“…This approach was chosen because we believed it important to consider measures from various perspectives to improve delirium care competency. Based on allocation criteria for the variety of dependent variables that have been used in previous studies (Padilha et al, 2008; Rashkovirs, 2019; Shrestha, 2019), three patterns of median and mean ± 1 SD were set for the level of delirium care competency: [Model 1] at the median of the DCSL‐M total score; [Model 2] between the low/medium (< mean + 1 SD ) and high‐score groups (≧ mean + 1 SD ); and [Model 3] between the low (< mean – 1 SD ) and medium/high‐score groups (≧ mean – 1 SD ). Model 2 was deemed to clarify the factors related to the high‐score group, which helped inform educational suggestions for improving delirium care competency.…”

AimThis study identified the correlates of delirium care competency among shift leader nurses in acute medical wards in Japan.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to February 2020. We sent request letters to a random sample of 381 general acute care hospitals in Japan. Of these, 68 agreed to participate and distributed 735 self‐administered questionnaires to shift leader nurses working in their acute medical wards. The questionnaire included the Self‐rated Delirium Care Competency Scale for Shift Leader Nurses in Acute Medical Wards (DCSL‐M), developed by the authors. It gathered data on the respondents' demographics and delirium care competency, and investigated a total of 25 variables. We calculated descriptive statistics and examined associations between delirium care competency and the demographics using multiple logistic regression analysis.ResultsOf the total, 301 (40.9%) questionnaires were returned. Delirium care competency was high among shift leader nurses who: (1) had experience as a clinical practice preceptor for nursing students; (2) had experience attending training related to dementia or delirium care; (3) worked at a hospital/ward that charged additional medical fees for dementia care; and (4) had access to consulting psychiatrists to refer patients with delirium.ConclusionsThe results suggest the need for efforts to improve delirium care competency among shift leader nurses who work in hospitals that do not charge additional medical fees for dementia care or that do not have consulting psychiatrists to refer patients with delirium.

Background The first few minutes after birth are the most dangerous for the survival of an infant. Babies in neonatal intensive care units are either under heated or overheated, and hypothermic infants remain hypothermic or develop a fever. As a result, special attention must be paid to monitoring and maintaining the time of recovery from hypothermia states. Despite numerous studies, only a few have examined the transition from neonatal hypothermia and associated risk factors in depth. Method A retrospective observational study was conducted to track axillary temperatures taken at the time of neonatal intensive care unit admission, which were then tracked every 30 minutes until the newborn’s temperature stabilized. All hypothermic neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2018 and December 2020 was included in the study. Temperature data were available at birth and within the first three hours of admission for 391 eligible hypothermic neonates. The effect of factors on the transition rate in different states of hypothermia was estimated using a multi-state Markov model. Result The likelihood of progressing from mild to severe hypothermia was 5%, while the likelihood of progressing to normal was 34%. The average time spent in a severe hypothermia state was 48, 35, and 24 minutes for three different levels of birth weight, and 53, 41, and 31 minutes for low, moderate, and normal Apgar scores, respectively. Furthermore, the mean sojourn time in a severe hypothermia state was 48, 39, and 31 minutes for three different levels of high, normal, and low pulse rate, respectively. Conclusion For hypothermic survivors within the first three hours of life, very low birth weight, low Apgar, and high pulse rate had the strongest association with hypothermia and took the longest time to improve/recover. As a result, there is an urgent need to train all levels of staff dealing with maintaining the time of recovery from neonatal hypothermia.
