Developing a customised set of evidence-based quality indicators for measuring workplace violence towards healthcare workers: a modified Delphi method.

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is a complex global challenge in healthcare that can only be addressed through a quality improvement initiative composed of a complex intervention. However, multiple WPV-specific quality indicators are required to effectively monitor WPV and demonstrate an intervention's impact. This study aims to determine a set of quality indicators capable of effectively monitoring WPV in healthcare.

Identifying quality indicators to measure workplace violence in healthcare settings: a rapid review.

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) in healthcare is a growing challenge posing significant risks to patient care and employee well-being. Existing metrics to measure WPV in healthcare settings often fail to provide decision-makers with an adequate reflection of WPV due to the complexity of the issue. This increases the difficulty for decision-makers to evaluate WPV in healthcare settings and implement interventions that can produce sustained improvements.

Sexual and gender diversity in cancer care and survivorship.

Purpose Of The Review: Sexual and gender diverse (SGD) cancer patients possess unique identities and needs that must be considered during their cancer care. This narrative review explores the current literature on sexual and gender diversity in cancer care and survivorship, in addition to providing recommendations encouraged by the current literature.

Recent Findings: We performed a literature search for articles published in English between January 2021 and June 2022 in Medline ALL and Embase.

Healthcare provider experiences during COVID-19 redeployment.

Purpose Of Review: Among the myriad traumatic impacts of COVID-19, the need for redeployment served as a significant stressor for healthcare providers (HCPs). This narrative review summarizes the current literature on HCP redeployment experiences and institutional support for staff, while proposing a theoretical approach to mitigating the negative impact on HCP mental health.

Recent Findings: Redeployment was a strong predictor of negative emotions in HCP during the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas reflections on benefit-finding associated with redeployment were reported more frequently during later stages.

Inflammatory Pain Alters Dopaminergic Modulation of Excitatory Synapses in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Mice.

Pain modulation of dopamine-producing nuclei is known to contribute to the affective component of chronic pain. However, pain modulation of pain-related cortical regions receiving dopaminergic inputs is understudied. The present study demonstrates that mice with chronic inflammatory injury of the hind paws develop persistent mechanical hypersensitivity and transient anxiety.
