Prediction of pressure ulcer by on-admission Nursing Needs Score “transfer activity”
This study assessed factors related to pressure ulcer development in patients hospitalized at an acute care university hospital with advanced pressure ulcer measures. Analysis was conducted with an alternating decision tree (ADT) using data in the hospital database. Assessed data included sex, age, height, weight, disease, surgery/no surgery, operation duration, nursing needs score A/B items, and data related to pressure ulcers. Based on a 5-stump analysis of the pressure ulcer and non-pressure ulcer groups, operation duration, sex, transfer activity, and BMI were identified as factors related to the development of pressure ulcers. The tree diagram had an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 73.49%±4.26, 82.00%± 18.87, and 73.44%±4.34, respectively. The current dataset was imbalanced, with 51 patients in the pressure ulcer group and 8235 in the non-pressure ulcer group. When using such imbalanced data, there is the drawback of generating a complex decision tree. However, ADT has the strength of generating a single highly accurate tree by combining stumps with high reliability. Unlike other factors, transfer activity, which was extracted as a factor and is a nursing needs score B item, is amenable to nursing intervention. Our findings suggest that pressure ulcers can be predicted by focusing on the degree of independence with respect to transfer activity at the time of hospitalization, based on the daily evaluation of nursing needs data and use of data obtained at the time of hospitalization.departmental bulletin pape
Present State and Problem for Maternity Nursing
少子・高齢化が進む日本社会において、看護師養成数が年々増加している。その中でも、看護系大学は、平成5年以降毎年10校前後増加し、平成28年で248校、定員は21,394名となった。現在の大学数は、平成3年に比べて22.3倍、入学定員数は38.3倍と大学における看護師定員数は急増している。母性看護学の対象は女性とその子ども・家族であるが、母性看護学実習では、実習施設の確保として看護職が母性看護を展開している周産期における看護を中心に実施する学校が多い。これは、母性看護の対象から考えると限られた範囲であるが、少子化に伴い産婦人科、産科を標榜する施設が減少し、実習施設の確保は年々困難になっており、学生が周産期看護を経験する機会は減少の一途をたどっている。そのような状況の中、少ない体験の機会をより深い学びにつなげる指導上の工夫が教員の課題になる。othe
Educational benefi ts of Kyogen in classical theater courses
The present treatise, based on my class experiences of a Kyogen practice course in a high school, intends to explore educational values of Kyogen, which is one of Japanese traditional performing arts, and discuss teaching materials and methods useful for general education.
The basic object of Kyogen lessons in our Department of Theater is not only to teach the students how to appreciate Kyogen but also to make them understand how the traditional Japanese culture seen in Kyogen was built up by our people in a long span of history. Kyogen will bring them to realize their personal growth through their experiencing the traditional culture of Kyogen in a modern day-to-day setting.
Kyogen as a classical theater is a comedy full of laughter induced by human foolishness and robust spirits of ordinary people. Kyogen beautifully depicts subtleness of human spirits that all Japanese actually come across today and feel sympathy with. To understand Kyogen is to deepen your understanding of humanity. Participation in a class or presentation of Kyogen will help you understand yourself better. We will learn self-reliance and self expression
through Kyogen lessons, come to know our presence in relation to others, and see our future fi gures in a new light through participation in a presentation. These things should all add up to give useful clues for a better life to the students on their way to ego development.
Thus, the present treatise fi rst describes the objects and class materials of Kyogen lessons and reports responses heard from the participating students. Secondly, the meaning of learning Kyogen is considered. Thirdly, some proposals to put those educational theories into practice are made.departmental bulletin pape
The Rakugo world as applied to the fi eld of education
The present treatise intends to consider the methodology of Rakugo when it is applied to the fi eld of education. For the last 20 years, I have been giving lectures on Rakugo with practice lessons using a short story to elevate thinking power at various educational institutions.
Most Rakugo punch lines (Ochi) are created by lateral thinking, and therefore they are often contrary to the expectation of most audiences. Such lateral thinking is a weak point to listeners in class. Lateral thinking is based on various different viewpoints and it will therefore lead you to totally unexpected new ideas unrelated to ordinary ones.
Lateral thinking is often compared to vertical thinking, which requires profound related knowledge. Students are expected to think about things for themselves and tell their ideas as smoothly as possible. Rakugo has some elements to educate students in these abilities.
The present treatise makes these elements clear from three points of view: (1) thinking(Escape from groundless imagination!), (2) ism(What is laughed at?), and (3) skills (Punctuation marks in spoken language).departmental bulletin pape
Release of soluble yellow components with substances having an absorption peak at 286 nm during the water-soaking process before cooking dried Hijiki.
During the water-soaking process before cooking dried Hijiki, materials having a UV-absorption
peak at 286±1 nm, were eluted, together with yellow colored materials having broad band between 400 and 520 nm.
The former having a sharp absorption peak showed an inflection point at 23 ℃ against the reciprocals of absolute temperatures, and the latter did not show any inflection point. Probable major tissue localization of these materials in Hijiki plants was discussed in relation with their elution patterns.departmental bulletin pape
Inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) by various antidepressants drugs in monkey platelets
I examined whether two or more distinct amine oxidases exist in monkey platelets. Km values of amine oxidase in monkey platelets were determined with benzylamine as substrate from the Lineweaver-Burk double reciprocal plots. Two Km values, 100 and 1.38 μM at high and low benzylamines, respectively, were obtained.
When the enzyme in platelets was preincubated at 37 °C for 40 min with clorgyline and deprenyl, the deamination of 1 μM benzylamine was not inhibited at high concentrations of these inhibitors, while it was highly sensitive toward semicarbazide. When corresponding experiments were performed with 100 μM benzylamine, opposite results were obtained. Inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO; EC 1.4.3.6) was not infl uenced by varying the time of incubation of the enzyme with semicarbazide, indicating direct and reversible inhibition of SSAO. These data might suggest the existence of not only monoamine oxidase (MAO; EC 1.4.3.4) but also SSAO in monkey platelets. The mode of inhibition of SSAO was reversible. The most potent inhibition of SSAO was observed with imipramine, followed by maprotiline, zimeldine and nomifensine. The mode of inhibition of SSAO was reversible.
Tricyclic antidepressant drugs were most selective inhibitors of SSAO activity in monkey platelets, as compared with other types of antidepressant drugs.departmental bulletin pape
Recollections of the Pacifi c War in the eyes of a school kid
Seventy years have passed since the end of the Pacifi c War. It would thus be meaningful to undertake various studies on this Great War. At the end of the War in 1945, the author was a public primary school fi rst grader.
Although he was just a small kid, he recalls those eventful hard days vividly.
In the present article, he writes about his experiences and memories of those days, such as miserable daily lives caused by the war, terrors of air raids, collapse of all urban lives, and the whole turmoil caused by social changes ensuing thereafter. In view of those regrettable times, we must thank the fact that Japan has so far been a peaceful
country.
Since the number of people of younger generations who do not know about the last war is now increasing, the author would feel exceedingly happy if they could understand rightly the peaceful status of today’s Japan after they read his
experiences and memories of those days described in this article.departmental bulletin pape
Daily physical activity and QOL in hemodialysis patients
In the present study we examined daily physical activity and QOL in hemodialysis outpatients.
Our subjects were 30 patients (16 males and 14 females, mean age 63.3±12.5 years) who had been undergoing periodical hemodialysis treatments for more than two years. We recorded daily pedometric steps as a parameter of daily physical activity and examined if there were any relationships to their sexes and body weight gains.
The mean number of daily steps in the total patients was 3796 fewer than that in ordinary people of the same age group (National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2004).
The mean number of daily steps was significantly fewer in male patients than in females (P<0.05), and it was also fewer in those gaining a more than 6% body weight than in those gaining a less than 6% or no body weight (P<0.05). The gender difference may be ascribable to differences in the amount of housework at home and means of transportation to and from the hospital.
The physical summary score of QOL in the patients was lower than that of the general population (P<0.01), but the mental summary score was higher than that of the general population (P<0.05).departmental bulletin pape
The signifi cance of Practical observation of dissected cadavers in Nursing students
On-site observation of human dissected cadavers was conducted in “Anatomical Physiology II”, a required course in the second semester of the fi rst year of the school of Nursing, a new department established in this academic year. In the present study, we positioned this on-site anatomy program as experiential learning based on active learning, and assessed effects of this learning program on students based on results of a questionnaire survey conducted after the on-site anatomy program. The survey, which consisted of 10 items and free responses,
was conducted anonymously after the conclusion of the course. The survey responses were obtained from 87 students (response rate, 96.7%). A total of 80 students (92.0%) answered that this on-site anatomy program should be maintained as part of the course. In addition, 75 students (87.4%) answered that the program “provided an opportunity to think about the thoughts of diseased individuals and their families who donated their bodies for advancement of medicine. The free responses revealed that, through the experiential learning by seeing and
touching the cadavers during the on-site anatomy program, the advanced their understanding through textbooks to an experiential understanding in which they confi rmed what they had learned from textbooks, and became satisfi ed through the sensation of having obtained a true understanding. This experiential learning was found to enable the students to deepen their understanding of and interest in the human body and encourage them to think about death in
humans. Thus, this program was found to be a form of active learning that promotes motivation to study nursing.departmental bulletin pape
