Background: The process of assessing and allocating nursing staff, as well as evaluating performance, relies heavily on nursing workload, which is strongly associated with patient safety outcomes. Nevertheless, most previous studies have utilized cross-sectional data collection methods, which limit the precision of workload prediction. Static workload models do not incorporate longitudinal changes in influential factors, potentially resulting in delayed or erroneous nursing management decisions and ultimately causing imbalances in nurses' workload.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the feasibility and effects of transcutaneous electrical acupuncture stimulation (TEAS) on elderly patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) compared to a control group receiving health education.
  • Out of 61 participants, the TEAS group showed significant improvements in cognitive function and mental quality of life, as measured by various assessment scales, while sleep quality and physical health showed no significant change.
  • The study results indicate that TEAS is an acceptable and feasible intervention that can lead to enhancements in cognitive functions and mental well-being for individuals with aMCI.

Background: As health education robots may potentially become a significant support force in nursing practice in the future, it is imperative to adhere to the European Union's concept of "Responsible Research and Innovation" (RRI) and deeply reflect on the ethical risks hidden in the process of intelligent robotic health education.

Aim: This study explores the perceptions of professional nursing professionals regarding the potential ethical risks associated with the clinical practice of intelligent robotic health education.

Research Design: This study adopts a descriptive phenomenological approach, employing Colaizzi's seven-step method for data analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses the growing issue of social isolation among older adults in China, linking it to reduced community participation and a negative impact on quality of life.
  • A large-scale cross-sectional study was conducted with over 2,200 participants aged 60 and older, utilizing various scales to assess factors contributing to social isolation, including perceived social support and mental health indicators.
  • Results indicated that social, economic, and cultural risks directly and indirectly affect social isolation, with depression playing a mediating role, confirming the study's hypothesized model was valid.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to explore how work-family conflict acts as a mediator between COVID-19 risk perception and job withdrawal among Chinese nurses, with job autonomy playing a moderating role during the pandemic's initial outbreak.
  • - Conducted with 287 nurses from 11 hospitals, the research showed that work-family conflict significantly mediates the relationship, accounting for over 60% of the influence, while job autonomy increases the impact of work-family conflict on job withdrawal.
  • - The findings suggest that nursing management should enhance support systems to help nurses manage stress related to COVID-19, aiming to reduce work-family conflict and prevent job withdrawal.

The risk of potential vertical transmission in SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnant women is currently a topic of debate. To explore the correlation between the two, we searched PubMed, Embase®, and Web of Science for studies on vertical transmission of COVID-19. The quality of the studies was evaluated by the Cochrane risk of bias tool.

Traffic assignment and management objectives are considered as two significant parts in developing the emergency evacuation plan, which can directly influence the evacuation performance and efficiency. From the perspective of disaster response operators, the evacuation objective frequently is to minimize the total evacuation time to reduce losses, which may lead to an unreasonable and unfair phenomenon where people in highest risk areas may be forced to sacrifice their priorities of evacuation to improve the system evacuation efficiency. In this paper, considering both efficiency and social fairness in emergency evacuation, a weight function consisting of risk evaluation index as variable and the emphasis degree of managers on social fairness principle as coefficient was initially proposed and embedded in system optimal (SO) objective function.

The current prototype patient classification system in China has not been updated for over six decades. In the present study, we adopted a hybrid patient classification method using both disease severity and activities of daily living scores to classify patients. The time motion approach was used to measure the direct nursing time of 551 general acute care patients.

The prediction of evacuation demand curves is a crucial step in the disaster evacuation plan making, which directly affects the performance of the disaster evacuation. In this paper, we discuss the factors influencing individual evacuation decision making (whether and when to leave) and summarize them into four kinds: individual characteristics, social influence, geographic location, and warning degree. In the view of social contagion of decision making, a method based on Susceptible-Infective (SI) model is proposed to formulize the disaster evacuation demand curves to address both social influence and other factors' effects.
