Introduction: Physical activity is a promising strategy to maintain the benefits gained after completing conventional pulmonary rehabilitation in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Proponents of tele-rehabilitation and physiotherapy see the use of communication and information technologies as a way to increase access and increase care continuity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is a systematic review of randomized clinical trial and randomized controlled trials to investigate the effect of tele-rehabilitation on improving the physical activity of patients with COPD.Method: A systematic review was conducted in randomized controlled clinical trial studies without time limit by searching for keywords in the title, abstract and study keywords in the valid scientific databases Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed on October 20, 2021. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)checklist; Studies with a score above 7 were analyzed. This study was conducted according to the Preferred reporting Items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis(PRISMA).Results: A total of 83 articles were identified after removing duplicates. After screening the full text of the articles, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were classified into two categories: randomized trial (6.10, 60%) and randomized clinical trial (4.10, 40%). Input studies included 979 participants. The duration of intervention in each study ranged from 8 weeks to 18 months. The technologies used included video conferencing (1.10, 10%), cloud-based platform (1.10, 10%), mobile application (1.10, 10%) and telephone calls (6.10, 60%). In (6.10, 60%) of the studies, tele-rehabilitation interventions had similar improvements in both control (face-to-face) and intervention (tele- technology) groups. However, in (4.10, 40%) of the studies, the intervention group reported a significant improvement compared to the control group.Conclusion: The results of the present systematic review showed that although in most studies tele-rehabilitation interventions have the same results as traditional interventions, a well-designed tele-rehabilitation program to improve the physical activity of patients with COPD can supplement or replace the program. It is a traditional rehabilitation and improves the patient's health.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者完成常规肺部康复后，身体活动是一种很有前景的策略，可维持其获益。远程康复和物理治疗的支持者认为，通信和信息技术的使用是增加可及性和提高护理连续性的一种方式。因此，本研究的目的是通过随机临床试验和随机对照试验的系统综述，探讨远程康复对改善COPD患者身体活动的影响。方法:于2021年10月20日在有效科学数据库Embase、Web of Science、Scopus、PubMed中检索标题、摘要、研究关键词，对随机对照临床试验研究进行无时间限制的系统评价。使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所(JBI)检查表评估研究的质量;对得分在7分以上的研究进行分析。本研究按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)进行。结果:剔除重复后共鉴定83篇。经全文筛选，10项研究符合纳入标准。研究分为两类:随机试验(6.10,60%)和随机临床试验(4.10,40%)。输入研究包括979名参与者。每项研究的干预时间从8周到18个月不等。使用的技术包括视频会议(1.10,10%)、云平台(1.10,10%)、移动应用(1.10,10%)和电话(6.10,60%)。在(6.10,60%)的研究中，远程康复干预在对照组(面对面)和干预组(远程技术)中都有类似的改善。然而，在(4.10,40%)的研究中，干预组与对照组相比有显著改善。结论:本系统综述的结果显示，尽管在大多数研究中远程康复干预与传统干预具有相同的结果，但设计良好的远程康复计划可以改善COPD患者的身体活动，以补充或取代该计划。这是一种传统的康复，可以改善病人的健康。

Introduction: Chronic respiratory diseases are one of the four main groups of non-communicable diseases. People with these diseases need access to data to manage their disease and care plan. Personal health record (PHR) as a powerful health information technology tool can empower chronic patients to better manage their health status and become an active member of health care teams. This study is to determine the minimum data set (MDS) in personal health record for patients with chronic respiratory diseases.Materials and Method: This present applied research was done descriptively by Delphi method. First, the data sets of chronic respiratory diseases were extracted using a literature review. Then, using a researcher-made questionnaire and based on Delphi technique in two phases, it was evaluated by 5 pulmonologists.Results: The PHR data set for chronic respiratory diseases was classified into six categories, including physical examination and clinical observation, laboratory data, medications, specialized treatments, diagnostic procedures and vaccination. The 33 data element were identified as the main data elements with an agreement of more than 80% in the first phase of Delphi technique. Also, in the second phase, the four data elements proposed by the experts in the first phase were agreed upon above 80%.Conclusion: Given the role of PHR data in tracking the progress of chronic diseases, treating, and teamwork by physicians and other care providers, determining the minimum data set will be an effective step toward integrating and improving information management in these patients.

Introduction: Documentation of medical records is the first and most important source of patient information collection. On the other hand, the correct registration of medical records is considered as one of the criteria of physicians' scientific skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was a systematic review to examine the status of tools and methods for evaluating the documentation of physicians in the emergency department.Material and Methods: This systematic review was performed in studies related to the evaluation of the documentation status of emergency department physicians. The studies were available from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Irandoc and SID databases by the end of 2020. Titles and abstracts were reviewed independently based on eligibility criteria. After that, the complete texts were retrieved and independently reviewed by two researchers based on eligibility criteria. A standardized form was used to extract the data including study title, first author name, years of study, place of study, number of samples, research method, tools, indicators studied and main findings.Results: A total of 4693 related studies were extracted from the database and finally 40 main articles were included in the study. In 4 cases, the level of documentation was reported to be incomplete and undesirable by examining the registered files; In the other 4 cases, they estimated the amount of documentation as moderate to favorable. In 2 cases, the effect of education and in 2 cases, the effect of feedback and encouragement on documentation were measured. None of the studies provided a comprehensive tool for evaluating physicians' documentation of emergencies; Evaluation patterns were different in each study and were partially reviewed.Conclusion: A review of research conducted in Iran and the world on documenting physicians, especially in the emergency department, emphasizes the importance of continuing the process of patients. Consequently, the consequences are the same for all stakeholders in the medical record. In addition, the effect of feedback and encouragement was more effective than training in improving documentation, so it is suggested that programs be applied for ongoing feedback to documentarians.
简介:病历文件是患者信息收集的第一个也是最重要的来源。另一方面，病历的正确登记被认为是医生科学技能的标准之一。因此，本研究的目的是对评估急诊科医生记录的工具和方法的现状进行系统回顾。材料和方法:本系统综述是在评估急诊科医生的文献状况的研究中进行的。到2020年底，这些研究可以从PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus、Irandoc和SID数据库中获得。根据资格标准对标题和摘要进行独立审查。之后，完整的文本被检索并由两名研究人员根据资格标准独立审查。采用标准化表格提取资料，包括研究题目、第一作者姓名、研究年限、研究地点、样本数量、研究方法、研究工具、研究指标和主要发现。结果:从数据库中共提取相关研究4693篇，最终纳入主要文献40篇。在4个案例中，通过检查已登记的档案，报告文件的水平不完整和不可取;在另外4个案例中，他们估计文件的数量是中等到有利的。其中2例为教育效果，2例为反馈和鼓励对文件的影响。没有一项研究提供了一个全面的工具来评估医生对紧急情况的记录;评估模式在每个研究中都是不同的，并进行了部分回顾。结论:对在伊朗和世界各地进行的关于记录医生，特别是在急诊科的医生的研究进行了回顾，强调了继续记录患者过程的重要性。因此，医疗记录的所有利益相关者的后果是相同的。此外，反馈和鼓励的效果比改进文档的培训更有效，因此建议应用程序对纪录片工作者进行持续反馈。

Introduction: Diagnosis of high-risk maternal pregnancy is one of the most important issues during pregnancy and can be of great help to pregnant mothers. Also, early diagnosis can reduce mortality and morbidity in mothers.Material and Methods: In this study, the data of 1014 pregnant mothers were used, which includes 272 people with high-risk pregnancies, 742 people with medium-risk and low-risk pregnancies. Also, the data include six independent variables. A combination of Bayesian belief network algorithms and particle optimization was used to predict pregnancy risk.Results: For validation, the data model was divided into two sets of training and testing based on the method of 30-70. Then the proposed model was designed by training data. Then the model for training and testing data was evaluated in terms of accuracy parameters 99.18 and 98.32% accuracy were obtained, respectively. It has also performed between 0.5 and 8% better than similar work in the past.Conclusion: In this study, a new model for designing Bayesian belief network was presented and it was found that this model can be useful for predicting maternal pregnancy risk.

Introduction: Problems facing the health information systems and the potential of cloud computing make the use of this technology as a priority for healthcare organizations to migrate to the cloud. The purpose of the present study is to introduce a migration framework for health information systems to the cloud.Material and Methods: This study is a Mix method research that was performed in the first stage to identify the relevant factors of a qualitative study until the initial design of the resulting framework was obtained and, in the second phase using the two-stage quantitative Delphi method the framework was evaluated.Results: The overall component of the proposed framework, which had 149 components consists of four layers of governmental, executive, organizational and technical three major groups of stakeholders in government, the service providers (CSPs) and the service consumers (CSCs).Conclusion: Cloud computing is a new issue in the health, and the cloud migration process is one of the cost-effective solutions for managing health information systems. Due to the lack of knowledge of health executives on cloud computing, they may not be able to make appropriate decisions on doing the migration. Thus, having a comprehensive framework in addition to enhancing the knowledge decision makers will help them make better decisions while at the same time planning a roadmap for successful migration.

Introduction: Dental caries and lesions are one of the most common dental diseases worldwide, affecting a high percentage of the world's population. Research has shown that more than 90% of adults have experienced tooth decay, so early detection of dental lesions in the early stages is a major aspect of maintaining dental health.Materials and Methods: In order to diagnose decayed teeth, first, the difference between decayed teeth and healthy teeth was discussed. By first calling the OPG images and removing the inappropriate margins of the image. Then the gray-scale image was converted to binary and after removing the noise, thresholding was performed. Then we found the location of the white spots in the black image and displayed the processed image on the user interface.Results: Computer image processing systems have been developed to be able to process and analyze images with better speed and accuracy. The proposed system has a good performance in diagnosing dental caries and the results show that the proposed system is reliable and optimal and as a clinical decision support system can help dentists in accurate and early diagnosis of dental caries at the initial level of caries.Conclusion: In this article, using the advancement of technology that has been formed in recent years, we were able to provide a solution to facilitate medical science. With the science of image processing, eye errors that may cause problems during the diagnosis and recording of the disease in the process of recovery are significantly reduced.

Introduction: Nurses play important roles in the Healthcare, responding to the care needs of patients with the ever-expanding Internet of Things Internet-based care programs. This is useful for patients to better self-care. The purpose of this systematic review is to explore nurses' experiences in using the Internet to care for patients.Material and Methods: This was a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis modeled on the Joanna Briggs Methodology. Pre-defined keywords were searched for in Google scholar, Medline, Pub med, CINAHL, and Internet of Science to locate studies published in the English language in no time limit until the end of 2019. Two reviewers independently screened articles for congruence with eligibility criteria, engaged in data extraction, and assessed quality of the included studies. Meta-aggregation was performed to synthesize the findings. A protocol was developed by two members of the review team prior to initiation of the study.Results: Six studies were included in the review, three qualitative researches, one grounded theory and two interpretive descriptive approaches. Three key themes were identified from the studies: Nurses and internet-based care plan; Patients and the internet-based care plan; challenge of the hospital in relation to the internet-based care plan.Conclusion: nurses provide care to patients during the process of illness. Internet-based nursing care plans have created to facilitate the treatment and care, and to helps patients in self-care. Nurses face many challenges and benefits in delivering internet-based care, yet they strive to do their best to provide better patient care using new technologies for patients.
