Authors: Sun Weige , Cai Weixin , Zhang Ran
Published: July 2024

This study was based on the Kano model and rely on the Internet hospital to build a day surgery patient full-process nursing service platform. Based on the Internet hospital’s HIS system, nursing Yuanzhuo system, patient mobile terminal (WeChat) and other information systems. The platform was designed by following the WHO’s conceptual framework for developing a scaling-up strategy. It was tested and refined by a pilot in a hospital in China. The full-process care platform for day surgery patients realizes information interconnection and interoperability of patient surgical consultation, surgical inquiries, and postoperative follow-up. It consists of a WeChat applet (client) and an online website (server). Pre-experiment results show that patients are more likely to recommend the hospital’s day surgery to others. The mHealth-based perioperative full-process nursing service platform for day surgery patients can initially meet the health education needs, surgical consultation needs and follow-up needs of day surgery patients.

Authors: Carrington Jane M. , Love Rene , Bumbach Michael D. , Maymi Michael A. , Newbutt Nigel
Published: July 2024

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is shifting the nursing education paradigm to competency-based education. Competency-based nursing education focuses on the nursing students’ demonstration of knowledge. This shift in nursing education will rely on performance measures and data to determine success. Data and artificial intelligence can provide the nursing student with a targeted evaluation from the nursing faculty. Building on prior applications of “precision” and the use of data to drive precision medicine or precision nursing, nursing informatics is well-positioned for this paradigm shift to support data and artificial intelligence in nursing education. Little is understood about the concept of “precision nursing education” and its implications. We completed a concept analysis and defined the concept of “precision nursing education” as the use of data and artificial intelligence to measure student nurses’ performance with competency-based nursing education.
Staff Management with AI: Predicting the Nursing Workload
Authors: Hunstein Dirk , Fiebig Madlen
Published: July 2024

The effective management of human resources in nursing fundamental to ensuring high-quality care. The necessary staffing levels can beis derived from the nursing-related health status. Our approach is based on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to recognize key workload-driving predictors from routine clinical data in the first step and derive recommendations for staffing levels in the second step. The study was a multi-center study with data provided by three hospitals. The SPI (Self Care Index = sum score of 10 functional/cognitive items of the epaAC) was identified as a strong predictor of nursing workload. The SPI alone explains the variance in workload minutes with an adjusted R2 of 40% to 66%. With the addition of further predictors such as “fatigue” or “pain intensity”, the adjusted R2 can be increased by up to 17%. The resulting model can be used as a foundation for data-based personnel controlling using AI-based prediction models.

Published: July 2024

More patients are being discharged early from hospital and increasing numbers of patients have complex health care needs and receive care in the primary health care sector. To ensure efficient coordination and continuity of care, access to relevant information is crucial. We report from two Norwegian municipalities that, during an innovation project, transferred their information system from a paper-based to a digital coordination system. Workshops and interviews were conducted to address the considerations, reflections and dilemmas of the actors involved during the innovation process. The analysis provided three main themes which were: 1) transition from paper-based to digital overviews; 2) transition from individual patient information to a digital overview of groups of patients; and 3) transition from use of telephone to digital exchange of information. The actors had to overcome several challenges. Nevertheless, the outcome was that they were provided with contextualised information enabling efficiency and patient safety in their coordination work.

A Different View of Health Information Technology Workarounds in Critical Care
Authors: Browne Jennifer , Braden Carrie Jo
Published: July 2024

When health information technology (HIT) was introduced into the hospital setting there was an obvious disruption to nursing workflow. In many cases it took a nurse extra steps or extra time to complete processes such as clinical documentation and medication administration. In response to HIT problems, nurses developed workarounds. Research on nursing workarounds has been hindered by a lack of variable definitions, measures and research models. This paper offers the results of an exploratory mixed methods study that proposes definitions for workarounds and describes the variable relationships with turbulence and patient safety in critical care.

Authors: Jin Ruinan , Li Xiaoxiao , Block Lorraine J. , Beschastnikh Ivan , Currie Leanne M. , Ronquillo Charlene E.
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the balance between fairness and performance in machine learning classification, predicting the likelihood of a patient receiving anti-microbial treatment using structured data in community nursing wound care electronic health records. The data includes two important predictors (gender and language) of the social determinants of health, which we used to evaluate the fairness of the classifiers. At the same time, the impact of various groupings of language codes on classifiers’ performance and fairness is analyzed. Most common statistical learning-based classifiers are evaluated. The findings indicate that while K-Nearest Neighbors offers the best fairness metrics among different grouping settings, the performance of all classifiers is generally consistent across different language code groupings. Also, grouping more variables tends to improve the fairness metrics over all classifiers while maintaining their performance.

Authors: Kücking Florian , Zukunft Steffen , Schell Helga , Birkner Christina , Rotegård Ann-Kristin , Hüsers Jens , Hübner Ursula H.
Published: July 2024

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are capable of bridging evidence and practice. However, it is unclear what dimensions determine evidence-based practice under real world conditions. To answer this question, 126 registered nurses and nursing students from the Munich municipal hospital group filled in a systematically developed and validated questionnaire with 26 items. An exploratory factor analysis revealed the three dimensions “Knowledge”, “Trust” and “Practice” which explain 56.5% of the total variance. They are corroborated by the literature and match findings about evidence-based practice in medicine. These results not only provide insights into the construct evidence-based practice but also give practical hints how to foster evidence-based daily work in nursing. A supportive clinical environment seems to be paramount to achieve this goal: access to evidence-based resources, team meetings to reflect the experience and the inclusion of the patients’ needs.

The Effectiveness of Development mHealth Apps on the Self-Care Ability of Patients with Ostomy
Authors: Chen Hsin-Ling , Tu Ming-Hsiang
Published: July 2024

Intestinal cancer, severe injury, and severe inflammation are most often treated with surgery, and an ostomy will be left in place after surgery[1]. An ostomy is a portion of the intestine that is surgically removed and pulled up to the abdominal wall, creating a temporary or permanent opening that serves as a pathway for intestinal waste to be discharged from the body, usually called a stoma. Stoma may be temporary (2 months to 6 months) or permanent. The goal for people with a stoma is to have the knowledge and ability to care for an ostomy to avoid peristomal moisture-associated skin damage. After patients return home, self-care knowledge and skills can help them adapt to the disease and maintain quality of life. Therefore, this study examined the effects of developing mobile Health applications on improving self-care knowledge and skills in patients who underwent ostomy surgery.

Authors: Cheng Shu Fang , Han Chia Yeuan
Published: July 2024

Taiwan has a well-structured healthcare insurance system that offers accessible medical resources to the public through nominal health insurance fees. Consequently, individuals in need of care willingly pay nominal charges for medical services, including rehabilitation treatment. This study delves into the rehabilitation department of a medical center in southern Taiwan. Despite offering comprehensive traditional rehabilitation services covering neurological, musculoskeletal, pediatric, cardiopulmonary, communication, and swallow disorders, the demand for appointments significantly surpasses the number of available therapists. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficiently method to optimize patient-therapist appointment. With a Complex Conditional Logic that we have designed in this paper, we aim to simplify the scheduling processing for patient seeking appointment either online or via phone calls. More than 50,000 cases have been treated since the system’s launch within a year, facilitates hospital resource allocation and enhancing patient medical experiences.

Authors: Lee Ming-Ying , Cheng Heng-Feng , Chen Lee-Chen
Published: July 2024

Best practices in postpartum care encourage rooming-in to promote early breastfeeding and mother–newborn bonding. However, when the medical records of mothers and newborns are stored separately in the postpartum ward and the neonatal nursery, respectively, nurses encounter difficulties in accessing complete information about the mother–infant dyad, which results in suboptimal care quality. Accordingly, the authors designed an integrated electronic information (e-information) system linking the medical records of newborns and their mothers and implemented it in April 2022 at a medical center in Taiwan. System effectiveness assessment results indicated that before the implementation of the e-information system, the nursing care completion scored 72.4 out of 100, and the nurse satisfaction scored 80.9 out of 100. After the implementation of the system, the nursing care completion increased to 97.8 (p < .001), while the nurse satisfaction rose to 95.8 (p < .001), demonstrating significant improvements.

Authors: Suga Sayaka , Yoshimura Shinichi , Ohno Yuko
Published: July 2024

Falls are an important health issue for older people, as they lead to increased morbidity and mortality and reduced physical function, activities of daily living, and quality of life. Skin sensation is an indicator of the ability to maintain balance, which is a factor in fall risk. We investigated the validity of a computer-controlled plantar-foot sensation-testing instrument (PFS tester) that measures skin sensation. We examined the within-subject reproducibility of skin sensation thresholds and their relationship to balance in older participants. Within-subject skin sensation threshold reproducibility was examined using intraclass correlation coefficients. The skin sensation thresholds showed moderate within-subject reproducibility. The associations between skin sensation thresholds and balance were examined using multiple regression analysis. We found a significant relationship between skin sensation thresholds and balance. The results indicate that the PFS tester is clinically applicable and a reliable indicator of balance ability.

Itaúnas is a locality of rare scenic beauty, with white sand dunes in the middle of the savanna coastal environments known as restinga, and many flooded pools, forming a unique landscape. In these ponds of dark, matte tea colored water, lives a fish, _Xenurolebias myersi, _an endemic inhabitant of Itaúnas. The survival of this unique little fish is worrying. The living environments of the Itaúnas cloud fish are under pressure, and the species is threatened with extinction as well. As inhabiting temporary, almost isolated environments, this fish is almost unknown. The local population is unaware that the region is inhabited by an endangered endemic fish. A form of protection comes from promoting its presence among the population of the village. The present contribution aims to shed light on the knowledge of _Xenurolebias myersi_ and its awareness by the local population, as well as to highlight the urgent need to protect the Velha Antônia stream, a river drainage close to the village of Itaúnas, where the fish was caught for the first time.

Authors: Atasoy Emin , Önal Hakan
Published: July 2024

The Masbate Province surrounded by the Sibuyan Sea, Visayan Sea and Samar Sea, is located in the central part of the Philippine archipelago and includes 3 large islands (Masbate, Ticao and Burias) and many smaller islands. All the islands within the borders of Masbate Province are just one part of the Luzon Islands Group in terms of physical geography; also in terms of political geography and administrative geography, they are located within the “Bicol Administrative Region”. In terms of administrative structure, there are 20 districts, 1 city (Masbate City) and 550 Barangays in the Masbate Province. Even though the Masbate Province has rich natural resources and mines, great agricultural and fishing potential, it has so far failed to achieve the desired success in international tourism. In this study, Masbate, Ticao and Burias, which are the largest islands of the Masbate province, are investigated and analyzed separately and both their geographical features, tourism potential and tourism attractiveness of these islands are accounted for. In this article, the main accommodation facilities, major nature reserves, islands and beaches within the borders of Masbate Province, as well as natural and cultural tourism attractions are examined; additionally, the tourism advantages and disadvantages of Masbate Province are addressed. The main purpose of the study is to introduce the tourism resources, cultural riches and natural beauties of the Masbate Province, which actually is not very popular among the international tourists, to the readers, both to popularize the name of the Masbate Province to the global tourism markets and offer new holiday options for the inquisitive tourists.
