Aim: To examine the relationship of inpatients' perceptions and satisfaction statements with nurses and the nursing activities presented and to determine nursing activities that were implemented mostly from the view of inpatients.
Background: Nursing care is one of the fundamental components of health care, and studies have shown that it has a considerable influence on how patients experience hospitalization. However, nursing care is usually listed as one category in surveys. In fact, nursing care is an integrated combination of specific nursing activities, and to improve nursing practice we need to clarify how each nursing activity affects the perceptions of patients.
Methods: This descriptive study uses cross-sectional survey design. The sample consists of 454 inpatients from a large-scale teaching hospital in Ankara, Turkey. A questionnaire survey including demographics and perceptions of the patients, along with a list of the activities that nurses were required to carry out, were administered to the patients.
Findings: Age, gender and marital status were the variables influencing patients' perceptions. Technical nursing activities were recognized more by patients than activities related to care. All nursing activities were relevant to patient satisfaction statements. Most of the patients were satisfied with the nursing care despite the task-oriented environment.
Conclusions: The results of this study show that nurses tend to do technical activities. All nursing activities were related to patient satisfaction statements. Nurses should be aware of the effect of each activity they are required to carry out on patients and the importance of good communication with patients.

Multicomponent interventions designed to support adherence to guideline-recommended therapy in patients with peripheral artery disease: A scoping review.

Adherence to guideline-recommended therapies for peripheral artery disease (PAD), including pharmacotherapy (antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and antihypertensive agents) and lifestyle modifications (smoking cessation, diet, weight management, and physical activity) remains low. Though single-component interventions targeting smoking cessation, exercise, or medication adherence show some efficacy, comprehensive multicomponent interventions are vital for addressing the complexity of PAD management. This review systematically synthesized multicomponent interventions for patients with PAD.

Background: Surgical resection is the primary treatment modality for colorectal cancer. Prehabilitation is about enhancing the patient's physiological capacity preoperatively to reduce the risk of treatment-related complications. Clear definitions of the modality, content, and duration of prehabilitation, including its components such as nutrition, exercise, and psychological support, are lacking.

Alterations in Adiponectin Expression in Models of Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Mouse Pulmonary Emphysema and Alveolar Epithelial Cell Injury.
COPD
March 2025
Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Purpose: Cigarette smoke activates lung inflammation and destruction and the development of COPD. Among various factors influenced by lung inflammation, adiponectin produced by lung epithelial cells is thought to play a significant role in regulating inflammation and maintaining tissue integrity. This study aims to examine adiponectin expression in a mouse model of cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced emphysema and explore the effects of adiponectin on cell survival and cytokine gene expression in CSE-induced lung epithelial cell damage.
