Engaging in physical activity (PA) during adolescence is beneficial for health and positive development. However, most adolescent girls have low PA levels, and there is a need for interventions outsid...
Girls living in the UK or Ireland, aged between 13 and 16 years old, who wished to increase their activity levels, were eligible for the study. Using a random number generator, participants (n = 153; ...
Participation in the PA programme group was associated with higher perceived competence (0.6, 95% CI 0.1 to 1.2), identified regulation (0.7, 95% CI 0.2 to 1.1) and intrinsic motivation (0.9, 95% CI 0...
Results suggest perceived competence increased across all intervention arms, while the PA programme group enhanced autonomous motivation in the short term. Intervention arms with behaviour change supp...
Little literature exists on culturally grounded approaches for addressing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) among Métis people. The goal of...
Grounded in community-based and Indigenous research approaches and working in partnership with a Métis community-based organization, data collection included a survey and four gathering circles with M...
Twenty-six of the 30 DBST recipients completed surveys, and 19 DBST recipients participated in gathering circles. Survey results suggest DBST is a highly acceptable STBBI testing method to Métis commu...
These findings illustrate the potential for DBST to be part of a culturally grounded, Métis-specific response to HIV and STBBI....
Correct perioperative management of anticoagulant therapy is essential to prevent thromboembolic events and reduce the risk of bleeding. The lack of universally accepted guidelines makes perioperative...
A multidisciplinary working group was set up, and four main phases of the process were identified. Each of these phases was divided into micro-activities to identify the related possible failure modes...
Seventeen failure modes were identified in the entire perioperative period; those with a higher priority of intervention concern the incorrect timing between therapy suspension and surgery, and the in...
The FMEA method can help identify anticoagulant therapy perioperative failures and implement the management and patient safety of surgical procedures....
The purpose of this convergent mixed methods interprofessional education (IPE) pilot project was to help health profession students gain valuable insight about the experiences of people living with me...
Fetal echocardiography is widely available, but normative data are not robust. In this pilot study, the authors evaluated (1) the feasibility of prespecified measurements in a normal fetal echocardiog...
Images from predefined gestational age groups (16-20, >20-24, >24-28, and >28-32 weeks) were retrospectively analyzed. Fetal echocardiography expert raters attended online group training and then inde...
Expert raters completed each set of measurements in a mean of 23 ± 9 min/fetus. Missingness ranged from 0% to 29%. CoVs were similar across age groups for all variables (P < .05) except ductus arterio...
There is considerable variability in fetal echocardiographic quantification in clinical practice that may affect the design of multicenter fetal echocardiographic Z score studies, and not all measurem...
Homelessness continues to be a pervasive public health problem throughout Canada. Hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) and inpatient wards have become a source of temporary care and shelter for homele...
Teen dating violence (TDV) is a prevalent problem in the United States. Although research indicates that prevention programs have favorable effects on TDV knowledge/attitudes, there is limited evidenc...
We evaluated the feasibility and discriminability of recently proposed Clinical Performance Measures for Neurocritical Care (Neurocritical Care Society) and Quality Indicators for Traumatic Brain Inju...
At three centers within the Collaborative Hospital Repository Uniting Standards (CHoRUS) for Equitable AI consortium, we examined consecutive neurocritical care admissions exceeding 24 h (03/2015-02/2...
A total of 14,985 admissions met inclusion criteria. ICPM was documented in 1514 (10.1%), neurologic assessments in 14,635 (91.1%), and IPCd application in 14,175 (88.5%). ICPM began within 24 h for 1...
Electronic health record-derived reporting of neurocritical care performance measures is feasible and demonstrates site-specific variation. Future efforts should examine whether performance or documen...
Environmental aspects and sustainability are becoming increasingly important. In addition to energy consumption, the consumption and environmental discharge of contrast agents pose a particular challe...
In a pilot project, a set of measures (installation of specific separation toilets, the establishment of feedback systems, interviews, questionnaires, and observation) was implemented to sensitize pat...
In the initial baseline phase, a separation toilet with an additional collection system and a feedback/button system was installed. The built-in feedback system indicated that the separation toilets w...
Measures to reduce the discharge of XCAs into the environment have a high acceptance among staff and patients. The subsequent installation of separation toilets is one possibility to achieve on-site r...
· The input of X-ray contrast agents into the environment is relevant in light of the quantity. · Measures to reduce the discharge of X-ray contrast agents into the environment have been investigated ...
· Beer M, Schuler J, Kraus E et al. Discharge of iodine-containing contrast media into the environment - problem analysis and implementation of measures to reduce discharge by means of separation toil...
This analysis presents the outcomes of the operations of the National Cancer Network (NCN) pilot project in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, for lung cancer for the period of 2019-2021. The results...
Twenty-one measures used to gauge the quality of oncological care for lung cancer were assessed. Data collection and processing for the purpose of calculating the measures were carried out as part of ...
A total of 3,638 patients diagnosed with lung cancer were enrolled in the NCN pilot program during the analysed period. For 3 measures, out of 21, target values were obtained. For 2 measures, the valu...
In our opinion, the NCN pilot study, as a test of the network's functioning, meets the assumed goal. The NCN assessment is based on, inter alia, analysis of the outcomes of oncological quality of care...
