Association Between Symptoms of Patients With Heart Failure and Patient Outcomes Based on Electronic Nursing Records
We examined the association between symptoms (ie, dyspnea and pain) and patient outcomes (ie, length of stay, 30-day readmission, and death in hospital) among patients with heart failure using EMRs. This was a descriptive study that was conducted from July 1, 2014, to November 30, 2017. Participants were 754 hospitalized patients with heart failure (mean age, 70.62 ± 14.78 years; male-to-female ratio, 1:1.1). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2 tests, and logistic regression analyses. Patients' average length of stay was 8.92 ± 13.12 days. Thirty-two patients (4.2%) were readmitted, and 100 patients (13....

Building a Handoff Communication Virtual Experience for Nursing Students Using Virtual Humans
Effective communication among healthcare professionals is critical to delivering safe, high-quality patient care. One important real-world skill that nursing students must acquire is generating accurate handoff communication reports. The central aim of this study was to build, assess, and revise a virtual experience simulation that allows nursing students to observe a standardized clinical situation in an immersive environment and then practice the situation-background-assessment-recommendation communication method. This between-groups experimental study, which was modified in light of COVID-19 concerns, evaluated how well...

Exploring Nursing Students' Perspectives on Telenursing Using Q-methodology
This study explored nursing students' subjective perceptions about telenursing in South Korea using Q-methodology. Forty Q-statements, which reflected the nursing metaparadigm, were extracted from 175 generated statements; then, 40 nursing students—recruited purposively through snowball sampling—ranked the set of Q-statements. The data were analyzed using the PQMethod program. Five perceptions concerning telenursing were identified: “concerns and suggestions for telenursing,” “complete support for telenursing,” “inevitable acceptance of telenursing,” “distrust and criticism regarding telenursing,” and �...

Stimulating the Involvement of Family Members in the Medication Management Activities of Older Adults Through Ambient Displays: Qualitative Study
This study aimed to understand the effect of ambient displays on the involvement of family members in the elderly's medication management. We conducted a 10-week study consisting of interviews administered weekly to nine elderly-caregivers. We identify that new involvement patterns of the family caregivers were provoked through external cues, which made them aware of older adults' medication adherence and encouraged younger relatives to help older adults.

“Shared Decision Making Assistant”: A Smartphone Application to Meet the Decision-Making Needs of Patients With Primary Liver Cancer
The development of medical technology provides medical specialists with a variety of choices for their primary liver cancer patients, including partial liver resection, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, liver transplantation, and so on. However, in this context, because patients with primary liver cancer frequently do not receive adequate information to help make complicated medical decisions, those patients, who are usually otherwise ignorant about their disease, are facing multiple difficult choices. The problem might be alleviated with a process called “shared decision making.” Accordingly, researchers devel...

Quality of Online Information Regarding High-Risk Pregnancies
This study aimed to assess the quality of online information on high-risk pregnancies provided by English and Korean Web sites. Through a Google search, 30 English and 30 Korean Web sites were selected on January 2 and 3, 2020, respectively, and assessed using DISCERN, a Journal of the American Medical Association, and Health On the Net Foundation code questionnaires. The data assessed were analyzed using descriptive and nonparametric statistical tests. Overall, the information provided by the English Web sites presented higher-quality information than the Korean Web sites. Most Web sites did not provide the sources of the...

A Mobile-Assisted Peer Assessment Approach for Evidence-Based Nursing Education
Students who learn evidence-based nursing can assist the healthcare team to make proper medical decisions and provide patients with valuable advice, thus optimizing the quality of patient care in specific situations. In clinical work, nursing staff members participate in decision making by searching for relevant empirical nursing literature, a basic ability required to enter clinical practice. In traditional instruction, nursing students are taught the Problem, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome method to learn to use library resources and gather empirical nursing knowledge for decision making. However, it is a challeng...

Toolkit for Best Practice Use of Electronic Health Record Data in Quality Improvement
This project piloted an educational intervention focused on use and management of EHR data by Doctor of Nursing Practice students in quality improvement initiatives. Recommendations from academic and clinical nursing promote the integration of EHR data findings into practice. Nursing's general lack of understanding about how to use and manage data is a barrier to using EHR data to guide quality improvement initiatives. Doctor of Nursing Practice students at a hospital-affiliated university participated in a pre-test, training, and post-test through an online learning management system. Training content and assessments focu...

Nurses' Strategies to Prevent and/or Decrease Work-Related Technostress: A Scoping Review
Although there is evidence of the impact of technostress on nurses' physical and psychological well-being, there is no clear understanding of what strategies are used by nurses to prevent/decrease work-related technostress. Thus, we aim to map existing literature that describe the strategies used by nurses to prevent or decrease work-related technostress. This review followed the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute for scoping reviews. Data analysis, extraction, and synthesis were performed by two independent reviewers. After contrasting the found literature with the inclusion criteria outlined, no studies ...
