AbstractBackground Moral injury is an emerging explanation of burnout and suicidality, but remains poorly quantified in at-risk practitioners. We hypothesized that COVID-19 pandemic-related moral injury differs between frontline clinicians, genders, age, and country of practice. Methods We conducted an online cross-sectional survey of international physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics and respiratory therapists between April and June 2020. We included the adapted version of the Expressions of Moral Injury Scale (EMIS). The primary outcome was differences in moral injury scores between clinician roles. Results Three hundred and two clinicians participated, including physicians (61% [n=184]), nurses (28% [n=85]), and nurse practitioners (5% [n=14]). The median age was 39 (IQR 32-76), females comprised 54% of the respondents, and the majority resided in Canada (n =183 [61%]) or the United States (US; n = 106 [35%]). Emergency medicine (88% [n=265]), and intensive care (6% [n=17]) were the main specialties responding. Median moral injury scores across multiple domains were higher for nurses compared to physicians, as well as for younger, and female respondents. Moral injury scores were also significantly higher for respondents from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, compared to Canada. Conclusions Our research suggests that during COVID-19, measures of moral injury differ across roles, gender and place of work. Future research is warranted to better understand the impact of moral injury on clinicians’ psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic., MethodsThis dataset was collected through the Qualtrics online survey application.

IntroductionThe fifth wave of COVID-19 has significantly overburdened the health care system in Hong Kong. Health care professionals, particularly nurses continue to experience significant levels of psychological distress when tackling this ongoing outbreak. Yet, no study has explored the psychological experiences of nurses during the most recent outbreak of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in Hong Kong. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the psychological distress experienced by nurses during the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong.MethodsTwenty-two nurses (14 female and 8 male nurses; average age, 36.7 ± 8.5 years) were recruited to attend the one-to-one semi-structured telephone interviews from June to July, 2022. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsFour main themes emerged from the interview: (1) Intense fear, worry, and anxiety; (2) Feeling worn out and psychologically distress; (3) Impact on psychosocial and physical health; and (4) Limited options to cope with psychological distress during the difficult times.DiscussionOur study findings may provide concerned stakeholders with useful insights into reducing the psychological distress experienced by nurses in Hong Kong. Offering psychological support is of paramount importance to address the unmet psychological needs of nurses and reduce their psychological distress during the pandemic, particularly when they are working under high levels of workplace stress.

Nursing Arm Pillows Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global nursing arm pillows market size reached USD 432 million in 2024, reflecting a robust expansion driven by increasing awareness of maternal and infant health. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period, reaching approximately USD 791 million by 2033.

Adjustable nursing arm pillows have gained significant traction due to their abi

Background:Treatment success rates for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in South Africa remain close to 50%. Lack of access to timely, decentralized care is a contributing factor. We evaluated MDR-TB treatment outcomes from a clinical cohort with task-sharing between a clinical nurse practitioner (CNP) and a medical officer (MO). Methods:We completed a retrospective evaluation of outcomes from a prospective, programmatically-based MDR-TB cohort who were enrolled and received care between 2012 and 2015 at a peri-urban hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Treatment was provided by either by a CNP or MO. Findings:The cohort included 197 participants with a median age of 33 years, 51% female, and 74% co-infected with HIV. The CNP initiated 123 participants on treatment. Overall MDR-TB treatment success rate in this cohort was 57.9%, significantly higher than the South African national average of 45% in 2012 (p<0·0001) and similar to the provincal average of 60% (p=NS). There were no significant differences by provider type: treatment success was 61% for patients initiated by the CNP and 52.7% for those initiated by the MO. Interpretation:Clinics that adopted a task sharing approach for MDR-TB demonstrated greater treatment success rates than the national average. Task-sharing between the CNP and MO did not adversely impact treatment outcome with similar success rates noted. Task-sharing is a feasible option for South Africa to support decentralization without compromising patient outcomes. Models that allow sharing of responsibility for MDR-TB may optimize the use of human resources and improve access to care.

BackgroundOccupational burnout is prevalent among doctors and nurses. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ICU doctors and nurses regarding occupational burnout.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2023 and June 2024 at the Zhejiang Medical & Health Group Hangzhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected through distributed questionnaires. Occupational burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS).ResultsThis study included 105 doctors and 165 nurses, with an average age of 32.23 ± 7.38 years. Among all the participants, 6 (2.22%) reported no occupational burnout, 230 (85.19%) experienced moderate occupational burnout, and 34 (12.59%) reported severe occupational burnout. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 9.64 ± 4.21 (possible range: 0–18), 29.01 ± 3.15 (possible range: 7–35), and 16.96 ± 4.29 (possible range: 6–30), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a higher knowledge score was independently associated with more proactive practice (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: [1.18, 1.50], p < 0.001). Structural equation modeling showed that knowledge positively influenced both (β = 0.33, p < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), while practice negatively impacted the MBI-GS (β = −0.92, p < 0.001).ConclusionMost ICU doctors and nurses exhibited moderate occupational burnout, with insufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and moderate practice toward occupational burnout. Implementing strategies to increase knowledge and promote active practical engagement is essential to effectively mitigate occupational burnout among ICU staff.

Aim and objectivesThis study aims to assess the proficiency of nurses in the neurology department in managing patients with indwelling gastrointestinal canal.BackgroundMany critically ill patients in neurology departments require the placement of nasoenteric tubes to provide enteral nutrition. However, in clinical practice, there exists considerable variability in nurses’ competencies regarding the management of patients with nasoenteric tubes. A thorough understanding of the challenges nurses face throughout the entire process of nasoenteric tube care and the development of targeted improvement measures are crucial for delivering enhanced patient care and facilitating patient recovery.DesignA qualitative interview study.MethodsFrom August to October 2023, 11 neurological nurses were recruited offline in three hospitals for semi-structured and in-depth interviews. The data analysis uses the KJ method to summarize and classify the themes from the semi-structured interview results, and then organize the themes into a coherent visual and logical path. The COREQ list is used.ResultsThe researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 neurology nurses from three hospitals using a purposive sampling method, of which 64% of the participants were female and 36% were male; the average age was 38.27 ± 7.85 years; 27% from the Department of Neurology, 73% from the Department of Neurosurgery; junior professional titles accounted for 18%, intermediate professional titles accounted for 64%, senior professional titles accounted for 18%; 27% of the subjects were head nurses and 73% were nurses. The study identified 5 themes: (1) Preparation and evaluation before intubation; (2) Enhancement of intubation success rates; (3) Prevention of complications; (4) Management of complications and emergencies; (5) The acquisition of relevant knowledge and experience. In clinical practice, the bedside blind insertion technique is random and has not yet formed a unified standard, and the specific operation details and techniques need to be further improved.ConclusionDisparities exist in the nursing capabilities of neurology nurses due to variations in their knowledge and experience regarding gastrointestinal canal management.

To determine the impact of prenatal and infant/toddler nurse home visiting on maternal and child mortality over 20 years following program enrollment. Three randomized controlled trials (Elmira, NY; Memphis, TN; Denver, CO) designed originally to assess program impacts on pregnancy outcomes and maternal and child health through child age 2. Each trial included a control group, a group that received the full intervention (nurse visitation through child age 2), and an alternative treatment group (nurse home visitation through pregnancy only or visitation by paraprofessionals through child age 2). Due to sample size considerations, the Elmira and Denver samples were combined for all mortality analyses. For determining mortality, background information used for determining mortality status was available for all 1138 mothers randomized to a Memphis treatment condition and all but 13 of the live-born children (n=1076). For the combined Elmira and Denver group, background information was available for all 1135 mothers randomized to any one of the treatment conditions and all but 10 of the live born children (n=1087). Pregnant women and their first-born children who were enrolled in one of three trials of the Nurse-Family Partnership (Elmira, Memphis, Denver) were included in the current study. The Elmira sample (N = 400) was enrolled between April 1978 and September 1980 with an 80% recruitment rate. At enrollment, 47% of the participating women were younger than 19 years of age, 62% were unmarried, and 61% came from families in Hollingshead’s social classes IV and V (semi-skilled and unskilled laborers). In the Memphis trial, a total of 1138 out of 1289 eligible women (88.3%) completed informed consent and were randomized from June 1, 1990, through August 31, 1991. We enrolled primarily African American women at less than 29 weeks of gestation, with no previous live births, and with at least 2 of the following socio-demographic risk characteristics: unmarried, less than 12 years of education, and unemployed. Of the women enrolled, 92.1% were African American, 98.1% were unmarried, 64.1% were 18 years or younger at registration, and 85.1% came from households with annual incomes below the US federal poverty guidelines. Denver trial enrollment took place between March 1994 and June 1995 with a total of 735 out of 1178 consecutive pregnant women with no previous live births who were eligible for Medicaid or who had no private health insurance enrolled in the trial and were randomized to control, paraprofessional, or nurse-visited conditions. 86% of participating women were unmarried, 42% were under 19 years of age, 45% were Latino, and on average participants lived in census tracts where 20% of the population was below the poverty line. The current study was approved by the University of Rochester Institutional Review Board and the Combined Institutional Review Board of the University of Colorado.

Abstract

Introduction: Telephone triage services (TTS) play an increasing role in the delivery of healthcare. The objective of this study was to characterize the users of a TTS for non-critical emergencies, describe the types of advice given and their subsequent observation, and assess the influence of TTS on the use of the healthcare system in a sanitary region of Switzerland. Methods: Data from a TTS based in the French part of Switzerland were analyzed. This service consists of a medical contact center for non-critical emergencies, with trained nurses available 24/7. A random selection of 2,034 adult calls was performed between July and December 2018. Research students contacted users 2 to 4 weeks after the initial call and assessed sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as the impact of the advice received on the use of the healthcare system. Results: A sample of 412 (22.2%) users was included in the analyses. The average age was 49.0 (SD 20.4) years; 68.5% were women and 72.8% of Swiss origin. The two main recommendations provided by nurses were to consult the emergency department (ED) (44.6%, n=184) and to contact a physician on duty (33.2%, n=137). The majority of users followed the advice given by the nurses (substantial agreement [k=0.79] with consulting the ED and perfect agreement [k=0.87] with contacting a physician on duty). We calculated that calling the TTS could decrease the intention to visit the ED by 28.1%. Conclusion: TTS for non-critical emergencies have the potential to decrease the use of ED services.

Sampling procedure

In this cross-sectional study, a research collaborator randomly selected calls each week from all TTS calls made during a 4-month period (July 24 to September 27, 2018, and October 23 to December 17, 2018) by using STATA software (Stata Corp 2015, College Station, Texas, USA).

Mode of data collection

Users were contacted by phone by trained research university students (not necessary medical students) who collected the data. During the phone encounter, participants provided oral consent, after which the students recorded their answers on a secured software system (REDCap). The consent was given orally and the answer was transcribed into the Redcap form. If the answer was negative, the interrogation was interrupted. For each included participant, a research assistant also retrieved data from the TTS database that had been recorded during the initial call by the nurse. The data from the records were used for the exact date of the call and the time of the call. These data were retrieved from the registration form and added to the secure folders (REDCap) by the research assistant.

People who need personal care or nursing due to an illness, disorder or disability can make use of district nursing under the Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw). It is possible to purchase this care in kind and/or via a personal budget (pgb). This table provides information about the use during a year (reporting year), the use on a certain reference date and the scope of care and average expenditure per care user of district nursing. The figures are broken down by gender, age on 31 December of the year under review, care type district nursing, type of care delivery and region. Data available from: 2015 Status of the figures: The figures for the last year are provisional, the figures for previous years are final. Changes as of 25 January 2022: Provisional figures for 2020 have been added. The volume figures for 2019 have been adjusted and then made final. In the case of declarations for services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services', the volume was previously estimated on the basis of the invoiced amount and the average rate of a similar service, if any, and otherwise on the basis of the average rate of total district nursing. From 2019, the volume of services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services' is estimated on the basis of the average rate for total district nursing and the amount claimed. This change of method results in a difference in total volume for 2019 of less than 1% with the provisional figures. When will new numbers come out? The provisional figures will be published no later than 18 months after the end of the year under review. When new annual figures are published, the figures for the previous year become final.

The General Practice Medical Services industry has undergone an interesting five years through the end of 2024-25. As in most developed economies, general practice services in New Zealand receive significant governmental funding, including a 4.0% raise to the capitation funding GPs receive for patient consultations in 2024-25. While lower than its peak in 2021-22, revenue has grown at an annualised 1.6% over the five years through 2024-25, even after considering a 1.2% drop anticipated in 2024-25, to $3.4 billion. The pandemic was profitable for the industry as lockdown measures meant people had to use telehealth services to contact their doctors. This trend has persisted through to the present day. Digital health services provide more impressive profit margins for GPs, which sit at an industrywide 19.0% in 2024-25, as they can churn through more customers per hour than in face-to-face consultations while also allowing them to work from home, should they choose. New Zealanders over 65 are contributing a more significant proportion of industry revenue, which is a natural result of the country's average age creeping up. Still, growing health consciousness may change this status quo in the future, as younger New Zealanders will be more inclined to visit the doctor more frequently instead of waiting for issues to develop into severe conditions. At the same time, older generations will be healthier on average, reducing their risk of chronic conditions that require consistent check-ups or prescriptions. In the coming years, revenue is projected to strengthen at an annualised 2.1% through the end of 2029-30, reaching a healthy $3.8 billion. This growth will come off the back of expanded public health expenditure and a growing population positively impacting the number of total visits to GPs in the country.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze characteristics of homeless people and factors associated with living on the streets. Methods: a census-type sectional survey carried out between 2015 and 2018, in the municipality of Maringá-Paraná. A total of 701 homeless answered a structured questionnaire with sociodemographic data, living conditions, and drug use. We used Pearson’s correlation test for the association analysis of the variables at a 95% confidence level. Results: men (90.7%) the average age of 37.7 years had been homeless for an average of 5.39 years. Most had little education (54.2%), and homelessness was due to drug use (47.2%) and family disagreements (38.9%). Conclusions: drug use and family disagreements were the main reasons for homelessness. Time on the street, gender, and drugs were associated with a negative correlation to be homeless; and age, mean daily income, the number of daily meals, having been in prison, and having an income source were associated with positive correlation.
