Abstract Background Differences in the classification results among triage nurses in the emergency room can be improved by training or applying an algorithm. This study aimed to confirm whether the agreement among triage nurses could be improved through learner-led problem-based learning. Methods This study had a single-group time series design to investigate the effect of problem-based learning led by triage nurses on the agreement of Korean Triage and Acuity Scale classification results for patients who visited the emergency department. We extracted 300 patients each in May and August 2018 before learning began and 300 patients each in May and August 2019 after learning. Results After problem-based learning was applied, the self-efficacy of triage nurses for emergency patient classification increased statistically significantly compared to before learning (7.88 ± 0.96, p < .001), and the weighted kappa coefficient was also found to be almost perfectly agreement (0.835, p < .001). Conclusions In this study, problem-based learning improved the inter-rater agreement of Korean Triage and Acuity Scale classification results and self-efficacy of triage nurses. Therefore, problem-based learning can contribute to patient safety in the emergency department by enhancing the expertise of triage nurses and increasing the accuracy of triage classification.

Abstract BackgroundProblem-based learning is a learner-led learning method that helps improve critical thinking, problem solving skills, and knowledge. It is necessary to confirm whether it can help to agree the severity classification results among nurses through problem-based learning.MethodsThis study had a single-group time series design to investigate the effect of problem-based learning led by triage nurses on the agreement of Korean Triage and Acuity Scale classification results for patients who visited the emergency department. We extracted 300 patients each in May and August 2018 before problem-based learning began and 300 patients each in May and August 2019 after problem-based learning. ResultsAfter problem-based learning, the length of emergency department stay decreased about 30 minutes, although the decrease was not statistically significant (p=.172). However, self-efficacy for the classification of emergency patients in triage nurses and weighted kappa coefficients were improved (p<.001).ConclusionIn this study, problem-based learning led by triage nurses improved the inter-rater agreement of Korean Triage and Acuity Scale classification results and self-efficacy of triage nurses. Therefore, problem-based learning led by triage nurses can contribute to patient safety in the emergency department by enhancing the expertise of triage nurses and increasing the accuracy of triage classification.

ABSTRACT Objective: To adapt and validate a patient classification instrument for neonatal units. Method: Methodological study, with adaptation of the Pediatric Patients Classification Instrument for neonatal patients. After content validation by judges, the instrument was tested for reliability, applied to 33 neonates by two nurses, simultaneously. To assess the agreement among nurses regarding the scores of each patient on the classification scale, an intraclass agreement coefficient was applied. To assess the agreement regarding the classification in care categories, the weighted Kappa coefficient was calculated. Results: The adapted instrument consisted of a total of nine indicators, with three care categories: high dependence on care, semi-intensive care and intensive care. The Content Validity Index varied between 0.85 and 0.92 for items of the instrument. The intraclass agreement was 0.87 and the weighted Kappa for care categories was 0.56. Conclusion: An instrument that allows neonatal patients to be classified into care categories, with satisfactory reliability was validated to support the dimensioning of the nursing team.

Εισαγωγή:Η μελέτη αυτή διερευνά τη διαγνωστική ακρίβεια της ψηφιακής ακτινοσκόπησης επίπεδων ανιχνευτών (FPDD) για την ανίχνευση ασβέστωσης των στεφανιαίων αρτηριών λαμβάνοντας ως μέθοδο αναφοράς την πολυτομική αξονική τομογραφία καρδιάς (MDCT).Μέθοδος:Μελετήθηκε η ασβέστωση των στεφανιαίων σε ασυμπτωματικούς ενήλικες χαμηλού έως μετρίου καρδιαγγειακού κινδύνου χωρίς γνωστή στεφανιαία νόσο με πολυτομική αξονική τομογραφία και με ψηφιακή ακτινοσκόπηση καρδιάς με την τεχνολογία FPDD. Η ασβέστωση κατηγοριοποιήθηκε με βάση την ακτινοσκοπική εξέταση ημιποσοτικά σε απούσα (0), ήπιου (1), μέτριου (2) και σοβαρού βαθμού (3). Εφαρμόζοντας τη μεθόδο Agatston υπολογίστηκε το σκορ ασβεστίου των στεφανιαίων αρτηριών στην MDCT.Αποτελέσματα:Στη μελέτη συμμετείχαν συνολικά 151 ασυμπτωματικοί εθελοντές, 40-60 ετών (μέση ηλικία 53,1 ± 7,4). Οι άνδρες συνιστούν το 76,5% του πληθυσμού της μελέτης. Η ύπαρξη στεφανιαίας ασβέστωσης ανιχνεύθηκε σε 79 (52,3%) και 69 (45,7%) άτομα με την MDCT και την ακτινοσκόπηση αντίστοιχα. Η συμφωνία ανάμεσα στην MDCT και την ακτινοσκόπηση ήταν 77,5% (weighted kappa coefficient 0,75). Η ακτινοσκόπηση ανίχνευσε ασβέστιο σε 50% των ατόμων με ελάχιστη ασβέστωση στην MDCT (σκορ ασβεστίου <10). Με τη χρήση ROC ανάλυσης και λαμβάνοντας ως ουδό σκορ ασβεστίου μηδέν, η AUC ήταν 0,89 (95% CI 0,83-0,93, p=0,0001) με ευαισθησία 82,3% και ειδικότητα 94,4%. Για σκορ ασβεστίου 10, η AUC ήταν 0,91 (95% CI 0,86-0,95 p=0.0001) με ευαισθησία 91,8% και ειδικότητα 85,6%. Για σκορ ασβεστίου 400, η AUC ήταν 0,97 (95% CI 0,94-0,99, p=0,0001) με ευαισθησία 100% και ειδικότητα 88,7%. Η ενεργός δόση ακτινοβολίας ήταν 1,8 ± 0,09 mSv για την MDCT και 0,26 ± 0,13 mSv για την ακτινοσκόπηση.Συμπεράσματα:Η ψηφιακή ακτινοσκόπηση με την τεχνολογία FPDD έχει εξαιρετική διαγνωστική ακρίβεια σε σύγκριση με την καθιερωμένη MDCT για τη διάγνωση της ασβέστωσης των στεφανιαίων σε ασυμπτωματικά άτομα μέσης ηλικίας, με χαμηλό έως μέτριο καρδιαγγειακό κίνδυνο, με το πλεονέκτημα της μειωμένης έκθεσης σε ακτινοβολία.

Students’ creativity and self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems remain low. Students with Field Dependent (FD) and Field Independent (FI) cognitive styleshave different creativity and self-efficacy. One learning model that is believed to increase students' creativity and self-efficacyis Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aimed to increase the creativity and self-efficacyof FD and FI students through the application of PBLmodel. This research is an experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design.The population of this research was grade VIII students in State Islamic School (MTsN) 1 Banda Aceh,while the sample consisted of two classes out of 11 classes. The sampling technique usedrandom samplingwith one experimental class and one control class. Data collection was carried out by using two instruments; a paper-test to measure students’ creativity and a questionnaire to measure students’self-efficacy. The grouping of FD and FI students was based on the results of the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT). Furthermore, a paired t-test was conducted to obtain an increase in students' creativity and self-efficacy. At the same time, a correlation test was performed to see the relationship between creativity and the self-efficacy ofstudents. The results of the study revealed that the increase of FD and FI students’ creativity who were taught by the PBL model was better than students taught by conventional methods. The results also reported that the increase of FD and FI students’ self-efficacy who were taught with the PBL model was better than the students who were taught with conventional methods. In addition, there was a significant relationship between FI and FD students' creativity and self-efficacy.
