BackgroundNurses working in a clinic must be morally sensitive to identify unethical circumstances and act morally. Educational strategies that can effectively gain this sensitivity are a matter of curiosity.ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine if an interactive ethics training program would benefit (a) moral sensitivity and (b) knowledge.Research DesignThe present study was quasi-experimental based on a control group pretest/posttest.Participants and Research ContextThe study involved 53 nurses from 10 hospitals in Istanbul, Türkiye. The intervention group received the 5-week Interactive Ethics Training Program. Data were collected through the Personal Characteristics Form, Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, and Nursing Ethics Knowledge Test.Ethical ConsiderationsThe study was conducted according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Non-Invasive Research Ethics Committee (No. 78/2022) from Istanbul Medipol University.ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the posttest for moral sensitivity (MD: -10.247; = .010) and knowledge level (MD: 4178; = .009).ConclusionAn interactive ethics training program in nursing ethics education positively impacts nurses' moral sense and knowledge. Improving nurses' moral awareness can facilitate ethical decision-making. Therefore, it is advised that nurse educators design their curricula based on these results.

Purpose: This study analyzed the long-term effects of cancer on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of older breast cancer survivors for 10 years, including a control group to distinguish between the impacts of cancer treatment and aging.

Methods: The SEER-MHOS data resource was used in the analysis. Cases were 674 older women diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998-2015 at age 65 and older and participated in Medicare Health Outcomes Survey within 24 months before their cancer diagnosis and at least once within 10 years of post-diagnosis.

The adsorption technique has opened a new frontier in the field of purification through hemodialysis. This technique has proved to be effective in removing uremic toxins previously deemed inaccessible due to their size or charge, as well as to their molecular interactions with blood proteins. In this context, this review provides a detailed explanation of the role of Polyester-polymer alloy (PEPA®) membranes and hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion.

Aim: Despite the widespread use of immunotherapy (IO) and targeted therapy (TT) in clinical practice, data on toxicity in combination with SBRT are lacking, largely based on retrospective studies and case reports. The present survey, conducted within the AIRO Oligometastatic Study Group, was developed for radiation oncologists to investigate the current clinical practice in Italy regarding hypofractionated SBRT (defined as a dose/fraction ≥ 5 Gy) in cancer patients using IO and TT.

Methods: The online survey, composed of 19 questions, was developed using the cloud-based platform SurveyMonkey® and was sent to all registered AIRO members using the association's mailing list and was administered online and in anonymous form.
