Abstract
Background: Because routine nursing quality indicators are not suitable to evaluate pediatric oncology nursing care, this study aimed to identify a set of quality indicators for pediatric oncology nursing care in mainland China. Method: This prospective investigation utilized a modified Delphi technique and an analytic hierarchy process. A survey questionnaire was developed using a literature review and semi-structured interviews. Fifteen invited experts evaluated the importance of potential indicators through three rounds of Delphi survey by email in 2018. The importance weight of each indicator was identified through analytic hierarchy process. Results: In the Delphi survey, the average authoritative coefficient was 0.93-0.96 for each round of the inquiry. After three rounds of survey, 29 quality indicators were identified as important nursing outcomes for assessing the quality of pediatric oncology nursing care in mainland China. The importance rating mean score of indicators ranged between 4.67 and 5.00 on a 5-point scale, and the variation coefficient ranged between 0 and 0.19. Expert-assigned indicator importance weight varied between 0.0040 and 0.0870. Conclusion: This study identified an indicator system with 29 nursing-sensitive quality indicators that may represent potential indicator candidates for quality assessment of pediatric oncology nursing practice in mainland China.

World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:3069-3077. [PMID: 35647121 PMCID: PMC9082697 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i10.3069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients tend to have poor self-efficacy and poor confidence in postoperative rehabilitation for hip fractures, and are prone to negative emotions, which affect treatment compliance.
AIM To evaluate the effects of evidence-based intervention on postoperative fear, compliance, and self-efficacy in elderly patients with hip fractures.
METHODS A total of 120 patients with hip fracture surgically treated from June 2018 to June 2020 at the orthopedic department of our hospital were selected and divided into intervention and routine groups (n = 60 each) according to different nursing methods. The basic rehabilitation methods of the two groups were consistent, but patients in the intervention group received evidence-based nursing interventions at the same time. Differences between groups in the scores of motion phobia, pain fear, rehabilitation training compliance, self-efficacy, nursing satisfaction, and hip joint function were compared before and after the intervention.
RESULTS Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in motion phobia and pain fear scores between the groups (all P > 0.05). However, motion phobia scores at 1 wk after intervention initiation (P < 0.05), and pain fear scores at 1 wk and 2 wk after intervention initiation (all P < 0.05), were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the routine group. On the first day of intervention, there was no significant difference in rehabilitation treatment compliance between the groups (P > 0.05); however, at 2 wk after intervention initiation, rehabilitation compliance was significantly better in the intervention group than in the routine group (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the scores for the two self-efficacy dimensions (overcoming difficulties and rehabilitation exercise self-efficacy) and the total self-efficacy score between the groups (all P > 0.05). After 2 wk of intervention, the scores for these two dimensions of self-efficacy and the total self-efficacy score were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the routine group (all P < 0.05). At 3 and 6 mo after surgery, hip function as evaluated by the Harris hip score, was significantly better in the intervention group than in the routine group (P < 0.05). Additionally, overall nursing satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the routine group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Evidence-based nursing intervention can alleviate fear of postoperative rehabilitation in elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery, and improve rehabilitation treatment compliance and patient self-efficacy, which promote hip function recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Infants in neonatal units benefit from dependable peripheral intravenous access. However, peripheral intravenous access exposes infants to high rates of clinically minor and serious complications. Despite this, little is known about the interplay of risk factors. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and evaluate the interactions of risk factors on the occurrence of peripheral intravenous complications in a neonatal population. DESIGN This was a retrospective observational study. SETTING The study was performed on the neonatal intensive care unit of the Women's Wellness and Research Center, Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar, as a single-site study. PARTICIPANTS This study included 12 978 neonates who required intravenous therapy. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS The main outcome was the occurrence of any peripheral intravenous cannulation failure, leading to unplanned removal of the device before completion of the intended intravenous therapy. RESULTS A mean dwell time of 36±28 hours was recorded in participants with no complications, whereas the mean dwell time was 31±23 hours in participants with an indication for premature removal of the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) (p<0.001, t=11.35). Unplanned removal occurred in 59% of cases; the overall complication rate was 18 per 1000 catheter days. Unmodifiable factors affecting PIVC dwell time include lower birth (HR=0.23, 0.20 to 0.28, p<0.001) and current body weight (HR=1.06, 1.03 to 1.10, p=0.018). Cannulation site (HR=1.23, 1.16 to 1.30, p<0.001), the inserted device (HR=0.89, 0.84 to 0.94, p<0.001) and the indication for intravenous treatment (HR=0.76, 0.73 to 0.79, p<0.001) were modifiable factors. CONCLUSION Most infants experienced a vascular access-related complication. Given the high complication rate, PIVCs should be used judiciously and thought given prior to their use as to whether alternate means of intravenous access might be more appropriate.

Abstract
A multiphase study designed with Delphi and observational components was conducted to establish the preliminary validity and reliability of the 2018 Vascular Access Complication Staging and Treatment Instrument in pediatric and neonatal populations from a single, free-standing academic children's hospital. The instrument uses objective measurement criterion to determine the severity of swelling and tissue damage to inform treatment decisions. The results of the study provided preliminary empirical evidence to support a pediatric and neonatal intravenous complication staging instrument to assess degree of swelling and severity of tissue injury. The study also offered preliminary evidence that the instrument was perceived by the nurses who participated in the study to be efficient and easy to use.

Abstract
To prepare clinicians to treat extravasation of noncytotoxic vesicants with antidotes and thermal compresses, a literature review was performed to identify noncytotoxic vesicants and to create evidence and consensus-based recommendations. The stage of injury and vesicant's mechanism of tissue injury dictate treatment. For a vasopressor extravasation, warm compresses and administration of a vasodilator are recommended. For osmolarity, pH, absorption refractory, and cytotoxic concentration-dependent vesicants, warm compresses and administration of hyaluronidase are recommended. Compared with potentially catastrophic costs of undertreatment, the cost of overtreatment is minimal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extravasation injury remains a significant preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Equipping nursing students with the requisite knowledge and skills is essential for appropriate prevention, early detection, and management of extravasation injury. OBJECTIVES To develop a technology-enhanced, enquiry-based learning program for nursing students on the prevention and management of neonatal extravasation injury and examine its impact on their knowledge, approaches to studying and experience of learning. DESIGN A pre-test/post-test study with qualitative evaluation. SETTINGS Two university pre-registration nursing programs in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS A total of 192 senior-year nursing students. METHODS A novel learning program was developed comprising 25 scenario-based video vignettes supplemented with critical-thinking exercises, discussion guides, interactive games, reading materials and a 3-hour in-class interactive workshop. Students received unlimited online access to the program. Data were collected at baseline and one-month post-workshop. Outcomes were students' level of knowledge of prevention and management of extravasation injuries and related care, approaches to studying, and experience of learning. Paired t-tests were performed on pre- post-test outcome data and individual semi-structured interviews were conducted at one-month post-workshop, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. RESULTS There were statistically significant improvements in students' level of knowledge and use of a deep approach to learning at one month compared with baseline. Students were highly satisfied with the program, appreciating the video vignettes and interactive small group discussions with academics and clinicians. Suggestions for enhancing the program included more time for the workshop, interaction with clinicians, and details on the administration of neonatal medications and dosages. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that a novel technology-enhanced, enquiry-based learning program was effective in enhancing nursing students' knowledge of the prevention and management of neonatal extravasation injury, approaches to studying and experience of learning.
