So, you want to teach; The transition from nurse clinician to educator

MARY Ndip

As the need for graduating more nurses into the global workforceincreases, the number of nursing faculty are predicted to decline related to the aging nursing faculty workforce. When new faculty step up to fill the roles vacated by their retiring colleagues, they will need to be prepared to educate, not just in the traditional classroom, but in a cyber environment as well. Whether as short-term adjunct faculty or as a full time career path educator, the knowledge and skills of educating are very different then those needed as clinical nurses. Syllabi development, traditional classroom management, organizing course and program content, supervising online discussion boards, and promoting critical thought development in students are just some of the necessary abilities. Personal skills to procure a teaching position include effective CV development, job search activities, and successful interviewing techniques for the academic environment. The unique characteristics of academia require specific qualities in successful faculty. This presentation will offer guidance to nurses wishing to transition to the role of faculty, especially in the online format, although the skills can be applied to the traditional role as well. From how to find the first teaching position to virtual classroom management, focused and useful recommendations will be provided. Preparing students to enter successful nursing careers can be a rewardingcareer transition for nurses who wish to give back to their professional.

Detection and clinical manifestation of placental malaria in the Ashantiregion of Ghana.

Kate Gyimah

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by a protozoan parasite called Plasmodium, which lives part of its lifein humans and part in Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, includingAfrica, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and some parts of Europe.Malaria in pregnancy considered to be one of the major public health issues in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are of a specific risk group for Plasmodium falciparum infection, malaria and related health issues. This increased risk is partially due to physiological changes of immunity. Moreover, in pregnancy and by virtue of specific expression variants of the P. falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein-1, parasite strains adhere to the syncytiotrophoblast, that is the surface lining the placental intervillous space. The research was conducted in the Dichemso district in the Ashanti region of Ghana. Dichemsois district of about 25000 inhabitants. Subsistence farming and trade are the main sources of income in the district. In the year 2000, P. falciparum among women attending antenatal care at Church of God Hospital was detected in 41% and 59% by microscopy and PCR assays of peripheral blood samples, respectively. From January 2019 to January 2020, women attending Church of God hospital for delivery were asked to participate in the present study and recruited after informed written consent was obtained. All women were clinically examined, sociodemographic data were documented, and venous peripheral blood collected into EDTA. Fever was defined as an axillary temperature >37.4°C. Following expulsion and after a small incision had been made into the maternal surface of the placenta, blood from the intervillous space was collected with a syringe containing EDTA. P. falciparum was screened for in both placental and peripheral blood samples by microscopy, HRP2 test, and PCR: malaria parasites were counted microscopically on Giemsa-stained thick blood films per 500 white blood cells for peripheral samples and per 100 high-power fields for placental samples in which the presence of leukocyte-associated haemozoin was also recorded.

They become angry, guilty and blame their God. As a result, most of the time people feel sad, face loneliness, and some of them lose control on their emotions and get emotional that decreases their quality of life.

Effect of autologous PRP on patients with persistently thin endometrium undergoing frozen embryo transfer cycles .

Yogitha

Objective: Persistent thin endometrium is a major challenge in ART. Couple phase cycle cancellations due to this problem. There are many methods which have come up recently to resolve this challenge. One of such treatment involves PRP instillation. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of PRP in persistently thin endometrium. Design: Prospective interventional study Materials &methods : Thirtyone women who were scheduled for FET , and were diagnosed to have persistently thin endometrium were involved in this study. These patients also had 2 or more cycle cancellations. In addition to HRT with estradiol valerate, 0.5 ml of autologous PRP was instilled into uterine cavity 48-72 hours before progesterone exposure. Frozen embryo transfer was performed when the endometrium reached an optimal pattern in thickness & vascular it you. Results: Mean endometrial thickness was increased from 5.83 to 7.13 mm post PRP. Power Doppler showed good vascularity , reaching the zones 3 & 4 of endometrium. Positive beta Hcg was 73.3%. Twenty two pregnancies documented.

Human Patient Simulation for Ensuring Safety in Nursing Education

Kim Amer

Human Patient Simulation (HPS) is a pedagogy that has been used extensively in the past decade in both academic and hospital settings. The HPS scenario and manner of teaching varies greatly among teaching sites. Because of the variety of pedagogical approaches this project developed a template and designed scenarios that focus on safe quality nursing care with an interdisciplinary focus. The strength of HPS is the ability for teachers to observe many students at one time. Educators can build meaningful and compelling experiences that can guide learners into deeper and more nuanced understanding of complex situation.

health education and cross contamination at yerer hospital

Biniyam Endeshaw Kassay

A significant number of deceases, 16 million unnecessary days of hospital stay and large amounts of spending is caused by HealthcareAssociated Infections (HCAI), according to the World Health Organization (WHO) [1]. Major effort has been put into improving hand hygiene standards for healthcare providers (HCP) to manage hospital internal sources of contamination. In recent years strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) present an increasingly hard challenge to hospital hygiene because their spread cannot be reliably prevented by antibiotics. Life science industry representatives (IR) may escalate this problem: They often
