Pilot study:Nursing students'perceptions of the environment in two different clinical models

Purpose:This pilot study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of a modified Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure(m-DREEM)tool used to evaluate the effects of different pedagogical approaches in a clinical learning environment on nursing students'learning perceptions.Methods:A sample consisting of 130 nursing students in two different models of clinical education was surveyed.Results:This pilot study demonstrated that m-DREEM yields a high internal consistency.This tool can be used to evaluate nursing students'perceptions of their clinical learning environment on the basis of five sub-scales:students'learning perceptions,facilitators,academic self-perception,atmosphere,social self-perception,and mentorship.Conclusion:A definitive and inferential relationship between sub-scales and clinical models,namely,block and non-block dispersed models,could not be determined because of the small sample size of the block clinical model.Hence,further research should be performed.

Prevention and Control of Postpartum Hemorrhage: Validation of Rangel’s Technology for Huambo, Angola

In the immediate postpartum period, women need to be observed by the obstetric nurse so that measures can be taken to prevent hemorrhages and reduce its complications. Most maternal deaths from hemorrhage are preventable with support measures for clinical practice, such as: guiding protocols, training of professionals, organization and management of health services and provision of adequate conditions for the parturition process. Objective: To validate Rangel’s instrument with its application in the Maternity Ward of the General Hospital of Huambo, Angola. Methodology: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. This is the sixth stage, called pre-test, of the Translation and Cultural Adaptation process. This instrument was sent for evaluation by the validators using the electronic data collection form named Google forms, with a seven-point Likert-type scale (from 7—totally agree to 1—totally disagree). The analysis was performed with the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient index (>0.91) and the Content Validity Index (CVI > 0.98). Results: Of the 10 items of evaluation criteria of the instrument analyzed by the 20 validators, 100% of them obtained a Cronbach’s Alpha index rating of 0.91: clarity;coherence;scientific writing;relevance;sequence;uniqueness and updating. Coverage, item criticality and objectivity reached a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.95. The Content Validity Index was 0.95 for coverage, coherence, item criticality, scientific writing, relevance and updating. Conclusion: Rangel’s instrument for nursing care aimed at preventing and controlling hemorrhage in the third period of birth, translated into Angolan Portuguese and validated by nurses, through the statistical results obtained in the validation, was considered reliable and necessary for clinical nursing practice in Huambo, Angola. .

Effect of mangosteen(Garcinia mangostana Linn)peel extract on migration of endothelial cells treated with lipopolysaccharide

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of mangosteen peel extract(MPE)on migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)treated with LPS.METHODS Cultured HUVECs were divided into five groups:normal(untreated)group,positive control group treated with LPS at dose of 20ng·mL-1 for 24 h,and groups pre-treated with LPS at dose of 20ng·mL-1 for 24 h followed by incubation with MPE at doses of 1,2,and 4-1μg·mL,respectively.HUVECs migration was evaluated using wound-healing migration assay after 24 h of treatment.RESULTS LPS significantly(P<0.05)impaired HUVECs migration compared to the normal.MPE at dose of 1μg·mL-1 increased migration of LPS-treated HUVECs significantly(P<0.05)compared to the positive control and near to the normal level.CONCLUSION The mangosteen peel extract is able to dose-dependently preserve the endothelial cells function.
