Communication at work: A survey to explore the relationships between healthcare providers' communication competence and professional quality of life in neonatal care. PEC INNOVATION 2024; 5:100341. [PMID: 39346773 PMCID: PMC11437867 DOI: 10.1016/j.pecinn.2024.100341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
Objective Providing medical care to preterm infants can be rewarding yet also stressful for healthcare providers in the neonatal care unit (NICU). While the impact of provider-parent communication on parent-related stress and satisfaction is widely accepted, little is known about the provider perspective. Therefore, this study explores the relationships between neonatal care providers' communicative competence and their professional quality of life and job satisfaction. Methods Using the NICU Communication Framework, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among N = 300 Dutch pediatricians‑neonatologists, nurses, and ancillary staff. Results Communication performance and providers' job satisfaction were correlated, particularly in terms of perceived quality of care, professional relationships, and personal rewards. When providers deemed communication important and perceived themselves as skilled communicators, job satisfaction increased. Experiencing sufficient time for conversations with parents was inversely correlated with provider fatigue and burn-out. Yet, providers reported insufficient opportunity for communication. Conclusion These results warrant reflection on the importance of communication in neonatal care, for the wellbeing of parents and providers alike. Innovation Focusing on the provider perspective, this study provides novel insights into the relationships between communication and outcomes of care. Our findings uniquely emphasize the power of communication to foster staff satisfaction and reduce burn-out in the NICU.

Abstract
Plagiarism is widely regarded as an issue of low- and middle-income countries because of several factors such as the lack of ethics policy and poor research training. In Morocco, plagiarism and its perception by academics has not been investigated on a large scale. In this study, we evaluated different aspects of plagiarism among scholars based on a 23-question cross-sectional survey. Factors associated with plagiarism were explored using contingency tables and logistic regression. The survey results covered all public universities (n=12) and included 1,220 recorded responses. The academic level was significantly associated with plagiarism (p<0.001). Having publication records was statistically associated with a reduced plagiarism (p=0.002). Notably, the ability of participants to correctly define plagiarism was also significantly associated with a reduced plagiarism misconduct (p<0.001). Unintentional plagiarism (p<0.001), time constraint to write an original text (p<0.001), and inability of participants to paraphrase (p<0.001) were associated factors with plagiarism. Moreover, participants that considered plagiarism as a serious issue in academic research had significantly committed less plagiarism (p<0.001). The current study showed that various actionable factors associated with plagiarism can be targeted by educational interventions, and therefore, it provided the rationale to build training programs on research integrity in Morocco.

Abstract
Objective This survey aims to understand frontline healthcare professionals' perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and assess how AI familiarity influences these perceptions. Materials and Methods We conducted a survey from February to March 2023 of physicians and physician assistants registered with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts. Participants rated their perceptions toward AI-related domains and constructs on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating stronger agreement. Two sub-groups were created for analysis to assess the impact of participants' familiarity and experience with AI on the survey results. Results From 532 respondents, key concerns were Perceived Communication Barriers (median = 4.0, IQR = 2.8-4.8), Unregulated Standards (median = 4.0, IQR = 3.6-4.8), and Liability Issues (median = 4.0, IQR = 3.5-4.8). Lower levels of agreement were noted for Trust in AI Mechanisms (median = 3.0, IQR = 2.2-3.4), Perceived Risks of AI (median = 3.2, IQR = 2.6-4.0), and Privacy Concerns (median = 3.3, IQR = 2.3-4.0). Positive correlations existed between Intention to use AI and Perceived Benefits (r = 0.825) and Trust in AI Mechanisms (r = 0.777). Perceived risk negatively correlated with Intention to Use AI (r = -0.718). There was no difference in perceptions between AI experienced and AI naïve subgroups. Discussion The findings suggest that perceptions of benefits, trust, risks, communication barriers, regulation, and liability issues influence healthcare professionals' intention to use AI, regardless of their AI familiarity. Conclusion The study highlights key factors affecting AI adoption in healthcare from the frontline healthcare professionals' perspective. These insights can guide strategies for successful AI implementation in healthcare.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the current practices surrounding Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) in Canada. Methods: An online survey was sent to Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology (CAIR) members. It included questions on symptoms prompting UFE, patient awareness, investigation, UFE settings, the number of UFE procedures, and post-UFE care. The findings were discussed at CAIR's 2023 annual meeting by an expert panel. Results: Out of 792 surveys sent, 87 were filled (11%). Menorrhagia is the most common indication for UFE (87%). Women's awareness of UFE as a treatment option for fibroids is viewed as poor or average by 94% of our survey respondents. Most respondents see patients in clinics (92%) before the procedure and evaluate fibroids with MRI pre-UFE (76%). There is variability in care post-UFE, with 33% of procedures being performed as day surgery while 67% lead to overnight stay. For pain management, intravenous analgesia (including patient-controlled analgesia) is used in 76% (63/83) of cases while 19% (16/83) of respondents mentioned using epidural analgesia. Finally, there is an even split between embolic agent used; non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol (50%) and spherical particles (50%). Conclusion: Respondents believe patients in Canada still have limited awareness of UFE. Interventional radiologists are increasingly involved in the entire patient care trajectory, overseeing pre-and post-procedure care and hospitalizing patients. For pain management after UFE, it is observed that while epidural analgesia has been demonstrated more effective than alternatives, it is not widely used as the primary method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess the periodontal health literacy of German adolescents, adults and senior residents. BACKGROUND The prevalence of periodontitis is high. One explanation for this may be that people lack periodontal health literacy (PHL). METHODS This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Former participants of the 5th German Oral Health Study (n = 333 16-year-olds, n = 307 39-48-year-olds, n = 332 69-78-year-olds) participated in a computer-assisted telephone interview. Open-ended questions (OEQs) were used to assess the participants' current knowledge. Corresponding single- and multiple-choice questions (SCQs and MCQs) supplemented the OEQs to allow detailed analyses of the nature of the knowledge gaps. RESULTS Less than 10% of the participants in the three age groups could explain the term 'periodontitis' or select the correct answer in an SCQ. Responding to the OEQs, 89% of 16-year olds, 64% of 39-48-year-olds, and 59% of 69-78-year-olds, could not name any consequence of periodontitis, and 83%, 51%, and 60%, respectively, could not name any risk factors. The OEQs regarding proper oral hygiene behaviour revealed that participants lacked awareness regarding important aspects of oral hygiene (e.g., systematics) or areas to which they should pay attention to (e.g., interdental spaces and gingival margins). CONCLUSIONS The survey revealed PHL deficits in German adolescents, adults, and seniors and a need for community-based measures to improve PHL in all age groups. Dental teams should be aware that their patients might lack the PHL necessary for understanding and adherence to professional dental advice, and that they might even lack PHL regarding the proper use of oral hygiene devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine self-reported code-status practice patterns among emergency clinicians from Japan and the U.S. METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed to emergency clinicians from one academic medical center and four general hospitals in Japan and two academic medical centers in the U.S. The questionnaire was based on a hypothetical case involving a critically ill patient with end-stage lung cancer. The questionnaire items assessed whether respondent clinicians would be likely to pose questions to patients about their preferences for medical procedures and their values and goals. RESULTS A total of 176 emergency clinicians from Japan and the U.S participated. After adjusting for participants' backgrounds, emergency clinicians in Japan were less likely to pose procedure-based questions than those in the U.S. Conversely, emergency clinicians in Japan showed a statistically higher likelihood of asking 10 out of 12 value-based questions. CONCLUSION Significant differences were found between emergency clinicians in Japan and the U.S. in their reported practices on posing procedure-based and patient value-based questions. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Serious illness communication training based in the U.S. must be adapted to the Japanese context, considering the cultural characteristics and practical responsibilities of Japanese emergency clinicians.

What attributes of digital devices are important to clinicians in rehabilitation? A cross-cultural best-worst scaling study. Int J Med Inform 2024; 191:105589. [PMID: 39137666 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2024.105589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital interventions are becoming increasingly popular in rehabilitation. Understanding of device features which impact clinician adoption and satisfaction is limited. Research in the field should be conducted across diverse settings to ensure digital interventions do not exacerbate healthcare inequities. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to understand rehabilitation clinicians' preferences regarding device attributes and included a cross-cultural comparison. MATERIALS AND METHODS Choice experiment methodology (best-worst scaling) was used to survey rehabilitation clinicians across Australia and Brazil. Participants completed 10 best-worst questions, choosing the most and least important device attributes from subsets of 31 attributes in a partially balanced block design. Results were analysed using multinomial models by country and latent class. Attribute preference scores (PS) were scaled to 0-100 (least to most important). RESULTS A total of 122 clinicians from Brazil and 104 clinicians from Australia completed the survey. Most respondents were physiotherapists (83%) working with neurological populations (51%) in the private/self-employed sector (51%) who had experience using rehabilitation devices (87%). Despite preference heterogeneity across country and work sector (public/not-for-profit versus private/self-employed/other), clinicians consistently prioritised patient outcomes (PS 100.0, 95%CI: 86.2-100.0), patient engagement (PS 93.9, 95%CI: 80.6-94.2), usability (PS 81.3, 95%CI: 68.8-82.5), research evidence (PS 80.4, 95%CI: 68.1-81.7) and risk (PS 75.7, 95%CI: 63.8-77.3). In Australia, clinicians favoured device attributes which facilitate increased therapy dosage (PS 79.2, 95%CI: 62.6-81.1) and encourage patient independent practice (PS 66.8, 95%CI: 52.0-69.2). In Brazil, clinicians preferred attributes enabling device use for providing clinical data (PS 67.6, 95%CI: 51.8-70.9) and conducting clinical assessments (PS 65.6, 95%CI: 50.2-68.8). CONCLUSION Clinicians prioritise patients' needs and practical application over technical aspects of digital rehabilitation devices. Contextual factors shape clinician preferences rather than individual clinician characteristics. Future device design and research should consider preferences and influences, involving diverse stakeholders to account for context-driven variations across cultures and healthcare settings.

Abstract
Background In the digital age, social networking sites (SNSs) have revolutionized the approach to parenting. These platforms, widely used to access parenting information and support, affect parents both positively and negatively, with negative effects potentially increasing for those experiencing loneliness or anxiety. Objective This study examined the relationship between SNS use and psychological distress among parents of young children, controlling for the moderating effects of loneliness and parenting anxiety. We hypothesized that higher SNS use correlates to greater psychological distress, particularly among parents with elevated levels of loneliness or parenting anxiety. Methods A cross-sectional survey design using a closed web-based questionnaire was employed. Participants included 429 parents (205 mothers and 224 fathers) of children aged 0-3 years recruited through a web-based survey company in Japan. The majority of the participants were couples, with some living with extended family members. The sample also encompassed individuals in cohabiting partnerships and single parents. The survey included measures of psychological distress, loneliness, parenting anxiety, frequency of SNS use for parenting, and covariates. Analytical models to explain psychological distress included interactions between loneliness or parenting anxiety and SNS use, individually for both fathers and mothers. Results For mothers, a significant interaction effect was determined only between parenting anxiety and SNS use (b=0.247, SE 0.091; P=.008). Meanwhile, for fathers, significant interaction effects were observed for both loneliness (b=0.324, SE 0.127; P=.012) and parenting anxiety (b=0.144, SE 0.069; P=.038) with SNS use. A simple slope analysis for mothers indicated that SNS use was related to psychological distress only at higher levels of parenting anxiety (b=0.304, SE 0.090, β=.317; P<.001). Among fathers, SNS use was associated with psychological distress at higher levels of either parenting anxiety (b=0.330, SE 0.069, β=.346; P<.001) or loneliness (b=0.390, SE 0.098, β=.409; P<.001). Conclusions The study concluded that the relationship between SNS use and psychological distress among parents of young children is moderated by loneliness and parenting anxiety. The findings highlight the need for tailored approaches to help parents manage SNS use, particularly focusing on those with higher levels of loneliness and parenting anxiety. It is imperative that health professionals provide nuanced guidance to parents on SNS use, considering individual psychological factors and potential gender differences in the impact of SNSs on mental well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surveys are increasingly used in neurointervention to gauge physicians' and patients' attitudes, practice patterns, and 'real-world' treatment strategies, particularly in conditions for which few, or no evidence-based, recommendations exist. While survey-based studies can provide valuable insights into real-world problems and management strategies, there is an inherent risk of bias. OBJECTIVE To assess key themes, sample characteristics, response metrics, and report frequencies of quality indicators of neurointerventional surveys. METHODS A systematic review compliant with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was performed. The PubMed database was searched for neurointerventional surveys published between 2000 and 2023. Survey topics, design, respondent characteristics, and survey quality criteria suggested by the Consensus-Based Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies (CROSS) were assessed and described using descriptive statistics. Response rates and numbers of participants were further assessed for their dependence on sample characteristics and survey methodologies. RESULTS A total of 122 surveys were included in this analysis. The number of surveys published each year increased steeply between 2000 (n=1) and 2023 (n=14). The most common survey topics were stroke (51/122, 41.8%) and aneurysm treatment (49/122, 40.2%). The median response rate was 58.5% (IQR=30.4-86.3), with a median number of respondents of 79 (IQR=50-201). Sixty-eight of 122 (55.7%) surveys published the questionnaire used for data collection. Only a subset of studies reported response rates (n=89, 73%), data collection time period (n=91, 74.6%), and strategies to prevent duplicate responses (n=57, 46.7%). CONCLUSION Surveys are increasingly used by neurointerventional researchers, particularly to assess real-world practice patterns in endovascular stroke and aneurysm treatment. Adapting best-practice guidelines like the CROSS checklist might improve homogeneity and quality in neurointerventional survey research.

Abstract
PURPOSE School-based telefacilitators are critical yet underresearched members of telepractice programs. They are the face of the telepractice program and are often telepractice champions in their communities. However, we have little research explaining the typical profile of telefacilitators, making it more difficult to identify personnel characteristics that contribute to the implementation of sustainable telepractice programs. The purpose of this study was to describe the typical profile and preparation of school-based telefacilitators for physical, occupational, and speech therapy in the United States. METHOD A cross-sectional survey gathered 21 telefacilitator responses about their primary job title, preparation, confidence, and basic demographics. Survey recruitment followed an adaptive sampling method with three phases: stratified random sampling, purposive sampling, and targeted convenience sampling. Results were analyzed using frequency counts and descriptive statistics where appropriate. RESULTS Most respondents held the primary job title of paraprofessional, but a diverse range of titles were reported, including superintendents and directors of special education. Half of the respondents received various methods of formal training for the role, whereas the other half were self-taught. Overall levels of confidence in job performance were high, yet self-taught telefacilitators felt that lack of training negatively impacted their performance. Most respondents had a bachelor's degree or higher. CONCLUSIONS There is a high degree of variability in the profile and preparation of telefacilitators. Inconsistency in terminology and lack of agreed-upon job responsibilities are significant barriers to studying the role of telefacilitators and the ability to plan telepractice staffing needs adequately. Clinical implications and opportunities for future investigation are highlighted. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.27115216.

Abstract
Rapid economic growth in Indonesia and Malaysia has widened the gap in emergency care supply and demand, intensifying challenges. Our study, from August to November 2022, assesses current diverse challenges in both countries' emergency care systems from frontline staff perspectives. The online survey involved emergency department (ED) personnel from 11 hospitals in Indonesia and Malaysia, drawing from an existing network. The survey collected data on respondents' characteristics, factors affecting prehospital and ED care quality, missing clinical information, and factors influencing patients' ED stay duration. With 83 respondents from Indonesia and 109 from Malaysia, the study identified common challenges. In both countries, inadequate clinical information from ambulances posed a primary challenge in prehospital care quality, while crowdedness during night shifts affected ED care quality. Frequent gaps in essential clinical information, such as family and medication history, were observed. Prolonged ED stays were associated with diagnostic studies and their turnaround time. This study offers insights into shared challenges in Indonesia and Malaysia's emergency care systems. Our findings stress recognizing common and country-specific challenges for enhanced emergency care quality in Southeast Asia, supporting tailored interventions.

Abstract
Malaria Consortium supports delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children ages 3-59 months using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was adapted as a cost-efficient method for end-of-cycle SMC monitoring surveys across supported countries and an implementation challenges reporting system was established in Nigeria. We present a case study of its application in Nasarawa State. LQAS facilitated timely local performance assessment across 16 indicators. Development of new reporting tools has played a key role in stimulating national-level discussions on improvements to SMC supervisory processes and implementer training and provided a framework for engagement with local stakeholders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients undergoing thoracic surgery commonly receive perioperative physio-therapy, typically consisting of education, mobilization, breathing exercises, and mobility exercises. To date, no study has described physiotherapy practice for patients undergoing thoracic surgery in Sweden. PURPOSE To investigate physiotherapy interventions for patients undergoing thoracic surgery in Sweden. METHODS All physiotherapists currently working in thoracic surgery units in Sweden (n = 8) were eligible to participate. A survey was e-mailed to the physiotherapists, to determine physiotherapy interventions offered to patients undergoing thoracoscopy or open thoracic surgery. Of 21 physiotherapists, 13 (62%) responded, representing seven hospitals. RESULTS Physiotherapists reported routinely providing preoperative education and postoperative treatment for all patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Breathing exercises and mobilization were usually initiated on the day of surgery or the first postoperative day. Common treatments were deep breathing exercises, with or without positive expiratory pressure, and airway clearance techniques. Upper limb and shoulder exercises were typically initiated on the first or second day after surgery. The most important factor reported to influence treatment choice was personal experience of the attending physiotherapist. No routine post-discharge rehabilitation was provided. CONCLUSION Physiotherapists in Sweden reported routinely treating patients scheduled for thoracic surgery, both pre and postoperatively. Prehabilitation or post-discharge rehabilitation was not routinely provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The environmental impact of endoscopy, including small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE), is a topic of growing attention and concern. This study aimed to evaluate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (kgCO2) generated by an SBCE procedure. METHODS Life cycle assessment methodology (ISO 14040) was used to evaluate three brands of SBCE device and included emissions generated by patient travel, bowel preparation, capsule examination, and video recording. A survey of 87 physicians and 120 patients was conducted to obtain data on travel, activities undertaken during the procedure, and awareness of environmental impacts. RESULTS The capsule itself (4 g) accounted for < 6 % of the total product weight. Packaging (43-119 g) accounted for 9 %-97 % of total weight, and included deactivation magnets (5 g [4 %-6 %]) and paper instructions (11-50 g [up to 40 %]). A full SBCE procedure generated approximately 20 kgCO2, with 0.04 kgCO2 (0.2 %) attributable to the capsule itself and 18 kgCO2 (94.7 %) generated by patient travel. Capsule retrieval using a dedicated device would add 0.98 kgCO2 to the carbon footprint. Capsule deconstruction revealed materials (e. g. neodymium) that are prohibited from environmental disposal; 76 % of patients were not aware of the illegal nature of capsule disposal via wastewater, and 63 % would have been willing to retrieve it. The carbon impact of data storage and capsule reading was negligible. CONCLUSION The carbon footprint of SBCE is mainly determined by patient travel. The capsule device itself has a relatively low carbon footprint. Given that disposal of capsule components via wastewater is illegal, retrieval of the capsule is necessary but would likely be associated with an increase in device-related emissions.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108585.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical de-escalation aims to reduce morbidity without compromising oncological outcomes. Trials to de-escalate breast cancer (BC) surgery among exceptional responders after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) are ongoing. Combined patient and clinician insights on this strategy are unknown. METHODS The European Society of Surgical Oncology Young Surgeons Alumni Club (EYSAC) performed an online survey to evaluate the perspective of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) on omission of surgery ("no surgery") following complete response to NST for early BC. The aim was to identify MDT considerations and perceived barriers to omission of BC surgery. Patient insights were obtained through a focused group discussion (FGD) with four members of the patient advocacy group, Guiding Researchers and Advocates to Scientific Partnerships (GRASP). RESULTS The MDT survey had 248 responses, with 229 included for analysis. Criteria for a "no surgery" approach included: patient's tumor and nodal status before (39.7 %) and after (45.9 %) NST and comorbidities (44.3 %). The majority chose standard surgery for hypothetical cases with a complete response to NST. Barriers for implementation were lack of definitive trials (55.9 %), "no surgery" not being discussed in MDTs (28.8 %) and lack of essential diagnostic or therapeutic options (24 %). Patients expressed communication gaps about BC surgery, lack of trust regarding accuracy of imaging, fear of regret and psychosocial burden of choosing less extensive surgery. CONCLUSIONS Before accepting "no surgery" after complete response to NST, MDTs and patients need level 1 evidence from clinical trials, access to standard diagnostic modalities and treatments. Patient's fear of regretting less surgery need to be acknowledged and addressed.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to gather insights from elbow experts using the Delphi method to evaluate the influence of patient characteristics and fracture morphology on the choice between operative and nonoperative treatment for coronoid fractures. Methods A three-round electronic (e-)modified Delphi survey study was performed between March and December 2023. A total of 55 elbow surgeons from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America participated, with 48 completing all questionnaires (87%). The panellists evaluated the factors identified as important in literature for treatment decision-making, using a Likert scale ranging from "strongly influences me to recommend nonoperative treatment" (1) to "strongly influences me to recommend operative treatment" (5). Factors achieving Likert scores ≤ 2.0 or ≥ 4.0 were deemed influential for treatment recommendation. Stable consensus is defined as an agreement of ≥ 80% in the second and third rounds. Results Of 68 factors considered important in the literature for treatment choice for coronoid fractures, 18 achieved a stable consensus to be influential. Influential factors with stable consensus that advocate for operative treatment were being a professional athlete, playing overhead sports, a history of subjective dislocation or subluxation during trauma, open fracture, crepitation with range of movement, > 2 mm opening during varus stress on radiological imaging, and having an anteromedial facet or basal coronoid fracture (O'Driscoll type 2 or 3). An anterolateral coronoid tip fracture ≤ 2 mm was the only influential factor with a stable consensus that advocates for nonoperative treatment. Most disagreement existed regarding the treatment for the terrible triad injury with an anterolateral coronoid tip fracture fragment ≤ 2 mm (O'Driscoll type 1 subtype 1). Conclusion This study gives insights into areas of consensus among surveyed elbow surgeons in choosing between operative and nonoperative management of coronoid fractures. These findings should be used in conjunction with previous patient cohort studies when discussing treatment options with patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE Advanced practice physiotherapy roles (Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners [APPs] and First Contact Physiotherapists [FCPs]) are pivotal in supporting patients to manage their musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. Having a greater understanding of how decisions are made by these practitioners will inform competency frameworks and improve the provision of patient-centred care. AIM To evaluate the current knowledge, views and use of shared decision-making in MSK advanced physiotherapy practice in the United Kingdom. METHODS A cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire was used to collect demographic information, knowledge, views and self-reported use of shared decision-making (SDM) of APPs and FCPs who work with adults with MSK disorders in the United Kingdom. RESULTS Responses from 49 participants (25 APPs and 24 FCPs) were included in the study. In total, 80% of participants had received SDM training and overall high levels of knowledge were shown. Only 12% of participants used a communication model to facilitate SDM. In total, 80% of participants reported making decisions together with the patient either always or most of the time. FCPs favoured a more patient-led approach to decision-making compared to APPs who favoured collaborative decision-making. The most commonly reported barriers to SDM included lack of time, lack of patient education resources, lack of access to patient decision aids and treatment pathway restrictions. CONCLUSIONS The responses in this study showed that overall APPs and FCPs have good knowledge of SDM and report routine use of collaborative and patient-led decision-making approaches.

Sobieraj DM, Chen AMH, Luciano JL, Bechtol RA, Kelsch MP. Exploring Tools to Manage Curricular Content and Overload Within the Professional PharmD Program. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION 2024; 88:101276. [PMID: 39214314 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpe.2024.101276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Given recent discussions in the literature and across the Academy about curricular overload and calls for tools that aid in reducing content, it is important to determine what tools and resources programs are using to evaluate curricular content and how these resources are used to inform curricular change. Thus, the objective of this research project is to describe tools and resources pharmacy programs use for curricular content and change. METHODS A 17-item instrument was created, pilot-tested, and then distributed electronically to assessment leads at accredited pharmacy programs with multiple reminders to improve response rates. The instrument covered various tools for pharmacotherapy, foundational sciences, social and administrative sciences (SAS), and top 200/300 medications. Respondents provided information related to the study objectives, and data were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS With a 51% response rate, programs commonly used, and rated most helpful, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit to inform curricular prioritization. Programs indicated they did not have comparable resources commonly used for determining curricular content related to foundational sciences, SAS, and top 200/300 medications. CONCLUSIONS Established tools, such as the ACCP Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit, are helpful in selecting curricular topics, but additional guidance is needed to optimize its usefulness in managing curricular overload. Developing toolkits for foundational sciences, SAS, and top 200/300 medications is necessary to provide similar guidance for the Academy.

Hamadeh S, Lambert GW, Willetts G, Garvey L. Pain management of adult sedated and ventilated patients in the intensive care units: A survey with free text responses. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024; 84:103770. [PMID: 39032213 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2024.103770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain management of sedated and ventilated patients in intensive care units lacks consistency. OBJECTIVES To investigate nurses' training, governance, practices, knowledge and attitudes relating to pain management in consideration of published guidelines and explore nurses' perspectives. METHODS A survey design, using an online questionnaire with free text responses, was employed. Quantitative and qualitative data from nurses working across different hospitals were collated and saved on Qualtrics platform. Quantitative data were analysed non-parametrically and narrative responses thematically. CROSS and SRQR reporting guidelines were adhered to. OUTCOME MEASURES Demographics, training, governance, clinical practice, knowledge, and attitudes. RESULTS/FINDINGS 108 nurses participated with ninety-two completed surveys analysed. Analgesia was used to complete nursing tasks regardless of comfort needs (n = 49, 53.3 %). Changes in vital signs prompted opioid administration (n = 48, 52.1 %). Choice of analgesia depended on doctor's preference (n = 63, 68.5 %). Non-opioid therapy was administered before opioids (n = 42, 45.7 %). Sedatives were used to alleviate agitation(n = 50,54.3 %). No statistically significant difference in nurses' knowledge existed between hospitals. Weak positive relationship: r = [0.081], p = [0.441] between "knowledge scores" and "years of ICU experience" and weak negative relationship r = [-0.119], p = [0.260] between "knowledge scores" and "hours of clinical practice" was detected. Lack of training, resources, policies, high patient acuity and casual employment were acknowledged barriers to pain management. Two overarching themes emerged from narrative responses: "Pain assessment, where is it?" And "Priorities of critical illness." CONCLUSION The study uncovered pain management situation and examined nurses' demographics, training, governance, practices, knowledge and attitudes. Narrative responses highlighted barriers to pain management. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Health organisations should provide education, institute governance and develop policies to inform pain management. Nurses' role encompasses updating knowledge, adhering to interventions and overcoming biases. This subsequently manifests as improvement in patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Physiotherapists provide non-pharmacological conservative treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) using a wide spectrum of interventions. Previous surveys have identified global physiotherapy OA management practices. However, no review to date summarises the scope and findings of these studies. This article describes a scoping review protocol to map the surveys investigating physiotherapeutic interventions offered to patients with OA to identify the treatment interventions currently used for OA, the physiotherapists' attributes and organisational practice factors potentially associated with the choice of these interventions and to detect knowledge-practice gaps in the provision of physiotherapeutic interventions in OA treatment, contributing to guiding future research on this topic. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a protocol for a scoping review that will be based on Arksey and O'Malley scoping review methodology and the methodological guidance for conducting scoping reviews published by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Relevant articles will be searched using the following databases: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Surveys studies addressing physiotherapeutic interventions offered to patients with OA will be included. Study will be selected through title/abstract and full-text screening stages and data will be extracted using an instrument based on the model available in the JBI Manual. The findings will be summarised using descriptive statistics according to our research questions. This review will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review. Review findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, scientific conference presentations and scientific meetings. STUDY REGISTRATION This protocol has been registered with the Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/J3RBT).

Br J Cancer 2024; 131:1202-1211.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trials assessing the clinical utility of blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are underway. Understanding public attitudes towards MCED screening is essential if these tests are to be used. We aimed to quantify MCED screening intention and potential barriers and facilitators to uptake. METHODS Adults aged 50-77 (n = 958) completed an online survey. The primary outcome was intention to have MCED screening if offered. Psychological variables including barriers and facilitators were assessed. We used logistic regressions to explore associations between socio-demographics and psychological factors and intention. RESULTS 93.8% of participants said they would 'definitely' or 'probably' have MCED screening if offered. Intention was significantly associated with previous screening participation and general cancer attitudes but not with socio-demographic factors. Participants were more likely to be intenders if they had higher health motivation, and perceived greater benefits of blood tests. Participants were less likely to be intenders if they perceived greater disadvantages of blood tests, more practical barriers, were more worried about the outcome and more concerned about a positive result. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS MCED screening intention was high. The lack of socio-demographic variation suggests equitable interest in this type of screening; however, future research should consider how intention translates to uptake.

Views of research ethics committee members on end-of-participation communications for trial participants who stop taking part: a cross-sectional survey study. Trials 2024; 25:636. [PMID: 39350253 PMCID: PMC11440916 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-024-08465-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 09/16/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Giving information to trial participants who stop taking part could support them through what can be a difficult process. We previously developed guidance around the ethical acceptability of such information provision, and about how trialists can develop suitable communication materials. There is limited evidence about what research ethics committees think of this issue, and limited guidance about what level of oversight they should have over the proposed communications, or post-consent participant communications generally. We conducted a survey of UK ethics committee members to address these points. METHODS The survey was co-developed by public contributors and trialists who had previously worked together on the communications guidance. We asked respondents if they agreed with the general idea of informing participants who stop taking part, if they had ever been requested to review similar communications, and what level of ethics committee review they might recommend. The survey was primarily conducted online. It was reviewed by three ethics committee members before finalisation and shared directly with all UK ethics committee members. We analysed quantitative questions descriptively and used inductive analysis for open questions to identify common themes. RESULTS Ninety-one ethics committee members participated (nearly 10% of all UK members). The sample was similar to reported data about all members in terms of several personal characteristics. Most respondents (83%) agreed with our project's rationale. Only 23% of respondents reported having been asked to review an end-of-participation information sheet before. Respondents gave various answers about the level of ethics committee review required, but most supported a relatively proportionate review process. Common concerns were about the risk of coercion or making participants feel pressured. CONCLUSIONS Our survey suggests that ethics committee members generally support providing information to trial participants who stop taking part, if risks to participants are mitigated. We believe our guidance already addresses the main concerns raised. Our respondents' lack of prior experience with end-of-participation information sheets suggests that participants are not getting information they want or need when they stop participating. Our results help clarify how ethics committee should oversee post-consent participant communications, but further guidance from research regulators could be helpful.

Clinicians' attitudes towards supplemental oxygen for trauma patients - A survey. Injury 2024:111929. [PMID: 39379198 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2024.111929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/24/2024] [Indexed: 10/10/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines (ATLS; 2018, 10th ed.) recommend an early and liberal supplemental oxygen for all severely injured trauma patients to prevent hypoxaemia. As of 2024, these guidelines remain the most current. This may lead to hyperoxaemia, which has been associated with increased mortality and respiratory complications. We aimed to investigate the attitudes among clinicians, defined as physicians and prehospital personnel, towards the use of supplemental oxygen in trauma cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A European, web-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted consisting of 23 questions. The primary outcome was the question: "In your opinion, should all severely injured trauma patients always be given supplemental oxygen, regardless of arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry?". RESULTS The survey was answered by 707 respondents, which corresponded to a response rate of 52 %. The respondents were predominantly male (76 %), with the largest representation from Denmark (82 %), and primarily educated as physicians (62 %). A majority of respondents (73 % [95 % CI: 70 to 76 %]) did not support that supplemental oxygen should always be provided to all severely injured trauma patients without consideration of their arterial oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2), with no significant difference between physicians and non-physicians (p = 0.08). Based on the respondents' preferred dosages, the median initial administered dosage of supplemental oxygen for spontaneously breathing trauma patients with a normal SpO2 in the first few hours after trauma was 0 (interquartile range [IQR] 0-3) litres per minute, with 58 % of respondents opting not to provide any supplemental oxygen. The lowest acceptable SpO2 goal in the first few hours after trauma was 94 % (IQR 92-95). In clinical scenarios with TBI, higher dosage of supplemental oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) were preferred, as well as targeting partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood as opposed to adjusting the FiO2 directly, compared to no TBI. CONCLUSION Almost three out of four clinicians did not support the administration of supplemental oxygen to all severely injured trauma patients, regardless of SpO2. This corresponds to a more restrictive approach than recommended in the current ATLS (2018, 10th ed.) guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Explore attitudes and practices of Australian professionals using ankle taping or bracing for the management and prevention of lateral ankle sprains. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Anonymous online survey. PARTICIPANTS Australian healthcare or athletic workers, registered with an official governing body, involved in the management and/or prevention of lateral ankle sprains. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Quantitative data was collected from 20 close-ended questions. Qualitative data from 14 open-ended questions were categorized into topics using inductive thematic analysis. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and presented in figures and tabular format. RESULTS A total 160 respondents answered the survey; the majority were podiatrists (42.5%), physiotherapists (23%), or sports/athletic trainers (13.8%). Ankle supports were overwhelmingly recommended and considered to be effective in the management (95% and 89% bracing and taping, respectively) and prevention (96% and 92% bracing and taping, respectively) of lateral ankle sprains. For management, semi-rigid brace with straps (26%) and figure eight taping technique (42%) were the most frequently used. For prevention, the most commonly used were soft brace with straps (30%) and the figure eight taping technique (37%). CONCLUSIONS Australian professionals expressed a positive attitude towards using ankle supports in the management and prevention of lateral ankle sprains.

[PMID: 39341043 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2024.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024]
Abstract
There is no multi-country/multi-language study testing a-priori multivariable associations between non-modifiable/modifiable factors and validated wellbeing/multidimensional mental health outcomes before/during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, studies during COVID-19 pandemic generally do not report on representative/weighted non-probability samples. The Collaborative Outcomes study on Health and Functioning during Infection Times (COH-FIT) is a multi-country/multi-language survey conducting multivariable/LASSO-regularized regression models and network analyses to identify modifiable/non-modifiable factors associated with wellbeing (WHO-5)/composite psychopathology (P-score) change. It enrolled general population-representative/weighted-non-probability samples (26/04/2020-19/06/2022). Participants included 121,066 adults (age=42±15.9 years, females=64 %, representative sample=29 %) WHO-5/P-score worsened (SMD=0.53/SMD=0.74), especially initially during the pandemic. We identified 15 modifiable/nine non-modifiable risk and 13 modifiable/three non-modifiable protective factors for WHO-5, 16 modifiable/11 non-modifiable risk and 10 modifiable/six non-modifiable protective factors for P-score. The 12 shared risk/protective factors with highest centrality (network-analysis) were, for non-modifiable factors, country income, ethnicity, age, gender, education, mental disorder history, COVID-19-related restrictions, urbanicity, physical disorder history, household room numbers and green space, and socioeconomic status. For modifiable factors, we identified medications, learning, internet, pet-ownership, working and religion as coping strategies, plus pre-pandemic levels of stress, fear, TV, social media or reading time, and COVID-19 information. In multivariable models, for WHO-5, additional non-modifiable factors with |B|>1 were income loss, COVID-19 deaths. For modifiable factors we identified pre-pandemic levels of social functioning, hobbies, frustration and loneliness, and social interactions as coping strategy. For P-scores, additional non-modifiable/modifiable factors were income loss, pre-pandemic infection fear, and social interactions as coping strategy. COH-FIT identified vulnerable sub-populations and actionable individual/environmental factors to protect well-being/mental health during crisis times. Results inform public health policies, and clinical practice.

Limitations and perspectives of the novel salivary test for endometriosis: an open web-based survey study of German gynecologic healthcare providers. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2024:10.1007/s00404-024-07601-3. [PMID: 39327299 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-024-07601-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The description of a salivary miRNA signature for endometriosis has led to the development of a non-invasive diagnostic test. Current healthcare provider practices regarding the test remain uncaptured. The application of this test in practice was examined in a web-based survey, with the aim to provide their opinions on it. METHODS We conducted an open web-based survey study between November 2023 and January 2024. Members of the German society of gynecologic endoscopy (Arbeitsgemeinschaft gynäkologische Endoskopie, AGE), society of endometriosis (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Endometriose, AGEM), and the endometriosis research foundation (Stiftung Endometriose Forschung, SEF) were contacted per e-mail twice. Participants' data were anonymized. Differences in responses based on self-reported expertise in the field (basic knowledge, specialized knowledge, expert) were assessed using the χ2-test or Fisher's exact test. Statistical significance was set as p < 0.05. RESULTS In total 141 of 190 respondents completely responded to the survey (> 75% of the questions of the survey). Twenty-one physicians reported having experience with the test, while most participants had at least specialized knowledge on the field (112/141). In terms of specific questions, more than 90% found the costs high; almost 85% did not believe that the test replaces standard diagnostic tools (histology, clinical examination, and sonography). Eighty-six providers supported the use of the test in adolescents. Gynecologists with basic knowledge had a more positive attitude compared with more experienced ones in terms of usefulness (Fisher's exact test, p < 0.001). Significant differences were demonstrated between expertise groups regarding (not only) applicability in adolescents (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.004), and using the test for screening purposes (χ2-test, p = 0.002). DISCUSSION Despite the promising benefits of a salivary test for endometriosis, German healthcare providers would not change current practices. Nevertheless, less experienced colleagues were more positive towards the test.

Predictors of climate change literacy in the era of global boiling: a cross-sectional survey of Egyptian nursing students. BMC Nurs 2024; 23:676. [PMID: 39322950 PMCID: PMC11425957 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-024-02315-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Climate changes have led to health and environmental risks, so it has become essential to measure climate change literacy among the entire population, especially nursing students. The significant role of nursing students in raising public awareness and future healthcare roles emphasizes assessing the predictors of climate change literacy among nursing students. AIMS This study seeks to identify the predictors of climate change literacy among nursing students in A Multi-Site Survey. DESIGN A multi-site descriptive cross-sectional study adheres to the guidelines outlined in A Consensus-Based Checklist for Reporting Survey Studies collected for five months, from the 1st of July 2023 to November 2023. The study participants comprise 10,084 nursing students from all 27 governments in Egypt. The researcher used the Predictors of Nursing Students' Climate Change Literacy scale in this study. Data was collected, with 25 min average time to complete. Backward multiple linear regression was used to identify these predictors. RESULTS In the current study, nursing students demonstrated a moderate understanding of climate science (mean score 14.38), communication and advocacy skills (mean score 14.41), and knowledge of adaptation and mitigation strategies (mean score 13.33). Climate health impacts (mean score 17.72) emerged as the domain with the highest level of knowledge. No significant differences in climate literacy were observed across diverse student backgrounds (all p-values were > 0.05). Perceived faculty knowledge of climate change positively correlated with all four domains of climate literacy and emerged as a significant predictor in multiple linear regression analyses (all p-values were < 0.001). IMPLICATION While our findings highlight significant predictors of climate literacy, it is essential to recognize that these results identify associations rather than causal relationships. Based on these associations, it is recommended that nursing professionals be equipped with comprehensive knowledge of climate adaptation strategies to better advocate for and implement effective public health measures.

Objective This study aimed to contribute to local research evidence to promote the implementation of plain packaging of tobacco products in the Philippines. The study aimed to assess Filipinos' perception of the effectiveness of plain packaging and their readiness by assessing the potential impact of plain packaging. Methods We conducted a nationwide geographically representative online panel survey with a sample size of 2,000 Filipinos. The survey recruited respondents 18-65 years old and residing in the Philippines, with 500 respondents each from the National Capital Region, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. We showed respondents six different mock-ups of cigarette packs in plain packaging, with two sizes of graphic health warnings (50 and 75%) and three plain packaging colors (black, white, and Pantone 448C). Using five-point Likert scales, participants rated their agreement with 18 items assessing readiness and rationales for plain packaging and 54 items related to pack design (9 items for 6 pack designs). Results The study showed that Filipinos recognize the value of adopting plain packaging with larger graphic health warning labels on tobacco products in the Philippines. Both non-smokers and smokers agreed that plain packaging has the potential to reduce the attractiveness and appeal of packs, prevent advertisement and promotion of tobacco products, reduce the ability of tobacco products to mislead consumers, increase the noticeability and effectiveness of the pictorial health warnings, increase recall of the pictorial health warnings, affect consumer perceptions of the attractiveness of the tobacco products and their relative safety, reduce youth experimentation with the use of tobacco products, prevent the use of tobacco brand variants as a promotional tool, prevent branding targeted toward youth, promote quitting among current users, and to more clearly inform consumers about the harmful effects of tobacco use. Conclusion We recommend that policymakers pursue plain packaging as legislation or as part of a reform of the Philippines' graphic health warnings law. The law should target tobacco products sold in the Philippines.

Changes in Attitudes towards Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination during the Subsiding COVID-19 Pandemic-Results of a Longitudinal Survey Study among Risk Groups in Germany between 2021 and 2023. Vaccines (Basel) 2024; 12:1080. [PMID: 39340110 PMCID: PMC11435497 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines12091080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In many countries, an increase in influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined how attitude, risk perception and knowledge towards influenza and pneumococcal vaccines of at-risk patients developed when the COVID-19 pandemic subsided and if COVID-19 vaccination attitude (VA) was still associated with the attitudes towards the two other vaccines. METHODS We used longitudinal data from two surveys conducted in Germany in 2021 and 2023 among persons with chronic diseases. We assessed VA, risk perception, vaccination knowledge and further psychological determinants of vaccine acceptance. Structural equation modelling using full information maximum likelihood was used to estimate multivariate regressions with planned missing data. RESULTS Among 543 respondents, the influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates remained relatively stable between 2021 and 2023. VA also remained unchanged at a moderately positive level, while COVID-19 VA decreased. A constantly positive association between COVID-19 VA and influenza as well as pneumococcal VA was found, independent from a general VA. The perceived danger of influenza increased between 2021 and 2023 and was among the strongest predictors of influenza VA. CONCLUSIONS Also at the subsiding pandemic, COVID-19 VA was constantly associated with the influenza and pneumococcal VA. It seems sensible to take these aspects into account when designing future vaccination campaigns for at-risk patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION DRKS00024561. Registered 9 March 2021.

Associations Between Demographic Factors, Clinical Variables, Social Determinants of Health, Vaccine Hesitancy, Vaccine Behavior, and Revaccination Status: A Survey of Adult HCT Survivors in the United States. Transplant Cell Ther 2024:S2666-6367(24)00665-1.

Abstract
Comprehensive survivorship care after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) includes revaccination to restore immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). There is complexity to revaccination in this setting, and revaccination rates are sub-optimal. HCT survivors are at high-risk for morbidity and mortality from infections including VPDs, underscoring the importance of interventions to improve revaccination rates among survivors. Determining associations between survivor characteristics and revaccination uptake may guide interventions. The overall study objective was to advance our understanding of factors influencing revaccination uptake among adult HCT survivors living in the United States The specific study aims were to: (1) determine the prevalence of adult survivors who are completely, partially, or not revaccinated at 2 to 8 years after HCT and (2) examine associations between demographic variables, social determinants of health, clinical variables, past vaccination behaviors, vaccine hesitancy (Vaccination Confidence Scale), and revaccination status in adult HCT survivors. This study employed a one-time cross-sectional revaccination survey of adults who were surviving 2 to 8 years after HCT and living in the United States. The survey was sent to eligible survivors in the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Long-term Follow-up research cohort. The point prevalence of revaccination outcomes was determined from all the respondents (n = 338), differences in intent to revaccinate for people not yet fully revaccinated were explored using Fisher's exact test (n = 126), and associations were examined between revaccination outcomes and predictors using multivariable logistic regression (n = 292). Survey response rate was 30%. Among respondents, 62% were completely revaccinated, 33% were partially revaccinated, and 4% were not revaccinated. Most respondents (77%) who were not yet fully revaccinated planned to complete the revaccination protocol. However, fewer not-revaccinated respondents than partially revaccinated respondents planned to complete revaccination (50% versus 80%, P = .032). Factors associated with incomplete revaccination were shorter time from HCT, inadequate immune reconstitution, and not having received all childhood vaccines as a child. Our analysis has identified multiple variables associated with revaccination outcomes, indicating the potential for interventions to enhance post-HCT revaccination rates. Since many survivors cannot be revaccinated promptly due to delayed immune recovery, clinicians should iteratively re-evaluate for revaccination readiness as long as it takes to ensure eventual revaccination. Broader efforts by the healthcare community to increase childhood vaccine uptake might eventually support revaccination uptake. Future research that builds on these findings should focus on intervention testing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Language sample analysis (LSA) provides many benefits for assessing, identifying therapy goals, and monitoring the progress of children with language disorders. Despite these widely recognized advantages, previous surveys suggest the declining use of LSA by speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This study aimed to provide updates on clinical LSA use following the recent introduction of two new LSA protocols, namely, the Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised (SUGAR) protocol and the Computerized Language Analysis KIDEVAL program. METHOD Survey data from SLPs practicing in the United States (N = 337) were used to examine rates of LSA use, methods, and protocols. Factors predicting LSA use and reported facilitators and barriers were also examined. RESULTS Results indicated that 60% of SLPs used LSA in the past year. LSA skill level, training, and serving preschool or elementary school children predicted LSA use, whereas workplace, caseload, and years of experience were not significant predictors. Most SLPs reported using self-designed LSA protocols (62%), followed by Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (23%) and SUGAR (12%) protocols. SLPs who did not use LSA reported limited time (74%), limited resources (59%), and limited expertise (41%) as barriers and identified additional training on LSA computer programs (52%) and access to automatic speech recognition programs (49%) as facilitators to their adoption of LSA. CONCLUSIONS Reported rates of LSA use and methods were consistent with previous survey findings. This study's findings highlight the ongoing needs for more extensive preprofessional training in LSA.

Abstract
Interprofessional collaboration in outpatient palliative care is critical to ensuring good quality of care in the home care sector. We investigated facilitators and barriers (FaBs) of interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals who participated in a 6-month pilot of a newly implemented specialised mobile palliative care service (SMPCS) in rural Lucerne. This study used a mixed-methods approach to collect (i) qualitative data on FaBs as perceived by nurses and primary care physicians (PCPs), and (ii) quantitative data across the entire interprofessional collaboration using a validated questionnaire expanded with 10 specific questions about the pilot. Identified facilitators of interprofessional collaboration were (i) use of standardised documents, (ii) clear allocation of responsibilities, (iii) regular exchange and clear communication and (iv) consideration of care coordination. Reported barriers were (i) a deficit of knowledge and experience of palliative care among PCPs and (ii) time constraints. This study provides valuable insights into FaBs of interprofessional collaboration in palliative care. Several recommendations can be drawn for how interprofessional collaboration may be optimised. Awareness of FaBs and their consideration in the implementation phase of new services can strengthen the foundation for a successful interprofessional collaboration.

Abstract
PURPOSE The EQUATOR Network is an international initiative aimed at improving published health research through use of reporting guidelines. We conducted a review to determine the extent to which EQUATOR Network guidelines contain recommendations relevant for dysphagia research in human subjects. METHOD We downloaded all 542 EQUATOR Network guidelines on November 8, 2022. Each guideline was reviewed by two independent raters and judged for relevance to dysphagia and related fields (e.g., otolaryngology, gastroenterology). Dysphagia-relevant guidelines pertaining to quantitative human subjects research were further inspected to identify reporting guidance regarding (a) general research elements (e.g., data collection, statistical methods), (b) participant characteristics (e.g., demographics, accrual, randomization), (c) screening and clinical/noninstrumental assessments, (d) videofluoroscopic examinations, (e) flexible endoscopic examinations, (f) other instrumentation in swallowing research, (g) dysphagia treatment, (h) patient-/care provider-reported outcome measures, and (i) any other narrowly specified focus relevant for research on swallowing. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. RESULTS Of 542 guidelines, 156 addressed quantitative research in human subjects relevant to dysphagia. Of these, 104 addressed general research elements and 108 addressed participant characteristics. Only 14 guidelines partially addressed the other topics of interest, and none addressed elements relevant to reporting videofluoroscopic or endoscopic assessments of swallowing. CONCLUSIONS We were unable to find guidelines with specific relevance to reporting key methods in dysphagia research. This lack of guidance illustrates a gap that hinders the critical appraisal of research quality in the field of dysphagia. Our review highlights the need to develop dysphagia-specific tools for critical appraisal and guidance regarding adequate research reporting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with high body mass index (BMI) are more likely to have symptomatic LLVD than age matched populations with normal BMI. National priorities in venous disease set by the James Lind Alliance focus on improving access to healthcare and patient education. The aims of this study are to determine patient knowledge and potential burden of LLVD in a population of patients attending a UK, regional weight management service. METHODS A postal questionnaire containing 12 questions relating to LLVD and obesity was distributed to the active list of patients under the weight management medical service at Dudley Group of Hospitals between May 2022-23. Respondents were provided with a stamped, addressed envelope to return the questionnaire. Ethical approval was granted by the Hampshire Research & Ethics Committee. RESULTS Some 367 questionnaires were distributed to patients currently enrolled in specialist weight management services. 103 complete responses were received (28%), Most patients were between 50 and 70 years of age. 25% of patients already had a formal diagnosis of LLVD, with a further 84 (82%) reported signs or symptoms which may be related to LLVD. Almost half (49/103, 48%) had concerns over their skin quality with a similar proportion (25/103, 51%) having sought medical help. The majority (71/103, 69%) were unaware of the association between obesity and LLVD. Twelve participants had education regarding simple adjuncts designed to improve symptoms and/or prevent ulceration (emollients, dressings, stockings, or leg elevation). Four participants had previously undergone treatment for varicose veins. CONCLUSION In a population of patients accessing weight management services, we have demonstrated that a quarter of patients have already received a diagnosis of LLVD, however there is for a greater undiagnosed burden of LLVD in part due to lack of patient and possibly clinician awareness.

Abstract
This study focused on vaccine hesitancy and decision regret about the COVID-19 vaccine among nursing students (BScN and MScN) and Registered Nurses (RNs) in Italy. The primary aim was to describe decision regret and vaccine hesitancy among these groups and to understand what influences vaccine hesitancy. Data were collected through an e-survey conducted from March to June 2024. The Decision Regret Scale and the Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale were employed to assess regret and hesitancy levels, assessing trust, concerns, and compliance regarding vaccination. Among the participants, 8.64% were not vaccinated. The results indicated moderate to high levels of decision regret and diverse levels of trust, concerns, and compliance with COVID-19 vaccination. Structural equation modeling revealed that decision regret significantly predicted Trust (R2 = 31.3%) and Concerns (R2 = 26.9%), with lower regret associated with higher trust and lower concerns about vaccine safety. The number of COVID-19 vaccine boosters was a significant predictor of Trust and Concerns, with more boosters associated with higher trust and lower concerns. MScN students exhibited higher Compliance compared to RNs (R2 = 2.9%), highlighting the role of advanced education. These findings suggest that addressing decision regret and providing comprehensive vaccine information could enhance trust and compliance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In England, voluntary sector specialist (VSS) services are central to supporting victim-survivors of sexual violence (SV). However, empirical evidence is lacking about the scope, range and effectiveness of VSS provision for SV in England. OBJECTIVES To undertake national surveys to map SV VSS service provision and describe arrangements for funding and commissioning. DESIGN Cross-sectional surveys. SETTING VSS services for SV and commissioners from multiple organisations across England (January-June 2021). METHODS Senior staff working in VSS services and commissioners from multiple organisations were surveyed electronically. Surveys explored SV service commissioning, funding and delivery, partnerships between organisations, perceived unmet need for services, and views about facilitators and challenges. Data were analysed descriptively to characterise VSS service provision for SV and commissioning across England. RESULTS 54 responses were received from VSS providers and 34 from commissioners. Data demonstrated a complex and evolving funding and commissioning landscape in which providers typically secured funding from multiple sources, impacting consistency and scope of service provision. It was common for multiple organisations to co-commission services, demonstrating trends towards larger contracts that may disadvantage smaller specialist providers. Numerous examples of partnership working between organisations were identified, although developing partnerships was noted as challenging, particularly between VSS organisations. There was clear evidence of unmet need for services, with some groups of victim-survivors such as those from black and minority ethnic groups, often underserved by specialist services. However, there was also evidence of innovative service development and commissioning approaches to meet the needs of victim-survivors who face challenges accessing services. CONCLUSIONS This study provides novel insights into SV service provision and commissioning in England, including unmet needs among victim-survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct-to-operating room (DOR) resuscitation expedites interventions for trauma patients. Perceived benefit from the surgeon's perspective is not well known. This study assesses the integration of a real-time surgeon assessment tool into a DOR protocol. METHODS Surgeon assessment tool results from a prospective study of DOR cases were analyzed. Analysis assessed patient factors and surgeon perception for appropriateness and benefit of DOR. Multivariate analysis identified independent factors associated with perceived DOR benefit. RESULTS A total of 104 trauma patients underwent DOR resuscitation; 84% were perceived as appropriate triage, and 48% as beneficial. Patients with Injury Severity Score of >15 (50% vs. 28%), systolic blood pressure of <90 mm Hg (24% vs. 9%), and severe abdominal injury (28% vs. 9%) had higher perceived DOR benefits (all p < 0.05). Patients deemed to benefit from DOR underwent more emergent interventions or truncal surgery (44% vs. 92%, p < 0.01). No difference in benefit was seen based on age, sex, Glasgow Coma Scale score of <9, or injury mechanism. Forty-four percent had perceived benefit from DOR resuscitation despite requiring imaging after initial evaluation. Patients with perceived benefit had a higher rate of unplanned return to the operating room (16% vs. 2%, p < 0.05), but no differences in complication rates, Glasgow Outcome Score, or mortality. Injury Severity Score of >15 was the only independently associated variable with a perceived benefit on surgeon assessment tool (odds ratio, 3.5; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The majority of DOR resuscitations were deemed as appropriately triaged, and approximately half had a perceived benefit. Benefit was associated with higher injury severity and the need for urgent interventions but was not predicted by injury mechanism or other triage variables. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level IV.

Tolentino R, Rodriguez C, Hersson-Edery F, Lane J, Abbasgholizadeh Rahimi S. Perspectives on virtual interviews and emerging technologies integration in family medicine residency programs: a cross-sectional survey study. BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION 2024; 24:975. [PMID: 39245713 PMCID: PMC11382399 DOI: 10.1186/s12909-024-05874-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, in-person interviews for the recruitment of family medicine residents shifted to online (virtual) interviews. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to gather the ideas about virtual interviews of family medicine applicants (interviewees), and faculty and staff who interviewed these applicants (interviewers), and (2) to describe interviewers' and interviewees' opinions of use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) in the recruitment process as well as during clinical practice. METHODS This was a cross-sectional survey study. Participants were both interviewers and candidates who applied to the McGill University Family Medicine Residency Program for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 cycles. RESULTS The study population was constituted by N = 132 applicants and N = 60 interviewers. The response rate was 91.7% (55/60) for interviewers and 43.2% (57/132) for interviewees. Both interviewers (43.7%) and interviewees (68.5%) were satisfied with connecting through virtual interviews. Interviewers (43.75%) and interviewees (55.5%) would prefer for both options to be available. Both interviewers (50%) and interviewees (72%) were interested in emerging technologies. Almost all interviewees (95.8%) were interested in learning about AI and VR and its application in clinical practice with the majority (60.8%) agreeing that it should be taught within medical training. CONCLUSION Although experience of virtual interviewing during the COVID-19 pandemic has been positive for both interviewees and interviewers, the findings of this study suggest that it will be unlikely that virtual interviews completely replace in-person interviews for selecting candidates for family medicine residency programs in the long term as participants value aspects of in-person interviews and would want a choice in format. Since incoming family medicine physicians seem to be eager to learn and utilize emerging technologies such as AI and VR, educators and institutions should consider family physicians' needs due to the changing technological landscape in family medicine education.

[PMID: 39228263 DOI: 10.1111/head.14801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this pilot study was to assess physical therapists' (PTs) knowledge and needs regarding headache diagnosis and management. BACKGROUND While there is significant research on physical therapy and cervicogenic headache, studies suggest that migraine is often under-recognized, misdiagnosed, and inadequately treated across society despite its high prevalence and burden. Because migraine commonly includes concurrent neck pain and/or vestibular symptoms, patients with migraine may present to PTs for treatment. Very little is known about PTs' headache and migraine education, knowledge, and clinical practices. METHODS A team of headache specialists and PTs adapted a previously used headache knowledge and needs assessment survey to help ascertain PTs' knowledge and needs regarding headache treatment. The cross-sectional survey was distributed online via Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) to PTs within a large healthcare system in Connecticut. RESULTS An estimated 50.5% (101/200) of PTs invited to complete the survey did so. Only 37.6% (38/101) of respondents reported receiving any formal headache or migraine education in their professional training, leading to knowledge gaps in differentiating and responding to headache subtypes. Only 45.5% (46/101) were able to identify that migraine is characterized by greater pain intensity than tension-type headache, and 22.8% (23/101) reported not knowing the duration of untreated migraine. When asked about the aspects of care they believe their patients with headache would like to see improved, PTs reported education around prevention and appropriate medication use (61/100 [61.0%]), provider awareness of the degree of disability associated with migraine (51/100 [51.0%]), and diagnostics (47/100 [47.0%]). CONCLUSION This sample of PTs from one healthcare system demonstrates knowledge gaps and variations in clinical practice for managing their patients with headache. Future research on integrating additional opportunities for headache education for physical therapists, including evidence-based behavioral therapies, is needed to ascertain whether it is likely to improve patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The CombiConsultation is an innovative concise clinical pharmacy service by the community pharmacist for patients with a chronic condition. We aimed to identify relevant factors influencing the implementation of the CombiConsultation in Dutch clinical practice. METHODS A mixed-methods study involving interviews and a questionnaire. Content analysis topics within TDF domains were derived from the interview data and were related to the COM-B-model (capability-opportunity-motivation-Behaviour). The relevance of the resulting topics was explored using a questionnaire with 19 statements administered to all 27 pharmacists who performed CombiConsultations. KEY FINDINGS Eighteen topics emerged from the interviews. The questionnaire was completed by 23 of the 27 pharmacists. In the domain 'capability', a small number of participants indicated that they need more expertise in pharmacotherapy (13%) and training in consultation skills (35%). In the domain 'opportunity', all participants indicated that an existing good collaboration with the general practitioner/practice nurse and access to all relevant medical data were necessary to implement the CombiConsultation. In terms of motivation, job satisfaction was most important to all participants, followed by adequate reimbursement (83%) and improving collaboration with other healthcare providers and the relationship with patients (78%). CONCLUSIONS Capability, opportunity, and motivation were all considered relevant for the implementation of the CombiConsultation. There were crucial factors on the level of the individual pharmacist, on the level of the local collaboration and organization, and on the health system level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pharmacist-led research is key to optimizing medicines use and improving pharmacy services, yet it is not yet widely embedded into careers. This study aims to identify predictors of confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula, to provide targeted recommendations for building research capability and capacity within the profession. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional electronic survey, distributed to eligible pharmacists in March 2023 (n = 253). The survey gathered demographic information, research experience, and self-reported confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the RPS Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula. Pre-determined independent variables were analysed using two binomial logistic regression models (one per curriculum) to identify predictors of the dichotomous variable: confidence with meeting all research learning outcomes in that curriculum. KEY FINDINGS Participants were more likely to self-report as confident (versus not confident) with meeting all research learning outcomes in a curriculum if they had recent experience (within the previous 12 months) of research or research-related activities, held a postgraduate research qualification, had undertaken research training outside of a postgraduate qualification, discussed research in their appraisal, or worked in the hospital sector. Conversely, male gender, years practicing, and protected time for research did not predict confidence. CONCLUSION A targeted approach, including improving access to research methods training, experience-based learning, mentorship, and linking research projects to key organizational objectives, could be the key to developing research capability and capacity across all sectors and career stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Providing positive and supportive environments for nurses and midwives working in ever-changing and complex healthcare services is paramount. Clinical supervision is one approach that nurtures and supports professional guidance, ethical practice, and personal development, which impacts positively on staff morale and standards of care delivery. In the context of this study, peer group clinical supervision provides allocated time to reflect and discuss care provided and facilitated by clinical supervisors who are at the same grade/level as the supervisees. METHODS To explore the clinical supervisor's experiences of peer group clinical supervision a mixed methods study design was utilised within Irish health services (midwifery, intellectual disability, general, mental health). The Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale was used to survey clinical supervisors (n = 36) and semi-structured interviews (n = 10) with clinical supervisors were conducted. Survey data were analysed through SPSS and interview data were analysed utilising content analysis. The qualitative and quantitative data's reporting rigour was guided by the CROSS and SRQR guidelines. RESULTS Participants generally had a positive encounter when providing clinical supervision. They highly appreciated the value of clinical supervision and expressed a considerable degree of contentment with the supervision they provided to supervisees. The advantages of peer group clinical supervision encompass aspects related to self (such as confidence, leadership, personal development, and resilience), service and organisation (including a positive working environment, employee retention, and safety), and patient care (involving critical thinking and evaluation, patient safety, adherence to quality standards, and elevated levels of care). CONCLUSION There are many benefits of peer group clinical supervision at an individual, service, organisation, and patient level. Nevertheless, there is a need to address a lack of awareness and misconceptions surrounding clinical supervision to create an environment and culture conducive to realising its full potential. It is crucial that clinical supervision be accessible to nurses and midwives of all grades across all healthcare services, with national planning to address capacity and sustainability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke lateropulsion is prevalent and associated with poor rehabilitation outcomes, but evidence to guide rehabilitation of affected stroke survivors is limited. Current post-stroke lateropulsion rehabilitation practice across Australia and New Zealand has not been previously described. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe lateropulsion rehabilitation practice in Australia and New Zealand, determine clinicians,' educators' and researchers' opinions about the need for educational resources to guide best-practice, and to identify current barriers to, and enablers of, optimal rehabilitation delivery. METHODS This cross-sectional survey was distributed to stroke rehabilitation clinicians, educators and researchers across Australia and New Zealand using Qualtrics. Data were described using frequency distributions and Chi-squared tests. Responses to open-ended questions were summarized for reporting. RESULTS The final analyses included 127 surveys. Most participants (93%) were physiotherapists. The importance of identifying and assessing post-stroke lateropulsion was noted by 97.6% of participants; however routine lateropulsion assessment was reported by only 60.6% of respondents. About 93.6% of participants indicated that lateropulsion should be targeted as a rehabilitation priority. Limitations in knowledge and skill among clinicians and insufficient evidence to guide rehabilitation were noted as barriers to best-practice rehabilitation delivery. Most respondents (95.2%) indicated that lateropulsion management should be included in stroke rehabilitation guidelines. CONCLUSIONS A sample of clinicians, educators, and researchers involved in stroke rehabilitation across Australia and New Zealand have indicated that lateropulsion should be targeted as a rehabilitation priority. Knowledge and skill were identified as barriers to best-practice rehabilitation implementation, which could be improved by addressing lateropulsion in clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gender discrimination seems more prevalent in surgery than other medical specialties. In addition, female urologists are more likely to have obstetric complications and to be discouraged from starting a family during training. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of perceived gender discrimination and barriers for pregnancy during fellowship, among French urology residents and fellows. MATERIAL AND METHODS The French Association of Urologists in Training performed a national online survey between August and September 2022. Participants were assured that their participation was anonymous. Respondents were questioned on demographics, gender discrimination and on pregnancy barriers during fellowship. RESULTS In total, 153 members answered the questionnaire out of the 427 members of the association (36%), among which 75 women (49%). Thirty nine percent of the female respondents found that their gender was a barrier in their career advancement, versus 1% of the male (P<0.0001). Forty female respondents (53%) perceived that female urologists earned less respect than their male counterparts versus 22% of the male (P<0.0001). Among the female respondents, 19 (25%) have felt that it would not be possible to become pregnant at the time they would have wanted it and 7 (9%) reported having already been threatened to lose a fellowship position in case of a pregnancy. CONCLUSION This survey found a high prevalence of gender discrimination among French urologists in training, perceived in majority by women. Female urologists perceived obstacles and received threats when wanting to become pregnant during their training.

Abstract
Background Self-care and empowerment promotion in patients with heart failure (HF) is essential for improving their prognosis, but there is limited information concerning the patients' depth of knowledge about this pathology as well as patient satisfaction within heart failure units (HFUs). Our objective was to assess both aspects in a cohort of patients regularly followed-up HFUs. Methods A multicenter, observational study was conducted with consecutive patients followed in 14 HFUs between June and November 2023. It was based on a cross-sectional survey comprising 23 questions related to demographics, knowledge/self-care, and the subjective assessment of perceived quality and satisfaction in HFUs. Results 281 patients were included (36.7% women, 74.7% aged over 65 years). 48% had hospitalizations for HF or sought emergency department services within the preceding year. The mean correct responses related to knowledge were 9.7 ± 2.3 (80.7% of the total), and 53 patients (18.9%) answered all knowledge questions correctly. 211 (79.6%) could identify potential HF decompensation with abrupt weight gain, and 196 (74.2%) recognized at least three additional signs of worsening HF. 266 patients (98.2%) were likely or very likely to recommend HFUs, and 194 (89.8%) positively appreciated the experience at the day hospital. Conclusions Patients followed up in HFUs showed adequate but improvable knowledge and capacity for self-care, with a high level of satisfaction.

Attitudes of Surgical Trainees and Faculty Towards Parental Leave During Surgical Training. JOURNAL OF SURGICAL EDUCATION 2024; 81:1239-1248. [PMID: 38971678 PMCID: PMC11316628 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsurg.2024.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to better understand attitudes towards parental leave from the perspective of both surgeon faculty and current surgical trainees. We hypothesized that support for trainees to take parental leave would vary by year of residency graduation and by parental status. DESIGN We conducted a web-based survey regarding opinions on trainee parental leave. Quantitative and conventional content qualitative analyses were performed. PARTICIPANTS Surveys were sent to surgeon faculty and current trainees from 5 large academic surgical residency programs. RESULTS Survey response rates were 11.5% for surgeon faculty (68/589), and 17.7% for trainees (50/281). There were 80/118 (67.8%) respondents who reported they had or were currently expecting children, 40/80 (50%) of whom were the gestational carrier. Most thought that 6-12 weeks of parental leave should be given to child-bearing trainees (62/118, 52.5%); another 32.2% (38/118) thought >12 weeks should be given. Responses were similar amongst surgeon faculty and trainees, parents and nonparents, and respondents who identified as men and women. Qualitative analysis revealed that most respondents felt parental leave did not put unreasonable strain on other trainees and felt support could be shown both informally and with formal written policies facilitating patient care coverage. Current surgeon faculty were less likely to feel moderately/extremely supported by their faculty compared to trainees (39% vs 77%, p = 0.004). Less than a third (37/117, 31.6%) of respondents knew the current leave policies. CONCLUSIONS Amongst survey respondents, there was broad support for parental leave for surgical trainees of at least 6 weeks amongst trainees and faculty, and those with and without children. Current trainees felt more supported than current surgical faculty, suggesting that parental leave is increasingly more accepted. Support can be shown both informally and through easily accessible written policies and procedures that facilitate patient care coverage.

Abstract
Introduction The volume and quality of online health information requires consumers to be discerning. Aim This study aimed to explore consumer Internet use for health information, preferred format and what factors helped them to trust the source. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016-2017 with adults attending three cardiology outpatient clinic sites using a short paper-based survey. The survey included questions regarding online health information use and perceived trustworthiness with opportunities for free text responses. Survey data were summarised with key questions adjusted by age group, gender and ethnicity using logistic regression. Results Of the 708 respondents (51% women, 66% aged 45-74 years, 16% Māori, 12% Pacific), 73% had sought health information online (64% in the previous 12 months), commonly for medication side effects, their health condition and self-help. Most (65%) were successful, although Pacific respondents reported a lower likelihood of search success compared to Europeans. Younger age groups were more concerned about information quality. Fact sheets (80%) were the most popular format and for all ethnic groups, followed by short videos (31%) and discussion groups (23%). Trusting online information required many strategies with 72% wanting health professionals to recommend websites. Discussion Online health information seeking is a norm for consumers, with simple fact sheets being the preferred format to build knowledge and skills. With the rising tide of misinformation, health portal providers need to offer accurate and easy-to-read fact sheets in their suite of formats and health professionals need to support consumers guiding them to trusted websites.

Free-flap reconstruction methods in head-and-neck oncologic surgery: A CROSS practice survey of members of the French GETTEC Head-and-Neck Tumor Study Group. Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis 2024; 141:275-279.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To survey practices concerning the use of anticoagulants and antiplatelets in microvascular free-flap reconstruction following oncological surgery of the head and neck. METHODS A survey of practices was carried out between September 2022 and March 2023. An online questionnaire was sent to members of the French GETTEC Head-and-Neck Tumor Study Group in all French centers practicing head-and-neck cancer surgery with reconstruction using microvascular free-flaps. The questionnaire asked surgeons about their practices regarding the use of intra- and postoperative anticoagulants and antiplatelets, preoperative management of comorbidities, and prevention of postoperative complications. RESULTS Sixty-one percent of the 38 respondents (23/38) used intraoperative intravenous heparin injection, associated to flap irrigation with heparin for 76% of surgeons (29/38) and/or a heparin solution bath for 37% (14/38). Postoperative anticoagulation was used by 95% of surgeons (36/38), and antiplatelets by 40% (15/38). Postoperatively, 40% (15/38) carried out monitoring using an implantable micro-Doppler probe, associated to analysis of clinical characteristics of the flap. CONCLUSION Reconstructive surgery using microvascular free-flaps involves numerous factors that can influence success. Prospective studies, particularly concerning the management of anticoagulants, could enable a national consensus on methods for free-flap reconstruction.

[PMID: 38889595 DOI: 10.1016/j.physio.2024.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the extent and impact of litigation on the UK physiotherapy profession. DESIGN An online cross-sectional questionnaire survey design was used. The survey was open to all qualified physiotherapists who have practiced in the UK, from any speciality, of any grade and from any setting including NHS, non-NHS, and private practice. RESULTS 688 respondents completed the survey (96% CI). All UK nations were represented. 73% were female, 44% were qualified >20 Years. Most worked in the NHS (74%) and worked in a neuromusculoskeletal setting (62%). 10% of respondents had been involved in litigation. 128 claims were reported with some respondents being involved in more than 1 case. Litigation was a highly stressful experience for those who experienced it and was a source of concern for many others. The personal impact was stress (76%) and worry and anxiety (67%). The most common professional impact was defensive practice (68%). Most respondents incorrectly identified who should provide their legal support. 46% were not satisfied with the support received. Most (77%) reported that litigation training should be included in pre-registration, as well as postgraduate (68%) programs. CONCLUSION This is the first UK survey that has investigated the experiences of litigation on the UK physiotherapy profession. Ten percent of physiotherapists in our survey had been involved in litigation. Litigation impacted physiotherapists' physical and mental wellbeing and their clinical practice. Improved support, both emotional and legal is required. Clinical negligence training should be included in pre-registration and postgraduate programs. CONTRIBUTION OF THE PAPER.

Kadakia Z, VanderKaay S, Kuspinar A, Packham T. How is range of motion of the fingers measured in hand therapy practice? A survey study. HAND THERAPY 2024; 29:112-123. [PMID: 39246569 PMCID: PMC11378534 DOI: 10.1177/17589983241237780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
Introduction A variety of techniques for measuring finger range of motion (ROM) are available for hand therapist use, however, there is no clear description of which finger ROM methods are preferred in practice. This study explored the preferred measurement techniques, the factors influencing clinical decision-making, and the clinical reasoning processes employed when faced with practice-based measurement scenarios. Methods This was a cross-sectional online survey study of hand therapists and American or Canadian Society of Hand Therapists members. Quantitative methods were employed for participant demographics and categorical clinical questions about practice patterns. Qualitative descriptive questions and vignettes were analysed using inductive and deductive content analysis, respectively. Results Four hundred and eighty-one responses were included, representing hand therapists with a median age of 51 years and median experience of 19 years. Participants preferred measuring individual joints with a goniometer (N = 210, 44%) for perceived utility in informing treatment decisions, reliability, and confidence in measurement skills. Participants also preferred active functional ROM (N = 117, 24%) for being quick, easy, and useful in informing treatment decisions. Participants reported using different methods with time constraints in a busy clinic, taking precautions with pins/wounds, bulky dressings/casts, pain tolerance levels of patients, or with specific pathologies. Participants' responses to the multi-stage vignette identified distinct patterns of clinical reasoning approaches within individual vignettes. Conclusions Hand therapists use multiple methods to measure finger ROM while preferring to use goniometers to measure individual finger joints. They engage procedural and pragmatic reasoning modified by contextual factors when measuring finger ROM.
