Improvement of stroke care should be achieved through awareness of public, especially through high-risk group. Henceforth, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on improving awareness of high-risk people about stroke prevention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out this study, where a purposive sample of 80 adult patients at high risk for stroke were enrolled while they were attending the out-patient clinics of Zagazig University Hospitals for follow-up treatment;they were divided into two groups: case (40 patients) and control (40 patients). An interview questionnaire was used to assess patients’ knowledge regarding warning signs, risk factors, and immediate treatment;attitude;and their practice for prevention for stroke at pretest and posttest. Results: The study revealed the poor level of knowledge, bad level of preventive behavior, and negative attitude regarding stroke prevention at pre-intervention. However, after intervention, the high-risk people had fair level of knowledge with moderate practice for stroke prevention and positive attitude, with statistically significant difference between pre-post intervention and between the case and control groups. Conclusions: The study revealed that the nursing intervention seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of subjects regarding stroke prevention. This, in turn, implies that awareness of prevention of stroke and high-risk factor control could be important to reduce the burden of stroke in Egypt. Thus, further research on a larger scale is required to improve population knowledge and behavior for stroke prevention and control.展开更多

As the first stage of the research, using the interview guide created based on the background of discontinuation of treatment and symptomatic monitoring from 33 target literature sources, seven certified chronic heart failure nurses and 15 certified dementia nurses were given semi-structured interviews. Data obtained from the interviews was analyzed by qualitative induction. As a result, we obtained opinions/views on 8 situations namely, “cognitive function at hospitalization”, “characteristics at hospitalization, “characteristics when receiving examinations, procedures or treatment”, “characteristics of course of treatment”, “characteristics related to difficulties in grasping the symptoms of chronic heart failure and indices of deterioration”, “characteristics when using diuretics”, “characteristics concerning compliance with dietary restrictions” and “support required for discharge from hospital” concerning patients with declining cognitive function. In the future, it is necessary to prepare nursing protocols incorporating these contents for standardization of nursing.展开更多

This study aims to explore handwashing knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and self-reported compliance and to examine significant variables predicting compliance with handwashing practice among nursing students. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. Results found a statistically significant relationship between nursing students’ handwashing compliance and their handwashing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (r = 0.68, 0.65, 0.58, P β = 0.423, P = 0.000), followed by attitudes (β = 0.322, P = 0.000), and beliefs (β = 0.171, P = 0.027). Specific handwashing training courses integrated in nursing education curriculum are recommended. These courses need to consider nursing students’ handwashing attitudes and beliefs in conjunction with handwashing knowledge.展开更多

文摘Objective: Stroke is perceived as a serious illness although it is preventable, and lifestyle alterations can be made to reduce its risk. Improvement of stroke care should be achieved through awareness of public, especially through high-risk group. Henceforth, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on improving awareness of high-risk people about stroke prevention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out this study, where a purposive sample of 80 adult patients at high risk for stroke were enrolled while they were attending the out-patient clinics of Zagazig University Hospitals for follow-up treatment;they were divided into two groups: case (40 patients) and control (40 patients). An interview questionnaire was used to assess patients’ knowledge regarding warning signs, risk factors, and immediate treatment;attitude;and their practice for prevention for stroke at pretest and posttest. Results: The study revealed the poor level of knowledge, bad level of preventive behavior, and negative attitude regarding stroke prevention at pre-intervention. However, after intervention, the high-risk people had fair level of knowledge with moderate practice for stroke prevention and positive attitude, with statistically significant difference between pre-post intervention and between the case and control groups. Conclusions: The study revealed that the nursing intervention seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of subjects regarding stroke prevention. This, in turn, implies that awareness of prevention of stroke and high-risk factor control could be important to reduce the burden of stroke in Egypt. Thus, further research on a larger scale is required to improve population knowledge and behavior for stroke prevention and control.
文摘Objectives:This study was conducted to determine the effect of multidisciplinary nursing intervention(MNI)on interdialytic weight gain(IDWG)and quality of life(QoL)among chronic hemodialysis patients.Materials and Methods:Quantitative research approach with randomized-controlled,single-blind trial was conducted among 120 chronic hemodialysis patients in Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital Bhubaneswar,Odisha,India from February 2023 to February 2024.Participants were randomly assigned into the experimental group(n1=65)and control group(n2=55)by block randomization methods.The experimental group received the intervention phase up to the 6th week,along with the usual treatment,and the control group received only standard treatment up to the end of the study.After that,they received the diet chart plan and fluid distribution timetable.Results:Significant improvements were found in IDWG and QoL for the experimental group.The experimental group exhibited a sharp decline in weight gain within the group(F=20.05,P<0.001)between the group(F=13.02,P<0.001),interaction effects between the groups across the time point(F=5.67,P<0.005).Kidney disease QoL scores(KDQOL^(TM)36)increased from 49.38±9.56 to 58.63±6.04 in the experimental group,compared to an increase from 50.84±9.25 to 52.04±8.02 in the control group.Conclusion:This trial showed that MNIs significantly reduced IDWG and improved KDQOL^(TM)36 scores,with the experimental group outperforming the control,highlighting the intervention’s effectiveness.
文摘BACKGROUND Percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PNL)is the standard treatment for medium-sized and large kidney stones.Many potential complications of PNL may warrant hospital readmission(HR)after discharge,threatening patient safety and increasing the costs.AIM To estimate the rate of unplanned HR after PNL and identify its urological and nursing-related predictors.METHODS One hundred sixty-one patients were prospectively studied for HR after PNL from April 2022 to December 2022.The relevant urological and nursing-related characteristics of patients with and without unplanned HR after PNL were studied for association with HR,using univariate and multivariate analyses.Variables such as the demographic characteristics,comorbidities,laboratory and imaging characteristics,dietary status,operative time,number of kidney punctures,blood loss,urinary tract infections,and the receipt of instructions for catheter care and activities of daily living were included.A risk score was created.RESULTS The mean age of patients with HR(44.4±12.7 years)and without HR(43.9±12.6 years)was similar(P=0.847).The overall stone-free rate was 88.8%.The total complication rate was 32.3%(52 patients),and the highest grade was IIIa,according to the modified Clavein grading system,resulting in an HR rate of 22.4%.History of preoperative pyuria(P=0.001),hydronephrosis(P=0.001)and mean stone size(P=0.012),multiple renal punctures(P<0.001),double J stent(P=0.033),total operative time(P=0.001),intraoperative injury(P=0.011),postoperative urinary tract infection(P<0.001),and inadequate instructions for urethral catheter(P=0.001)and activity daily living(P=0.048)were significantly associated with HR after PNL.On multivariate analysis,only preoperative pyuria(P=0.004),intraoperative injury(P=0.001),and inadequate instructions on urethral catheter care(P=0.035)were associated with HR.The risk score of the independent predictors was 0-17;0-4(low risk),5-9(moderate risk),and 10-17(high risk).CONCLUSION The rate of unplanned HR after PNL was relatively high(22.4%).The presence of pus cells in the preoperative urine analysis,intraoperative injury,and receiving inadequate instructions on urethral catheter care were independent predictors of HR after PNL.Combined studying of the urological and nursing-related predictors may promote the implementation of enhanced recovery protocols after PNL.

文摘Objectives:Maker education is a dominant force in education reform and is viewed as a revolutionary way to learn.As innovative pedagogy is continuously explored in the field of nursing,the emerging role of maker education must be examined.This research aims to build a nursing bachelor education program based on maker education and to evaluate the effectiveness of this program.Methods:Forty volunteer junior students majoring in nursing from a college were the subjects for this quasi-experiment.The training program for nursing students based on maker education was developed and implemented as an additional class for a period of 12 weeks.Before and after the experiment,two measures including the"Williams Creative Scale"and"Current Status Questionnaire of Nursing Students'Learning"were adopted for investigation,and corresponding statistical methods were used for analysis.The degree of satisfaction with this training program was investigated after the experiment.Results:The average scores of creativity,learning interest,cooperative learning skill,scientific research ability,and information attainment of the nursing students after the implementation of maker education all improved.The differences in the above points before and after the experiment were all statistically significant(P<0.05).Most of the students expressed satisfaction with this training program(72.5%were very satisfied,15.0%were partially satisfied,and 12.5%were not satisfied).Conclusion:Implementing the training program based on maker education enhanced student creativity,learning interest,cooperative learning skill,scientific research ability,and information attainment.Comprehensive nursing talents were also cultivated.Our data suggested the importance of improving this program,adopting the method,and pursuing research in nursing education.
文摘The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of patients with decreased cognitive function undergoing treatment for acute exacerbation phase of chronic heart failure as a basic survey with a view to the standardization of nursing to prevent discontinuation of treatment of patients with declining cognitive function in the acute exacerbation phase of chronic heart failure. As the first stage of the research, using the interview guide created based on the background of discontinuation of treatment and symptomatic monitoring from 33 target literature sources, seven certified chronic heart failure nurses and 15 certified dementia nurses were given semi-structured interviews. Data obtained from the interviews was analyzed by qualitative induction. As a result, we obtained opinions/views on 8 situations namely, “cognitive function at hospitalization”, “characteristics at hospitalization, “characteristics when receiving examinations, procedures or treatment”, “characteristics of course of treatment”, “characteristics related to difficulties in grasping the symptoms of chronic heart failure and indices of deterioration”, “characteristics when using diuretics”, “characteristics concerning compliance with dietary restrictions” and “support required for discharge from hospital” concerning patients with declining cognitive function. In the future, it is necessary to prepare nursing protocols incorporating these contents for standardization of nursing.
文摘Nursing is known to be a stressful profession that can lead to physical and psychological health issues and behavioural problems.In oncology,workload among nurses is believed to be increasing in conjunction with rapidly increasing numbers of patients with cancer and staff shortages worldwide,therefore it is essential to sustain a quality oncology nurse workforce.Numerous studies have presented evidence on job strain,effects of coping strategies,and nurses'work performance within healthcare settings,but few have focused on oncology settings and none of these on nurses working in Saudi Arabia.The purpose of this review was to summarize empirical and theoretical evidence concerning job-related stressors in nurses,particularly oncology nurses,and the interrelationships among job strain,coping strategies,and work performance in this population.Search strategies identified studies published on studies in peer-reviewed journals from 2004 to 2016.Twenty-five nursing studies were found examining the relationships among the concepts of interest.Common job-related stressors among oncology nurses were high job demands,dealing with death/dying,lack of job control,and interpersonal conflicts at work.Job strain was found to be significantly linked to coping strategies,and negatively associated with work performance among nurses in general.There is no existing empirical evidence to support the relationship between coping strategies and work performance among oncology nurses.The present evidence is limited,and a considerable amount of research is required in the future to expand the oncology nursing literature.Research is needed to investigate job-related stressors and their effects on oncology nurses.
文摘Information regarding current status of handwashing knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and compliance with handwashing practice in nursing students in Jordan is limited. This study aims to explore handwashing knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and self-reported compliance and to examine significant variables predicting compliance with handwashing practice among nursing students. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. Results found a statistically significant relationship between nursing students’ handwashing compliance and their handwashing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (r = 0.68, 0.65, 0.58, P β = 0.423, P = 0.000), followed by attitudes (β = 0.322, P = 0.000), and beliefs (β = 0.171, P = 0.027). Specific handwashing training courses integrated in nursing education curriculum are recommended. These courses need to consider nursing students’ handwashing attitudes and beliefs in conjunction with handwashing knowledge.
文摘Purpose:This paper reports an analysis of the concept of patient outcomes.Methods:The Walker and Avant concept analysis approach was applied.Results:The attributes of patient outcomes include(1)patient functional status(maintained or improved),(2)patient safety(protected or unharmed),and(3)patient satisfaction(patient reporting of comfort and contentment).These attributes are influenced by the antecedents of individual patient characteristics and health problems,the structure of healthcare organizations and received health interventions.Additionally,patient outcomes do significantly impact the quality of nursing care,the cost of effective care and healthcare policy making formulation.Conclusion:Providing good nursing care to all patients is a central goal of nursing.Patient outcomes in nursing are primarily about the results for the patient receiving nursing care.This analysis provides nurses with a new perspective by helping them to understand all the components within the concept of patient outcomes.

文摘Objective The purpose of this study was to explore student perspectives of high-fidelity simulation.Methods A descriptive study with semi-structured focus group interviews was conducted in Macao.Twenty-one focus group interviews were held with 113 baccalaureate nursing students who had experienced 36-hour of simulation.Results Students perceived that simulation created a nonrisk learning environment,and was helpful in knowledge and skill enhancement and nurse role understanding.However,lack of realistic interactions in psychosocial responses made it difficult for students to relate simulation experience to real-working situations,and poor group contributions affected their learning.ConclusionInteracting with a human patient simulator does not replicate the experience of working with a live patient.Tutors need to come up with ideas about how to make scenarios more real and give more forthright responses to improve the realism of psychosocial responses during simulation.Students experienced uncertainty with clinical decision making and commented on the minimal contributions of some group members.Tutors should be prepared to provide students with substantial supports in developing their understanding of simulation and engaging in the learning process.
文摘Objectives:This study aimed to develop an empowerment model for burnout syndrome and quality of nursing work life(QNWL).Methods:This study adopted a mixed-method cross-sectional approach.The variables included structural empowerment,psychological empowerment,burnout syndrome and QNWL.The population consisted of nurses who have civil servant status in one of the regional hospitals in Indonesia.The participants were recruited using multi-stage sampling measures with 134 respondents.Data were collected using questionnaires,which were then analysed using partial least squares.A focus group discussion was conducted with nurses,chief nurses and the hospital management to identify strategic issues and compile recommendations.Results:Structural empowerment influenced psychological empowerment(path coefficient=0.440;t=6.222)and QNWL(path coefficient=0.345;t=4.789).Psychological empowerment influenced burnout syndrome(path coefficient=-0.371;t=4.303),and burnout syndrome influenced QNWL(path coefficient=-0.320;t=5.102).Structural empowerment increased QNWL by 39.7%.Conclusion:The development of a structural empowerment model by using the indicators of resources,support and information directly influenced the psychological empowerment of the sample of nurses.As an indicator of meaning,psychological empowerment decreased burnout syndrome.In turn,burnout syndrome,as the indicator of personal achievement,could affect the QNWL.Structural empowerment directly influenced the QNWL,particularly within the workplace context.Further studies must be conducted to analyse the effects of empowerment,leadership styles and customer satisfaction.
文摘Objective:The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and level of social media addiction among nursing students in the Faculty of Nursing,Cairo University.Materials and Methods:A descriptive cross‑sectional research design was conducted on samples of 340 students at the Faculty of Nursing,Cairo University.Data were collected through demographic background information sheet and Social Networking Addiction Scale.Results:All the students were addicted as 6.76%were severely addicted and 60.59%and 32.65%were moderately and mildly addicted,respectively.Significant relations were found between social media addiction and students’age(χ^(2)=11.331,P=0.003),educational level(χ^(2)=20.239,P=0.003),and grade point average(χ^(2)=19.378,P=0.013).Conclusion:Internet addiction was prevalent among all students but at different levels,so early screening of students for Internet addiction using the Internet Addiction Scale is important to provide early treatment and prevent hazards to health.
文摘Objective:In today’s world with sweeping changes,nurses are responsible for providing high-quality and cost-benefit care,which would almost be impossible unless they achieve their high professional status.To date,no precise and comprehensive definition of professionalism in nursing has been evidently proposed.In fact,many of the previously proposed definitions are either complicated or ambiguous.Moreover,there is no consensus in the literature on an exhaustive definition for“a professional nurse.”The present study aimed to illustrate the concept of professionalism in nursing and identify its defining characteristics.Methods:In this study,concept analysis was conducted using Whittemore et al.’s method for the integrated review.A comprehensive search of electronic,scientific databases including Eric,PubMed,Scopus,Web of Science,EBSCO,PsychoINFO,Embass,MagIran,IranDoc,SID,and IRANMEDEX was carried out using the keywords such as professionalism,professional behavior,nursing professionalism(NP),professional attribute,and nursing.Results:In the present study,a comprehensive search of 11 electronic databases retrieved 5738 articles.Then,2837 duplicate articles were removed by endnote(version 8).Based on a preliminary examination of the titles and abstracts as well as the inclusion and exclusion criteria,1517 articles were excluded.In addition,137 articles were removed for scientific reasons.Finally,52 articles in English and Persian were selected.Content analysis of the articles revealed four major themes,namely,individual prerequisite,professional prerequisite,appropriate structure,and socio-individual factors.Conclusions:Professionalism in nursing is a major,multidimensional concept according to the literature that included individual prerequisites,professional prerequisites,appropriate structures,and socio-individual factors.In fact,professionalism in nursing comprises a wide range of personal characteristics,self-regulation,professional values,striving to acquire and enhance professional expertise,professional interactions,social,professional,and legal responsibility,and creation of a sense of belonging,and professional development.
