Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers (HAPU) are serious clinical complications that can lead to increased length of stay, pain, infection, and, potentially, death. Unfortunately, a large proportion of home care clients received from hospital present with pressure ulcer that varies from stage 1 to stage 4. Home care nurses have an opportunity to manipulate favorably certain environmental factors that can prevent pressure ulcers from newly developing or to manage effective treatment plans for any stages ulcers which were present while onboarding.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, duration and outcome in terms of healing; worsening of pressure ulcers and the ones whose condition remained the same seeking home health services. The study also describes the home care nursing interventions done to minimize the risk of worsening of pressure ulcer.

Background: Breast cancer and cancer cervix contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates among women worldwide. Appropriate knowledge of both cancers can help in early detection and management. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effect of a hospital-based awareness program on the knowledge of patients attending some outpatient clinics in Sohag University Hospital regarding the 2 cancers. Subjects and Methods: The program was held in Sohag University Hospital on 150 female patients during the period between August and October 2018. The knowledge of the patients about the risk factors, symptoms, screening, and management of both cancers was first assessed using an interview questionnaire. Then, the awareness program included 4 sessions and every session discussed only 1 aspect of knowledge regarding both cancers. Later, patients were assessed again using the same questionnaire and the improvement was determined. Results: The mean age of the participating patients was 29.6 ± 6.7 years, 74.7% could read and write, and 85.3% were married. Only education was associated with better knowledge about breast cancer (p = 0.002) and cancer cervix (p = 0.007). Thanks to the program, the percent of patients with optimal knowledge of breast cancer improved from 14.7% to 50% (p < 0.001). This percent distributed as follows; risk factors 10% to 50% (p < 0.001), manifestations 20% to 60% (p < 0.001), screening 4% to 7% (р < 0.001), and management 24.8% to 63% (p < 0.001). Regarding cancer cervix, the improvement was as follows; total knowledge 13.3% to 46.2% (p < 0.001), risk factors 8% to 50% (p < 0.001), manifestations 12.2% to 50% (р < 0.001), screening 15% to 40% (р < 0.001), and management 18.2% to 44.8% (р < 0.001). Conclusion and Recommendations: Patients had suboptimal knowledge about breast cancer and cancer cervix. However, the program achieved remarkable successes in improving the knowledge of patients. Future programs on a wider scale and different populations should be considered.

Background: Patients on medical-surgical units such as orthopedic-neurology are vulnerable for delayed recognition of physiological deterioration. Therefore, they are at increased risk of incurring a resuscitation event. Volume-based nurse staffing does not consider the necessity of nursing care that is individualized to the patient needs. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to implement an acuity tool to evaluate the number of resuscitation event occurrences on an Orthopedic-Neurology Unit. Method: A quasi-experimental, non-randomized, quality improvement project was implemented on a 32-bed Orthopedic/Neurology Unit over a three-month period, comparing resuscitation event occurrences with the use of the acuity tool and the group’s performance without the acuity tool. Analysis: For data analysis, a Chi-square test-for-independence was used with a 2x2 contingency table, for variance of the number of patient resuscitation event occurrences with and without the use of the tool. Data were examined and combined for the three months before and after the use of the tool. When compared to the three months that the tool was employed, it yielded a 1% difference, with a 33% relative risk reduction. Results: Results indicated support for clinical significance. The use of the acuity tool demonstrated a significant decrease in the number of occurrences from 9 to 2 to 0 for each successive month of the project on the Orthopedic/Neurology Unit.

Background: Schwarz (1992) held that all people have personal values systems which guide them. However, the degree to which nursing staff can implement personal values in the workplace can vary depending on environment and institutional policy. This study examined the personal values of nursing staff and the gap between values and their implementation at work. Method: This was a quantitative descriptive study, using demographic information and a structured questionnaire, Schwartz's Shorter Value Survey (SSVS), for examining the degree of implementation of personal values in clinical practice. Results: 425 respondents from different faiths assigned higher importance to certain values than to others, with demographic factors influencing decisions. Conclusion and Implications: Knowledge of the dominant personal values held by nursing staff may contribute to the organization's ability to cultivate and maintain the human resources within it. Institutions should be aware of possible gaps between the importance of values and the degree of their implementation.

There are an estimated 1.05 million job postings across the United States for registered nurses by the year 2022. To answer for this demand, nursing programs across the nation are undertaking quality improvement initiatives to increase student success and graduation rates. Referencing Ausebel’s Assimilation Theory and motivated by the research question: Did the introduction of the active, flipped classroom make a difference in student success rates when compared to the student success rates in the traditional class room in a pharmacology course a retrospective data analysis was performed. The relationship between student success rates in the flipped classroom were compared to the relationship of student success rates in the traditional classroom based on the comprehensive final examination. There were 169 final examination scores extracted for data analysis 90 traditional classroom, 79 flipped classroom examination scores were extracted for data analysis. Independent t-tests were used to compare the means of the final examination scores in the traditional classroom to the means of the final examination scores in the flipped classroom. The findings of the research indicated there was no significant difference between the mean scores of the traditional classroom (M= 81.7, SD= 6.3) and the mean scores in the flipped classroom (M= 80.1, SD= 7.8, t(135)= 1.39, p= .15). Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that the flipped classroom can be utilized as an alternative method of instruction in the course as well as in other courses within the nursing program.

Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that the flipped classroom can be utilized as an alternative method of instruction in the course as well as in other courses within the nursing program.","PeriodicalId":93573,"journal":{"name":"International journal of studies in nursing","volume":"23 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88281284","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}
Stunting is a malnutrition condition that caused by long-term insufficient nutrient intake. In 2010, the number of stunting in Indonesia reached 42.38%. In 2013, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia amounted to 37.2%. The highest occurrence comes from East Nusa Tenggara with more than 50% of the children are stunted. The method used in this paper is Literature Review. We use keyword Risk Factor and Stunting in online resources such as Science Direct, Proquest, PubMed, Google Scholar and another related website. Many risk factors affect stunting in Indonesia. Stunting is caused by multi-dimensional factors and not only caused by malnutrition factors experienced by pregnant women and children under five. Some of the cases described above have contributed to the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia and therefore a comprehensive intervention plan is required to reduce stunting prevalence in Indonesia.
发育迟缓是由于长期营养摄入不足而引起的营养不良状况。2010年，印度尼西亚发育迟缓的比例达到42.38%。2013年，印度尼西亚发育迟缓患病率为37.2%。发病率最高的是东努沙登加拉，超过50%的儿童发育迟缓。本文采用的方法是Literature Review。我们在Science Direct, Proquest, PubMed, Google Scholar和其他相关网站等在线资源中使用关键字Risk Factor和stunt。许多风险因素影响印度尼西亚的发育迟缓。发育迟缓是由多方面因素造成的，而不仅仅是由孕妇和五岁以下儿童所经历的营养不良因素造成的。上述一些病例导致印度尼西亚发育迟缓的高发，因此需要制定一项全面的干预计划来降低印度尼西亚的发育迟缓发生率。
