Subcutaneous heparin injections sometimes cause pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma. The prevalence of complications depends on the injection site, technique, and drug absorption. This study investigated the effect of two types of subcutaneous heparin injections on pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma as well as drug absorption rates. ⋯ The tissue-releasing and TPTs are not superior to each other as far as drug absorption, pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma are concerned. In this study recommend pinching the tissue or using the abdominal region in cases where the subcutaneous tissue thickness is less than 15.96 mm. The nurse should consider Body Mass Index before choosing the right subcutaneous heparin injection site and the correct injection technique.

To examine the medical students' awareness of laparoscopic surgery as well as assess the perceived importance of laparoscopic simulation training, and its impact on students' confidence, career aspirations, proficiency, spatial skills, and physical tolerance. ⋯ Laparoscopic simulation training effectively improved the understanding, confidence, and surgical skills of medical students, with evident benefits in shaping their career aspirations. While both genders exhibited significant gains, female students faced challenges in terms of physical tolerance and initial spatial awareness. However, their post-training achievements mirrored those of their male peers, highlighting the effectiveness and importance of such simulation training programmes.

In people with Parkinson's disease (PD), quantitative assessment of activities inside and outside the home is crucial for planning effective rehabilitation tailored to a person's living conditions and characteristics. ⋯ Of the 10 participants, nine had a complete data set (adoption rate 90%). The mean physical activity metre wearing time was 14.12 ± 2.26 h/day, with a mean missing time of 25.7 ± 18.1 min/day in the daily activity diary. Combining a physical activity metre and a daily activity diary is feasible in people with PD, particularly when planning rehabilitation protocols to enhance daily physical activity.
