The effects of video-based and blended learning on medication dosage calculation skills of paramedic students: A randomized, quasi-experimental study.

Background: Medication dosage calculation (MDC) is a vital component of clinical competence for healthcare providers, particularly in emergency medical services, where miscalculations can lead to life-threatening outcomes. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the effects of video-based learning (VBL) and blended learning (BL) on the MDC skills of paramedic students, with the hypothesis that BL would result in higher posttest MDC performance compared to VBL.

Methods: A randomized quasi-experimental design was used.

Midwifery Students' Views on NANDA-I Diagnoses and Care Plans Used in Clinical Practice.

Background: Developing a care plan for patients is not specific to nursing or midwifery; it is the case in every situation where patients seek help from care providers. Midwifery students draw upon NANDA-I diagnoses while developing care plans (CPs) in clinical practices, and plan and apply their care accordingly. This study aims to identify the views of midwifery students on the NANDA-I diagnoses and CPs that they use in clinical practice.

A retrospective descriptive study of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses used by midwives working in obstetrics and gynecologic service: An example from south-eastern Turkey.

Purpose: This study aims to identify NANDA-I nursing diagnoses that midwives working in obstetrics and gynecologic service use while managing the electronic nursing care process.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a descriptive way to evaluate electronic care plan records of 3025 patients staying in obstetrics and gynecologic service between April 1, 2020. and April 1, 2021.

Investigation of the Necessity of Aspiration During the Intramuscular Injection Administered in the Ventrogluteal Site and Its Effect on Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This experimental study, which was conducted to examine the necessity of aspiration procedure and its effect on pain in intramuscular (IM) injections made into the ventrogluteal site (VGS), is randomized controlled and double-blind. The patients in the study group ( = 834) were assigned to the IM group with the aspiration period of 5 to 10 seconds (Implementation Group A-IGA), the aspiration period of 1 to 2 seconds (Control Group-CG), and no aspiration (Implementation Group B-IGB) according to stratified block randomization list. Patients' pain levels were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Frequency of Clinical Alarms in Intensive Care Units and Nurses' Sensitivity to Them: An Observational Study.

Background: All clinical alarms require nurses to respond even if an intervention is not needed. Nurses are expected to respond appropriately to each alarm and establish priorities among their care practices accordingly. This study was conducted to examine the number and types of clinical device alarms used in intensive care units, the duration of their activation, and nurses' degree of sensitivity to them.

Examining the hand hygiene beliefs and practices of nursing students and the effectiveness of their handwashing behaviour.

Aims And Objectives: To examine the hand hygiene beliefs and practices of Turkish nursing students and the effectiveness of their handwashing.

Background: Handwashing is the most important part of preventing cross-infection, but there is a considerable amount of evidence that shows that the handwashing technique of nurses and nursing students is not always very effective.

Design/methods: This research was carried out in two stages and is type of descriptive, analytical and observational.
