    Get PDF
    Diagnosing a C. difficile infection (CDI), treating patients, and managing recurrences is a complex process that lacks a complete and thorough understanding of the necessary measures to enhance patient care. This research aims to highlight the lack of diverse viewpoints in considering the issues faced in optimizing care delivery. It specifically focuses on the role of family physicians, nurses, dietitians, and clinical laboratories in managing clinical practice and healthcare system-related challenges. The incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is increasing, leading to higher healthcare expenses for patients as a result of prolonged hospital stays, diagnostic procedures, and medication usage. The reporting of CDI management in primary care worldwide is inadequate. General practitioners offer appropriate outpatient treatment for mild initial cases of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) with oral metronidazole. If a person continues to experience diarrhea even after receiving the correct treatment for Clostridiodes, it should be seen as an early indication that a recurrence may occur

    Procedural sedation and analgesia are now widely accepted as the usual approach for managing pain and anxiety in juvenile dentistry patients who are undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures outside of the operating room. Anxiolysis, a technique that integrates both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods, has a substantial impact on procedural sedation. Behavior Management Technology, a non-pharmacologic intervention, can effectively decrease preprocedural agitation, facilitate the transition to sedation, minimize the necessary dosage of sedative medicine, and lower the incidence of adverse events. With the advent of new sedative regimens and techniques in pediatric dentistry, it is important to assess the possible function of established sedatives provided through different routes, for different uses, and using new delivery modalities. This research aims to analyze and deliberate on the present condition of sedation techniques in the field of dentistry, and The role of radiology, pharmacists, and clinical laboratory teams in patient care following the delivery of moderate sedation during dental procedure

    Healthcare unit managers play a crucial role in promoting the importance of paramedics and nurses in critical care. They are responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of nurses and paramedics, as well as maintaining high-quality care. However, there is a lack of research focused on the actions and organizational strategies employed by healthcare unit managers to support nurses, as well as the specific working environments that facilitate such support. This paper utilizes a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with healthcare unit managers and nurses. The findings highlight the crucial role of healthcare unit managers\u27 accessibility to their nursing staff in promoting nurses. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of responsive support from the care unit managers\u27 superiors, administration, and managerial colleagues in creating favorable working conditions. The care unit manager\u27s own support was highly supported by the superior manager, and this support was positively connected with nurses

    Get PDF
    Neurodegenerative illnesses are becoming more prevalent in older individuals, posing a specific challenge for anesthesia. Neurodegenerative diseases occur as a result of changes in the transportation, breakdown, and accumulation of proteins. The physiological changes that occur as one ages have an impact on both the way medications are processed and the way they interact with the body in youngsters. Every day, numerous mothers and children die due to insufficient healthcare systems, where the lack of proper anesthetic and critical care services is a significant contributing factor. Pediatric nursing practitioners, particularly those specializing in caring for young adults with chronic and intellectual disabilities, are well-suited to actively engage in, initiate, and take charge of evidence-based transition planning. Pediatric-registered and advanced practice nurses have already taken on the responsibility of guiding the transition and transfer of vulnerable youths due to their extensive experience working with families, coordinating care with educational and social agencies, and their expertise in disease-specific care and self-management requirements

    An Overview New Advances and Responsibilities in Dental Public Health, Role of Nursing and Radiology Department

    Get PDF
    Professionals in the dental field believed that the promotion of oral health was an essential component of their responsibility as professionals. A patient\u27s participation in the decision-making process and educational activities, as well as the practice and evaluation of skill development, was one of their goals. In spite of the fact that the dental professionals believed that they participated in health promotion activities, they failed to make a clear distinction between disease prevention and oral health promotion. As a result of the fact that radiologists are frequently confronted with dental imaging, whether it be in relation to a specific question, such as a trauma patient, or in relation to incidental findings throughout head and neck imaging, it is more than worthwhile for them to receive additional training in this field in order to facilitate early and adequate dental treatment

    Introduction. The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly and become pandemic.  This study aims to analyze the biopsychosocial aspects associated with COVID-19 who delivered in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM). Methods. This is a descriptive observational cross-sectional study, included all pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19 who delivered in RSCM from March to December 2020. Data were collected from medical records and interviewing the subjects. Cases were analyzed for demographic, biophysical, psychological, and social aspects associated with COVID-19. Result. We collected 183 patients with suspected COVID-19, and 37 patients were confirmed for COVID-19. Most pregnant women with COVID-19 infection have no comorbid before testing positive (65%). The outcome of both mothers and neonates was good with only 2.7% of mortality. From the psychological aspects, most subjects had sleep disturbance (53%), and 1 subject admitted suicide desire. From a social aspect, we observe the source of transmission through contact history and application of health protocols, only 30% of the subjects were known to have had contact with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19, and most of the subjects followed health protocol (72.2%). Conclusion. The most common method of delivery was a cesarean section, with good clinical outcomes.  Neonatal outcomes also had good clinical outcomes with most of the PCR results being negative. From the psychological aspects, most subjects had sleep disturbance. From the social aspect, most have not known to have contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 and most of the subjects followed health protocol consistently

    Get PDF
    Many studies have indicated that people\u27s emotional abilities play a significant role in advancing processes. Studies conducted on teachers have indicated a connection between the educator\u27s emotional abilities and their significant role in managing conflicts in such a way that improves the school climate academically, behaviorally, and socially, and can affect the community itself in the future. Based on the ABC Model (Activating events, Beliefs, Consequences) that was developed by the psychologist Albert Ellis, a workshop of ten two-hour sessions was conducted with approximately one hundred teachers, coaches, and therapists. The workshop was aimed at acquiring, practicing, and assimilating emotional skills and abilities as part of conflict management (Sahin & Acar, 2019). The Questionnaires and the interviews completed by the participants of the workshops at the beginning and at the end of the process showed that their self-esteem improved significantly following the use of the four strategies that will be presented. The research findings indicate an important behavioral change in conflict management in cases in which use of artistic tools was made as a way of creating optimal social and emotional climate by providing the educator and learners creative ways to cope with conflicts. These findings can be used to improve the way in which schoolteachers manage conflicts or as part of developing innovative intervention programs and enriching the toolbox for conflict management. The educator\u27s emotional abilities contribute greatly and significantly on developing conflict management abilities in an educational environment that encourages and enables the existence of social and academic processes that emphasize and pay attention to emotional processes, since to create, an enabling educational environment is required to demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence, a high sense of self-efficacy and an empathy ability. Kinesthetic artistic tools can allow teachers to be creative in building work plans and professional development. The article provides documentation of the changes presented in the conduct and professional development of teachers in training for dealing with and managing conflicts
