Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting model for delirium after stroke.

Purpose: To explore the risk factors of delirium in patients with stroke and develop a nomogram model to predict the occurrence of delirium.

Methods: Convenience sampling was used to select 502 patients with stroke admitted to a tertiary hospital with a neurology specialty in Tianjin from December 2023 to June 2024, who were categorized into the delirium group (n=141) and the non-delirium group (n=361) using the ICU Patient Ambiguity of Consciousness Assessment Scale. We explored the independent risk factors for the occurrence of delirium through univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses, established a risk prediction model, developed a nomogram, and validated the model both internally and externally.

Residents' Spatial Preference for Urban Forest Park Route during Physical Activities.

Urban parks positively affect the life quality and health of urban residents as well as the environment where they live. When it comes to the design of a future urban forest park, it is necessary to consider the protection of ecological environment, landscape sustainability and practicability. This study explored residents' spatial preference for urban forest parks based on preference survey data.

The effectiveness of evidence-based nursing on development of nursing students' critical thinking: A meta-analysis.

Objectives: The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of evidence-based nursing (EBN) on the development of critical thinking for nursing students.

Design: A systematic literature review of original studies on randomized controlled trials was conducted.

Data Sources: The relevant randomized controlled trials were retrieved from multiple electronic databases including Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Chinese BioMed Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang Database.

Current status and influencing factors of post-traumatic growth in maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective: To study the post-traumatic growth level and influencing factors in patients with maintenance hemodialysis.

Methods: A total of 179 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis from a third-level grade A hospital in Tianjin, China were investigated using Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Perceived Social Support Scale, and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire.

Results: The total score for the PTGI was 53.

The effect of Tai Chi exercise on motor function and sleep quality in patients with stroke: A meta-analysis.

Objective: The meta-analysis is to objectively evaluate the efficacy of Tai Chi exercise for motor function and sleep quality in patients with stroke.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) about the effects of Tai Chi versus a non-exercise or conventional rehabilitation exercise control group on motor function and sleep quality in patients with stroke were searched from multiple electronic databases(PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, AMED, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP) until August 2016. Two investigators independently screened eligible studies, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality by using the quality evaluation criteria for RCTs recommended by Cochrane Handbook.
