Abstract Frailty is a recession of age-related reserves caused by a variety of causes and is becoming the most important clinical syndrome that affects the health of the elderly. In the elderly, frailty and cognitive dysfunction often exist, and some people have proposed cognitive frailty. Cognitive frailty is an elderly syndrome that increases the risk of dementia, in the same time, and can independently predict the adverse health outcomes of the patient and affect the quality of the patient’s survival. This paper, under the guidance of Walker and Avant method, provides theoretical basis for early recognition and intervention of cognitive weakness in the elderly.

Abstract Objective To identify the level of dietary adherence for particular foods and determine which are challenging for patients with diabetes in Indonesia, as well as the associated factors. Methods This study was conducted in a primary health care facility, using a cross-sectional design. Diabetic patients who had received dietary education, agreed to participate, and adult age were invited. All patients with type 1, gestational, and other types of diabetes who did not join regular meetings of Prolanis and were reported moving or dying were excluded. The data collection used demographic and perceived dietary adherence questionnaires (PDAQs). Moreover, the height, weight, and blood glucose level were recorded. Data were analyzed using Pearson, point biserial correlation, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. Results The respondents were mostly female, married, and non-smoking with a mean age of 60.2 ± 8.48 years. Mean score for dietary adherence was 29.7 ± 8.85 with scores from the specific food groups between 0.72 ± 1.89 and 4.60 ± 2.30. The lower scores of adherence were identified on low-sugar foods, high-fiber foods, fish and foods with high omega-3, and olive/organic oils in cooking. Additionally, people living with diabetes for more than 10 years and not having any comorbidity showed a higher score of dietary adherence. Conclusions There were 4 groups of foods that had a low score of adherence. Accordingly, health care providers working in primary health care should be concerned about those 4 food groups during diabetes education and counseling. Public health workers should make more efforts to promote consumption of the healthy diet among patients with diabetes, particularly those who have had diabetes for less than 10 years and other comorbidities.

Abstract Objective This study was conducted to test the effect of transition on the quality of life (QOL) among Chinese children who underwent liver transplantation more than 5 years earlier. Methods We delivered the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 transplant module before and after “transition” intervention. Results In the first posttransition measurement (6 months after “transition”), the sections on “about my medicines I,” “my transplant and others,” “treatment anxiety,” “how do I look,” “communication,” and total score were significantly different from those of the pretransition stage ( P < 0.05). However, there was no significance in the QOL in the second posttransition measurement (1 year after “transition”; P > 0.05). Conclusions The short-term effect of transition was definite, while the long-term effect needs further evidence.

Abstract The provision of breast milk and breastfeeding is recommended for preterm infants. Multidisciplinary cooperation is required to promote breastfeeding. Nurses play important roles in breastfeeding preterm infants. First, nurses are strong advocates to help families be aware of the significance of breastfeeding. Second, nurses are educators providing technical and emotional support to pregnant and lying-in women. Third, nurses are coordinators in a multidisciplinary team. Nurses’ unawareness of the importance of breastfeeding, knowledge deficit, and unsupportive lactation policy are barriers to breastfeeding promotion for preterm infants. It is therefore suggested that hospital administrators provide appropriate breastfeeding policies, set up posts, and ensure nurses’ responsibilities in breastfeeding. Additionally, tailored training should be strengthened to improve nurses’ knowledge and skills and thereby enable them to fully exert their roles in the breastfeeding promotion of preterm infants.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the relationships between e-learning quality, student satisfaction, and learning outcomes and the mediating effect of student satisfaction. Methods A cross-sectional quantitative correlational study using a predictive design and multivariate analysis method was employed in this study. A sample of 241 nursing students were recruited through an online survey based on a stratified random sampling technique. The variance-based Partial Least Squares Structural Modeling analysis method was used to test the possible relationship and mediating effect among the variables. Results The findings revealed statistically significant relationships between e-learning quality, student satisfaction, and learning outcomes. A mediating effect of 37.2% is predicted for e-learning quality on learning outcomes through student satisfaction. Conclusions This study emphasizes the learning needs of working nurses and the impact on their learning outcomes in e-learning nursing undergraduate programs. Advances in e-learning education have assisted nurses to be more self-sufficient in their pursuit of lifelong learning.

Abstract Objective Cancer has one of the highest disease mortality rates. Families are very important in the treatment of people with cancer. By using a phenomenological design, this study aimed to explore the experience of families in caring for a person with cancer and to identify the needs of these families. Methods First, eight interviews were undertaken with family members selected through a purposive sampling method. Then, another three interviews were conducted for data validation. The collected data were analyzed using the framework method of analysis. Results The core theme, “Prioritizing the efforts: Being aware of the best we could do for our family,” reflected family’s experiences of caring for a person with cancer and was underpinned by five themes: “Decisions to make,” “Keeping up the good support,” “Acknowledging the others’ contributions,” “Assisting my family to alleviate the disease,” and “Adapting to the current situation.” Conclusions The results suggest that building mutual trust and communication between family and healthcare professionals is vital in decision-making for people with cancer. Family may also work with the person in fulfilling their needs, without disregarding the needs of the family. When supporting the needs of people with diabetes, the family requires appropriate information, and thus, healthcare professionals wisely select which information can help the family make a decision regarding the treatment. After administering the treatment and providing information for people with cancer and their family, asking for feedback is required for evaluation.

Abstract Objective To determine and compare the abilities of ShotBlocker and cryotherapy for reducing pain and anxiety associated with subcutaneous injections. Subcutaneous injection has been used excessively for continuous, low-dose administration of drugs. Considering that these drugs may require prolonged administration, new devices and methods of injection are needed to decrease pain and anxiety associated with repeated drug injections. Methods A quasi-experimental study design on a purposive sample of 54 patients comprised of both sexes has been utilized. The subjects were divided into 2 equal groups (group 1, ShotBlocker; group 2, cryotherapy), and 3 tools were used, namely the socio-demographic and medical data sheet, Verbal Descriptor Scale for measuring pain, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Results A significant reduction in pain and anxiety mean scores was observed after using cryotherapy and ShotBlocker techniques during subcutaneous injection. In addition, the ShotBlocker group exhibited significantly lower pain and anxiety mean scores compared with the cryotherapy group. Conclusions Our findings revealed that ShotBlocker and cryotherapy were effective non-pharmacological methods for reducing pain and anxiety levels associated with repeated subcutaneous injections.

Abstract Objective To observe whether the EarWell infant ear correction system makes any difference in terms of the treatment effect, duration, complication rate, and nursing care requirements in different types of infant auricle deformities. Methods A total of 93 infant patients with auricular deformity (age: <3 months of age) who were diagnosed and treated in Guangzhou Children and Women’s Medical Center from April 2018 to September 2020 were selected and treated with the EarWell infant ear correction system. We observed and recorded the effects of the EarWell infant ear correction system, the treatment duration, the number of rebound cases, and complications that are likely to occur during treatment, and noted the related factors causing complications and the relative requirements for nursing care. Results The Earwell infant ear correction system could effectively correct infant auricle deformities. Among the 93 cases, 90 cases had positive therapeutical outcome and the effective rate was 96.77%. The treatment duration for lop ear and protruding ear was longer than for other auricle deformities; the deformity recoil and the treatment compilation rates were much higher for these 2 deformity types, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions The treatment suggestion for the wearing duration of the EarWell infant ear correction system for lop ear and protruding ear is a prolonged duration compared with that for other infant auricle deformities. Further, the requirements for nursing care intensity and infant patient’s guardian’s nursing knowledge and skill are obviously increased for these 2 types of auricle deformities.
