Background: Patient falls from hospital beds are a major safety concern in hospitals, with bed ingress and egress alone responsible for most falls. Despite previous insights, no research has systematically assessed how bed height affects balance during ingress and egress.
Aims & objectives: Our study aimed to quantify individuals' balance during hospital bed ingress and egress at different heights by analyzing the components of ground reaction forces.
Methods: Based on the experiment conducted in a previous study, ground reaction forces were collected from twenty-four healthy adults during ingress and egress from a hospital bed at different heights. Component force vectors for each foot were evaluated, and data was statistically analyzed using a two-factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with follow-up post-hoc Tukey tests.
Results: Significant imbalance was found in the medial-lateral direction for both feet at all bed heights during ingress and egress trials. A more balanced approach between the two feet was observed for the longitudinal direction, with mid-range heights demonstrating more optimal ground reaction forces.
Conclusion: Our results revealed that individuals had better balance in the longitudinal direction for medium bed heights (51 to 66 cm) during ingress and egress. We provided further insights into the specific balance impairment during ingress and egress trials, indicating some left-right feet differences. In summary, medium bed heights (51 to 66 cm) resulted in the most stable balance with fewer differences between the right and left feet, suggesting that low and high bed heights may place patients at a higher risk of falling.

Background: Nurse leaders influence policy, change, and outcomes on the part of patients and junior nurses, and they are critical in resolving conflicts and in decision making. A clear understanding of whether high qualifications or experience impact more on a nurse’s leader’s outcomes is necessary. Aims: To examine whether an advanced practice registered nurse with higher qualifications is considered by themselves and by junior colleagues to have better position outcomes than one who is in the same job level but who has lesser experience and less qualifications. Methods: This review followed the methodological framework for systematic reviews described in the PRISMA statement and PRISMA checklist and the Cochrane Collaboration procedures to review quantitative studies published between 1t January 2015 and 31 December 2023. Results : This review included thirteen articles after screening articles from six different databases. The settings for the studies included a private hospital (n=1, Turkey), medical centers at University of California (n=1, USA), general hospital setup (n=3; Egypt, Taiwan, Ethiopia), trauma hospital (n=1; Iran) and clinics (n=2, Sweden, South Africa), ICU (3 Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Ethiopia). In terms of study designs, all the studies were interventional with five described as quasi-experimental studies (pre-test and post-test studies designs) and 8 Cross-sectional study design studies (completed through surveys questionnaire). Key findings highlighted the impact of nurse academic qualification and experience on position outcomes. Conclusion: Quality of nursing care is dependable on nurse staff qualification as nurses with higher academic qualifications have better position outcome than those with inferior qualifications.

Objectives: To comprehensively assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to fall prevention among nurses in multiple healthcare settings, emphasizing the crucial role of preventing falls in ensuring patient safety and well-being. Methods: A correlational cross-sectional design, involving the recruitment of participants through convenience sampling from sixteen government hospitals in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Data on nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding falls were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. The findings are reported using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The analysis included 295 participants. The knowledge scores ranged from 0 to 14, with a mean of 8.54, the attitude scores ranged from 19 to 54, with a mean of 39.50, and the practice score ranged from 25 to 65, with a mean of 57.02. Significant differences existed in knowledge scores among hospitals (p < .001), while attitude and practice scores were statistically significant for multiple factors, including gender, place of work, experience of falling accidents, and the fall prevention training (frequency, duration, source) (all p < .001). Conclusion: This study reveals that nurses generally possess moderate knowledge and positive attitudes towards fall prevention, with high reported adherence to preventive measures. However, variations among hospitals and the influence of factors like gender, workplace, experience with falls, and training characteristics emphasize the importance of tailored training programs to enhance patient safety.

Abstract To test the improvement in airway patency after mandibular advancement with functional appliances as a treatment for growing patients with skeletal Class II caused by mandibular retrognathism. Determining which functional mandibular advancement appliance has the greatest effect on the augmentation of the upper and lower pharyngeal airways. A series of measurements were made according to Arnett’s analysis in the lateral teleradiographies of the skull using the Nemoceph program to evaluate how the upper and lower airways are modified at sagittal level pre- and post-treatment, with different types of mandibular advancement appliances and in growing patients with age ranges from 8 to 15 years. There are statistically significant differences in craniometric points A, MCI and Pg in contrast to other studies with the same cephalometric analysis, where craniometric point B presented a greater increase of mm after advancement. There is an improvement in mandibular Class II skeletal malocclusion after the use of mandibular advancement appliances, and more changes are observed in the A, MCI and Pg points, confirming improvement in upper air patency.
