Biography:

Claude Billeaud has completed his MD degree from the Medical University of Bordeaux, France. He has been the Clinical Assistant Director of Bordeaux University in the Departments of Pediatrics, Neonatology and Intensive Care since 1983. He currently serves as a Pediatrician in the Neonatal Unit at the Children’s Hospital of Bordeaux, as a Scientific Manager of Bordeaux-Marmande Human Milk Bank, as a Lecturer and Head of Research in Neonatal Nutrition at the Medical University of Bordeaux. He has served as the President of the Association for Pediatric Education in Europe and he is a Member of European Academy of Pediatrics. He is currently carrying out several researches on the composition of human milk. As an expert in nutrition and perinatal medicine, he is also the author and co-author of numerous scientific publications.

 

Abstract:

Background & Aim: The main process used to pasteurize human milk is the low-temperature, long-time Holder method HOLDER and recently investigated, the high-temperature, short-time method. Both processes lead to an appropriated inactivation of vegetative forms but are ineffective versus the bacterial spores. Research aim is to find a method accomplish two main objectives, inactivation of all pathogens, including spores and preservation of the activity of milk components.
 
Method: Recently a novel approach of the high hydrostatic pressure processes has been developed by HPBioTECH. We compared the effect of human milk treatment on the same samples (raw human milk, holder and our novel high hydrostatic pressure) on vegetative and spores forms of pathogens and on bioactive components (lipase activity, immune proteins).
 
Result: Pathogens destructions, two main microbial strains have been selected: Staphylococcus aureus (as reference for the vegetative forms) and Bacillus cereus (as reference for spores). This research led process adapted to the microbial decontamination of 6 log, either for Staphylococcus aureus or Bacillus cereus; human milk bioactive components: The main components of human milk is preserved. Activity of the lipase after this treatment is close to 80% and that of several additional components (α-lactalbumin: 96-99%: Casein: 98-100%, Lysozyme: 95-100%; lactoferrin: 93-97% and sIgA: 63-64%).
 
Conclusion: This novel high hydrostatic process generates microbiologically safe human milk could potentially result in important benefits for preterm infants: (1) Improved assimilation of human milk, leading to daily weight and (2) improved resistance to infections (3) to avoid discarding 10% of contaminated by Bacillus Cereus human milk collected.

Abstract:

People who live in Iraq, not because of how they look or what they wear, but because of their strength and grace. In early 2017, the civilians of Mosul were suffering tremendously during an unforgiving war between the Iraqi Government Forces/ allied militias and ISIS. The team of selfless humanitarians who traveled overseas to care for trauma victims in Erbil and Mosul. It witnessed horrors beyond human comprehension. Soldiers were carried into medical facilities with gunshot wounds to their heads, terrorists presented as patients that could not be turned away and children, innocent children sat quiet and still on stretchers as we Nursed their broken bodies and bleeding souls. The previous work experience as an emergency room Nurse and hospital administrator provided the tools to apply in this difficult setting. From there, using critical thinking skills and clinical judgment to facilitate movement of patients in the pre-hospital setting and tapped into my management hat to interview, hire and manage staff in Iraq. Nursing is a powerful entity. When coupled with humanitarian aid, the possibilities are endless. Our planet is in need of more individuals who are willing to apply their valuable skills to work that defends those who cannot speak and act for themselves. It is the collective responsibility to shed light on the inhumane global conflicts that continue to occur today.

Abstract:

In the past, Nurses used to provide clinical care, even though no solid evidence supported this practice following basic logical assumptions. Usually, Health Care Providers (HCPs) including Nurses often follow outdated policies and procedures without questioning their current practices in terms of accuracy, safety, feasibility and applicability. The aim of this presentation is to provide an overview on the applications of translating evidence on patients’ clinical outcomes, safety, quality of care, leadership and management, education and health policy. Nurses are collaborating with other healthcare providers to develop new and innovative ways to translate evidence into practice to provide the best quality of care while maintaining the highest levels of safety standards. Nursing leaders need to build the infrastructure (policies, processes, resources, etc.) for transfer of knowledge into practice through empowering environment for Nurses. Education is primarily aims to move evidence from the generation phase through dissemination and into implementation, in order to address the unmet needs.

Hrønn Thorn

Regions Hospitalet Horsens, Denmark

Title: Effect of preoperative intervention on anxiety and pain in women undergoing hysterectomy

Time : 13:45-14:15

Speaker
Biography:

Hronn Thorn has completed her Master of Public Health from Aarhus University. She is currently working as a development Nurse at the department of gynecology and obstetrics at Regions Hospitalet Horsens in Denmark. She is a board member of the Danish Nursing Society Research Council and the Society of Gynecological and Obstetric Nurses.

Abstract:

Background & Aim: High level of preoperative anxiety is common among gynecological patients and may affect the need for opioids in the post-operative period. The study aims to evaluate the effect of individual preoperative information and dialogue on anxiety level and post-operative pain in women undergoing hysterectomy.
 
Method: A sample of 46 women scheduled for hysterectomy was randomly assigned to either the Study Group (SG) or the Control Group (CG). Two weeks before the surgery, the SGs were given individual information and dialogue at a preoperative consultation. The CGs received information as usual on the day of surgery. Anxiety level was assessed an hour before surgery
and six and 24 hours after surgery. The main outcome, postoperative pain, was assessed at six and 24 hours and four weeks after surgery.
 
Result: Baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable except for type of surgery and anesthetic technique. 40 participants were analyzed, 20 in each group. This study was not able to demonstrate any statistically significant difference in anxiety level or postoperative pain between the groups.
 
Conclusion: Preoperative individual information and dialogue did not result in significant effects in reducing anxiety level nor did it result in lower postoperative pain score. Implications for Practice: Patients with elevated anxiety level might benefit if Nurses are more aware of preoperative anxiety
level and act on high levels.

Karin Minnie

North-West University, South Africa

Title: Women's views and experiences of continuous support during childbirth: a meta-synthesis

Time : 14:15-14:45

Speaker
Biography:

Karin Minnie is the director of NuMIQ and professor with the School of Nursing Science at the North-West University in South Africa. She has supervised 26 postgraduate students and published 16 articles in peer reviewed journals and 6 chapters in academic books.

Abstract:

Despite the known benefits of continuous support during childbirth, the practice is still not routinely implemented in all maternity settings and women’s perspectives might not be considered. This study aimed to provide midwives and other healthcare professionals with summaries of best available research evidence on women’s views and experiences regarding continuous support during childbirth. The review question was, what were the views and experiences of women regarding continuous support during childbirth as reported in qualitative studies and in studies that adopted mixed research methods with a qualitative component that used semi-structured, in-depth or focus group interviews or case studies? A detailed search was done on electronic data bases, EBSCOhost: Medline, PsychINFO, SocINDEX, OAlster, Scopus, SciELO, Science Direct, PubMED and Google Scholar. The data bases were searched for available literature using a predetermined search strategy.
Reference lists of included studies were also searched. Predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied during the selection of eligible sources. In total, 12 studies were included in the data analysis and synthesis. Two categories were identified namely, the role and attributes of the support persons and challenging aspects regarding continuous support during childbirth. Women’s perspectives about continuous support during childbirth were influenced by culture, traditions and values, relationships with specific support persons as well as institutional practices, forms of supportive care received and the attributes of the support person. Continuous support during childbirth was valued by most women. Health care institutions should include continuous support during childbirth in their policies and guidelines and birth plans.

Sefika Yarar Foster

University of Akdeniz ,Turkey

Title: Women's views and experiences of continuous support during childbirth: a meta-synthesis

Time : 14:45-15:15

Speaker
Biography:

Sefika Yarar Foster has completed BSN at Dokuz Eylul University. She has worked in Dokuz Eylul University as a General Surgery and Transplant Nurse. She was into the clinical research and worked as a Site Coordinator and Clinical Research Nurse. She has experience in transplant nursing, clinical research and patient education. She is currently working in the Akdeniz Transplant Unit Education Department.

 

Abstract:

Post-transplant education has a direct effect on the patient’s new life. Because of this it bears a great influence on the success of the transplant. In fact many transplant centres give patient education but there is a lot of non-compliance with medication usage and follow-up care. The recipients of an organ transplant worry about using drugs, rejection, infection, complications, diet and their daily life etc. Experience has shown that we need new approach to education in this regard. The organ transplant department’s patient education program should be of an adequate length, tailored to the patients’ needs and be ongoing. Using new technologies and educational materials gives more self-confidence to the organ transplant recipients. Patient support after transplantation should aid the patient and their family in many ways, more active cooperation, life coaching and motivation. Our centre has completed 232 kidney transplants (202 living, 30 cadaveric), 48 liver transplants (33 living, 15 cadaveric) in 2017. Patients before discharge from the hospital were given a detailed education program such as the importance of drug use, infection control, diet, daily life, etc. During their follow-up visits after any medication changes, incorrect drug use, a changed prescription, pregnancy, diet or any other concerns they are given ongoing education and advice. The aim of the organ transplant coordination education department is to support the patients after their transplant and increase their quality of life in many ways.

 

Ahmed Abujaber

Title: Promoting research utilization among Nurses: Barriers, facilitators, and strategies

Time : 15:30-16:30

Speaker
Biography:

Ahmed Abujaber is a Registered Nurse in Qatar. He has completed his Bachelor degree in Nursing and a Degree in Business Administration. He has also completed PhD in Business Administration. He has experience in Emergency and Trauma settings in both Jordan and Qatar. He has special interest in Professional Trauma Education being a Regional Directror and Coordinator for the ATLS and ATCN programs. He is currently working as an Assistant Executive Director of Nursing at Hamad Medical Corporation. His research interest is in the applications of predictive big data analytics in healthcare specifically in chronic disease prevention.

Abstract:

Throughout the history, nursing profession played a distinct leadership role in improving care through the application of research findings in practice. Therefore, Research Utilization (RU) is considered a pillar in nursing practice. Some nursing scholars describe research utilization as the use of research findings in any and all aspects of one’s work as a registered Nurse. Others define research utilization as the use of research findings to support clinical decision-making. However, despite the plethora of studies that aim to explore the reseach utilization from various perspectives, still there is a significant ambiguity surrounds the process of transforming research knowledge into practice. This may explain why the time lag between the generation of evidence and putting it into clinical practice is 15-20 years as described by the Institute of Medicine report (2001)-Crossing the Quality Chasm. The workshop is to identify the perceived barriers and facilitators (system-related, Nurserelated, and research-related) to successful research utilization as well as to present up-to-date, evidence-based strategies to overcome the most commen barriers.

Title: Self care management for the patients with cancer

Time : 16:30-17:00

Speaker
Biography:

Gul Cankaya  is a surgical nurse at Marmara University Pendik Training Hospital in Istanbul. She has worked mostly in pediatric critical care unit, cardiovascular surgery operating room, general surgery operating room.  She has attended international certification for breast cancer nursing programme (MEHEM). She has completed her thesis on ‘’self care in breast cancer patients undergoing modified breast surgery’’.

 

Abstract:

Cancer is an important cause of mortality in all ages in population and is categorized as  a chronic disease that is treatable in many situations, especially when diagnosed earliar. World Health Organization declared that (WHO, 2009): “Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, and maintain health and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider”. Selfmanagement, however, outlines an interactive process where individual responses and behaviour focusing at managing physical and psychosocial consequences of symptoms and treatment. It has been reported that self care by patients diagnosed as cancer improves quality of life, symptom management, and patient satisfaction. Nurses are the members of treatment team against cancer. They  have an important role during diagnosis, treatment, and caring. The patients feel  better, physiologically and psychologically, when the symptoms  managed effectively. Main symptoms are Fatigue,  Eating problems,   Nausea,    Fever,   Respiratory problems,  Pain,   Numbness in fingers and/or toes ,  Bleeding,  Hair loss,  Skin changes,  Constipation, decreased  interest in sexual activity. We have to build up spesific self care programmes for each spesific cancer , because symptoms differ widely between them. Breast cancer and prostate cancer will need much different self care programmes not because of the systems involving but the gender , age group matters.
