摘要:

This study compared selected types of information given before sig-moidoscopy to determine if one intervention was superior to the other in decreasing anxiety. The design was two-group, pre- and posttest quasi-experimental. Anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and heart rate monitoring. Preparatory information consisted of 3 to 5 min audiotaped messages. Subjects in a convenience sample of 22 men were randomly assigned to one of two information conditions, procedure (control) or procedure plus sensation (experimental).ttests and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Data analysis revealed no significant difference (p= .05) in anxiety between groups postintervention. There were no significant changes in heart rate between groups by time or within groups over time. Subjective comments on postsigmoidoscopy questions were strongly positive regarding the benefits of both types of preparatory information.

摘要:

This article discusses the potential toxicity of glutaraldehyde, a chemical commonly used in endoscopy units. The literature review cites adverse health effects experienced by workers exposed to glutaraldehyde. The sampling methodology for glutaraldehyde relative to the Occupational Safety and Health standard for glutaraldehyde is presented. Air monitoring should be performed to assess employee exposure to airborne glutaraldehyde in endoscopy departments. Recommendations for reducing exposure to glutaraldehyde in endoscopy units are included.

摘要:

Infectious gastroenteritis is a frequent recurring illness in young children. It is caused by a viral agent in 70 to 80% of cases. Bacteria, parasites, and toxins account for the remaining 20 to 30%. A careful history and complete physical examination are the first steps to diagnosing acute gastroenteritis and establishing a treatment plan. The majority of infants and children with infectious gastroenteritis are successfully managed at home. The care of these children focuses on accurately assessing hydration status, maintaining adequate hydration and caloric intake to promote recovery, educating the family about the infection and the treatment plan, and preventing the spread of the infection.
