Post-test Knowledge Research Articles

The evaluation of the training, "the approach to epilepsy and epileptic seizure," which was given to teachers in Türkiye.

Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder among humans after headaches. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 50-65 million individuals were diagnosed with epilepsy throughout the world, and around two million new cases of epilepsy are added to this figure every year. Designed as descriptive and cross-sectional research, this study was performed on 132 elementary school teachers. Training on epilepsy and epileptic seizure was given to teachers. The pretest and posttest research data were collected with the face-to-face interview method. In this process, the epilepsy knowledge scale was used as well as a survey form that had questions designed to find out about teachers' personal characteristics. The Statistical Package for Social Science 25.0 was utilized in the statistical analysis of research data. In the research, the statistical significance was identified if the p-value was below.05 (p<.05). Of all teachers participating in the study, 59.1% were female, 90.2% were married, and 47.7% witnessed an epilepsy seizure before. The mean of teachers' pretest epilepsy knowledge scores was 8.43±4.31 points before the training while the mean of their posttest epilepsy knowledge scores was 12.65±2.48 points after the training. The difference between the means of pretest and posttest scores was statistically significant (p=.000). After the training, there was a statistically significant increase in means of scores obtained by teachers from each item of the epilepsy knowledge scale (p<.05). As there was a statistically significant improvement in levels of teachers' knowledge about both epilepsy and epileptic seizure after the training, it is recommended that the training about the approach to epilepsy and epileptic seizure be given to all teachers, and additionally, including these topics in the course curricula of universities is recommended.

Healthy Sleep Practices for Consumers of Home Total Parenteral Nutrition: A Mixed-Methods Community-Based Participatory Study

BackgroundConsumers of overnight home parenteral nutrition (HPN) often experience sleep disruption; however, existing healthy sleep recommendations are widely inapplicable to consumers. ObjectivesThe aim of this mixed-methods, community-based participatory research study was to develop tailored recommendations on healthy sleep practices for HPN consumers. MethodsThe multipart study involved the following: 1) an initial draft of sleep recommendations based on the evaluation of existing general sleep hygiene guidelines by an expert panel of clinicians and consumers with lived experience; 2) semi-structured focus groups with consumers and clinicians; 3) pre- and post-knowledge tests completed by consumers, and 4) final approval of the recommendations by the expert panel. ResultsThe literature synthesis resulted in 51 recommendations evaluated for relevance for HPN consumers. Focus groups with 20 HPN consumers and clinicians contributed additional recommendations based on lived experience. Ultimately, the final resource included recommendations spanning 4 sections: getting ready for bed, preparing the bedroom for sleep, daytime behaviors, and overall strategies for better sleep. Of the 36 recommendations, 58% were derived from existing general sleep hygiene guidelines, and the remaining 42% addressed sleep challenges experienced uniquely by consumers, including nocturnal polyuria, noise/light from medical equipment, and infusion schedules. Knowledge tests completed by 10 additional consumers indicated a modest increase in sleep health knowledge. ConclusionsThe curated healthy sleep resource tailored for HPN consumers was facilitated by a multidisciplinary expert panel, a strategic collaboration with members of the HPN community and their clinicians, and in partnership with patient advocacy and support organizations. The wide distribution of these resources may improve the overall well-being of HPN consumers.

Impact of a nurse-led intervention in understanding menstrual health management among adolescent girls attending specific schools in Navi Mumbai, India

Abstract Background: Premenstrual symptoms are prevalent among menstruating individuals, affecting around 75% of those who report some level of discomfort during their cycles. However, approximately 10% of women endure premenstrual syndrome (PMS), marked by symptoms that significantly disrupt daily functioning. PMS remains poorly comprehended and difficult to diagnose. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of an intervention and analyze the disparity in knowledge levels between the two groups. Materials and Methods: A genuine experimental design was employed using a pretest and post-test control group approach. A simple random sampling lottery method was used to select 40 adolescent girls for the study and control groups. These girls, aged 12–15 years, were chosen from specific schools in Navi Mumbai, adhering to predetermined inclusion criteria. A structured knowledge questionnaire was administered to both groups. At 1 week post-test, the study group received a nurse-led intervention through a planned teaching program. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: In the control group, pretest knowledge scores averaged around 57.5%, suggesting a moderate level of knowledge. Conversely, the study group exhibited an average pretest knowledge score of 60%. Examining post-test knowledge scores, it is evident that in the control group, the majority (42.5%) demonstrated average knowledge, while in the study group, 67.5% exhibited excellent knowledge. Paired t test findings indicated a significant influence of the planned teaching program in the study group compared with the control group, with a P value of 0.001 at a significance level. Conclusion: Adolescent girls in the selected schools lacked knowledge about menstrual health management. Consequently, the nurse-led intervention on menstrual health management significantly improved knowledge among the control group of adolescent girls.
