Abstract: Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the most commonly used therapy in the ICUs. Patients report unpleasant physical and psychological symptoms such as anxiety and fear. Psychological symptoms are attributed to the mechanical ventilation itself. Because of associated adverse effects and complications of MV, weaning is an essential and universal element in the care of mechanically ventilated patients (MVPs). Many studies have indicated that anxiety during the weaning process decrease oxygen saturation and increase oxygen consumption in MVPs. Aim of the study: This study aims to determine therelationship between anxiety and fear level on the weaning success or failure of mechanically.......

Abstract: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. A total of 42 pharmacists participated in the survey while a total of 270 Registered Nurses were selected from nurses working at the study centre using consecutive sampling method (n=312). Reliability coefficient was 0.84; Kruskal-Wallis test and T-Test were applied to test hypothesis at α = 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that about 33 (90.5%) of pharmacists and 178 (68.7%) of nurses were previously involved in Medication Errors (MEs). The extent of perceived barriers to reporting MEs varied among the respondents. Nevertheless, the most common perceived barriers noted among them was concern of being blamed if something happens to the patient due to the error (Pmean= 3.56 and Nmean= 4.09) and fear of reprimand by the hospital management (Pmean= 3.56 and Nmean= 4.11).........

Abstract: Globally, cancer affecting the breast is the most occurring cancer among women. The impact of the disease is much greater because most women delay presentation and are diagnosed with advanced stage disease, which is known to be associated with poor quality of life, reduced chance of survival and poor prognostic outcomes. Breast cancer detection and prevention are significant issues in public health and clinical practice. To achieve early detection of the disease in resource-challenged settings, integration of prevention interventions in standard medical care across all levels of cancer prevention including palliative context is paramount. A narrative review on the background information on these subjects is provided to inform future research on the phenomenon. This review was conducted as part of a study seeking to integrate breast cancer prevention into cancer palliative care in a tertiary hospital in Ghana.
