Pulse Oximetry01:24

Pulse Oximetry

Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
Purpose
Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

Mpox knowledge among Chinese nurses is insufficient, with only 21.57% demonstrating adequate understanding. Targeted education is crucial to improve nurse preparedness for this public health threat.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Nursing Education

Background:

  • Mpox represents a significant public health concern in China.
  • Nurses play a vital role in managing mpox patients, but their knowledge levels are not well understood.
  • Assessing mpox awareness and knowledge among Chinese nurses is essential for effective public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the awareness of mpox among nurses in China.
  • To evaluate the level of mpox-related knowledge in this population.
  • To identify factors associated with adequate mpox knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • An online cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire.
  • Data collected included demographics, clinical specialties, and institutional characteristics.

  • Mpox knowledge was assessed across etiology, clinical manifestations, transmission, and prevention, with logistic regression identifying influencing factors.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 2,023 valid questionnaires were analyzed from nurses across 19 provinces.
    • Only 21.57% (381/1766) of nurses who had heard of mpox possessed good knowledge.
    • Higher correct response rates were observed for clinical characteristics (68.47%) and transmission/prevention (66.38%) compared to etiology (52.71%).

    Conclusions:

    • Mpox knowledge among Chinese nurses is generally inadequate, necessitating urgent interventions.
    • Key factors associated with good knowledge include older age, higher education, employment in district/county hospitals, traditional media use, and prior mpox training.
    • Targeted educational programs are recommended for younger nurses, those in higher-level hospitals, and frontline staff to enhance preparedness for emerging infectious diseases.
