Abstract: Background: Insufficient experience and practical knowledge makes challenges in addressing health-care practice-related issues. Being a professional nurse after completing your nursing studies is a challenging time. Most frequently, the quantity of patients with severe illnesses and co-morbidities, the lack of mentorship, performance anxiety, communication issues, and the blame/complaint culture are blamed for the difficulties faced by inexperienced nurses. The study aimed to identify the challenges and the associated factors which limit the knowledge acquisition of new nurse graduates in Oman. Methodology: Using a cross-sectional study design, 104 people were selected as a sample from Ibri Hospital. We have adopted convenience and snowball sampling methods to reach out to the participants. The data was collected between June, 2022, to September, 2022. Data from nurses was gathered by a primary survey approach utilizing a closed-ended questionnaire. The statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS (Statistical Tool for Social Sciences) version 20.0. Results: Nursing professionals face a number of obstacles, including role expectations, lack of confidence, workload, fear, and orientation concerns. In addition, variables including the physical environment, responsibility, support, and professional development contribute to their dissatisfaction. It is rare for newly graduated nurses to be assigned to cases where they lack the confidence to handle clinical cases. The study also found positive relationship between preceptor support and leadership/communication, organizing and prioritizing, professional satisfaction, and work satisfaction. Conclusion: The study came to the conclusion that the main problem facing nurses in the healthcare setting is transition. During their transitional time, newly graduated nurses face a variety of obstacles related to job expectations, confidence, workload, orientation, and concerns. To overcome these obstacles, nursing administrators and preceptors must come up with and apply important solutions. As a result, the current study suggests that transitional support initiatives are helpful in assisting recently graduated nurses. Also, hospital orientation programs are necessary to adapt to the changing demands of new nurses in a constantly evolving healthcare setting.

Abstract: Objective To investigate This study aims to examine the disease adaptation ability capabilities of hepatolenticular degeneration patients during their treatment treatment, and explore to identify the factors influencing these affecting their adaptation ability. abilities. Methods A total of 210 hepatolenticular degeneration patients in treatment were selected by convenience sampling method, method and was employed to select 210 patients undergoing treatment for hepatolenticular degeneration. The investigation utilized a general information questionnaire, the Disease Acceptance Scale AIS-CHI questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the Simple Roy Coping with Adaptation Scale Scale. were used for investigation. Results The results of multiple Multiple linear regression analysis showed revealed that factors such as place of residence, education level, occupation, medical payment mode, and average monthly income of family members significantly influenced were the main factors affecting the disease adaptation ability capabilities of these patients. In conclusion, patients withpatients. In conclusion, patients with hepatolenticular degeneration exhibit suboptimal patients.

Abstract: Objective To construct a training curriculum system for venous thromboembolism (VTE) liaison nurses and provide a basis for corresponding clinical training, evaluation and certification. Methods Analyzed the training needs of VTE liaison nurses. Conducted two rounds of Delphi surveys with 27 experts from Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces in China. Determined the weights of indicators at all levels using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and equal weighting method. Results The age of the participants ranged from 38~59 (46.63±5.343), and the years of working ranged from 12~42 (25.48±7.439). 27 and 26 valid questionnaires were collected respectively from the first and second rounds of the surveys. The effective response rates of the two-round Delphi survey were 90.0% and 96.3%, respectively, and the experts’ authoritative coefficients were 0.884 and 0.906, respectively, and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance of experts’ opinions were 0.261 and 0.276, respectively (P <0.01). A training system with 5 first-level indicators and 26 second-level indicators was finally formed after two rounds of Delphi surveys. Conclusions The training system for VTE liaison nurses constructed in this study is highly scientific and practical, which can provide a basis for the training assessment and ability evaluation of VTE liaison nurses, and also provide a reference for VTE prophylaxis, treatment and nursing.
