Spanish Version of the Scale 'Eventos Adversos Associados às Práticas de Enfermagem' (EAAPE): Validation in Nursing Students
2022
Healthcare carried out by different health professionals, including nurses, implies the possible appearance of adverse events that affect the safety of the patient and may cause damage to the patient. In clinical practice, it is necessary to have measurement instruments that allow for the evaluation of the presence of these types of events in order to prevent them. This study aims to validate the “Eventos adversos associados às práticas de enfermagem” (EAAPE) scale in Spanish and evaluate its reliability. The validation was carried out through a cross-sectional study with a sample of 337 nursing students from the University of Valencia recruited during the 2018–19 academic year. An explorat…
A practical framework for data management processes and their evaluation in population-based medical registries.
2013
We present a framework for data management processes in population-based medical registries. Existing guidelines lack the concreteness we deem necessary for them to be of practical use, especially concerning the establishment of new registries. Therefore, we propose adjustments and concretisations with regard to data quality, data privacy, data security and registry purposes.First, we separately elaborate on the issues to be included into the framework and present proposals for their improvements. Thereafter, we provide a framework for medical registries based on quasi-standard-operation procedures.The main result is a concise and scientifically based framework that tries to be both broad a…
Zur Belastung von Augen und Gehör am Arbeitsplatz und in der Umwelt
2007
Sowohl im Erwerbsleben als auch in der Freizeit sind Augen und Gehor die am haufigsten beanspruchten Sinnesorgane. Eine ungunstige Gestaltung der Arbeits- bzw. Umweltbedingungen fuhrt haufig zu negativen Belastungen nicht nur der entsprechenden Sinnesorgane, sondern meist auch des gesamten Organismus. Zur Minimierung einer unphysiologischen Belastung ist eine entsprechende Arbeits- und Umweltgestaltung prioritar. The visual and auditive systems are the most commonly used senses at work and in leisure time. Unfavourable featured workplaces and environments frequently lead to stresses and strain not only the sense organs but also the entire organism. To minimize unphysiological squeals an opt…
Pragmatic Diabetes Management in Nursing Homes: Individual Care Plan
2013
Although the management of diabetes as a simple entity has been extensively developed, there is a dearth of evidence in elderly, frail patients with multiple comorbidities and polymedication. This population represents a large proportion of the residents of nursing homes (NHs). As a multidisciplinary group of French experts (geriatricians, endocrinologists, diabetologists, and general practitioners) with practical experience in this area, which is growing in magnitude throughout the world, we convened to compile pragmatic, simple advice on the management of elderly, frail diabetic patients. Given demands on NH personnel (manager, medical coordinator, nurses, and, at the front line of care p…
Glycemic Outcome Associated With Insulin Pump and Glucose Sensor Use in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes. Data From the International Pe…
2021
OBJECTIVE Insulin delivery methods, glucose-monitoring modalities, and related outcomes were examined in a large, international, diverse cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes from the Better Control in Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes: Working to Create Centers of Reference (SWEET) -Registry. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants with type 1 diabetes of >= 1 year, aged <= 18 years, and who had documented pump or sensor usage during the period August 2017-July 2019 were stratified into four categories: injections-no sensor (referent); injections + sensor; pump-no sensor; and pump + sensor. HbA(1c) and proportion of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hyp…
What are the ethical aspects surrounding the collegial decisional process in limiting and withdrawing treatment in intensive care?
2017
International audience; The decision to limit or withdraw life-support treatment is an integral part of the job of a physician working in the intensive care unit, and of the approach to care. However, this decision is influenced by a number of factors. It is widely accepted that a medical decision that will ultimate lead to end-of-life in the intensive care unit (ICU) must be shared between all those involved in the care process, and should give precedence to the patient's wishes (either directly expressed by the patient or in written form, such as advance directives), and taking into account the opinion of the patient's family, including the surrogate if the patient is no longer capable of…
Intersecting vulnerabilities in professionals and patients in intensive care.
2017
International audience; In the context of healthcare delivery, the vulnerabilities of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are intricately linked with those experienced on a daily basis by caregivers in the ICU in a symbiotic relation, whereby patients who are suffering can in turn engender suffering in the caregivers. In the same way, caregivers who are suffering themselves may be a source of suffering for their patients. The vulnerabilities of both patients and caregivers in the ICU are simultaneously constituted through a process that is influenced on the one hand by the healthcare objectives of the ICU, and on the other hand, by the conformity of the patients who are managed in tha…
What are the ethical dimensions in the profession of intensive care specialist?
2017
International audience; Two essential components of the profession of a medical doctor are the constant review of the patient's therapeutic project, and collaboration between healthcare professionals. The profession of intensive care unit (ICU) physician goes further in terms of responsibility, vis-à-vis the intensive treatments dispensed to the patients, and the physician's responsibilities towards the patient's family and the caregiving team, also bearing in mind that ICU care is costly in terms of human and financial resources. In this review, we address the profession of ICU physician from the perspective of the ethical questions that arise constantly, focusing on the timeframe of the r…
Sédation profonde et continue maintenue jusqu’au décès en réanimation : mise au point de la Commission d’Ethique de la SRLF
2021
La mise en œuvre de la sédation profonde et continue maintenue jusqu’au décès en réanimation peut s’avérer complexe car il faut tenir compte de la singularité de chaque patient et de son entourage. Cet aspect de la prise en charge devrait être évoqué autant que possible avec le patient et ses proches bien avant que la question de la fin de vie ne se pose. Formation des soignants, information des patients et des proches et adaptation de l’environnement en fin de vie représentent les pistes d’amélioration de la prise en charge de la fin de vie en réanimation.
