Context: First aid is an emergency measure of saving a life, preventing further deterioration, and promoting recovery of the victim before professional medical help is initiated.  Awareness campaigns are significant community efforts to raise awareness of community groups regarding critical concerns. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the first aid awareness campaign on student knowledge among two undergraduate nursing cohorts. Methods: A quasi-experimental research (pre/post-test design) is selected to achieve the aim of this study. The study is conducted at King Saud bin Abdel-Aziz University Health Science College. A sample of 82 undergraduate student nurses is allocated from third and fourth years. A structured interview questionnaire is designed to assess the undergraduate student nurses’ cohorts’ level of knowledge regarding first aid. Results: The study reveals a statistically significant improvement of the two undergraduate nursing cohorts’ level of knowledge in post-test compared to their pre-test scores. A non-statistically significant difference is revealed between two undergraduate nursing student cohorts (3rd and 4th year) level of knowledge after exposure to awareness session. Conclusion: The study provides evidences of the efficacy of awareness campaigns to raise awareness of such a critical issue as first aid among nursing college students, recommending a separate first aid course for undergraduate nursing students once they start their major nursing courses. The study also recommends further studies for evaluating the effect of awareness campaigns as an active student learning method.

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes severe deterioration of functional and cognitive abilities. As the leading cause of dementia in adults, it affects one in every 10 people who are more than 65 years of age. There is a vital need for student nurses with knowledge of Alzheimer's disease to provide high quality care for the growing number of patients. The use of effective nursing interventions for the management of Alzheimer's disease can help student nurses promote independence and quality of life for Alzheimer's disease patients. Thus this study is under taken to assess the effectiveness of the self instructional module (SIM) on nursing management of client with Alzheimer's disease among 4th year B. Sc. (N) students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quantitative evaluative research approach with pre experimental one group pre test and post test research design & non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the 60 samples of B.Sc. (N) 4th year students. Self administered structured knowledge questionnaire were used to collect the information from the study samples. The prepared tool was validated by the experts and the reliability was established. The study was conducted in R.V. College of Nursing and Vidyakirana Institute of Nursing Sciences, Bangalore. The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 19.RESULTS: Findings of the study shown that, the overall mean percentage pre test level of knowledge of B.Sc. Nursing 4th year studentswas 62.08%, and the pre test knowledge score was 35(58.33%) respondents were having moderately adequate knowledge, 13(21.67%) had inadequate knowledge and 12(20%) were having adequate knowledge regarding nursing management of clients with Alzheimer's disease. In the post test overall mean percentage post test level of knowledge was 84.37%. The post test knowledge score was 54(90%) respondents were having adequate knowledge and 06(10%) had moderately adequate knowledge after the administration of SIM. The overall obtained ''t'' value of knowledge 15.6 is highly significant at P< 0.01 level. The obtained chi-square value showed significant association between the pre test level of knowledge and certain socio demographical variables; gender (χ2 =5.12, df =1, p<0.05) and sources of information (χ2 =4.82, df=1, p<0.05). However, it did not show any significant association with other demographic variables of 4th Year B. Sc. (N) students.CONCLUSION: Findings of the study showed that majority of the student nurses were moderately adequate knowledge before administering the SIM. The SIM facilitated them to gain more knowledge regarding nursing management of client's with Alzheimer's disease which was evident in post test knowledge scores. Hence SIM was an effective strategy for providing information and to improve knowledge of students' nurses.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2016)Vol.04 No.02 Issue 14, page: 25-29

Introduction: Recently there have been many studies performed on the effectiveness of implementing LEAN principals to improve wait times for emergency departments (EDs), but there have been relatively few studies on implementing these concepts on length of stay (LOS) in the ED. This research aims to explore the initial feasibility of applying the LEAN model to length-of-stay metrics in an ED by identifying areas of non-value added time for patients staying in the ED. Methods: In this project we used a sample of 10,000 ED visits at the Health Science Centre in St. John's over a 1-year period and compared patients’ LOS in the ED on four criteria: day of the week, hour of presentation, whether laboratory tests were ordered, and whether diagnostic imaging was ordered. Two sets of analyses were then performed. First a two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to evaluate whether ordering either lab tests or diagnostic imaging affected LOS. Second a generalized linear model (GLM) was created using a 10-fold cross-validation with a LASSO operator to analyze the effect size and significance of each of the four criteria on LOS. Additionally, a post-test analysis of the GLM was performed on a second sample of 10,000 ED visits in the same 1-year period to assess its predictive power and infer the degree to which a patient's LOS is determined by the four criteria. Results: For the Wilcoxon rank-sum test there was no significant difference in LOS for patients who were ordered diagnostic imaging compared to those who were not (p = 0.6998) but there was a statistically significant decrease in LOS for patients who were ordered lab tests compared to those who were not (p = 2.696 x 10-10). When assessing the GLM there were two significant takeaways: ordering lab tests reduced LOS (95% CI = 42.953 - 68.173min reduction), and arriving at the ED on Thursday increased LOS significantly (95% CI = 6.846 – 52.002min increase). Conclusion: This preliminary analysis identified several factors that increased patients’ LOS in the ED, which would be suitable for potential LEAN interventions. The increase in LOS for both patients who are not ordered lab tests and who visit the ED on Thursday warrant further investigation to identify causal factors. Finally, while this analysis revealed several actionable criteria for improving ED LOS the relatively low predictive power of the final GLM in the post-test analysis (R2 = 0.00363) indicates there are more criteria that influence LOS for exploration in future analyses.

Emergency cases and any untoward incidents may happen anytime and anywhere. Thus, first aid is an invaluable skill one must learn. Since children spend considerable time at school, knowledge, and awareness in first aid is important especially in situations requiring the skill. This quantitative inquiry investigated the level of awareness of students in performing basic first aid and explores the relationship to their academic performance. It utilized a researcher-made questionnaire to answer the descriptive and inferential questions. It was revealed that students are in high level in performing first aid in burns, wounds and bleeding, and fracture considering the variables. Thus, a very satisfactory level was culled out. In addition, a significant difference exists in their level of awareness and academic performance of students when grouped according to sex, and section. But, there was a positive significant relationship between the student’s awareness in performing first aid and their academic performance. Therefore, the two major areas have direct relationship. It is recommended that a regular emergency awareness campaign be conducted to students to maintain and improve to a highest level. As such, teachers should be provided with the trends in emergency response to effectively teach the concepts of first aid in high competence.
