In recent years, delivery riders have been deeply involved in people's daily lives. The writing about food delivery riders is increasing day by day and has repeatedly attracted widespread attention from society. The writing around food delivery riders presents their real-life experiences, showcasing their specific ways of working and their struggles and traumas. On the other hand, it also subtly showcases the dissemination effect of non fiction writing. Through experiential feelings and participation, writers not only acquire materials for speech and creation, but also have opportunities for self reflection. The participation and narration of the group of selling riders to the public is an effective practice for writers to rebuild their connection with real life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Mountaineering courses are exceptionally physically demanding outdoor activities, and wilderness solitude is a challenge that tests both the mind and body. Participants who choose this course should be guided by robust internal motivation and value recognition. We integrated the experience of wilderness solitude into our courses and used the Means-End Chain theory to explore changes in the experiential value of course participants. Methods: This study involved 26 students who took the mountain activities and environmental exploration course. They underwent three days and two nights of field practice and 12 hours of wilderness solitary experience without computers, communication, and consumer electronics products and equipment. In-depth semi-structured ladder interviews were conducted before and after the course. Encoded data was used to construct an implication matrix and a hierarchical value map for further analysis and discussion. Results: (1) The common values recognized throughout the course were self-realization, self-growth, physical and mental health, social support, and environmental ethics. (2) The wilderness solitude experience helped participants with self-reflection and personal growth, and the reflection process helped to change their thinking patterns, leading to a positive attitude towards life. (3) The wilderness solitude experience triggered a more profound sense of environmental ethics, strengthened attitudes and behaviors towards the environment, and positively impacted environmental protection. Conclusion: Experiencing solitude in the wilderness enhanced personal growth, expanded social relationships, and strengthened environmental awareness for participants in mountain activity courses. The value context of participation motivation can be explored through the Means-End Chain theory. This study's results can provide a reference for outdoor curriculum design and promotion marketing.

The concept of future-oriented education advocates experiential learning in the real context, thus cultivating students' ability to explore, interact and create. The school campus is not only a functional space for teaching and learning, but also an important place for students to gain perceptions and experiences. The nature, buildings, and other elements of the campus environment have great potential to become living teaching materials, as they contain rich information about the principles of the physical environment and local context. This study takes the campus as a physical medium for environmental education, through a typological analysis of the relationship between environmental consideration, campus space, and learning behavior in the cases of school campus design in South China, to examine the diversity of environmental components, the complexity of environmental care content, and the interactivity of environmental learning behaviors. It reveals the educational value of campus environment and proposes a design perspective that integrates spatial design with curriculum design, by incorporating environmental knowledge network into campus design.

Purpose Nurses must stay close to couples if a baby is stillborn, share their thoughts, provide nursing care for stillbirths, and provide continuous nursing care to grieving parents. The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype grief care tool through which nurses can record their experiences related to the events. It will help them clarify their feelings when dealing with couples experiencing a stillbirth and providing nursing care from pregnancy to the post-partum period. Methods This is a qualitative descriptive study. The participants were 13 nurses (midwives/nurses) who dealt with natural or induced stillbirths after 12 weeks of pregnancy. A prototype grief care tool provided the most unusual cases of stillbirth nursing, and data were obtained through semi-structured interviews about nurses' feelings when dealing with stillbirths. The obtained data were analyzed qualitatively and inductively. Results Nurses' feelings about stillbirth were collated into four categories. "Sense of mission toward stillbirth nursing" was about sincerity and the sense of responsibility as a caregiver toward couples who had experienced stillbirth. In contrast, "difficulties caring for a couple with a stillborn child" dealt with difficulties in understanding and talking about the couple's feelings and anxieties about the stillbirth. Further, "inquiring minds about stillbirth nursing" was about looking back at the nursing provided, searching for better stillbirth nursing for couples, and wanting to learn more about stillbirth nursing. "Expectations for team medical care" was about being involved with couples as a team and supporting each other. Conclusion Midwives and nurses involved in stillbirths felt both a sense of mission in stillbirth nursing and a sense of difficulty in dealing with the parents. In addition, they looked back on their experiences in stillbirth nursing and searched for better stillbirth nursing methods. The findings suggested that using the grief care tool prototyped in this study to record the nursing experience of stillbirth will help nurses to recollect their thoughts on the couple and the stillborn at each stage of nursing. It would provide an opportunity to reflect on the nursing provided and feelings experienced, leading to an inquiry into stillbirth nursing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article applied a family strengths-oriented therapeutic conversations approach to explore the advanced practice nursing experience of a female adolescent with Leigh Syndrome and her family. During the nursing care period from September 20 to November 19, 2022, the author collected data through direct care, observation, interview, telecare, home visits, and medical record reviews and confirmed the nursing problems to be the inadequate coping capability of the family. The author leveraged her advanced nurse practitioner role and used family strength-oriented therapeutic conversations to enable the parents of the patient to reflect on their experiences with this disease and to improve their quality of life and satisfaction with healthcare services. Three modes of care, including accessibility, coordination, and comprehensiveness, were offered to the female adolescent patient and her family to achieve the goal of family-centered, community-based, and medical-system-centered care. It is suggested that before making healthcare decisions, patients and their families should be given the opportunity to participate in the healthcare process and reach consensus on healthcare decisions based on existing evidence and their values and preferences. The medical decisions made by patients and their families after carefully considering their current situation and needs should be supported and assisted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the outpatient nursing experience of a female athlete who underwent foot and ankle ligament reconstruction surgery. During the seven follow-up visits from May 21 to July 16, 2020, Gordon's Function Health Patterns and Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5) were used to assess and collect data through actual care, observations, interviews, and medical record reviews. It identified the main health problems as: uncertainty and anxiety, risk for falls and risk for infections. During the care process, the author established a good therapeutic interpersonal relationship and communication skill; guided the case to explain the reasons for anxiety and provided care measures to reduce uncertainty and anxiety; taught rehabilitation principles and the use of assistive devices to prevent falls; and used nursing skills to reduce potential wound infections. This sharing of care experience will serve as a reference for similar cases in future outpatient care. (Tzu Chi Nursing Journal, 2023; 22:4, 115-124) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the nursing experience of a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 and who suffered from death anxiety. The nursing period was from June 4 to 24, 2021. Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns were used to assess the patient's health status. The nursing care problems included impaired gas exchange, activity intolerance, anxiety, and impaired home maintenance. Care included the application of awake prone position to improve the oxygenation in the case during the nursing period. In terms of psychological status, anxiety symptoms were caused because the case worried about his illness and labeling, insufficient financial resources and family system support, and facing financial difficulties after discharging from hospital. To address these issues, the author actively contacted the patients family members so that his family members could restore a strong family bond with him, and consult with social workers to find social resources. It is also recommended that isolated cases can wear a smart sports bracelet which will keep uploading data and information. Thus, medical staff can reduce the exposure to high-risk environments and can also monitor the changes of vital signs of the case at any time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influences of teamwork and job burnout on patient safety management activities (PSMA) among operating room nurses. Methods: We collected cross-sectional data from 144 operating room nurses with at least 1 year of clinical experience. Teamwork had five subscales (team structure, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, and communication) and burnout had two subscales (exhaustion and disengagement). We used descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. Results: PSMA had significant positive correlations with all subscales of teamwork and had a significant negative correlation with disengagement. Multiple regression analysis revealed that gender, clinical career in operating room, number of patient safety education, accreditation evaluation experience, team structure, and situation monitoring were associated with PSMA. Specifically, we found significant positive associations of team structure (β=.31, p<.001) and situation monitoring (β=.23, p=.039) with PSMA. Disengagement was not associated with PSMA after adjusting for confounders despite a significant correlation. Conclusion: To improve operating room nurses' PSMA, it is important to improve their awareness of the team structure and their ability to monitor the operating room situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Infectious diseases are often stigmatized and criminalized because of the way they are transmitted. An experience providing care to a 37-year-old patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who was admitted to a medical center's quarantine ward in July 2021 due to SARS-CoV-2 infection is described in this article. This patient lived with his mother, who was later diagnosed with COVID-19 as well. He was worried about his mother's health condition and, meanwhile, feared that information about his diseases and person would be exposed by the media. These stressors led to increased feelings of shame and anxiety and to situational low self-esteem. Several interventions were provided, including education regarding the importance of personal hygiene and of maintaining combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to bolster immune system functions. During the isolation period, the nurses most regularly interacted with the patient directly. Thus, we worked to build the nurse-patient relationship by listening to the patient's worries, guaranteeing his privacy would not be compromised, and guiding him to express his emotions to reduce anxiety and enhance confidence. This experience demonstrated the importance of providing psychological care to COVID-19/HIV coinfected patients. We suggest that the government and media distribute correct and neutral information to destigmatize communicable diseases and to foster a friendlier healthcare environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In aging societies, residents of residential long-term care facilities (RLTCF) are a population that can significantly influence the success of efforts to promote hospice care and to achieve societal goals of domestic aging in place and good death. Multidisciplinary healthcare providers in RLTCF play vital roles in assessing, coordinating, and implementing the "five whole concepts" of hospice care. Purpose: To explore multidisciplinary healthcare providers' experiences with implementing hospice care in RLTCF. Study results may be referenced for future research into hospice care in RLTCF. Methods: In this qualitative study, one-on-one interviews were conducted with 14 multidisciplinary healthcare providers working for three hospital-affiliated RLTCFs in Northern Taiwan from April to July 2019. Each interview lasted between 40 and 68 minutes. Data were transcribed and then analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results: The emergent themes derived from participant experiences were "lack of hospice care literacy and multidisciplinary communication", "insufficient resources for hospice care implementation", "a dilemma between reasonability and sensibility", "quandary about and bearing from facing family dying", and "expectation of mental and physical well-being for family and residents". Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The experiences of the participants illuminate the importance of strengthening hospice care training for multidisciplinary RLTCF healthcare providers; establishing standard operating procedures; and increasing the manpower, environmental, and equipment resources available for implementing hospice care in RLTCF.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of nurses who applied Swanson's Caring Theory to assist coping in a family of an infant with CHARGE Syndrome. The patient was born with multiple organ hypoplasia and was diagnosed using genetic testing with CHARGE syndrome. The shock and sadness, coupled with returning home for care and the long and endless journey of rehabilitation, were the most significant challenges and pressures for the parents when taking care of the patient. The author used interviews, texting apps, and observations to collect data, and completed the recording process between September 21st and December 3rd, 2020. Based on the data, the primary nursing problem was caregiver role strain. The process of nursing was summarized as (1) the impact stage, when the family first faces the child's diagnosis of a rare disease; (2) the transition stage from the hospital to the home in the care situation; and (3) the re-impact stage when the child experiences developmental delays. Swanson's Caring Theory was applied in this study to guide nursing care. The five caring processes outlined in Swanson's Caring Theory include knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief. The authors used these caring processes at every stage to provide an individualized caring plan that included attentively listening to parents' ideas, encouraging parents to express personal perceptions, providing strategies to enhance parents' caring skills, and establishing positive beliefs to improve confidence. Nursing personnel may apply Swanson's Caring Theory to assist families of children with rare diseases to not only gain positive beliefs in a grieving situation but also achieve a rewarding life.

This article discussed the nursing care experience of a patient with terminal rectal cancer in the intensive care unit(ICU). From July 30th, 2018 to August 8th, 2018, we assessed the patient by Gordon's 11 Items Health Function and determined if the patient had an ineffective breathing pattern, hopelessness, and anticipatory grief of the caregiver. We provided appropriate care plans and interventions to meet the physical and mental needs of the patient and cared about the feelings of the caregiver. A consensus was made to let the patient pass away peacefully in the intensive care unit to reduce the caregiver's stress and to optimize the patient's end-of-life experience. Despite the critical care nature of ICU, hospice care could still be implemented successfully outside of hospice wards. We provided a sound supportive environment for the patient and his family in ICU, which was achieved through multidisciplinary teamwork. The author would like to share this nursing experience as a reference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At present, China implements an extensive agricultural space management mode based on quantity control. Although it has the necessity and feasibility in national level, the eastern developed areas have encountered great implementation resistance, resulting in the dilemma of dual low efficiency of quantity protection and production capacity. There is still a huge gap between the current management mode and practical demands of the eastern developed regions. Therefore, it is urgent to put forward the agricultural space optimization strategy for high-quality development. To this end, this study defined the basic concept of the agricultural space, and pointed out that agricultural space was a physical entity composed of most agricultural production space and a small amount of farmers' living space, and also an organic whole with certain structure and function formed by interrelated and interacting elements. Furthermore, this study concluded that agricultural space had three connotations: social foundation, human nature need and functional diversity. Through investigating current research of agricultural space optimization, the problems of current research were pointed out and they included: 1) insufficient coordination of agricultural space, meaning that ignoring other types of agricultural land other than arable land and ignoring the production factors flow, structure adjustment and function reflection; 2) insufficient understanding of demand transformation, meaning that healthy, green and experiential agricultural consumption had become a new trend; 3) insufficient attention to market mechanism, meaning that reliance on administrative means and lack of analysis of market patterns led to reduced production efficiency. Then, the basic principles of agricultural space optimization were put forward in order to meet the requirements of high quality development. Safety, including grain security, food security and ecology security was taken as the bottom line. Efficiency, mainly refers to the matching of demand and supply, was taken as the center. Quality, meaning the better agricultural products and service, was taken as the breakthrough. Based on these, the basic strategies of agricultural spatial layout optimization in the developed eastern coastal areas were proposed: the supply side coordinated agricultural space resources, including arable land, garden plots, farms and other types of agriculture space, the demand side analyzed agricultural demand changes, including diverse, customized and experienced needs. Then, supply and demand sides were connected through the market mechanism. According to the use of agricultural space, it was divided into the following three categories: 1) supporting agricultural space, with grain production as the main function; 2) promoting agricultural space, with non-grain agricultural products as main function, such as vegetables and fruits, meat, poultry and others; 3) integrating agricultural space, with agricultural leisure as the main function. For different type, different fine management measures were established and different optimization paths to meet the safety, efficiency, quality requirements were carried out. For example, in the supporting agricultural space, we should ensure grain supply and promote farming scale. In the promoting agricultural space, we should provide food diversity and facilitate agricultural clusters. In the integrating agricultural space, we should maintain ecological stability and facilitate agricultural specialization. In the eastern developed areas, the optimization of agricultural space layout must abandon the previous single perspective of quantitative protection. This study emphasized the overall value and comprehensive multifunction of agricultural space to serve the growing needs of urban and rural residents for better agriculture, which has a certain theoretical innovation significance and is expected to be tested and popularized in future practice.

OBJECTIVE: To probe into the application effects of experiential education of complication in improving medication literacy, medication adherence and medication compliance in patients with atrial fibrillation. METHODS: Simple random sampling method was used to select 90 patients with atrial fibrillation admitted into the cardiovascular department of Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from Jan. to May 2020 as study subjects, and all patients were randomly divided into observation group (45 cases)and control group (45 cases). The control group was given routine health education for patients with atrial fibrillation during hospitalization, while the observation group were given experiential health education of complication based on the control group. Scores of medication literacy scale and Morisky medication adherence scale, and medication compliance rates at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge were assessed and compared between two groups before and after the intervention. RESULTS: There were no statistical significance in differences in scores of medication literacy scale and Morisky medication adherence scale between two groups before intervention (P > 0. 05); after intervention (at discharge), the scores of medication literacy scale and Morisky medication adherence scale of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group, and the medication adherence rates at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge were significantly higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with conventional health education, the experiential health education of complications can effectively improve the medication literacy and medication adherence of patients with atrial fibrillation, regulate patients’ poor medicine-taking behavior, and improve their medication compliance rate.

This article described the emergency care experience of a patient with AIDS combined with Kaposi's sarcoma wound infection. The nursing period lasted from 09:10 on March 16, to 15:00 on March 18, 2018. Data were collected by direct nursing care, observation, interviews, and physical assessment. The author utilized medical records and Gordon's 11 functional health patterns for a comprehensive assessment which confirmed high priority problems including acute pain discomfort, existing wound infections, and hopelessness. For wound infection we implemented infection control principles for changing wound dressing to avoid secondary infections and taught the patient pain relief techniques. During the nursing period we establish a good relationship with the patient, and the author encouraged the patient to express his feeling and established his family support system. To reduce the patient's hopeless of disease and enhance patient's self-confidence, the health professional team discussed the treatment planning with the AIDS case manager. Ultimately, the patient was successfully discharge and recovered gradually. This nursing experience may be a helpful clinical reference for nurses to provide emergency care in the future.

This study describes the nursing experience of the first peritoneal dialysis for an adolescent girl with end-stage renal disease that resulted from lupus nephritis. Roy's adaptation model was adapted for data collection during the nursing period between March 25 and April 11, 2017. The results identified issues including excess fluid volume, disturbed body image, and caregiver role strain. Appropriate nursing intervention and instruction were implemented to help the patient accept then receipt of peritoneal dialysis as part of daily life, face her disease and future therapeutic course positively by using a list of items for peritoneal dialysis, and make notes with patients and their families. Such nursing experience may provide a future reference for clinical nurses in caring for patients with peritoneal dialysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
