Flexible delivery: on‑line versus bottom‑line
Authors: Warelow Philip , Wells Samantha , Irwin Pauletta 
Published: June 2024

Objective: In using a flexible delivery of learning approach to nursing education, and taking into account the globalisation of education, this research argues that universities need to consider and take into account both the positive and negative aspects of this decision.
Setting: Tertiary educational settings.
Subjects: All undergraduate/postgraduate students.
Primary Argument: As nursing education is undergoing some significant changes this study argues that universities must be prepared to adopt some changes to harmonise with the needs of learners, the major stakeholders and to remain financially competitive in the marketplace.
Conclusion: These arguments need to be considered using the backdrop of what might be described as the globalisation of education and universities need to respond to the challenges that flexible online learning presents. Flexible delivery for nursing education may need to proceed forward with a degree of caution because financial considerations shouldn’t be a determinant of pedagogical quality.

Authors: Wright Nana , Nielsen Nina , Lauersen Jannie , Rosenberg Jacob , Danielsen Anne 
Published: June 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to reduce interruptions in nursing practice by exploring the effects on the number of nonrelevant contacts received by the nursing staff after implementation of a Nurse Communication Manager.
Design: The study was designed as a pre/post interventional study. All contacts to the nursing staff, either by telephone or in person, were registered 14 days before intervention and 14 days after intervention.
Setting: The study was set in a department of surgery.
Subjects: The subjects were contacts either in person or by telephone aimed at nurses and nurse assistants in the surgical department.
Interventions: During the daytime a Nurse Communication Manager handled all incoming contacts irrespective of whether they were in person or by telephone. When the Nurse Communication Manager was not available and during the evening, night and weekends, telephone contacts were managed by an electronic Call Centre guiding the call to the care teams.
Main outcome measure(s): The main outcome measures were the number of non-relevant contacts aimed at the nursing staff.
Results: Results showed a significant reduction in non-relevant contacts to the nursing staff from a mean of 80 contacts per day (SD 43) to a mean of 18 contacts per day (SD 7), p<0.01.
Conclusion: Implementation of a Nurse Communication Manager (NCM) reduced the number of non-relevant contacts. Reduction of non-relevant contacts is important for nurses in the clinical setting as non-relevant contacts may be perceived as interruptive. When nurses do not have to spend time responding to non-relevant contacts, they have more time to perform direct patient care.
Health literacy: how nurses can make a difference
Authors: Johnson Anne 
Published: June 2024

Objective: To be a call to action to nurses and all health professionals to implement proven effective evidence based strategies that can decrease health literacy demands on health consumers, and improve health outcomes and the provision of safe person-centred health care.
Primary argument: Health professionals, specifically nurses, are important providers of health information to health consumers. They influence the health literacy demands placed on health consumers through the way they organise, present and communicate information (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2014). All health professionals need to be cognisant of the range of effective strategies they can implement to reduce the health literacy demands on health consumers through effective interpersonal communication, health materials in the written and visual formats and the creation of health literate environments to improve health outcomes and the provision of safe care. Population measurements of functional health literacy levels (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2008) indicate that 59 per cent of the Australian population aged 15 to 74 years did not achieve an adequate health literacy skill level to meet the complex demands of everyday life and work in a knowledge-based economy.

Published: June 2024

Relevance. The nerve growth factor (NGF), possessing neuroprotective and neuroregenerative properties, holds promise for the development of medications for the treatment of post-stroke conditions. At the Federal Research Center for Innovator and Emerging Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Technologies, a dimeric dipeptide mimic of NGF with the laboratory code GK-2 was designed and synthesized. Under conditions of experimental cerebral ischemia, it significantly reduced the volume of brain infarction and stimulated neuro- and synaptogenesis.Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of GK-2 on experimental post-stroke dementia and depression.Methods. Ischemic stroke was induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) in Wistar rats. GK-2 was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg for 21 days post MCAO. Short-term and long-term memory of the animals were assessed 30–40 days post MCAO using the novel object recognition test. Depressive-like state was evaluated through the forced swimming test and sucrose preference test.Results. In animals subjected to MCAO, both short-term and long-term memory exhibited a statistically significant decline of 80 %, along with a depressive-like state characterized by a 50 % increase in total immobility time and a 30 % reduction in sucrose preference, when compared to the sham-lesioned group. Dipeptide GK-2 completely averted the onset of these impairments.Conclusion. The dipeptide mimic of NGF, GK-2, mitigates the development of cognitive and psychomotional impairments in the setting of experimental stroke.
Assessment of the influence of demographic and anthropometric indicators on the variability of pharmacokinetic parameters

Published: June 2024

Relevance. Planning the design of bioequivalence clinical studies of generic highly variable drugs requires non-standard approaches – the use of replicative (repeated) or adaptive design. However, both approaches entail an increase in organizational, time, and financial costs. Therefore, it becomes relevant to search for ways to pre-select volunteers with a lower initial level of variability in pharmacokinetic parameters to reduce the number of subjects.Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the potential subjects in clinical trials with a low initial level of variability in pharmacokinetic parameters using methods for assessing initial gender – age and anthropometric and clinical laboratory parameters.Material and methods. Data from clinical studies of the bioequivalence of drugs (valganciclovir, carebastine and raltegravir) with different levels of variability conducted in the period 2020–2022 in Russia were used for analysis. To achieve this goal, a model for grouping pharmacokinetic parameters (PhK) with known demographic and clinical laboratory parameters was developed using discriminant analysis. Discrimination was performed between optimal pharmacokinetics (OPhK) and variable pharmacokinetics (VPhK). Mathematical and statistical analyses of the results were performed using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Statistica 10.0.Results. During the study, the variability of the maximum concentration of the drug in plasma (Cmax), including its logarithmic values, was used as a basis. The levels of intra-individual variability (CVintra), which is the main characteristic of drug variability, in the OPhK group were several times lower than those in the VPhK group for all studied drugs, but for the highly variable drug raltegravir, they differed by almost 10 times.Conclusion. Therefore, the obtained results indicated that using traditional gender – age and anthropometric indicators alone is impossible to separate the OPhK and VPhK groups for the analyzed drugs with high PhK variability.

Authors: Tairova Madina Ilkhom Qizi  , Xayitboyeva Mukhayyo Ravshanovna  , Kalash Dwivedi  
Published: June 2024

Ovarian tumors can be challenging to diagnose and treat, especially in areas with limited access to advanced medical care. During routine prenatal ultrasounds, abnormal growths in the ovaries can be unexpectedly discovered. In clinical practice, it is essential to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian tumors in order to develop appropriate treatment plans. Ultrasound imaging has become the preferred diagnostic tool. The aim of this article is to examine the ultrasound characteristics of ovarian and adnexal growths and to explore how these characteristics, along with other clinical factors, can aid in predicting the likelihood of ovarian cancer.

Collaborative Mentorship: Two Innovative Approaches for New Faculty Success
Authors: Bergeron Peggy , Irons Ann-Marie , Hall Clarissa 
Published: June 2024

Background
Much like the transition from novice to experienced nurse, the transition of an experienced nurse to a nurse faculty member can be difficult and daunting. One way to prepare new nurse faculty is to establish a mentor-ship program. The Mentor the Mentors project (seasoned faculty) and the Mentorship Academy (new faculty) provided knowledge, tips, and resources to mentors and new nurse faculty to achieve faculty success, satisfaction, and retention.

Method
The Mentor the Mentors project and the Mentorship Academy were implemented for 1 year. Time-lines were established for mentors for how often to meet with mentees. Selected orientation topics, such as university support services, promotion and tenure guidelines, active learning strategies, learning management system navigation, and university guidelines, were reviewed with mentees. Two-group midpoint and endpoint surveys were utilized for this descriptive pilot study.

Results

All mentors reported that they felt
very supported
and confident in their abilities to mentor to new faculty. All of the mentees reported that their participation in the Mentorship Academy empowered them to succeed in their new faculty role.

Conclusion

Information gained will guide future program planning for faculty mentorship.

Equipping Nurse Practitioner Students With Social Determinants of Health Competencies
Authors: Mays Lauren C. , Bristow Alice S. , Baucom Melanie P. , Bowers Deborah A. , Patton Emily M. , Buys Katie C. 
Published: June 2024

Background
Social determinants of health (SDOH) cause significant burden on individuals living with acute and chronic disease. There are meaningful data to support screening for social needs, yet implementation limitations exist in the clinical setting. Incorporating SDOH education into nurse practitioner (NP) curriculum provides a framework for bringing these concepts into clinical practice. As NP education transitions from concept-based to competency-based instruction, NP programs across the nation are tasked with ensuring socially competent, practice-ready NPs.

Method
To help students understand the impact of SDOH in an applied way, a multisemester clinical and didactic dyad approach to SDOH competency was implemented.

Results

NP students (
N
= 521) in three separate cohorts completed the SDOH project between 2019 and 2021. Statistically significant results (
p
> .001) demonstrated increased knowledge related to SDOH in the clinical setting.

Conclusion

Equipping NP students with SDOH competencies empowers them to optimize health, improve patient outcomes, and promote health equity.

Integrating Implicit Bias Training for Undergraduate Holistic Admission Reviewers
Authors: Alston Angela D. , Jauch Amy 
Published: June 2024

Background
The need to create a diverse nursing work-force has increased the use of a holistic admission process across the country. Holistic admission processes alone are insufficient to addressing bias that may have unintentional impact on the review process. Intentionality with implicit bias training is necessary to create a more equitable admission process.

Method
Integration of implicit bias training was multipronged and included overview information and individual activities, including the practice of reviewing applicants. Data from the practice reviews were aggregated and used for small group discussion.

Results
Since integration of implicit bias training, overall admission rates for underrepresented racial and ethnic applicants increased from 14.5% in 2019 to 29.1% in 2022.

Conclusion

While other factors cannot be ruled out in contributing to the increased diversity, the integration of implicit bias education and bias-mitigating strategies throughout the required training for holistic admission reviewers is beneficial to increasing diversity in nursing admissions.

Les occupations préhistorique et protohistorique des Huguetières à La Chevrolière (Loire-Atlantique)
Authors: Cornec Joël , Forré Philippe , Peytremann Édith 
Published: June 2024

La fouille du site des Huguetières à La Chevrolière, en Loire-Atlantique, est à l’origine de la découverte non seulement d’un site médiéval, mais encore d’occupations attribuables à la Préhistoire et à la Protohistoire, objet de cet article. Le site protohistorique est essentiellement caractérisé par six enclos circulaires ou en fer à cheval, dont les datations s’étendant de la fin de l’âge du Bronze ancien au début du premier âge du Fer. Un des monuments est perturbé par l’installation d’une fosse renfermant un dépôt de céramiques de l’étape moyenne du Bronze final. La longévité de l’usage de ces enclos et leur disposition dans l’espace constituent leurs principales originalités par rapport aux sites régionaux possédant de tels monuments dont la vocation sépulcrale reste à démontrer.
Enseigner et apprendre en présentiel
Authors: Holubnycha Liudmyla , Shchokina Tetiana , Soroka Natalia 
Published: June 2024

Cet article traite de la forme traditionnelle d'enseignement et d'apprentissage du point de vue de la qualité des apprentissages, en particulier des avantages et des inconvénients de l'enseignement en présentiel par rapport à la formation en ligne. L'objectif est de vérifier si le processus d’enseignement en classe est de meilleure qualité que l'enseignement et l'apprentissage en ligne sur la base d'un cas réel d'enseignement de l'anglais à l'Université nationale de droit Yaroslav Mudryi. Les tâches consistent à découvrir les avantages de l’enseignement en classe par rapport à celui en ligne, à révéler les inconvénients de l'enseignement traditionnel par rapport au format en ligne sur la base d'une expérience d'enseignement réelle et à vérifier si les avantages ou les inconvénients de la formation en classe ont une plus grande influence sur les résultats d'apprentissage des étudiants de niveau licence Les méthodes de recherches sont empiriques (enquêtes, observations) et théoriques (analyses, synthèses et comparaisons). Les résultats ont mis en évidence les points suivants 1) les avantages de la formation en présentiel sont les suivants : interaction en temps réel, amélioration des compétences sociales, collaboration, organisation, motivation, accessibilité et meilleure évaluation ; 2) les inconvénients de la formation en présentiel ont été révélés : traitement d'une plus petite partie du programme ; problèmes de discipline ; impossibilité d'écouter le matériel de cours à plusieurs reprises si nécessaire ; problèmes d'accès au matériel d'apprentissage à partir d'Internet ; et la tendance de certains étudiants à avoir une barrière psychologique à parler une langue étrangère « en direct » devant d'autres étudiants ; 3) les résultats d'apprentissage des étudiants de niveau licence ont démontré que les étudiants en présentiel obtiennent de moins bons résultats académiques que les étudiants étudiant en ligne. Nous en concluons que les inconvénients de la formation en présentiel déterminent un plus grand effet sur les résultats d'apprentissage des étudiants que les avantages. Afin de déterminer quel format d'enseignement est de meilleure qualité, il est nécessaire de continuer à étudier le problème.
