    Abstract Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for delivering high-quality healthcare and effective self-care. Enhancing clinical nurses' research competencies through structured mentorship is key to the widespread application of EBP. This study evaluated a newly developed Research Competency Enhancement Program (RCEP), aimed at bolstering EBP among experienced nurses.
    Methods: Conducted in a tertiary university hospital in Korea, this single-group study employed a pretest-post-test design and a mixed-methods approach. The RCEP involved 11 experienced clinical nurses in an 8-week intervention, featuring mentor-led workshops, interactive sessions, and resource-driven activities. Data were collected using the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs Scale (EBPB), the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPA), and the Research Practice Ability (RPA) tool, alongside qualitative feedback. These measures assessed the program's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness.
    Results: The quantitative analysis indicated significant improvements in research competency post-intervention. Mean scores on the EBPB and RPA scales increased (Z = -2.53, p = .011; Z = -2.66, p = .008). Participants described the RCEP as inspirational and challenging, creating an environment conducive to research. Facilitators included mentor support and innovative learning tools, while barriers were internet connectivity and scheduling conflicts. Suggestions for improvement included more hands-on sessions, small team collaborations, and integration with academic institutions.
    Conclusion: The RCEP, facilitated by EBP mentors, significantly improved the research competencies and attitudes of clinical nurses towards EBP. The study underscores the importance of continual RCEP refinement, integrating structured, interactive, and collaborative elements to further empower nurses in evidence-based practice. The program shows promise in enhancing research competencies and fostering a commitment to EBP in clinical settings.

    Abstract This study aimed to identify keywords, core topic areas, and subthemes by analyzing feedback journals written by preceptor nurses to new nurses during the preceptorship period and to derive implications through word clustering. A total of 143 preceptor nurses' feedback journals for new nurses from March 2020 to January 2021 were converted into a database using Microsoft Office Excel. Text network analysis was performed using the NetMiner 4.4.3 program. After data preprocessing, simple frequency, degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and community modularity were analyzed. In the feedback journals, the most central words were "study," "medication," "practice," "nursing," "method," "need," and "effort," whereas frustration, "new nurses" had low centrality. Five subthemes were derived: (1) learning necessity to strengthen new nurses' competency, (2) independence of new nurses, (3) emphasis on accuracy in nursing skills, (4) difficulties in understanding the nursing tasks expected of new nurses, and (5) basic competency of new nurses. The results of this study highlighted the experiences of new nurses and allowed for an assessment of journal feedback content provided by preceptor nurses. As such, the study provides basic data to develop a standardized education and competency empowerment program for preceptor nurses.

    Abstract Personal digital assistants can perform multiple functions such as Internet search, documentation, calculating, and barcode scanning. This study examined nurses' perceptions of personal digital assistants used as a barcode scanner for medication administration, blood transfusions, and blood collection. A total of 236 nurses participated in the survey using the instrument developed by the researchers. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and the Scheffe test. Written responses to the advantages and drawbacks of using personal digital assistants were categorized by meaning. The results showed that the nurses perceived more drawbacks than advantages in using personal digital assistants because of nonworking barcodes, prescription practice requiring additional scanning, poor interfacing between personal digital assistants and the EMR, and frequent Wi-Fi disconnection. The drawbacks resulted in delays in nursing workflow for patient care. Therefore, increasing the availability of barcode scanning for all medications applicable to personal digital assistant use, redesigning the practice of current prescriptions to eliminate additional scanning, and seamless interfacing between personal digital assistants and EMRs should be considered. This enables the nurses to use personal digital assistants more efficiently and effectively for patient care.

    Abstract Background: While awake, flexible bronchoscopic intubation has long been considered the gold standard for managing anticipated difficult airways, the videolaryngoscope has emerged as a viable alternative. In addition, the decision to perform awake intubation or to proceed with airway management after induction of general anesthesia should be grounded in a comprehensive assessment of risks and benefits.
    Case presentation: A 41-year old female patient was scheduled for excision of bilateral, mobile, and pedunculated masses on both aryepiglottic folds, which covered almost the entire upper part of the glottis. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's signs and symptoms, which included neither stridor nor dyspnea in any position, along with the otolaryngologist's opinion and the findings from the laryngeal fiberscopic examination. Given the potential challenges and risks associated with awake flexible bronchoscopic intubation for this patient, we decided to proceed with gentle tracheal intubation using a videolaryngoscope under general anesthesia. In case of failed mask ventilation and tracheal intubation, we had preplanned strategies, including awakening the patient or performing an emergent tracheostomy, along with preparations to support these strategies. Ensuring that mask ventilation was maintained with ease, the patient was sequentially administered intravenous propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium. Under sufficient depth of anesthesia, intubation using a videolaryngoscope was successfully performed without any complications.
    Conclusions: Videolaryngoscopic intubation after induction of general anesthesia can be a feasible alternative for managing difficult airways in patients with supraglottic masses. This approachshould be based on a comprehensive preoperative evaluation, adequate preparation, and preplanned strategies to address potential challenges, such as inadequate oxygenation and unsuccessful tracheal intubation.

    Abstract Background: As individuals age, they experience a decline in muscle strength and balance, leading to diminished functional capacity and an increased risk of falls. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of the Taekkyon-based exercise program on balance, muscle strength, and gait ability in women aged over 65-year-old residing in the local community.
    Methods: Forty-eight subjects were randomly allocated into the Taekkyon-based exercise program as an experimental group (EG = 25; mean age: 71.68 ± 3.26) or a fall prevention program as a control group (CG = 23; mean age: 73.65 ± 5.88). EG participants received 1-hour Taekkyon exercise sessions twice a week for 12 consecutive weeks. CG participants received a typical fall prevention program. The measurements in each group included assessments of balance levels (the timed up-and-go test, one-leg stance, and functional reach test), lower extremity strength (the 5-chair stand test and 30-second chair stand test), and gait parameters (cadence, step length, step width, stride length, stride time, and gait velocity) before and after the intervention.
    Results: After the intervention, balance (timed up-and-go test, one-leg stance, and functional reach test), lower extremity strength (5-chair stand test and 30-second chair stand test), and gait parameters (cadence, stride time, and gait velocity) showed a significant improvement in EG participants compared to CG participants (P < .05). Compared to the normal value of balance ability and strength of elderly women over 65 years of age, most outcomes were greater than average normal values for those receiving Taekkyon exercise.
    Conclusion: Taekkyon-based exercise program was more effective in improving balance, lower extremity strength, and gait capacity than the usual fall prevention program in elderly women over 65 years of age. Its effects can approach normal values for women in this age group. The 12-week Taekkyon-based exercise program could be useful as part of a fall prevention program to elderly people.

    Abstract The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) is a subgroup of viridans streptococci comprising three species: S. anginosus, S. constellatus, and S. intermedius. SAG usually resides in the oral cavity and colonizes the throat, and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. SAG can form abscesses in various parts of the body; however, the clinical features of SAG infection are not clear. Here, we reviewed the medical records of all SAG bacteremia patients aged over 18 years who were diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2021 at a tertiary university hospital. We then compared clinical characteristics, source of infection, need for surgical or interventional treatment, and 28-day mortality rates among each species of SAG. Differences in percentages between groups were compared using a proportion test, and differences between mean values were assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc Bonferroni correction. In total, 84 cases of SAG bacteremia (40 S. anginosus cases, 31 S. constellatus cases, and 13 S. intermedius cases) were identified. The most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus (n = 26, 31%), and the most common source was hepatobiliary infection (n = 30, 35.7%). Polymicrobial bacteremia was observed in 22.6% (19/84) of cases. Twenty-eight day mortality due to S. anginosus bacteremia was 12.5%; no deaths were reported in the S. constellatus and S. intermedius groups. However, the difference among the groups was not significant (p = 0.054). Hepatobiliary infection was the most common source of SAG bacteremia. In addition, S. anginosus bacteremia resulted in more severe disease and higher mortality rates than S. constellatus or S. intermedius bacteremia.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediation effect of depressive symptoms on the relationship between white matter hyperintensities and the basic activities of daily living (BADL) using an integrated approach to overcome the limitations of previous studies and examine the relationship among the three variables simultaneously.
    Methods: We performed structural equation modeling using cross-sectional data from 497 Alzheimer's disease (AD), AD with small vessel disease, and subcortical ischemic vascular dementia patients enrolled in the Clinical Research for Dementia of South Korea registry who were diagnosed with mild-to-moderate dementia. Periventricular white matter hyperintensities (PWMHs) and deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMHs) were visualized separately at baseline using magnetic resonance imaging. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Korean Form of the Geriatric Depression Scale at the follow-up assessment conducted after 1 year. BADL were assessed using the Barthel Index at the follow-up assessment conducted after 2 years.
    Results: The direct and indirect effects of DWMHs on the BADL as mediated via depression were significant. However, neither the direct effect of PWMHs on the BADL nor the indirect effect of PWMHs on the BADL via depression were significant.
    Conclusion: This study presented a mediation model that included a longitudinal developmental pathway from DWMHs to deterioration in the BADL mediated via depressive symptoms. Moreover, the mediation model of depressive symptoms could not be applied to the longitudinal developmental pathway from DWMHs to the deterioration in BADL.
