Improving malignant fungating wound management among oncology nurses: a best practice implementation project.

Appropriate malignant fungating wound (MFW) care is challenging for oncology nurses, leading to increased stress, compromised care quality, and poor patient outcomes. This study aimed to address best practice barriers and develop evidence-based guidelines for MFW care. This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework, which follows a seven-phase process. Both nurses' skills and patient charts were audited to determine compliance with best practices for comprehensive MFW assessment, wound photo records, use of validated wound assessment tools, appropriate wound care, and patient pain and satisfaction. Bandura's social learning theory was used to guide the development of an online education program and an objective structured clinical examination for skill improvement to prompt behavior change in nurses. A follow-up audit was conducted to measure improvements in knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy among nurses to validate the effectiveness of the intervention. The project resulted in improvements in all four evidence-based practice criteria: (1) comprehensive MFW assessments increased from 27% to 98%; (2) the inclusion of wound photos in medical records increased from 50% to 100%; (3) use of a validated wound assessment tool increased from 0% to 100%; and (4) appropriate interventions to manage wounds and maintain patients' quality of life increased from 50% to 90%. The project integrated a flexible education program, multidisciplinary collaboration, and leadership support to empower nurses to effectively manage MFWs. In addition, Bandura's social learning theory was used to influence nurses' behavior and bring about sustainable changes to organizational culture and practices. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A205.

Development and Application of Elementary School AI Education Program Using the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) Approach

The objective of this study is to enhance elementary school students' foundational understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and to foster their Computational thinking. This goal was realized through the creation of an AI education program integrating the ADDIE model and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) teaching methodology. Before developing the educational program, we conducted a preliminary needs analysis with 60 fifth-grade students from IB World School P Elementary and 36 staff members, aligning with the stages of the ADDIE model. Drawing from the outcomes of this preliminary needs analysis, we opted for the transdisciplinary theme 'How the world works,' as it resonated most aptly with AI-related content, as determined by participating educators. Real-life AI-based concepts were seamlessly woven into the educational material. Throughout the program, students actively engaged in exploratory activities centered on the chosen transdisciplinary theme and central concept. Collaborating on team projects, they collectively tackled problem-solving processes, completing activities and assignments aimed at fostering self-directed learning. To assess the effectiveness of the developed educational program on students' computational thinking, pre- and post-tests were administered. Validation results underscored that the program made a significant contribution to the enhancement of Computational Thinking among the participating students.

조선족 학교 학생들의 이중 언어 태도 조사 연구

By examining the complex aspects of language use and attitudes among Korean-Chinese students living in Heilongjiang Province in China, this study aims to analyze the bilingual patterns of Korean-Chinese students from various angles and provide an in-depth understanding of their language usage patterns, attitudes toward language, and how bilingual skills are formed and developed in socio-cultural contexts. In this paper, based on the national public language supply policy at Heilongjiang Korean-Chinese School, a field survey and survey were conducted on students from Heilongjiang Province Korean-Chinese School to accurately grasp the status and attitude of bilingualism in Chinese and Korean. For the conduct of the study, first of all, the survey method and the subject of the survey were confirmed as students of 32 Korean-Chinese schools in Heilongjiang Province. Next, the pattern of bilingualism in Korean and Chinese was analyzed through a survey on language attitude, language status cause, language and character use, and language relationship. Next, the problems of bilingualism were confronted, and a strategy for optimizing bilingualism according to the cause was devised. The results of the survey showed that Korean-Chinese school students were deeply interested in Chinese and Chinese culture. In other words, it was premised that they should be able to accurately recognize the superiority of China's bilingual policy and speak both Korean and standard Chinese, which are the native languages of the Korean people, but it showed the reality that the Korean language ability was weakening day by day compared to Chinese. Therefore, in this paper, the optimization strategies for bilingualism were divided into five categories: language dissemination and education programs, socio-cultural environment encouraging language use, the development of bilingual education programs, home and community support for language use, and policy support for language preservation. Therefore, the Heilongjiang provincial government, schools, and parents should set up an environment where Korean language education can develop soundly through policies and measures to promote full promotion and distribution by developing Korean and Chinese in a balanced manner.

Red Shoes Australia: when public art meets forensic science and becomes a movement for change

ABSTRACT Public art has long been recognized as a powerful medium for social and cultural expression, taking various forms and sizes across different settings. Generally designed for installation in public places, public art aims to engage the public by fostering participation, interaction, and critical thinking. One notable example is ‘Red Shoes Australia’, an adaptation of ‘Los Zapatos Rojos’ by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet. This installation features hundreds of pairs of red shoes in an iconic Australian public space, serving as a poignant memorial to the victims of domestic, gender, and family violence. First presented in 2022 as part of the Western Australian ‘16 Days in WA: Stop Violence Against Women’ campaign, the event was a collaboration with the Western Australia Museum and continued as an impactful initiative in subsequent years. Beyond its role as an art exhibition, the event seeks to emphasize the impact of forensic research and practice in combating gender-based violence and empowering victims with a scientific voice against their perpetrators. The confluence of art, and forensics, leveraging ‘The Red Shoes’, underscores that positive change in systems and society is driven by knowledge, education, strategic research, and the development of educational programmes and community services.

Development of interprofessional education programmes in nursing care and oral healthcare for dental and nursing students

BackgroundInterprofessional education (IPE) is essential for healthcare students to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams. This study aimed to identify the effect of IPE programmes in nursing care and oral healthcare on dental and nursing students’ perceptions of interprofessional collaboration.MethodsThe study included 101 third-year dental and 98 fourth-year nursing students. The participants were divided into mixed-professional groups of four (2 dental and 2 nursing students). They participated in nursing care and oral healthcare training programmes that included student-on-student training and discussion groups. Questionnaires regarding perceptions of interprofessional collaboration were distributed to the participants before and after the programmes to compare the programmes before and after and between the dental and nursing students. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and chi-square test were used to compare the data.ResultsData from 79 dental students (42 males and 37 females) and 89 nursing students (4 males and 85 females) who completed both questionnaires were used for the comparisons. Perceptions of the differences between the approaches of different health professionals to nursing care, the roles of other professionals, and the need for multiprofessional collaboration improved significantly among both dental and nursing students after the programmes. Although the perception of their ability to communicate with unfamiliar or new people improved significantly only among the nursing students, other perceptions of their ability to communicate did not improve for either group. More dental students than nursing students chose nursing trainings as good programmes to participate in with other professional students, while more nursing students than dental students chose oral care trainings as good programmes. Many students commented that they learned about nursing and oral healthcare skills as well as the importance of teamwork and communication with other professionals. Seven students commented that they were more motivated to become dentists and nurses.ConclusionsThis study showed that IPE programmes for nursing care and oral healthcare might be effective at helping students understand other professionals and promoting multiprofessional collaboration. However, further studies are needed to develop IPE programmes to improve attitudes and abilities related to interprofessional communication skills.

Implementation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education systems through bipolar complex hesitant fuzzy Aczel-Alsina power aggregation operators: A case review for China.

A learning management system (LMS) is a web-based application or software platform computed to facilitate the development, tracking, management, reporting, and delivery of education and training programs. Many valuable and dominant factors are working behind the Learning Management System (LMS), but no one can find which factor is most important and valuable for LMS during COVID-19 among the following five alternatives, called Improved Accessibility, Blended Learning, Collaboration and Communications, Assessment and Evaluation, and Administrative Efficiency. For this, first, we derive the techniques of bipolar complex hesitant fuzzy (BCHF) sets, and then we evaluate some flexible operational laws, called Algebraic operational laws and Aczel-Alsina operational laws. Secondly, using the above techniques, we elaborate the technique of BCHF Aczel-Alsina power averaging (BCHFAAPA), BCHF Aczel-Alsina power weighted averaging (BCHFAAPWA), BCHF Aczel-Alsina power geometric (BCHFAAPG), and BCHF Aczel-Alsina power weighted geometric (BCHFAAPWG) operators. Some basic properties are also investigated for each proposed operator. Further, to evaluate the problem concerning LMS, we compute the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) techniques for invented operators. Finally, we select some prevailing operators and try to compare their ranking results with our proposed results to enhance the worth and capability of the invented theory.

Conclusion: Therefore, if a formal curriculum for AI education is presented under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, it is necessary to develop the final form of AI education programs based on Design Thinking.

The influence of creativity and learning motivation on entrepreneurial intentions of fisheries vocational high school students

The fisheries department is one of the expertise programs in Vocational High Schools (VHS). Learning motivation towards the entrepreneurial intention of VHS students majoring in fisheries is still low. This is supported by the fact that some students do not know the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and learning motivation, which can arouse students' intentions for entrepreneurship. Therefore, this research aims to see the effect of creativity and learning motivation on the entrepreneurial intentions of VHS students majoring in fisheries. This research is ex post facto research with a quantitative approach because the data is generated in the form of numbers and analyzed based on statistical analysis. The sample in this research was 100 students, and the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The data analysis technique used is multiple regression analysis. The results of this research explain that creativity has an influence on entrepreneurial intentions, and learning motivation has an influence on entrepreneurial intentions. This is evidenced through the results of the t-test where the sig value obtained is 0.003, whose value is much smaller than 0.05 (0.001 0.05) and the t-count is greater than the t-table (2.614 1.984), so it can be said that creativity has an influence on entrepreneurial intention, as well as the learning motivation variable where the t-count value is greater than the t-table (2.679 1.984). This research contributes to the literature by providing insight into the role of creativity and learning motivation in shaping student entrepreneurial intentions, which can inform the development of entrepreneurship education programs and policies.
