Background: This study aimed to develop and validate an assessment instrument for students engaging with an algorithm-based simulation scenario addressing emergency measures for high-risk newborns with apnea in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Method: The study was conducted in two phases of development and evaluation of the algorithm-corresponding instrument. One hundred sixty-nine senior nursing students from two universities in South Korea were evaluated using the developed instrument.
Aim: To develop a comprehensive, hands-on assessment tool for assessing health in children under five in underserved regions.
Design: Methodological study design and usability testing were used.
Sample: Eight nurses working at two health posts and 261 children under five living in the migrant villages participated in the study.
Purpose: Children in migrant villages in Kyrgyzstan have a high incidence of anemia and need effective health promotion programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a pilot study of a health promotion project for infants and toddlers based on community participation.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the project.
Despite over 10 years of support from government health programs and health organizations, children in migrant villages in Kyrgyzstan remain a public concern owing to high incidence rates of preventable diseases such as anemia. An effective community health promotion program is needed but there is a lack of knowledge of community barriers and health factors affecting children's health in these migrant villages. The purpose of this study was to conduct a community health needs assessment to develop strategies for a child health promotion program in these migrant villages.
