Thermal Infrared Imaging to Evaluate Emotional Competences in Nursing Students: A First Approach through a Case Study
摘要： During university studies of nursing, it is important to develop emotional skills for their impact on academic performance and the quality of patient care. Thermography is a technology that could be applied during nursing training to evaluate emotional skills. The objective is to evaluate the effect of thermography as the tool for monitoring and improving emotional skills in student nurses through a case study. The student was subjected to different emotions. The stimuli applied were video and music. The process consisted of measuring the facial temperatures during each emotion and stimulus in three phases: acclimatization, stimulus, and response. Thermographic data acquisition was performed with an FLIR E6 camera. The analysis was complemented with the environmental data (temperature and humidity). With the video stimulus, the start and final forehead temperature from testing phases, showed a different behavior between the positive (joy: 34.5°C) and negative (anger: 36.1°C) emotions during the acclimatization phase, different from the increase experienced in the stimulus (joy: 34.7°C and anger: 35.0°C) and response phases (joy: 35.0°C and anger: 34.8°C). With the music stimulus, the emotions showed different patterns in each phase (joy: 34.2°C–35.0°C and anger: 33.8°C–35.0°C). Whenever the subject is exposed to a stimulus, there is a thermal bodily response. All of the facial areas follow a common thermal pattern in response to the stimulus, with the exception of the nose. Thermography is a technique suitable for the stimulation practices in emotional skills, given that it is non-invasive, it is quantifiable, and easy to access.

The effect evaluation of advanced penlight
摘要： Pupil diameter measurement is crucial for physical assessment and disease monitoring in a health and nursing care situation. A general penlights (GPLs) is frequently used and allow for an approximate and indirect measurement of the pupil diameter. Health caregivers or nurses generally have less confidence in the value of the pupil diameter measured using the GPL. The Advanced Penlight (APL) is a new device designed for accurate measurement of the pupil diameter. The purpose of the presented research was to compare the accuracies and operational times of the pupil diameter measurements by means of the GPL and APL. One-group post-test and single-blind study designed was used in this study. The innovation of the APL is the addition of a perspective measurement ruler (PMR) attached to one side of the penlight that allows precise measurement of the pupil diameter before and after pupillary contraction. The PMR can be rotated by any angle for adaptation to the measurement conditions. After standard pupil diameter measurements by a refractometer (RM) were performed on a subjects, ninety study participants measured the pupil diameters of the same subject separately by the GPL and APL. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the opinions of the participants after using the GPL compare to the APL. The mean age of the participants was 20.01 (SD = 0.47) years and 83% of them were female senior nursing students. There were no statistically significant differences between the average values of pupil diameters measured by the APL and the RM. Compared to the GPL, the pupil diameter measured by APL was much similar to the RM measurement. The average operational time was 8.72 seconds shorter (t = -3.81, p = 0.001) for the APL measurement compared to the GPL measurement. The average scores of convenience and confidence on pupil diameter measurements of questionnaire were higher for the APL compared to the GPL. The APL can increase the accuracy and save operating time of pupil diameter measurement and thereby promote the quality of health assessment and nursing care practice.

Evaluation of phototherapy equipment used in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia / Avalia??o de equipamentos fototerápicos utilizados no tratamento da hiperbilirrubinemia neonatal / Evaluación de equipos fototerápicos utilizados...
摘要： Objective: to evaluate the handling and maintenance of the phototherapy equipment used in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in a public maternity hospital in Teresina-Piauí, according to the norms established by the manufacturers. Methodology: this was a cross-sectional study, of a quantitative nature and descriptive approach, having as technical procedure the data collection performed with 12 Bilitrons?. Results: the 12 (100%) machines were connected in a source able to withstand the electrical conditions of tension and power and connected in grounded outlet. All obeyed the minimum distance of 40 cm from radiating sources of heat. However, none were disinfected with the quaternary ammonia. The last maintenance occurred 6 months ago in all the equipments. Bilitron? was the only equipment used in the maternity ward to treat hyperbilirubinemia. Conclusion: some technical guidelines from the manufacturer of Bilitron? have been followed, others still have lack attention. Given the paucity of studies on the subject, more evidence-based research is suggested in order to provide greater theoretical-practical knowledge of the nurse, the one who deals directly with the phototherapy treatment, about the handling and maintenance of Bilitron?.

Efficacy of Vein Visualization Devices for Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement in Preterm Infants
摘要： The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the efficacy of vein visualization devices and the routine method for insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) in preterm infants. The study was conducted between June 2016 and April 2017 in the neonatal intensive care unit of Bak?rk?y Dr Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital. Participants (N= 90) were randomly assigned to the infrared group (n= 30), the transilluminator group (n= 30), or the control group (n= 30). Time to successful cannulation was significantly lower for the infrared group (8.70 ± 2.56 seconds) than for the transilluminator group (45.27 ± 30.83 seconds) and the control group (17.30 ± 8.40 seconds) (P≤ .001). Success of the first attempt was significantly higher in the infrared and transilluminator groups than in the control group (P≤ .05). Dwell time of the PIVC in place was significantly higher in the infrared group than in the transilluminator and control groups (P≤ .05). Neonatal Infant Pain Scale scores were significantly higher in the transilluminator group (0.60 ± 0.855) than in the infrared (0.33 ± 0.182) and control groups (0.33 ± 0.182) while seeking an appropriate vein (P≤ .001). The use of an infrared device provides efficacy in time to successful cannulation, success of the first attempt, length of the time the catheter is in place, and technique-related pain.

摘要： Background: Many nursing programs include a capstone project as part of the nursing curriculum. In Taiwan, these courses involve development of healthcare products. A student's success can depend on faculty's ability to employ creative teaching behaviors. Purpose: To examine the relationship between demographic and teaching characteristics, personality traits, and self-perceived levels of creative teaching behaviors for capstone nursing faculty. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study design. Faculty (N = 53) were recruited from healthcare schools in Taiwan. Data from self-report questionnaires included variables for demographic and teaching characteristics, perceived levels of creative personality traits (imagination, curiosity, adventure, challenge) and creative teaching behaviors (autonomous learning, creative thinking, characteristics/motivations, environment/opportunity). Hierarchical multiple regression identi?ed predictors of creative teaching behaviors. Results: Mean total scores for creative teaching behaviors were high for nursing faculty; characteristics/motivations were the lowest subscale score. The creative personality trait of curiosity signi?cantly and positively in?uenced the perception of high levels creative teaching behaviors. Conclusions: High scores for curiosity signi?cantly predicted high scores for creative teaching behaviors for nursing faculty. These ?ndings suggest faculty who perceive themselves as having low levels of creative teaching behaviors might bene?t from training to increase levels of curiosity.
