“…In China, to our knowledge, this is the first study, which explored the prevalence of MEs among ORNs. However, compared with other kinds of nurses, our findings were similar to the previous findings among emergency department nurses (25.28%) (9) but higher than the findings among the nurses in other departments (17,37). The higher prevalence of MEs among ORNs and emergency department nurses may be explained by the complicated and urgent work among ORNs and emergency department nurses, which were risk factors for MEs (32,38).…”

“…We should know that many previous studies had given us much information about the prevalence of MEs among nurses ( 16 , 17 ), and many factors were also supported to be associated with MEs for nurses, such as occupational burnout ( 18 ), physical and mental health ( 19 ), and fatigue ( 20 , 21 ). However, the differences between ORNs and other kinds of nurses should be considered when we interpret these findings.…”

BackgroundIn recent decades, the prominence of medical errors (MEs) and adverse events (AEs) is fueled by several studies performed across the world. Correspondingly, a high prevalence of medical errors and adverse events have been reported. Operating room nurses (ORNs) were indispensable members of the operating process, and any kind of MEs or AEs from ORNs may cause serious results and even death to the patients. However, to the best of our knowledge, the prevalence and associated factors of MEs and AEs were never reported among ORNs in China, which is the largest country in population and health services quantity in the world.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted among ORNs in China, and 787 valid questionnaires were analyzed in this study. MEs, AEs, gender, age, married status, religious belief, academic degree, manager or not, working years, working hours/week, physical disease, and mental health were evaluated in this study. MEs were evaluated by eight questions about the occurrence of eight kinds of MEs for the ORNs. For ORNs with MEs, further questions about clinical harm to the patients were interviewed, which analyzed AEs. Kessler 10 was used to evaluate the ORNs' mental health. Logistic regression was conducted to examine the factors associated with MEs and AEs.ResultsThe prevalence of MEs and AEs was 27.7 and 13.9% among ORNs, respectively. The most frequent MEs that occurred among ORNs were from surgical instruments (9.1%), disinfection (9.0%), equipment and consumables (8.9%), and specimen management (7.8%). MEs were positively associated with lower working years, poor mental health, and physical disease. The physical disease was positively associated with AEs.ConclusionThe prevalence of perceived MEs and AEs was at a higher level than other kinds of nurses. Fresh ORNs with physical and mental health problems were the risk population for MEs, and ORNs with physical disease were at a higher risk for AEs. All the findings implied that MEs and AEs were an important issue for ORNs, and ORNs with physical and mental health problems should be paid attention to control MEs and AEs.

“…PSM has become an emerging technique for causal inference in observational research and is increasingly being used to eliminate the imbalance between intervention and nonintervention groups, as well as reduce selection bias caused by confounding variables. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The selection of appropriate confounding variables is, however, crucial in the application of PSM. In our study, the confounding variables selected aligned with teenagers' cognitive ability, and their involvement in extracurricular tutoring was included in the study.…”

In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of adolescent students attending extracurricular tutoring. However, extracurricular tutoring, being a distinct form of education, may have varying effects on cognitive capabilities compared to conventional education. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to conduct a thorough examination of the effects of extracurricular tutoring on cognitive abilities among adolescent students. The study utilized national data from the China Family Panel Study 2018 to explore the relationship between involvement in extracurricular tutoring among students and cognitive abilities. The study included 2567 valid respondents. A binary logistic regression model was built to determine the factors associated with tutoring involvement while controlling for 19 individual, family, and school factors. Furthermore, a propensity score-matched analysis was conducted in order to mitigate potential bias by using confounding variables identified in the previous step. The study results show that participation in extracurricular tutoring can significantly increase the level of cognitive ability of adolescent students, with adjustments made for age, gender, ethnicity, number of family members, net family income per capita, education and training expenditure in the past years, change of residence for enrollment, change of domicile address for enrollment, locality of the current school, class size, hold a position as a class cadre, average daily study time on weekdays, average study time per day during weekends. The findings imply that the government should provide tutorial subsidies to disadvantaged groups of adolescent students, allocate educational resources equitably, and invest more in education resources in less developed regions to foster fair and healthy development of education and improve the cognitive abilities of young students in the long-term.

“…Second victims experience distress on both a professional and personal level [ 9 , 10 ]. In this case, medical errors or adverse events can seriously affect healthcare workers and cause permanent scars [ 11 ]. Second victims face symptoms that are common in post-traumatic stress disorders such as anxiety, depression, guilt, and sleep disorders [ 12 ].…”
