Background: Poorly managed postoperative pain is linked to numerous postoperative complications worldwide and in Ghana. This is due to the myriad of physical and psychological problems, such as lifelong chronic pain syndromes, impaired functionality and death. Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the barriers and factors influencing postoperative pain management by Ghanaian nurses working in four hospitals. Methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was employed for this study. Participants were recruited using a multistage sampling technique by which 146 returned their questionnaires out of 194 participants. The statistical analysis of data was done with the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 version. Results: Findings revealed that some verbal and non-verbal cues from patients such as facial grimacing, restlessness, irritability and distress, lack of concentration and moaning or crying (verbalisation) influenced how nurses controlled postoperative pain with analgesia. The participants also identified several barriers to influence postoperative pain management by nurses. Conclusion: In conclusion, postoperative pain control by nurses is influenced by several factors, and hence, nurses need to manage patients’ pain effectively in Ghana and abroad using multiple approaches.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore factors influencing on the preventive behaviors of dementia in older Koreans enrolled in senior welfare centers to provide basic information on dementia prevention.Methods: A total of 182 older Koreans participated in this study, which employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using questionnaires with items related to general characteristics, depression, self-esteem, knowledge and attitudes about dementia, preventive behaviors of dementia, dementia management self-efficacy, and anxiety about dementia. Using SPSS WIN 23.0, data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.Results: Living with a spouse (<i>p</i>=.013), a higher monthly income (<i>p</i>=.018), better nutrition (<i>p</i>=.010), not having a sleep disorder (<i>p</i><.001), and higher number of participating programs (<i>p</i>=.001) were associated with better dementia prevention behaviors. Attitudes about dementia (<i>β</i>=.18, <i>p</i>=.006) and the number of programs older Koreans were participating in (<i>β</i>=.17, <i>p</i>=.006) influenced positively on the preventive behaviors of dementia, while depression (<i>β</i>=-.41, <i>p</i><.001) and sleep disorders (<i>β</i>=-.17, <i>p</i>=.006) influenced negatively on dementia preventive behaviors. Overall, approximately 35% of the variability in dementia preventive behaviors was explained by these four variables in this study (F=24.97, <i>p</i><.001).Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that depression reduction, good attitudes about dementia, program participation, and good sleep should be encouraged to promote dementia prevention. In addition, effective and structured educational programs should be developed for older Koreans to encourage dementia preventive behaviors to reduce the risk of dementia.

Background: Diaper dermatitis (DD) is a highly common condition among neonates, infants, and toddlers. The current study aims to explore the factors influencing DD among children aged between 0-24 months in Jordan. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design with a convenient sample of 140 children diagnosed with DD. Structured face-to face interviews were used to collect data from the parents of the children included in the study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between diaper dermatitis and its related medical factors. Results: The prevalence of DD was found to be 98.6% among the participants. The median of the duration of the most recent DD episode in days was 3 days (Inter Quartile Range= 2 to 4 days). The factors influencing DD were the use of barrier cream (OR=.35, 95% CI = .18-.72, p=.004), and bathing frequency of ≤ 1 time per week (OR=1.15, 95% CI = .65-2.10, p=.002). Conclusion: The identified factors should be paid significant attention in order to reduce the prevalence of DD among children aged 24 months or under. Prevention-focused programs which encourage the frequent application of appropriate barrier creams and frequent bathing of more than once a week are needed.
