<![CDATA[The Global Trigger tool (GTT) is considered one of the most reliable methods in evaluating adverse events (AEs). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and potential of the GTT to identify AEs in clinical applications. 240 patient records were randomly selected from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of a university hospital. Patient files were retrospectively examined as 20 patient files per month in a two-year period. The records were reviewed using GTT an approach developed by the American Institute for Health Development (IHI). Percentage of hospitalizations with AEs 9,58, AEs per thousand patient days 47.81, and AEs per thousand patient hospitalizations 95.83 were found. By applying GTT, 45 cases in category E (Damage is temporary and requires intervention) and 35 cases in category F (Damage is temporary and requires hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization) were detected. CRP elevation (5/11), vaginal surgeries (3/15), and use of Dynoprostone (6/22), helped detect AEs in category E (3 cases) and category F (11 cases). GTT detected 8.3 times more AEs than VRS. The application of the GTT is feasible in Clinical practice and a reliable and effective instrument for detecting AEs when adapted to the departmental specifics. High CRP, vaginal surgeries, and the use of vaginal Dynoprostone could be used as a trigger.]]>

<![CDATA[As the first responders to forensic cases, nurses and midwifes have vital roles in conducting initial interview, physical examination, collecting and recording evidence and maintaining chain of custody. This study aims to map out the evolution of the fields of forensic nursing and forensic midwifery by focusing on the trend topics, the most active journals, top cited authors and publications, author productivity, productive organizations, journals, and countries of collaboration through bibliometric approach. To achieve this aim, we reviewed article title, abstract and keyword categories of Scopus Database using the phrase, «forensic» and «nursing» or «midwifery» and found a total of 2243 publications for the years between 1972 and 2022. As the midwifery publications in the literature are indexed within the «nursing» field, we restricted the research to «nursing» field and found 1385 publications. After removing duplications, we analyzed 1332 research and conducted visualization through ‘VosViewer’ and ‘R biblioshiny’ programmes. Best to our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis which contributes to the related literature and to forensic scientists.]]>

<![CDATA[Objetivo: Avaliar a interferência da presença do cateter central de inserção periférica (PICC) na medida da resistência (R) e reatância (Xc) em recém-nascidos pelo método da bioimpedância. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, randomizado, cross-over, no qual foram comparadas as medidas de R e Xc medidas pela BIA. As medidas foram realizadas antes e após a inserção do PICC no membro superior direito em sequência imediata. O cálculo do tamanho da amostra (55 RN) foi realizado considerando uma diferença de 10% do valor médio de R e Xc encontrado em estudos anteriores (60 e 5 ohms, respectivamente), ambos com erro alfa de 5% e erro beta de 10%. . As variáveis foram comparadas por meio do teste t pareado e foi adotado nível de significância de 0,05. O trabalho foi submetido e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: Não foi encontrada diferença entre os valores de R (721±172 vs 744±199 - p-valor: 0,085) e os de Xc (45±25 vs 40±13 - p-valor: 0,060) medidos antes e após a inserção do PICC no membro superior direito dos recém-nascidos estudados. Conclusão: A presença do PICC não alterou os valores de R e Xc, permitindo assim a utilização dessa técnica na UTI neonatal, mesmo em RN que necessitem do PICC.]]>

<![CDATA[It is important to know the experience of fathers who provide support during childbirth in terms of improving the childbirth results. This study describes the experiences of fathers who participate during their wives’s childbirth in Türkiye. The research design is qualitative and descriptive, based on a phenomenological approach. Research data were collected through online in-depth interviews between January and February 2021. The sample comprised 12 fathers, reached by criterion sampling. The two data collection tools were the Individual Identification Form and the Semi-Structured Interview Form. Content analysis of the research data was conducted using Maxqda. Four themes emerged to describe the father’s birthing experiences: “prenatal preparation”, “fathers’ birthing support”, “emotions experienced during the birthing”, and “fathers’ views of the birth”. The fathers experienced many contrary emotions during the birth process. Fathers have a positive experience from participating during their partner’s birthing process due to the midwife’s support. Fathers who want to support their partners during birth should be informed about the importance of participating in prenatal courses.]]>

<![CDATA[Overweight and obesity rates are an epidemic in the United States (U.S.) with these rates increasing dramatically in recent decades (Sogari et al., 2018). According to McEligot et al. (2020) college students classified as overweight and/or obese in the U.S. increased from 29% to 32.5% from 2000 to 2009. College is a critical time for young adults in terms of dietary choices and the relationship between students and weight gain. The purpose of this DNP project was to assess if undergraduate healthcare students in the Midwest showed poor nutritional dietary habits and showed a willingness to change their poor habits for a healthier lifestyle. The data would be used to assist the college healthcare clinic in providing proper nutritional awareness and guidance for the students. Undergraduate nursing students at a Midwest university completed an assessment tool, in the form of a 16-question Rapid Eating and Activity Assessment for Patients, Abbreviated Version (REAPS) survey that assessed their knowledge regarding nutrition and their food choices. Each question had a numeric scale (1-3) scoring system with defined results. The descriptive statistics tool in SPSS was used for analysis of the survey results. This study showed that 62.43% of the responses from undergraduate nursing students that were surveyed had poor dietary habits. 96.29% of the students that were surveyed did have a willingness to change in order to have a healthier lifestyle. Undergraduate healthcare students would benefit from increased nutritional awareness while on and off campus. The college health clinic can help promote a healthy lifestyle and decrease obesity related illnesses for students. There are numerous opportunities for colleges to promote nutritional awareness among their student body.]]>

<![CDATA[This study, conducted on diagnosed aneurysm patients, in order to test the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on blood pressure and anxiety levels in the preoperative period, was carried out in a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test application. The data of this study were collected between January 2022-September 2022 at the neurosurgery clinic on 38 patients (twenty women and eighteen men) who’ve been diagnosed with cerebral aneurysm, awaiting a surgical operation, and have other criteria to be taken into the study. Pre- and post-exercise vital signs and anxiety levels of patients receiving progressive muscle relaxation exercises for twenty minutes in the preoperative period were measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Frequency analysis for descriptive statistics, and t-test analysis for blood pressure, pulse, respiration, BAI, and VAS scores in a single group were utilized. Progressive muscle relaxation exercises in the preoperative period for neurosurgery patients diagnosed with aneurysm have statistically significant effects in reducing the patients’ anxiety and blood pressure (p<0.001). It is recommended that progressive muscle relaxation exercises be used in the clinic during the preoperative period. A clinically important finding is the positive effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on patients' vital signs and anxiety.]]>

<![CDATA[Realizing the advantages of lifestyle modification after myocardial infarction (MI) requires active lifestyle change. Sometimes patients find it difficult to follow the recommendations for lifestyle changes, which are crucial for all MI patients to implement in order to lower the risk of secondary attack. This study aimed to explore the real-world experiences of post-MI patients who had changed their lifestyles at a university hospital. This qualitative study was conducted among 20 purposively selected post-MI patients. The patients who had confirmed medical diagnosis as old MI, had been admitted to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital for more than a week, and had been willing to participate in this study were considered as the study subjects. Data was collected through an open ended semi-structured questionnaire by face-to-face interview. Using qualitative content analysis, the interview transcripts were examined at the same time as the data was being gathered. Out of 20 study subjects, 55% were male and 60% were Muslim. Participants age was ranging from 36-70 years. Two themes, namely adjustment with modified life and maladjustment with normal life emerged as the lived experiences of lifestyle modification of patients with old Myocardial Infarction. It is concluded that patients with post-MI can have both good and bad experiences during the period of lifestyle modification.]]>

<![CDATA[The aim of this study is to determine the diagnosis levels and experiences of obstetric violence, which negatively affects women, of midwife candidates. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 203 students studying in the Midwifery department of a public university who volunteered to participate in the research (Participation rate: 56%). Data were collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Obstetric Violence Diagnosis Form". Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data. The mean age of the students who contributed to the research was determined as 21.20±2.18. While it was determined that 59.1% of the students participating in the study had knowledge about obstetric violence, it was determined that the most common source of information was the internet (27.6%) and the immediate environment (13.8%), respectively. It was determined that 33.5% of the students witnessed obstetric violence. In addition, 23.2% of the students stated that obstetric violence is common in health institutions. In the light of the study findings, it was determined that the knowledge level of midwifery students about diagnosing obstetric violence should be improved. Therefore, raising awareness through improved educational models, standardizing care through the implementation of clinical practice guidelines, establishing protocols for respectful care, establishing the preventive legal basis, and promoting the humanization of childbirth will be key to eradicating obstetric violence.]]>

<![CDATA[Parents have a very important role in fulfilling the nutritional status of children. Lack of nutritional knowledge, especially in agricultural areas, influences food processing behavior so that nutritional problems in children tend to increase. This literature review aims to describe mother's knowledge, family support and risk factors for infectious diseases with nutritional status and respiratory problems in children in agricultural areas. Methods: This research uses the literature review study method with 4 databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, Scient Direct, and Springer with a range of 2019-2023. Result: The role of parents is related to nutritional status and health conditions in children. Parental education, inadequate environmental conditions, and potential risk factors can also affect the nutritional status and respiratory problems in children under five in agricultural areas. Babies born to mothers with low levels of education have a higher risk of experiencing health problems than babies born to mothers with higher education. The occurrence of ISPA in agricultural areas is caused by various environmental factors such as exposure to smoke and inadequate physical conditions of houses which can worsen indoor air quality. Potential risk factors that can cause STH infection are parental education and occupation, how to play on the ground, use of the toilet and how to wash hands. Nurses must provide support and education to people in agricultural areas related to providing nutritional intake, quality of living environment, and patterns of daily life in order to reduce problems with nutritional status and respiratory disorders in children.]]>
