The Turkish version of the Omaha System: its use in practice-based family nursing education.

The aims of this manuscript are to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Omaha System, and to demonstrate its effectiveness as a tool for nursing education. In this methodological and descriptive study, seventy students attending a training program used the Omaha System in clinical practice settings for assessing health problems of 157 clients and for nursing interventions during 378 home visits. After the system's adaptation to the Turkish language, its content validity was reconfirmed through feedback from the students and interrater reliability was tested on six independent students with kappa statistics.

[Elevation of the ST segment during physical exertion: computer analysis, comparison with angiographic data; clinical significance].

A total of 41 male patients responding with ST elevation to treadmill exercise were investigated using coronaro- and ventriculography, and sector-scanning echocardiography. All the patients had a history of anterior myocardial infarction. Computer analysis of changes in ST interval showed ST incline and integral to be the most informative parameters.
