This study aimed to identify and map the antecedents, attributes, consequences, and definition of nurse–conscious mechanically ventilated patient communication (N-CMVPC). This scoping review was conducted by searching the Cochrane Library and the CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, between 2001 and 2021. The keywords queried included "nurses," "mechanically ventilated patients," "mechanical ventilation," "intubated patients," "communication," "interaction," "relationships," "nurse–patient communication," "nurse–patient relations," "intensive care units," and "critical care." Studies related to communication with healthcare personnel or family members were excluded. The results indicated that N-CMVPC manifests as a set of attributes...

Obstructive sleep apnea is one of the factors that may be associated with difficult intubation. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was conducted in 2015 from February to June on 175 elderly patients using convenience sampling method. In order to gather data Demographic form, Berlin questionnaire and Comark-Lehane Index were used. Data were analyzed by SPSS (version 18) Statistical software and Kolmogorov-Smirnov, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney-u, chi-square tests and Logistic Regression. Results: The mean age and SD of samples were 69.9±9.3 years. There were 18 (26.9%) people with difficult intubation and 10 (9.3%) people with normal intubation at high risk of sleep apnea. The results of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between sleep apnea and difficult intubation, and the risk of sleep apnea in the elderly with difficult intubation was 3.6 times of those with normal intubation (p=0.002, OR=3.6, CI 95%= 1.5-8.9). Conclusion: There is a relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly. Therefore, a screening procedure to identify the elderly at high risk of sleep apnea that are candidate for anesthesia seems to be necessary.

The first step to achieve this goal is to determine the factors associated with nurses' work engagement, yet very few studies have been conducted on this subject in Iran. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the correlation between work engagement and workplace incivility in nurses who were working in selected teaching hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran, during 2015 and 2016. Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, 516 nurses were selected randomly from teaching hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences during 2015 and 2016. Data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, the utrecht work engagement scale, and the nursing incivility scale. Results: The means of work engagement and workplace incivility scores were 3.59 ± 1.16 (average) and 2.68 ± 0.65 (low), respectively. A significant negative correlation was found between work engagement and workplace incivility in nurses (P < 0.01, r =-0.27). The findings of the present study revealed that the nurses' work engagement and incivility from physicians were significantly different based on the type of ward. In addition, the mean score of incivility from physicians were significantly different based on different hospitals and work experience. Conclusions: Nursing managers should use proper strategies to improve nurses' work engagement and decrease the incidence of incivility in hospitals and clinical environments.
