Elderly patients hospitalized with dysphagia have an increased risk of respiratory complications, including aspiration pneumonia. Evidence suggests that oral hygiene regimens may reduce this risk. Despite this, the provision of oral care in acute care hospitals is variable and particularly limited in care settings for the elderly. This literature review explores barriers to the implementation of oral care, including lack of evidence-based protocols and inadequate accountability structures within organizations, low staff knowledge, staff attitudes and beliefs, and patient-related factors such as non-compliance. . Organizational factors appear to be an important issue and require further research to improve the outcomes of this vulnerable population.

The fear of breast loss (due to cancer or other diseases) in women can be also the fear of losing social roles such as motherhood, femininity and sexuality.The fact that most of the participants explained body, aesthetics, breast, loss of breast from a socio-cultural perspective was remarkable. When women lose their breast, they can be think that will not be able to fulfill the roles motherhood, femininity, sexuality that the society expects.Therefore, social care should be integral to reproductive nursing care programs of women.

background Evidence suggests that behavioral, social, and environmental factors may alter the effects of life stress on the health and performance of new nurses as they move to hospitals. objectives The aim of this study was to describe the methods of a project designed to investigate the role of social, behavioral and environmental factors in changing the adverse effects of stress on new nurses and to discuss the demographic, health and stress characteristics of cohort life at the time. initial. Methods A prospective cohort project was used to conduct a comprehensive assessment of health objectives, life stress, behaviors, personal traits, social factors, indicators of involvement and performance, and environmental exposures to nursing students. Adjusted probability ratios and covariance analyzes were used to examine the associations between these factors at baseline. Results The health indicators in the cohort were comparable or better than in the larger population of the United States, and lifetime stress exposure was lower than among students in other major classes. Exposure to several stressors has been associated with an increased risk for various health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes and depression. Instead, better social, environmental, behavioral and personal profiles were associated with protective effects for the same health conditions. Discussion These data comprehensively summarize the lives of students attending predominantly Hispanic health care and highlight the risk and resistance factors associated with their health and well-being. The findings are timely, as the field of healthcare is diversifying in preparation for caring for a diverse and aging population. A comprehensive assessment of stress-health relationships among nursing students should inform nursing school policies, practices and programs to better prepare nurses to thrive in the often tiring healthcare environment.

Background Nurses play a vital role in diabetic foot ulcers care and prevention. Patient education, prevention of ulcers and rehabilitation are some of the vital aspects that nurses provide daily. Good knowledge and attitude of nurses towards diabetic foot ulcers and its care will ensure better patient care. AimsTo study the level of knowledge and attitude of nurses towards diabetic foot ulcers and its care in a secondary healthcare centre in sudan. Methods Validated questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and attitude of nurses towards diabetic foot ulcers and diabetic foot care. The questionnaire covers area such as demography, predisposing factors of ulcer formation, characteristics of ulcers, complications of ulcers,and attitude towards diabetic foot care. Results 57% of the participants scored poorly in the knowledge section of the questionnaire. 72% had scored poorly when asked regarding complications of diabetic foot ulcers. 49.5% of the nurses have a positive attitude towards diabetic foot care and 79.3% of the nurses think that care for diabetic foot ulcer is time-consuming. Majority of the nurses think that colleagues are the main knowledge updating source.All demographic variables were deemed to be confounders with the knowledge and attitude of nurses towards diabetic foot ulcers and its care. ConclusionsNurses in this centre possess poor knowledge towards diabetic foot ulcers and its care. None of the variable studied have been correlated with the level know nurses’ knowledge. Good or poor knowledge does not correspond equally to good or poor attitude towards diabetic foot ulcers care. More frequent formal training of diabetic foot care would be needed to ensure better knowledge among the nurses. Poor attitude towards diabetic foot care can be contributed by the lack of work force, high workload and lack of multidisciplinary approach towards diabetic foot care.
