Problems experienced by nurses working in the region affected by Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Turkey and their recommendations for risk reduction: A descriptive and cross-sectional study

Nurses have crucial roles and responsibilities for ensuring the sustainability of health services during disaster periods. One of these roles and responsibilities is to guide future planning efforts in light of their experiences and problems. This study was conducted with 130 nurses as a descriptive and cross-sectional study to identify the experiences and recommendations of nurses working in the region affected by earthquakes centered around the Kahramanmaraş province of Turkey. The snowball sampling method, which is a purposive sampling method, was used in the study, and the data were collected using an online survey form. In this study, it was found that nurses worked as emergency nurses or first aid and triage nurses voluntarily or on temporary assignment in hospitals across the region affected by earthquakes and would like to continue to work in the region. It was discerned that the participants experienced primarily psychological problems at the individual level, and in the context of nursing services, they mostly had managerial and organizational problems during the period when they worked in the region. In light of these problems, the participants recommended that the competencies of nurses be enhanced through training programs and by organizing events to have a more effective disaster preparation, and the managerial skills and psychological coping skills of nurses be improved. In the direction of these results, the experiences and recommendations of nurses should be used for enhancing their disaster preparedness and designing more effective plans for the future, and in particular, their psychological coping skills should be improved, and the management and organization skills of those taking roles in disaster management should be enhanced.

75 The Association Between Cognitive Function and Older Adults Performance on a Naturalistic Cooking Task in the Home Environment

Objective:Cognitive impairment can affect an individual’s ability to perform routine tasks. In this study, we investigate how cognitive abilities relate to the accuracy and efficiency of performance on a naturalistic cooking task completed in older adults’ home environments. We hypothesized a positive association between task accuracy and global cognitive status, and task efficiency and executive functioning. We further hypothesized a negative association between omission errors and immediate and delayed memory recall.Participants and Methods:Fourteen community-dwelling older adults (Age, M = 73.92 years; Female = 9; Education, M = 16.38 years) along the continuum from normal aging to mild dementia completed a “Cooking Task” in their home environment. Specifically, participants were instructed to fry or scramble an egg, prepare slice of toast with jelly, serve side of sliced apple, pour glass of water, bring prepared items to table, and clean dishes used. Participants received ingredients necessary for task completion and a task list to reference. The task efficiency score (range 0-6) was based on multi-tasking and organizational skills (e.g., beginning the egg task early in session, plating items as prepared). Overall accuracy was computed by identifying error types (e.g., inefficiencies, substitutions, omissions, and subtasks attempted) and scaling accuracy (range 1-5) for each subtask, then summing all six subtask accuracy scores to get overall accuracy (range 6-30). Participants also completed a range of neuropsychological assessments, which included the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status, Letter and Category Fluency from the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System, and immediate and delayed recall measures from the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status. Due to the small sample size, findings are preliminary, and scatterplots were evaluated for outliers that might influence findings.Results:Consistent with hypotheses, as overall accuracy on the Cooking Task increased so did performance on the global cognitive measure (TICS: r = 0.61, p = 0.02). Lower rates of omission errors were also associated with better performance on both immediate (r = -0.75, p < 0.01) and delayed (r = -0.55, p = 0.04) recall indices. However, these findings were not specific, as overall accuracy also significantly correlated with the memory indices and verbal fluency measures (ps < 0.05). Additionally, lower rates of omission errors significantly correlated with performance on the TICS and the D-KEFS Letter Fluency (ps < 0.05). Contrary to our hypothesis, no significant associations were found between cooking task efficiency and executive functioning (D-KEFS subtests). There were also no significant correlations between cooking task efficiency and global cognitive status or memory.Conclusions:The present study supported our hypotheses that better overall task accuracy is associated with higher cognitive status and lower rates of omission errors correlate with better immediate and delayed recall abilities. However, the findings were not specific to these domains of functioning but rather suggest that clinical assessments measuring a range of cognitive abilities are related to the accuracy of daily task performance and omission errors on routine daily tasks. Future research will explore the validity of the efficiency measure.

Evaluation of online learning readiness in the new distance learning normality

The COVID-19 pandemic influenced teaching and learning in higher education. The transformation towards digital education challenged Faculty and students. This research examines the online learning readiness of students in a Higher Education Institution in Mexico. Specifically, we investigated how much prior digital skills, as well as having used the digital resources available by the university, influenced their academic achievement in distance learning settings. Seven dimensions of online learning readiness were selected to evaluate the student's preparation for the online learning process. Questionnaires were applied before the start and at the end of digital courses. Follow-up tools were offered to support the student, and two groups were observed, users and non-users of the digital devices. It was observed that students who used the support developed significantly better critical thinking, problem-solving, and time organization skills than non-users. On the other hand, although the evaluations were not significantly different, the lowest averages were found in the non-user group. Our results indicate that prior training in the use of digital tools is essential for the success of online education; in the same way, a timely follow-up with technical and pedagogical assistance is necessary for developing competencies. Training more autonomous and independent students capable of distance learning in a global world demands experts in digital education urgently. Educational institutions must embrace new technologies and teaching methods to meet the ever-changing needs of students. This research is expected to play a crucial role in promoting constructive discussions and facilitating informed decisions concerning the creation of future educational models.

Perceived Control Over Time Among College Students with and without Attention Deficits and/or Specific Learning Disorders.

Background: College students cope with a variety of activities that demand organizational skills which may increase stress. Perceived control over time is the perception of having enough time to finish one’s work meet one’s deadlines. This influences time management behaviors, satisfaction, independent engagement in daily activities, academic success and stress. Aim: To evaluate the self-perception of daily functions and control over time among college students with and without Attention Deficits and/or Specific Learning Disorders, who were seeking support, correlated with their demographic characteristics. Method: Participants: Thirty-six students (3 males, 33 females), mean age 23.42 + 4.80, who approached the college's student support center. Instruments: Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF- A) and Time Organization and Participation Scale (TOPS). Results: Significant correlations were found between the BRIEF - A and the TOPS subscales. Comorbidity of SLD and ADHD was associated with a lower perceived performance as measured in those scales while the demographic variables did not. Conclusions: Occupational therapists may have an important role in students' support centers and are encouraged to evaluate perceived control over time, of students, facilitate time management skills, and guide a discovery of strategies for balancing between demanding academic and extra curriculums tasks.

A57Simulated Practice as a Method to Promote Legitimate Peripheral Participation

Simulated sessions are widely used within medical education. Despite the potential benefits of simulated learning, it suffers from a narrow scope of practice; acute, emergency presentations and procedural skills. There is less research for its utility in sub-acute and chronic disease management. To develop expertise in medical practice, learners require sufficient foundational knowledge to facilitate more complex behaviours [1]. Within ward environments, lack of foundational knowledge in both ‘hard’ (knowledge) skills, and ‘soft’ (organizational) skills can limit learners’ potential for development. Considering legitimate peripheral participation theory, learners require ‘enculturing’ into an institution to develop ‘soft’ skills. Examples of ‘soft’ skills include understanding problem solving approaches, language, values and norms of the profession [2]. To design and assess the educational impact of simulated ward round teaching sessions on medical students in semi-acute settings, focussing on ‘enculturing’ skills. This was a prospective study. We created a ward round-based simulation session, with six simulated patient scenarios, designed for clinical placement level medical students. Ten students were included in the study. We utilized an induction exercise to familiarize students with medical documentation, a simulated ward round, and a consolidation exercise reviewing discharge paperwork and prescriptions. A simulated patient was present in each scenario, with a member of faculty facilitating. Simulated ward round entries, nursing handover queries and investigations were provided to students. Scenarios were 20 minutes; with objectives to produce ward round documentation and generate holistic clinical management decisions. Students participated in a ‘board round’, which served as a forum for station specific feedback. Enculturing values were assessed via a 40-point, knowledge based formative assessment, covering the main themes of the session: appropriate documentation, medical abbreviations, and clinical decision-making. Assessment was administered both pre- and post-session. Qualitative feedback of the session was obtained from learners to identify themes for further development. There was a significant improvement in knowledge following the session (see Results of pre- and post-intervention knowledge assessment Our results demonstrate an increased sense of empowerment in the study population. Simulated practice can be used effectively to enhance learning in sub-acute medical situations. Enculturing skills were particularly enhanced; promoting future learning through orientation within zones of legitimate peripheral participation.

A qualitative evaluation of the specific carbohydrate diet for juvenile idiopathic arthritis based on children’s and parents’ experiences

BackgroundInsights into the immunological role of the gastrointestinal tract in autoimmune conditions have led to the investigation of diet as a potential adjunctive treatment option for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) has shown promising results. However, studies on participants’ experiences of dietary interventions in JIA are rare. In this study we investigated the experiences of children and parents’ who had participated in a four-week intervention with SCD aiming to examine the potential anti-inflammatory effects.ObjectivesTo conduct a qualitative evaluation exploring children’s and parents’ experiences of the dietary intervention, how they navigated challenges, and their support requirements.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 children and 15 parents from 13 families, who were interviewed individually and together. The transcripts were analysed using systematic text condensation.ResultsMost participants interviewed found the intervention beneficial, with 12 out of 13 reporting positive effects, such as reduced pain and morning stiffness, and improved gastrointestinal function. Many participants reported being willing to repeat the intervention in the current form. Despite facing challenges, all children followed the diet for one to three months, with some continuing to follow a modified version. Facing the socio-emotional consequences of adhering to the diet was challenging for children. These were handled by focusing on the positive aspects and by relying on the supportive environment available. Parents struggled with practical issues since the diet required hard work, time, and money. Areas identified as requiring additional support include finding simple, quick, and child-friendly solutions, strengthening organizational food skills such as meal planning, and preparation prior to starting the intervention regarding socio-emotional aspects.ConclusionNavigating the dietary treatment was considered challenging, practically for the parents and socio-emotionally for the children. Based on the reported challenges and participants’ suggestions the intervention could be optimised by providing support and solutions in relation to the practical issues and better preparation regarding dealing with the socio-emotional consequences. Despite the difficulties, the participants reported overall positive experiences of, and attitudes towards, the current setup. Consequently, dietary interventions, such as the SCD, may be regarded as suitable targets for further research.

Health coaching for undergraduate nursing students: a pilot study for an action research.

The Nursing undergraduate degree educational program represents an intensive and complex course, and includes a number of professionalizing practical internships, and for these reasons it requires an action to support and improve. Coaching is based on the premise that people have personal strengths and abilities which, through a interview, can be directed to solving their problems. Several studies demonstrate the efficacy of Health Coaching in different University, but never have been measured benefits regard skills improving. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of a health coaching program on the nursing students. A pre-post quasi-experimental study was conducted, involving the activation of a Health Coaching Program for 25 nursing students selected through convenience sampling, based on their fulfillment of the inclusion criteria. The Health Coaching Program was administered by the Health Coaching Academy. This study also evaluated parameters such as: level of concentration in study, motivation, problem solving and reorganization skills, study organization skills, psycho-physical-emotional state comprehension, decision-making skills and self-esteem, noting a statistically significant increase post-HC program. A statistically significant improvement was also found in the students' perception of their own stress management skills after the course. This study strengthens the hypothesis that HC programs contribute to improving performance of nursing students. Those conclusions need to be corroborated by future studies on the topic to further support the hypothesis that programs of HC within the learning nursing contexts can lead to a tangible benefit for students of the health professions.

An evidence-informed policymaking (EIPM) competency profile for the Brazilian Health System developed through consensus: process and outcomes

BackgroundEvidence-informed policymaking (EIPM) requires a set of individual and organizational knowledge, skills and attitudes that should be articulated with background factors and needs. In this regard, the development of an EIPM competency profile is important to support the diagnosis, planning and implementation of EIPM.PurposeTo present the process and outcomes of the development of an EIPM competency profile by an expert committee, to be applied in different contexts of the Brazilian Health System.MethodsA committee of experts in EIPM shared different views, experiences and opinions to develop an EIPM competency profile for Brazil. In six consensus workshops mediated by facilitators, the committee defined from macro problems to key actions and performances essential for the competency profile. The development steps consisted of: (1) Constitution of the committee, including researchers, professionals with practical experience, managers, and educators; (2) Development of a rapid review on EIPM competency profiles; (3) Agreement on commitments and responsibilities in the processes; (4) Identification and definition of macro problems relating to the scope of the competency profile; and (5) Outlining of general and specific capacities, to be incorporated into the competency profile, categorized by key actions.ResultsThe development of the EIPM competency profile was guided by the following macro problems: (1) lack of systematic and transparent decision-making processes in health policy management; (2) underdeveloped institutional capacity for knowledge management and translation; and (3) incipient use of scientific evidence in the formulation and implementation of health policies. A general framework of key actions and performances of the EIPM Competency Profile for Brazil was developed, including 42 specific and general key actions distributed by area of activity (Health Management, Scientific Research, Civil Society, Knowledge Translation, and Cross-sectional areas).ConclusionsThe competency profile presented in this article can be used in different contexts as a key tool for the institutionalization of EIPM.

B - 55 The Impact of Trauma on Executive Functioning.

Individuals seeking neuropsychological assessment frequently present with executive dysfunction and often have trauma histories. This study examines the relationship between Posttraumatic Stress symptoms measured by the Trauma Symptom Inventoy- 2 (TSI-2) and performance on the Delis- Kaplan Executive Function System (DKEFS) Tower Test, which is commonly used in clinical research settings to evaluate executive functioning. The task involves planning, considering multiple possibilities, and adjusting based on feedback. All participants (n = 54) had experienced trauma over the course of their life. Participants were classified into two groups based on the TSI-2 PTSD factor score: the control group (n = 33, T score 60). Result: While the Tower total achievement scores did not differ between clinical groups, there were effects seen on the efficiency of their performance. A one-way ANOVA indicated that the control group significantly were more efficient in their moves to complete the task compared to the PTSD group (F(1, 52) = 6.589, p = 0.013). The symptomatic group performed lower on the Tower Move Accuracy ratio despite comparable overall Tower achievement, which suggests poorer planning and organization skills. While the total sample in this study presented with a trauma history, the groupings were based on the presence or absence of current PTSD symptoms. Consistent with Stricker et al. (2015), current trauma symptoms appear to influence performance on executive functioning tasks.

Employer’s Satisfaction on Accounting Internship in Digital Learning Environment

The accounting profession plays a vital role in organizations’ financial stability and transparency, making it imperative to examine the satisfaction levels of employers regarding the quality and preparedness of accounting interns. Limited knowledge about how employers perceive the value of accounting interns who have engaged in digital learning experiences throughout their undergraduate studies is known. The study aims to examine the impact of digital learning environments on employer satisfaction with accounting interns in three different aspects, namely technical and functional skills, communication skills and organizational management skills. The study surveyed a sample of employers that had hosted accounting internships in 2022. The findings of this study revealed that employers have a high level of satisfaction towards accounting interns in the digital learning environment. This has significant implications for various stakeholders, including educational institutions, employers, accounting interns and the accounting profession as a whole. It offers insights into how academic institutions can better align their curriculum and support systems with the needs and expectations of employers, thus bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world accounting practice.

ON THE FEASIBILITY OF TEACHING LIGHTING ENGINEERING FOR SPECIALISTS IN CIVIL SECURITY

Statement of the problem. The article analyzes the state of lighting of industrial premises, which plays an important role in preventing occupational injuries. The issues of energy saving and energy efficiency are considered, which are even more important for Ukraine today than ever. It is shown that the maximum potential for energy savings can be achieved by increasing the rate of production of the most advanced types of lamps, cessation of production of morally and technically obsolete types of lighting fixtures, as well as due to the banal attraction of public attention to the use of new and economic light sources. It is also shown that important obstacles to the innovative development of domestic lighting companies are the problems of technical re-equipment of production, imperfection of traditional approaches, methodological and organizational skills of innovation, as well as technical factors such as depreciation of fixed assets, lack of methodological support for technical re-equipment. The main tasks that will help solve the problems of irrational use of electricity are presented. Objective. Providing fundamental training of highly qualified personnel who would acquire deep knowledge to perform professional tasks and responsibilities of an innovative nature in the field of lighting, selection, design and calculation of lighting of industrial premises and knowledge in the field of safety when using a particular type of lighting fixtures in different types of premises. Conclusion. When studying the issues related to the selection of certain lighting fixtures for production, you need to know the basic requirements for industrial lighting. As for safety in use, you need to know that industrial lighting fixtures on LEDs are provided with efficient heat dissipation systems, which makes them fireproof.
