In the intervention group the primary nurse was in charge of the patient evaluation to follow up and took on the one on one education top help in the self-healthcare management of the patients. In the control group the patients only received routine care. Hospital Settings · N/A Patient’s sleep quality, survival quality, mobility, and life quality in two groups were significantly improved. The study aims at determining the impact of transitional care to the quality of life of the patients with COPD. The patients in the study were divided into two groups: intervention and control (39 cases each). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version (QOL-BREF), Activity of Daily Life Scale (Barthel index), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and COPD Assessment Test were used to assess patient anxiety and depression symptoms, sleep quality, survival quality, mobility, and life quality at admission and three months after discharge (CAT). First and foremost, based on a questionnaire survey, this study only looked at 3-month TC results. As a result, the long-term impact, such as readmission rate, could not be reliably determined Level I, Good Quality: Reasonably consistent results; sufficient sample size for the study design; some control, fairly definitive conclusions; reasonably consistent recommendations based on fairly comprehensive literature review that includes some reference to scientific evidence · N/A Improvement of survival quality of patients in the intervention group was markedly greater than that in the control group It’s also important to evaluate the patient's drug compliance. · N/A The study only took samples from a hospital, which aren't always representative of patient conditions in other areas. · N/A The morbidity of COPD varies depending on the location · N/A Sample size in this study is small, the patient's characteristics may have an impact on the findings. · N/A · N/A Attach a reference list with full citations of articles reviewed for this Practice question.

Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Appendix G: Individual Evidence Summary Tool The Johns Hopkins Hospital/ The Johns Hopkins University 2 Directions for Use of the Individual Evidence Summary Tool Purpose This form is used to document the results of evidence appraisal in preparation for evidence synthesis. The form provides the EBP team with documentation of the sources of evidence used, the year the evidence was published or otherwise communicated, the information gathered from each

evidence source that helps the team answer the EBP question, and the level and quality of each source of evidence. Article Number Assign a number to each reviewed source of evidence. This organizes the individual evidence summary and provides an easy way to reference articles. Author and Date Indicate the last name of the first author or the evidence source and the publication/communication date. List both author/evidence source and date. Evidence Type Indicate the type of evidence reviewed (for example: RCT, meta-analysis, mixed methods, quaLitative, systematic review, case study, narrative literature review). Sample, Sample Size, and Setting Provide a quick view of the population, number of participants, and study location. Findings That Help Answer the EBP Question Although the reviewer may find many points of interest, list only findings that directly apply to the EBP question. Observable Measures QuaNtitative measures or variables are used to answer a research question, test a hypothesis, describe characteristics, or determine the effect, impact, or influence. QuaLitative evidence uses cases, context, opinions, experiences, and thoughts to represent the phenomenon of study. Limitations Include information that may or may not be within the text of the article regarding drawbacks of the piece of evidence. The evidence may list limitations, or it may be evident to you, as you review the evidence, that an important point is missed or the sample does not apply to the population of interest. Evidence Level and Quality Using information from the individual appraisal tools, transfer the evidence level and quality rating into this column. Discuss the background/history of Kensington, Pennsylvania in Philadelphia 2-3 paragraphs

Paper For Above Instructions Kensington, Pennsylvania, is a neighborhood located in the northeastern section of Philadelphia.

Historically, it was established as a manufacturing hub during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. The area was noted for its robust textile and shipbuilding industries, which attracted a diverse population of workers, including a significant number of immigrants. One such immigrant group was the Irish, who began settling in Kensington in the 1840s. Over time, the demographic landscape of Kensington evolved, with additional waves of immigrants from Europe, particularly Eastern European Jews, creating a rich tapestry of cultural influences. By the early 20th century, Kensington was recognized as a bustling working-class neighborhood characterized by its solid community ties and cultural identity, heavily influenced by its immigrant roots.

The latter part of the 20th century, however, saw significant changes in Kensington. The decline of manufacturing jobs, alongside the rise of suburbanization, led to economic downturns and population loss.

This shift caused many of the historic factories and warehouses to close or reduce their workforce significantly. As a result, Kensington faced increasing levels of poverty, unemployment, and associated social issues, such as drug addiction and crime, which became prevalent by the 1990s. However, despite these challenges, there has been a community resurgence in some areas of Kensington in recent years, with local initiatives focusing on economic development and community revitalization aimed at reclaiming its rich history and cultural identity.

In summary, the history of Kensington, Pennsylvania, reflects a narrative not uncommon in many industrial towns across the United States. From its establishment as a manufacturing powerhouse to its struggles with economic decline, Kensington's community has shown resilience and adaptability. Efforts to restore the neighborhood's former vibrancy through revitalization projects emphasize the importance of local heritage and community action in shaping its future.
