Comparison of Propofol Ketamine and Propofol Fentanyl Combinations to Make Patient Comfort and Psychologically Ease in Colonoscopy Procedures
Get PDFIntroduction: Patient comfort and ease are crucial for successful colonoscopy procedures. Propofol, due to its minimal analgesic properties, needs to be combined with other analgesic drugs, especially opioids. The mixture of ketamine with propofol is a balanced and ideal combination, particularly in emergency patients with unstable hemodynamic, and it produces better sedation quality than the mixture of propofol-fentanyl. With the avoidance of hypotensive effects and manageable pain, discharge time for outpatients or inpatients can be shorter.
Objectives: Analysis of the changes between fentanyl propofol and the combination of sedative drugs in patients requiring colonoscopy.
Methods: This research was a single-blinded randomized intervention analytical experimental cross-sectional study with a consecutive sampling technique. Thirty-two patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups, one receiving a combination of propofol-fentanyl sedation drugs and the other receiving a combination of propofol-ketamine.
Results: In the comparison test of blood pressure, systolic and diastolic heart rate from the beginning to the 25th minute, all p-values were > 0.05 between the propofol-fentanyl and propofol-ketamine groups, indicating no significant difference in hemodynamic among the two groups. In the comparison test on saturation, all p-values were <0.05 between the propofol-fentanyl and propofol-ketamine groups, indicating a significant difference in saturation between the two groups. The mean saturation value was lower in the propofol-fentanyl group compared to the propofol-ketamine group. The comparison test on respiratory rate obtained p-values > 0.05 between the propofol-fentanyl and propofol-ketamine groups, indicating no significant difference in respiratory rate between the two groups. The recovery time was longer in the propofol-fentanyl group (37.87 minutes) compared to the propofol-ketamine group (33.00 minutes).
Conclusions: There were no changes in haemodynamic (blood pressure and pulse rate). There was an important difference in breathing (respiratory rate and saturation time to retrieval) and PADSS in both groups, including propofol ketamine and propofol fentanyl, in the colonoscopy procedure

Examining the Psychological Factors Influencing Intention to Use Business Intelligence Dashboards in the UAE
Get PDFIn spite of the manifold benefits associated with dashboards, their widespread adoption and individual-level usage in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have remained limited. To address this gap, the present study employed quantitative research methodologies, specifically utilizing purposive sampling techniques and a survey instrument for data collection. The analysis employed the SmartPLS technique, which unveiled several factors that influence the intention to use dashboards, including perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived relative advantage (PRA), and perceived quality across multiple dimensions (informational, service, and system). Among these factors, PU exerted the most substantial impact on the intention to use dashboards, followed by PRA, PEOU, perceived service quality, and perceived information quality. Although perceived system quality demonstrated a positive association with the behavioral intention to use dashboards, its effect did not reach statistical significance. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for dashboard developers, furnishing evidence-based guidance on how to design dashboards that augment user acceptability and usage. By empirically testing a research framework based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and extending it to encompass quality as a multidimensional construct, this study elucidates the factors that influence users\u27 intention to use dashboards in the UAE
A Psychological Study of Subjectivity about the Grandparent-Headed Family of Nurses
Get PDFBackground/Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the subjectivity of the grandparent-headed family perceived by nurses, describe the characteristics of each type, and identify the classification of the grandparent-headed family.
Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study applied Q-methodology to describe the characteristics by type and to classify the grandparent-headed family. Twenty nurses currently working in hospitals who agreed to respond were requested to classify 38 statements about the grandparent-headed family. Collected data was analyzed by principal component factor analysis by PC QUANL Program.
Findings: As a result of this study, nurses\u27 perception of the grandparent-headed family was divided into three factors. The results showed three factors and explained 35.14% of the total variable. The first factor was 18.06%, the second factor was 10.17%, and the third factor was 6.91%. Since the first factor had an explanatory power of 18.06%, it can be considered as the factor that most explains the grandparent-headed family. The types of subjectivity for the Grandparent-headed family are \u27a type of positive perception of the Grandparent-headed family\u27, \u27a type of perception of the need for political support for the Grandparent-headed family\u27, and \u27a type of concern about realistic pros and cons\u27.
Improvements/Applications: This study supplied basic materials for understanding and educating clinical nurses about the emerging grandparent-headed family. It also suggested the need to develop strategies to improve awareness of the grandparent-headed family

Psychological Perspectives on the Three Phases of In-Person Instruction: Preparing-to-Teach, Initial-Explanation, and Interaction
Get PDFOne-on-one tutoring has been proven to be an effective method for enhancing learning outcomes for both the tutor and the tutored student. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the three phases of in-person instruction: preparing-to-teach, initial-explanation, and interaction phases. The randomized controlled trial involved approximately 60 children who were assigned to either study for an in-person teaching assignment or an exam during the preparing-to-teach phase. During the initial-explanation period, tutors were required to provide basic lessons to their mentees without fielding any questions, followed by a question-and-answer session (the interaction phase). The study found that participants\u27 learning increased during the initial-explanation and interaction phases as a result of higher-quality explanations provided by both tutors and tutees. However, the phase of preparing to teach did not contribute significantly to the participants\u27 learning. The clarity of the tutors\u27 explanations and the success of their students were not significantly affected by whether they received in-person training or were tested. In conclusion, the phases of explaining the material and interacting with the students were found to be important contributors to students\u27 learning during in-person instruction.The study highlights the importance of effective communication between the tutor and the tutee in enhancing learning outcomes in one-on-one teaching settings. The findings also suggest that the act of preparing to teach may not be as crucial for learning outcomes as previously thought. These results have implications for the design and implementation of effective teaching and learning strategies in various educational settings

Social and Life Cycle Perspectives on Teenager Pregnancy\u27s Psychological Effects
Get PDFTeen pregnancy and psychological well-being are intricately linked. Pregnancy itself may exacerbate a depressive state, but psychological issues are also common precursors to adolescent pregnancies and may play a role in maintaining them. Expectant and parenthood adolescents (EPT) are at a higher risk for mental health issues because they must deal with the stresses of pregnancy, parenthood, and adolescence. Teenagers whose parents have suffered from melancholy are at an even more significant risk of developing depressive symptoms themselves and passing them on to their children. Negative emotional effects are not unavoidable, although they may happen. Well-being results in later life and across generations are influenced by a wide range of risk and safeguarding factors that may be better understood through the lens of the social and ecological framework and the life cycle viewpoint. This method may have significant effects on teenage mental health and the prevention of unplanned or untimely pregnancies. Using a socio-ecological framework and a life cycle viewpoint, this research discusses the differences in mental health results among EPT and highlights the frequency of mental health disorders among this population. We also address the repercussions for treatments and fresh approache
