BACKGROUND Caring for families is fundamental to pediatric nursing. However, existing measures do not capture parents' experiences with family-centered nursing care. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the development and initial psychometric testing of the Family-Centered Care Scale, a seven-item instrument designed to measure a parent's experience of nursing care that embodies c...

because of its widespread needs in different scientific fields, statistics and probability theory have gained great importance and medical students as well as students of other medically related disciplines including nursing need to use them especially in their research projects in undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate schools. this article deals with the question of finding the most effecti...

OBJECTIVE The identification of parental needs in Neonatal Intensive Care Units is essential to design and implement family-centered care. This article aims to validate the Neonatal Intensive Care Units Family Needs Inventory for the Portuguese population, and to propose a Short Form. METHODS A linguistic adaptation of the Neonatal Intensive Care Units Family Needs Inventory, a self-report sc...

Specifying and enforcing constraints and invariants such as architectural constraints and data typing, strongly enhances the safety and reliability of the software system. Next to design and development constraints, the composition of software systems in component-based software also introduces composition time constraints and dependencies. In data-centered software systems, for example, the so...

In the reliability centered maintenance (RCM) methodology, the reliability estimates of the system are used to provide a cost-effective & satisfactory maintenance schedule. In this paper, a new framework for improvement of the RCM procedure based on the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is developed. In order to achieve the objective, first based on the OREDA handbook classification the c...

Managers are constantly being told that the quality of data is insufficient for producing reliable results from business models. Reliability analysis is no exception. In this paper, the authors show that it is possible to retrospectively improve the quality of failure histories stored in computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS). A tool was developed to help reliability professionals a...

The researchers used recordings of a sentinel's 'watchman's song' played back at different heights to observe the differences in behaviour. And indeed they found that the higher a song was transmitted, the more confident foragers were in extending the distance and duration of their activities. When sentinels moved to a higher position, their probability of detecting predators is likely to be gr...
