In the delivery of care nursing planning, to implement best practices is fundamental and, time is essential\u0000to reach the goal in providing care without inequalities. In the postnatal services, the combination of mother and childcare,\u0000require different approach, knowledge and practice. This special characteristic can be a challenge on organizing services in a\u0000timely manner. It is necessary to building strategies that can evaluate and reflect on the actual practices to improve changes.\u0000However, few studies, researches and surveys are showing time as a tool to organize the services. This study has as main\u0000objective to measure the nurses and midwifes time spent on patient care at postnatal ward at AWH. The specific objectives\u0000were to define the amount of time spent on carrying out N & M activities, average time spent on the care of different kind of\u0000deliveries, factors of risk (GDD, GDD, High Blood Pressure and Infections), wasted time and interruptions.\u0000Methodology: The evaluation was conducted at postnatal ward. The staff was enrolled and selected by head nurse. Criteria\u0000of inclusion: midwives & nurses that participated on the Advance Postnatal Course. For this purpose, we created an instrument\u0000of data collection: “Nurse Activities time Management”. This instrument includes patient information (mother and baby),\u0000start and finish time of patient care, interruptions and special notes.\u0000Results: we found that: 1) midwives spent different time on the patient care after normal delivery and cesarean. Cesarean\u0000Increase 2 folders time spent on vital Sign, baby care, patient discharge and admission and reduce 1 fold time spent on education;\u00002) patients having some risk factors as: GDM, GDD and MRSA increase 3-4 minutes time spent on blood sugar check and\u0000antibiotic administrations; 3) some babies’ procedures were doing separate at babies’ room: This procedures increase 3-5’ staff\u0000transportation of babies and waiting time, because the baby room is overcrowded during circumcision and Planning Family\u0000Education activities; 4) midwives are spending media of 3-4’ to open the Cerner computers, and; 5) Average of 12’ minutes\u0000of interruptions/wasted time in administrative activities, looking for papers, etc.\u0000Final Considerations: This study helps us to understand midwives’ time spent on the patient care, to enhance educational\u0000strategies to develop time management and midwives planning skills.","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75322908","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}

Male college athletes have higher rates\u0000of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Rates of anterior cruciate ligament injuries for men in collegiate in two sports activity\u0000have not been examined.

Data were collected from Sports Cultural Olympiad male\u0000students 2012-2014 and analyzed to compare anterior cruciate ligament injuries in male college soccer and volleyball athletes\u0000from the questionnaire (n=447) and through interviews with injured players. Our results indicate volleyball players are a\u0000high-risk sport for anterior cruciate ligament injury although this sport is among non-contact activity. Our study indicated\u0000that soccer has the greatest number of ACL injuries (α =1%) rather than volleyball.

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV),\u0000transmitted by sexual intercourse, is the most common venereal disease in the western world, and the main cause of cervical\u0000cancer. Two approved vaccines are recommended during puberty to vaccinate recipients before they are sexually active. Most\u0000parents decide to administer the vaccine, but some oppose the vaccine for different reasons. Various factors can affect parents’\u0000decision to vaccinate their daughters. The goal of this study was to examine Israeli parents’ attitudes and knowledge about\u0000the HPV vaccine, and the differences between them in their decision whether to administer the vaccine to their daughters. A\u0000cross-sectional study examined the knowledge, behavioral beliefs, intention-to-administer HPV vaccines, and self-reported\u0000screening behavior of 150 Jewish and Muslims parents. Results indicated a link between knowledge and attitudes toward the\u0000vaccine. The more the knowledge, the higher parents’ intention was to administer the vaccine. Significant differences were found\u0000between Jewish and Muslim parents’ knowledge about the HPV vaccine. Religious parents knew less and were less inclined to\u0000vaccinate.

At present,\u0000no effective prophylactic measures have been identified in the prevention of preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications such\u0000as intrauterine growth restriction. Therefore, proper antenatal care remains the most important part of prevention. Identifying\u0000each woman’s individualized risk can allow further antenatal surveillance to be directed to those women who are most likely\u0000to develop preeclampsia. Such care leads to early diagnosis and intervention, both in terms of maternal/ fetal monitoring and\u0000timing of delivery. In this study, uterine artery Doppler velocimetry in the mid-trimester will be analyzed, and its role in the\u0000prediction of later pregnancy complications (preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction) will be discussed. The aim of\u0000this study is to predict the risk for the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes on the basis of mid-trimester uterine artery\u0000Doppler velocimetry. Statistical analysis showed that preeclampsia occurred significantly more commonly in the group with an\u0000abnormal doppler result at 16-22 weeks of gestation, compared to pregnancies with normal doppler findings. That is 42.9%\u0000(3 out of 7) for abnormal doppler result versus 7.2% (2 out of 27) for those with normal doppler findings. However, none of\u0000the 34 evaluated cases developed intrauterine growth restriction. Abnormal uterine artery Doppler result at 16-22 weeks\u0000is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. In this study, it was well correlated with the development of preeclampsia.\u0000Hence, uterine artery Doppler can be used as a useful method for identifying high-risk pregnancies. Uterine artery pulsatility\u0000index (PI >1.45) can provide further information for the prediction of preeclampsia in order to conduct appropriate clinical\u0000interventions to avoid perinatal morbidity","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78485394","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}
