Background: The high number of cases of COVID-19 has caused an increase in workload and a shortage of medical personnel in various countries, so volunteers are needed, such as health students. However, becoming a volunteer during a pandemic is influenced by motivational factors and barriers. Purpose: This study aims to identify the motivations and barriers of health students as COVID-19 volunteers. Methods: This study uses a systematic scoping review. A literature review was conducted using CINAHL, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The study was eligible for inclusion if it included articles published from 2020 to 2022, full-text, and primary studies. Studies were excluded if they were not in English. The keywords used in English were “health students OR nursing students OR medical students” AND “motivation OR willingness” AND “Barriers” AND “volunteer OR volunteering OR volunteerism OR voluntary” AND “COVID-19 OR covid-19 OR SARS-CoV-2 OR COVID-19 pandemic”. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) appraisal tool. Results: We found 12 articles showing motivational factors and barriers among health students volunteering to control COVID-19. Motivational factors include domain values, understanding, enhancement, career, incentive, government, social, and demographics. In contrast, barriers include fear, lack of training and knowledge, PPE shortage, unpreparedness and role uncertainty, and lack of interest, support, and protection. Conclusion: Our findings highlight that eight motivational factors and seven barriers influence health students’ involvement in COVID-19 volunteering. However, to optimize the potential of health students, further preparation is essential to ensure that students can volunteer effectively, such as integrating volunteer training programs into the curriculum in preparation for future pandemic mitigation.

The high number of nursing staff in Indonesia requires optimal management skills, one of which comes from the leadership domain. The succession planning program can be an option to prepare nurses who have leadership potential to carry out a management function. This study aims to identify the nurse succession planning model and its application in clinical practice. This study uses a narrative review of the literature approach. Article searches were carried out using electronic databases (PubMed and Science Direct). Researchers obtained 18 articles. Three main themes emerged: (1) the factors that influence the efficient implementation of succession planning, (2) the benefits of succession planning, and (3) the implementation of succession planning in clinical practice. Training and mentoring related to leadership, support from human resources, and adequate funding are the main factors in implementing effective succession planning. Succession planning also can help nurses find competent leaders. However, in its application in clinical practice, the process of recruitment and planning for nurse managers that occurs in the field is not optimal so that succession planning must exist and be integrated with organizational needs and provide guidance and assistance for the younger generation who will become leaders in the future.

Self-management is essential in preventing complications among patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The behaviourof patients to implement Diabetes Self-Management (DSM) is influenced by several factors which needsfurther study. This descriptive study aimed to identify factors contributing to DSM among patients with Type2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2). 94 respondents were recruited using randomized sampling obtained from aninpatient unit in one hospital in West Java province. Self-rating instruments were used to identify demographydata, knowledge about DSM, self-efficacy scale, and DSM questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was conductedto explain demography data, knowledge, self-efficacy and DSM. Findings indicated respondents demonstratedmoderate level of knowledge (M=7,53), and self-efficacy (M=34,8), and high level of DSM (M=89,28).Post-hoc analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between age (r=-0,209); p=0,043), education level(p=0,008), and self-efficacy (r=0,214; p= 0,038). No significant relationship was not identified with DSM(r=0,317; p=0,187). It is concluded that age, level of education, and self-efficacy were contributed to DSM.

The implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) represents a strategic effort to improve efficiency, accuracy, and coordination in healthcare services. However, the success of EMR adoption is strongly influenced by user acceptance, particularly among practitioner nurses and nurse managers who are directly involved in documentation processes and clinical decision-making. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) has been widely applied to understand the determinants of technology acceptance in various healthcare contexts, including hospitals. This scoping review aims to map the factors influencing EMR acceptance among practitioner nurses and nurse managers using the UTAUT framework. A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework and reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, EBSCOhost, and ScienceDirect using keywords related to “Electronic Medical Record”, “UTAUT”, and “nurses”. Eligible studies were analyzed thematically based on the four primary UTAUT constructs: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Ten eligible studies were included, with most studies treating nurses as a homogeneous group and only limited evidence differentiating practitioner nurses and nurse managers. The dominant factors influencing EMR acceptance included perceived usefulness for work performance, ease of system use, social support from leadership and peers, and the availability of organizational resources and training. Differences in perceptions were found between practitioner nurses and nurse managers, particularly regarding facilitating conditions and social influence. This scoping review identified performance expectancy, organizational support, and infrastructure readiness as key factors commonly reported in the literature in relation to nurses’ acceptance of EMR. Managerial strategies may focus on enhancing digital competencies, ensuring adequate technical support, and promoting active engagement of nursing personnel in the digitalization of clinical documentation.
