Effectiveness of a Simulation-Based Education Program to Improve Novice Nurses' Clinical Judgment Skills.

Introduction: We assessed the effectiveness of a simulation-based education program to improve novice nurses' clinical judgment skills.

Methods: A simulation education program was implemented for 21 novice nurses. Surveys were conducted on program satisfaction, learning, and clinical judgment skills before, immediately after, and two months after the program.

Heart rate recovery after exercise and neural regulation of heart rate variability in 30-40 year old female marathon runners.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of endurance training on heart rate (HR) recovery after exercise and cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation in female marathon runners by comparing with untrained controls. Six female marathon runners (M group) aged 32-40 years and eight age-matched untrained females (C group) performed a maximum-effort treadmill running exercise. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measured during the exercise with a gas analyzer connected to subjects through a face mask.
