Introduction: Implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) is beneficial for the patients as they can receive the best available treatment while improving the reputation of the profession. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers towards EBP among physiotherapists serving in Sri Lankan government hospitals. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a convenient sampling method among 264 physiotherapists in thirty-nine government hospitals in Sri Lanka between 18th November 2019 and 23rd December 2019. A pre-tested, validated, and self-administered questionnaire with twenty-six items was categorized into four main parts. These included demographic data of the participants (seven items), their knowledge (six items), attitudes (five items), and perceived barriers towards EBP (eight items). The responses under attitudes and knowledge sections were scored using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0-4, with higher scores indicating favourable results. Based on the sum of marks obtained for the attitude part, subjects were categorized as; negative (0-7), neutral (8-15), and positive (16-24) attitudes. Based on the sum of the marks obtained for the knowledge part, subjects were categorized as; poor (0-6), average (7-13), and good (14-20) knowledge. Data analysis was done using the statistical software Minitab version 2018. Results: Among the participants, 1.5% had a poor level of knowledge, 22.7% had an average level of knowledge, and 75.8% had good knowledge regarding EBP. Attitudes toward EBP were positive among 87.9% of participants while 11.7% had neutral attitudes, and 0.4% had negative attitudes. The common perceived barriers to practice EBP were, lack of time, research skills, information resources, and interest towards EBP. Conclusion: A selected sample of government physiotherapists in Sri Lanka had positive attitudes and good knowledge towards EBP and are inclined to incorporate evidence into their clinical practice.

Hostility and aggressiveness can be a marker of individual psychological vulnerability to stressors leading to reduced social adjustment and the risk of mental disorder manifestation. The aggressive tendencies prevalence is believed to be high among people living with HIV. With an increase in the incidence of HIV infection, the number of HIV-positive patients with concomitant mental disorders is increasing.Aim: to evaluate the intensity and the structure of aggressive tendencies in HIV-infected persons with concomitant mental disorders. Material and Methods. 78 HIV-positive persons and 24 HIV-negative psychiatric patients. The Bass-Darkie Aggressive Level Questionnaire (BDHI) and Short Psychiatric Assessment Scale (BPRS) were used. Nonparametric statistics, dispersion analysis was performed with p≤0.05, Cohen’s d calculated (effect size).Results. We examined 102 people, 51 (50.0%) men, 51 (50.0%) women, the average age — 35.5 ± 9.7 years. 58 (74.4%) HIV-infected respondents had mental disorders. HIV-positive persons with schizophrenia had higher values of most aggressive tendencies (p<0.05) in the group of HIV-infected subjects. In comparison with HIV-negative patients, HIV-positive persons with schizophrenia had higher mean values of «Physical aggression» (p<0.001, Cohen’s d=1.0), «Verbal aggression» (p <0.001, Cohen’s d = 1, 0), and «Aggressiveness» (p=0.004, Cohen’s d=0.86). 4B clinical stage of HIV infection was associated with higher scores of «Physical aggression», «Indirect aggression», «Verbal aggression», «Negativism», «Aggressiveness» (p<0,05).Conclusion. The study findings contribute to the understanding of the features of aggressive tendencies in HIV-positive persons and call for further research to improving the quality and personalization of medical care for patients with concomitant mental disorders.

In order to study the point of view of doctors supervising patients with dementia regarding the methods and tactics of treating diseases that occur with severe cognitive impairment, their experience in the use of drugs and criteria for choosing a drug for long-term treatment of dementia, an online survey of 197 specialists was conducted.The majority of Russian physicians surveyed prefer basic therapy for dementia, while the main criteria for choosing a drug for long-term therapy are effectiveness and safety of the drug. Despite the absence of drugs capable of complete curing of dementia, Russian doctors have certain expectations and goals when prescribing therapy, in particular, the hope for the longest possible preservation of the quality of life and capacity of patients, as well as slowing down the progression of the disease. 90% of respondents consider it necessary to continue (and even start) therapy even at a severe stage, despite the depletion of the effect. Memantine has become the main drug of choice in different regions of Russia as a drug with a wide range of registered indications, the fewest side effects and a low percentage of patient refusals.

Published: July 2022

As vivências relacionais cuidativas significativas surgem na interação dos adolescentes com as diversas pessoas com quem contracenam, acabando por mediar a sua própria vivência da doença oncológica. Assim, este estudo visou: Compreender as vivências relacionais significativas dos adolescentes com doença hemato-oncológica associadas ao cuidar, na fase diagnóstica. Uma investigação empírica de tipo qualitativo, de cariz fenomenológico interpretativo (método processual de Giorgi). Foram entrevistados 9 adolescentes portugueses, em tratamento oncológico.
Da estrutura essencial das vivências, obtida de forma indutiva, evidenciam-se 4 dimensões experienciais: Relacionando-se com pessoal hospitalar; Mantendo relação com amigos; Valorizando apoio familiar e Valorizando relação com outras pessoas. Nas relações cuidativas enfermeiro-adolescente, este valoriza: proximidade, envolvimento do enfermeiro no cuidado prestado, apoio, boa disposição; disponibilidade para dialogar; e o encorajamento para enfrentar e superar a doença.
Os enfermeiros devem encorajar os adolescentes a partilhar emoções e expetativas, com vista a integrar, progressivamente e pró-ativamente, a doença, não descurando especificidades individuais nas vivências.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myelofibrosis (MF), significantly impact patients’ quality of life (QoL). The symptom burden assessment and continuous monitoring using the MPN Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-10) allows detecting symptomatic changes that may be signs of disease progression and can be used as an indicator of the need to reassess disease progression and/or therapeutic approach.

Methods: Prospective multicenter registry of Portuguese MPN patients, including patients’ demographics and clinical characterization, and disease symptomatic burden based on MPN-10.

Results: Overall, 324 patients were included, male to female ratio 0.7:1, median age 71 years old, median disease duration >3 years. Most patients had ET (63%), 24% PV, and 13% MF. Around 70% were being treated with hydroxyurea, 31% were on recommended low-dose aspirin, 9% needed phlebotomy, 4% received ruxolitinib, and <2% interferon. Most reported symptoms include fatigue, inactivity, itching, and concentration problems. PV and ET patients’ total symptom score significantly improved from baseline until last follow-up visit. The itching had a significant improvement over baseline for PV patients, as did fatigue,
inactivity, concentration problems, and night sweats in ET patients.

Conclusions: The systematic application of the MPN-10 led to a more in-depth knowledge of patients and their symptoms, which, together with analytical changes, motivated therapeutic readjustments that led to QoL gains. Future analysis of this cohort should be conducted to refine these results.

A The use of LCD projector as one of the supports media for teaching, and learning activity has been commonplace in the world of education today, for example at the University of Trunojoyo Madura. During this time, the LCD projector is very helpful in the learning process, especially for presentations and others. The LCD projector also very well utilized with the limitations of the remote, often the projector must be turned on manually, by hand or by using a long stick. For a long time, if this continues and is often done it can cause damage to the projector and can disrupt the teaching and learn process in the room. The solution in this case is to make a simulation tool and projector controller application that functions to turn on, turn off, kmow the slope and adjust the direction of movement on the projector. Furthermore, this application can be embedded on mobile devices, especially Android-based mobile phones. This tool uses the Bluetooth module, Arduino as a media connection between Android and Arduino. With the use of the application, it is expected to be implemented to avoid damage to the projector which is too often used manually and certainly will greatly assist the teaching and learn process, especially at the University of Trunojoyo, Madura.

The system can maintain its synchronization under a transient condition. The transient stability system can be evaluated using the critical trajectory method by calculating the Critical Clearing Time (CCT). The advantage of using a critical trajectory method is that the CCT can be found directly and more accurate than the time domain simulation method. This paper proposed the addition of Supercapacitor Energy Storage (SCES) and damping to enhance the transient stability on multi machine system. SCES is an electrical energy storage device that quickly stores and supplies large amounts of electricity, while damper winding damp the oscillations during unstable steady state conditions. Within the addition of SCES and damping in the system, the stability will last longer than before. The stability system is seen by the extended CCT. Furthermore, multi-machine to infinite bus used to validate the proposed method. The test system also includes the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) and the governor

This study intended to explore and understand the academic experiences of senior high school students studying English in a distance modular approach. The researchers investigated the academic experiences, the challenges encountered, the techniques in facing challenges, and the suggestions in addressing the challenges. The four Grade 12 SHS learners of General Santos City National High School, one representing each track: Academic, TVL, Sports, and Arts and design, were the participants of this study who were selected through purposive sampling. The current qualitative inquiry is phenomenological in nature. The data were interpreted through coding, categorizing, and conceptualizing. It revealed that the academic experiences of the senior high school students are categorized into two themes; 1. Learners’ Learning Preferences and Time Management and 2. Learners’ Difficulty in Learning English. The learners experienced difficulty in understanding and comprehending lessons in English subjects. The findings also showed the learners’ learning preferences and the techniques employed in time management like the time blocking method. The challenges were the learners’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation specifically rooted from being unmotivated and lacking parental support in tackling their learning difficulty; learners' learning preferences and time management specifically identifying their lack of time management technique; learning environment at home that shows unstable network connection and inability to allocate specific time for school work and chores; and learners' difficulty in learning English that shows the difficulty in understanding and comprehending lessons in English subjects.
