Aims And Objectives: To establish a set of scientific and practical nursing care quality evaluation indicators for PACU in China.
Background: No unified nursing care quality evaluation indicators for post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) were found in China.
Design: An international literature review, domestic cross-sectional survey and two-round e-Delphi study.
Methods: The international literature review and domestic cross-sectional survey were conducted to identify the potential nursing care quality evaluation indicators for PACU. A total of 38 and 32 indicators were extracted from 24 articles and the cross-sectional survey respectively. Two rounds of e-Delphi study were conducted to collect opinions from a panel of 20 independent experts and establish the final version of the nursing care quality evaluation indicators for PACU. A GRRAS checklist was used to guide the reporting of this study.
Results: Of 20 experts, 19 completed the first round of e-Delphi study and 18 completed the second round, with a response rate of 95% and 90% respectively. The experts' authority coefficient in the two rounds of e-Delphi study was 0.91 and 0.90 respectively. The Kendall W value of the two rounds ranged between 0.108 and 0.385 (p < .01). Four structure indicators, 12 process indicators and seven outcome indicators were included in the nursing care quality evaluation indicators for PACU.
Conclusions: With the methods of literature review, cross-sectional survey and e-Delphi study, we established a set of scientific and practical nursing care quality evaluation indicators for PACU, to improve the nursing care quality, reduce incidence of complications and ensure patient safety.
Relevant To Clinical Practice: The findings from this study enable nurses and managers in PACU settings to evaluate clinical nursing care quality using a robust framework.

Some technical limitations to using the eccentric mode to measure peak eccentric strength of the hamstrings (PTH) were raised. PTH also has limited validity to predict performance or injury risk factor. Therefore, our aim was to compare PTH and other isokinetic variables tested in the eccentric and passive modes.

Background: This project aimed to develop an evidence-based nursing care bundle after gastrostomy feeding tube insertion and implement it into clinical practice using the Knowledge to Action (KTA) framework.
Methods: This mixed-method design project was conducted in a university hospital between December 2021 and June 2022. The project was carried out in four phases: (1) development of an evidence-based care bundle, (2) education for care bundle training, (3) implementation of the care bundle, (4) evaluation of the care bundle.
Investigation of the Relationship Between Perceived Leadership Behaviours of Nurses and Hospital Safety Culture: A Study With the Structural Equation Model.

Public Health Nursing Department, Nursing Faculty, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.
Background: Work environments that support patient safety initiatives are important for quality service and patient outcomes. The relationship between the leadership behaviours of nurse managers and safety culture, which has the potential to support these initiatives, constitutes one of the most important knowledge gaps.
Objectives: The study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses' perceived leadership behaviours and hospital safety culture and the factors affecting them.
A preliminary ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging study of distinct aortic morphologies.
J Anat
January 2025
Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
Changes in the microstructure of the aortic wall precede the progression of various aortic pathologies, including aneurysms and dissection. Current clinical decisions with regards to surgical planning and/or radiological intervention are guided by geometric features, such as aortic diameter, since clinical imaging lacks tissue microstructural information. The aim of this proof-of-concept work is to investigate a non-invasive imaging method, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in ex vivo aortic tissue to gain insights into the microstructure.

Aim: To implement and evaluate an Advanced Practice Nurse-led transitional care model (AdvantAGE) to reduce rehospitalisation rates in frail older adults discharged from a Swiss geriatric hospital.
Design: The study adopts an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design (Type 1) to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the care model and explore the implementation process.
Methods: The primary outcome, the 90-day rehospitalisation rate, will be evaluated using a matched-cohort design with a prospective intervention group and a retrospective control group.
