School nursing documentation: knowledge, attitude, and barriers to using standardized nursing languages and current practices

Yearous, Sharon Kay Guthrie 01 July 2011 (has links)
The independent, complex role of a school nurse requires accurate documentation of assessments, interventions, and outcomes. Consistent documentation by all school nurses is crucial to study the impact of nursing interventions on children's health and success in school. While standardized nursing languages are available, the actual use of these languages is in the infancy stages of implementation. This national survey of school nurses reveals diverse practices in school nursing documentation. Using Everett Rogers' (2003) Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, a web-based survey allowed respondents to identify their knowledge and attitude towards the use of standardized languages, including NANDA International (NANDA-I), Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Respondents also rated barriers to adopting the use of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC (NNN). The results of this survey serve as a foundation for moving the practice of school nursing towards consistent documentation. Ultimately, the implementation of NNN will allow school nurses to document more consistently, base practice decisions on evidence, and improve the health and academic success of children in schools.

RAS enhancements for RDMA communications

Cardona, Omar 21 February 2011 (has links)
Ethernet as the communication medium in the enterprise data center has outlived all competing mediums and resisted the test of time with regards to speed and costs. The future is also poised for growth with 40 and 100Gps speeds just over horizon. The current state of the technology is being enhanced and extended with lossless features to allow for fabric convergence of Storage and Inter Process Communication (IPC) Networks. It is under this medium that an increase in the adoption of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet using offloaded TCP/IP (iWARP) and Infiniband over Ethernet (RoCE) communication stacks to RDMA capable NIC adapter s (RNIC) is observed. RDMA enables direct application to application communication over the network resulting in numerous and significant benefits such as reduced CPU utilization, lower latency communications, increased energy efficiency, and reduced overall system requirements. However, with said benefits also comes increased software complexity in how RDMA interface users communicate. The RDMA communication semantics, which originate from the HPC domain, are heavily biased towards Low-Latency and High-Bandwidth communications rather than Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS). As adoption increases, and enterprise data centers begins to leverage RDMA over Ethernet, enhancements to the OS stack software architecture and design of the components involved is required to address these deficiencies. Operating system interfaces, device drivers, adapter hardware design, and embedded firmware features must be viewed from a high-availability and maintainability point of view. RAS enhancements for RDMA communications proposes the software architectural tradeoffs for enhancing the iWARP and RoCE RDMA implementations for communications in the enterprise data center, with new and traditional RAS features for existing communications stacks and devices. The architecture leverages software enhancements in traceability, availability, maintainability, serviceability, fault-isolation and resource management; such that in the advent of errors, the probability that the forensics data points to identify root cause are immediately and automatically available is increased. / text

Management kojení nedonošených novorozenců s aplikací klasifikačních systémů NANDA International, NIC, NOC / Management of breast-feeding premature infants with the application of classification systems NANDA International, NIC, NOC

MELNIČÁKOVÁ, Bernadetta January 2013 (has links)
In a theoretical part of the paper, the main focus is on characteristics and terminology of premature babies, breastfeeding, classification systems NANDA International, NIC and NOC, about also management which is an integral part of nursing process. Both quantitative and qualitative researches were used to obtain and process all data. In quantitative method was used a method of document was used, content analysis and quasiexperiment. Results of quantitative research were processed in SPSS software, version 16.0 Statistical Package for Social Sciences, where a method of nonparametric correlation was used. A pen and paper interview with open questions was used in qualitative section of research. Before the research itself, a deputy of nursing care in hospital Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s. was addressed. The research was implemented between February 2013 and April 2013. First research cluster consisted of nine mothers and eleven premature babies in which two of the mothers had twins. Basic criteria for entering the research, was a necessary hospitalization of both the mother and the child, which the hospital Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s. offers. The major criterion was an initiated lactation. Second research sample consisted of nurses working at Stanice intermediární péče II. (IMP II ? rooming) of Nemocnice České Budějovice a. s. First of goals was to create files from classification systems NANDA International, NIC, NOC for development and support of breastfeeding for premature babies. The main goal of this work was to create a comprehensive documentation mediated by classification systems NANDA International, NIC, NOC for growth and support of premature babies. The theoretical content of the paper itself was used to create documentation and its usage in praxis. It was not mentioned to create new, but to apply already well known, verified and proven classification systems, which can make not only breastfeeding, but also the daily routine of a nurse more efficient. The suggested documentation solves the issues of breastfeeding of premature babies to help mothers, but also to increase a professional prestige of nurses. Documentation was compiled to include all the necessary information needed for the correct nursing process method. Significant part of documentation is a preliminary case history of mother and child, which offered valuable information. Further attribute were nursing diagnoses dealing with breastfeeding issues of premature babies and intervention realized during hospitalization. It was necessary to address each entry concerned with premature babies individually, based on complex evaluation of overall condition. Many pieces of knowledge from specialized literature on the topic of premature babies and personal experience of doc. PhDr. Mária Bolendovičová, PhD. were used to create the documentation. Second aim of the study was verification of selected specimens on clinical praxis. Third aim was to monitor nurses in Stanice intermediární péče II. (IMP II ? rooming) and their attitude to usage of classification systems NANDA International, NIC and NOC. Based on interviews with nurses it was proven that nurses have better knowledge of NANDA Internationals classification systems than knowledge of NIC and NOC. Final documentation was tested in the perspective of medical staff and its exploitability in clinical praxis. It was found that nurses sense the classification systems NANDA International, NIC and NOC as an appropriate tool, but only with more staff present to work on station. From statements of nurses was clear that establishing a diagnoses is a responsibility of each nurse taking part in nursing process.

O linfócito T citotóxico é o principal efetor no processo de erradicação de células infectadas por vírus e células neoplásicas. Em associação com a perforina, a granzima B induz apoptose na célula alvo. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar quantitativamente, por estudo imuno-histoquímico, a expressão linfocitária da granzima B na neoplasia intra-epitelial cervical de pacientes infectadas pelo HIV. Participaram da pesquisa 71 pacientes, sendo 36 HIV-positivo e 35 controles. A maioria das pacientes do grupo HIV-positivo apresentava contagem de células CD4>200/mm³ e utilizava terapia anti-retroviral potente. Os valores medianos para a granzima B em 20 campos de grande aumento (epiteliais e estromais) no grupo HIV-positivo e no grupo controle foram respectivamente: sem neoplasia (20,5 e 4,6), NIC I (54,0 e 40,3), NIC II e NIC III (36,0 e 58,7). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre a NIC de pacientes HIV-positivo e controles. Portanto, a alta incidência e recorrência de NIC nas pacientes infectadas pelo HIV não parecem ser decorrentes de alteração na expressão linfocitária da granzima B. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / Granzyme B is a serine protease synthesized in activated cytotoxic T lymphocyte after exogenous stimulation. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte are the main effector in eradication process of neoplasic cell and virus infected cell. With perforin, granzyme B discharge apoptosis signal to a target cell. The objective of this study was to evaluate granzyme B expression in lymphocytes by immunohistochemistry staining of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in HIV-infected women. A total of 71 pacients have participated of this study: 36 HIV-positive and 35 controls. The majority of HIV-infected women group received highly antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and presented CD4-cell count >200/mm³. The activated cytotoxic T lymphocyte mean value in 20 fields (HPF400X), in both epithelials and stromals pars from HIV-positive group and control group were, respectively: without neoplasia (20,5 and 4,6), CIN I (54,0 and 40,3), CIN II and CIN III (36,0 and 58,7). There weren’t significantly difference between CIN from HIV positive patients and controls. Thus, the high incidence and recorrence of CIN from HIV-infected women weren’t resulting from granzyme B altered expression in lymphocytes.

Smysl otázky po smyslu bytí: K interpretaci soupatřičnosti bytí a Ničeho v Heideggerově Was ist Metaphysik? / The Meaning of the Question of Being: An Interpretation of an intrinsic Connection between Being and the No-thing in Heidegger's What is Metaphysics?

Kvapil, Ondřej January 2015 (has links)
This paper deals, building on a ground defined by Heidegger's What is Metaphysics?, with a single question: in what sense do being and the no-thing belong together? This question is being addressed at two parallel levels. Based on a detailed interpretation of key text passages that have often been examined insufficiently due to their lack of accessibility, it aims to gain a complex insight into the issue and interpret it in its many nuances of meaning. At the same time, its aim is to articulate a general philosophical significance of the intrinsic connection between being and the no-thing; to what extent it affects the innermost intention of Heidegger's fundamental ontology as such, i.e. raising the question of the meaning of being. The paper builds on a phenomenological description of the original experience of the no-thing and captures a transformation of a human being into a pure Da-sein, which he goes through during this experience. Since the experience of the no-thing according to Heidegger is identical to the basic mood of dread, this piece of work depicts it in relation to seemingly similar, but in their meaning actually opposite moods: fear and, most importantly, abysmal boredom. Subsequently, it puts forward an interpretation of the no-thing's own ontological significance and thus...

Alcohol Affects the Reward Pathway of the Brain via a6-containing Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in the Nucleus Accumbens

Anderson, Elizabeth Qiufeng 05 August 2020 (has links)
The prevailing view is that enhancement of dopamine (DA) transmission in the mesolimbic system consisting of DA neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) that project to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) underlies the rewarding properties of ethanol (EtOH) and nicotine (NIC). Although the dogma is that EtOH enhancement of DA neural activity contributes to enhancement of DA transmission, DA neurons are not sensitive to rewarding levels of EtOH. However, VTA GABA neurons are sensitive to low-dose EtOH. We have shown previously that EtOH modulation of DA release in the NAc is mediated by α6-containing nicotinic receptors (α6*-nAChRs), that α6*-nAChRs mediate low-dose EtOH effects on VTA GABA neurons and EtOH preference, and α6*-nAChRs may be a molecular target for low-dose EtOH. Thus, the most sensitive target for reward-relevant EtOH modulation of mesolimbic DA transmission and the involvement of α6*-nAChRs in the mesolimbic DA reward system remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate EtOH effects on VTA GABAergic input to CINs and DA release in the NAc. Using DIO channel rhodopsin-2 (ChR2) viral injections into the VTA of VGAT Cre mice, we found that VTA GABA neurons send an inhibitory projection to CINs, replicating what has been demonstrated by others. This study investigated the acute and chronic effects of EtOH at this synapse. We demonstrate that EtOH markedly enhances CIN firing rate and that these effects are blocked by the α6-conotoxin MII (α-Ctx MII), knockout of accumbal α6*-nAChRs with α6-shRNA, and atypical GABA receptor antagonists. This study also investigated plasticity at this synapse. We demonstrate that a low frequency stimulation (LFS; 1 Hz, 240 pulses) causes inhibitory long-term depression at this synapse (CIN-iLTD) which is also blocked by α-Ctx MII, α6-shRNA, and atypical GABA receptor antagonists. We also show that CIN-iLTD is blocked in EtOH-dependent mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that EtOH affects the VTA GABAergic projection to CINs via α6*-nAChRs and that atypical GABA receptors also play a role.
