Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Indiana University (IU) South Bend nursing faculty created a virtual clinical day that included synchronous and asynchronous experiences to replace 50% of traditional clinical hours in a 1:1 exchange to realistically imitate an in-person clinical day. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate existing outcome data to support the replacement of a traditional clinical experience with a virtual clinical experience as a valid pedagogical strategy to meet clinical student learning outcomes. Methods: Descriptive statistics were used to measure mean values of evaluation data for students who participated in the virtual simulated clinical experience (VSCE). Additionally, aggregate final course grades were compared between the group of students who participated in the VSCE and those who did not. Results: When compared with a traditional clinical day, all respondents believed that the VSCE was equal to or better than the traditional clinical setting for promoting critical thinking and meeting course outcomes. Evaluation of final course grades in the corequisite didactic course demonstrated equal or better performance than students in the traditional clinical setting only. Conclusion: Even though this experiment resulted in a successful outcome, it is essential to continue with rigorous research to demonstrate the effectiveness of a virtual clinical experience as a substitute for face-to-face clinical or simulation hours.

Background: Repeat teen pregnancy among adolescents represents an important public health challenge worldwide as well as in the USA. Repeat teen pregnancy negatively impacts teen mother and the child, in enormous ways. It can cause emotional, psychological and educational challenges, as well as affect the life and opportunities of young mothers and their children. The children of teenage mothers are more likely to have lower school achievement and to drop out of high school, have more health problems, be incarcerated at some time during adolescence, give birth as a teenager, and face unemployment as a young adult.Understanding the levels of evidence of the interventions for adolescent repeat pregnancy can provide guidance to health practitioners and decision makers in selecting an intervention.The aim of this review is to assess the level of evidence of repeat pregnancy interventions conducted in the U.S. (United States) for possible integration into evidence-based practice.Methods: We focused on articles conducted in the U.S. and published between 1990 and 2021. We searched for articles in: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, EMBASE, Social Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index, Dissertations, Abstracts Online, PsycINFO, CINAHL, POPLINE, and the reference lists of articles.Research Question: ‘What are the levels of evidence for interventions for teen repeat pregnancy?’ Selection criteria: We included and evaluated any intervention that aimed to promote spacing of 2nd birth and reduced repeat teen pregnancies in adolescents ages 13 –19 years. Results: We retrieved fifty-two (52) primary repeat pregnancy intervention studies conducted in the U.S. from 1990 to 2021. Twenty-five (25) interventions met the inclusion criteria and were statistically significant. There were 12 randomized control studies that were statistically significant and met Level I evidence. Six (6) Quasi-experimental studies that were statistically significant and met Level II evidence. There were five (5) Cohort studies that were statistically significant, one prospective and four retrospective studies and met Level III evidence. Two descriptive studies of Level IV evidence.Conclusion: Interventions, can be categorized into: home visitation, peer support, school based and comprehensive interventions including contraceptive use. There were also disparities in the intervention follow-ups, components, study location, statistical analyses and persons conducting the intervention. These disparities, made it difficult to compare and contrast the different interventions. We were able to successfully assign Levels of evidence to each intervention. We identified Twelve (12) Level I; Six(6) Level II; five (5) Level III and two (2) Level IV.
背景:青少年重复怀孕是全世界以及美国面临的一个重要的公共卫生挑战。反复的青少年怀孕对青少年母亲和孩子产生了巨大的负面影响。它会造成情感、心理和教育方面的挑战，并影响年轻母亲及其子女的生活和机会。青少年母亲的子女更有可能学习成绩较低，高中辍学，有更多的健康问题，在青春期的某个时候被监禁，十几岁时生育，成年后面临失业。了解青少年重复怀孕干预措施的证据水平可以为卫生从业人员和决策者选择干预措施提供指导。本综述的目的是评估在美国进行的重复妊娠干预的证据水平，以便可能纳入循证实践。方法:我们关注的是1990年至2021年间在美国发表的文章。我们在Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Central)、PubMed、EMBASE、Social Science Citation Index、Science Citation Index、disserds、Abstracts Online、PsycINFO、CINAHL、POPLINE以及文章参考文献列表中检索文章。研究问题:“干预青少年重复怀孕的证据水平如何?”选择标准:我们纳入并评估了旨在促进13 -19岁青少年二胎生育间隔和减少重复怀孕的任何干预措施。结果:我们检索了1990年至2021年在美国进行的52项主要重复妊娠干预研究。25项干预符合纳入标准，具有统计学意义。有12项随机对照研究具有统计学意义并符合一级证据。六(6)准实验研究，具有统计学意义，符合二级证据。有5项队列研究具有统计学意义，1项前瞻性研究和4项回顾性研究符合III级证据。两项四级证据的描述性研究。结论:干预措施可分为家访、同伴支持、校本干预和包括避孕措施在内的综合干预。在干预随访、组成、研究地点、统计分析和进行干预的人员方面也存在差异。这些差异使得比较和对比不同的干预措施变得困难。我们能够成功地为每个干预分配证据水平。我们确定了12个I级;六(6)二级;五(5)级III，两(2)级IV。

Through the nursing of a patient with Vogt Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with nystagmus, the nursing experience was summarized to make the nursing staff more fully understand the nursing methods of the patient with Vogt Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. Through comprehensive risk assessment of the patient, nurses formulate solutions, carry out nursing intervention, establish the patient's confidence and improve the patient's consciousness of medication. There were no complications during hospitalization, and preventive medication was still used according to the doctor's advice after discharge. At present, glucocorticoid is still the main drug for the treatment of Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome. The early sufficient treatment effect is good. Nurses can improve the drug compliance of patients adhering to formal treatment through effective nursing intervention, which can effectively prevent complications and significantly reduce disease recurrence.

Objective: To explore the effect of nursing record sheet and operation registration form in daytime ophthalmic surgery. Methods: the nursing record sheet and operation registration form of daytime ophthalmic surgery were designed and used to evaluate the incidence of adverse events and the satisfaction of doctors in the operating room before and after use. Results: from January 2018 to June 2019, there were 15 adverse events caused by unclear handover, wrong record, wrong eye classification, wrong application of antibiotics and waiting for surgical consumables in ophthalmology due to nursing record, with an incidence of 3.71%;From July 2019 to December 2020, there were only 2 cases of ophthalmic defects caused by the record sheet, with an incidence of 0.42%;The difference was statistically significant(P=0.00095). When the daytime ophthalmic surgery nursing record sheet was not used from January 2018 to June 2019, the satisfaction of ophthalmic surgeons was 71%, and after using the daytime ophthalmic surgery nursing record sheet from July 2019 to December 2020, the satisfaction of ophthalmic surgeons increased to 96%. Conclusion the design of daytime ophthalmic surgery nursing record sheet is reasonable and convenient, which can effectively ensure the quality of daytime ophthalmic surgery nursing, improve work efficiency and improve job satisfaction of surgeons.

Introduction: The aging of China's population has further deepened, and according to the results of the seventh national census, the population aged 60 years and above in China was 264.02 million, accounting for 18.70% (China.2021).The rapid growth of the elderly population has led to an increase a geriatric orthopedic morbidity. The hip fracture is one of the common orthopedic diseases, which has posed a severe threat to the elderly's life and health (Yu, 2019).Purpose: In this study, we investigated the domestic and international literature, focusing on the analysis of DVT nursing prevention programs for elderly patients after hip arthroplasty, and proposed the current nursing research progress in preventing DVT to help elderly patients actively cope with DVT, improve the quality of life in later life, and make DVT a truly preventable disease.Method: Electronic searches using scholarly databases were employed and only significant articles that met the review objective were utilized.Findings: Currently, the main treatment option for hip fracture patients in clinical practice is surgery, and how to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is an important task in the postoperative care of elderly orthopedic patients (Li, 2016). Research studies have shown that all elderly patients are at a very high risk of DVT during hospitalization, but the current trend is that 50% of patients at high risk of thrombosis are still not actively and effectively prevented from developing thrombosis for various reasons.Conclusion: This disease, which has a high incidence, a high mortality rate, and is difficult to prevent, requires increased attention and necessitates exploration to derive effective nursing intervention programs and related nursing measures to prevent reduce the formation of DVT and alleviate suffering for patient (Xu, 2016).In this review, we summarized the main nursing methods for preventing deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities after hip fracture surgery in the elderly. Elderly patients are a special group of people, both physically and psychologically in a relatively fragile state, especially after the operation, so they need to be more careful in nursing work. In addition to general physical care, the care of their psychological state is also extremely important. This article describes in detail the physiological and psychological nursing interventions for patients, which can effectively guide and help medical staff to cope with the clinical care of such patients, and enable patients to better recover from surgery and trauma, and obtain a good prognosis.

Background: The Ik are minority group of people in Kaabong district, Uganda. They are the most marginalized. In addition, little is known about their perceived SRH needs and barriers to accessing SRH services.Objective: To determine perceived needs and barriers to accessing SRH services by the Ik community.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical design with analytical was used, both quantitative and qualitative (mixed methods). Data was collected using key informant interviews, focus group discussions and semi-structured questionnaires. Sample of 345 participants selected randomly and purposively. Qualitative analysis was thematic whereas Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) was for quantitative analysis.Results: Perceived SRH needs of the Ik were; limited access to SRH information, lack of protection from gender-based violence and lack of access to comprehensive safe motherhood programs. Access to SRH services was limited mainly by poverty, limited range of available RH services, long distances to health facilities, poor attitudes of health workers, culture, poor road networks and language barriers. Individual factors; period in marriage (p=0.047), number of sex partners (p=0.041), type of house structure one lived in (p=0.039), economic activity (p=0.009) were significantly associated with access of SRH services.Conclusion: SRH needs of the Ik community is still wanting

Background: Patient education is associated with reduced hospital readmission rates, lower patient anxiety, and improvement in quality of life. Although nursing students report feeling ill-prepared and less confident in educating their patients in clinical settings, few studies have assessed their perspectives on this topic.Method: This study explores the perceived challenges, obstacles, self-efficacy, and preparedness of undergraduate nursing students in providing patient education by collecting qualitative data through focus group discussions (FGDs).Results: Five major themes emerged from the FGDs: significance of patient education, nursing process in providing patient education, evolving sense of preparation, evolving sense of confidence, challenges/barriers to providing patient education. While all interviewed nursing students felt that patient education was a vital nursing responsibility, advanced students had more confidence and knowledge regarding this responsibility.Conclusion: Understanding the nursing student experience in patient education preparedness may aid nursing instructors in better tailoring nursing curricula and support to meet their students' needs.

Background: Traditional and complementary medicine is globally accepted and steadily gaining popularity among populations. The practices of conventional health care workers toward it vary from one country or setting to another. Limited literature exists on practices of health workers towards this form of medicine in low income settings especially in Africa where it is widely used with limited collaboration, integration and regulation.Purpose: To determine the prevalence and determinants of traditional and complementary medicine practices as well as health problems and reasons for its use among nurses and midwives in North Western Uganda.Materials & Methods: We used a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional design. Data was collected using self-administered structured questionnaires that were distributed to a sample of 300 nurses and midwives drawn from 6 hospitals. Descriptive statistics, chi squared and multiple binary logistic regression analysis were used for analysis.Results: Of all the respondents, 147 (54.9%) had personally ever used traditional and complementary medicine, 69 (25.7%) had personally used it in the past 12 months, 84 (31.3%) had ever recommended use of TCM. The most commonly used therapies were: herbalism (78.2%), traditional birth attendance (67.3%), nutritional supplements (67.3%), body massage (53.1%), spiritualism (24.5%), traditional dentistry (21.1%) and traditional bone setting (14.3%). Traditional and complementary medicine was mainly used for pain management (53.1%) followed by acute diseases (49.6%). The commonest reasons given for use were the fact that it is readily available, accessible and cheap. Chi square analysis showed statistically significant associations between TCM practices (personal use and recommendation to others) and respondents religion (p=0.046), location of hospital (p=0.002), presence of a family member who is a TCM provider (p=0.001), attendance of training on TCM in the years of work (p=0.001), provision of TCM as a business and duration of years served as a health professional (p=0.029).Conclusions: There is need to improve traditional and complementary medicine practices amongst nurses, midwives and other health care professionals. This will avert the negative/undesired effects in the community.
