“…The sensing fitness of the resistant response of

= 1 MHz is presented in Table 7 and Figure 10 . Our experimental testing explained the humidity-sensing mechanism, as suggested in previous studies [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 11 , 13 , 26 , 32 ]. At higher frequencies, there was a change in humidity sensors because adsorbed water molecules cannot be polarised with a rapid change in clinical settings [ 16 , 33 ].…”

“…The response time was tested by quickly moving the humidity sensor in a relatively dry environment (35% RH), which achieved 90% of the total impedance change. The sensitivity exhibited a fast response and a recovery time of between 10 s and 30 s, which is the best reported time for a resistive type of humidity-sensing mattress for IAD in clinical settings [ 24 , 32 , 37 ]. A sputtered metal oxide film (1.2

) acted as both an RH and a piezoelectric actuation layer for the electrode.…”

Designing new medical devices with advanced humidity sensors is of great significance for patients with incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). The primary goal of this study is to test the humidity-sensing mattress system for patients with IAD in clinical settings. The design of the mattress is set at 203 cm, with 10 × 3 sensors, dimensions of 19 × 32 cm, and a weighted bearing of 200 kg. The main sensors consist of a humidity-sensing film, a thin-film electrode (6 × 0.1 mm), and a glass substrate (500 nm). The sensitivity of the test mattress system showed that the resistance-humidity sensor was at a temperature of 35 °C (= 30 V, = 350 mV), with slope at 1.13 V/fF, = 1 MHz, 20–90% RH, and a response time of 20 s at 2 m. In addition, the humidity sensor reached 90% RH, with a response time of less than 10 s, a magnitude of 1–1 , 1 mol%, , and F, respectively. This design is not only a simple, low-cost medical sensing device, but also opens a new pathway for developing humidity-sensing mattresses in the field of flexible sensors, wearable medical diagnostic devices, and health detection.

“…It is important to distribute body pressure by expanding the contact area between the body and mattress when the patient is in an operative position. Currently, devising pressure redistribution and postural fixation using a pressure-dispersing mattress is an essential countermeasure for perioperative pressure ulcers [ 20 , 21 ]. The body pressure on the axilla in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group.…”

BackgroundIn neurosurgical procedures where the park bench position is employed, the risk of perioperative pressure injuries is elevated due to the limited contact surface area, with the head and part of the upper torso extending beyond the surgical table. This study aimed to examine the effects of preventative measures against such injuries, proposing a potential standard for postural fixation in these surgeries. MethodsConducted at a medical center, from January 2017 to March 2023, this prospective cohort study involved participants aged 20 and above who underwent neurosurgical procedures in the park bench position under general anesthesia. The focus was on comparing the incidence of pressure injuries between intervention and control groups. The study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. ResultsOut of 65 patients enrolled, 28 were assigned to each of the intervention and control groups. The control group experienced 17 instances of postoperative pressure injuries and skin disorders in areas prone to pressure, such as the axillary and greater trochanter regions. Conversely, the intervention group reported no such incidents, underscoring the efficacy of meticulous surgical positioning and management of bodily pressure, temperature, humidity, and microclimate. ConclusionImplementing preventive measures in neurosurgical park bench procedures significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative pressure injuries and skin disorders. These findings advocate for the adoption of standardized postural fixation protocols in such surgeries, potentially influencing global clinical practices in neurosurgery.

Reviews of nursing research contribute to identifying the research direction of the institution and benefiting the development of knowledge in caring for people and the advancement of the nursing profession. This article aimed to review nursing research according to research vision, research design, nursing roles, and nursing fields, as well as the outcomes, at the Faculty of Nursing, Thammasat University, Thailand. The keyword search included four visionary research domains: palliative care, geriatric care, family health and health promotion, and education and innovation. Research studies were conducted by graduate-level students, faculty members, and researchers within the faculty during the period of 2005 to 2022. The data retrieval process involved accessing electronic records through the Nursing Faculty's research unit's computers, supplemented by searches for author names with publications in databases such as PubMed Central (PMC), Science Direct, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, Mosby's Nursing Consult, and Thai Journal Online through the one-search feature in Google Scholar within the Scopus database. The search results yielded a total of 354 research studies, categorized according to the faculty's research vision, as follows: family health and health promotion (72%), education and innovation (15%), geriatric care (9%), and palliative care (4%). When classified by research design, it was found that quasiexperimental research constituted the majority (50.8%), followed by descriptive correlational research (30.0%), research implementation (7.3%), mixed-methods research (5.4%), qualitative research (5.1%), and randomized controlled trials (1.4%). When considering nursing roles, the most prevalent were health promotion and prevention (44.4%), followed by care provision (32.8%), integrative role (18.6%), rehabilitation (2.8%), and therapeutic role (1.4%). By nursing fields, the predominant focus was on adult nursing (35%), followed by psychiatric and mental health nursing (27%), community health nursing, education, and innovation (19%), maternal and child nursing (7%), pediatric and adolescent nursing (7%), and geriatric nursing (5%), respectively. Upon evaluating the outcomes, it was noted that the research articles were published in the Scopus database journals at a rate of 29.38%, and were cited within international journals in the Scopus database at a rate of 15.82%. The findings of this research review serve as a guide for aligning nursing research development with the research vision and achieving positive outcomes.
