Management of pain is a fundamental human right for everyone who undergoes any surgical procedure. Pain assessment is the initial step of pain management and involves subjective and objective (behavioural and physiological) measures. This study aimed to describe the challenges of registered nurses in assessing post-operative pain among children (0- 3 years)). Descriptive phenomenology was adopted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit nine registered nurses with experience in nursing children after surgery in Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital (Ghana). The researchers conducted an in-depth interview which was audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and qualitatively analysed following Colaizzi’s approach to descriptive phenomenology analysis. The study findings revealed that nurses have experienced several challenges in assessing post-operative pain, including inadequate knowledge, inadequate resources, structural challenges, time constraints, and child-imposed factors. Given these results, nurses should make opportunities to enhance their skills and utilize evidence-based approaches to formally assess paediatric post-operative pain.","PeriodicalId":91293,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"7 1","pages":"5-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48703050","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}

The treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy, Lymph node dissection, and urinary diversion. Globally, radical cystectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The most common diversion used was uretero-sigmoidostomy, accounting for 60 percent of cases. In our case series, the most common complications were wound dehiscence, hypo-proteinemia, bowel ileus, deep vein thrombosis, and electrolyte imbalance. Identification and prevention of complications associated with this procedure play a crucial role in improving survival for these patients.

A descriptive study involving 219 nursing students and 27 teachers used a self-administered questionnaire to determine the approaches of cooperative learning and perceptions of nursing students and teachers in Bamenda. The study set to assess the use of cooperative learning in Bamenda-Cameroon, identify the techniques implemented, highlight its achievements, challenges and describe students’ and teachers’ perceptions. The table of random numbers was used to obtain a probability sample of students while teachers were conveniently sampled. Data were collected using a modified Cooperative Learning Implementation Questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 20.0 at an alpha level of 0.05. Descriptive statistics was used to summarise numerical data, Correlation analysis through the Pearson Product Moment correlation test was used to test the relationship between cooperative learning and students’ achievement, while t-test was used to compare the perceptions of students and teachers on cooperative learning. The margin of error was set at P ≤ 0.05. Eventually, cooperative learning was noted to be occasionally used in Bamenda, with learning together, think-pair-share, group investigation and peer instruction identified as the methods often used.. The achievements of cooperative learning were affirmed with almost no disadvantage as the use of cooperative learning was observed to always improve students’ achievement. Both groups of respondents indicated their love for cooperative learning and willingness to implement it but did not really agree on how it was implemented. Within the perspectives of this study, it was observed that cooperative learning existed as an informal technique of education in Bamenda.","PeriodicalId":91293,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"7 1","pages":"13-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41521994","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}

Nurses, on the other hand, are the most influential group in the care of patients, which due to safety in nursing care will reduce accidents and injuries. Therefore, care methods can be a good way to implement patient safety guidelines. One of these methods is the Case-care Method that is utilized by the Ministry of Health. On the other hand, it is necessary to implement Nine patient safety solutions in health care centers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the case-care method and the implementation of Nine patient safety solutions. \u0000Methods: This study evaluated the relationship between the case-care method and the implementation of Nine patient safety solutions in Farhikhtegan, Bu Alim, Amir al Momenin Hospitals’ wards by using the standard checklists and data analyzed using correlation test and linear regression. \u0000Results: There was a significant correlation between the two variables and 31.4% of patient safety solutions were covered by Case-care Method. There was also a relationship between these two variables in the internal and intensive wards, but in the surgical ward, there was no significant relationship. \u0000Conclusion: The case-care method provides a foundation for nursing services such as patient safety and improving their quality.
