ABSTRACT
Purpose@#This study explored the effect of a nursing comprehensive skill training course (NCST-C) on the metacognitive awareness of nursing students to provide a scientific foundation for improving metacognitive awareness. @*Methods@#This study used a quasi-experimental two-group matched pretest, post-test, and follow-up test. Ninety-six junior nursing students were recruited using convenience sampling and assigned to two groups by drawing lots with odd and even numbers in a nursing school at Huzhou University. The control group received a traditional skill-training course. The intervention group received NCST-C.Nursing students' metacognitive awareness inventory (MAI) was evaluated at the baseline, 16-week, and 20-week follow-up points. A repeated-measures analysis of variance and a simple effect test was used to compare each outcome measure of the two groups three times. @*Results@#The NCST-C resulted in greater benefits for nursing students' metacognitive awareness as well as various dimensions (knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition) in the intervention group.Combined with a simple effects test, the MAI and dimension scores of those in the intervention group significantly improved at 16 weeks after the baseline (F ¼ 9.78e44.03; all ps < .01). The sustainable effect of NCST-C lasted 1 month after the intervention (F ¼ 14.24e62.36; ps < .01), reaching statistical significance (p < .05). @*Conclusions@#The NCST-C effectively developed metacognitive awareness among nursing students. Its design provides a new type of experimental course for improving metacognitive awareness.Trial registration: chictr.org.cn: ChiCTR2200057910. First registration date: 1/11/2020.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the feasibility of quantitative evaluation of extracellular volume (ECV) fraction in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by dual-layer spectral detector CT.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 20 patients with STEMI who underwent cardiac contrast-enhanced CT and MRI from January to October 2019 in Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.The dual spectral detector was used in the enhanced CT scan of the coronary artery with retrospectively gate and the late iodine enhancement with prospective gate. Conventional image and holographic spectral image were obtained by iterative and spectral reconstruction. The short axis image of the heart matched with MR image was obtained by multiplanar reconstruction. Based on the data of spectral based image, the IDD map was reconstructed for the calculation of myocardial CT-ECV during the late iodine enhancement. ECV of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium based on CT and MRI were calculated respectively. Bland-Altman consistency test and intra group correlation coefficient analysis (ICC) were used to compare the consistency of two measurements and different methods. The correlation between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV was compared by Spearman method.Results:The CT-ECV values of infarcted, salvageable, and remote myocardium were 51.21 (49.27, 53)%, 38.64 (36.17, 40)%, and 51.21 (49.27, 53)%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( H= 43.17, P<0.01). The CT-ECV value of infarcted myocardium was significantly higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z=-24.60, 35.40, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z= 10.80, P=0.15). The T 1 values of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium were (1 554.85±70.94), (1 443.85±67.28) and (1 307.05±91.73) ms respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( F=51.35, P<0.01). The T 1 value of infarcted myocardium was higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( t=-5.07, 9.55, P<0.01), and salvageable myocardium was significantly higher than that of remote myocardium ( t=5.38, P<0.01). The MRI-ECV values of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium were 55.00 (49.27, 57.75)%, 33.50 (29.00, 35.00)%,and 27.00 (26.00, 29.00)%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( Z= 47.12, P<0.01). MRI-ECV of infarcted myocardium was significantly higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z=37.45, -20.30, P< 0.01), and salvageable myocardium was significantly higher than that of remote myocardium ( Z = 17.15, P<0.05). The difference between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV measured by two physicians was good. The bias of Bland-Altman analysis was -0.1% (95% CI:-5.5%-5.2%), 0.8% (95% CI:-9.8%-8.2%), and the ICC values were 0.92 and 0.94, respectively. The bias of Bland-Altman analysis in CT-ECV and MRI-ECV consistency test was 4.00% (95% CI:-9.0%-16.9%) and ICC value was 0.88, which had a good correlation ( r=0.75, P=0.001). Conclusions:The iodine density based ECV fromdual-layer spectral detector CT can be used to quantitatively evaluate the changes of extracellular space after acute STEMI, which is helpful to quantitatively evaluate the histological changes after myocardial ischemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To adopt the meta analysis to evaluate the living quality of empty-nest elderly based on Pearson and Spearson correlation coefficients.Methods The databases including Cochmne library,PubMed,PIDQuest,Medline,Springerlink,CMB,CNKI,VIP and WanFang Data were retrieved by using the network databases with the retrieval time limit until July 2016.The literatures on the correlation between the social support and living quality of Chinese empty-nest elderly were searched.The included studies were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.After extracting data and appraising the quality of the included studies,the meta analysis was conducted by using STATA11.0 software.Results Five articles were included.The literature quality was good as a whole.The total sample amounts were 2 485 subjects,including 1 201 males and 1 284 females.The meta analysis showed that merge correlation coefficient of social support and living quality,and 95 ％ confidence interval(CI)were 0.287 (0.252,0.329);which of social support utilization degree and living quality were 0.232 (0.191,0.274);which of subjective support and living quality were 0.260 (0.224,0.298),which of objective support and living quality were 0.139 (0.101,0.179),after merge,the correlation coefficient of social support was highest.The living quality and social support total score were increased with the samples amounts increase,and the correlation was accordingly decreased.The correlation coefficient measured by random sample method was higher than that measured by the non-random sample method.The correlation coefficient and social support in southern empty-nest elderly was higher than that of northern empty-nest elderly.Conclusion The living quality in Chinese empty-nest elderly has a correlation with the social support,which is mainly affected by subjective support and support utilization degree.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between health-related media information and career decision making self-efficacy of nursing undergraduates,and the mediation effect of psychological needs and trust between above two variables. Methods Totally 548 nursing undergraduates were investigated using basic properties of health-related media information questionnaire,health-related media information of trust and psychological needs questionnaire and Career Decision Making Self-efficacy Scale. Results Health-related media information and health-related media information of trust and psychological needs could predict mental disability directly (P<0.05). Health-related media information of trust and psychological needs played a mediating role between health-related media information and career decision making self- efficacy,and the total effect and the indirect effect of two separate intermediary variables were significant,and contribution rate of 50.31%. By confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation model were:χ2/degree of freedom (χ2/df)=4.225, goodness of fit index=0.933, adjusted goodness of fit index =0.902, root mean square error of approximation =0.070. Conclusions Nursing school administrators should pay close attention to the mediating roles of health-related media information of trust and psychological needs,and develop specific interventions systematic on the basis of a comprehensive assessment,so as to improve nursing students career decision-making self-efficacy levels.
