“…Time-wasting activities, as reported by nurses in this and previous studies, include spending too much time on lowpriority tasks; treating everything as urgent; inability to say "no" to extra work; and excessive interruptions by people and colleagues [34]. Meetings that are inefective, with no clear purpose, agenda, or follow-ups are a waste of time as well as arriving at meetings late.…”

“…Meetings that are inefective, with no clear purpose, agenda, or follow-ups are a waste of time as well as arriving at meetings late. Other time-wasters include excessive socializing, phone calls, and phone interruptions; inefcient and unclear communications with patients and colleagues; insufciently detailed policies and procedures; reluctance to delegate tasks; and an overload of paperwork [34].…”
Background. Nurses face significant challenges as they attempt to manage an increasing number of complex responsibilities within limited time frames. This article explores the factors contributing to time-wasting behaviors among nurses in Palestine and emphasizes the significance of effective time-management skills in nursing practice. Methods. Surveys were collected from a total of 714 nurses working in multiple healthcare facilities located in the north of the West Bank, Palestine. An 11-item time-wasting scale was developed and validated. Factors influencing time-wasting behaviors among nurses were then investigated using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 25. Results. Attending time management courses significantly reduced time-wasting behaviors. Additionally, factors such as age, gender, and educational level did not appear to correlate with time-wasting behaviors. However, workplace, type of organization, and attendance of time management courses did impact nurses’ time management skills. Conclusion. This article underscores the importance of time management skills in nursing practice. Inefficient time management can have detrimental effects on patient care and nursing outcomes. To mitigate these challenges, healthcare institutions and nursing education programs should prioritize time management training for nurses.

“…Pyrazoline derivative [1][2][3][4][5][6] have been found to possess wide range of therapeutic activity such as antidiabetic [7] , antiimplantation [8] , antiallergic [9] , anticonvulsant [10][11] , antineoplastic [12] , anti-inflammatory [13] , antitumor [14] , analgesic [15][16] antimicrobial [17] , bactericidal [18][19] etc. The structure of synthesized compounds were assigned based on Elemental analysis, I.R.…”
Some new 3-Aryl-5-[4'-(p-methylbenzyloxy)-3'-methoxyphenyl]-4,-5dihydro-1H-pyrazoles (1a-l) and 3-Aryl-1-carbothioamide-5-[4'-(pmethylbenzyloxy)-3'-methoxyphenyl]-4,-5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles (2al) were prepared. All the prepared compounds were characterized by their spectral (I.R., N.M.R., Mass) data and screened for their antimicrobial activities.
“…From 32 studies, 10 studies were initially selected for meta-analysis based on MMSE scores and participation in formal education and learning programs for older adults. Measure effects were retrieved for all studies, and a pooled meta-analysis was performed on five studies (Fahmy et al, 2016;Jo et al, 2018;Li et al, 2019;López-Higes et al, 2018;Spector et al, 2003); note that two of the constituent studies (Jo et al, 2018;López-Higes et al, 2018) had two population samples, both of which were included, resulting in seven studies included in the pooled analysis. Meta-analysis of 4,239 older adults (with or without dementia) revealed a significant pooled mean difference in MMSE score, before and after intervention with formal education and learning programs (Figure 2).…”
Objective: To determine the effect of later-life formal education or learning on quality of life (QOL), wellbeing, mood, and cognition. Methods: A systematic literature review of interventional clinical trials and observational studies was conducted for adults aged ≥55 years who had undertaken formal education or learning programs. Outcome measures included physical activity, happiness, affective and behavioral symptoms, cognitive function, and QOL. Bias was assessed using funnel plots, Egger’s test, and leave1out analysis. Results: From 32 studies identified, we showed qualitative increases in cognitive function, life satisfaction, and self-confidence associated with learning. A meta-analysis revealed a significant pooled mean difference in MMSE scores (0.40, 95% confidence intervals = [0.12, 0.67]). Although there was a low risk of publication bias there was a high risk of sampling bias. Conclusion: Participation in formal education or learning contributed to increased wellbeing, QOL, healthy cognitive function, self-dependency, and a sense of belonging in older adults.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
