RESUMO

PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the nursing process linkages formed by Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) according to the primary NANDA-I diagnoses by registered nurses (RNs), customized to nursing home (NH) residents in Korea, using a developed smartphone application for NH RNs. METHODS: This is a retrospective descriptive study. Applying quota sampling, a total of 51 NHs from all operating 686 NHs hiring RNs participated in this study. Data were collected from June 21 to July 30, 2022. Data on NANDA-I, NIC, NOC (NNN) of nurses applied to the NH residents were collected through a developed smartphone application. The application consists of general organization and residents' characteristics, NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC. RNs selected randomly up to 10 residents and NANDA-I with risk factors and related factors over the past 7 days, followed by all applied interventions out of 82 NIC. RNs then evaluated residents through 79 selected NOC. RESULTS: We found the frequently used NANDA-I diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classifications and Nursing Outcomes and Classifications applied for NH residents by RNs and developed the top five NOC linkages used to build care plan. CONCLUSION: It is time to pursue high-level evidence and reply to the questions raised in NH practice using NNN with high technology. The outcomes for patients and nursing staff are improved by the continuity of care made possible by uniform language. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: NNN linkages should be used to construct and utilize the coding system of electronic health records or electronic medical records in Korean long-term care facilities.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Developing nursing plans using standardized taxonomy offers for a better understanding of how nursing abilities affect the achievement of better levels of outcomes for NH residents. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an educational video on standardized nursing languages (SNLs) developed for nursing home nurses. METHODS: We used a single group pre-post study design. We collected presurvey data from April 25 to June 22, 2022 and postsurvey data from May 23 to July 18, 2022. Sixteen nursing homes (NHs) participated in this study. We collected data on nurses' knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes towards SNLs and the evidence-based nursing practice self-efficacy. Analysis was conducted utilizing the McNemar test. RESULTS: The educational video about standardized nursing languages were provided to 31 registered nurses (RNs) from 16 NHs in Korea. Knowledge about the definition of SNLs and the benefits of their utilization improved after watching educational video. CONCLUSIONS: Study findings support the effectiveness of educational videos on SNLs in increasing knowledge of SNLs, as well as confidence in the profession. To support NH nurses' professional development, ongoing SNL-focused education and research on innovative training methods like videos are recommended. IMPLICATION FOR AN INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE: Developing nursing plans using a common, standardized taxonomy offers a good chance to more clearly observe how nursing abilities affect the achievement of better levels of health and wellbeing. Education using audiovisual materials may help NH RNs learn how to utilize SNLs and may further enhance the development of SNL through periodic, long-term education and SNL-based nursing practice.

RESUMO

Despite everyone's best intentions, RPP-produced research may still fall short of being responsive to the needs of practice partners. The COVID-19 pandemic arguably magnified the demand for research to help education leaders make informed decisions in unprecedented ways. Were RPPs able to be responsive to practice-side partners in their time of need? We draw upon data collected as part of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships' (NNERPP) annual reports to explore this question. Our findings suggest an increase in design-based projects, in addition to increases in quick-turnaround research syntheses in order to accommodate partner needs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Early intervention to reduce the impact of adverse events (AEs) may improve patients' quality of life and enable optimal treatment duration. METHODS: This nationwide, multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, 1-year observational study investigated patients' self-management of AEs associated with targeted therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and explored corresponding outcomes, including treatment duration and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). RESULTS: We enrolled 77 advanced RCC patients (mean age 62 years) treated with a first targeted therapy. 210 cases of seven AEs of interest (fatigue, hand-foot syndrome, oral mucosal inflammation, diarrhea, gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertension, and anorexia) were observed. Most AEs were mild to moderate. Overall, 63.4% of patients were identified as managing their AEs well, reporting numerically longer treatment duration and significantly higher PRO scores than patients identified as poor managers. CONCLUSIONS: Longer treatment duration and improved PROs were observed when advanced RCC patients managed targeted therapy-associated AEs well. Repeated education for consolidating AE self-management could be considered to enhance overall treatment outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of fall likelihood is advantageous for instituting fall prevention program in rehabilitation facilities. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the clinical measures, which can predict the risk of fall events in a rehabilitation hospital. METHODS: Medical records of 166 patients (114 males and 52 females) who were hospitalized in an adult inpatient unit of a rehabilitation hospital were retrospectively analyzed for this study. As predictor variables for assessing fall risk, demographic data and the following measurements were selectively collected from patient's medical records: Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment-Ambulation (POMA-G), Timed Up and Go test (TUG), 10 m walk test, 2 min walk test, Korean version Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (KMBI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), and Morse Fall Scale (Morse FS). RESULTS: The Morse FS, TUG, and age were found to be risk factors for the classification of faller and non-faller groups. CONCLUSION: This study suggests Morse FS, TUG, and age in the routine initial assessment upon admission in a rehabilitation setting, as key variables for screening the risk of fall. Additionally, the cutoff scores of Morse FS and TUG were observed to be more rigid than other clinical settings.

RESUMO

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote functional recoveries in pathological experimental models of the central nervous system and are currently being tested in clinical trials for neurological disorders. However, no studies have examined the various roles of embryonic stem cell derived (ES)-MSCs in eliciting therapeutic effects for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of ES-MSCs in cellular and animal models of AD, as well as the safety of the intra-arterial administration of ES-MSCs in an AD animal model. ES-MSCs displayed higher cell viability than that of bone marrow (BM)-MSCs in amyloid-ß (Aß)-induced cellular models. Moreover, the efficacy of autophagy induction in ES-MSCs was comparable to that of BM-MSCs; however, intracellular Aß levels were more significantly reduced in ES-MSCs than in BM-MSCs. In a rat model of AD, ES-MSCs significantly inhibited Aß-induced cell death in the hippocampus and promoted autophagolysosomal clearance of Aß, which was concomitantly followed by decreased levels of Aß in the hippocampus. Furthermore, ES-MSC treatment in Aß-treated rats featured a higher memory performance than that of rats injected solely with Aß. Finally, intra-arterial administration of an appropriate cell density of ES-MSCs was safe and free from in situ occlusion or cerebral ischemia. These data support the therapeutic potential of ES-MSCs and clinical applications of the intra-arterial route of ES-MSC administration in AD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although Asian people are known to have lower bone mass than that of Caucasians, little is known about coffee-associated bone health in Asian. This study aimed to assess the relationship between coffee consumption and bone mineral density (BMD) in Korean premenopausal women. METHODS: Data were obtained from the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2009. The study population consisted of 1,761 Korean premenopausal women (mean age 36 years) who were measured for lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD and who completed a standardized questionnaire about coffee intake frequency. We excluded the participants who took hormone replacement therapy or medication for osteoporosis. The cross-sectional relationship between coffee consumption and impaired bone health (osteopenia or osteoporosis) was investigated by bone densitometry. RESULTS: Coffee consumption showed no significant association with BMD of either femoral neck or lumbar spine, independent of other factors. The adjusted odds ratios for BMD for those who consumed once in a day, twice a day and three times a day were 0.94 (0.70-1.26), 0.93 (0.67-1.28), and 1.02 (0.69-1.50), respectively (P for trend = 0.927). CONCLUSION: This study does not support the idea that coffee is a risk factor for impaired bone health in Korean premenopausal women.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively investigate the long-term effects of botulinum toxin treatment on the upper limb function and performance of school age children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy, who have limitations in performing activities of daily living and school activities, due to spasticity of the upper extremities. METHODS: Botulinum type A toxin (BoNT-A) was injected into 24 spastic upper limbs of 15 children. We used a Modified Ashworth Scale and a Modified Tardieu Scale for the evaluation of upper limb spasticity, and Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and Test of Visual-Motor Skills-Revised (TVMS-R) for the evaluation of upper limb function and performance. RESULTS: Upper limb spasticity continuously decreased until the end of the one-year follow-up. Upper limb function on QUEST and COPM showed the best performance at 3 months and deteriorated slightly, but still showed a significantly better performance at 9 and 12 months than at pre-injection. In more functional nine subjects who could perform TVMS-R, the performance enhancement effects remained constant after 12 months, suggesting that the reduced spasticity led to the learning effect acquired by the repeated use of the affected upper limb. CONCLUSION: For school age children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy whose upper limb functions are important, BoNT-A injections seem to be of help in the performance of school activities and activities of daily living.

RESUMO

Interesterification of a 60:40 (wt/wt) mixture of olive oil and fully hydrogenated canola oil was carried out in a batch reactor using a commercial immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginose as a biocatalyst. The effects of a stepwise change of temperature on the degree of conversion, the solid fat content (SFC) of the products, and the residual activity of the enzyme were investigated. As a reference condition, an interesterification trial was conducted at a constant temperature of 70 degrees C for 48 h. For trials in which a temperature of 70 degrees C was used for the first 4 h of reaction and a temperature of 60 degrees C was employed for the following 44 h, there were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in the overall degree of conversion relative to the reference condition. Oils interesterified for only 1 or 2 h at 70 degrees C had melting points higher than 60 degrees C, whereas an oil produced by interesterification at 70 degrees C for only 4 h had a melting point of 58 degrees C. There was little difference (p < 0.05) between the SFC profiles of the interesterification products prepared by two different temperature protocols (70 degrees C for 24 h; 70 degrees C for 4 h followed by 60 degrees C for 20 h). Use of the protocol involving a step decrease in temperature significantly decreased catalyst deactivation effects, thereby increasing the residual activity of the immobilized lipase.
