental health nursing care in various aspects. By using Chores Care theory, nurses can give light for nursing education and improve quality nursing care in Myanmar.

The data were analyzed and compared. It was found that the clinical learning environment and the collaboration between the clinical and the teaching staff had improved significantly, and the clinical staff became more aware of their important roles towards effective clinical teaching. There was slight improvement after the intervention in Yangon, whereas there was significant improvement in all categories with an increase of 74% to 94% in collaboration in Hpa-an. The results of this study indicate that designation and delegation of duties with proper training and communication can further strengthen effective collaboration between clinical and teaching staff, thereby enhancing teaching and learning of clinical nursing and promoting quality nursing care.

(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2008-12) Han, Yin Mar; Nursing Education Research
An action research was conducted to find out factors enhancing the effectiveness of practical demonstrative teaching of nursing procedures (DPT of NP) among the first year nursing students of University of Nursing, Yangon, 2004. Teaching staff and students participated in this study. Problem issues were explored by baseline study and theses factors were taken into consideration for change in teaching methods. Therefore, participatory Learning Action (PLA) method was chosen by a series of meeting with researcher, teachers and students. A total of ten students were selected according to set criteria. An appropriate plan for teaching was then developed. All students in the class were divided into three groups, to include three or four selected students in each group. The selected students have to attend in the group while teaching staff demonstrated NP. After demonstration by three teachers the selected students divided into subgroups respectively in which they performed as demonstrators and led the discussion. The research instrument Allgood's score card (modified) was developed for them as guide lines for demonstration. Thirty students were randomly selected for in-depth interviewing on their opinion on the practical demonstration led by the selected students. Post intervention performance ability testing of NP was undertaken by using a checklist. Then pre and post test performance was compared. Students could see and hear clearly what one demonstrates. Most students got the chance of demonstration. One's difficulties could be eased by discussion among peers. Student's performance ability markedly improved from 33.3 to 64.6. Students' participation in demonstrative teaching is a valuable teaching method.

(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2008-12) Han, Yin Mar
An exploratory study on practical demonstrative teaching (PDT) of nursing procedures (NP) was undertaken to identify the problems faced by teaching staff and students in the skill laboratory of Department Fundamental Nursing, university of Nursing, Yangon in 2004. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used after pilot study. Three teaching staff and ten first-year nursing students were purposively selected for In-depth Interview for qualitative assessment of their feelings. Self-administered structured questionnaire, was used to determine experience of fifty randomly selected students. Performance ability test was undertaken among thirty students by checklist. It was found that teaching staff were not satisfied with the present teaching method. Feelings of students were disregarded so that it should have more chances for the students to practice properly in the skill laboratory. By doing so they would be more competent in performing clinical practice. There would be some issues both in clinical practice and examinations for students. It was found that mean score of student's performance was 33.3 which was less than the standard one i.e. 50. These findings would be applied as a baseline for further action research for the improvement of PDT of nursing procedures.

(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2007-06) Htay, Nyi Nyi
A from of qualitative research, hermeneutic phenomenological study, was conducted to explore the lived experiences of the people with AIDS (PWA) regarding nursing care. This leads to uncover the silent psychosocial health needs of PWA and phenomenological orientation of caring practice for the PWA. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with (7) PWA who were admitted to a Specialist Hospital in Yangon, and analysed by using Burnard's qualitative data analysis method. The analysis revealed that the life of PWA was filled with such experiences as 'being depressed,' 'being ashamed,' 'being fearful,' 'being discriminated,' 'being abandoned,' 'devaluing of self,' 'being worried,' and 'desire to have a dignified and peaceful death.' The PWA perceived the hospital where they are taking treatment as a 'benefactor for them' and expected to be given ‘palliative care' from nurses. However, they were confronted with such experiences as 'being cared with impatient manner,' 'being cared with delayed responses' and 'being cared with reluctance to touch.' The practice of caring is still emphasizing on task or medical oriented nursing care. The findings of the study highlight that nurses need to adopt more effective form of caring practice to men psychosocial and emotional needs of the PWA.

(University of Nursing, Yangon, 2007-06) Hlaing, Htay Htay
This study used a qualitative historical approach to describe the evolution of Myanmar nursing education, covering the history from 1921 to 1991. The nursing education history of Myanmar before 1948 was described briefly while the period between 1948 and 1991 was given more emphasis. The researcher had interviews with seventeen retired nurse-educators and nurse-administrators who helped greatly in uncovering issue about the past situation of nursing education in Myanmar. Records of rules and regulations, orders, certificates, photographs, memos and books also revealed details of past events in nursing education history. Interviews were conducted in their own house and tape recorded. Analysis of the transcriptions involved the coding process, categorization and labeling, of themes. Ten themes emerged from verbatim notes. The findings indicated that no proper training was given during the Second World War and the standard of professional nursing education was very low until 1948. The state examinations were started in 1948, according to the rules of Burma Nurses and Midwives Council. Previous nursing education system was started with institutionalized hospital base Teaching by syllabus has been existed for a long times. Public health nursing had been introduced since 1954 but it was not attractive to nurses. In 1977 the curricula of various nursing education programs were reviewed and revised in line with National Health Plan. The first Nurses Training Centre was opened in 1986 and upgraded to the Institute of Nursing in 1991 when Bachelor of Nursing Science (B. N. Sc) degree program was established. Thus nursing education becomes highly academic after 1986. Discussion was done based on results and findings of data transcription it is assumed that this study would offer a connection and a chronological narrative of events of nursing education in Myanmar. Finally, the research provided information about past events of the nursing education in Myanmar. This research also pointed out the need for further study about nursing education system after 1991.
