Article Synopsis
- The study explores the concept of fragmented occupational transitions specifically among long-term care nurses, highlighting the challenges they face as they navigate incomplete transitions in their careers.
- Using an eight-stage method for concept analysis, the research identifies key attributes of these fragmented transitions, including fragmentation, ill-timing, disruption, and others that significantly affect the nurses' emotional and ethical well-being.
- The findings aim to enhance understanding of these experiences and contribute to developing better risk assessments and tools to improve quality in long-term care settings.
Background: Introducing novel methods in undergraduate teaching of obstetrics and gynecology has been recommended. High-fidelity simulation of shoulder dystocia has been shown to improve skills of qualified maternity staff. We aimed to assess whether simulation is also useful for improving medical students' skills.

The article outlines the process and suggests that the initiative is important to help meet the needs of older patients with long-term conditions.

Methods: Records of 18,686 penetrating corneal grafts, 14,622 with archival follow-up from 1 to 22 years, were examined within a national database. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated variables of interest for Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
Objective: To assess skill retention 6 and 12 months after shoulder dystocia training.
Methods: Midwives and doctors from six United Kingdom hospitals attended a 40-minute workshop on shoulder dystocia management. Participants managed a standardized simulation before and 3 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months afterward.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training for shoulder dystocia management and compare training using a high-fidelity mannequin with that using traditional devices.
Methods: Training was undertaken in six hospitals and a medical simulation center in the United Kingdom. Midwives and obstetricians working for participating hospitals were eligible for inclusion.
Background: In a large patient cohort, we investigated long-term corneal graft outcome, risk factors for graft failure, and whether corneal graft survival had improved over time.
Methods: Records of 10,952 full-thickness corneal grafts with associated archival follow-up were examined within a prospectively-maintained, national database of 13,831 records, with follow-up extending for up to 18 years. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to indicate variables of interest for Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
