The purpose of this study was to explore the quality of life of children in Korea with type 1 diabetes and related factors.

Children were recruited from a diabetes camp. Data were collected using four instruments: the PedsQL™ 3.2 Diabetes Module, Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Self-Management, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children, and the Diabetes Management Behavior Scale.

Children who were older (t = 2.197, p = .041), male (t = −3.579, p = .002), and less depressed (t = −2.859, p = .010) were more likely to have better quality of life.

Further research is needed in children with type 1 diabetes in countries where this disease is rare, and governmental support and public awareness are limited.

This study tested the efficacy of a nurse-led discharge planning program for childhood asthma management, based on transition theory.

A quasi-experimental design was used. The sample comprised 120 children with asthma and their parents (intervention group n = 60, control group n = 60).

The asthma management self-efficacy perception level of parents in the intervention group increased significantly and the number of triggers their children were exposed to at home was reduced by 60.8%. The rates of admission to emergency departments and unscheduled outpatient visits were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group.

Transition theory-based nursing interventions can provide successful outcomes on childhood asthma management.

Transition theory-based discharge planning program can guide nursing interventions to standardize care of the child with asthma. Combining care at home with hospital care strengthens ongoing qualified asthma management.

To identify the interventions provided by advanced practice nurses to older people in different contexts with standardized nursing language.

This is a qualitative study. Content analysis was applied to the texts of experimental research papers about advanced practice nursing for older people. Deductive coding through the Nursing Intervention Classification was carried out.

Seventy-three interventions codified with the Nursing Intervention Classification were extracted, mainly related to the behavioral and healthcare system domains, which could be explained due to the need for improving the psychosocial functioning and self-care of these patients to preserve their quality of life.

Advanced practice nurses interventions can be better described, reported, and analyzed along different contexts with standardized languages.

Identificar las intervenciones realizadas por las enfermeras de práctica avanzada a personas mayores en diferentes contextos de atención con lenguajes estandarizados.

Se trata de un estudio cualitativo. Se aplicó análisis de contenido a los textos de estudios experimentales sobre enfermería de práctica avanzada en población mayor y se llevó a cabo una codificación deductiva con las intervenciones de la Clasificación de Intervenciones de Enfermería.

Se extrajeron setenta y tres intervenciones codificadas con la Clasificación de Intervenciones de Enfermería, mayormente pertenecientes a los campos Conductual y Sistema Sanitario, lo que podría explicarse por la necesidad de mejorar el funcionamiento psicosocial y de auto-cuidado de este tipo de pacientes, para preservar su calidad de vida.

Las intervenciones de las enfermeras de práctica avanzada pueden ser descritas, referidas y analizadas en diferentes contextos con lenguajes estandarizados.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of using case studies and simulated patients in teaching students to plan their nursing care.

The study sample consisted of 70 second-year nursing students. Study data were collected using a questionnaire and by evaluating students' nursing care plans.

The highest percentages of diagnoses identified were altered oral mucous membrane, ineffective breathing pattern, disturbed sleep pattern: less than body requirement, impaired tissue integrity, pain, and risk for infection.

The use of simulated patients in nursing education appears to help students evaluate realistic medical cases and clinical problems, and plan their nursing care.

Çalışmanın örneklemini, hemşirelik ikinci sınıfında okuyan 70 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın verileri, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan soru formu ve öğrencilerin hazırladıkları bakım planları ile toplanmıştır.

Öğrencilerin en fazla belirledikleri hemşirelik tanıları Oral Mukoz Membranda Değişim, Etkisiz Solunum Örüntüsü, Uyku Biçiminde bozulma, Beslenmede Değişim: Gereksinimden Az, Doku bütünlüğünde Bozulma, Ağrı ve Enfeksiyon Riski'dir.

Hemşirelik eğitiminde simüle hastaların kullanımının, öğrencilerin gerçeğe en yakın tıbbi durumları, klinik problemleri değerlendirebilmelerine ve hemşirelik bakımını planlamalarına katkı sağladığı düşünülmektedir.

The purpose of the study is to determine the injury risk behaviors and home safety measures in children with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder.

The study sample included mothers of 100 children between the ages of 2 and 12 years.

There was a significant difference between the home safety measures and the children's ages, the birth order of the children, and the mother's and father's ages. There was not a significant relationship between the children's ages, diagnosis, and Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC). There is a positive correlation between the total score of the Home Safety Measures Control List and IBC.

The study aims to validate nursing outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) related to the nursing diagnosis of impaired tissue integrity (00044) in adults with pressure ulcer (PU).

It was a consensus validation study using the focus group technique. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and NOCs that obtained 100% consensus were considered validated.

Of the 16 NOCs evaluated, nine were validated.

The NOCs validated may identify the effectiveness, impact, and quality of interventions, making it possible to maintain or change the care planning of PU patients.

This work may serve to contribute to the future development of NOC, making it possible to evaluate the outcomes of PU patients in terms of the interventions performed in nursing practice.

Os resultados NOC validados podem identificar a efetividade, o impacto e a qualidade das intervenções, possibilitando manter ou alterar o planejamento da assistência de pacientes com UP.

Este trabalho pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento futuro da NOC, tornando possível avaliar os resultados de pacientes com UP em resposta às intervenções realizadas na prática de enfermagem.

The present study was conducted with the aim of clarifying and reducing the semantic ambiguities around the concept of professionalism.

The concept analysis method of Walker and Avant was used.

The analysis demonstrated that professionalism in nursing consists of three main pillars: principles of care, communication, and ethics.

Given that the process of professionalism in nursing may have positive outcomes for the nurse, the nursing profession, and the health system of the community, these items have been attended to.

The present concept analysis can open the way to conducting more extensive research and devising tools to identify the barriers, facilitators, and administrative arrangements by clarifying the concept.

The aim was to investigate and evaluate validity and reliability of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) in Turkey.

A cross-sectional study design was used. Fifty-nine patients in an intensive care unit for longer than 24 hr were included in this study.

Cronbach's alpha coefficient indicated that the ICDSC was a reliable test with high internal consistency (specialist nurse min: 0.720, max: 0.855; primary nurse min: 0.728, max: 0.830). The sensitivity and specifity were high.

The findings showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the ICDSC are high for Turkish patients.

The ICDSC provides fast and effective evaluations of the patients for delirium. So, ICDSC may be easily integrated into routine nursing practice.

Yoğun Bakım Deliryum Kontrol Ölçeği (YBDKÖ)'nin Türkiye için geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin belirlenmesidir.

Kesitsel çalışma dizaynının kullanıldığı bu çalışmada, yoğun bakımda 24 saatten uzun süreli kalan 59 hasta araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir.

Cronbach alfa katsayısı, yüksek iç tutarlılık katsayısı ile YBDKÖ'nin güvenilir bir test olduğunu gösterdi (uzman hemşire min: 0.720, max: 0.855, primer hemşire min:0.728, max:0.830). Sensivite ve spefisite yüksek bulunmuştur.

Araştırmadan elde ettiğimiz bulgular Türk hastalar için YBDKÖ'nin sensivite ve spesifitesinin yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.

YBDKÖ, hastaların deliryum yönünden hızlı ve etkili bir şekilde değerlendirilmesini sağlayacaktır. Bu nedenle YBDKÖ rutin hemşirelik uygulamalarına kolaylıkla entegre edilebilir.
