形成性评价法在新入职护士规范化培训中的应用研究

目的探讨形成性评价法在新护士规范化培训中应用效果。方法将2016年42名新入职护士作为对照组,将2017年38名新入职护士作为试验组,对照组实施终结性评价法,试验组实施形成性评价和终结性评价相结合的方法,比较两组护士四次出科理论和操作考核成绩和新护士岗位胜任力。结果试验组护士的出科理论、操作考核成绩及岗位胜任力指标均优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论通过对新护士规范化培训全程的观察、记录、反馈,帮助他们端正职业态度、明确职业职责、提高职业技能等岗位胜任力,促进了新入职护士规范化培训目标的完成。     

Effectiveness of virtual reality in the treatment of hand function in children with cerebral palsy: A systematic review

Study DesignSystematic review.IntroductionChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) may have limited use of their hands for functional activities and for fine motor skills. Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively new and innovative approach to facilitate hand function in children with CP.Purpose of the StudyThe primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of VR as an intervention to improve hand function in children with CP compared to either conventional physiotherapy or other therapeutic interventions. The secondary purpose was to classify the outcomes evaluated according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) dimensions.MethodsA International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO)-registered literature search was carried out in August 2015 in MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC, HealthSTAR, AMED, BNI, Embase, PsycINFO, PEDro, Cochrane Central Register, DARE, OTSeeker, REHABDATA, HaPI, CIRRIE, and Scopus. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, and their methodological qualities were examined using the Cochrane collaboration's risk of bias (RoB) tool. A narrative synthesis was performed.ResultsThe 6 RCTs published on this topic provide conflicting results. Four studies reported improved hand function (2 low RoB, 1 high RoB, and 1 unclear RoB), whereas 2 studies reported no improvement. All of the RCTs reported the activity element of ICF, but no study explicitly described the effect of VR intervention based on the ICF model.ConclusionThe role of VR ti imrpove hand fucntion in children with CP is unclear due to limited evidence; use as an adjunct has some support.     

Abdominal radiograph preliminary clinical evaluation image test bank project

IntroductionLiterature documenting preliminary clinical evaluation (PCE) commonly focuses on the evaluation of musculoskeletal radiographs. Despite this, the professional body suggest that a diagnostic radiographer should be able to provide a PCE for any radiograph.MethodsAn image bank of 30 abdominal radiographs was designed comprising of 17 abnormal cases with a range of pathologies which one could expect to encounter in the emergency department (ED). Participants' were asked to select one of four taxonomies to represent their PCE for each radiograph. Participants' answers were compared to a gold standard PCE taxonomy based on the radiological report. Inferential statistics were applied to assess for any significant different in accuracy between NHS pay bands of the participants.ResultsOn average participants selected an abdominal radiograph PCE taxonomy with a sensitivity of 75.2% and a specificity of 75.7%. Whilst band 7 radiographers selected the most accurate abdominal radiograph PCE and had the highest area under curve (AUC), no significant difference was found in the PCE categorisation of abdominal radiographs by radiographers of all pay bands.ConclusionParticipants' have shown good sensitivity in recognising prominent findings on abdominal radiographs. This sensitivity is however reduced when assessing less obvious radiographic appearances, illustrating areas where additional training would be beneficial. The study provides evidence towards the consideration of an expansion of current practice regarding the implementation of a scheme of abdominal radiograph PCE. Further research with a larger cohort of participants' and a lower abnormal case prevalence would be beneficial to the limited research base.     

Evaluation of a Fluorescence-aided Identification Technique (FIT) to assist clean-up after orthodontic bracket debonding

Objectives:To compare a fluorescence-aided identification technique (FIT) with a conventional light source (CLS) for removing composite during debonding of brackets with respect to time needed, composite remnants, and tooth substance loss.Materials and Methods:Twelve maxillary models with 10 bovine teeth each were digitally surface-scanned and metal brackets were bonded on each tooth with Opal Seal and Opal Bond. Two operators: an experienced orthodontist (A) and an undergraduate student (B) received six models each and were asked to remove the composite remnants with a tungsten carbide bur and Sof-Lex discs by both a conventional light source (CLS group, n = 3), and fluorescent inducing light (FIT group, n = 3). The time taken was recorded, and a postoperative scan was digitally superimposed on the preoperative scan to quantify number of teeth with composite remnants and volume and thickness of enamel loss and composite remnants. Chi-square test and independent t-tests were performed to compare methods with a significance level of 5%.Results:Compared to CLS, both operators needed significantly less time when using the FIT method and degree of enamel loss, height, and volume of composite remnants and total remaining composite remnants were significantly reduced. By FIT, the volume of enamel loss was significantly reduced for operator A only. Operator B removed the same enamel volume with either method.Conclusions:Cleanup after orthodontic debonding with the FIT was superior regarding time needed and removal of composite remnants. Total enamel loss reduction was operator-dependent.     

知信行评价体系对初产妇产褥期母婴照护能力的影响

目的 构建初产妇知信行评价体系并探讨其对初产妇产褥期母婴照护能力的影响。 方法 选取2017年2月-2018年2月在我院产科分娩的120例初产妇为研究对象,采用随机数字表法将其分成研究组和对照组,每组各60例;对照组采取常规护理和健康宣教,研究组应用知信行评价体系,比较2组产褥期健康知识水平及母婴照护能力。 结果 干预4周后,研究组产褥期一般知识、新生儿护理知识及母乳喂养知识水平均高于对照组(t=8.373,P<0.001; t=9.495,P<0.001; t=13.946,P<0.001);产褥期母婴照护行为能力高于对照组。 结论 应用知信行评价体系对初产妇开展针对性干预,有助于提升产妇的康复知识水平及新生儿照护知识和技能,保障母婴安全,具有重要社会价值和临床意义。
