Abstract Objectives To examine the prevalence of and identify the predictive factors for elder mistreatment (EM) in Chinese migrant families. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 489 rural migrant elderly were recruited using multistage sampling technique from communities in Wenzhou city between June 2020 and October 2020. All participants completed the Mini-Cog, and then data were collected in a survey using the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire, Abuser's Dependency Scale, the Friendship Scale (FS), Intergenerational Ambivalence Scale, Filial Piety Index, the Assessment Tool of Domestic Elder Abuse, and a demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were carried out to analyze the data. Results The prevalences of physical mistreatment, psychological mistreatment, neglect, economic mistreatment, and social mistreatment among the migrant elderly were 1.23%, 20.65%, 22.50%, 0.61%, and 9.41%, respectively. Significant predictive factors were migrant elderlies’ mental health status (β = −0.118, P < 0.01), adult children's filial piety (FP) (β = −0.245, P < 0.001), and intergene rational ambivalence (β = 0.365, P < 0.001). Conclusions EM was common among the migrant elderly. Predictive factors for EM in Chinese migrant families were identified. The findings could be useful in developing nursing interventions to promote migrant elderlies’ mental health, uphold their children's FP, and harmonize intergenerational relationship to avoid EM.

Abstract Objective Nurse practitioners (NPs) have drawn significant attention recently and played a major role in healthcare. We aim to find the evaluation of NPs through published studies and then visualize the research status and hotspots in this field. Methods All data came from the Web of Science Core Collection, and the data were counted and entered into Excel 2016. The key documents nodes were excavated by analyzing the knowledge network map using CiteSpaceV software. In this study, these nodes of “author, country, institution, keyword, co-citation (referencecited-authorcited-journal), and grant” were harvested for analysis and comparison. Results A total of 4912 records, which were published between 2007 and 2018 and pertained to NPs, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC) from a diversity of languages. The total and the annual number of publications and citations of these continually increased over time. Most publications were in 2018 (618 records). This study involved 8241 authors located in 98 countries and 4557 institutions totally. The United States (2737 records) and the University of Michigan (90 records) dominated in publication frequency. There are 902 journals and 2449 articles with funding support that have been analyzed. Most articles were from JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association (1386, IF = 47.661), followed by the Journal of Advanced Nursing (1359, IF = 2.267), and The New England Journal of Medicine (1109, IF = 79.258). The reference “The Role of Nurse Practitioners in Reinventing Primary Care” was co-cited most frequently, which revealed it as the highest landmark article in NP. The top-ranked keyword was “Care,” other than “Nurse practitioner,” which has an ultra-high frequency. Some of the high-frequency keywords represent the significant direction of NPs. Conclusions NPs are at the crux of health-care delivery and play an important role in providing high-quality nursing. Publications on NPs in WoSCC have increased notably during the recent years, and have appeared in some journals that have a high impact factor. Research frontiers and developmental trends were revealed by the analysis in this study, which can be used to forecast future research developments in NPs and taken as a reference to choose the right directions by subsequent researchers who wish to use these results. However, the grant support from administration or research institutions is still in need of improvement and the scope of research in NPs should be broadened in the future.
摘要目的护士从业人员(NPs)近年来引起了人们的极大关注，并在医疗保健中发挥了重要作用。我们的目标是通过已发表的研究找到NPs的评价，从而可视化该领域的研究现状和热点。方法所有数据均来自Web of Science Core Collection，对数据进行统计并输入Excel 2016。利用CiteSpaceV软件对知识网络图谱进行分析，挖掘关键文献节点。本研究收集“作者、国家、机构、关键词、共被引(参考文献被引作者被引期刊)、授权”这些节点进行分析比较。结果从Web of Science Core Collection数据库(WoSCC)中检索到2007 - 2018年间发表的与np相关的4912条记录，涉及多种语言。随着时间的推移，这些出版物和引用的总数和年度数量不断增加。大多数出版物是在2018年(618份记录)。本研究共涉及来自98个国家和4557个机构的8241位作者。美国(2737份)和密歇根大学(90份)在出版频率上占主导地位。有902种期刊和2449篇论文被分析。大多数文章来自JAMA: The Journal of American Medical Association (1386, IF = 47.661)，其次是Journal of Advanced Nursing (1359, IF = 2.267)和The New England Journal of Medicine (1109, IF = 79.258)。参考文献“护士从业人员在重塑初级保健中的作用”被共同引用最多，这表明它是NP中最高的里程碑文章。排名第一的关键词是“护理”，而不是“执业护士”，后者的出现频率非常高。一些高频关键词代表了np的重要方向。结论NPs是卫生保健服务的核心，在提供高质量护理方面发挥着重要作用。近年来，wscc中关于NPs的出版物显著增加，并出现在一些具有高影响因子的期刊上。通过本研究的分析，揭示了研究前沿和发展趋势，可用于预测NPs未来的研究进展，并作为后续研究者希望利用这些结果选择正确方向的参考。但是，行政部门或研究机构提供的赠款支助仍有待改进，今后应扩大国家行动纲领的研究范围。

Abstract Objective This study evaluates the community-based intervention of chronic disease management (CDM) through the Integrated Non-Communicable Diseases Health Post (Posbindu-NCD) conducted by a community of health workers (CHWs) in Indonesia's rural areas. Methods A cohort retrospective study evaluated 577 participants from Posbindu-NCD in 7 public health centers (PHCs) in 2019. Activities of intervention of CDM for Posbindu-NCD was included, identified risk factors to NCDs, and provided counselling education and other follow-ups based on interviews and measurement results from the five Desk systems that recorded in a medical record as a form of the monthly activity report each the first month, the 6 months, and the 12th month. Results There were statistically significant differences for alcohol consumed and diabetes mellites (χ2 = 10.455; P = 0.001). There were significant differences on gender (χ2 = 3.963; P = 0.047), on ethnicity (χ2 = 19.873; P < 0.001), and hypertension. In addition, there were also significant differences on ethnicity (χ2 = 15.307; P < 0.001), vegetable consumption (χ2 = 4.435; P = 0.035), physical exercise (χ2 = 6.328; P = 0.012), and the current diseases of hypercholesterolemia of participants. Furthermore, the survival rate among patients who have overweight, abdominal overweight, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia increased among participants who regularly visited Posbindu-NCD compared with the non-regularly one. Conclusions The CDM program's community-based intervention through Posbindu-NCD conducted by CHWs improved survival rates in Indonesia's rural areas. Therefore, this program can be further developed in conducting CDM in the community with the active involvement of CHWs so that the community becomes active regularly in participating in Posbindu-NCD activities in rural areas of Indonesia.

Abstract Objective To explores the social support available to aged hypertensive male clients in a municipality in Ghana. Methods The inclusion criteria were as follows: age ≥60 years and are known hypertensive patients. Data were collected from 186 selected aged male hypertensive patients for 3 months. The questionnaire was self-developed and open-ended. The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Some of the variables were subjected to statistical tests and ranks in the order of importance to respondents. The enrolled respondents were allowed to participate in the study after their informed consent was obtained. It was evident that respondents do not obtain much support or help in taking care of their condition. Results The result revealed that the repondents has no support to help take care of their condition as evident by the responses in the study. The scores on average mean for some variables are (AM = 2.25, SD = 0.381) more than the test value of 2.50. Some of these supports were on feeding support (M = 3.97, SD = 0.278, n = 186), health support (M = 2.87, SD = 0.167, n = 186), and cleaning support (M = 2.59, SD = 0.868, n = 186). Supports such as clothing, socialization, medication, washing, transportation, and financial support were lacking. Conclusions Based on the finding that certain forms of support were lacking, the study concludes that steps undertaken by the government, community, religious bodies, and family toward improving these supports can be of immense help for aged male hypertensive patients living in the Ejura-Sekyedumase municipality.

Abstract Objective To explore the nurses’ behaviors regarding clinical alarms, analyze the related influencing factors, and provide rationales for alarm management. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in China. The self-made questionnaire of nurses’ clinical alarm-related knowledge, attitude, and behavior (NCAKAB) was used. Results The valid response rate was 98.66% (n = 2368). The average nurses’ clinical alarm-related behaviors (NCAB) score was 65.14 ± 7.95 (out of 85). The dimension scores of NCAB from high to low were alarm learning (4.02 ± 0.85, out of 5), alarm response (27.99 ± 3.64, out of 35), alarm setting (19.24 ± 3.88, out of 25), alarm recognition (7.63 ± 1.68, out of 10) and alarm notification (6.25 ± 1.84, out of 10). There were significant differences in alarm behavior scores between nurses of different ages (F = 4.619, P = 0.000), nursing stints (F = 9.564, P = 0.000), professional titles (F = 4.425, P = 0.004), departments (F = 9.166, P = 0.000), and hospital levels (t = 2.705, P = 0.007). The study showed that nurses’ total alarm behavior scores were positively correlated with the total alarm knowledge score (r = 0.267; P < 0.001) and the total alarm attitude score (r = 438; P < 0.001). Conclusions Nurses scored highest in alarm learning, followed by alarm response, alarm setting, alarm recognition, and alarm notification behavior. The factors that influenced alarm behavior included age, title, department, nursing stint, hospital level, professional title, alarm-related training, willingness to participate in alarm-related training, whether or not departments have improved alarm management over the last 3 years, and whether or not departments have formulated norms for alarm management. Nurses with higher scores for clinical alarm knowledge had higher correlating scores for alarm behavior; similarly, nurses with higher scores for clinical alarm attitude had higher scores for alarm-related behavior.
摘要目的了解护士对临床报警的行为，分析相关影响因素，为报警管理提供依据。方法采用横断面调查方法。采用自制的护士临床报警相关知识、态度和行为问卷(NCAKAB)。结果有效有效率为98.66% (n = 2368)。护士临床报警相关行为(NCAB)平均得分为65.14±7.95分(总分85分)。NCAB各维度得分从高到低依次为报警学习(4.02±0.85，满分5分)、报警反应(27.99±3.64，满分35分)、报警设置(19.24±3.88，满分25分)、报警识别(7.63±1.68，满分10分)、报警通知(6.25±1.84，满分10分)。不同年龄(F = 4.619, P = 0.000)、护理时间(F = 9.564, P = 0.000)、职称(F = 4.425, P = 0.004)、科室(F = 9.166, P = 0.000)、医院级别(t = 2.705, P = 0.007)护士的报警行为得分差异均有统计学意义。研究表明，护士总报警行为得分与总报警知识得分呈正相关(r = 0.267;P < 0.001)和总报警态度评分(r = 438;P < 0.001)。结论护士报警学习得分最高，其次为报警反应、报警设置、报警识别和报警通知行为。影响报警行为的因素包括年龄、职称、科室、护理年限、医院级别、职称、报警相关培训、参加报警相关培训的意愿、科室近3年是否完善了报警管理、科室是否制定了报警管理规范。临床报警知识得分越高的护士报警行为相关得分越高;同样，临床报警态度得分较高的护士，其报警相关行为得分也较高。

Abstract Objective In cardiovascular disease, a patient's anxiety and depression can increase cardiac rehabilitation duration and recovery. Lavender aromatherapy as a non-pharmacological intervention effective in other contexts may be an efficient intervention to alleviating anxiety and depression in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Methods In this study, 110 ACS patients were randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups. Inhalation of the lavender fragrance was prescribed for the intervention group and the drop of aromatic almond for the control group for 3 days. Results The first-day anxiety and depression were significantly different in the two groups at 1 h and 9 h after the intervention. The ’morning's difference before the intervention was not significant, but it was substantial 1 h after the intervention. On the third morning of the intervention, this difference was confirmed. Conclusions This study confirmed the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety and depression in ACS patients. This ‘study's results enable intensive care nurses to use aromatherapy with lavender oil as a non-pharmacological and cost-effective intervention to reduce their psychological tensions and increase patient satisfaction during hospitalization in the cardiac care units (CCU).

Results The first-day anxiety and depression were significantly different in the two groups at 1 h and 9 h after the intervention. The ’morning's difference before the intervention was not significant, but it was substantial 1 h after the intervention. On the third morning of the intervention, this difference was confirmed. Conclusions This study confirmed the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety and depression in ACS patients. This ‘study's results enable intensive care nurses to use aromatherapy with lavender oil as a non-pharmacological and cost-effective intervention to reduce their psychological tensions and increase patient satisfaction during hospitalization in the cardiac care units (CCU).","PeriodicalId":52206,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Nursing","volume":"9 1","pages":"233 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41536134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Objective The current systematic review aimed to assess the impact of smoking cessation counseling (SCC) on patients’ short- and long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The Cochrane guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review of Medline (PubMed), ScienceDirect, CINAHL Cochrane database, and Google Scholar for studies on the impact of SCC on AMI patients’ mortality. Results Five studies were found to meet the predefined inclusion criteria. Smoker patients were not routinely counseled to quit smoking during their post-AMI hospital stay. Studies showed a reduction in mortality among AMI patients’ who received SCC compared with patients who did not receive it. Conclusions SCC during hospitalization and after discharge is a simple and cost-effective intervention that improves AMI patients’ survival.

Abstract Objective Evaluating a staff's perception of safety culture is a critical factor in hospital management, and the knowledge of value and efficiency in hospitals is still inadequate. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of safety culture among medical staffs and determine priorities for clear and better management. Methods A cross-sectional survey of 595 medical staff members was conducted at 2 tertiary hospitals in Western China using a hospital survey on patient safety culture (HSOPSC) and its value and efficiency in the hospital. Results The dimensions with a disadvantaged positive response were nonpunitive response to error (44.6%) and staffing (42.0%). Five dimensions can explain 37.7% of the variation in the overall perception of patient safety, and handoffs and transitions are the most important dimensions (standardized coefficients 0.295). Conclusions Hospital managers should pay more attention to nonpunitive management and staffing. Handoffs and transitions are the most important areas of potential improvement in patient safety in hospitals.

Abstract Objective To determine the effects of the Self-Management Training Program on self-management behavior and blood pressure (BP) levels among elderly people with hypertension (HT). Methods This study was based on a quasi-experimental design using sampling groups composed of elderly residents of Pathum Thani Province with HT. Simple random sampling was applied to two sampling groups, an experimental group and a control group. However, the experimental group had been on the Self-Management Training Program based on the Creer concept. The Program's contents included small-group health-education sessions and the patients’ manual, Self-Management Training Skills for Self-Management Behavior. Small group discussions were held for self-reflection, to stimulate follow-up for self-management behavior training during home visits. The Self-Management Training Program was compared with programs involving the more usual care. Data were collected using the Self-Management Behavior for Hypertension Control Questionnaire and BP assessment tests. Data were analyzed using a descriptive statistic, chi-square test, pair t-test, repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and repeated-measures Analysis Covariance (ANCOVA). Results It was found that at 13 weeks after entering the program, the experimental group demonstrated a significantly lower systolic and diastolic BP with a baseline statistical significance (P < 0.005), and that at the 4th week and the 13th week, there was a decrease in BP in the experimental group. The experimental group also had above-baseline self-management behavior scores that were higher than in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Results from this study show that the Self-Management Program was useful for BP control and promoted sustainable self-management behavior.

Abstract Objective The study of effective factors on the quality of life (QoL), as an important criterion, in the outcome of new therapeutic and preventive strategies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been considered by researchers. To study the relationship between spiritual well-being and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and some related factors in patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ([AIDS]/HIV). Methods In this cross-sectional study, 224 people were selected as the study population (112 were male and 112 were female) from patients with AIDS/HIV at the Behavioral Counseling Center of Shiraz with available sampling method. The research tool was Palutzian & Ellison well-being scale and QoL Questionnaire (SF-36). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test. Results There was a significant direct relationship between physical function dimensions (P = 0.003). There was a significant relationship between general well-being, mental well-being, and total spiritual well-being (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of QoL and spiritual well-being with some age section of the patients, and their occupation and education (P < 0.001). Conclusions Spirituality has an impact on the QoL dimensions. Therefore, HIV positive people's quality of life could be improved by the possibility of the spiritual well-being promotion as a method of adaptation with the disease.
