Clinical trials

The purpose of this research project is to add evidence of pharmacological (0.025% atropine) and optical (Defocus Integrated Multiple Segments Triple Enhanced Design spectacle lenses ) approaches for myopia prevention among premyopic preschoolers, which may contribute to a better understanding of the intervention strategy for myopia control in premyopic children.

This study aims to examine the effects of Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) on pulmonary function, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and dyspnea in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. A block-randomized crossover trial will be conducted at the pulmonology outpatient clinic of a regional teaching hospital in eastern Taiwan. Participants aged 40-90 years with physician-diagnosed COPD (post-bronchodilator FEV₁/FVC \< 70%) will be randomly allocated into two groups. The total observation period is 16 weeks with 5 data collection time points: T0 (baseline), T1 (Week 4), T2 (Week 8), T3 (Week 12), and T4 (Week 16). Each intervention period lasts 8 weeks. Primary outcomes are dyspnea (mMRC) and COPD symptom burden (CAT). Secondary outcomes include pulmonary function (FEV₁, FVC), sleep quality (PSQI), and depressive symptoms (DASS-21).

The goal of this study is to examine the facilitators and barriers to the comprehensive implementation of AI technology in nursing documentation. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are facilitators to the comprehensive implementation of AI technology in nursing documentation? What are barriers to the comprehensive implementation of AI technology in nursing documentation? What strategies can help to fully utilize artificial intelligence technology in nursing documentation?
