AI Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of a person-centered care program for nurses in acute-care hospitals, comparing it to a dementia-type-specific program over a period from July 2021 to January 2022 across seven hospitals.
- - Out of 158 participants, those in the intervention group showed significant gains in dementia nursing expertise, medical knowledge, and confidence, along with improvements in ethical sensitivity regarding patient dignity.
- - The control group also had positive outcomes, particularly in providing care tailored to cognitive function, indicating that both programs have valuable impacts on nursing care in dementia patients.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The present multicenter randomized controlled trial explored the effectiveness of a person-centered care program (intervention group) and a dementia-type-specific program (control group) for nurses in acute-care hospitals.
Methods: Seven hospitals in Prefecture A were randomly allocated to two groups (an intervention group and a control group), and a study of these groups was conducted from July 2021 to January 2022.
Results: A total of 158 participants were included in the study: 58 in the control group and 100 in the intervention group. In a comparison of assessment values immediately after the course, three months later, and six months later for both the intervention and control groups, "expertise in dementia nursing," "medical expertise in dementia, " and "confidence in nursing older people with dementia" were all significantly higher than before the course. Significant improvements in the intervention group's "knowledge of dementia" and "sense of dignity" on the ethical sensitivity scale were found immediately after the course compared to baseline, three months later, and six months later and were also significantly greater than the control group in terms of the amount of change. In the control group's "unique care tailored to cognitive function and the person," there were significant improvements in the ratings immediately after the course and three and six months after the course compared to baseline, with significantly greater amounts of change than in the intervention group.
Conclusion: The person-centered care program for nurses led to improvements in the knowledge about dementia and awareness of the dignity of ethical sensitivity. In addition, the type of dementia program had a significant influence on medical knowledge and unique care tailored to the cognitive function and the individual patient. Further outcome evaluations of physical restraint rates as a quality of care in nursing practice are needed.

In Internet of Things (IoT) networks, identifying the primary Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocol which is suited for a service characteristic is necessary based on the requirements of the application. In this paper, we propose Energy Efficient and Group Priority MAC (EEGP-MAC) protocol using Hybrid Q-Learning Honey Badger Algorithm (QL-HBA) for IoT Networks. This algorithm employs reinforcement agents to select an environment based on predefined actions and tasks.

Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder that often persists into adulthood. Moreover, it is frequently accompanied by bipolar disorder (BD) as well as borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is unclear whether these disorders share underlying pathomechanisms, given that all three are characterized by alterations in affective states, either long or short-term.
