A stochastic contact network model for assessing outbreak risk of COVID-19 in workplaces.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically shifted the way people work. While many businesses can operate remotely, a large number of jobs can only be performed on-site. Moreover as businesses create plans for bringing workers back on-site, they are in need of tools to assess the risk of COVID-19 for their employees in the workplaces. This study aims to fill the gap in risk modeling of COVID-19 outbreaks in facilities like offices and warehouses. We propose a simulation-based stochastic contact network model to assess the cumulative incidence in workplaces. First-generation cases are introduced as

Analysis of the Effect of Holistic Nursing in the Operating Room Based on PDCA and Evidence-Based Nursing in the Otorhinolaryngology Operating Room: Based on a Retrospective Case-Control Study.

OBJECTIVE: Based on a retrospective case-control study, this study aims to explore the effect of holistic nursing in operating room based on PDCA (plan, do, check, and action) process and evidence-based nursing (EBN) in a ear, nose, and throat operating room. METHODS: About 200 patients who underwent otorhinolaryngology surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to September 2021 were enrolled. According to the difference of nursing mode, patients were assigned into a control group and study group; holistic nursing in operating room was included in control group, and holistic nursing in the op

Twin transfusion syndrome.

Twin transfusion syndrome (TTS) is a rare, yet frequently fatal, complication of twin gestations. Recently published data demonstrate a reduction in the perinatal mortality rate associated with TTS from nearly 100% to 20-40%. This article explains the pathophysiology of TTS, newly described treatments, complications, and specific aspects of nursing care for patients with this complication of multiple gestation.

The practice-based small group learning approach: making evidence-based practice come alive for learners.

This paper reports the study of a pilot learning programme for the Continuing Professional Development of Practice Nurses (PNs) in Scotland. Two PN groups used the practice-based small group (PBSG) approach to learning, which is designed to encourage learning relevant to patient problems faced in day-to-day practice. Learners kept a log of their experiences of engaging in PBSG learning for three consecutive meetings. Data was also collected through interviews. The findings detail the motivation for joining the PBSGs, group dynamics and the development of cohesion, factors influencing participa

Exploring students' cognitive interactions with their past and future learning experiences during professional socialisation: A focused ethnographic study.

BACKGROUND: Becoming a professional is a complex psychosocial learning process usually framed in a period of formal education. The social-relational dimension of students' learning has been predominantly examined with a view of learning as a linear socialisation process. However, the underlying cognitive mechanisms that make learning a temporally dynamic process are underexplored. AIMS: To explore the complex cognitive mechanisms by which nursing students mentally interact with past and future learning experiences during their professional socialisation. DESIGN: A focused ethnographic study.

Experience of adapting and implementing an evidence-based nursing guideline for prevention of diaper dermatitis in a paediatric oncology setting.

BACKGROUND: Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems in children often caused by irritants that promote skin breakdown, such as moisture and faecal enzymes. It has been estimated that the incidence of diaper dermatitis is as high as 50% in children receiving chemotherapy. The scientific literature suggests a variety of preventative measures, but only a minority are systematically tested and supported by clinical evidence. AIM: The purpose of this paper is to adapt and implement a skincare guideline to better prevent diaper dermatitis in the paediatric oncology population. ME

Identification and treatment of poison ivy dermatitis.

Poison ivy dermatitis is an acute self-limiting problem of two or three weeks' duration that can cause significant discomfort. Poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac cause more cases of allergic contact dermatitis than all the other contact allergens combined. Treatment of poison ivy dermatitis depends on the severity of the reaction. The nurse practitioner can manage the majority of poison ivy cases. However, if there is systemic involvement, a physician consultation is necessary. The patient can best be assisted by assessing the severity of the dermatitis, prescribing an appropriate support

A Watson-Based Mentorship Programme for New Nurses: A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study.

BACKGROUND: Mentorship programmes are widely used to support the professional transition of newly employed nurses; however, evidence regarding their effectiveness in developing countries remains limited. AIM: This study aimed to examine the effects of a mentorship programme based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring on new nurses' transition experience, job satisfaction and intention to leave, and to explore the experiences and perceived benefits of both mentor and mentee nurses. METHODS: This study employed a longitudinal multiphase explanatory mixed-methods design. The study was conducted be

The influence of stress perception on mobile phone addiction tendency in nursing undergraduates: the mediating role of self-control and the moderating role of psychological capital.

BACKGROUND: Nursing students face significant pressure due to academic burdens and clinical demands, which may increase their risk of mobile phone addiction. Mobile phone addiction impairs students’ psychosocial functioning and can lead to depression, anxiety, loneliness, inattention, and other adverse mental and physical health outcomes. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by examining how stress perception, self-control, and psychological capital interact to influence mobile phone addiction among nursing undergraduates, a population uniquely exposed to high academic and emo

Barriers and facilitators to addressing sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity among nursing home residents: a qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: Sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity contribute to muscle-related decline (e.g., sarcopenia), chronic disease and disability. This study aims to (1) explore nursing home residents' and staff's perspectives and experiences regarding interventions addressing sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity; (2) refine a Theory of Change logic model for such interventions in nursing homes. METHODS: An exploratory qualitative study design. In-person interviews with 14 residents and 12 staff members at two urban nursing homes in China. Data were analysed applying codebook thematic an

Head Nurse Digital Leadership and Staff Nurse-GenAI Collaboration in Chinese Hospitals: The Mediating Role of Digital Self-Efficacy and the Moderating Role of Nurse Perceived Job Autonomy.

AIMS: To examine how head nurse digital leadership is associated with staff nurse-generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) collaboration, specifically exploring the mediating role of digital self-efficacy and the moderating role of nurse perceived job autonomy. BACKGROUND: GenAI is shifting nursing practice from solo task execution to active nurse-AI collaboration. While digital leadership is theorised to facilitate this transition, the specific mechanisms and boundary conditions, particularly in the context of Chinese tertiary hospitals, remain insufficiently explored. METHODS: A time-lag
