Arjmand-Sangani M, Sharifzadeh G, Soltani N, Torshizi M. Investigating the relationship between aging perception and self-efficacy in the older adults: a cross-sectional study in Eastern Iran. BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:649. [PMID: 39090549 PMCID: PMC11295669 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-024-05231-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the global increase in the older adults population, understanding factors that impact their quality of life is crucial. The perception of aging and self-efficacy are significant factors affecting older adults health outcomes. This descriptive cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between Aging Perception and self-efficacyamong older adults individuals in Birjand city, a demographic that is rapidly increasing but under-research. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2022 to September 2023 on 400 older adults individuals in Birjand city. Participants were selected using a random sampling method from four regions, ensuring a representative sample. Data were collected through two main questionnaires: the Shortened Perceived Aging Questionnaire (SPAQ) and the General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (GSE), both validated for the Persian-speaking population. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS SOFTWARE. ARMONK, NY IBM CORP. version 26, employing nonparametric tests due to the non-normal distribution of data. RESULTS The study found a strong positive correlation between Aging Perception and self-efficacy (Spearman's R = 0.79, p < 0.001), indicating that a more positive perception of aging is associated with higher self-efficacy. The analysis also revealed that men generally reported a more positive perception of aging and higher self-efficacy compared to women. However, underlying diseases and marital status did not significantly affect the Aging Perception or self-efficacy scores. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that enhancing self-efficacy among the older adults could improve their perception of aging, potentially leading to better health outcomes and quality of life. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions that consider cultural and gender-specific factors. Further research using longitudinal designs is recommended to explore the causality between Aging Perception and self-efficacy and to confirm these findings across different regions and cultural backgrounds in Iran.

Comparative study on the impact of 'Infographic versus video feedback' on enhancing students' clinical skills in basic life support. BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION 2024; 24:779. [PMID: 39030534 PMCID: PMC11264920 DOI: 10.1186/s12909-024-05763-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for nursing students is crucial for improving patient outcomes in cardiac arrest scenarios. This study assesses the impact of infographic versus video feedback on enhancing nursing students' clinical skills in Basic Life Support (BLS). METHODS In a randomized controlled setting, 76 nursing students at Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences were divided into two groups: one received infographic-based education and the other video feedback training. Pre- and post-intervention assessments measured knowledge and skill retention using validated questionnaires. RESULTS Post-training, the infographic group showed significantly higher knowledge scores, while the video feedback group exhibited greater improvement in CPR skill performance. No significant differences were noted in pre-training assessment scores between the groups. CONCLUSION Infographic-based education enhances BLS knowledge retention, and video feedback improves practical CPR skills. This suggests potential benefits of a combined infographic and video feedback approach for optimizing CPR training outcomes, addressing a critical need in medical education.

Effects of virtual reality on pain induced by arteriovenous fistula needle insertion in patients undergoing hemodialysis: A randomized clinical trial. J Vasc Access 2024:11297298231225755.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by irreversible damage to renal function. For patients undergoing replacement therapies like hemodialysis (HD), the pain caused by arteriovenous fistula (AVF) cannulation becomes a significant aspect of their daily lives. This study aimed to examine the impact of virtual reality (VR) distraction techniques on the pain experienced during AVF needle insertion in patients undergoing HD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized clinical trial (RCT) recruited a total of 60 patients undergoing HD from the 9 Dey Hospital in Torbat Heydariyeh, Iran, between March and August 2022. These patients were then divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received distraction techniques using the Shinecon 4th Gen Virtual Reality Headset, while the control group received routine care services. To assess the level of pain experienced during AVF cannulation, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was utilized. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS20. Various statistical tests, including the Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Multiple linear regression, and independent-samples t-test, were employed for data analysis. Additionally, Cohen's d was used to determine the effect size of the intervention. RESULTS The analysis of the data revealed a statistically significant difference in the mean (SD) pain scores between the control group (7.6 ± 0.8) and the intervention group (5.1 ± 0.9) (p < 0.002 after Bonferroni correction). Furthermore, it was observed that a majority of patients in the intervention group reported experiencing moderate pain, whereas the control group experienced more severe pain. CONCLUSIONS The study findings demonstrated that the use of virtual reality (VR) was effective in reducing the intensity of pain experienced during AVF needle insertion in patients undergoing HD. Based on these results, it is recommended to incorporate VR as a routine practice in the HD department of the hospital. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study, with the code no. IRCT20180429039463N3, was registered on the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials on 28/03/2022.

Effect of protocol-based family visitation on physiological indicators in ICU patients: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2024; 24:18. [PMID: 38195443 PMCID: PMC10775482 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02396-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive care unit (ICU) patients often experience significant physiological stress. This study evaluated the effect of a defined family visitation protocol on physiological responses in the ICU. METHODS A randomized, block-randomized clinical trial was conducted on 78 ICU patients at Imam Reza Hospital between February 8, 2017, and August 8, 2017. The intervention group received protocol-based visits, and the control group continued with standard visitation. Block randomization was utilized for group assignments. The primary outcome was the measurement of physiological signs using designated monitoring devices. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, employing independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated measures analysis, and Friedman's test. RESULTS The results showed no significant differences in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, and arterial blood oxygen levels between the two groups. However, heart rate in the intervention group was significantly lower in three stages before, during, and after the meaningful visiting (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Protocol-based scheduled family visits in the ICU may reduce physiological stress, as evidenced by a decrease in patients' heart rate. Implementing tailored visitation protocols sensitive to patient preferences and clinical contexts is advisable, suggesting the integration of family visits into standard care practices for enhanced patient outcomes.
