Ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous canulation by emergency nurses: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Peripheral intravenous cannulation is a common procedure in the emergency department. Nevertheless, failure rates during the first attempt are as high as 40% in adults and 65% in children. Evidence suggests that physician performed ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous cannulation (USG-PIVC) is an effective alternative to the traditional method; however, there is insufficient data on the efficacy of the technique performed by nurses.

Job satisfaction and burnout syndrome among intensive-care unit nurses: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The severe conditions often experienced in an intensive care unit, combined with poor working conditions, increase stress and therefore decrease job satisfaction. Sustained stress in the workplace leads to the development of burnout, a syndrome characterised by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and perceived lack of personal fulfilment.

Objective: To analyse the relationship between burnout syndrome and job satisfaction among ICU personnel.

Analyzing Latent Burnout Profiles in a Sample of Spanish Nursing and Psychology Undergraduates.

There is abundant literature suggesting that university students in helping professions experience high levels of stress, leading to an increased risk of developing burnout. The objective of this study was to identify burnout profiles in a sample of 1162 Spanish nursing and psychology undergraduates using latent profile analysis, a person-oriented statistical method that can identify hidden homogenous subgroups within a heterogeneous population. We expected to replicate in university students the five-profile structure (burnout, overextended, disengaged, ineffective, and engagement) proposed by Leiter and Maslach using the burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy) as indicators.

Effectiveness of real-time classroom interactive competition on academic performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

In recent years, different tools have been introduced into the educational landscape to promote active participation and interaction between students and teachers through personal response systems. The evolution of this methodology has allowed students to participate in real-time by answering questions posed. Previous reviews on the effectiveness of real-time classroom interactive competition (RCIC) on academic performance have been performed; however, this research was based only on Kahoot, without considering other RCIC tools or programs.

Factors related to the appearance and development of burnout in nursing students: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The aim of this study is to identify and analyse the main risk factors for burnout among nursing students.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses of Aminopeptidases as Prognostic Biomarkers in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem, and cerebral cortex. Biomarkers for ALS are essential for disease detection and to provide information on potential therapeutic targets. Aminopeptidases catalyze the cleavage of amino acids from the amino terminus of protein or substrates such as neuropeptides.

Correlation between anthropometric measurements and blood pressure in a population of Palestinian adults.

Obesity can be a major problem due to its potential to cause a number of health issues, including high blood pressure and diabetes. Many reports have come out of Palestine on overweight and obesity and their direct link to non-communicable diseases, although there is only limited evidence available on the connection between obesity and hypertension in Palestinian adults. We aimed to look at the associations between anthropometric and body composition variables and blood pressure in a large population of Palestinian adults (1337 subjects) and determine which anthropometric indices most strongly correlate with high blood pressure.
