Non-pharmacological interventions to prevent and manage delirium in critically ill children in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units (NICU/PICU): a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Delirium is one of the most common forms of acute cerebral dysfunction in critically ill children leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Prevention, identification and management of delirium is an important part of paediatric and neonatological intensive care. This scoping review aims to identify and map evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for paediatric delirium prevention and management in paediatric and neonatal intensive care settings.

[Nursing interventions by school nurses in Germany: A cross-sectional study].

Nursing interventions by school nurses in Germany: A cross-sectional study The internationally established professional profile of school nursing has not yet been implemented across the board in Germany. In model projects and some international schools the feasibility of the concept and the daily work of school nurses in Germany can already be observed. Urgent and currently often unsolved issues in the school setting are the inclusion of chronically ill students and health promotion in the living environment.

[Integrating academic nurses in German university hospitals: a follow-up survey].

Introduction: The effective integration of professional nursing staff with university training into care processes is associated internationally with better patient outcomes. In Germany, there is a current lack of reliable figures on graduates and their areas of responsibility. Therefore, the aim of this follow-up survey, designed as a repetition of a previous one, was to ascertain the number of nurses with a Bachelor's or Master's degree involved in direct patient care at university medical centers.

[Individual teacher's health literacy and their safety in dealing with chronically ill pupils and emergencies].

Background: Health literacy (HL) is regarded as a key determinant in health promotion. The support of HL should begin as early as possible to prevent later health problems. In the school setting, teachers play an important role.

Parental health literacy and health knowledge, behaviours and outcomes in children: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Health literacy (HL) is closely associated with leading health indicators such as engaging in healthy behaviours and experiencing a healthy social environment. Parents represent a critical subgroup among the adult population since they are not only responsible for their own health but also for the health of their children. Previous research suggests that parents with low HL are less likely to meet the preventive and health care needs of their children but there are gaps in the available information and there is not any data available yet for the German context.

Potentials of School Nursing for Strengthening the Health Literacy of Children, Parents and Teachers.

Health literacy (HL) plays a key role in explaining health disparities. School nurses (SN) provide health related expertise within the school setting. A positive effect on the HL of children but also their teachers and parents has been suggested by some research, but gaps persist in the available information.

[State of development of the role of academic nursing staff at German university hospitals in 2015].

Introduction: In order to meet the requirements of the increasing complexity of patient care it is recommended to promote more differentiated nursing staff structures and to integrate academic nurses, which is international standard and recommended by the German Science Council. The implementation level is unclear. What is the percentage of nurses with an academic degree at German university hospitals, and what are their task profiles?

Method: Standardised written survey by nursing directors of all 32 German university hospitals and medical universities in 2015.

Underweight and malnutrition in home care: A multicenter study.

Background & Objectives: This study aimed to provide representative figures about the prevalence of underweight and malnutrition among home care clients, and to determine the associated risk factors and the provided nutritional nursing interventions.

Methods: In 2012, a multicenter point prevalence study was conducted among 878 randomly selected clients from 100 randomly selected home care services across Germany. Following a standardized study protocol, demographics, nutritional assessments (Body Mass Index, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), Mini nutritional Assessment - short form (MNA-sf), nurses' clinical judgment on nutritional status) and interventions were assessed.

Mobility is the key! Trends and associations of common care problems in German long-term care facilities from 2008 to 2012.

Background: Although enormous efforts have been made in auditing the quality of care, there are only few epidemiological studies available about the actual occurrence of immobility, malnutrition, urinary incontinence, cognitive impairment, falls and pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities.

Objective: The objective of this study was to provide prevalence estimates of common nursing care problems in long-term care facilities and to investigate any associations between them.

Design: Secondary data analysis of five consecutive annual cross-sectional multicenter studies from 2008 to 2012.
