Where in the World? Creating a Map Application to Support Nursing Students.

Successful completion of professional experience placement is a key factor for student progress through pre-licensure nursing programmes and subsequent registration as a nurse. Professional experience placement can be a time when students feel the impact of intersectional challenges, and is a point in which attrition occurs. A regional university partnered with their spatial analysis unit to create a customised, interactive, digital map application to support students undertaking professional experience placement.

What is the state of play? A nursing and midwifery workplace satisfaction survey across five local health districts.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and recovery period have exacerbated workforce challenges for nurses and midwives. The increasingly complex nature of healthcare, combined with rising workloads and staff attrition highlights the need for initiatives that improve workplace satisfaction and retention. In response, mentoring programs aimed at enhancing job satisfaction and retention are being increasingly implemented.

Exploring the Experiences and Perceptions of the Utilisation of Structured Clinical Handover Frameworks by Nurses Working in Acute Care Settings: A Scoping Review.

Background: There is increased interest in implementing structured clinical handover frameworks to improve clinical handover processes. Research postulates that structured clinical handover frameworks increase the quality of handovers; yet inconsistencies enacting these frameworks exist which has a potential to jeopardise the quality of communication during handovers thereby defeating the purpose of these frameworks.

Aim: This scoping review aims to analyse and synthesise what is currently known of the nurses' experiences and perceptions in implementing structured clinical handover frameworks and identify knowledge gaps in relation to this topic area.

However, the impact of training programmes are not widely explored.: This study aimed to assess the impact of a mandatory 8-week online subject focussed on the development of culturally safe practices among midwifery students.

Pandemic-related racial discrimination and its health impact among non-Indigenous racially minoritized peoples in high-income contexts: a systematic review.

This study aims to review articles reporting the perspectives and experiences of pandemic-related discrimination among racially minoritized peoples in high-income contexts. We searched online databases (Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ProQuest) for peer-reviewed articles published between January 2002 and October 2020. Eligible studies reported either quantitative or qualitative accounts of pandemic-related discrimination from the perspectives of racially minoritized peoples in high-income contexts.

Loss of Consciousness During Single Sling Helicopter Hoist Rescue Resulting in a Fatal Fall.

Introduction: Although harness suspension trauma has been documented since the 1960s, especially in the mountaineering setting, there is little robust medical research into the area. Helicopter hoist rescue shares similar risks and is reserved for those cases that cannot be accessed safely by other routes, where extrication may be hazardous or will take an unreasonable amount of time. The single sling or chest harness used for hoist rescue is a single harness around the upper torso and is easier and quicker to apply than a stretcher.

International study on nurses' views and experiences of compassion.

Background: Compassion is considered the cornerstone of nursing practice. However, the recent failures in delivering high-quality compassionate nursing care in the UK's National Health Service have brought the topic of compassion to the attention of the public, service providers, policy makers and academics.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the nurses' views and experiences of a number of compassion-related issues in nursing and describe similarities and differences at an international level as well as from the different nursing roles of the participating nurses.

Indigenous community participation: how does it relate to student centered learning and embrace primary health care philosophies?

The health and well-being of Indigenous Australians has been identified as a critical problem with high levels of chronic illness, morbidity and mortality compared to other Australian population groups. However, as health professionals we continue to discuss and theorise components of Indigenous health addressing issues in a piecemeal way. The concept of primary health care has been shown to have an independent effect on improving the health status of populations and having the ability to reduce health inequalities.

Isomer population analysis of gaseous ions from infrared multiple photon dissociation kinetics.

Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) kinetics measured with tunable laser radiation from a free electron laser (FEL) are used to probe the relative populations of and interconversions between energetically competitive isomers of gas-phase ions at 298 K. On-resonance IRMPD kinetics of monoisomeric benzoate anion and anilinium (protonated aniline) are measured to determine the extent of overlap of the laser beam with the precursor ion population (∼93%). IRMPD kinetics indicating different photodissociation behavior for different isomers obtained at isomer-specific resonances are used to determine relative populations of salt bridge and charge-solvated isomers for ArgGly·Na(+), Ser·Cs(+), and Arg·Na(+).

Entropy drives an attached water molecule from the C- to N-terminus on protonated proline.

Results from infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy and kinetics of singly hydrated, protonated proline indicate that the water molecule hydrogen bonds preferentially to the formally neutral carboxylic acid at low temperatures and at higher temperatures to the protonated N-terminus, which bears the formal charge. Hydration isomer populations obtained from IRPD kinetic data as a function of temperature are used to generate a van't Hoff plot that reveals that C-terminal binding is enthalpically favored by 4.2-6.

Migration of a UV stabilizer from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into food simulants.

The migration characteristics of the UV stabilizer Tinuvin 234 (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis (1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol) into food simulants has been measured from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using HPLC with UV detection.
