Global prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among migrant workers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Migrant workers are increasingly recognised as a nutritionally vulnerable population due to unstable working conditions, disrupted food environments, and limited access to health services. However, global estimates of malnutrition in this group remain fragmented. We aimed to identify the global prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among migrant workers and identify key moderating factors. Methods: and Cochran's Q statistic…
Effects of synergistic tongue and chin resistance training on swallowing function, oral intake, and cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly individuals with frailty: A double-blind randomised…
Background: Tongue strengthening exercises (TSE) and chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) improve swallowing function. However, previous findings are limited to post-stroke population, single-mode therapies, and immediate post-test assessment only, while evidence on effects of combined therapies in community-dwelling elderly individuals with frailty is unknown. Therefore, we explored effects of synergistic TSE and CTAR on swallowing function (tong…
The effectiveness of emotion-oriented approaches on psychological outcomes and cognitive function in older adults: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Background: Emotion-oriented approaches have demonstrated effectiveness in the care of the elderly. However, related studies have reported conflicting results. We aimed to explore the pooled effect of emotion-oriented approaches on the psychological outcomes and cognitive function of older adults through a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: tests. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Ris…
Fostering complex professional skills with interactive simulation technology: A virtual reality‐based flipped learning approach
It has always been a challenging issue to develop complex professional skills accompanied with sufficient professional knowledge and correct judgement. Previous studies have indicated that students have more opportunities for practice in flipped learning contexts. Basically, complex professional skills training is often risky in different real‐world applications. Therefore, most medical training lessons are done through case discussions, interpre…
Efficacy of multi-domain cognitive function training on cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia: A one-year pro…
Background: Cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination are higher-level functions sharing a complex relationship. Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of multi-domain cognitive function interventions to improve cognitive outcomes. We evaluated the effectiveness of such interventions on cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia. Meth…
An MDRE approach to promoting students' learning performances in the era of the pandemic: A quasi‐experimental design
Educators have indicated the need to foster students' ability to solve problems by acquiring up‐to‐date knowledge as well as promoting their competences for making decisions from diverse perspectives based on the acquired knowledge. Traditional courses mainly use lecture‐based instruction without providing sufficient opportunities for students to practice and interact with the teacher; therefore, it is difficult to deliver such up‐to‐date knowled…
Health Literacy and Exercise to Treat Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A National Survey Study
Aging is a major challenge facing modern society and has attracted global attention. Studies have provided some initial evidence that health literacy plays a role in determining frailty; however, most of these studies have used small convenience samples of individuals recruited from geographically limited areas, thus limiting the generalizability of their findings. The present study explored the relationships among health literacy, exercise, and …
Fostering Nursing Staff Competence in Personal Protective Equipment Education during Covid-19: A Mobile-Video Online Learning Approach
Nursing staff who are competent to use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly can protect themselves while providing safe, high-quality care to patients. Under pandemic conditions, the ability to wear PPE correctly is essential in clinical practice, but the acquisition of correct PPE-wearing procedures is difficult for most staff in the absence of live practice drills. This study aimed to test the mobile video online learning approach by i…
Air Pollution Exposure and the Relative Risk of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Taipei
(1) Background: The etiologies of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) remain unclear. The level of mean particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) was not associated with SSHL, but the maximum PM2.5 level exhibited a negative association with SSHL in Korea. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) for 2 weeks increased the risk of SSHL. The lag effects of SSHL after air pollution exposure were limited. We aimed to evaluate the …
A Large‐Scale Survey on Trauma, Burnout, and Posttraumatic Growth among Nurses during the Covid‐19 Pandemic
A large‐scale survey study was conducted to assess trauma, burnout, posttraumatic growth, and associated factors for nurses in the COVID‐19 pandemic. The Trauma Screening Questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory‐Short Form were utilized. Factors associated with trauma, burnout, and posttraumatic growth were analysed using logistic and multiple regressions. In total, 12 596 completed the survey, and 52.3% worked…
Second-Hand Smoke and Its Synergistic Effect with a Body-Mass Index of >24.9 kg/m2 Increase the Risk of Gout Arthritis in Indonesia
To analyze the association between smoking status (active smoking and exposure to Second-Hand Smoking (SHS)) and the synergistic effect of smoking status and BMI with gout risk, a community-based case-control design was undertaken among 385 participants, including 304 healthy controls and 81 gout patients from seven community health services. Adjusted Odd Ratios (AORs) and 95% Confidence Interval (CIs) of gout for active smoking and SHS were 3.26…
Effect of Work–Family Conflict, Psychological Job Demand, and Job Control on the Health Status of Nurses
Work-family conflicts (WFCs) are common in the healthcare sector and pose significant health risks to healthcare workers. This study examined the effect of WFCs on the health status and nurses' leaving intentions in Taiwan. A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey 200 female nurses' experiences of WFC from a regional hospital. Data on psychosocial work conditions, including work shifts, job control, psychological job demands, and work…
Large-Scale Assessment of Function and Disability in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Using the Functioning Disability Evaluation Scale-Adult Version
This study assesses the functioning and disability related to Parkinson's disease using the Functioning Disability Evaluation Scale-Adult Version (FUNDES-Adult), based on the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) in a large-scale database; this study describes, discusses and clarifies the predictive factor of not being in an ambulatory status. Of 7455 patients included in this study, 3561 were not ambulatory an…
