2023

Unlabelled: . Transitioning Italian nursing education in the post-pandemic period: priorities in the light of lessons learnt. Introduction: Once back to normalcy, many nursing education activities have been restored without an in-depth analysis of which transformations enacted in the pandemic period should be maintained and valued. Aim: To identify priorities to effectively transitioning nursing education in the post-pandemic period. Method: Descriptive qualitative design. A network of nine universities involved 37 faculty members, 28 clinical nurse educators and 65 students/new graduates. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews; the main priorities reported in each universit…

Implementation of the norwegian ‘Starting right’ child health service innovation: implementation adjustments, adoption, and acceptability

2021

Abstract Background An increased and/or stable proportion of the child and adolescent population reports symptoms of impaired health, and the symptoms can be identified early. Therefore, structured child- and parent-reported outcome measures need to be implemented in child and school health services for decision support and identification of children at risk. We aimed to (a) qualitatively examine adjustments of active implementation from the pilot implementation of the Norwegian ‘Starting Right’ health service innovation including an online child health assessment tool and practical routines, and (b) measure practitioners´ adoption and parental acceptability. Methods We used a mixed-methods…

Cerebrovascular involvement in fabry disease: current status of knowledge.

2014

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare and highly debilitating lysosomal storage disorder that results from a total lack of, or deficiency in, the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) because of mutations in the GLA gene.1 FD is inherited as an X-linked trait; many of the male patients develop a classic severe phenotype with early onset of symptoms, whereas heterozygous females exhibit phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic to major involvement of vital organs.2 Most families inherit private mutations; to date, >600 mutations have been identified and are listed in the online FD database (Fabry-database.org).3 The deficiency in α-Gal A causes the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3; also abbreviat…

A qualitative meta-synthesis of patients' experiences of intra- and inter-hospital transitions

2013

Aim. To aggregate, interpret and synthesize findings from qualitative studies of patients’ experiences on being transferred/in transition from one hospital to another or from one ward to another. Background. Studies about patients’ experiences of transfer focused on concepts such as transfer stress, transfer anxiety, and translocation syndrome; however, a metasynthesis on experiences of transition across different patient populations was lacking. Design. The meta-synthesis approach was based on the guidelines by Sandelowski and Barroso. Data source. Six electronic databases were searched for articles published between the years 1999-2011, based on the target phenomenon: patients’ experience…

A human factors intervention in a hospital - evaluating the outcome of a TeamSTEPPS program in a surgical ward

2021

AbstractBackgroundPatient safety in hospitals is being jeopardized, since too many patients experience adverse events. Most of these adverse events arise from human factors, such as inefficient teamwork and communication failures, and the incidence of adverse events is greatest in the surgical area. Previous research has shown the effect of team training on patient safety culture and on different areas of teamwork. Limited research has investigated teamwork in surgical wards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the professional and organizational outcomes of a team training intervention among healthcare professionals in a surgical ward after 6 and 12 months.

Voice and choice for users and carers? Developments in patterns of care for older people in Australia, England and Finland

2012

This article identifies key trends over the last 20 years in residential and community care for older people in England, Finland and Australia, investigating the extent of ‘de-institutionalisation’, ‘privatisation’ and ‘individualisation’. The concepts of collective and individual ‘voice’ and ‘choice’ are used to interrogate the roles of collective and individual actors, older people and carers, in influencing policy formulation. While these three processes have been pursued by policy-makers in each country, their implementation is illuminated by understanding how ‘voice’ and ‘choice’ have been operationalised – individually and collectively – in each context. In the reshaping of eldercare…

Unpacking the behavioural components and delivery features of early childhood obesity prevention interventions in the TOPCHILD Collaboration: A syste…

2022

ABSTRACTIntroductionLittle is known about how early (e.g., commencing antenatally or in the first 12 months after birth) obesity prevention interventions seek to change behaviour and which components are or are not effective. This study aims to 1) characterise early obesity prevention interventions in terms of target behaviours, delivery features, and behaviour change techniques (BCTs), 2) explore similarities and differences in BCTs used to target behaviours, and 3) explore effectiveness of intervention components in preventing childhood obesity.Methods and analysisAnnual comprehensive systematic searches will be performed in Epub Ahead of Print/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane (CENTRAL), CINAHL,…

Risk of Hospitalized Falls and Hip Fractures in 22,103 Older Adults Receiving Mental Health Care vs 161,603 Controls: A Large Cohort Study.

2020

Abstract: Objectives: To investigate the risk of hospitalized fall or hip fracture among older adults using mental health services. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting and Participants: Residents of a South London catchment aged >60 years receiving specialist mental health care between 2008 and 2016. Measures: Falls and/or a hip fracture leading to hospitalization were ascertained from linked national records. Incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were age- and gender-standardized to the catchment population. Multivariable survival analyses were applied investigating falls and/or hip fractures as outcomes. Results: In 22,103 older adults, incidence rates were 60.1 per 100…

État des lieux des pratiques actuelles de l’hypnose au sein des centres hospitaliers universitaire français

2017

Hypnosis is very fashionable as an entertainment through TV shows searching for new sensational experiences. What about its practice in the medical world? The aim of this article is to answer to this question. Therefore, we contacted every French University Hospital of each region to find out if hypnosis was practiced for the care of pain (hypnoanalgesia), for chirurgical procedures (hypnosedation) and in adult psychiatry care units (hypnotherapy). For this last practice, we also questioned the type of indications. All 30 of the French University Hospitals had replied by November 2015. Hypnoanalgesia is practiced by all and two-thirds offer hypnosedation. Hypnotherapy is practiced by 40 % o…
