Abstract:
In the past, nurses used to provide clinical care, even though no substantial 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 Usually, Health Care Providers (HCPs) including nurses often follow outdated policies and procedures without questioning their current practices in terms of accuracy, safety, feasibility and applicability. This presentation aims to provide an overview of the applications of translating evidence on leadership and management. 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. Nursing leaders/managers face increasing demands to provide expertise in implementing evidence-based nursing care to meet the healthcare needs of diverse patient populations.

Abstract:
Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays or particles to kill cancer cells. The radiation oncology treatment team is made up of many different healthcare professionals. The amount of radiation and the number of treatments needed are different for each patient. Early side effects from radiation therapy can be treated and usually heal a few weeks after your treatment ends. Fatigue, loss of appetite and skin irritation is examples of acute side effects. These early effects in brain are alopecia and scalp erythema, ear and external auditory canal, cerebral oedema, nausea and vomiting, somnolence syndrome. Eye: conjunctival oedema and tearing. Head and neck: oral mucositis, oral candidiasis, oral herpes, xerostomia, esophagitis and pharyngitis, taste changes, laryngitis, dental caries. Breast: skin reactions, esophagitis. Chest and lungs: esophagitis and pharyngitis, taste changes, pneumonitis. Abdomen and pelvis: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea proctitis, cystitis, vaginal dryness. Late side effects may take months or years to develop and can be permanent. Pretreatment anxiety is one of the most common problems in patients undergoing radiotherapy. Patient education is a dynamic process of medicine, with regards to patient care, compliance and comprehension of health information. Improving patients’ understanding of treatment enhances their compliance to treatment. In addition, adequate knowledge and understanding of radiation treatment is critical for effective patient participation in decision-making. A patient-centered approach to care is a key part of quality healthcare by many organizations including the WHO and national health ministries.

Title: Emerging podiatry nurses in the Middle East
Time : 14:30-15:00
Biography:
Katrina Anica Cachuela-Acido has completed her Masters in Nursing from Philippine Women’s University. She is a Nurse Educator for 7 years is currently in Ambulatory Care Center Podiatry Service, Hamad Medical Corporation.
Abstract:
An advanced nursing profession is considered as a specialized skill and treatment in Nursing Foot Care. The Podiatry Nurse provides treatment to high-risk clients including the geriatric population, those with arthritis, autoimmune disease and diabetes. Many advanced foot care nurses fill the gap where a podiatrist may not be able to, the foot care nurse role is holistic in her assessment and treatment while utilizing best practice in foot care, infection control and assessment in the provision of safe care. The foot care nurse understands the importance of assessing the high-risk client diagnosed with diabetes and is practice using best practice in diabetic foot care assessment. Diabetes is not just a problem of Qatar it is a global epidemic impacting globally and currently over 415 million people around the world suffer from diabetes and unfortunately this number will be increasing, and it is predicted that in 2040 this number will be 642 million. In particular, the Middle East and North Africa is impacted very heavily with 35 million and is predicted that it will be doubled by 2040. Amputation is the 3rd most important complications associated with diabetes superior than kidney failure and after heart attack and stroke. One of the key features of podiatry nurses is to provide diabetic foot screen assessment, identify client at high risk for amputations as a result of diabetes. Also, they recognize that adequate timely foot care can help reduce the serious complications that often arise in clients with diabetes and how the high-risk client mobility can be enhanced through treatment of overgrown and ingrown nails that cause debilitating pain over time. And in Qatar, we are the only service provider of this kind, thus nationalities from other gulf regions are coming over to seek treatment with us. The role of nurses in the delivery of healthcare services is essential as they are involved throughout all the stages of our patients care and spend more time with patients other than any other member of the healthcare team.

Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of patient’s transportation inside the operating theatre and nurse’s role during transportation and according to healthcare workers experiences bring forward proposals.
Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive research. The research was performed at Cakmak Erdem Private Hospital between 01/04/2016-30/04/2016. During research time all patients being operated at this operating theatre were chosen as population without sampling. In the operating theatre there are 3 operating rooms, the researcher collected the data observing the transportation process according to established forms. Statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS 20.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA).
Result: Patients age varies between 0-89 years. The median is 41±25 years. 46 different operations were performed. Almost all safety standards were performed, excluding introducing itself (0.0-4.6%) and patient handover (5.9-34.9%). Patients were left alone at a rate of 17.2-35.5%. Healthcare workers complain of personnel shortage (24.0%) and are worried about patients’ transportation (60.0%).
Conclusion: Evaluating transportation of patients according to adverse events and application of safety standards rates is performed in a safety way but nurses don’t play an active role in it.

Title: Evaluation of the social perception for the use of artificial intelligence applications in the field of health: A qualitative study
Time : 16:15-16:45
Biography:
Hamiyet KIZIL, MSc, RN, is teaching assistant at the Nursing Department, Beykent University School of Health Sciences, Beykent University Beylikdüzü Campus, Büyükcekmece, Istanbul, Turkey. She obtained her bachelor's degree in nursing in 2009 and master's degree in fundamental of nursing in 2015 from Istanbul University Florence Nightingale Nursing Faculty and Doctor of Philosophy degree in fundamental of Nursing in 2017 from the University of Health Sciences Nursing Faculty. Research topics that are of interest to her are fundamental of Nursing, Intensive Care Nursing, Evidence-Based Nursing, and Health Information Systems.
Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the social perception for the use of artificial intelligence applications in the field of health.
Method: In this study, which focuses on the social perception for the use of artificial intelligence applications in the field of health, qualitative semi-structured interview design was used. The study was conducted between January and February 2019 with few individuals, who were living in cities in different regions of Turkey, applied for a health institution to get service and volunteered to participate in the study. As the data collection tool, a semi-structured interview form consisting of some questions was used. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews and recorded. Audio recordings received during the interview were transcribed into text. The audio recording outputs that were transcribed were analyzed by using the content analysis which is one of the qualitative data analysis methods.
Result: When the answers to what is known about artificial intelligence in the analyzed research data are examined, it was found that the theme of transferring human intelligence to robots was highly prominent and that using machines with artificial intelligence in health services was mostly seen as advantageous. As the advantages of artificial intelligence, the themes such as decrease in the margin of error, performing robotic surgeries, increase in the processing speed and decrease in the work load were determined. It was found that more than half of the participants showed positive attitudes towards including artificial intelligence applications in health services. When the views towards the idea of accepting getting health care services from an artificial intelligence as a physician or nurse were examined, it was seen that some views became prominent. According to these views, nursing services can be provided with artificial intelligence technology under the control of a nurse, but medical applications requiring a physician cannot be performed and artificial intelligence cannot replace a human since it cannot develop empathy.
Conclusion: The study findings showed that the participants mostly exhibited positive attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence in the field of health, but they were worried that artificial intelligence was a replacement for a physician or nurse.
Svetlana Nela
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, United Kingdom
Title: Simulation based resuscitation training as an alternative to 4 stage approach; Combining skills and human factor in one session
Time : 16:45-17:15
Biography:
Svetlana Nela has been inolved in Emergency nursing, Resusciation and Simlations for 18 years. She has been a regular speaker on international conferences including INCA congreass Tirana 2017 and 2018 (Member of scintific commitee for IMCA 2019), MAK in Ukraine 2018, ERC congress 2018, BUS 2016 and 2017 in Kiev. Her reseach interest includes innovation, patients safety, simulation and AI in healthcare
Abstract:
Aim: The four stage approach has been the traditional method used to train healthcare staff in resuscitation skills and has been implemented worldwide, as a standard model. However, some evidence suggests this teaching method does not demonstrate better improvements when compared with other methods. The exiting Crew Recourses Management (CRM) training in contrast does not focus on failure or correction to perform clinical skills and only focus on team dynamics and behavior. The author felt there is a need to develop an alternative teaching structure where participants have an opportunity to master both-technical and non-technical skills based on participates exiting knowledge and skills in CPR in context of changing environment in resuscitation event.
Method: A new curriculum was developed- SimCAD (Simulated CPR and Defibrillation) course. Duration 3 hrs. Ratio intructor to candidate 1:6.
The structure:
1.Baseline simulation-2 min sim where the team manages a collapsed patient without instructor comments.
2.In depth de-brief discussing key arrayed issues and skills gap correction encouraging students to teach each other with instructor guidance.
3.Series of simulation scenarios with de-brief, using clear role allocation and leadership to build up individual resuscitation skills and improve team dynamics.
4.Final simulation with de-brief and reflection on improvement technical and none technical skills.
5.Post course, we recocmend a daily emergency briefing and role allocation to enable efficient skill distribution so the individual and team can adapt to daily variables.
Trial: The initial trial was carried out in Acute Trust with 5000 clinical staff and 986 acute beds. 134 clinical staff were given post courses questioners.
Result: Evaluation demonstrates that 100% of the candidate agreed or strongly agreed that this structure improves candidate confidence and helped to reflect on common issues which may arise during resuscitation.
