AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to evaluate how effective systematic nursing care (NCS) is for outpatient mental health nursing by using recognized taxonomies (NANDA-I and NIC) to categorize patient diagnoses and interventions.
  • Researchers collected data from 40 mental health patients, identifying 14 different nursing diagnoses, with the most common being impaired social interaction, anxiety, and ineffective self-health management, and prescribed 23 various interventions per appointment.
  • The findings suggest that using NCS helps mental health nurses effectively identify patient needs and tailor interventions, ultimately enhancing the quality of nursing care provided to patients.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To assess the applicability of the systematization of nursing care (NCS) to outpatient nursing appointments using the NANDA-I and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomies.

Methods: Data were collected from 40 patients who had appointments with a nurse who specialized in mental health. Nursing diagnoses (NDs) and interventions were classified using the NANDA-I and NIC taxonomies, respectively.

Findings: A total of 14 different NDs were detected (minimum of one and maximum of three per appointment). The most frequently made diagnoses were impaired social interaction (00052), anxiety (00146), and ineffective self-health management (00078). A total of 23 nursing interventions were prescribed (approximately two per appointment), of which the most frequent were socialization enhancement (5100), self-care assistance (1800), and exercise promotion (0200). Significant associations were found between the most frequently detected NDs and the most commonly prescribed interventions (p > .05).

Conclusions: The NCS through the use of classification systems allows mental health nurses to better identify and assist poorly adjusted patients.

Implications For Nursing Practice: The assessment of the applicability of the NCS to different areas of health care and types of medical assistance contributes significantly to the quality of nursing care.

Study Question: How accurately can artificial intelligence (AI) models predict sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients undergoing micro-testicular sperm extraction (m-TESE) surgery?

Summary Answer: AI predictive models hold significant promise in predicting successful sperm retrieval in NOA patients undergoing m-TESE, although limitations regarding variability of study designs, small sample sizes, and a lack of validation studies restrict the overall generalizability of studies in this area.

What Is Known Already: Previous studies have explored various predictors of successful sperm retrieval in m-TESE, including clinical and hormonal factors. However, no consistent predictive model has yet been established.
