Perspectives and experiences of community-dwelling older adults who experience falling: A qualitative meta-synthesis.

Objectives: This study aimed to systematically review and synthesize the perspectives and experiences of community-dwelling older adults who experience falling, to inform the subsequent development of fall prevention and management interventions, and to provide recommendations for healthcare policy and practice.

Methods: The review was a qualitative meta-aggregation study following the JBI qualitative systematic review methodology. Databases searched included Medline (through PubMed), CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, and the Web of Science.

Nursing undergraduates' experiences of a simulation-centred educational program in hospice care in Macao: A qualitative research.

Objectives: The study aimed to explore the experiences of nursing undergraduates participating in a simulation-centred educational program in hospice care in Macao, China.

Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was based on the data collected through semi-structured individual interviews. Seventeen nursing undergraduates in Macao, China who attended the simulation-centred program in hospice care participated in this qualitative from November to December 2020.

Defining subpopulations of differential drug response to reveal novel target populations.

Personalised medicine has predominantly focused on genetically altered cancer genes that stratify drug responses, but there is a need to objectively evaluate differential pharmacology patterns at a subpopulation level. Here, we introduce an approach based on unsupervised machine learning to compare the pharmacological response relationships between 327 pairs of cancer therapies. This approach integrated multiple measures of response to identify subpopulations that react differently to inhibitors of the same or different targets to understand mechanisms of resistance and pathway cross-talk.

[Posterolateral minimal incision, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation in treatment of collapsed fractures of posterolateral tibial plateau].

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of limited incision, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation in the treatment of collapsed fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau.

Methods: Between October 2010 and January 2016, 16 patients with collapsed fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau underwent posterolateral incision, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation. There were 10 males and 6 females with the age of 22-63 years (mean, 43.

Lived experiences of clinical preceptors: a phenomenological study.

The aim of this study is to explore the clinical preceptors' experiences and the meanings of their lives in clinical teaching. A phenomenological approach was adopted, and a 'snowballing' sampling method was used to recruit 20 clinical preceptors. Data were collected using audio-taped individual interviews.

Knowledge of urinary incontinence among Chinese community nurses and community-dwelling older people.

The purpose of this study was to describe knowledge of urinary incontinence among community nurses and community-dwelling older people in China. The descriptive study was undertaken in 2007 using a cross-sectional research design. A random sampling method was used to recruit 100 Chinese older people and 100 Chinese nurses in JinShan and NanHui communities, Shanghai, China.

A systematic review of selected evidence on developing nursing students' critical thinking through problem-based learning.

Rapidly changing developments and expanding roles in healthcare environment requires professional nurses to develop critical thinking. Nursing education strives to facilitate students' critical thinking through the appropriate instructional approaches. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach to learning which enables the students to work cooperatively in small groups for seeking solutions to situations/problems.

Improvement of nursing students' critical thinking skills through problem-based learning in the People's Republic of China: a quasi-experimental study.

A quasi-experimental, two-group pretest-post-test design was conducted to examine the effect of problem-based learning on the critical thinking skills of 46 Year 2 undergraduate nursing students in the People's Republic of China. The California Critical Thinking Skills Test Form A, Chinese-Taiwanese version was used as both a pretest and as a post-test for a semester-long nursing course. There was no significant difference in critical thinking skills at pretest, whereas, significant differences in critical thinking skills existed between the problem-based learning and lecture groups at post-test.
