Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:3549-3558. [PMID: 37211549 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-04957-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
The research network of the Spanish Pediatric Emergency Society (RISeuP-SPERG Network) needs to establish its research agenda relevant to pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) to guide the development of future projects, as other networks have done before. The aim of our study was to identify priority areas in PEM for a collaborative network of pediatric emergency research in Spain. A multicenter study was developed including pediatric emergency physicians from 54 Spanish emergency departments, endorsed by the RISeuP-SPERG Network. Initially, a group of seven PEM experts was selected among the members of the RISeuP-SPERG. In the first phase, these experts elaborated a list of research topics. Then, using a Delphi method, we sent a questionnaire with that list to all RISeuP-SPERG members, to rank each item using a 7-point Likert scale. Finally, the seven PEM experts, using a modified Hanlon Process of Prioritization, weighted prevalence (A), seriousness of the condition (B), and feasibility of conducting research projects (C) on that condition to prioritize the selected items. Once the list of topics was chosen, the seven experts selected a list of research questions for each of the selected items. The Delphi questionnaire was answered by 74/122 (60.7%) members of RISeuP-SPERG. We established a list of 38 research priorities related to quality improvement (11), infectious diseases (8), psychiatric/social emergencies (5), sedoanalgesia (3), critical care (2), respiratory emergencies (2), trauma (2), neurologic emergencies (1), and miscellanea (4). Conclusion: The RISeuP-SPERG prioritization process identified high-priority PEM topics specific to multicenter research that may help guide further collaborative research efforts within the RISeuP-SPERG network to improve PEM care in Spain. What is Known: • Some pediatric emergency medicine networks have established their priorities for research. What is New: • After a structured process, we have set the research agenda for pediatric emergency medicine in Spain. By identifying high-priority pediatric emergency medicine research topics specific to multicenter research, we may guide further collaborative research efforts within our network.

The feasibility of a pediatric distance learning curriculum for emergency department nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: An Improving Pediatric Acute Care Through Simulation (ImPACTS) collaboration.

Abstract
Introduction To develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a longitudinal pediatric distance learning curriculum for general emergency nurses, facilitated by nurse educators, with central support through the Improving Acute Care Through Simulation collaborative. Methods Kern’s 6-step curriculum development framework was used with pediatric status epilepticus aimed at maintaining physical distancing, resulting in a 12-week curriculum bookended by 1-hour telesimulations, with weekly 30-minute online asynchronous distance learning. Recruited nurse educators recruited a minimum of 2 local nurses. Nurse educators facilitated the intervention, completed implementation surveys, and engaged with other educators with the Improving Pediatric Acute Care through Simulation project coordinator. Feasibility data included nurse educator project engagement and curriculum engagement by nurses with each activity. Efficacy data were collected through satisfaction surveys, pre-post knowledge surveys, and pre-post telesimulation performance checklists. Results Thirteen of 17 pediatric nurse educators recruited staff to complete both telesimulations, and 38 of 110 enrolled nurses completed pre-post knowledge surveys. Knowledge scores improved from a median of 70 of 100 (interquartile range: 66-78) to 88 (interquartile range: 79-94) (P = .018), and telesimulation performance improved from a median of 60 of 100 (interquartile range: 45-60) to 100 (interquartile range: 85-100) (P = .016). Feedback included a shortened intervention and including physician participants. Discussion A longitudinal pediatric distance learning curriculum for emergency nurses collaboratively developed and implemented by nurse educators and Improving Pediatric Acute Care through Simulation was feasible for nurse educators to implement, led to modest engagement in all activities by nurses, and resulted in improvement in nurses’ knowledge and skills. Future directions include shortening intervention time and broadening interprofessional scope.

Abstract
Radiography science is a new discipline among health sciences. It is a discipline that investigates phenomena in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine. It has merged from the need to provide research evidence to support these services. The domain of the discipline needs clarification and more research should be focused on its paradigmatic issues. Radiography research priorities have been previously charted on a national level in different countries but the viewpoint has been that of the needs of the profession, not of the discipline. This study aimed to identify the priorities of the discipline. The method chosen was a modified version of the Delphi technique with two rounds. The expert panel consisted of 24 European radiography researchers with long professional experience. This study shows that the research priorities in radiography science are related to the phenomena of radiographers' profession, clinical practices, and the safe and high-quality use of radiation and technology for medical imaging, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine. Identifying these priorities can help focus research onto most important topics and clarify disciplinary perspective.

Abstract
Vibration membrane filtration has been confirmed as an effective method to improve algae separation from water. However, the fouling evolution process and the antifouling mechanism are not well understood. In this study, a novel hybrid method based on a dynamics model was proposed, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted, and the critical vibration frequency for accurate analysis and prediction of membrane fouling was developed. The dynamics model was studied with an improved collision-attachment model by considering all the concurrent and synergistic effects of the hydrodynamic interactions acting on algae. From the perspective of potential energy, the improved model systematically elucidated the reason why the antifouling performance was enhanced when the vibration frequency varied from 1 Hz to 5 Hz. In addition, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution-grey relational analysis (TOPSIS-GRA) method with combined weights was incorporated for the first time to provide direct comprehensive evaluation evidence to determine the effect of the vibration frequency on membrane fouling. It was found that increasing the vibration frequency could not alleviate membrane fouling caused by extracellular organic matter. Moreover, the concept of a critical vibration frequency was proposed using genetic algorithm optimized back propagation neural network, and the energy consumption was analyzed. This combination could provide an effective means to choose the most appropriate vibration frequency, thereby improving the efficiency of the vibration membrane system in the algae separation process.
