Filter by:Oral diseases are most prevalent among children. Orphans children are one of the most vulnerable groups to diseases especially oral diseases. Knowledge toward oral cavity and oral hygiene measures is low among this group, leading to poor practice of oral hygiene measures, which outcomes to oral diseases. Implementation of health education program orphan children who are living in orphanages is important. the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of health education program on the knowledge and practice of orphan children. 80 children were enrolled in this study from different orphanages in Alexandria, Egypt. Knowledge and practice were evaluated before and after intervention using predesigned questionnaire, and oral hygiene was evaluated using simplified oral hygiene index
The main goal of this educational intervention study about patient's informational privacy (IP) is to evaluate the effect of the educational intervention into the paramedics' knowledge and attitude regarding patient's IP. The study also investigates the usability and the feasibility of the educational intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of the educational intervention on the 1. theoretical knowledge of paramedics' regarding IP? 2. the paramedics' attitude towards patient's IP? 2. What is the usability and feasibility of the intervention being evaluated according to the respondents?
High-alert medications are drugs that may lead to serious harm when they are wrongly administered to patients. Safe medication administration is the crucial role of nursing staff.
Background: First aid skills are clinical performance ability requiring a higher level of skills for new nurses. At present, the focus of first aid-related teaching materials and methods remain on books and physical courses. E-books have not yet been applied to first aid skills training for new nurses despite their advantage of making reading, learning, and reviewing available at any time. Objective: To assess the effect of receiving interactive first aid e-book interventions on new nurses in a medical center in southern Taiwan in respect of first aid knowledge, self-efficacy, and first aid skills. Methods: A two-group three-time repeated measures experimental design was adopted. 70 qualified new nurses were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group, each composed of 35 nurses. The experimental group received a one-hour e-book course plus one month of first aid e-book intervention and regular training, whereas the control group only received one month of regular training. Performance indicators included administering the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) on first aid skills, and questionnaires for knowledge and self-efficacy related to first aid skills. The experimental group received qualitative interviews and filled out the system usability scale one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test, chi-squared test, paired samples t-test, and generalized estimating equations (GEE).
Misconceptions about anesthesia and anesthetists in the health professional community may limit anesthetists' participation in their roles. These misconceptions affect the morals of anesthetists since their activity will be limited only to operation theater and the community at large, who did not get the desired care. Improving health professionals' awareness of anesthesia will make it easier for anesthetists to practice their full role and to develop a sense of validation by having their importance acknowledged. Moreover, society will gate the care offered by the anesthetist in different places of medical care.
This study aims to compare the results of online oral health education and conventional oral health education methods in terms of their effectiveness towards improving the knowledge and practice of oral hygiene in primary school children in Egypt. This study is done in two schools in Egypt, in 3rd and 4th grade respectfully. The classrooms in each grade will be randomly assigned to each of the two groups (online and conventional oral health education). A questionnaire that assesses knowledge and attitude towards self oral care will be administered by the primary investigator before and after the oral health education sessions. The pre and post questionnaires will be compared in terms of results to evaluate the effectiveness of both methods.
The research was designed in a randomized controlled experimental type in order to determine the effect of mobile application on students' knowledge levels and satisfaction levels about the prevention, treatment and care of pressure injuries. The population of the study conducted in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year consisted of students enrolled in the Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing course at a foundation university in Istanbul between March and June 2021 (N=78). The sample size was calculated with G power 3.1.9.4, based on similar studies, and it was calculated that at least 28 people should be included in each group, with the pre-acceptance of α error being 5%, research power (power) 80%, and an effect value of 0.77. Research data were collected using the "Structured Description Form", "Modified Pieper Pressure Wound Knowledge Test" and "Satisfaction Scale".
With the aging population, the prevalence of dementia is increasing dramatically. People living with dementia are highly dependent on family care partners, who may have little knowledge of the disorder. National and provincial guidelines have all highlighted the importance of online resources to improve care partner education; however, very few have been widely implemented or rigorously studied. The investigators have developed the award-winning dementia education platform to complement traditional patient and family educational approaches. It allows free access to multimedia e-learning lessons, live expert webinars, and email-based content that care partners can access any time, anywhere. In a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators propose to study 1) the feasibility and care partner acceptance of the intervention and some of the study methods, and 2) the impact of the intervention on care partner self-efficacy, knowledge, and sense of burden. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality, cost effectiveness, and efficiency of dementia care. The intervention could be easily scaled and spread both provincially and nationally to complement other dementia education methods, at a time when the prevalence of dementia is increasing and access to high quality internet-based interventions is essential.
Background and Aim: Pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an increasingly common procedure performed to investigate and diagnose problems in the GI tract in children. Procedures in pediatric endoscopy units are routinely performed under sedation and general anesthesia, unlike adult endoscopy. Nurses working in pediatric gastroenoscopy units where sedoanalgesia is applied have important duties and responsibilities in terms of quality standards in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Considering the increasing need for high-quality pediatric endoscopy applications, the attitudes and behaviors of nurses about sedation in pediatric patients are important as a member of the team. There is almost no literature on the experience and awareness of pediatric endoscopy nurses in clinical practice, and this encourages our team to conduct a survey across our country and to develop knowledge and clinical practices. With this questionnaire survey, it was aimed to evaluate the experience and attitudes of the endoscopy nurses working in the pediatric endoscopy unit in our country on sedation/general anesthesia management for pediatric patients
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of the WHO QR online training compared with a placebo intervention in improving the knowledge about human rights, the attitudes towards people with psychosocial disabilities, and the practices related to substitute-decision making and coercion among mental health professionals. Given the impact human rights violations have on the health of persons with psychosocial disabilities, an effort is needed to carry out methodologically strong research in this area. The study proposed will provide robust evidence to support further investment in interventions such as the WHO QualityRights training and make steps forward promoting the rights of people with psychosocial disabilities.
