AI Article Synopsis
- There is increasing support for using simulation testing to evaluate nursing skills and competence.
- Participants underwent three high-fidelity simulation tests, which were scored by raters using a detailed competency rating tool.
- The results showed the NPP method effectively identified skill gaps and suggested a strong reliability in ratings, indicating it can be a useful tool for assessing nursing competence and ensuring public safety.
Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: There is growing evidence that simulation testing is appropriate for assessing nursing competence. We compiled evidence on the validity and reliability of the Nursing Performance Profile (NPP) method for assessing competence.
Methods: Participants (N = 67) each completed 3 high-fidelity simulation tests; raters (N = 31) scored the videotaped tests using a 41-item competency rating instrument.
Results: The test identified areas of practice breakdown and distinguished among subgroups differing in age, education, and simulation experience. Supervisor assessments were positively correlated, r = .31. Self-assessments were uncorrelated, r = .07. Interrater agreement ranged from 93% to 100%. Test-retest reliability ranged from r = .57 to .69.
Conclusions: The NPP can be used to assess competence and make decisions supporting public safety.

AI predictive models and advancements in microdissection testicular sperm extraction for non-obstructive azoospermia: a systematic scoping review.
Hum Reprod Open
November 2024
Department of Medical Informatics, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
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.
HIV interventions across the care continuum for adolescents in high-burden countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
EClinicalMedicine

University of North Carolina Project-China, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Adolescents (10-19 years old) have poor outcomes across the prevention-to-treatment HIV care continuum, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that documented HIV outcomes among adolescents in HIV high-burden countries.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2015 and September 2024, assessing at least one HIV outcome along the prevention-to-care cascade, including PrEP uptake, HIV testing, awareness of HIV infections, ARV adherence, retention, and virological suppression.
Noncontact of the unilateral hallux with the ground reduces forward limits of stability while standing.

Graduate Course of Rehabilitation Science, Kanazawa University, Japan.
[Purpose] Although hallux function is fundamental in maintaining forward leaning standing posture, the insight into whether noncontact of the hallux with the ground alters the forward limit of stability (LoS) remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine the effects of the unilateral hallux noncontact on the forward LoS while standing. [Participants and Methods] This study included 17 healthy young and 17 community-dwelling older adults.

Introduction: Patient-centered communication is an essential skill in nursing, particularly in the care of older adult patients. However, generation Z nursing students, who primarily communicate through digital platforms, face unique challenges in adapting to traditional face-to-face communication with older adults. As a result, there is a need for teaching methods that align with this generation's learning style to enhance their communication skills.

Background: In China, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months is only 29.2%, well below the global breastfeeding collective target of at least 50% by 2025. This study explores the status quo of breastfeeding social support among and analyses its influencing factors, in order to provide a basis for improving breastfeeding rate in China.
