Using PubMed, IEEE, Scopus, and Web of Science, up to March 2024, 1005 articles were found to identify studies that reported the effectiveness of these technologies for gesture simulation in education and training on nursing and midwifery student anxiety. The inclusion-exclusion criteria were based on the PICO (population, intervention, control, and outcomes) framework. The population included nurses, midwives, and nursing and midwifery students of any kind using any virtual or augmented or mixed reality simulation training tool to perform a procedure aimed at reducing anxiety. In addition, the Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to evaluate the quality of the systematic review and the bias in the included studies. A narrative synthesis was conducted due to the heterogeneity of study designs and outcome measures. Key findings were summarized in a structured table and grouped according to the learning objective, simulating and performing procedures in an educational setting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Overall, 7 articles, involving a total of 428 participants, were included in this review.

The included studies suggest that XR-enhanced training provides a more immersive and controlled learning environment, helping students manage stress and improve procedural confidence. However, the limited number of studies, methodological variations, and the underrepresentation of mixed reality applications indicate the need for further research.

Existing research primarily focuses on pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), with limited data available from general pediatric surgery. Currently, most studies on this topic are mainly focused on PICUs, and there is a lack of research data regarding general pediatric surgery. Therefore, further research should be conducted based on this consideration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study aimed to analyze the high-risk factors for UEX in children and implement appropriate nursing strategies to reduce its incidence, ensuring clinical safety of pediatric patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A retrospective study (January 2018 - December 2023) included pediatric patients with indwelling catheters in general surgery. Exclusion criteria included mental disorders or abnormal Glasgow Coma Scale scores. Data on catheter days, UEX incidents, and risk factors were analyzed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 1977 catheter days were recorded during the perioperative period, comprising 1079 days with urinary catheters, 768 days with postoperative wound drainage tubes, 68 days with gastric tubes, 46 days with peripheral central venous catheters, and 8 days with central venous catheters. During this period, 13 incidents of UEX occurred, yielding an overall UEX rate of 6.58 per 1000 catheter days. Urinary catheters accounted for the highest proportion of UEX incidents (8/13, 61.5%), followed by gastric tubes (3/13, 21.3%) and postoperative wound drainage tubes (2/13, 15.4%). The reintubation rate following UEX was 15.38% (2/13). Further analysis identified significant risk factors associated with UEX: (1) patient characteristics: age ≤3 years (8/13, 61.5%) and male sex (10/13, 76.9%); (2) clinical management: absence of physical restraints (10/13, 76.9%); and (3) temporal factors: incidents occurring during holidays (9/13, 69.2%). Multivariate analysis revealed that UEX risk was influenced by inter-related factors, including pediatric physiological characteristics (eg, limited self-regulation capacity), suboptimal catheter fixation methods, positional discomfort during patient movement, and variations in nursing interventions (eg, frequency of rounds and caregiver education).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Unplanned extubation in pediatric inpatients represents a critical clinical complication that may compromise treatment efficacy and prolong hospitalization. Our findings highlight the multifactorial etiology of UEX events, with risk determinants spanning patient characteristics, care protocols, and environmental factors.

Smart homes are positioned to have a positive impact on older adults' health by (1) allowing new understandings of behavior change so risks associated with external events can be assessed, (2) quantifying the impact of social determinants on health, and (3) designing interventions that respond appropriately to detected behavior changes. Information derived from smart home sensors can provide objective data about behavior changes to support a learning health care system. In this paper, we introduce a smart home capable of detecting behavior changes that occur during adverse external events like pandemics and wildfires.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;Examine digital markers collected before and during 2 events (the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires) to determine whether clinically relevant behavior changes can be observed and targeted upstream interventions suggested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Secondary analysis of historic ambient sensor data collected on 39 adults managing one or more chronic conditions was performed. Interrupted time series analysis was used to extract behavior markers related to external events. Comparisons were made to examine differences between exposures using machine learning classifiers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Behavior changes were detected for 2 adverse external events (the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfire smoke) initially and over time. However, the direction and magnitude of change differed between participants and events. Significant pandemic-related behavior changes ranked by impact included a decrease in time (3.8 hours/day) spent out of home, an increase in restless sleep (946.74%), and a decrease in indoor activity (38.89%). Although participants exhibited less restless sleep during exposure to wildfire smoke (120%), they also decreased their indoor activity (114.29%). Sleep duration trended downward during the pandemic shutdown. Time out of home and sleep duration gradually decreased while exposed to wildfire smoke. Behavior trends differed across exposures. In total, two key discoveries were made: (1) using retrospective analysis, the smart home was capable of detecting behavior changes related to 2 external events; and (2) older adults' sleep efficiency, time out of home, and overall activity levels changed while experiencing external events. These behavior markers can inform future sensor-based monitoring research and clinical application.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Sensor-based findings could support individualized interventions aimed at sustaining the health of older adults during events like pandemics and wildfires.
