Abstract

Inadequate postoperative wound care is a major cause of surgical complications, including surgical site infections, wound dehiscence, and delayed healing, which leads to increased length of stay, increased costs, and decreased quality of life. Patient adherence to wound care instructions after discharge is strongly influenced by their level of understanding and health literacy, which is often low in the perioperative period. The teach-back method, a communication strategy in which patients are asked to reiterate the information provided in their own words, has been developed as an evidence-based approach to ensure understanding and improve patient adherence. This article aims to examine scientific evidence regarding the effect of teach-back education on postoperative wound care adherence through a narrative literature review of twenty-five articles published between 2021 and 2026, sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. The study results show that the teach-back method consistently improves knowledge, self-efficacy, and adherence to wound care in various surgical populations, from colostomy and orthopedic to cardiac surgery, and is associated with reduced wound complications and hospital readmission rates. It was concluded that teach-back is an effective, simple educational strategy that is feasible to be implemented routinely in perioperative and community nursing practice to improve postoperative wound care outcomes.

Abstract

Chest X-ray is a fundamental radiographic examination widely used as a first-line imaging modality for screening, diagnosing, and evaluating thoracic diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), lung disorders, and cardiovascular abnormalities. Despite its routine use, many patients have limited understanding of its purpose, benefits, and examination procedures, which may lead to anxiety and reduced compliance. This community service activity aimed to improve patients’ knowledge regarding chest X-ray examinations at the Radiology Installation of M. Zein Painan Regional Hospital. The program was conducted on December 23, 2024, using individual (one-on-one) educational sessions involving 14 patients awaiting chest X-ray examinations. Educational materials covered the definition, indications, benefits, examination procedures, patient preparation, radiation safety, and the importance of following radiographer instructions. Effectiveness was assessed using a nine-item questionnaire administered before and after the education. Results demonstrated a marked improvement in patient knowledge, with post-test scores reaching 100% correct responses for most items, compared with 36–79% in the pre-test. The greatest improvements were observed in understanding examination procedures and radiation safety, particularly the need to report pregnancy before exposure. These findings indicate that individualized patient education effectively enhances knowledge and supports better compliance during chest X-ray examinations. Although the small sample size and one-group pre–post design limit generalizability, integrating continuous patient education into radiology services is recommended to improve health literacy and service quality.

Abstract

Rapid digitalization has reshaped how young adults acquire health information, engage with health-promoting technologies, and construct daily lifestyle routines, yet evidence on the determinants of healthy lifestyle behavior in this population remains fragmented across disciplinary silos. This narrative review synthesizes findings from twenty-five peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026 to develop an integrative framework explaining the determinants of healthy lifestyle behavior among young adults in the digital era. Using a structured search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, JMIR, and Frontiers databases, studies were screened, thematically coded, and narratively synthesized across five determinant domains: digital health literacy, online health-information seeking and social media engagement, digital health interventions and mobile applications, psychological and dispositional factors, and sociodemographic-cultural context. Findings indicate that digital health literacy and purposeful social media engagement consistently predict better dietary, physical-activity, and health-monitoring behaviors, while psychological dispositions such as consideration of future consequences, self-control, and sense of coherence moderate how digital exposure translates into sustained action. Digital interventions show promise but remain constrained by low long-term engagement and limited cultural adaptability. The novelty of this review lies in integrating literacy-based, behavioral, psychological, and contextual determinants into a single multi-level model, offering researchers, educators, and public-health practitioners a coherent evidence base for designing culturally responsive digital health-promotion strategies targeted at young adults.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and one of the leading causes of irreversible visual field loss and blindness worldwide, with intraocular pressure (IOP) representing the most important modifiable risk factor. The Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS) evaluated the effectiveness of intensive IOP-lowering therapy compared with standard treatment in patients with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma. This critical review aimed to evaluate the study’s methodology, findings, validity, strengths, limitations, and clinical implications for determining initial therapeutic strategies in open-angle glaucoma. A critical appraisal was conducted of the randomized controlled trial by Bengtsson et al. (2024), published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, involving 242 treatment-naïve patients. Participants in the intensive treatment group received a combination of IOP-lowering medications and laser trabeculoplasty, whereas the standard treatment group received monotherapy. Intensive therapy achieved a significantly lower median IOP (14 mmHg vs. 17 mmHg) and reduced glaucoma progression (11% vs. 21%; p = 0.03). However, the primary endpoint, predicted lifetime Visual Field Index (VFI), showed no statistically significant difference (87.1% vs. 79.3%; p = 0.15), and the reduction in visual field deterioration was also not significant (p = 0.09). Moreover, adverse events occurred more frequently in the intensive treatment group (36% vs. 25%). Overall, GITS demonstrates that intensive IOP-lowering therapy improves IOP control and reduces glaucoma progression; however, its routine implementation cannot yet be universally recommended because of the absence of significant benefit in the primary outcome and the higher incidence of treatment-related adverse effects. Therapeutic decisions should therefore be individualized according to baseline IOP, disease severity, risk of progression, patient age, and the balance between potential benefits and harms.
