Facilitating and limiting factors in the implementation of Revie ⊕ among registered nurses: A multimethod study.

Purpose: People with advanced cancer face long-term physical, psychological, and existential challenges. Revie ⊕ is a life review intervention based on building the strengths and resources of these patients. A randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of the intervention on self-esteem, well-being, personal development, life satisfaction and perceived interaction with registered nurses.

Feasibility and acceptability of a serious game to study the effects of environmental distractors on emergency room nurse triage accuracy: A pilot study.

Background: Emergency triage, which involves complex decision-making under stress and time constraints, may suffer from inaccuracies due to workplace distractions. A serious game was developed to simulate the triage process and environment. A pilot study was undertaken to collect preliminary data on the effects of distractors on emergency nurse triage accuracy.

Not only COVID-19 disease impacts ambulance emergency demands but also lockdowns and quarantines.

Background: The pandemic has impacted both patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and patients who seek emergency assistance due to other health issues. Changes in emergency demands are expected to have occurred during the pandemic, the objective of this investigation is to characterize the changes in ambulance emergency demands during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Vaud State of Switzerland. The goal of this research is to identify the collateral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on emergency demands.

Identification of new demands regarding prehospital care based on 35,188 missions in 2018.

Background: Population ageing and increased prevalence of chronic diseases result in the emergence of new demands in prehospital care. The prehospital system is facing an increase of cases without acute threat to life (so-called "non-urgent"), which generates tension due to a higher number of admissions to emergency departments and a greater use of prehospital resources. Our aim is to understand this transition in prehospital activities and to delineate the primary missions performed by paramedics in 2018 with a focus on the population concerned, the severity of cases encountered and the typology of health issues.

Effects of environmental distractors on nurse emergency triage accuracy: a pilot study protocol.

Background: The clinical decisions of emergency department triage nurses need to be of the highest accuracy. However, studies have found repeatedly that these nurses over- or underestimate the severity of patient health conditions. This has major consequences for patient safety and patient flow management.

Factors influencing the quality of life perceptions of cognitively impaired older adults in a nursing home and their informal and professional caregivers: a mixed methods study.

Background: Identifying the objective and subjective aspects of the quality of life (QoL) of institutionalized cognitively impaired older adults (CIOAs) is a challenge. However, it can reveal which aspects of their care require improvement.

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the core aspects of the QoL of CIOAs living in a nursing home (NH) by involving informal and professional caregivers (PCs).

[Pain assessment in the postanaesthesia recovery room].

Pain assessment is an important activity in nursing care. Postanaesthesia recovery rooms are specialised care units. Pain assessment must form part of a global approach, beyond an objective of care.
