Hospitalized Patients

Background: Virtual reality is recognized as a progressive technology with the potential to enhance the rehabilitation process. Immersive virtual reality-based treatments can improve motor outcomes in physical rehabilitation, reduce stress caused by the intensive care unit environment and maximize patients' recovery processes. Objective: To analyze the efficacy of rehabilitation using immersive virtual reality on patient satisfaction and experience, functional and clinical outcomes and the feasibility of its application during the hospitalization period in an intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This is a randomized controlled clinical trial involving ICU patients aged 18 years or older, with an estimated ICU stay of ≥ 72 hours, the ability to understand and follow verbal instructions and no diagnosis of psychotic disorders, visual impairment, or hearing loss. Patients will be divided into two groups: one undergoing traditional physiotherapy rehabilitation - control group (CG), and the other receiving physiotherapy using immersive virtual reality (IVR group). The following evaluations will be conducted: mobility condition, physical and psychological discomfort, estimated physical activity level, occurrence of delirium, cognitive decline screening, functionality classification, motivation level, patient experience, sense of immersion in the virtual reality environment, patient satisfaction during the rehabilitation process, occurrence of adverse events, and protocol feasibility. Data will be presented in graphs and tables. Results will be considered statistically significant at a 5% significance level (p ≤ 0.05), and all analyses will be performed using SPSS Statistics version 22. Expected results: The investigators expect to find evidence that rehabilitation using immersive virtual reality can promote and enable a more pleasant and less traumatic experience during the patient's hospitalization, with greater satisfaction and adherence to the proposed rehabilitation, in addition to being an effective tool to optimize patients' functional and clinical outcomes.

A research team from the University of Seville and Flinders University has created a new 41-item questionnaire to assess fundamental nursing care. This questionnaire focuses on three main areas: the nurse-patient relationship, addressing patients' basic care needs (physical, relational, and psychosocial), and the context of care. This tool helps nurses evaluate and track the quality of care they provide over time. The questionnaire is a self-administered, patient-reported tool. The questionnaire has been translated into English and adapted for use in Australia, but not yet in Danish. Senior Researcher Maria Kjøller Pedersen from Copenhagen University Hospital, North Zealand is leading the effort to translate and adapt it for Denmark in collaboration with University College Copenhagen. The goal of this study is to translate, adapt, and validate the questionnaire for use in the Danish healthcare system.

Short PIVC (intravenous indentation needle) accounts for more than 50% of clinical infusion tools, but long PIVC is rarely used and studied in China. This study aims to explore the application characteristics and application effects of long PIVC in China. It provides reference for the correct selection of infusion tools, and promotes the clinical application and promotion of new intravenous therapy tools. The study nurse will work with the responsible physician to assess the eligibility for enrollment and sign the informed consent. Were randomly assigned to the control group (to receive a new 24G/22G (0.7mm\*19mm/0.9mm\*25mm) short PIVC (closed needle protected venous catheter system) puncture) or the intervention group (to insert a new 3F (8cm) or 4F(10cm) long PIVC) for daily routine maintenance until catheter removal, General demographic data, laboratory-related data, catheter-related data, catheter-related complications (unplanned extubation, phlebitis, catheter blockage, catheter-related thrombosis, catheter-related bloodstream infection, exudation, etc.) and patient satisfaction were collected.
