ABSTRACTObjective To compare the survival and costs of native aortic valve replacement by open approach in two hospitals.Methods We analyzed 1,472 hospital discharges from two hospitals between 2017 and 2021.

【摘要】目的比较两家医院开放入路主动脉瓣置换术的生存率和费用。方法对2017 - 2021年两家医院1472例出院患者进行分析。术后平均住院时间和生存时间分别为30天、1年和5年。研究的变量包括性别、年龄、假体类型、复杂性、医院、瓣膜费用、干预日期、出院和出院(如果存在)。进行了双变量和多变量分析。结果两家医院的基线特征无显著差异。其中一家医院的生物假体(96%)和机械假体(11%)的平均单价较高(p1);这种较高的死亡率在多变量分析中没有达到统计学意义。在这两家医院,年龄越大,1年生存率越低(HR = 1.299 CI = 1.035-1.630), 5年生存率越低(HR = 1.228, 95%CI = 1.023-1.476)。在这三个时期,复杂性越高,存活率越低。结论:高成本的心脏主动脉瓣开窗术并不能带来更好的生存结果。医院对这些资源的管理还有改进的余地。关键词:心脏瓣膜假体心脏手术无缝线生物假体存活率成本分析披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。其他信息资金作者报告没有与本文所述工作相关的资金。关于供稿人的说明raquel Vázquez-MourelleRaquel Vázquez-Mourelle是西班牙加利西亚卫生局(Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS)的流行病学和公共卫生博士和医院管理副局长。Gonzalo Rivas- costa是西班牙加利西亚卫生局(Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS)医院管理服务的负责人。Eduardo Carracedo-MartínezEduardo Carracedo-Martínez是西班牙圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉医院(Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS)的流行病学和公共卫生博士和社区药剂师。Carmen Canedo Romero是西班牙加利西亚卫生局(Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS)医院护理管理方面的专业卫生人员(医生)。jos Antonio Bravo Ricoy是西班牙加利西亚卫生局(Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS)具有医院护理管理专业知识的卫生专业人员(医生)。

ABSTRACTIn recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) has been increasingly used to train healthcare professionals. However, certain aspects of its application, such as the relationship between VR environments, training, and Sense of Presence (SoP), have yet to be explored. SoP impacts learners’ performances in certain learning situations, whereas in others, it does not. This study aimed to investigate the impact of VR, including SoP, on immersive mass incident simulation performances. A cross-sectional study was performed by immersing 83 undergraduate students (ambulance attendants, student nurses, and medical students) in a VR simulation. Questionnaires were administered before, during, and after the simulation to assess variables impacting non-technical skills. The results revealed that SoP was not associated with performance (P = 0.66). However, performance was associated with the learners’ perceptions of the VR environment (P = 0.008). Therefore, the impact of environmental perception on performance should be considered, allowing instructors to promote optimal training in VR. Moreover, SoP may impact performance in certain types of learning, like emotional skills training. Thus, VR should be chosen as a simulation modality to encourage reflexivity through rapid feedback and learning skills in the affective domain.KEYWORDS: Numerical simulationaptitudedisaster medicineteachingeducation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) report that no funding was associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsSabrina ChevalierSabrina Chevalier, MSc, RN: Mrs Chevalier works as nurse in intensive care unit.

ABSTRACTProfessional nursing organizations (PNOs) contribute to improving the quality of nursing services while raising occupational awareness. This study aimed to describe the professional self-esteem levels of nurses and their experiences with PNOs membership. This study used a mixed methods design. A survey was administered to 453 participants, and focus group interviews were held with the participation of 30 nurses during the quantitative and qualitative phases. Data were collected using the ‘Professional Self-Esteem Scale’ and a ‘Semi-Structured Interview Form.’ Stepwise regression analysis and content analysis were utilized for data analysis. Interview data were analysed in two categories (perception of PNOs and membership in PNOs). The regression analysis revealed that opinions about the effectiveness of the activities of PNOs, the type of institution, the job position, and the type of the unit as the workplace acted on the professional self-esteem of nurses. Most nurses were not members of PNOs, and their professional self-esteem levels were moderate. Political awareness needs to be promoted; students need to be brought together with leaders of PNOs and nurse leaders; the increased focus should be enabled on concepts of leadership, policymaking, and the awareness of legal rights should be raised.KEYWORDS: Membershipmixed methodsnursingassociationsprofessional self-esteem AcknowledgementsAuthorship contribution: S.
