Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

The Availability Heuristic

The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Digital Health
Family Medicine

Background:

Spaced education benefits are established in specialized fields.
Limited research exists on spaced education in family medicine residency.
This study explores mobile app alerts for clinical information engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of using a mobile app with weekly alerts.
To increase clinical information reading among family medicine residents.
To evaluate the impact of spaced education via mobile alerts.

Main Methods:

A 2-phase mixed methods study design.
Phase one: Quasi-experimental study of resident reading habits.
Utilized a noncommercial mobile app for tracking page views.

Main Results:

Intervention group (weekly alerts) viewed significantly more pages (1,546 vs. 900).
Intervention group showed higher per-topic page views (15.7 vs. 9.1).
Each app visit after an alert correlated with 3.2 additional page views.

Conclusions:

Weekly mobile app alerts are a promising method.
This approach can enhance clinical information reading in family medicine residency.
Spaced education via mobile technology warrants further investigation.
