Methodology: Qualitative phenomenological data were collected from 20 infertile women who received IVF treatment in Taiwan.

Practicality of Wound Detection Using Smartphone Measure App.

The record of the pressure sore with photo needs to be measurable. We compare the time consumption of wound assessment ruler and measure application of smartphone and the satisfaction of the users. The time needed is 20 and 35 seconds for the ruler and the application on average.

Effects of an ethical decision-making reasoning scheme in nursing students: A randomized, open-label, controlled trial.

Background: Previous research suggests that, to design a program to help students to develop ethical decision making, competence and courage to confront ethical dilemmas should be critical components.

Purpose: This study examines the effect of an ethical decision-making reasoning scheme in ethical decision making and communication self-efficacy in nursing students.

Methods: This study was a prospective and randomized, open-label, controlled trial design.

An artificial immune system with bootstrap sampling for the diagnosis of recurrent endometrial cancers.

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies in developed countries. The prevention of the recurrence of endometrial cancer has always been a clinical challenge. Endometrial cancer is asymptomatic in the early stage, and there remains a lack of time-series correlation patterns of clinical pathway transfer, recurrence, and treatment.

Differences in the Sexual Function and Sexual Healthcare Needs of Pregnant Women Who Underwent in Vitro Fertilization and Women Who Conceived Naturally at Each Trimester: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Infertility may negatively impact sexual function. Women with fertility problems usually prioritize treatment for infertility, but their sexual function in each trimester of pregnancy is poorly researched.

Aim: To compare the sexual function and sexual healthcare needs of women who underwent successful in vitro fertilization (IVF group) and women who conceived naturally (CN group) during each trimester.

Machine Learning in Prediction of Second Primary Cancer and Recurrence in Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Recurrence of CRC (Re) and onset of a second primary malignancy (SPM) are important indicators in treating CRC, but it is often difficult to predict the onset of a SPM. Therefore, we used mechanical learning to identify risk factors that affect Re and SPM.

Association of emotional distress and quality of sleep among women receiving in-vitro fertilization treatment.

Objective: Sleep disturbance is a common issue that can arise from emotional distress. Women who received the complicated invasive in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures can be stressful. The purpose of this study is to understanding the association between emotional distress (measured as anxiety and depression) and sleep quality for women undergoing IVF treatment.

[Smart Medicine and Healthcare].

Innovation and rapid technological development in Smart Medicine or Smart Healthcare impact profoundly on many aspects of healthcare. It is believed that Health Information Technology (HIT) has the potential to improve integration between care providers, reduce administrative costs and burdens, reduce medical errors, and improve care quality and patient outcomes. However, issues such as interoperability, compatibility, and integration are critical to effectively integrating hardware and software in order to fully realize the benefits of HIT.

Understanding the Learning Needs of New Graduate Nurses at a Surgical Ward to Develop a Smartphone/Table Based Training System.

Taiwan government and health officials had made the new graduate nurses training program a mandatory requirement for all teaching hospitals in order to train new graduate nurse staffs to prepare them for the clinical practice. Mobile devices may provide a feasible and useful tool for the new graduate nurses to learn knowledge/skills, thus, the study researchers proposed to develop a smartphone/tablet based learning system to assist the new graduate nurses in the study hospital ease their transition into the RN roles. Prior to developing this electronic training system, learning needs assessment was carried out.

An Interview and an Observation Study of Nurses and Student Nurses' Electronic Clinical Documentation Behaviors in a OB/GYN Nursing Ward.

This research was conducted to understand clinical nurses' and nursing students' current use of a clinical nursing information system to document their patient care activities in an OB/GYN nursing ward at a medical center in central Taiwan. A semi-structure interview and participant observation methods were used to gather the data. The results showed that the majority of participants regarded the clinical nursing information system as a useful system in terms of saving documentation time and improving communication among healthcare providers.

Development of a Chinese childbearing attitude questionnaire for infertile women receiving in vitro fertilization treatment.

The purpose of this study was to report the second phase of instrument development, a culturally sensitive questionnaire of childbearing attitudes to assess the psychosocial responses of infertile women. Using a nonexperimental quantitative design, we investigated 238 women who are undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment. Data collection and relevant planning occurred in two phases: in-depth interviews of women to generate items for the questionnaire and establishing the questionnaire's content and construct validity.

A Newborn Baby Care Support App and System for mHealth.

This study was to develop a usability-engineered mhealth application for a mother with new-born baby and to evaluate its acceptance. Baby's Health Handbook and hospital consultation service records were analyzed to design the contents of app. Special interface design principles were used for enhancing usability.

Top barriers and facilitators to nurses' PDA adoption.

A web-based survey was employed to identify barriers and facilitators to nurses' PDA adoption. Based on the top barriers and facilitators identified, implications for PDA manufacturers and hospitals are discussed.

A review and a framework of handheld computer adoption in healthcare.

Wide adoption of mobile computing technology can potentially improve information access, enhance workflow, and promote evidence-based practice to make informed and effective decisions at the point of care. Handheld computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) offer portable and unobtrusive access to clinical data and relevant information at the point of care. This article reviews the literature on issues related to adoption of PDAs in health care and barriers to PDA adoption.
