Implementation of an Evidence-Based Prenotification Process for Patients With Stroke to Improve Neurological Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy can improve clinical outcomes in eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but its efficacy is time dependent. This quality improvement project aimed to examine whether a revised evidence-based neurological deficit algorithm initiated in the emergency department could reduce door-to-groin puncture time to less than 90 minutes and improve neurological outcomes in AIS patients who received mechanical thrombectomy. METHODS: Retrospective chart reviews occurred between September 2020 and April 2021, which included 25 patients. Clinical and time data were collected from...

Factors Predicting Frailty Among Postoperative Brain Tumor Patients
This study aimed to examine factors predicting frailty in brain tumor patients after craniotomy. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional predictive study. The sample included 85 patients who were 18 years or older and underwent craniotomy with tumor removal from 1 university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, between February and October 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression, which determined significance level at .05. RESULTS: The prevalence of frailty among participants was 50.6%. Postoperative symptom and mood state were positively associated with frailty...

Results From the Perceived Value of Certification Tool-12 Survey: Analysis of the Perceived Value of Certification Among Stroke and Neuroscience Nurses
CONCLUSION: The PVCT-12 incorporated a Likert-type scale to provide levels of agreement for intrinsic and extrinsic values among stroke certified registered nurses and certified neuroscience registered nurses. To complement these findings, further research using open-ended questions is needed to improve our understanding of participant responses regarding complex values such as “autonomy” and the “extent of being listened to.” (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Effect of the Preparatory School FAST Stroke Educational Program
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of FAST stroke educational program among all preparatory school students in the state of Qatar. METHODS: The pretest-posttest experimental research design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the FAST educational program in Qatar. A 30-minute audiovisual presentation was given to improve knowledge of stroke. We included grade 7 to 9 students during the academic year 2018–2019. The FAST program consisted of a pretest, an educational intervention, and immediate and long-term posttests at 2 months. RESULTS: A sample of 1244 students completed presurvey a...
