This study aims to determine the effect of aromatherapy with Citrus aurantium essential on pain after orthopedic surgery. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on 60 candidates for orthopedic surgery. Patients were selected through convenience sampling and divided into intervention and control groups through randomized block allocation. If the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was above 3, patients in the intervention group received aromatherapy with C. aurantium essential and the patients in the control group received a placebo (almond oil). VAS was used to measure pain. Data analysis was performed using independent t test, paired t test, and analysis of variance with repeated measures using SPSS software version 13. Results: Mean (SD) of pain intensity after intervention in experimental and control groups within 4, 8, and 12 hours after surgery was 7.30 (1.23) vs. 7.90 (0.99), 5.30 (0.98) versus 5.53 (0.68) and 2.53 (0.9) vs. 3.60 (0.77) respectively. The findings indicated that there was a significant difference in mean pain intensity between the experimental and control groups at 4 and 12 hours after surgery. Use of analysis of variance with repeated measures test with taking into account the interaction of time and group also showed a significant difference in mean pain intensity between the two experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Aromatherapy with Citrus aurantium essential can be effective in reducing mild to moderate pain after orthopedic surgery. Further studies are recommended to confirm this finding.","PeriodicalId":15317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Caring Sciences","volume":"12 2","pages":"116-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/e7/a8/jcs-12-116.PMC10352639.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9842417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iran is a country with an abundant source of medicinal plants. This study aimed to investigate ginger extract ointment’s effects on the pain and recovery of episiotomy incisions in nulliparous women. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in a public hospital in Iran on 70 nulliparous women with an episiotomy incision. The women were randomly assigned to ginger extract ointment and placebo groups. The primary outcomes included pain and wound healing that were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), redness, edema, ecchymosis/bruising, discharge, and an approximation scale (REEDA). The participants were followed up before discharge from the hospital and 5×1 and 10×1 days after the intervention. The secondary outcome was the number of painkillers used during the study. Data were analyzed by chi-square, independent t test, and the Mann-Whitney U via SPSS-13. The significance levels were determined to be P≤0.05. Results: There was no significant difference between participants treated with ginger extract ointment and placebo in the pain and wound healing scores before the intervention, 5×1 and 10×1 days after the intervention. But, the pain intensity decreased, and the recovery speed increased clinically. Also, regarding the secondary outcome of this study, no significant difference between the placebo and intervention groups in the number of painkillers participants took. Conclusion: The ginger ointment could not significantly improve episiotomy wounds’ pain and healing rate, but it was clinically helpful. So more studies with different doses of this ointment are needed.","PeriodicalId":15317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Caring Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135542872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the information collected to-date on COVID-19, due to the complex structure of the virus, high risk of inter-human transmission, presence of asymptomatic or mildly-symptomatic carriers, and progression of the condition to respiratory distress and 5-10% mortality, the occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic can be defined as a kind of perfect storm.2 The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to its negative economic, social, political implications, has posed many challenges for the healthcare sector: dramatic increase of the need for medical staff, the cost of personal prevention and protection equipment, cost of diagnosing and treating patients, need for more intensive care unit and ventilated beds, and in the mortality rate in the community.3 Nurses, as the largest group of medical staff, spend more time with patients than other health care workers (HCWs). For many emerging diseases, there is no standard treatment, and nurses have the key role in the supportive care of the patients infected with emerging diseas.2 In the critical situation of emerging diseases, all social organs, even close relatives and the patient’s family, distance themselves from the patient, and it is the duty of the medical staff to take care of the patient despite the dangers that exist for them. 50% of those who died in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic were HCWs who became infected in hospital through caring of the infected patients.4 The prevalence of hospitalization among HCWs was 15.1% and mortality rate was 1.5 %.5 According to the Executive Director of the International Council of Nurses (ICN), “The fact that the number of nurses who died during the epidemic is similar to the number of people who died during World War I Is a giver. We have been calling for standard and systematic data collection on infection and deaths of HCWs, but the fact that we do not yet have accurate statistics is a major scandal”6 as the actual statistics are about 60% higher than reported.7 It is estimated that the rate of virus transmission within hospitals from patients to HCWs is about 29%.8 According to the Deputy Minister of Nursing of the Ministry of Health of Iran, more than 200 000 nurses are working in wards where patients with coronavirus have been hospitalized; since the outbreak of corona in Iran, more than 125 000 nurses have been infected with COVID-19.9 The COVID-19 pandemic makes it even more important to talk about the safety of all HCWs.

In recent years, poor care is discussed frequently in articles and newspapers, however health care providers do not have a common understanding of this concept.

Methods: The concept was analyzed using the 8-step Walker and Avant’s method. The SCOPUS, PubMed, ISI, and Embase databases were searched with the keywords \"poor care\" and \"poor nursing care\" in the titles and abstracts of articles. Of 550 sources found in the initial survey, 32 articles were finally included in the study. Results: Poor care attributes include poor evaluation, inadequate or inappropriate patient management, and delay, treating, and referring patients to other departments. These attributes are caused by antecedents of nursing workload, the complexity of patient conditions, inappropriate interactions, insufficient workforce, and educational and organizational factors. Conclusion: Poor care is a general concept that includes undesirable and unacceptable standards for receiving or providing clinical and interpersonal health services. Poor care includes eliminating planned activities or performing unplanned activities that are experienced by the patient, health care workers, or caregivers.","PeriodicalId":15317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Caring Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ac/2a/jcs-12-25.PMC10131165.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9746685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
