文摘Objectives:To compare the frequency of passing scores of nursing students participating in objective structured clinical examination(OSCE)by 4 methods of fixed score,Angoff,yes/no Angoff,and 3-level Angoff.The OSCE is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the competency of nursing students.To have a fair judgment in OSCE,it is important to determine the standard setting.Methods:In this descriptive-analytical study,which was conducted in 2022,the 7-station OSCE scores and the passing rates of students were compared based on fixed score,Angoff,yes/no Angoff,and the 3-level Angoff by a panel of experts.The research population included nursing teachers(n=13)and nursing students(n=65).Due to the small number of participants,the number of samples in each of these 2 groups was equal to the total number of people in the research population.Results:Findings revealed that of the 13 nursing teachers who participated in the study,the majority were female and had a master’s degree.Among the 65 students taking part in OSCE,the majority were males.Results showed that the passing rate varied depending on the type of OSCE station and the standard-setting methods used.Differences in some cases were statistically significant(P<0.001).Conclusions:Findings suggest that the frequency of passing can vary depending on the method used.It is advisable to consider the average score from multiple methods to accurately determine the passing rate and achieve a more accurate acceptance rate.
文摘This article summarizes the nursing experience with a patient who underwent resection of a lateral ventricle trigone meningioma via a contralateral interhemispheric approach.Key nursing measures included preoperative health education and psychological care,baseline neurological assessment,and comprehensive physiological preparation.Postoperative care focused on intensive vital sign monitoring and support,comprehensive neurological evaluation and early rehabilitation,as well as a proactive strategy for preventing secondary epilepsy and controlling intracranial infection.Through active treatment and systematic nursing care,the patient achieved an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 9.The successful implementation of these structured nursing interventions contributed to favorable postoperative outcomes,offering a valuable reference for the perioperative management of similar complex neurosurgical cases.
文摘BACKGROUND Appendicitis is a common acute abdominal pain disorder.Laparoscopic appendectomy,a commonly used modality,is associated with less trauma and faster recovery than traditional open appendectomy.However,postoperative recovery remains an important issue that affects rehabilitation quality and surgical results.AIM To explore the effects of rapid rehabilitation and surgical nursing care on gastrointestinal function recovery and sleep quality among patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.METHODS A total of 120 patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy at our hospital between January 2019 and March 2024 and for whom complete clinical data were available were selected.Patients were randomly assigned to two groups(n=60 each)using the random number table method.The control group received routine nursing care,while the experimental group received rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing care;all patients continued to receive nursing care until discharge.The recovery of gastrointestinal function,length of hospital stay,complications,Pittsburgh sleep quality index,and nursing satisfaction were compared between groups.RESULTS Following the implementation of effective nursing measures,the times to bowel sound recovery,first exhaust,first defecation,and first feeding were notably shorter in the study vs control group(P<0.05).Additionally,the duration of the first postoperative activity and the length of hospital stay were significantly shorter in the study vs control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the study group exhibited better sleep quality than the control group(P<0.05).The postoperative complication rate was significantly lower and the nursing satisfaction rate significantly higher in the study vs control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing interventions provided to patients after laparoscopic appendectomy can accelerate their postoperative recovery,reduce the occurrence of complications,and improve their sleep quality and nursing satisfaction.
文摘This study aims to clarify the conceptual characteristics of artifact utilization in nursing practice instruction. Five selected articles were analyzed using the concept analysis method by Walker and Avant. The attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the concept were extracted from the target literature. The analysis revealed two attributes (“connecting people to people” and “connecting people to objects”);two antecedents (“recognition of artifacts” and “selection of artifacts”);and two consequences (“designing a fulfilling learning environment” and “improving the quality of education”). The concept was defined as “promoting the utilization of artifacts by recognizing and selecting them, connecting people to people and people to objects, designing a fulfilling learning environment, and improving the quality of education”.
