Because of the uncontrolled seizure frequency, there may be safety risks for patients, such as falling, trauma, aspiration, status epilepticus, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of comprehensive safety projects on safety management in a pediatric EMU. METHODS: From June 2022 to May 2024, a preevaluation and postevaluation study was conducted at the EMU of a tertiary grade A children's specialized hospital in China. The intervention group carried out a unit-based comprehensive safety project, including nurse safety culture training, establishing a normalized mechanism for safety improvement, and developing evidence-based safety prevention strategies. RESULTS: The response time of paroxysmal events in the intervention group was shorter than that in the control group (P < .05). The scores of implementation of safety precautions and emergency measures in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group (P < .05). The nursing-related complications in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P < .05).

These hospitals all provide varying levels of care with CSCs being the most able to treat all types and complexities of stroke. This undergraduate nursing-led study explored the public's preference for treatment at different certified stroke treatment centers. METHODS: This study was a prospective nonrandomized observational survey of English-speaking adults at a plasma donation center in the Southwest United States. Subjects completed a 2-minute survey asking whether they would drive to the hospital or call 911 during a suspected stroke, and at which type of hospital they would prefer to be treated. RESULTS: Of 249 respondents, 204 (81.9%) indicated that they would call 911 for hospital transport, and 45 (18.1%) would drive their family member to a hospital. Most respondents (95/248, 38.3%) would prefer treatment at a PSC, 90 (36.3%) preferred an ASRH, 52 (21.0%) preferred a CSC, and 11 (4.4%) preferred a TCSC. There was no association between transportation preference and hospital preference dichotomized as CSC or PSC versus ASRH or TCSC (χ2 = 0.021, P = .885), nor CSC versus other (χ2 = 0.944, P = .331).

Self-efficacy, disease perception, social support, anxiety, and depression are determinants of self-management behaviors in individuals with chronic illnesses. There remains a gap in the empirical exploration of the influence of these factors on self-management behaviors in young Chinese stroke survivors. This study examined how these factors affect specific self-management behaviors. METHODS: Validated instruments were used to evaluate patient self-efficacy, disease perception, social support, anxiety, and depression in a cross-sectional study. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypothesis. RESULTS: Self-efficacy and social support showed a positive correlation with self-management (0.421 and 0.446, respectively; P < .001). Disease perception, anxiety, and depression were negatively correlated with self-management (-0.158 and -0.336, respectively; P < .05). The structural equation model fit the data very well; social support had a direct positive effect on self-management (t = 3.002, P < .05) and self-efficacy (t = 5.773, P < .001). However, the presence of social support had a positive impact on reducing anxiety and depression (t = -5.046, P < .001). Furthermore, self-efficacy positively affected self-management (t = 1.226, P < .05), whereas anxiety and depression (t = -1.190, P < .05) and disease perception (t = -1.068, P < .05) had adverse effects on self-management. CONCLUSION: Medical staff and caregivers can improve patient self-management by helping them recognize the disease, reducing negative perceptions, communicating more for better understanding and care, intervening in anxiety and depression, and promoting mental health.

The objective of this study was to explore the experiences and perspectives of individuals who collected SSS data from patients who were admitted to hospital for a stroke. METHODS: A qualitative descriptive approach was taken. Semistructured, audio-recorded interviews were conducted with individuals employed at 2 acute neurological inpatient units in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and written text responses were analyzed directly. Transcripts were coded line by line and then organized into 5 overarching themes: adoption, acceptance, appropriateness, feasibility, and sustainability. RESULTS: Six interviews were conducted with participants from varying roles (eg, nurses, manager, web developer, social worker, medical clerk). Participants reported that patients were receptive to completing the SSS. Follow-up phone calls provided a significant opportunity to monitor patients' recovery postdischarge. Many patients requested medical guidance and help navigating health and social resources for unmet stroke-related needs. Barriers to consistent SSS assessment included high employee turnover and lack of time, space, or capacity for follow-up. To sustain data collection, a dedicated, financially supported neurological nursing role was suggested. CONCLUSION: Participants were supportive of SSS data collection that could provide monitoring, oversight, and follow-up of stroke patients after discharge from acute care.

We aim to examine the association between environmental enrichment (EE) and health outcomes among low-grade glioma survivors who received brain RT. METHODS: The study used a cross-sectional cohort design, enrolling participants approximately 5 years from diagnosis. The construct of EE consisted of social network, physical activity, employment status, and financial stability. Berkman-Syme Social Network Index, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Vocational Index Scale, and a Socioeconomic Questionnaire were used to measure the construct of EE. Health outcome measures included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Symbol Digit Modality Test, clinical brain magnetic resonance images (pre-RT, approximately 2-3 years after RT, and approximately 5 years after RT), Karnofsky Performance Status Scale, and the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor Module. Ordinal logistic regression estimated the association between levels of EE and health outcomes. RESULTS: Thirty-nine participants completed the study and experienced varying levels of EE. The median age was 44 years old, ranging from 26 to 78 years old. Nineteen individuals were diagnosed with oligodendroglioma, and 18 were diagnosed with astrocytoma. Thirteen participants had low EE, 17 had moderate EE, and 9 had high EE. Although not statistically significant, we observed patterns of increasing health outcomes (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Symbol Digit Modality Test, and Karnofsky Performance Status Scale) related to increasing levels of EE. CONCLUSION: This study is an initial exploration into the role of EE in health outcomes and survivorship programs for persons with glioma. Future research should assess EE before treatment or at the time of diagnosis and be longitudinal to accurately ascertain the association between EE and health outcomes.

This study aimed to report the outcomes of a nurse-initiated protocol designed to prevent MADEs and align both actual and documented medication administration routes in hospitalized stroke patients with feeding tubes (FTs). METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted at a Comprehensive Stroke Center and large academic medical center in the Western United States. Adults admitted with the diagnosis of stroke between February 2022 and August 2023, who had an FT on arrival, or placed during admission, and received at least 1 enteral medication ordered for by mouth (PO) administration, were included. The protocol allowed nurses to place a communication order to a pharmacist via the electronic health record, requesting all enteral medications ordered for PO administration be changed to FT administration. RESULTS: There were 481 patients included with a median age of 68 years (interquartile range, 58-76 years). The nurse-initiated protocol was used in 170 patients (35.3%), with 99 patients (58.2%) having all enteral medication orders converted completely by a pharmacist.
