The effect of breastfeeding education with digital storytelling on fathers' breastfeeding self‐efficacy
Authors: Aktaş Reyhan Feyza 
Published: July 2024

AbstractRationaleThere is growing evidence that fathers play an important role in the breastfeeding process and that fathers need education about breastfeeding. In our age of rapidly developing technology, the use of new teaching techniques in the education of fathers will provide more effective results.AimsIn this study, the effect of breastfeeding education given with digital storytelling method on fathers' breastfeeding self‐efficacy was examined.MethodsThe study is a pretest–posttest randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with the husbands of 80 pregnant women admitted to the childbirth preparation class of a state hospital. The study included a control group and an intervention of educational videos using a digital storytelling technique. Fathers were recruited from hospital antenatal classes and randomized to one of the two groups. Personal Information Form and Paternal Breastfeeding Self‐Efficacy Scale‐Short Form were used for data collection. Each father completed data collection forms at the beginning of the study and at 3 months postpartum. The η2 effect size was calculated for significant differences in the independent and dependent groups t test methods used in the analysis.ResultsThere was a significant difference between the posttest scores of the fathers in the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). When the effect sizes were analysed, it was found that the increase in the intervention group (t = −24.342) was higher than the control group (t = −8.385).ConclusionIn the current study, the effect of using digital storytelling method in breastfeeding education on fathers' breastfeeding self‐efficacy was found to be significantly higher than routine education. It is recommended that this new method be used in education and counselling and that studies be conducted to examine its effect on breastfeeding behaviour and fathers' breastfeeding support.

AbstractIntroductionPrevious studies have demonstrated that the adoption of injection‐to‐oral conversion strategies in hospitalised patient yields both clinical and economic benefits. The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive description of the current state of implementation and evaluate the perspectives of hospital pharmacists to guide future initiatives towards conversion implementation in Indonesia.MethodsA multi‐method design was utilised. Quantitative approach used cross‐sectional study design in which data were collected online using Google Form from August to October 2021. Qualitative analysis employed a phenomenological approach by performing in‐depth interviews from July to August 2021. Each approach's data were compared to discover connections and discrepancies, and the final interpretation was done simultaneously.ResultsA total of 204 pharmacists participated in the survey, with 64.2% of them reporting no previous experience in conversion. An in‐depth interview included seven hospital pharmacists, with three themes were emerged: (1) strategic roles of the pharmacist; (2) key considerations; and (3) potential barriers and enablers of conversion implementation. Based on the elaboration of quantitative and qualitative data, the study found that pharmacist had strong perception regarding pharmacist role in conversion despite their little experience in implementing the activity. For future improvement, a platform that taking into account the pharmacist current conditions and insights should be created.ConclusionsPharmacists appreciated conversion activity and grasped its concepts despite little clinical experience. Consider possible enabling and barrier factors and essential considerations before taking action. Local guidelines and instructional materials that emphasise application or implementation are encouraged. Furthermore, the implementation project must be piloted and evaluated for clinical and economic outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundSmombie has become an important problem especially in terms of adolescent health. The aim of this study was to translate the Smombie Scale for Adolescents (SSA) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties.MethodsThis study has a methodological design. The study was conducted between March and April 2024. The sample of the study consisted of 430 adolescents. The data were collected by using Personal Information Form and SSA. Content Validity Index, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), test−retest reliability, Cronbach's α coefficient, item‐total score correlation, 27% upper−lower group item analysis and Hotelling T2 test were used in data analysis.ResultsThe four‐factor structure of the scale showed a good fit in CFA (chi‐square minimum discrepancy [CMIN] = 187.463, degrees of freedo (DF) = 83, CMIN/DF = 2.259, root mean square error of approximation = 0.054, root mean square residual = 0.033, goodness of fit index = 0.947, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.923, normed fit index = 0.930, tucker‐lewis index = 0.949 and comparative fit index = 0.959). Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.86. The item‐total score correlation of the scale was found between 0.212 and 0.721. The test‐retest intraclass correlation coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.876.ConclusionsThis study shows that the scale is a reliable tool for assessing adolescents' smombie tendencies. It is thought that the scale will contribute to the protection and development of adolescent health.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the effect of instrumental music played during Nonstress Test (NST) on pain, anxiety and satisfaction.MethodsThis research was planned as randomised controlled. The sample of the study consists of 64 pregnant women. In data collection, a survey form containing socio‐demographic characteristics, State‐Trait Anxiety Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Evgeny Grinko‐Valse piece were used as music.ResultsAmong the groups where music was applied, satisfaction with the procedure was significantly high (X2: 12.666, p: 0.049). No significant difference was detected between anxiety and pain conditions (p > 0.05). The scale scores of the groups before and after the procedure were evaluated; Before the procedure, significant differences were detected between the groups in terms of trait anxiety and fear of pain. As a result of the evaluation made after the procedure, there are significant differences between state anxiety and fear of pain (p < 0.05). It was determined that music played during the NST procedure reduced state and trait anxiety. Satisfaction levels are also higher among the group that is listened to music.ConclusionA successful pregnancy is important for the health of mother and baby. Reducing anxiety and stress, especially during the examinations, ensures that the process continues successfully. It is recommended that music played during pregnancy examinations and screening tests be used in clinics and during the procedure to increase satisfaction and reduce anxiety.

Published: July 2024

IntroductionEvidence indicates that retraumatization has a detrimental effect for those women who are accessing perinatal services. One in five women worldwide has a history of childhood adversity. Between 18% and 34% of women experience trauma, which is a well‐known risk factor for the onset of chronic mental health disorders. There is a lack of evidence on women's experiences on retraumatization in perinatal care settings and how to prevent retraumatization from occurring. The purpose of this study was to conduct an integrative review on women experiences of retraumatization to determine preventive measures within perinatal services.MethodsThis integrative review followed Whittemore and Knafl's 5‐stage framework as it allows for the inclusion and integration of diverse research methodologies into an overall synthesis of the evidence. A systematic search of 5 databases was conducted (Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, ASSIA, and PsychINFO) with no date, language, or geographical limits set due to the paucity of research published in this subject area. This review was conducted and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines.ResultsFifteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the thematic synthesis. The review identified that participants across the studies had a history of child sexual abuse, sexual abuse, and rape. Three main themes plus subthemes were identified: (1) activating (subthemes: positions in labor, intimate procedures, communications with health care professionals, loss of control); (2) outcomes (subtheme: emotional responses); and (3) interventions reducing or preventing retraumatization (subthemes: role of the health care professional, screening for abuse and history of trauma).DiscussionOur findings demonstrate that women are experiencing retraumatization in perinatal services, and there is evidence of formalized approaches being applied in clinical settings to prevent retraumatization from occurring. This study is the first to examine the factors that contribute to retraumatization in perinatal services and make recommendations to reduce the harmful practices in place in perinatal care settings.

AbstractThere has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2, comparing it with variation in ossa coxae in living humans and apes as well as other Plio‐Pleistocene hominins. Statistical comparisons indicate that StW 573 and 431 resemble humans in their anteroposteriorly great iliac crest breadth compared with many other early australopiths, whereas Homo ergaster KNM WT 15000 surprisingly also has a relatively anterioposteriorly short iliac crest. StW 573 and StW 431 appear to resemble humans in having a long ischium compared with Sts 14 and KNM WT 15000. A Quadratic Discriminant Function Analysis of morphology compared with other Plio‐Pleistocene hominins and a dataset of modern humans and hominoids shows that, while Lovejoy's heuristic model of the Ardipithecus ramidus os coxae falls with Pongo or in an indeterminate group, StW 573 and StW 431 from Sterkfontein Member 4 are consistently classified together with modern humans. Although clearly exhibiting the classic “basin shaped” bipedal pelvis, Sts 14 (also from Sterkfontein), AL 288‐1 Australopithecus afarensis, MH2 Australopithecus sediba and KNM‐WT 15000 occupy a position more peripheral to modern humans, and in some analyses are assigned to an indeterminate outlying group. Our findings strongly support the existence of two species of Australopithecus at Sterkfontein and the variation we observe in os coxae morphology in early hominins is also likely to reflect multiple forms of bipedality.

AbstractAbout 80% of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the United States are non‐US‐born. Despite improvements in infant hepatitis B vaccination globally since 2000, work remains to attain the World Health Organization's (WHO) global 2030 goal of 90% vaccination. We explore the impacts on the United States of global progress in hepatitis B vaccination since 2000 and of achieving WHO hepatitis B vaccination goals. We simulated immigrants with HBV infection arriving to the United States from 2000 to 2070 using models of the 10 countries from which the largest numbers of individuals with HBV infection were born. We estimated costs in the United States among these cohorts using a disease simulation model. We simulated three scenarios: a scenario with no progress in infant vaccination for hepatitis B since 2000 (baseline), current (2020) progress and achieving WHO 2030 goals for hepatitis B vaccination. We estimate current hepatitis B vaccination progress since the 2000 baseline in these 10 countries will lead to 468,686 fewer HBV infections, avoid 35,582 hepatitis B‐related deaths and save $4.2 billion in the United States through 2070. Achieving the WHO 2030 90% hepatitis B infant vaccination targets could lead to an additional 16,762 fewer HBV infections, 989 fewer hepatitis B‐related deaths and save $143 million through 2070. Global hepatitis B vaccination since 2000 reduced prevalence of HBV infection in the United States. Achieving the WHO 2030 infant vaccination goals globally could lead to over one hundred million dollars in additional savings.

AbstractBackgroundExtracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate cell–cell interactions in the tumour microenvironment. However, standard and efficient methods to isolate tumour tissue‐derived EVs are lacking, and their biological functions remain elusive.MethodsTo determine the optimal method for isolating tissue‐derived EVs, we compared the characterization and concentration of EVs obtained by three previously reported methods using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and nanoflow analysis (Nanoflow). Additionally, the differential content of small RNAs, especially tsRNAs, between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and adjacent normal liver tissues (ANLTs)‐derived EVs was identified using Arraystar small RNA microarray. The targets of miRNAs and tsRNAs were predicted, and downstream functional analysis was conducted using Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, non‐negative matrix factorization and survival prediction analysis.ResultsA differential centrifugation‐based protocol without cell cultivation (NC protocol) yielded higher EV particles and higher levels of CD9+ and CD63+ EVs compared with other isolation protocols. Interestingly, the NC protocol was also effective for isolating frozen tissue‐derived EVs that were indistinguishable from fresh tissue. HCC tissues showed significantly higher EV numbers compared with ANLTs. Furthermore, we identified different types of small RNAs in HCC tissue‐derived EVs, forming a unique multidimensional intercellular communication landscape that can differentiate between HCC and ANLTs. ROC analysis further showed that the combination of the top 10 upregulated small RNAs achieved better diagnostic performance (AUC = .950 [.895–1.000]). Importantly, most tsRNAs in HCC tissue‐derived EVs were downregulated and mitochondria‐derived, mainly involving in lipid‐related metabolic reprogramming.ConclusionThe NC protocol was optimal for isolating EVs from HCC, especially from frozen tissues. Our study emphasized the different roles of small‐RNA in regulating the HCC ecosystem, providing insights into HCC progression and potential therapeutic targets.
Sexy fingers: Pheromones in the glands of male dendrobatid frogs

AbstractMany animals exchange chemicals during courtship and mating. In some amphibians, sexual chemical communication is mediated by pheromones produced in male breeding glands that are transferred to the female's nostrils during mating. This has been mostly studied in salamanders, despite frogs having similar glands and courtship behaviours suggestive of chemical communication. In Neotropical poison frogs (Dendrobatidae and Aromobatidae), males of many species develop breeding glands in their fingers, causing certain fingers to visibly swell. Many also engage in cephalic amplexus, whereby the male's swollen fingers are placed in close contact with the female's nares during courtship. Here, we investigate the possible roles of swollen fingers in pheromone production using whole‐transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq). We examined differential gene expression in the swollen versus non‐swollen fingers and toes of two dendrobatid species, Leucostethus brachistriatus and Epipedobates anthonyi, both of which have specialised mucous glands in finger IV, the latter of which has cephalic amplexus. The overwhelming pattern of gene expression in both species was strong upregulation of sodefrin precursor‐like factors (SPFs) in swollen fingers, a well‐known pheromone system in salamanders. The differentially expressed SPF transcripts in each species were very high (>40), suggesting a high abundance of putative protein pheromones in both species. Overall, the high expression of SPFs in the swollen fingers in both species, combined with cephalic amplexus, supports the hypothesis that these traits, widespread across members of the subfamilies Colostethinae and Hyloxalinae (ca. 141 species), are involved in chemical signalling during courtship.

Published: July 2024

AbstractGeneralist plant‐feeding insects are characterised by a broad host repertoire that can comprise several families or even different orders of plants. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the use of such a wide host range are still not fully understood. Earlier studies indicate that the consumption of different host plants is associated with host‐specific gene expression profiles. It remained, however, unclear if and how larvae can alter these profiles in the case of a changing host environment. Using the polyphagous comma butterfly (Polygonia c‐album) we show that larvae can adjust their transcriptional profiles in response to a new host plant. The switch to some of the host plants, however, resulted in a larger transcriptional response and, thus, seems to be more challenging. At a physiological level, no correspondence for these patterns could be found in larval performance. This suggests that a high transcriptional but also phenotypic flexibility are essential for the use of a broad and diverse host range. We furthermore propose that host switch tests in the laboratory followed by transcriptomic investigations can be a valuable tool to examine not only plasticity in host use but also subtle and/or transient trade‐offs in the evolution of host plant repertoires.
Why Black Grassroots Museums Matter

Published: July 2024

AbstractNursing education holds a history framed in white supremacy and whiteness. Efforts to employ antiracist strategies have been hindered, largely due to an inability for faculty to acknowledge and hold accountability for racialized harms that occur within nursing educational structures. A nurse–midwifery program in the Pacific Northwest United States uncovered harm that impacted students and identified a need to respond and hold accountability. Guided by the framework of Transformative Justice, a truth and reconciliation process was implemented as a first step to better address racism within nursing and nurse–midwifery education. This paper describes the process to support other institutions in their work to address harms within nursing education.
Quiet quitting: Obedience a minima as a form of nursing resistance
Authors: Domingue Jean‐Laurent , Lauzier Kim , Foth Thomas 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn this article, we provide a philosophical and ethical reflection about quiet quitting as a tool of political resistance for nurses. Quiet quitting is a trend that gained traction on TikTok in July 2022 and emerged as a method of resistance among employees facing increasing demands from their workplaces at the detriment of their personal lives. It is characterised by employees refraining from exceeding the basic requirements outlined in their job descriptions. To understand why quiet quitting can be a tool of resistance useful for nurses, we first draw on Frédéric Gros' concept of ‘surplus obedience’ and Michael Lipsky's notion of ‘routines and simplification strategies’ to highlight the ethical implications associated with nurses engaging in and sustaining harmful systems, such as the neoliberal healthcare system. Leaning again on Gros, we then propose that ‘obedience a minima’, a concept akin to quiet quitting, can serve as a method of ethical nursing resistance. After describing what the concept entails, we provide a discussion emphasising the potential of obedience a minima as a one method, among many, that can be leveraged by nurses to challenge and resist a system that prioritises financial considerations over patient wellbeing. The article concludes by reflecting on the ethical nature of resistance in the context of nursing, that is the act of obeying oneself and refraining from participating in systems that are detrimental to the lives of Others.
