Abstract Objective To evaluate the improvement of dysphagia and the daily amounts of oral fluids served among people who had recently experienced a cerebrovascular stroke (CVS) after applying a nursing intervention protocol. Methods A quasi-experimental design was used to examine 60 stroke patients who were randomly and alternatively divided equally into a study group and a control group. Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) and fluid balance chart were used. Within the first 24 h of a patient’s admission, expert nurses were trained in nursing intervention protocol to manage dysphagia and daily oral fluids. Results Post-nursing intervention, the severity of dysphagia decreased among the study group more than in the control group. Additionally, the study group began taking greater amounts of fluids by the oral route than before the nursing intervention. Conclusions A standardized nursing intervention protocol is needed to decrease the severity of dysphagia after CVS and increase the amount of daily oral fluids. The presence of a structured theory-based nursing intervention protocol for dysphagia management will greatly contribute to decreasing the consequences of dysphagia after CVS, and can also be expected to attenuate the effects of aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition; further, it also increases adherence to the protocol by both nurses and patients.

Abstract Objectives Big data has revolutionized nursing and health care and raised concerns. This research aims to help nurses understand big data sets to provide better patient care. Methods This study used big data in nursing to improve patient care. Big data in nursing has sparked a global revolution and raised concerns, but few studies have focused on helping nurses understand big data to provide the best patient care. This systematic review was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate were used for 2010–2020 studies. Results The most common use of big data in nursing was investigated in eight papers between 2015 and 2018. All research showed improvements in patient outcomes and healthcare delivery when big data was used in the medical-surgical, emergency department, critical care unit, community, systems biology, and leadership applications. Big data is not taught to nurses. Conclusions Big data applications in nursing and health care improve early intervention and decision-making. Big data provides a comprehensive view of a patient’s status and social determinants of health, allowing treatment using all metaparadigms and avoiding a singular focus. Big data can help prepare nurses and improve patient outcomes by improving quality, safety, and outcomes.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the nurses’ perspectives on open family visitation and its barriers and facilitators in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A total of 113 nurses employed in 3 main NICUs of Tabriz participated in the study through the census sampling method. Nurses’ perspectives on open visitation and its facilitators and barriers were assessed and analyzed using the Beliefs and Attitudes toward Visitation in NICU Questionnaire (BAVNIQ) and descriptive and analytical statistics, respectively. Results Approximately 74% of the nurses who participating in the study had a moderate perspective on open visitation. From the nurses’ viewpoint, “Parents’ low awareness of sensitivity and hygienic principles of the NICU” was the first (90.3%) barrier, and the 2 factors, namely, “physical structure of the ward/lack of sufficient space” and “far distance between family’s residence and the hospital/having another child,” were the second (86.8%) barrier with an equal percentage. Among the facilitating factors, “Supporting employed parents during the neonate’s hospitalization” and “providing facilities for family accommodation in the hospital” were the first (82.3%) and the second (79.6%) facilitators, respectively, for open visitation. Conclusions The majority of NICU nurses had a moderate perspective on the family open visitation. This reluctance seems to be originated mainly from the factors inhibiting open visitation, making its implementation challenging for nurses. The perspective of the frontline staff in caring for vulnerable infants on facilitators and barriers to open visitation may help policymakers, managers, and relevant officials in decision-making and implementing new visiting policies in the NICUs.

Abstract Objectives To examine the association between social media addiction and sleep quality among undergraduate nursing students. Methods This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique was purposive sampling of 150 nursing students at a private university in Malang, Indonesia. Respondents filled out a questionnaire about self-identity, a sleep quality questionnaire from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and social media addiction from Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS). This was a bivariate analysis which was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation test. Results The results of this study reported that most nursing students were addicted to social media (76%). As for the parameter of the quality variable, most respondents had poor sleep quality, which were about 106 people (70.3%). The result of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation test obtained a P value of 0.000. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.358. Social media addiction (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 4.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.08–11.02), gender (adjusted OR 3.79, 95% CI = 1.58–9.12), and using social media for a long time (adjusted OR 4.21, 95% CI = 1.97–10.48) were associated with sleep quality. Conclusions We found that there is an association between social media addiction and sleep quality among nursing students. Furthermore, we might be educating nursing students to manage their time to improve their quality of sleep to avoid any health problems.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of family psychosocial intervention on the mental health and family function of caregivers of children with cancer. Methods A comprehensive literature search of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CMB, PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PsycARTICLES was conducted to retrieve randomized controlled trials of family psychosocial intervention from database inception until 19 September 2021. RevMan (version 5.4.1) was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 894 caregivers participated in 11 studies. The analysis showed that anxiety (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.37 to -0.07, P = 0.004) and depression (SMD = −0.33, 95% CI = −0.57 to -0.08, P = 0.01) were significantly reduced, while family function (SMD = −0.86, 95% CI = −1.28 to -0.45, P < 0.001) was significantly improved by the family psychosocial intervention compared with the controls. According to subgroup analysis, family psychosocial interventions were found to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms when the follow-up time was >1 month (SMD = −0.48, 95% CI = 0.68 to -0.27, P < 0.00001). Conclusions Current evidence supports the use of family psychological intervention to reduce depression and anxiety and improve family function. However, its effect on PTSD symptoms requires further study. Future studies should further identify the role of specific family psychosocial interventions on families and caregivers of children with cancer.
摘要目的评价家庭心理社会干预对癌症患儿照料者心理健康和家庭功能的影响。方法综合检索CNKI、万方、VIP、CMB、PubMed、Web of Science、MEDLINE、Embase、Cochrane Library和PsycARTICLES的文献，检索从数据库建立到2021年9月19日的家庭心理社会干预随机对照试验。RevMan（5.4.1版）用于分析数据。结果共有894名护理人员参与了11项研究。分析显示，焦虑（标准化平均差[SMD]=-0.22，95%置信区间[CI]=-0.37至-0.07，P=0.004）和抑郁（SMD=-0.33，95%CI=-0.57至-0.08，P=0.001）显著降低，与对照组相比，家庭心理社会干预显著改善了家庭功能（SMD=-0.86，95%CI=-1.28至-0.45，P<0.001）。根据亚组分析，当随访时间>1个月时，家庭心理社会干预可减少创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状（SMD=-0.48，95%CI=0.68至-0.27，P<0.00001）。结论目前的证据支持使用家庭心理干预来减少抑郁和焦虑，改善家庭功能。然而，它对创伤后应激障碍症状的影响还需要进一步研究。未来的研究应进一步确定特定的家庭心理社会干预措施对癌症儿童的家庭和照顾者的作用。

Abstract Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a kind of disease that can be seen in premature infants. It may cause a series of short- and long-term complications such as poor vision in premature infants, causing irreversible damage to them. Therefore, if we can prevent this disease, we can solve the above problems. This study summarized some factors that influence ROP, such as low gestational age, low birth weight, irrational oxygen use, anemia, blood transfusion, and thrombocytopenia; and also summarized a series of interventions that can prevent or delay the progression of ROP, such as reducing blood transfusion, the application of antenatal corticosteroids, and delaying clip umbilical cord, which can provide some reference for better clinical practice of preventing ROP.

Abstract Objective Faculty incivility is a growing problem in nursing schools that disrupts the learning process and affects nursing care of patients. Fostering and managing faculty incivility requires knowing this problem using a valid and reliable instrument. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire in the Iranian community. Methods In this methodological study, the participants involved were 357 nursing students. They were selected between October and December 2019. The faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire was evaluated in terms of content and construct validity. McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the construct validity of the questionnaire. Results The content validity index (CVI) was 0.86–0.91 for the items and 0.87 for the whole instrument. In factor analysis, two factors of violent and irresponsible behaviors were extracted. These factors explained >41.769% of the variance. Model fit indices (Parsimonious Comparative Fit Index [PCFI] = 0.783, Parsimonious Normed Fit Index [PNFI] = 0.756, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.051, Goodness-of-Fit Index [GFI] = 0.955, Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index [AGFI] = 0.932, Comparative Fit Index [CFI] = 0.955, χ2/df = 2.26) indicated the proportion of factors. Internal consistency was 0.87–0.93. Conclusions Faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool with two factors that can be used to evaluate the incivility in Iranian faculty members.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the relation between sleep quality and glycemic control among type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Across sectional descriptive design was used; the study sample including 125 diabetic patients was recruited at diabetic clinics in Zagazig University hospitals. The interview questionnaire sheet consists of 4 parts: (1) demographic data, (2) medical history, (3) an Arabic version of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and (4) glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) analysis test. Results: The mean of sleep duration was the highest score of PSQI components, 96.8% of diabetic patients had poor sleep quality, and 90.4% of diabetic patients had poor glycemic control. A highly statistically significant relationship was found between HbA1c and sleep quality. Moreover, income, duration of disease and smoking were independent positive predictors of HbA1c level, while the female gender was a statistically significant negative predictor. Additionally, female gender and income were statistically significant independent positive predictors of PSQI score. Conclusions: Poor sleep quality and poor glycemic control were very common among type 2 diabetic patients. There was a highly significant relation between sleep quality and glycemic control.

Abstract Family resilience is not the sum of the individual psychological resilience of each of the family members, but the family itself as a unit of resilience research. The representative models of family stress tolerance theory mainly include McCubbin’s series of family stress tolerance models and Walsh’s family stress tolerance framework, which are widely used in the practice of family therapy. In the future, empirical studies on family resilience should be strengthened, measurement tools with high reliability and validity should be established, and the combination of family resilience theory and community-based practice should be promoted.

Abstract Objectives: To examine the level of successful aging and the relationship between successful aging and activities of daily living (ADL), life satisfaction, social support, income, and self-efficacy among community-dwelling elderly in Wenzhou, China. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was applied. Subjects were community-dwelling elderly in 4 districts of Wenzhou, China. Simple random sampling was used to recruit 83 participants. All participants were screened using the Mini-Cog tool. Data were collected using 6 questionnaires such as a demographic questionnaire, the Successful Aging Inventory (SAI), the Barthel Index for ADL, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The results showed that 53% of the participants had a higher level of successful aging and 43.4% had a moderate level of successful aging with a mean score of 56.76 (standard deviation [SD] = 12.31). Factors such as elderly income (r = 0.73, P < 0.001) and self-efficacy (r = 0.72, P < 0.001) had high correlations with successful aging, whereas ADL (r = 0.67, P < 0.001), life satisfaction (r = 0.63, P < 0.001), and social support (r = 0.36, P < 0.001) had moderate correlations with successful aging. Conclusions: There was a significant positive correlation between successful aging and ADL, life satisfaction, social support, income, and self-efficacy among community-dwelling elderly in Wenzhou, China. The findings may guide the formulation of more effective health education and intervention measures to improve successful aging among the elderly.
摘要目的:探讨温州社区老年人的成功老龄化水平，以及成功老龄化与日常生活活动(ADL)、生活满意度、社会支持、收入和自我效能感的关系。方法:采用描述性相关设计。研究对象为中国温州市4个区社区居住的老年人。采用简单随机抽样方法，共招募83名参与者。使用Mini-Cog工具对所有参与者进行筛选。采用人口统计学问卷、成功老龄化量表(SAI)、Barthel ADL指数、生活满意度量表(SWLS)、社会支持评定量表(SSRS)和一般自我效能量表(GSES)等6份问卷进行数据收集。资料分析采用描述性统计和Pearson相关分析。结果:53%的参与者成功衰老程度较高，43.4%的参与者成功衰老程度中等，平均得分为56.76(标准差[SD] = 12.31)。老年人收入(r = 0.73, P < 0.001)、自我效能感(r = 0.72, P < 0.001)与老龄成功有高度相关，而生活自理能力(r = 0.67, P < 0.001)、生活满意度(r = 0.63, P < 0.001)、社会支持(r = 0.36, P < 0.001)与老龄成功有中度相关。结论:温州市社区居住老年人的ADL、生活满意度、社会支持、收入和自我效能感与成功老龄化存在显著正相关。研究结果可以指导制定更有效的健康教育和干预措施，以提高老年人的成功老龄化。
