Abstract

Introduction: Emergence delirium (ED) has been commonly recognized as a critical event within the postoperative period. Yet, evidence on its prevalence and clinical implications among older adults remains limited in the current body of knowledge. Objective: The aim of this rapid review was to elucidate and synthesize existing literature related to the key characteristics of ED and its clinical implications among older adult patients in post-anesthesia care units. Methods: The Oxford’s rapid review framework, Aveyard’s thematic analysis approach, and PRISMA checklist were followed. A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2025 across four electronic databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed. Covidence software was used to assess identified primary research. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses’ Levels of Evidence was employed to appraise and evaluate the clinical relevance of the included articles. Two authors independently screened the full text records and finalized the data extraction process. Results: Of 224 records initially screened, 69 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and five met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were mainly from China (n = 4) and Ethiopia (n = 1) and classified as Level C evidence. Characteristics of ED in older adults, including its risk factors, signs and symptoms, assessment tools, management strategies, and impact on patient outcomes were narratively reported in this review. Conclusion: Emergence delirium has been found to be an independent condition that potentially influences outcomes among older adult patients. The overlapping clinical picture of ED with emergence agitation and postoperative delirium warrants areas for future scientific investigation to establish accurate diagnostic tools and management for ED to improve overall patient care delivery and outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Penis captivus is a rare, distressing sexual dysfunction characterized by involuntary vaginal muscle spasm leading to temporary penile entrapment during intercourse. While medically documented, its implications for nursing practice remain underexplored. Objective: This systematic review synthesizes evidence on penis captivus to elucidate its pathophysiology, risk factors, and management, with specific emphasis on nursing assessment, intervention, and patient education. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL (for nursing literature), and Google Scholar (2013–2023). Twelve studies reporting 18 cases met inclusion criteria. Data were extracted using standardized forms and quality assessed using JBI checklists. Results: Analysis revealed multifactorial etiology involving pelvic floor hypertonicity, psychological triggers (anxiety, trauma), and male factors (prolonged erection). Interventions, primarily reassurance, guided breathing, and positional changes all of which fall within nursing scope of practice. Nursing implications identified include acute psychological first aid, patient and couple education, coordination of multidisciplinary referrals, and long-term psychosocial support. Conclusion: Penis captivus, while rare, represents a legitimate sexual health emergency with significant nursing implications. Nurses in emergency, mental health, and primary care settings are uniquely positioned to provide immediate intervention, reduce patient distress, and facilitate appropriate follow-up. This review provides an evidence-based framework for nursing assessment and management, addressing a critical gap in sexual health nursing education and practice.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public health concern, accounting for 90–95% of diabetes cases and affecting an estimated 537 million adults worldwide, a number projected to rise to 783 million by 2045. Objective: This study aims to determine differences in knowledge and demographic characteristics among older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in two villages in Dagupan City. Methods: A total of 100 respondents completed the Filipino Version of the Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Test. Purposive sampling was employed. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were used. Inferential statistics were applied to test for significant differences. Results: The findings revealed that participants demonstrated good awareness of the risks associated with high-fat diets but had limited knowledge regarding the effects of unsweetened fruit juices and “free foods” on blood glucose control. Overall, respondents exhibited a moderate level of understanding of diabetes care. Notable gaps were identified in insulin-related knowledge, particularly in managing comorbid conditions such as influenza. No significant differences in knowledge were observed across age groups and educational attainment. However, a significant difference was found between genders, indicating the need for gender-sensitive educational approaches. Conclusion: Overall, the study emphasizes the need to identify and address knowledge deficiencies in diabetes treatment in older adults. The research highlights the importance of tailored, culturally sensitive, and gender-specific educational programs in enhancing diabetes awareness among older adults. Nurses have a key role in delivering these interventions, which could have a substantial influence on diabetes control and the quality of life for this group.

Abstract

Introduction: The transition from nursing education to professional practice is a crucial period marked by significant personal and professional adjustments. Understanding this process offers insights into the challenges, adaptations, and growth experienced by novice nurses as they begin their careers in healthcare. Objective: This study aimed to explore and describe the lived experiences of novice nurses during their transition from academic training to clinical practice, and to identify key factors affecting their early professional development. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological approach was employed. Ten registered nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and at least one year of clinical experience were selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered via face-to-face in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview guide. Colaizzi’s method was used to analyze the data, identifying significant meanings and themes that capture the essence of participants’ experiences. Results: Six themes emerged: Clinical and Emotional Adaptation, Workload Management, Confidence in Decision-Making, Transition to Autonomy, Handling Initial Hospital Exposure, and Integration into the Workplace. These themes collectively depict a complex transition process characterized by emotional vulnerability, heavy workload, and the gradual development of confidence and independence. Participants’ experiences highlighted the interaction between individual coping strategies and workplace factors, emphasizing how mentorship, workload, and organizational culture influence early professional adjustment. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the shift from student to professional nurse is not only a personal developmental journey but is also influenced by systemic and organizational factors. In the Philippine context, resource limitations and inconsistent support systems intensify the difficulties of transition, requiring novice nurses to rely on self-regulation and relational support. Strengthening structured transition programs, managing workloads, and improving mentorship are vital to supporting novice nurses, enhancing patient safety, and increasing workforce retention.
