Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy of Nursing Delirium Screening Scale Versus Confusion Assessment Method for Postoperative Delirium: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Aims: To synthesise the evidence on and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the Nu-DESC and CAM in detecting postoperative delirium among hospitalised patients.

Design: Systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis.

Data Sources: The PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I, and PsycINFO databases were systematically searched from their inception to February 10, 2023.

Effects of nurse-led brief behavioral treatment for insomnia in adults: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Objectives: We examined the effects of nurse-led brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) on insomnia severity, sleep status, daytime function, quality of life, psychological distress levels, treatment response, and insomnia remission in young and middle-aged Asian adults with insomnia symptoms.

Methods: This 2-parallel, randomized controlled trial recruited 42 participants with insomnia symptoms randomly allocated to the nurse-led BBTI group or sleep hygiene group. The outcome measurements included the Insomnia Severity Index, sleep diary, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Brief Fatigue Inventory, RAND-36 Health Status Inventory, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21.

Unraveling the Heat- and UV-Induced Degradation of Mixed Halide Perovskite Thin Films via Surface Analysis Techniques.

In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have become one of the most promising materials in the new generation of solar cells. These perovskites can provide excellent photoelectric properties after a simple fabrication process. Although perovskite solar cells have achieved high power conversion efficiency, instability concerns regarding material exposure to heat, moisture, air, and UV light present hindrances to commercialization.

Diagnostic accuracy of the pediatric CAM-ICU, pre-school CAM-ICU, Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium and Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium for detecting delirium in the pediatric intensive care unit: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Delirium is a frequent complication of critical illness, affecting 34% of children admitted to pediatric intensive care units. The commonly used tools for detecting delirium in the pediatric intensive care unit include the Pediatric Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit (ICU, pCAM-ICU), Preschool Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (psCAM-ICU), Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium and the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium.

Data Sources: We searched four electronic databases for relevant articles from inception to March 1, 2023.

Dynamic Prevalence of and Factors Associated With Fatigue Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.

Objective: To implement a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively synthesize the prevalence of and factors associated with fatigue following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I databases in all fields from their inception to March 31, 2021. We included observational studies investigating fatigue at specific time points following TBI or factors associated with post-TBI fatigue.

Comparative efficacy of prophylactic anticonvulsant drugs following traumatic brain injury: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

We systematically compared the effects of prophylactic anticonvulsant drug use in patients with traumatic brain injury. We searched four electronic databases from their inception until July 13, 2021. Two researchers independently screened, appraised, and extracted the included studies.

Immediate and lasting effects of aerobic exercise on the actigraphic sleep parameters of female nurses: A randomized controlled trial.

Sleep disturbance is highly prevalent among shift-working nurses. We aimed to evaluate whether aerobic exercise (i.e.
