AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying the challenges faced by nurses in Japan when caring for pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
- It involved 89 certified nurses who reported various issues, resulting in five main challenge categories: communication, understanding, expertise, system, and collaboration, with differences noted between JIA patients and adults with rheumatoid arthritis.
- The findings emphasize the need for multidisciplinary care and a better understanding of the complexities involved in patient and guardian dynamics to enhance treatment outcomes and overall quality of life.
Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed at identifying challenges nurses face in caring for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in Japan.
Methods: Nurses certified by the Japan Rheumatism Foundation were asked to describe their challenges in caring for JIA patients. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
Results: Responses were collected from 89 participants. Fifty-eight issues were identified from 40 participants with experience in caring for JIA patients. Sixteen categories emerged, which were grouped into five challenges: communication, understanding, expertise, system, and collaboration. Care for JIA patients included different challenges from adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis, such as complicated patient-parent relationships, inadequate patient independence, and insufficient patient information. Moreover, 76 issues from 49 participants with no experience were identified. Seven categories emerged, which were grouped into two challenges: expertise and opportunity. Issues included in expertise between both groups were similar. Even with no experience in caring for JIA patients, nurses recognized the importance of acquiring knowledge.
Conclusions: This is the first study in Japan regarding the difficulties nurses face in caring for JIA patients. Multidisciplinary team care and a comprehensive understanding of the patient journey, including relationships with guardians, acquaintances, and healthcare providers, are crucial to improve treatment outcome and overall patient quality of life.

Background: To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of third-generation dual-source CT for pulmonary embolism, focusing on the optimization of dual-source CT scanning with dynamic reconstruction in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and various imaging manifestations.
Methods: Eighty-two patients with pulmonary embolism were enrolled and randomly divided into standard CT angiography (SCTA) and dynamic CT angiography (DCTA). DCTA patients were divided into dynamic CT angiography arterial phase (DCTAa), time phase Angiography reconstruction (TMIP-CTA), and 4D noise reduction TMIP-CTA according to the image reconstruction.
