Abstract:

The numbers of Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) cases have increased dramatically in the last years in Turkey. For that reason, the causes of CKFs and costs related to treatment of CKF are being assessed to compare the types of treatments and to plan the necessary budget for future. Through this study, the aim is to view the success factors of CKF treatment and quantify the results by Decision Tools. Hypertension and Diabetics are main causes of CKF. In a past study carried out by (Aslan & Ozen, 2013) in Turkey, it was found that first three stages of CKF are generally ignored and attention is given to the last two stages of CKF kidneys not being able to perform their functions. In the first case study, the average cost for treatment of each patient and probabilities are drawn to estimate future costs. In the second case study, average lifespan, average parameters of important body signs and cost estimations under different conditions were presented based on the data of Turkish Society Nephrology (TNS) with sensitivity analysis. It is found that the most beneficial treatment method is Transplantation (TX), but it is not possible to find a donor for each patient in Turkey. The expected lifespan is higher for Haemodialysis (HD) patients but, Dialysis (PD) provides more flexibility than HD. The expected cost of a patient for his/her living years with HD is 160,933.04 TL/Life and the expected cost of a PD patient during the life span is 142, 730.67 TL/life.

Abstract:

Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA) is a common cause of respiratory emergency in early childhood and is associated with a high rate of airway distress. FBA peaks at the age of 1-2 years. Many cases of FBA can be preventable yet one of the main risk factors for FBA is a lack of knowledge regarding FBA of caregivers of children. It has been emphasized that public awareness should be increased. Less awareness of parents regarding risk items, risk factors, prevention methods, delay in identifying signs and symptoms of sudden FBA, and less awareness of First Aid Management are the major factors placing children at higher risk for FBA. The primary aim is to evaluate knowledge among parents in Dehiwala- Ratmalana Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas on FBA (i.e. the high risk items, risks factors), secondly to assess parental ability to recognize FBA, evaluate parental knowledge on implementing the first aid management and prevention of Foreign Body Aspiration. To find out whether there is any correlation with parental knowledge on FBA and parental level of education. Simple random sampling method was used regardless of parity, attending routine Child Welfare Clinics (CWCs) during working day mornings and afternoons across the 12 CWCs in Dehiwala and Ratmalana MOH areas. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from 384 fathers, mothers and primary care givers (guardians) who had a child of age 1-5 years. Among 384 parents who participated in the study, 99 cases had a history of FBA with the highest incidence amongst the 1-2 year age group. The overall knowledge of the parents on FBA was average 226 (58.9%); similarly parental knowledge on prevention was also average 291 (75.8%), while the majority had a good knowledge on first aid management 230 (59.9%). The majority of parents had shown a good awareness on risk factors related to FBA as well. As per the results the most parents in this sample had either a good or average knowledge on the risk factors, recognition, prevention and treatment of FBA. In this study population parental overall knowledge on FBA was average. Their knowledge was mainly acquired from community midwives. There was no association between education levels with awareness of risk of FBA, awareness of recognition, awareness of prevention, and awareness of first aid management. Similarly a significant relationship was not found in between education and over all awareness on FBA.

Abstract:

Background: There has been an increased emphasis on the importance of providing efficient and effective methods of career awareness, education, and knowledge for nursing students which could affect their talent and self-efficacy development and enable them to overcome the potential career-related obstacles and barriers.

Purpose: The aim of this study was two-fold; a) to investigate the effect of career awareness sessions on perceived career and talent development self-efficacy and career barriers among nursing students. b) To identify the nature of the relationship between career and talent development self-efficacy and career barriers.

Methods: A quasi-experimental research with one group, pre-test post-test design was conducted using a convenience sample of all nursing students (N=245) who enrolled in the second year of Technical Nursing Institute, Alexandria University and agreed to participate in the research study. The career awareness sessions were introduced to nursing students after obtaining ethical approval for the study. Career and Talent Development Self-Efficacy Scale and Career Barriers Inventory were proved valid and reliable to measure study variables pre and post awareness sessions.

Results: The present study indicated a significant effect of career awareness sessions on the study variables where career and talent development self-efficacy score of nursing students significantly increased. On the contrary, career barriers score significantly decreased after sessions (p<0.001). A significant negative correlation between career and talent development self-efficacy and career barriers was found. Also, career barriers can significantly predict 49.5% of career and talent development self-efficacy among nursing students (F=46.779, p<0.001).

Conclusion & Recommendations: Overall, increasing the career awareness of nursing students emerged as being effective in enhancing their career and talent development self-efficacy and decreasing career barriers. Nursing curricula should prepare nursing students and graduates by offering systematic and continuous career educational opportunities to assist them in choosing career paths that match their interests and professional roles.
