American Heart Association (AHA) suggests primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred treatment for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patient. Non-transfer patient, PPCI should be done within 90 minutes after hospital arrival. Our hospital, over 90% of STEMI patients door-to-balloon time (D2B) < 90 min; but over 20% patient door-to-electrocardiogram time (D2E) is > 10 min. Motivation to accelerate the protocol and shorten D2E time is our concern. A retrospective cohort research enrolled non-transfer STEMI patients from 2011-1-1 to 2014-12-31. Focus on team resource management (TRM) model with ISBAR (Introduction,Situation,Background assessment,Recommendation) structural strategy to enforce team work in care training and mutual communication. As patients arrives hospital with chief chest complaint, chest tightness, breathing shortness and epigastric pain (over 30-yrs), triage nurse immediately send patient to chest pain area (bed, monitor, ECG machine and emergency packs). Brief communications ISBAR to nurse practitioners to medical history and perform ECG. Follow by ISBAR to emergency attending physician. Reading ECG, ER physician decide to activate protocol for PPCI. We construct the protocol on 2013-1-1. Patients enrolled from 2011-1-1 to 2012-12-31 group previous, and 2013-1-1 to 2014-12-31 to group afterward. Among 354 patients, 180 were in previous group, and 174 were in afterward group. Medical chart data recorded: baseline clinical characteristics and angiographic findings, time interval difference and 30-days mortality. Two groups showed no difference regarding median time of D2E, D2B and door-to-cath lab (D2C). But the percentage of D2E < 10 minutes in afterward group is significantly than previous group (90.2% vs. 67.2%, p <0.001). Furthermore, both groups D2E < 10 minutes increased percentage of D2C < 50 min and D2B < 70 min. Afterward group , patients D2E <10 minutes is significantly than D2E < 10 minutes (3.8％ vs. 17.6％，p = 0.045) in 30-days mortality. Our study focus on constructing rapid protocol and TRM strategy to shorten D2E, reduce D2B and decrease 30-days mortality. Previous studies developed strategies in reducing D2B time, included: 1) ED physicians activate the catheterization laboratory; 2) call central page operator to activate laboratory; 3) active catheterization laboratory bases on prehospital ECG; 4) attending cardiologist always on-site. Some strategies require money, manpower but benefits less expectations. Our goal is to use TRM and achieve quick protocol without increase human and resources.Rapid diagnosis STEMI as chief complaints confirmed, perform ECG immediately is the most crucial step. Our protocol combine triage and ECG to reduce D2E time, accelerate procedures and obtain greater prognosis.In conclusion, our study demonstrates a method of using TRM strategy to shorten D2E is beneficial to reduce D2B time and decrease 30-days mortality.

Mr. YIK Tak Wai is a nursing student studying Bachelor Degree of Health Sciences (Major in Nursing) at Tung Wah College in Hong Kong. Mr. Yik is the representative of the group to give the presentation in the conference. His research interests include antibiotics use, primary health, and nursing education.

Antibiotics are important treatment for infections. Since Penicillin was discovered, antibiotics resistance has become an important health concern because antibiotics misuse is evidenced as a major leading cause of antibiotics resistance. Public awareness on antibiotic resistance and antibiotic use is reported relatively weak. This study was to examine knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about antibiotics use and how patient-doctor relationships (PDR) in Hong Kong population. A cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sample. A structured face-to-face interview was conducted using a validated questionnaire. A total of 259 subjects were eligible to join this study. Most of them aged from 20 to 29 years old (42.5%) with mean age 37.44 years old (SD14.42). More than half (~64%) were female and had obtained tertiary or higher education (63.3%). A majority of participants perceived their personal health fair to good (91.5%). Knowledge about antibiotics use was relatively better (mean 7.51 SD 2.50) but the PDR was poorer (mean 3.20 SD 1.60). Of 259 subjects, about 40% were at least prescribed to have antibiotic treatment. Most of the subjects (~80%) had good practice of antibiotics use. The results showed that knowledge (r=0.133, p=0.032) and attitudes (r=0.136, p=0.029) of antibiotic use were significantly associated with PDR. Their good practice can be attributed to their better knowledge and attitudes on antibiotics use. Since PDR has positive effects on knowledge and attitudes of antibiotics use, it is crucial to promote PDR in order to increase the awareness of appropriate use of antibiotics in public.

Taiwan, with an aging index reaching 96.34% (2016), has a critical need for increasing long-term care (LTC) manpower. In recent years, schools at all levels have set up LTC-related departments and programs and have trained growing numbers of LTC students. However, students’ willingness to work as long-term care providers for the elderly after graduation remains low. They have concerns about not being capable enough. Consequently, investigating how to adapt to the role of a long-term care provider as a newcomer, from the perspective of nurses and nurse aides’, may provide a reference point for better assisting students in making a smoother transition to the workplace. Between October 12, 2015 and March 17, 2016, eight respondents were recruited using purposive sampling from an LTC facility in northern Taiwan. Interviewing was individual, and the collected materials were converted into verbatim transcripts for analysis using content analysis. A total of 4 nurses and 4 nurse aides participated in this study. The results revealed that all respondents claimed they chose to work in LTC because they enjoyed spending time with the elderly. They admitted that it had not been easy to adapt to the role in the beginning. However, they believed that as long as one can maintain a “learning by doing” attitude, as well as “not giving up” on challenges, and encouraging oneself with a positive mindset, such as “changing a negative mood to a positive one and looking forward,” then in the end “practice will eventually make perfect, and one should be able to handle everything with ease.” In addition, they mentioned that a mindset focused on “treating patients as family” was the key to remaining in the role for the long term. The present study findings may serve as a reference point for gerontology and long-term care training programs. Likewise, they may aid managers of LTC institutes in designing counseling policies aimed at assisting students during their adaptation phase, both before and after they join the workforce.

Ageing leads to changes in bio-psychosocial status. Since ageing is a process in which people are preparing for dramatic psychosocial changes due to retirement. Those who are working may preparing for their retirement and experience some degree of psychosocial needs and changes. Understanding psychosocial status of this specific population helps develop strategies targeting healthcare and community services for active and healthy ageing after retirement. A survey adopted a cross-sectional design was used to examine psychosocial status among people aged 45 to 64. Data collection was done via Google survey. The validated short-version of Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire was used. A total of 193 eligible subjects joined this study. Most of them aged from 45 to 60 years old (92.2%) with mean age 54.03 years old (SD=4.99). More than half (~72%) were female and had obtained secondary or higher education (96.9%). Most of participants were still working (72.5%). and only 37 of them (19.2%) were retired. Of 193 participants, about 60% of participants did not intend to have early retirement. Regarding their psychosocial status, the most significant psychosocial aspects were achievement of career goals and perception of their career. It indicates that people aged 45 to 64 were still in working mood. They eager to fufill their career goals and concentrate on their career. Promotion programme can increase their awareness of pre-retirement plan. Government needs to give adequate support to this specific population for better active and healthy ageing.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between practicum-related stress and health status in nursing students. A cross-sectional research design was used in this study. Data were collected using two questionnaires, namely the perceived stress scale for nursing students in clinical practice and general health scale. The subjects of this study were fourth and fifth grade nursing students at the junior college in Tainan. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation, Scheffe's method. The result showed that the average score of perceived stress scale was 37.62(SD=16.03). The findings indicate that practicum-related stress was on medium-low level. The most common stressor was “Inexperience of lack of judgement on patient’s condition and management.” During clinical placement, students’ average score of general health scale was 68.98(SD=25.60). That indicated that students’ physical and mental health status during practicum was on medium level. Comparing to different level hospitals, students practiced in medical centers had highest stress level. There were significant differences among hospital level and practicum-related stress (F=39.808, p<0.05), health status(F=21.545, p<0.05). Practicum-related stress of nursing student had a significant positive correlation (r=0.673, p<0.01). In other words, a higher practicum-related stress level was correlated with higher score of general health scale. That means poor health status. The findings in this study could help clinical nursing teachers understand nursing students' stressor and mental health during clinical practice. It could also provide practicum units and the clinical nursing teachers with more information about correcting practicum g program and teaching strategies.

To compare quality of life (QOL) and fatigue in long-term cancer survivors and healthy subjects. We also investigated the differences in relationships of QOL and fatigue between long-term cancer survivors and healthy subjects. Methods Seventeen cancer survivors (breast: 10, gastric: 4, lymphoma: 1, lung: 1, colorectal: 1) and 15 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. All were evaluated for health-related QOL and fatigue. Health-related QOL was assessed using the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey. Fatigue was measured using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). Results No significant differences were found for all 8 subscales of QOL and all 9 subscales of BFI between cancer survivors and healthy subjects. In cancer survivors, 6 of 8 QOL subscales were correlated with fatigue (p < 0.05). In healthy subjects, 3 of 8 QOL subscales were correlated with fatigue (p < 0.05). Conclusions QOL is related to fatigue in cancer survivors more than in healthy subjects. Thus, relieving fatigue might contribute to higher QOL in cancer survivors. We believe that the findings of this study will be relevant in the context of planning rehabilitation for cancer survivors.

Nursing shortage and the university graduates unable to find a job are two major problems in Taiwanese society. The Ministry of Education had encouraged the universities to design the accelerated BSN program for solving the problems. Our school is one of the four universities permitted by the Ministry of Education to recruit students in 2015. We concerns that whether the program is well designed, whether the teachers change their teaching strategies to fulfill the students’ learning needs. Additionally, how the students perceived their learning experiences. We aim to understand the backgrounds of the students, their motivation of entry into this program, their understanding and expectation toward nursing profession and career. Data were collected from 25 students using semistructured, 3-5 focus group interviews. Recorded focus group interviews were transcribed and analysed by qualitative content analysis. This analysis identified four themes: (i) exceptation to Increase pre-entry prerequisites for biology and chemistry courses; (ii) creating a learning Environment; (iii) reduced waste through efficient use resources; and (iv) the ultimate goal of obtaining RN certification. The results of this study will increase our understanding of what and how the students perceive their experiences in the accelerated BSN program. Additionally, the knowledge from this study will also beneficial for policy makers as references for refining this program in the future.

Nursing students in a Bachelor’s educational program in Canada are introduced for the first time to the practice of community health nursing in a 16 weeks’ clinical course. A community health nurse (CHN) works with people where they live, work, learn, worship, and play to promote health (Community Health Nurses of Canada, 2009). CHNs partner with individuals, families, groups, communities, systems, and populations in various settings (Stamler, Yiu and Dosani, 2016). These nurses view health as a dynamic process of physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being and as a resource for everyday life that is influenced by circumstances, beliefs, and determinants of health (CHNC, 2011) In the beginning of the clinical course, students are guided to conduct a Windshield Survey. The Windshield Survey is used as an educational strategy to effect community health nursing clinical outcomes. The survey provides students with a scan on the community, where students collect objective data, but also “notice” what they see, hear, smell and perhaps touch. The Population Health Promotion model is used as a framework to guide information collection. Students ask relevant questions which affect populations, such as: What is public transportation like? Is the community accepting of diversity? Are health resources accessible? Are housing and food sources affordable? The Windshield Survey assists students to “think like a CHN”. This strategy provides students with opportunities to appreciate complex determinants, roles of team partners, and community strengths and capacities. Students learn to appreciate each community has a life of its own and every individual in this community as unique. During our presentation, the authors will share details of the Windshield Survey, including evidence based research, content in the survey, how the survey is conducted, results of the survey as a teaching and learning strategy, and pre and post evaluation by nursing students.

In former times, nursing instructors have utilized the conventional lecture format in nursing education. In recent years, many studies have showed that inquiry teaching strategy have better learning outcomes than traditional teaching strategy. Although nursing instructors have rarely utilized the inquiry teaching strategy in nursing education, many studies suggest that nursing instructors should explore more innovative approaches to improve nursing students’ experience and fitness for practice, especially in higher education. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the influences of inquiry teaching strategy on college students’ learning performance in nursing education. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. There were 46 college students in the control group (traditional teaching strategy) and 42 college students in the experimental group (inquiry teaching strategy). The Inquiry Process Model (IPM) was utilized to design the medical-surgical nursing curriculum. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and Assessment Technologies Institute - Standardized Comprehensive Medical-Surgical Assessment (ATI-SCMSA) were utilized to evaluate college students learning performance. The findings of this study indicated that college students who accepted inquiry teaching strategy performed higher learning motivation than traditional teaching strategy. However, the college students who accepted traditional teaching strategy performed higher score on the ATI-SCMSA than inquiry teaching strategy. The recommendations of this study is that inquiry teaching strategy may be an effective teaching strategy for college students’ learning motivation; however, it may not be an effective teaching strategy for college students’ score in medical-surgical nursing examination.

Alcohol-related trauma, which including drunk driving, fighting or a fall after drinking alcohol, is the main reason for sustaining trauma injury. To provide objective evidences and more complete therapeutic algorithm, this study was designed to investigate the relationship of alcohol-related trauma and the injury severity as well as medical expenses in adults. A retrospective study of the medical records and registered data in Trauma Registry System from 2009 to 2014 was performed at a medical center in southern Taiwan. The patients whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level≧50mg/dl was considered as alcohol intoxication group while those whose BAC level less than 50mg/dl and those who were not required for an alcohol test were deemed as patients without alcohol intoxication group. Of the total 11,033 adult patients, 929 patients with BAC (+) and 10,104 patients with BAC (–) were enrolled in this study. atients with alcohol intoxication had significantly higher rates of head/neck injury, face injury, thoracic injury, and abdomen injury, lower Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score (12.6±3.7 vs. 14.5±1.9, p＜0.001), higher injury severity score (30.8±17.8 vs. 7.7±6.5, p＜0.001), higher short-term mortality (3.6% vs. 1.2%, p＜0.001), longer hospital stay (11.4 days vs. 9.1 days, p＜0.001), and higher proportion of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (35.4% vs. 15.0%, p＜0.001) than those without alcohol intoxication. Alcohol-related trauma is associated to a higher injury severity and increase the cost of medical expenses.

The purpose of this study was to explore work adaption for newly graduated nurses during their first year of nursing career. A qualitative approach with narrative inquiry to nurses who were graduated in 2014 and clinical preceptor with purposive sampling and snow ball sampling. A total 18 newly graduated nurses and 4 clinical preceptors were recruited, each one completed interviews between 1 to 5 times. The results derived from this study would share the knowledge about “phenomenon of adaptation”. Three stage of “phenomenon of adaptation” were: “challenge and changeable stage”, “grow up stage”, and “stabilization stage”. In “challenge and changeable stage“, the themes were revealed included a lack of support and belonging in clinical settings, insufficient career planning, insufficient nursing competences to handle various situations, challenge by various clinical situations, a lack of communication skills, value of nursing, clinical reasoning, and self-confidences. In regard to “grow up stage”; most new nurses were struggles with multiple work stress, caring severe patients and highly difficulties, and adjust the time lag with night shift. In “stabilization stage”; new nurses presented with confidence to nursing profession, recognize the hardness and achievement, fulfilled thankfulness, however, due to the hardness in nursing profession, some of them started to exam nursing career critically. The competence and preparation for newly graduated nurses would be in summed with 8 letters of alphabet: “SURVIVAL” which were “S (support network)”, “U (useful tailored plan)”, “R (resilience)”, “V (vivid scenario)”, “I (interdisciplinary communication)”, “V (value of nursing)”, “A (adjusting to environment)”, and “L (learning by doing)”. In suggestion, nursing school should reform curriculum, teaching strategies, and clinical practicum to enhance nursing students’ clinical competence and preparation.

This study assessed the Citizens’ Satisfaction Index on the Health Services of the Local Government Unit of Binalonan, Pangasinan. The descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional method of research was employed with the use of survey questionnaire as the main data-gathering instrument. Slovin’s Formula was used to determine the sample size. Frequencies and percentage distributions were used to present the descriptive characteristics of the respondents, while a Pearson r correlation was employed to determine significant relationships. The respondents composed of 395 registered voters with ages 41 and above, mostly females, married, high school graduates, Roman Catholic and residing for 21-30 years, employed as professionals within the barangays with monthly incomes of Php15, 100 and above, majority suffered an illness for the past 12 months and pneumonia topped among other diseases. Results revealed Low Awareness (31.33) and Availment (39.20) net scores on the health services, Fair for Satisfaction net score (59.77) and High for the Importance net score (70.77). There was a positive association between Level of Awareness and Level of Availment. (r=0.827) but a negative significant relationship between Importance and Satisfaction (r=-0.945) and Importance and Availment (r=-0.946). Majority of the respondents are not aware of the health services provided by the local government unit. The type of job and monthly income of the respondents affect their availment of health services. The proposed measures should be observed and implemented for the purpose of improving the level of awareness and availment of health services by the people of Binalonan, Pangasinan. Due to the limitations of the study, findings cannot be claimed to be definite, hence, similar studies focusing on health services should be conducted to include other categories under health which are not included in this study.

A correlational study focused on determining if relationships existed between the integrated cultural curricula and the graduating associate degree-nursing student’s level of cultural awareness. The theoretical framework highlighted the importance of culture, knowledge, and care as vital and obligatory to nursing education and practice (Chitty & Black, 2010). The literature implied integrated cultural curricula increased the level of cultural awareness (BRN, 2012; NLN, 2008). In this study, the Pearson r correlation coefficient revealed statistically significant relationships exist between the integrated cultural curricula and the level of cultural awareness among graduating associate degree nursing students. Based on the results of the 51 nursing students surveyed, the cultural awareness level may be attributed to several factors, including the integrated cultural curricula. Student’s learning style, student’s perception of faculty, student’s personal experiences, and cultural encounters contributed to the cultural awareness level. Additionally, the ANOVA results revealed no statistically significant differences based on gender, age, and ethnicity.
