Health Knowledge Acquisition and Health Communication Ability of Nurses: A Chain Mediating Model of Health Literacy and Health Education Competence.

The health communication ability of nurses significantly impacts patients' health positively. A strong knowledge base is essential for nurses to deliver high-quality health communication. This study aims to explore the mechanisms linking nurse health knowledge acquisition and health communication ability. A cross-sectional study. This cross-sectional study utilised convenience sampling of 667 nurses from nine county-level hospitals. Questionnaires were used to assess health knowledge acquisition, health literacy, health education competence and health literacy communication ability in nurses. Structural equation modelling was employed to investigate the mechanisms linking nurse health knowledge acquisition and health literacy communication ability. The correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships among nurses' health knowledge acquisition, health literacy, health education competence and health communication ability. The chain-mediating model indicated that health knowledge acquisition significantly influences health communication ability, with a total effect, comprising a direct effect and an indirect effect. The indirect effects were mediated either independently by health education competence or through a combination of health literacy and health education competence. A structural equation model was developed to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex interplay among nurses' health knowledge acquisition, health literacy, health education competence and health communication ability. The model demonstrates that health knowledge acquisition has a significant overall effect and indirect effect on the improvement of health communication ability. Assisting nurses in translating health knowledge into health literacy may be a crucial step in enhancing their competence in health education. These findings enhance our understanding of the predictive effects of health knowledge acquisition on health communication ability and offer practical implications for the promoting and intervening in the health communication ability of nurses.

Utilizing Simulated Telemedicine Encounters to Conduct Nationwide Studies of Physician Communication Practices.

Introduction: High-quality communication and shared decision making (SDM) are crucial elements of effective patient care. SDM conversations are intimate and logistically challenging to capture. Evaluating alternative methods to effectively observe how physicians conduct these conversations may improve research efforts in this core discipline of medicine. Methods: In two distinct qualitative studies (A and B), subspecialist physicians participated in a telemedicine encounter with a simulated patient facing a high-stakes treatment decision. Results: Thirty-seven transplant hematologists (A) and 21 medical oncologists (B) from across the United States successfully completed a telemedicine encounter with a trained actor, allowing for qualitative analysis of their SDM conversations. Discussion: Simulated telemedicine encounters are a feasible method for studying how a broad sample of subspecialty physicians conduct difficult conversations, such as emotionally fraught SDM conversations. This model could improve understanding of the current practice of SDM, identify opportunities for improvement, and serve as a framework for ongoing research of physician communication practices.

The relationship of strategic communications with internal and foreign policy processes in the context of integration

The processes of domestic and foreign policy are inextricably linked with the desire to integrate the country into the international community. They interact and influence each other, creating favorable conditions for effective integration. Domestic policy reforms and changes aimed at increasing stability, development of democracy, rule of law and effective governance create a positive environment for integration, and stability and developed democracy are important factors for attracting foreign investment and establishing partnerships with other countries. Foreign policy strategies aimed at the development of international relations, cooperation and diplomacy ensure the active participation of the country in the international arena – participation in international organizations, signing of international treaties and agreements, as well as the development of joint strategies with other countries. An important component of the integration process is a developed communication strategy aimed at interaction with the international community and attracting support for integration initiatives. It involves the promotion of the state’s own ideas and interests, as well as interaction with other countries and international organizations. The interrelationship of strategic communications with internal and foreign policy processes in the context of the desire for integration is key to the successful implementation of foreign policy strategies and the achievement of the state’s foreign policy goals. Through effective communication, the state can present itself positively on the international arena, attract investments, increase exports and improve its international status. Communication strategies influence the perception of state positions and proposals during international negotiations and the conclusion of treaties. High-quality communication is designed to ensure understanding and support of the country’s interests in the international community. Therefore, the relationship between strategic communications and domestic and foreign policy is important for achieving the country’s successful integration into the international community and ensuring internal stability and prosperity.

Evidence Communication Rules for Policy (ECR-P) critical appraisal tool

BackgroundScientific papers increasingly put forward scientific-based policy recommendations (SPRs) as a means of closing the circle of science, policy and practice. Assessing the quality of such SPRs is crucial, especially within the context of a systematic review. Here, we present ECR-P (Evidence Communication Rules for Policy)—a critical appraisal tool that we have developed, which can be used in assessing not only the quality of SPRs but also the quality of their evidence base and how effectively these have both been communicated.MethodsThe rationale behind ECR-P centres on three dimensions of quality; two are the well-established concepts of internal and external validity. Here, we introduce a third—evidence communication—encompassing both evidence veracity and quality of communication. Elements of the three dimensions of quality are considered within the context of the five rules of evidence communication. These are as follows: inform, not persuade; offer balance, not false balance; disclose uncertainties; state evidence quality and pre-empt misunderstandings.ResultsDevelopment of ECR-P has been carried out by an interdisciplinary team and was piloted with a systematic review reported more fully elsewhere. ECR-P comprises a set of preliminary considerations which capture key aspects for the assessment, leading on to the main tool whose structure is domain-based, each domain mapping to one of the five rules of evidence communication. The domains include 25 signalling questions designed to obtain essential information for the critical appraisal. The questions focus on either the study’s evidence or the policy recommendations. Domain-based judgement is derived from responses to the signalling questions and an accompanying algorithm, followed by an overall quality judgement.ConclusionsECR-P has been designed to provide a standardised and transparent approach to assess the quality and communication of SPRs and their evidence base. The tool, which could be applied across all scientific fields, has been developed to fit primarily with the systematic reviewing process but could also serve as a stand-alone tool. Besides review assessors, it can also be used by policymakers, researchers, peer reviewers, editors and any other stakeholders interested in evidence-based policymaking and high-quality evidence communication. We encourage further independent testing of the tool in real-world evidence-based research.

Conflict, communication, and the ‘good’ parent construct: separated parents’ experiences with Australian schools

ABSTRACT Education research and policy has paid significant attention to parent–school relationships; however, this work almost completely lacks any consideration of diverse family structures. This research confronts an important gap in the educational literature: the extent to which diverse families, in particular separated parents, are both acknowledged and accommodated within the Australian school system. In this study, data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with separated parents residing in Australia. The data revealed that parents’ interactions and communications with their children’s schools were shaped by their perception of their visibility or invisibility in the eyes of the school. Thus, the findings demonstrate that high-quality communication between separated parents and schools through policies and processes that recognise and accommodate diverse family structures can allow separated parents to better manage their relationships with their children’s schools. Without further interrogation of normative expectations of parenting, and without deeper consideration of how school communication needs to change to accommodate family diversity, separated parents, particularly those in high-conflict co-parenting relationships, will continue to express dissatisfaction with their children’s schools.

Development of telecommunications in the Arctic regions of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)

The article examines the prospects and directions for the development of communications in the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where ensuring stable and high-quality communications is critical for the social and economic integration of the region, as well as for improving the standard of living of the local population. The paper analyzes the current state of the telecommunications infrastructure, covering satellite, mobile and fiber-optic networks, with a special focus on the key challenges faced by residents of remote areas: high costs of services, complex logistics and limited availability of broadband Internet. The article also considers federal and regional programs, such as the Arctic Synergy project and the Polar Express underwater communication line, aimed at improving telecommunications coverage, eliminating digital inequality and reducing social isolation in remote areas. Technological solutions are proposed, including the introduction of 4G and 5G networks, the use of satellite systems and the integration of renewable energy sources, which are assessed as strategic approaches that can improve the quality of services and support the development of digital infrastructure. In conclusion, the authors point out that sustainable development of communications in the Arctic requires not only the introduction of modern technologies, but also continued government support, including subsidies to reduce the cost of services. They also emphasize the importance of developing infrastructure adapted to extreme climatic conditions and creating backup communication channels that will ensure the reliability and stability of telecommunications services in remote Arctic regions.

Bias Tunable SnS2/ReSe2 Tunneling Photodetector with High Responsivity and Fast Response Speed.

2D photodetectors operating in photovoltaic mode exhibit a trade-off between response speed and photoresponsivity. This work presents a phototransistor based on SnS2/ReSe2 heterojunction. Under negative bias, the energy band spike at the heterojunction interface impedes the carrier drifting so that the dark current is as low as 10-13A. The tunneling under positive bias significantly reduces the transmission time of photogenerated carriers, which enhances the responsivity and specific detectivity to 32.77AW-1 and 5.77×1011Jones, respectively. Under reverse bias, the enhanced built-in electric field strengthens the rapid separation of photogenerated carriers, which elevates a response speed to 10.5/24.1µs and a 3dB bandwidth to 54.8kHz. The device also exhibits a broad spectral detection capability, extending from the near-ultraviolet to the near-infrared. Furthermore, this work also executed high-quality ASCII communication and high-resolution broadband single-pixel imaging, which demonstrates great promise for incorporation into future broadband optoelectronic systems.

Digital Twin Enhanced Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Large-Scale Mobile Network Coverage Optimization

With the rapid advancement of communication technology and the exponential growth of mobile users, improving network coverage quality and throughput has become increasingly important. In particular, large-scale Base Station (BS) cooperative optimization has become a highly significant topic. BSs can adjust various parameters for high-quality communication, but automating this optimization remains challenging due to environmental sensitivity and interdependencies. Traditional methods for network optimization are constrained by the intricate nature of real-world environments. Further, Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques, which are effective for configuration policies, encounter difficulties in intricate, high-dimensional wireless communication networks, especially in multi-agent cooperative optimization. To overcome these challenges, this article proposes the Enhanced Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (EMAPPO), which utilizes the capabilities of the UNet network to extract multi-spatial relationships among a massive number of network elements and employs the DiffPool network to efficiently depict the impact of large-scale action coordination among massive agents on coverage performance. To facilitate evaluation in communication optimization, we further introduce a high-fidelity digital twin-driven mobile network. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and superior performance of EMAPPO by utilizing the network digital twin. The results demonstrate significant improvements in signal coverage rate and network throughput compared to the competing methods.

A Miniature Batteryless Bioelectronic Implant Using One Magnetoelectric Transducer for Wireless Powering and PWM Backscatter Communication.

Wireless minimally invasive bioelectronic implants enable a wide range of applications in healthcare, medicine, and scientific research. Magnetoelectric (ME) wireless power transfer (WPT) has emerged as a promising approach for powering miniature bio-implants because of its remarkable efficiency, safety limit, and misalignment tolerance. However, achieving low-power and high-quality uplink communication using ME remains a challenge. This paper presents a pulse-width modulated (PWM) ME backscatter uplink communication enabled by a switched-capacitor energy extraction (SCEE) technique. The SCEE rapidly extracts and dissipates the kinetic energy within the ME transducer during its ringdown period, enabling time-domain PWM in ME backscatter. Various circuit techniques are presented to realize SCEE with low power consumption. This paper also describes the high-order modeling of ME transducers to facilitate the design and analysis, which shows good matching with measurement. Our prototyping system includes a millimeter-scale ME implant with a fully integrated system-on-chip (SoC) and a portable transceiver for power transfer and bidirectional communication. SCEE is proven to induce >50% amplitude reduction within 2 ME cycles, leading to a PWM ME backscatter uplink with 17.73 kbps data rate and 0.9 pJ/bit efficiency. It also achieves 8.5 × 10-5 bit-error-rate (BER) at a 5 cm distance, using a lightweight multi-layer-perception (MLP) decoding algorithm. Finally, the system demonstrates continuous wireless neural local-field potential (LFP) recording in an in vitro setup.

Parents' Experiences With and Preferences for Receiving Information About Tumor Genomic Sequencing: Findings From a Qualitative Study and Implications for Practice.

The use of up-front tumor genomic sequencing (TGS) is becoming increasingly common in pediatric oncology. Despite this, little is known about how parents receive information about TGS at the time of their child's cancer diagnosis. We aimed to describe parents' experiences with and preferences for receiving information about TGS and to use these findings to inform practical guidance for pediatric oncology clinicians. We conducted semistructured interviews with English-speaking parents (older than 18 years) of patients (younger than 18 years) who had TGS for a new diagnosis of cancer. We analyzed the interviews thematically. Participants also completed a short demographic survey, and we obtained medical information about participants' children via chart review. We interviewed 20 parents (14 mothers; median age, 38 years) of children who underwent TGS for a newly diagnosed cancer (10 leukemias/lymphomas, three CNS tumors, seven other solid tumors). Children were 6 months to 17 years at diagnosis (median, 6 years). Fifteen parents and their children were White, two of whom were Hispanic and four of whose children were Hispanic. No participants identified themselves or their child as Black. We identified the following themes regarding information delivery about genomic testing from the interviews: (1) those in the parent role have some universal information needs; (2) information delivery preferences vary among parents, even within one family; and (3) parents desire standard yet tailored information delivery. Parents made suggestions consistent with elements of established high-quality communication in pediatric oncology. As genomic testing is more standardly incorporated into childhood cancer care, communication with parents may need to adapt to reflect this. Our findings highlight potential opportunities to support parents in receiving information about genomic testing.

Advanced Miniaturized Microstrip Patch Antenna Design for High-Efficiency 5G Applications

Abstract This work presents a compact microstrip patch antenna design for 5G applications, which operates in 25 GHz, 28 GHz, and 32 GHz frequency bands and provides triple-band functionality. The proposed antenna has a compact volume of 15.4 × 12.8 × 1 mm, contributing to its miniaturization, which is crucial for 5G communication systems. To optimize return loss characteristics, a line slot is introduced on the patch. The slot width is optimized using an XGBoost prediction model, which serves as an objective function for a Coati optimization technique. This optimization aims to achieve an optimal slot length that results in a superior return loss of -30 dB. The proposed antenna shows a peak gain of 7.3 dB at 28 GHz and exhibits an exceptional radiation efficiency of 98 %. The design and manufacture of this antenna validates its high gain and superior return loss in the specified triple bands, making it suitable for reliable and efficient 5G communication systems. The combination of compact size, high gain, and efficient return loss optimization ensures that this antenna meets the demanding requirements of modern 5G technology. The use of advanced optimization techniques, such as the XGBoost prediction model and Coati optimization, highlights the innovative approach of this design. This methodology not only improves the antenna's performance but also ensures that it can be effectively integrated into compact 5G devices, providing robust and high-quality communication capabilities. The success of this design underlines its potential for widespread application in the rapidly evolving field of 5G communications and offers a promising solution for future wireless technologies.

Digital forensics in the provision of crime prevention activities

The article is devoted to the consideration of issues of digitalization of social and other processes of existence and development of the state, society, its economic, industrial, communication, and information spheres, as well as the impact of digital technologies on crime and the activities of law enforcement agencies fighting against it. It was noted that the use of digital technologies brought a lot of positive things to social and industrial practice, facilitated the performance of many tasks in the production of products, in the field of management of state and industrial and social processes, expanded opportunities for high-quality and fast communication between people using computer systems and networks, the worldwide Internet. The use of advanced scientific developments and modern technologies for illegal purposes created difficulties for timely identification of signs of preparation of crimes, collection of evidence and implementation of evidence during pre-trial investigation. Certain difficulties in proving the guilt of criminals are due to the emergence of new and little-studied evidence – electronic and their sources, with the study of evidentiary information in digital form and its use in evidence. The science of criminology and its new direction - digital criminology - should help in the fulfillment of tasks to combat crime. These questions are widely discussed today by Ukrainian and foreign scientists and practitioners. Some of them consider digital forensics as a separate science that deals with the fight against cybercrimes and crimes that are committed using a computer. However, the authors of the article, relying on the opinions of domestic and foreign scientists, prove that digital forensics is not a separate science, but a direction of the traditional science of forensics, the provisions of which cover issues of forensic techniques, tactics and methods of crime investigation. Its developments are aimed at the search, research and use in proving electronic evidence and digital traces. The author’s understanding of the main tasks of digital forensics is formulated, the solution of which is necessary for the optimal integration of electronic evidence into the system of traditional evidence and ensuring their recognition by judicial practice.

SWOT analysis as a tool for selecting text materials for the formation of English communicative competence of students of non-linguistic specialties

The study is devoted to the implementation of SWOT analysis as an auxiliary criterion for the selection of text material in the formation of English communicative competence for students of non-linguistic specialties. The article examines the concept of communicative competence, as a complex phenomenon of students’ availability of appropriate abilities and skills for high-quality foreign language communication. The main groups of criteria for the selection of text material have been outlined, including 1) subject-scientific ones; 2) linguistic stylistic; 3) methodological; 4) person-oriented. The concept of SWOT analysis has been summarized and the components of the matrix of this analysis have been analyzed, namely: the factors of positive influence of the internal environment are – Strengths, the negative factors – Weaknesses, and the factors of external influence are Opportunities, and the negative ones are Threats. The use of SWOT analysis, based on the classic qualitative criteria for text selection has been proposed as follows: Strengths – linguistic stylistic criteria of variety of types and genres and professionally oriented lexical units; Weaknesses – methodological criteria of authenticity, accessibility, adaptability, etc.; Opportunities – subject-scientific criteria of novelty, informational value and the presence of paralinguistic components; Threats are person-oriented criteria of relevance and practical value. An analysis of the English-language text has been carried out according to the proposed SWOT-analysis model and qualitative criteria for the selection of text material have been highlighted as well.

Collaboration strategies affecting implementation of a cross-systems intervention for child welfare and substance use treatment: a mixed methods analysis

BackgroundCollaboration strategies refer to policies and practices used to align operations and services across organizations or systems. These strategies can influence implementation of cross-system interventions focused on improving integration of care, but remain under-specified and under-examined. This study identifies collaboration strategies and the conditions under which they affected implementation of Sobriety Treatment and Recovery Teams (START), an evidence-based intervention focused on integrating child welfare and behavioral health services for families involved with both systems.MethodsOur study sample included 17 county child welfare agencies that implemented START. Data on collaboration strategies and organizational context were obtained from key informant interviews, frontline worker surveys, and contracts. Contextual data were drawn from secondary data, and fidelity data were drawn from an administrative database. Qualitative and quantitative data were integrated using coincidence analysis, and used to identify combinations of conditions that uniquely differentiated agencies with higher and lower fidelity to START.ResultsFidelity was lower for intervention components requiring cross-system collaboration. Although key informants acknowledged the importance of collaboration for START implementation, few agencies used formal collaboration strategies other than staff co-location or reported high communication quality between frontline staff in child welfare and behavioral health. In coincidence analysis, four conditions differentiated agencies with higher and lower fidelity with 100% consistency and 88% coverage. We found that either strong leadership support or, in high need communities, third-party resource support from local behavioral health boards were sufficient for high fidelity. Similarly, in high need communities, absence of third-party resource support was sufficient for low fidelity, while in low need communities, absence of communication quality was sufficient for low fidelity.ConclusionAdministrators, frontline workers, and interested third parties (i.e., other stakeholders not directly involved in implementation) can use collaboration strategies to facilitate implementation. However, the effectiveness of collaboration strategies depends on local context. In agencies where internal leadership support for implementation is low but need for intervention is high, third-party resource support may still be sufficient for high fidelity. Further research is needed to test effectiveness of collaboration strategies in different conditions and on a broader range of process and implementation outcomes.Trials registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03931005, Registered 04/29/2019, https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03931005.

Family perspectives on delirium information provision in an inpatient setting.

Delirium is common in older hospitalised patients and is associated with significant distress in family members who witness it. Education-based interventions can support the family of people with delirium. This study aimed to understand the perspective of family members of people with delirium regarding the information they received and opportunities for improvement. We performed 10 semi-structured interviews of 11 family members (one mother-daughter dyad) of people with delirium greater than 65 years of age across two sub-acute Geriatric Evaluation and Management units in Victoria, Australia. Interviews were inductively analysed by the lead investigator to identify themes related to the information provided and opportunities for improvement. We identified three themes related to delirium information provision: (1) delirium knowledge is not common; (2) information should consider the broad complex of the person; and (3) lived experience of delirium was helpful. We identified five themes with regard to opportunities to improve delirium information provision: (1) Good communication skills are important; (2) Regular communication is helpful; (3) Family wish to be present and know how to be involved; (4) Information provision should include prognosis; (5) Written information can support verbal information. Information provision to family members should take into account their existing knowledge and experience and consider their family member as a whole. High quality, regular, written and oral communication from health-care professionals is likely to prove helpful.

Physician perspectives on communication quality in pediatric care.

We aimed to explore physician perspectives on communication quality across pediatric contexts. We conducted semi-structured interviews over a 4-month period. Purposive sampling was conducted to ensure a broad sampling of pediatricians from multiple subspecialties and practice settings. Interviews were conducted until thematic saturation was reached. An interview guide was created based on existing literature. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for key themes. Eleven pediatricians enrolled in our study. Following thematic analysis, results were organized into four primary themes: Communication Education, High Quality Communication; Low Quality Communication; and Communication Factors and Barriers. Participants prioritized information transfer as a key aspect of communication quality. They identified communication quality as having wellness implications for clinicians. Participants prioritize information transfer and state that clinicians often neglect bidirectional information exchange. Participants often lacked formal communication skills training which may make it difficult to navigate common barriers such as language and cultural differences, lack of time, and interprofessional dysfunction. Formal communication skills training may help overcome challenges and may enhance physician wellness while improving patient care. While the importance of clinician-parent communication in pediatric settings has been established, little is known about provider perceptions of communication quality. Participants identified information transfer as a key aspect of communication quality, often neglecting bidirectional information exchange. Participants often lacked formal communication skills training which may make it difficult to navigate common barriers such as language and cultural differences, lack of time, and interprofessional dysfunction. Formal communication skills training may help with these challenges and may enhance physician wellness while improving patient care. More work is needed to explore the impact of communication skills training on each of these factors.

Teamworking in Dentistry: The Importance for Dentists, Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists to Work Effectively Together-A Narrative Review.

To consider teamworking in dentistry, focusing especially on the role of dental hygienists (DHs) and dental therapists (DTs) as part of the dental team. A narrative review of studies that have investigated teamworking in periodontology and dentistry in general together with consideration of examples of relevant regulatory and governmental policy documents. The inclusion of DHs and DTs as key members of the dental team yields significant patient benefits in terms of access to care (particularly among under-served populations), efficient and effective treatment and improved healthcare outcomes for patients. However, barriers can exist to full implementation of effective working in dental teams, including both systemic and regulatory barriers, as well as attitudinal barriers. Furthermore, DHs and DTs are not always working to their full scope of practice, thereby limiting the care that these team members can provide. Mutual respect between dental team members, high-quality communication and a common ethos and shared clinical standards are all essential for effective teamworking. DHs and DTs have a clear role to play in achieving sustainable improvements in oral and dental health for patient populations globally. Full and effective integration of DHs and DTs into healthcare teams will benefit not only the dental team, but also healthcare systems and patient populations, via more effective teamworking, improved access to care and enhanced treatment outcomes.
