ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this qualitative exploratory study aimed was to explore how nurses experienced and responded the COVID‐19 pandemic crisis in clinical settings develop a response model. Design Focus group interviews. Methods Thirteen focus interviews ( n = 50) with nurse leaders practicing diverse were conducted between May July 2021 South Korea. A content analysis utilised analyse interpret transcribed texts recorded Results Five main themes emerged about nurses' responses through...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) based stress reduction program tailored for healthcare and information technology (IT) professionals during coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. The 2-week program, on forest healing principles, was designed to alleviate occupational improve sleep quality. Participants (n=54; 46 healthcare, 8 IT professionals) underwent pre- post-intervention assessments using validated psychological scales physiological measurements. Results...

Nursing faculties need to develop digital competencies effectively use information, communication, and technology-based nursing education.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore Virtual Reality (VR) utilization strategies in scenario-based nursing simulation training. Method: an integrative review for the identification of VR training applied undergraduates. The existing literature searched electronic databases using RISS, PubMed, and Pro-Quest key words were "Scenario based," "Simulation," "Virtual reality," training," "Nursing." Finally, five studies analyzed. Results: All from 2016 2019. One RCT, two quasi-experimental...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of a virtual simulation case integrated into capstone design course on enhancing nursing students' skills.The utilized one-group repeated measures design, focusing 59 second-year students from researcher's university, selected through convenience sampling.The core methodology was integrate class as part course.This innovative approach assess and enhance communication skills, critical thinking, team efficacy.Measurements were taken before after...

본 연구는 만성요통환자 30명을 대상으로 PNF와 체간 운동프로그램을 적용한 다음 환자들의 통증, 기능장애 그리고 정적균형과 동적균형에 미치는 효과에 대해 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 각 군의 운동효과를 측정하기 모든 대상자는 통증과 함께 Oswestry 장애지수와 외다리기립검사를 통해 정적균형을 측정하였고, Balance 측정기를 이용하여 동적균형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 장애지수, 외다리 기립검사 및 동적균형 모두 체간운동군에 비해 PNF 군이 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 따라서 이번 연구결과를 알 수 있는 것은 PNF의 내려치기와 들어올리기 패턴이 만성 요통환자에게 효과적이라는 것을 있다. This study was conducted to compare the and Trunk Exercise Program has effectiveness on pain, disability, static dynamic balance in chronic low back pain...

Installation damage tests were performed to evaluate both damaged and undamaged geosynthetics specimens. Accelerated creep at 20, 35 50°C various loading levels determine the maximum short-term strength of geosynthetic reinforcements. The long-term performance drawn-type, warp/knitted-type junction bonded-type membranes, composite-type geogrid, strip-type reinforcement was calculated from reduction factors. total factor safety for reinforcements experimental results these factors design also...

A smart geotextile for hydraulic end-use applications, such as filtration and drainage, has been manufactured. For biodegradable prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) were fabricated using special conditioned filter plastic cores to improve their degradability. Aliphatic polyester-based PVDs showed higher tensile strengths than starch-based PVDs. Biodegradable lower properties normal PVDs, however, the magnitude of difference was not large. In terms chemical resistance biodegradation, better...

The surface of nonwoven geotextiles was modified by plasma treatment to improve their strength performance. Plasma applied polyvinyl alcohol needle-punched geotextiles, polypropylene and polyester spun-bonded geotextiles. geotextiles' tensile measured before after compare the change in properties. present experimental results show that increased treatment, with largest increase observed (more than 200% gain strength); showed a much lower (15–35% compared non-treated samples).

In this, study, the yellow clays were added to nonwoven geotextiles improve removal effects of toxic and organic components leachate solutions which are very dangerous men's health. 4 types functional manufactured with different composition clays. We applied these waste landfill fields as a filtration material tested tensile properties before/after application. Chemical biological resistances also evaluated amounts absorptions compared simply polyester geotextiles.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis, and recurrent IgAN after kidney transplantation (KT). Owing to differences in various biopsy protocols follow-ups each study, recurrence rate varies from 9.7% 46%. Although relapse rates are high, there no definitive treatment for recurrence.

Minimal change disease (MCD) is most often primary but may occur secondary to other systemic diseases such as malignancy. In MCD, spontaneous remission of nephrotic syndrome after the treatment related without steroid therapy rare.

Abstract Background and Aims IgA nephropathy is the most common primary glomerular disease an important cause of end-stage renal disease. Factors such as decreased function, persistent proteinuria, hypertension, older age predict a poor prognosis in nephropathy. Current international prediction tools for determine based on function using estimated filtration rate (eGFR) at time kidney biopsy. However, we observed differences between patients with without concurrent acute injury (AKI)...

Abstract Background and Aims Myokines secreted from myocytes are related to improving metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with diabetic (DKD) have lower irisin levels, suggesting that a low level of is risk factor for the progression CKD. However, it not well known how myokines can alleviate injury. This study aimed investigate effect TRIM33, negative regulator TGF-β1 signaling, novel strategy treat multiple complications simultaneously in...
