Creating conditions for good nursing by attending to the spiritual Aim To note similarities, differences, and gaps in the literature on good nursing and spiritual care. Background Good nursing care is essential for meeting patient health needs. With growing recognition of the role of spirituality in health, understanding spiritual care as it relates to good nursing is important, especially as spiritual care has been recognized as the most neglected area of nursing care. Methods Nursing research, reports and discussion articles from a variety of countries were reviewed on the topics of good nursing, spiritual care and spirituality. Key issues A nurse’s spirituality and the nurse–patient relationship are integral to spiritual care and good nursing. Conclusions There are many commonalities between good nursing and spiritual care. Personal attributes of the nurse are described in similar terms in research on spiritual care and good nursing. Professional attributes common to good nursing and spiritual care are the nurse–patient relationship, assessment skills and communication skills. Implications for nursing management Good nursing through spiritual care is facilitated by personal spirituality, training in spiritual care and a culture that implements changes supportive of spiritual care. Further research is needed to address limitations in the scope of literature.     

Comparison of the morphokinetic parameters of embryos according to ovarian reserve in IVF cycles

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of ovarian reserve and age of women on early morphokinetic parameters of embryos with a time-lapse monitoring system. In total, 197 infertile couples with poor ovarian reserve (Group 1, n?=?41), normal ovarian reserve (Group 2, n?=?59), or polycystic ovaries (Group 3, n?=?97) were included. The time from insemination to the following events were analyzed: pronuclear fading (Pnf) and cleavage to 2, 3, 4 and 5 cells. The optimal ranges for morphokinetic parameters of t5, s2 and cc2 in each group were also evaluated. In total, 1144 embryos were evaluated. Morphokinetic parameters did not differ statistically between the groups. Data were analyzed according to different age groups (20–30, 30–40,?>40). The morphokinetic parameters did not differ statistically in Group 1 and 3. In Group 2, the times from insemination to tPnf, t2, t3, t4 were significantly shorter in the younger age group than the older age group (p?相似文献
