A Systematic Review Of Medication Knowledge In Older Adults

Abstract Background Medication knowledge, as defined by six aspects, is the person's awareness of their medication name, dose, purpose, adverse drug reaction (ADR), administration schedule and special instructions, is essential in the older patient's treatment journey. This review aimed to assess medication knowledge in older adults. Methods A systematic search of six electronic databases, grey literature and citation indexes included studies conducted in any setting or any country on those 65 or older, published over the last ten years, reporting primary data with full-text access, and assessing patients' six aspects of medication knowledge. Joanna Briggs Institute Critical appraisal tool was used to evaluate quality of studies. Results Of the 67871 articles searched, only 10 cross-sectional studies were included. Medication knowledge data was collected from pharmacies, community, general practices and outpatient clinics. Surveys used face-to-face interviews and electronic, written, and mail questionnaires. Five studies assessed knowledge on single medications. None assessed all six aspects of medication knowledge. One study assessed five aspects, while the rest assessed fewer aspects. The percentage of those who knew their medication names ranged from 41.9% to 97%, dose 19.4%, purpose 15% to 90%, administration schedule 65% to 92.6%, ADR 42% to 80% and special instructions 32.4% to 94.8%. Data lacked the source of medication knowledge or evidence of a patient-centred care approach. There were repeated calls for further education and research. Conclusion Research indicates that older adults have a mixed knowledge of their medications, with some areas well grasped and others lacking. Additionally, it appears that medication knowledge is not thoroughly evaluated initially. Despite ongoing advice to employ all six aspects of medication knowledge for assessment and education enhancement, no progress is seen in older adults' medication knowledge. Therefore, there's a need for better research that anticipates the application of these six aspects, concentrating on education for older adults or their caregivers through patient-centred methods.

Describing Community-Based Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in the Nutritional Care of Older Adults: Results of a UK Survey.

To ascertain current nutritional knowledge and training needs of community-based nurses caring for older adults in the United Kingdom. A descriptive cross-sectional, anonymized, online survey of nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to older adults' nutrition was developed. Community-based nurses working with older adults in the United Kingdom were recruited via social media and convenience sampling. Responses were received from 194 community-based nurses. Nutritional care was seen as a multidisciplinary responsibility by 62% of participants. Most undertook nutrition screening (93%), were confident in providing nutritional advice (83%), and ease of identifying those in need (88%) was high. However, some aspects of nutritional knowledge were less complete, including recommended daily intakes of protein (60% unsure) and fiber (52% unsure). High confidence in delivering nutritional advice contrasted with uncertainty around some aspects of nutritional knowledge, suggesting opportunities to improve training on the nutritional needs of older adults.

Understanding the social and emotional domains of physical literacy in post‐secondary education: A scoping review

AbstractWhile a variety of definitions persist, a common definition of physical literacy is that it encompasses the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities over the lifespan. While this perspective to physical literacy is broad, a great deal of curricular outcomes still focus on the physical competence, knowledge and understanding aspects of the framework leaving a gap in the holistic nature of the construct. This scoping review explores the construct of physical literacy within post‐secondary education, focusing on how social and emotional dimensions are integrated in teaching, delivery and assessment. This scoping review followed PRISMA‐ScR guidelines. Five online databases were used to identify papers published that used physical literacy in combination with post‐secondary as the educational setting with a focus on curriculum. The findings underscore a substantial gap in the literature. It was identified that the physical aspects of physical literacy were predominant with limited attention to the social and emotional domains. The gap implies that the comprehensive construct of physical literacy, which encompasses non‐physical facets, is often omitted in post‐secondary curricula. The review highlights an unexplored opportunity for post‐secondary institutions to intentionally construct more comprehensive physical literacy programmes. By incorporating social and emotional dimensions into these programmes, students gain a more holistic understanding of physical literacy. Subsequent research can delve into effective integration strategies and the potential benefits of such an approach.

The structure of knowledge about the concept of derivative – a study investigating a process-object framework

Different process-object frameworks have been used to describe the structure and sequence of acquisition of knowledge about mathematical concepts in the sense that operational (i.e. process-related) knowledge should be acquired before structural (i.e. object-related) knowledge. This approach has previously been used to investigate the structure of knowledge about the concept of derivative from a qualitative perspective. In this article, we apply a process-object framework to investigate the acquisition of knowledge about the concept of derivative quantitatively. Data was collected from N = 176 grade 10/11 students in Germany using a test instrument that has been specifically developed to measure operational and structural knowledge about the concept of derivative. In a second study, interviews were conducted with a selected subsample of the same students to ensure the validity of the test and the compatibility of our items to the theoretical model. Our results show that knowledge about the concept of derivative can be seen as psychometrically two-dimensional reflecting operational and structural aspects of knowledge. Additionally, our results indicate that a majority of students might only have acquired pseudostructural knowledge about the concept of derivative. Lastly, implications for research specifically for the role of prior knowledge are discussed.

Assessment of Knowledge and Practice on Prevention of Pressure Ulcer among Nurses in Palestine- Cross Sectional Study

Pressure Ulcers (PUs) are localized skin injuries caused by long-term compression of soft tissue between an external pressure source and a bony prominence. They are one of the iatrogenic causes of extra morbidity for hospitalized patients. This study aimed to assess knowledge and practices regarding preventing PUs among nurses in Palestine. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 430 nurses in various Palestinian hospitals and health centers between February 15, 2024, and April 14, 2024. Convenience sampling was used to collect samples for this study. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics. The study showed that 65.61% of participants correctly answered questions about PU prevention. Regarding practice, 55.3% of nurses demonstrated a good level, with an average score of 2.37. Additionally, there was a significant association between demographic variables and levels of knowledge and practice in PU prevention, with P values ranging from 0.01 to 0.05. The study found that male nurses had higher knowledge and practice scores than female nurses, with significant differences in mean scores. The overall level of knowledge and practice among Palestinian nurses was found to be good; however, there is room for improvement in several aspects of both knowledge and practice. Variables such as gender, age, marital status, qualification, and job experience were found to have significant correlations with the level of knowledge and practice among nurses.

Knowledge about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among physicians, nurses and students at a regional hospital in Nepal

Introduction: In 2019, Nepal had the highest mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) globally, and the prevalence of COPD in Nepal is expected to increase. Available research shows that the knowledge of COPD among patients in Nepal is poor and that the practice of COPD management among healthcare personnel needs to improve. Objectives: To assess the knowledge of COPD among healthcare personnel at a regional hospital and students at a local School of Health Science. Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among healthcare pro- fessionals and students in Tansen, Palpa district, Nepal. Scoring was based on a scale of up to 12 points, with a result of 10 points or above considered satisfactory knowledge. Results: A total of 56 healthcare workers and 208 students participated in the survey. All participants' median (IQR) score was 98,10. Among healthcare professionals, the level of knowledge was below expected on questions regarding vaccinations to prevent pneumonia and spirometry to set the diagnosis. The time spent in the healthcare profession did not increase knowledge scores. Second- and third-year nursing students had a statistically significantly higher level of knowledge than first-year nursing students. Conclusions: While healthcare personnel showed a high degree of skills in several aspects of COPD knowledge, significant gaps persist, highlighting areas for improvement in COPD care within Nepal.

A survey on knowledge-enhanced multimodal learning

Multimodal learning has been a field of increasing interest, aiming to combine various modalities in a single joint representation. Especially in the area of visiolinguistic (VL) learning multiple models and techniques have been developed, targeting a variety of tasks that involve images and text. VL models have reached unprecedented performances by extending the idea of Transformers, so that both modalities can learn from each other. Massive pre-training procedures enable VL models to acquire a certain level of real-world understanding, although many gaps can be identified: the limited comprehension of commonsense, factual, temporal and other everyday knowledge aspects questions the extendability of VL tasks. Knowledge graphs and other knowledge sources can fill those gaps by explicitly providing missing information, unlocking novel capabilities of VL models. At the same time, knowledge graphs enhance explainability, fairness and validity of decision making, issues of outermost importance for such complex implementations. The current survey aims to unify the fields of VL representation learning and knowledge graphs, and provides a taxonomy and analysis of knowledge-enhanced VL models.

Investigation on lightweight identification method for pavement cracks

Mastering a lightweight method for the identification of pavement surface cracks plays a vital role in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of pavement crack detection. However, the existing crack detection methods typically concentrate on improving model performance while neglecting the study of lightweight identification methods, causing inefficient crack detection. Therefore, this study aims to investigate a lightweight identification method for pavement cracks. High-definition vehicle-mounted cameras were employed to collect pavement crack images across multiple districts in Shenzhen, China, resulting in a dataset containing 20256 images. In addition, a pavement crack detection method based on the You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLO v8) model was proposed. On this basis, a knowledge distillation model enhanced by multiple teacher-assistants (KDMTA) was established to explore the impact of different teacher assistants and distillation paths on model performance. The results indicate that in the proposed KDMTA model, each level of teacher-assistant (TA) model can absorb diverse aspects of knowledge from the teacher models, thus broadening the range of insights. Subsequently, the information is imparted to lower-level TA models and the student model, expanding the perspective from which the student model acquires knowledge. Therefore, this improves the model's generalization performance and its effectiveness in target detection. The type and number of teacher assistant models, as well as the distillation path, influence the model performance. The random learning strategy enriches the combination and transfer of knowledge among teacher models, TA models, and student models, achieving lightweight identification for pavement crack. According to the results, the crack identification accuracy reaches 95.79 %, the mAP reaches 81.07 %, and the image processing speed has been improved by 79.6 %. This study enhances the efficiency and accuracy of pavement crack detection, providing methodological support for the rapid and accurate identification of pavement cracks. This study offers a novel method for the rapid and accurate identification of pavement cracks, which can assist management authorities to timely identify and repair pavement defects, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the lifespan of roads. Moreover, it can also facilitate the development of road safety management and intelligent transportation systems.

Perspective of Private Kindergarten Teachers on Pre-Coding Program in Early Childhood Education / Pandangan Guru Tadika Swasta Terhadap Program Pre-Coding dalam Pendidikan Awal Kanak-Kanak

Nowadays, learning coding has become a highly demanded teaching method to apply basic skills such as programming and computational thinking (CT) in line with current technological developments. Malaysia also takes this issue into account by introducing a pre-coding program for early childhood education. Pre-coding is an activity that teaches the concept of coding which is looking at computational thinking (CT) such as problem solving, logical thinking and creative thinking without involving the use of digital devices. This is because pre-coding is seen as more appropriate to be implemented for children in line with their developmental level who are in dire need of exploring the real world through physical activity. Therefore, this study aims to identify the views of private kindergarten teachers on pre-coding in early childhood education. This teacher's view is seen from the aspects of knowledge, awareness, interest and acceptance of the teacher about the pre-coding program in early childhood education. This study uses a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional survey method. A total of 144 private kindergarten teachers around the states of Perak, Selangor and Putrajaya were selected as the study sample. The research instrument uses a set of questionnaires to answer the research objectives by looking at the median value for each aspect. The findings of the study show that the median value is high for the aspects of knowledge, awareness, interest and acceptance of teachers about pre-coding for children. The study found that the median value of all four aspects is equal to a value of 4. Therefore, the implementation of the pre-coding program is very important to be introduced and implemented in the early teaching and learning of children to help children acquire new basic skills in line with the development of the world of technology.
