Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease causes an increased risk of liver cirrhosis and cardiovascular disease. Increasing number of abdominal obesity clients, and unhealthy dietary habits, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has been recognized as a serious health and financial burden. Dietary behaviors and exercise are the important factors to development and improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a lifestyle intervention on biochemical indicators and level of fatty liver index in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly. Methodology: This was a cluster randomized controlled study. The group A (n=45) received an exercise and diet intervention program. The group B (n=45) received an exercise intervention program. The control group (n=45) received a health education leaflet. The measurement time was baseline and six months from 2018 and 2019 in northern Taiwan. We used ANOVA to analyze these data. Findings: After 6 months, 64.4% participants in the group A, 33.3% participants in the group B, and 28.9% in the control group achieved the suggestion of healthy dietary behaviors. 71.1% participants in the A group, 68.9% participants in the B group, and 53.3% participants in the control group achieved the suggestion of 200 minutes of physical activities. There were significant differences that the improvement of fatty liver index (5.00 vs 1.77 vs -5.3), waist circumference (3.82cm vs 2.57 cm vs 0.93cm) and triglyceride (22.07mg/dl vs 10.04mg/dl vs -38.82mg/dl) in the group A, B, and the control group. The improvements in the group A and B were better than the control group. Conclusion & Significance: The community-based intervention program improved biochemical indicators and level of fatty liver index in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly. Recommendations are made for community-dwelling adults to perform exercise and diet to improve the status of fatty liver

Primary Investigator: Diana Zelman, RN, BScN

Diana Zelman has been a registered nurse since 2016 and began working as a registered nurse for Toronto Western Hospital shortly after completing her Bachelors of Nursing Science from Ryerson University.

Co-Investigator: Fiona O'Neill, RN, BScN

Fiona O'Neill is a registered nurse who works at the Toronto Western Hospital operating room. She has worked in the operating room since graduating from Queen's University in 2015 with a Bachelors of Nursing Science. Since beginning in the operating room, she has become a mentor and preceptor to new staff, been the principle investigator of a Krembil nursing project and continues to be involved in unit initiatives.

Abstract:

A sharp injury can be a stressful event for any team member in the operating room. A Krembil quality improvement project was conducted in 2018 to identify gaps in knowledge related to management of sharps in the operating room and create a culture of safety among operating room nurses. Data collected using incident reports between 2015-2017 among four UHN sites including Toronto Western Hospital revealed a high number of sharp injuries among members of the OR team – a trend which does not appear to be declining. Utilizing the latest standards from ORNAC and AORN, as well as input from Toronto Western Operating room nurses, a new Sharp Safety Standard of Practice was created. Practices in accordance with safe sharp management guidelines are expected to result in reduced percutaneous sharp injuries and enhanced patient and staff safety in the OR. This poster aims to share of the knowledge gained and lessons learned developing a standard of practice as well as educate nurses on changes in practice regarding sharp safety in the operating room. The outcomes of implementing a safe sharp management SOP will also be outlined.

Biography:

Pen Hsin, Hou is currently a lecturer at the Mackay Junior College of Medicine, Nursing and Management, and pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Science. She is an expert in qualitative research. In the past, she worked as a clinical nursing teacher for 11 years and was well aware of the role and pressure of clinical teachers. Therefore, this study uses qualitative research to explore the role dilemma and breakthrough of clinical nursing teachers.

Abstract:

There are many clinical nursing teachers serving in five-year nursing colleges in Taiwan. They are employed by their respective schools but work in hospitals. These teachers need to meet the needs of hospitals, schools, patients, and students. This often causes teachers to become physically and mentally exhausted, resulting in high turnover rates, which in turn affects their students' internship performance and the quality of care that these students provide. The purpose of this study is to help deconstruct the difficulties present in the role of the clinical nursing teacher by examining the dilemmas and breakthrough approaches associated with the role. In this study, the researchers used a qualitative research design and conducted in-depth interviews with 12 clinical nursing teachers. These teachers each possessed between one to 10 years of work experience and worked at five-year nursing colleges. Data was collected through one-on-one semi-structured interviews that were recorded and faithfully transcribed. Thereafter, Colaizzi's phenomenological method of data analysis was performed to categorize, analyze, and organize the data. Finding: The clinical nursing teachers have great responsibilities, but feel isolated from others due to their role in this study. It is thus necessary for them to acquire the ability to adapt well and actively form a relationship with the environment. It is suggested that schools and hospitals should provide more care and assistance to teachers so as to enhance the quality of teaching.
