The education of medical personnel can effectively enhance compliance with nosocomial infection protocols and reduce the incidence of such infections. However, the current training provided to third-party staff is inadequate, necessitating an urgent enhancement of their knowledge on nosocomial infection through effective and tailored training programs.
 OBJECTIVES: The objective is to establish a hierarchical training system for nosocomial infection, customized to meet the specific requirements of hospitals at all levels, and evaluate its efficacy.
 METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted among third-party staff members at hospitals of different levels to assess their understanding of nosocomial infection prevention measures. Based on the survey results, a hierarchical training system was developed for nosocomial infection among the participants. After the training, a post-training assessment was carried out to evaluate the participants' comprehension of nosocomial infections.
 RESULTS: A total of 561 third-party employees participated in the baseline hospital infection knowledge questionnaire. The baseline findings unveiled disparities in the extent to which third-party staff members across various tiers of medical institutions have mastered their knowledge on nosocomial infections. After undergoing hierarchical training, the deficiencies of hospitals at all levels have been rectified, thereby effectively enhancing the level of knowledge regarding nosocomial infections among third-party personnel. The results of multivariate analysis indicate that individuals with limited work experience should enhance their training in medical waste disposal and acquire a deeper understanding of personal protection measures related to nosocomial infections. Moreover, infrequent annual training sessions may impede the comprehension of nosocomial infection among third-party staff.
 CONCLUSION: The knowledge of hospital infection among third-party staff at all levels of medical institutions exhibits varying deficiencies. Implementing a hierarchical training approach is a meaningful strategy that effectively enhances the level of hospital infection knowledge among these staff members.","PeriodicalId":36936,"journal":{"name":"EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technology","volume":"73 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135932985","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}

Deep learning algorithms have shown promise in accurately predicting heart disease based on medical data, including electrocardiograms (ECGs) and other health metrics. With this abstract, Specifically, we advocate for deep learning algorithm in accordance with CNNs for Deep Learning effective heart disease prediction. The proposed method uses a combination of ECG signals, demographic data, and clinical measurements Identifying risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients. The proposed CNN-based model includes several layers, such as convolutional ones, pooling ones, and fully connected ones. The model takes input in the form of ECG signals, along with demographic data and clinical measurements, and uses convolutional layers to get features out of raw data. To lessen the effect of this, pooling layers are dimensionality of the extracted features, while layers that are already completely linked to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease based on the extracted features. Training and evaluating the suggested model, We consulted a broad pool of ECG signals together with patient clinical data, both with and without heart disease. Training and test sets were created from the dataset testing arrays, and the prototype was trained using backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent. The model was evaluated using standard quantitative indicators such the F1 score, recall rate, and accuracy rate. The outcomes of experiments demonstrate the suggested CNN-based model achieves high accuracy in predicting heart disease, with an overall accuracy of over 90%. The model also outperforms several alternatives to classical techniques for heart disease prediction, including the more conventional forms of AI algorithms different forms of deep learning models. In conclusion, the proposed deep learning algorithm based on CNNs shows great potential for effective heart disease prediction. The model can be integrated into healthcare systems to provide accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment for patients with heart disease. Further research can be done to optimize the model's performance and test its effectiveness on different patient populations.","PeriodicalId":36936,"journal":{"name":"EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technology","volume":"23 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872282","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}

However, a promising solution has been found in the use of virtual reality as a tool to address these problems. Our goal was to identify the most common problems and symptoms during treatment, as well as investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality in addressing them. We also set out to determine if there are any disadvantages associated with using this system. To this end, we conducted a systematic review using a non-experimental, descriptive, and qualitative-quantitative approach. 20 open access articles were selected in the Scopus database, following established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results revealed that anxiety and pain are the most common symptoms experienced during breast cancer treatment. Regarding the effectiveness of virtual reality to treat these symptoms, differences were found: a significant impact on anxiety was observed (p < 0.001), but no significant impact on pain was found (p < 0.07). In addition, only three studies mentioned the possible presence of cyberdisease as an obstacle. In conclusion, anxiety and pain are the most common symptoms during breast cancer treatment. Virtual reality shows high efficacy in managing anxiety, but its effectiveness in pain management is limited. In addition, technological advances appear to have reduced the occurrence of cyberdisease and associated drawbacks, although little information is available in the studies reviewed.","PeriodicalId":36936,"journal":{"name":"EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technology","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104461","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}
