Background: Obesity in survivors of early-stage breast cancer has been associated with high disease recurrence rates and lower overall survival rates. Continuous weight gain is an indisputable phenomenon. Identifying factors at the early diagnosis and treatment phase that are associated with weight gain at 2 years later may help to develop further intervention for prevention obesity in breast cancer survivors. Method: A retrospective study was designed to review medical records of 1901 early-stage breast cancer survivors. Extracted data included demographics, past medical history, cancer treatment, tumor characteristics, BMI at diagnosis, and 24-month weights. Results: The sample had a mean age 50.3 ( + 10.7). Most of them were premenopausal, stage II and BMI ranging from 18.5 to 24 kg/m 2 at diagnosis. A majority of them received mastectomy (65.9%), chemotherapy (68.8%), radiotherapy (64.6%) and hormone therapy (63%). At 24 months after surgery, the breast cancer patients gained a mean of 0.4kg; but 21.6% of them gained 5% or more. The breast cancer survivors those who were premenopausal at diagnosis, less-than-high-school education, receiving adriamycin agent, cyclophosphamide agent, and gaining 5% or more weight after surgery had significant higher risk to gain 5% or more at 2 years after diagnosis. Conclusion: Findings from our study suggested that the premenopausal women or those who receive less formal education have higher risk to gain weight after breast cancer treatment.

Despite the importance of clinical learning, nursing students’ attitudes in the clinical environment has been a concern. Purpose: This paper reviewed the attitude of nursing students towards work in the clinical learning environment. Method: Electronic searches using scholarly databases were employed and only significant articles that met the review objective were utilized. Findings: This review revealed that there is a high rate of unauthorized student nurses’ absenteeism as majority are absent from clinical work without permission. There is also an appalling display of lateness behavior as students arrive at work after the scheduled time. Interestingly, most students are willing to carry out procedures while some are nonchalant due to the stressful and anxiety provoking tasks. Student nurses felt that there is an unspoken comparison, discrimination and disrespect displayed by their seniors and medical colleagues towards them. Conclusion: There is overwhelming evidence from literature supporting the negative attitudes of nursing students in the clinical environment. It was therefore recommended that students should be psychologically prepared in their schools before exposure to the clinical environment. There should be an effort to build students’ self-esteem and professional self-concept by the relevant authorities. Finally, to bridge the rift between inter-professionals, there is need for more social interaction opportunities where everyone will value what each member contributes to the team.","PeriodicalId":39544,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Security and Networks","volume":"4 1","pages":"54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89356735","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}

Aim: the study was conducted to compare spontaneous versus Valsalva (directed) pushing techniques at the second stage of labor on maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: Setting: Delivery Unit of El-Fayoum General and University Hospitals. Design: A quasi-experimental comparative study. Subjects: A purposive sample of a total of 100 primiparous women; 50 in the Valsalva (directed) pushing group & 50 in the spontaneous pushing group. Tools: four tools were used; structured interviewing questionnaire sheet, Apgar score, Visual analog scale, and women satisfaction questionnaire. Results: The duration of the second stage of labor was shorter (5-10 min) in a spontaneous pushing (54.0%) group compared to the direct pushing group (2.0%). Oxygen wasn't used at all in spontaneous pushing group compared to 74.0% of directed pushing group. Postpartum hemorrhage was too little in spontaneous pushing group (96.0%) compared to 36.0% of the directed pushing group. Also, all women in the spontaneous pushing group experienced mild perineal pain compared to 32.0% in the directed pushing group (p<0.001). The individual items of the VAS were significantly higher in the directed pushing group than those in the spontaneous pushing group. According to Apgar's score, there was a significant difference between the two groups during both the first and fifth minutes of birth. In the directed pushing group, a higher proportion of babies are admitted to ICU than those in the spontaneous pushing group (18.0 percent versus 10.0 percent). Conclusion; spontaneous pushing during the 2 stage of labor enhanced neonatal and maternal outcomes; whilst directed pushing was associated with an increased duration of the 2 stage of labor and risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. Recommendations: It may be recommended that spontaneous pushing during the second stage of childbirth be included in the procedure for maternal hospitals.","PeriodicalId":39544,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Security and Networks","volume":"132 1","pages":"24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88859551","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}

Injuries from falls account for reduced independence in the form of limitations of performance of activities of daily living, significant dependency for ambulation and For up to 50% of those who suffer a hip fracture from a fall, will not be able to return to their prior level of living. Serious fall injuries create a necessity to move into a setting where increased levels of care are provided. The ability to remain in the most desired setting of their own home is a critical part of successfully aging in place. According to the Centers of Disease Control, 36 million older adults in the United States suffered a fall in 2018 with 8 million reported injuries. With the expansion of the older adult population, these numbers are anticipated to inflate up to 52 million falls with 12 million reported fall injuries by the year 2030. Several countries have adopted fall risk mitigation programs for fall risk identification in primary care and community provision of fall management strategies. Traditional methods of fall risk management follow the American Geriatrics Society’s and British Geriatrics Society’s Clinical Practice Guideline. Though great strides are taken to intervene on the modifiable risk factors for falls, the risk of falls for many individuals remains. Introduction of new and innovative technologies can offer increased safety and ability to participate in functional mobility for those most at risk of falls and fall injuries. ","PeriodicalId":39544,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Security and Networks","volume":"27 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87609029","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}
