"Abstract Background and Objectives: Sand and Dust Storms (SDSs) and their associated health impacts are emerging as a major public health concern. This study aimed to identify the determinants of hospital preparedness for SDSs. Methods: This qualitative study used a conventional content analysis approach. Through an inductive process, the study extracted codes, sub-categories, and categories. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews and social media–based communication. The study used the qualitative content analysis method developed by Graneheim and Lundman to analyze the data. The study also ensured the trustworthiness of the findings by applying the Guba and Lincoln criteria.Results: Researchers interviewed 18 participants, then transcribed and analyzed the interview data. This analysis yielded 457 codes. After merging similar and duplicate codes, 111 unique codes remained. Next, these codes were further categorized into three main categories and 12 sub-categories based on participants' responses. The categories included context, content, and consolidation. The sub-categories included risk assessment, risk planning, monitoring and evaluation, risk education, risk communication, exercise, resources, surge capacity, incident management system, early warning system, telecommunication, and health information. Conclusion: The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors that shape hospital preparedness for SDSs in an exposed country and may ultimately help reduce the risks associated with this hazard. Furthermore, these findings can serve as a foundation for developing hospital preparedness assessment frameworks for SDSs."

"Abstract Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has the advantage of reducing the hospitalization time and hastening the recovery time as compared to the traditional open gallbladder removal (laparotomy). The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the intervention, the intensified nursing care, especially patient-centered care, the coordination with other disciplines, and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). Methods: A randomized controlled trial of 150 elective LC patients compared structured ERAS-based nursing care (n=75) with standard postoperative management (n=75). The intervention focused on individualized pain and nutrition management, as well as multidisciplinary support. Primary outcomes were GI recovery time, postoperative complications, and length of stay; secondary outcomes were pain scores (6, 12, 24 hours) and patient satisfaction. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups (P>0.05). The experimental group showed faster GI recovery and shorter hospital stay (3.6±1.1 vs. 5.1±1.4 days, P<0.01). They experienced fewer GI complications (nausea: 18% vs. 30%, P=0.03; bloating: 10% vs. 22%, P=0.04) and lower infection rates (4% vs. 12%, P=0.05). Pain scores were significantly lower at all time points (P<0.05), and patient satisfaction was higher (85% vs. 70%, P=0.04. The regression analysis revealed that patient-centered care, ERAS adherence scores, and nursing assessment scores are significant factors influencing GI recovery and patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Nursing care results in better recovery and a lower risk for post-LC complications. The nursing methods that are trained, multidisciplinary, and patient-centered can be incorporated into postoperative procedures and significantly improve postoperative outcomes."
