Standardi in zakonski predpisi za pripravo publikacij
Authors: Jamar Nina
Published: June 2022

Namen: V pričujočem prispevku predstavljamo pregled mednarodnih standardov in zakonskih predpisov za pripravo publikacij. Predstavljamo, kako bibliotekarjevo stro­kovno znanje pripomore k opremi publikacij s podatki.

Metodologija/pristop: Opravili smo pregled mednarodnih standardov in zakonskih predpisov za pripravo publikacij. Predstavili smo jih in opozorili na vsebino posamez­nega standarda.

Rezultati: Največ mednarodnih standardov je namenjenih pripravi periodičnih publikacij (SIST ISO 4, SIST ISO 8, SIST ISO 18, SIST ISO 214, SIST ISO 215). Ostali mednarodni standardi, ki govorijo o pripravi publikacij, pa govorijo o pripravi naslovne strani knjig, kazala ter navajanju bibliografskih navedb in citiranju virov informacij. Torej nas že mednarodni standardi, ki obstajajo, opozarjajo, na kaj moramo biti kot bibliotekarji pri pripravi publikacij pozorni.

Omejitve raziskave: V raziskavi smo se pri standardih omejili predvsem na tisti del vse­bine standardov in zakonskih predpisov za pripravo publikacij, ki se je skladal s pri­pravo publikacij, ki jih izdajamo na Glasbeni šoli Jesenice.

Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Jasnih podatkov o publikaciji ne potrebujejo le kata­logizatorji, ampak tudi raziskovalci in publicisti za pravilno navajanje bibliografskih virov.

The basic concept of Neuroanesthesia & Neuro Critical Care is referred to as the ABCDE of neuroanesthesia. Early Brain Injury (EBI) was formerly known as primary brain injury. In EBI there is a loss of autoregulation and loss of blood-brain barrier integrity. The presence of Cushing's triad indicates the presence of intracranial hypertension. The target of blood pressure in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is to avoid blood pressure systolic <110 mmHg, maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) 60-70 mmHg, target PaCO2 regulation is normocarbia, PaCO2 35–40 mmHg, prophylactic use of phenytoin or valproate is not recommended to prevent late post-traumatic seizures (late PTS). There is still a need to analyse decompressive craniectomy (DECRA) therapy compared with continued medical therapy for refractory intracranial pressure (ICP) elevations after TBI. General anesthesia for patients with severe TBI is preferable to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), the administration of fluids should consider the osmolarity of these fluids. In the new concept, in patients with elevated ICP, the volatile anesthetic concentration should be limited to 0.5 MAC. The target blood sugar is normoglycemia. Prophylactic or therapeutic hypo

Human exposure to solar radiation has significant public health implications. Sunlight’s UV radiation can injure skin cells and alter the appearance of the skin. Long-term impacts of sun exposure include delayed pigmentation, reduced vitamin D synthesis, changed immunological responses of the skin, and others. The immediate consequences of sun exposure include severe skin changes like sunburn. Sun protection is a fundamental preventative step against skin cancer and skin damage brought on by excessive sun exposure. Sunscreens function to block ultraviolet (UV) rays from the environment from reaching the skin. They help shield skin exposed to sunlight from sunburn and other negative consequences by reflecting or absorbing UV radiation. The study aimed to determine and evaluate the awareness and knowledge of UV radiation diseases, the prevalence of sunscreen use, and attitudes and perceptions toward their use among University Medical Students in Zawia (Libya). A specially prepared, self-structured survey was given to 100 participants to obtain data. The majority (74%) of the participants were Pharmacy students, 16% were Medicine students, and only 10% were Dentistry students. The results showed that 93% of participants had awareness or knowledge of sun diseases, but only 7% lacked information about radiation diseases. 71% of participants applied sunscreen, whereas 29% did not apply sunscreen. The study concludes that students at Zawia Medical University have adequate knowledge and are aware of the harmful effects of solar radiation exposure. Sunscreens are a crucial component of sun safety practices. The study also identified the necessity for personal health education and training for our society that emphasizes the critical role of sunscreen and recommended application techniques.
The Ascendancy of Gabriel M. Reyes to the Archbishopric of Manila (1949-1952)
Authors:   University of Santo Tomas, Magpantay Melanie , Hila Antonio
Published: June 2022

This research will discuss, narrate, and analyze the factors that led to the appointment of the first native Archbishop of Manila and how he responded to the challenges of making the faith timely for the laity during his three-year stewardship guided by Arnold Toynbee’s Challenge and Response theory applied on the micro level. The seat of the Archbishopric of the Archdiocese of Manila was regarded as the premier office to be occupied by any clergy in the Philippines. For almost four centuries, this prime seat was given to foreigners, dominated by the Spaniards. Political and religious factors determined the archbishop-to-be: the patronato real during the Spanish era and the preference of the American officials during the American period. The choice for the episcopal seat took a paradigm shift after the codification of the Canon Law in 1917 when the appointment for the episcopacy rested solely on the Pope’s decision based on the candidate’s credentials. The same Canon Law was in effect on 1949 when the Archdiocese of Manila had its first native Coadjutor-Archbishop. The native clergy who was the designated successor of the ailing Archbishop Michael O’Doherty was Gabriel M. Reyes, an Aklanon, formerly of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
aprendizaje digital desde la visión Transdigital
Authors: Palacios-Díaz Rosalba
Published: June 2022

La irrupción de la tecnología digital de uso personal ha revolucionado a las sociedades desde su aparición en la década de 1980. Uno de los ámbitos que se ha transformado de forma prometedora es la educación. La influencia de lo digital se ha manifestado en distintos aspectos de la estructura educativa, tales como el mapa curricular, el contexto socioeducativo, los ambientes didácticos, los agentes de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la organización institucional. No obstante, los estudiantes han manifestado una conducta itinerante de búsqueda, selección, análisis, comprensión y reflexión de contenidos en la red, que ocurre de manera complementaria a su formación académica. El propósito de este trabajo es realizar una revisión documental del aprendizaje digital desde tres enfoques: histórico (epistolar, audiovisual, virtual, web 2.0), descriptivo (panorama del aprendizaje, entornos educativos, el trabajo en red) y analítico (estudiante, docente, contexto de aprendizaje). Se explora también, la posibilidad de una línea de investigación de convergencia digital-humana llamada Transdigital, como resultado de la reflexión con relación a la irrupción de la tecnología en el ámbito educativo.
Percepciones de docentes de la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua sobre la implementación de un modelo educativo y el uso de TIC
Authors: García Ruiz Luis Alejandro
Published: June 2022

La Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua atraviesa una renovación universitaria, su nuevo modelo educativo está en proceso de implementación. Dicho modelo, con base en competencias, demanda el uso de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación, así como ambientes multimodales. Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad a once docentes, específicamente de la Facultad de Artes de esta universidad, para conocer sus opiniones sobre el nuevo modelo educativo y el uso de las TIC en ese contexto particular. Se analizó la información obtenida a partir de Teoría Fundamentada. Si bien, el proceso de renovación del modelo educativo está en curso y puede ser modificado, es percibido por los docentes como una simulación, al menos en parte. La falta de comunicación efectiva, la saturación de algunos docentes y falta de cambios administrativos sustanciales, enmarcan esas percepciones. Se concluye que son necesarias estrategias de gestión del cambio para poder incluir de modo integral la tecnología educativa y transformar la práctica docente que tiende a mantener sus formas tradicionales. Son necesarios cambios actitudinales e ideológicos para una correcta renovación del modelo educativo, que habrán de ser respaldados por una transformación administrativa que propicie un ambiente equitativo en términos laborales y académicos.

“I’ve Never Felt Right After Chemo”
Authors: Siegel Finer Bryna
Published: June 2022

This persuasion brief addresses medical oncologists and their teams (nurses, physician assistants, and the like) who use chemotherapy to treat cancer patients, and asks them to consider the ways that a post-chemotherapy state is itself a chronic condition, how some patients come to understand their bodies as chronically changed by chemotherapy (almost as if having a new or different disease), how patient education materials describing chemotherapy can better equip patients to face their new reality, and why practitioners should be better trained in post-chemotherapy care.
Rhetorical Enactment Theory and a Rhetoric of Chronicity for Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Friz Amanda
Published: June 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease that progresses along a fluctuating course of changing capacities, affects approximately 5.7 million Americans, an estimate expected to skyrocket as the baby boomer generation ages. Adopting a rhetorical field methods approach I analyze the transcripts of qualitative interviews of 3 patients and 28 caregivers to understand how the chronicity of AD affects informal caregiving strategies as well as the lived experiences of persons with AD. Employing a new materialist framework along with rhetorical enactment theory, I posit chronicity as rhetorical action distributed not only among human and nonhuman agents but also across moments, requiring special attention to time and timing. I argue chronic illness is rhetorically enacted through three material-discursive practices: ontological practices that enact reality, alignment practices that facilitate or disrupt cooperation among entities, and mnemonic practices that enact and outsource memory among AD caregivers. Across all three kinds of practice, a material-discursive sense of kairos and chronos is advanced.
Intelligibility of the Reversed-Stethoscope Technique in Age-Related Hearing Loss
Authors: Koerber Raphaelle M. , Vaccarello Linh , Ho Allan
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the reverse stethoscope technique in improving speech intelligibility. In this technique, a clinician places the earpieces of their stethoscope into the ears of a hearing-impaired patient and speaks into the chest piece.
METHODS
The International Speech Test Signal was presented to four Littman® stethoscope models and a Pocketalker® personal voice amplifier using an Audioscan® hearing instrument test box. The acoustic outputs of the stethoscopes and voice amplifier were measured across the frequency spectrum of speech. The Speech Intelligibility Index of the resulting speech was calculated for natural speech and for each device in relation to 10 standardized hearing losses representing the population of older adults.
RESULTS
For each of the 10 hearing losses, the speech signal emitted by the stethoscopes was quieter and yielded lower speech intelligibility scores than regular speech. In contrast, the voice amplifier provided mid and high frequency amplification and improved speech intelligibility scores for all but the mildest hearing losses.
CONCLUSIONS
The reverse stethoscope technique worsens the clarity of speech and should not be used with older, hearing-impaired patients. Instead, clinicians should use regular speech or, preferably, personal voice amplifiers.

The Canadian population is aging. With aging, biological and social changes occur increasing the risk of developing chronic conditions and functional loss leading to frailty. Older adults living with frailty are more vulnerable to minor stressors, take longer to recover from illness, and have difficulty participating in daily activities. The Canadian Frailty Network’s (CFN) mis-sion is to improve the lives of older adults living with frailty. In September 2019, CFN launched the Activity & Exercise, Vaccination, Optimization of medications, Interaction & Socialization, and Diet & Nutrition (AVOID) Frailty public health campaign to promote assessing and reducing risk fac-tors leading to the development of frailty. As part of the cam-paign, CFN held an Enabling Healthy Aging Symposium with 36 stakeholders from across Canada. Stakeholders identified individual and community-level opportunities and challenges for the enablement of healthy aging and frailty mitigation, as part of a focused consultative process. Stakeholders ranked the three most important challenges and opportunities at the individual and community levels for implementing AVOID Frailty recommendations. Concrete actions, further research areas, policy changes, and existing resources/programs to enhance the AVOID Frailty campaign were identified. The results will help inform future priorities and behaviour change strategies for healthy aging in Canada.

Published: June 2022

BackgroundPolypharmacy is prevalent in long-term care homes (LTCH) and increases the risk of adverse drug events. Feasible and effective deprescribing interventions applicable in the LTCH environment are needed.
MethodsWe performed a mixed methods study to evaluate the feasi-bility, applicability, and effectiveness of an electronic depre-scribing tool, MedSafer, to facilitate quarterly medication reviews (QMRs) on two pilot units in an academic long-term care home (LTCH). Chart reviews collected resident health data. The prevalence of deprescribing at a standard QMR was compared with a QMR conducted three months later with MedSafer. Feedback from physicians on their experience with MedSafer was obtained through semi-structured interviews.
ResultsPhysicians found MedSafer helpful in guiding deprescribing decisions and suggested software improvements to increase the feasibility in LTCH. The average number of medications deprescribed per resident was significantly higher at the Med-Safer QMR (mean reduction = 1.1 medications, SD = 1.3) compared to the standard QMR (mean reduction = 0.5, SD = 0.9) (absolute difference of 0.5; SD 1.1; p = .02).
ConclusionMedSafer has the potential to increase deprescribing in LTCHs by flagging potentially inappropriate medications. Integration in the electronic medical record might increase uptake in LTCHs. Further research should investigate the generalizability of MedSafer in a larger population and in non-academic LTCHs.
Recent Studies of Transient Liquid Phase Bonding Technology for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Lee Dong-Hwan , Heo Min-Haeng , Yoon Jeong-Won
Published: June 2022

Recently, interest in power modules is increasing in eco-friendly mobility such as electric vehicles (EVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The power module is a key component of the eco-friendly mobility that drives a motor by converting direct current (DC) supplied from the battery into alternating current (AC). However, a lot of heat is generated in the power module during its operation. To ensure the reliability of power modules, it is essential to form a joint suitable for high-temperature operation. Many pieces of research have been published on various bonding methods such as soldering, Ag sintering, Cu-Cu direct bonding, and transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding. The TLP bonding has many advantages, such as significantly less cost and a high melting temperature joint. In this review paper, various TLP bonding technologies with different materials and methods have been introduced and compared.
Predictors of Therapy Response in Chronic Aphasia: Building a Foundation for Personalized Aphasia Therapy
Authors: Kristinsson Sigfus , den Ouden Dirk B. , Rorden Chris , Newman-Norlund Roger , Neils-Strunjas Jean , Fridriksson Julius
Published: June 2022

Chronic aphasia, a devastating impairment of language, affects up to a third of stroke survivors. Speech and language therapy has consistently been shown to improve language function in prior clinical trials, but few clinicially applicable predictors of individual therapy response have been identified to date. Consequently, clinicians struggle substantially with prognostication in the clinical management of aphasia. A rising prevalence of aphasia, in particular in younger populations, has emphasized the increasing demand for a personalized approach to aphasia therapy, that is, therapy aimed at maximizing language recovery of each individual with reference to evidence-based clinical recommendations. In this narrative review, we discuss the current state of the literature with respect to commonly studied predictors of therapy response in aphasia. In particular, we focus our discussion on biographical, neuropsychological, and neurobiological predictors, and emphasize limitations of the literature, summarize consistent findings, and consider how the research field can better support the development of personalized aphasia therapy. In conclusion, a review of the literature indicates that future research efforts should aim to recruit larger samples of people with aphasia, including by establishing multisite aphasia research centers.

Effect of school eye health education program on eye health knowledge and practice in middle school students
Authors: Park HeeGyeong , Ahn Sukhee
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of an eye health education program on the level of knowledge and eye health practice of middle school students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The study participants were from one middle school first graders in a province of Korea. The experimental group was composed of three classes (76 students), and the control group was composed of three other classes (77 students). Pretests were conducted in June for the experimental group and in August for the control group. The experimental group received an eye health education program developed for this study consisting of four sessions in total, given once a week for 45 minutes per session. The control group was instructed by the school's health teacher in the eye health education included in the existing health education curriculum. Posttests were conducted three weeks after the training in the control group and immediately after the fourth eye health education session in the experimental group. Results: After being instructed in the eye health education program, the eye health-related knowledge (t=9.45, p<.001) and eye health practice (t=2.18, p=.031) of the experimental group participating in the education program were higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: The eye health education program was effective in improving middle school student’s level of eye health-related knowledge and eye health practice. School health teachers could implement this program as a part of the standard eye health education for middle school students. The long-term effects of practicing eye health behavior needs to be confirmed in a future study.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting a hypothetical model of testing for general hospital nurses’ job embeddedness.Methods: Data were collected from August 20 to September 19, 2021, by a self-administered questionnaire answered by 428 general hospital nurses. The data were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS.Results: Nine of the hypothetical model’s 12 hypotheses were supported by the data collected from all participants. The test results indicate that ego resilience, subjective career success, and recovery experience from job stress directly affect participants’ job embeddedness. Nurses’ work environments were reported to affect ego resilience and subjective career success, while at the same time ego resilience and subjective career success affected the participants’ job embeddedness. Work-life balance was found to affect ego resilience and ego resilience affected subjective career success, and at the same time subjective career success directly affected participants’ recovery experiences from job stress and job embeddedness. Of these variables, subjective career success had the strongest direct effect on participants’ job embeddedness. Work-life balance affected the participants’ recovery experiences from job stress, and their recovery experiences from job stress were found to directly affect job embeddedness.Conclusion: These results suggest that different management strategies to enhance hospital nurses’ job embeddedness should address nurses’ ego resilience, subjective career success, and recovery experiences from job stress.
Escriptura exposada, registres escrits i oralitat en la pràctica administrativa medieval. L’organització dels treballs comunals a Vila-real i Castelló (segles XIV-XV)
Authors: Viciano Pau
Published: June 2022

L’escriptura exposada en els espais de la ciutat durant l’edat mitjana i l’època moderna s’ha associat especialment a l’escriptura monumental o d’”aparat” que celebrava el poder, com a propaganda i memòria. Tanmateix, des de les institucions urbanes es generaven escriptures exposades, de caràcter mural, amb una finalitat de comunicació pràctica, efímera, i, per tant, desproveïdes de qualsevol vocació de monumentalitat. Aquesta modalitat d’escriptura pública, tot i que no se’n conserven testimonis materials, està documentada en els registres administratius d’una població valenciana com Vila-real dels segles XIV-XV. Les referències textuals permeten constatar que, per disposició de les autoritats municipals, s’hi realitzaven inscripcions en els murs per a organitzar una prestació comunitària com eren els serveis militars. Es tracta d’una pràctica que s’inseria en uns procediments organitzatius basats en els registres escrits en paper però on la comunicació oral continuava tenint un pes destacat.

Published: June 2022

Riassunto: Il saggio riflette sui modi in cui il canto CX di March gestisce l’elaborazione dell’esperienza interiore sotto la spinta della follia d’amore. In particolare riflette sulla compresenza di modalità sincroniche e diacroniche di vivere e rappresentare i movimenti dell’io, alla luce di una configurazione prismatica della coscienza. Riconosce quindi nel componimento il topos della conversione, ma trasportato su un piano secolarizzato, e incapace dunque di una reale trasformazione interna; e registra quindi le differenze constitutive rispetto ai modelli di Dante e di Petrarca, pure ben presenti.Parole chiave: Ausiàs March, canto CX, sincronia e diacronia, conversione, secolarizzazioneAbstract: The essay reflects on the ways in which March’s CX poem processes inner experience under the pressure of the madness of love. In particular, it reflects on the coexistence of synchronic and diachronic ways of living and representing the movements of the subject, in the light of a prismatic configuration of consciousness. Related to this, the essay identifies in the composition the topos of conversion, but transported to a secular level, and therefor incapable of a real internal transformation. On the basis of that, the essay notes the constitutive differences with respect to the models of Dante and Petrarch, which are also present.Keywords: Ausiàs March, song CX, synchrony and diachrony, conversion, secularisation

A Systematic Cooperation Method for In-Car Navigation Based on Future Time Windows
Authors: LIN Peiqun , ZHOU Chuhao , CHENG Yang
Published: June 2022

Traffic congestion has become a severe problem, af-fecting travellers both mentally and economically. To al-leviate traffic congestion, this paper proposes a method using a concept of future time windows to estimate the future state of the road network for navigation. Through our method, we can estimate the travel time not only based on the current traffic state, but the state that ve-hicles will arrive in the future. To test our method, we conduct experiments based on Simulation of Urban MO-bility (SUMO). The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the overall travel time of all vehicles, compared to the benchmark Dijkstra algorithm. We also compared our method to the Dynamic User Equilibrium (DUE) provided by SUMO. The experimental results show that the performance of our method is a little better than the DUE. In practice, the proposed method takes less time for computation and is insensitive to low driver compliance: with as low as 40% compliance rate, our method can significantly im-prove the efficiency of the unsignalised road network. We also verify the effectiveness of our method in a signalised road network. It also demonstrates that our method can assign traffic efficiently.
Detection and Prediction of a Pair of Unmanned Aircraft Contact
Authors: NOVÁK Andrej , NOVÁK SEDLÁČKOVÁ Alena , PECHO Pavol
Published: June 2022

In the current world of increasing density of unmanned aerial vehicle operations in the airspace, there is an enhanced emphasis on their safety due to the potential for mid-air collision, either with another aircraft or with each other. At the same time, unmanned aerial vehicles are also being used in the context of introducing smart technologies into maintenance processes, where there is also a need to prevent a potentially possible conflict when two drones come close together. The paper introduces a mathematical model for tactical prediction of a conflict between a pair of drones. The tactical prediction of drone conflict is intended to alert the drone operator to an immediate potentially dangerous situation. The mathematical simulation in this paper extrapolates the 3D trajectory in the direction of the relative velocity vector of the convergence over the advance time. If the extrapolated trajectory has at least one point in common with the conflict space of the other drone, the conflict is signalled to the drone operator. This model can then be used in practice to simulate flight operations in shared airspace or to develop the currently required rules in selected situations.
Calotropin and corotoxigenin 3-O-glucopyranoside from the desert milkweed Asclepias subulata inhibit the Na+/K+-ATPase activity

Na+/K+-ATPase is an essential transmembrane enzyme found in all mammalian cells with critical functions for cell ion homeostasis. The inhibition of this enzyme by several cardiotonic steroids (CTS) has been associated with the cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines of phytochemicals such as ouabain and digitoxin. This study evaluated the inhibitory capacity of cardenolides calotropin and corotoxigenin 3-O-glucopyranoside (C3OG) from Asclepias subulata over the Na+/K+-ATPase activity in vitro and silico. The inhibitory assays showed that calotropin and C3OG decreased the Na+/K+-ATPase activity with IC50 values of 0.27 and 0.87 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the molecules presented an uncompetitive inhibition on Na+/K+-ATPase activity, with Ki values of 0.2 μM to calotropin and 0.5 μM to C3OG. Furthermore, the molecular modeling indicated that calotropin and C3OG might interact with the Thr797 and Gln111 residues, considered essential to the interaction with the Na+/K+-ATPase. Besides, these cardenolides can interact with amino acid residues such as Phe783, Leu125, and Ala323, to establish hydrophobic interactions on the binding site. Considering the results, these provide novel evidence about the mechanism of action of cardenolides from A. subulata, proposing that C3OG is a novel cardenolide that deserves further consideration for in vitro cellular antiproliferative assays and in vivo studies as an anticancer molecule.
Factors Affecting Pressure Ulcer among Inpatients in Long Term Care Facilities: Adults with Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Do Un Hi , Park Mina , Kim Se Hee , Moon Kyoung Ja
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting pressure ulcers among cognitive impairment inpatients with long term care facilities. Methods: In this secondary data analysis of the two long-term care facilities, 162 patients with mild or more cognitive impairment were analyzed. Patients with a pressure ulcer of stage 2 or higher that developed after the first day of hospitalization were defined as the pressure ulcer group, while the other patients comprised the non-pressure ulcer group. Demographic characteristics were compared between the two groups. Initially, a univariate analysis was conducted. Subsequently, risk factors were identified through logistic regression analysis using the variables that exhibited statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis. Results: Thirty-three patients had hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. Age (odds ratio [OR]=0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.87~0.98), albumin levels (OR=0.25, 95% CI=0.08~0.77), Charlson comorbidity index (OR=1.57, 95% CI=1.14~2.18), and Mini-Mental State Examination for Koreans score (OR=0.90, 95% CI=0.81~0.99) were identified as risk factors for pressure ulcer occurrence. Conclusion: Our data analysis supports independent associations between certain clinical characteristics and pressure ulcer occurrence in long-term care facility patients with cognitive impairment. To reduce the risk of pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities, health professionals should implement appropriate prevention measures.

Authors: Oh Hee-Joo , Kim Suk-Sun
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of parenting stress, sleep quality, self-compassion, and family relationship on mothers’ postpartum depression. Methods: The participants were 141 postpartum mothers within 6 months of childbirth who completed self-report questionnaires consisting of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Self-Compassion Scale, and Family Relationship Assessment Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression using IBM SPSS/WIN 27.0. Results: Postpartum depression was positively associated with parenting stress and sleep quality, but negatively related to self-compassion and family relationship. Multiple regression analysis showed that parenting stress, sleep quality, self-compassion and family relationship were significant factors with an explanation power of approximately 59% of the variance in postpartum depression. Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to develop nursing interventions to enhance family relationships and reduce parenting stress to prevent postpartum depression.

Authors: Bae Ji Yeon , Bae Sun Hyoung
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the influence of critical thinking disposition and communication ability on patient safety competence among clinical nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a self-reported questionnaire. In total, 139 nurses were recruited from a tertiary care hospital and general hospital in Gyeonggi Province. Data were collected from March 5, 2019 to March 29, 2019 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson’ correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS version 25.0. Results: The item mean score for patient safety competence was 3.83±0.40 (range, 1~5). Clinical nurses who were female, older, had higher education, and had more clinical experiences showed higher patient safety competence. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that healthy skepticism and objectivity (as subscales of clinical thinking disposition) and communication ability explained 28% and 3% of variance in patient safety competence; the model predicted approximately 38% of the variance in patient safety competence (F=6.69, p<.001). Conclusion: Clinical nurses’ patient safety competence was associated with healthy skepticism and objectivity, among the subscales of clinical thinking disposition, and communication ability. These were also found to be the major factors that influenced patient safety competence. Thus, it is necessary to develop educational programs to improve clinical nurses’ critical thinking disposition and communication skills.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of disaster perception, disaster attitude, and communication skills on disaster nursing competence among nurse officers at armed forces hospitals. Methods: In this descriptive study, data were collected from 191 nurse officers at armed forces hospitals in Korea, using convenience sampling. Data were analyzed by conducting descriptive statistics, the independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean scores for disaster perception, disaster attitude, communication skills, and disaster nursing competency were 73.02±7.66, 36.86±3.96, 57.97±6.39, and 52.88±7.66, respectively. Disaster perception was correlated with disaster attitude (r=.32, p=.002), communication skills (r=.46, p<.001) and disaster nursing competence (r=.40, p<.001). Disaster attitude was correlated with communication skills(r=.28, p<.001) and disaster nursing competence (r=.19, p=.008). Communication skills were correlated with disaster nursing competence (r=.50, p<.001). The factors influencing nurse officers’ disaster nursing competence were communication skills (β=.34, p<.001), disaster perception (β=.20, p=.003), experience in disaster education (β=-.20, p=.001), experience in disaster nursing work (β=-.14, p=.022) and working experience (β=.14, p=.033). Conclusion: Disaster nursing competence had a positive correlation with recognition of communication skills, disaster perception, experience of disaster education, and experience of disaster nursing work.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the influence of job stress, critical thinking disposition, and clinical decision-making ability on clinical nurses’ medication safety competence. Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted among 140 nurses with more than 6 months of work experience in 4 general hospitals in Busan metropolitan city. Data were collected from August 15 to October 30, 2021 and analyzed using the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Medication safety competence had significant correlations with job stress (r=.20, p=.021), critical thinking disposition (r=.63, p<.001), and clinical decision-making ability (r=.54, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis for medication safety competence revealed that the most powerful predictor was critical thinking disposition. Job stress and critical thinking disposition explained approximately 45% of the variance in medication safety competence. Conclusion: This study confirms the need to make systematic efforts in clinical settings to improve nurses’ medication safety competence, and seeks ways to do so. To enhance clinical nurses’ medication safety competence in the future, programs that manage job stress and improve critical thinking disposition within the nursing department in particular and the hospital in general should be developed and implemented.

Authors: Seo Su-Jin , Nho Ju-Hee
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older adults with unmet healthcare needs. Methods: Data from the 2018 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. From a pool of 7992 participants, a final sample of 153 participants was analyzed using complex descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and multiple regression analysis. Results: In general, young age, being married, employment, higher income, no hypertension, health insurance coverage as an employee, and living with someone were associated with higher the HRQoL. The following factors were significantly associated with lower HRQoL scores: activity restriction (B=-0.15, p<.001), poor perceived health status (B=-0.14, p<.001), and higher depressive symptom score (B=-0.01, p=.002). The explanatory power was approximately 58%, and the model was deemed suitable (Wald F=16.86, p<.001). Conclusion: This study provides insights into the influence of various characteristics of older adults with unmet healthcare needs on their HRQoL. Healthcare providers should develop strategies to reduce these unmet healthcare needs.

This study evaluated the relationship of insurance sector development with the growth of Nigerian economy between 2003 and 2020. The study analyzed the time series data by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model. Thus, findings indicated that insurance sector productivity was a statistically significant determinant of economic growth with coefficient 0.8092 (p-value = 0.0250<0.05); hence, the study revealed that Nigerian economic growth was strongly and positively promoted by the productivity of the insurance sector. Also, insurance sector claims expenditure was revealed as a weak promoter of economic growth with coefficient 0.0165(p-value = 0.6860>0.05) while insurance sector total asset was indicated as a weak and negative predictor of the Nigerian economy with coefficient -0.0919(p-value = 0.4180<0.05). Accordingly, the study concluded that the development that took place in the insurance sector during the scope of this study significantly promoted growth in the Nigerian economy and consequently recommended that the Nigerian government should consider insurance sector as one of those sectors that are critical to Nigerian economic growth, and should be so treated by according it same attention with banking sector and other critical sectors of the economy.
