Distraction-based interventions for children in the emergency care setting: A realist synthesis based on primary research.

Background: The literature underscores the prevalence of pain as the most common presenting symptom in the Emergency Care Setting (ECS) and is associated with anxiety and stress for children. On top of that painful procedures are often required as part of their treatment, making procedural pain a common experience. The substantial evidence supporting the effectiveness of distraction-based interventions (DBI) in relieving pain and anxiety and reducing stress underscores the urgency of addressing this issue.

Exploring person-centred practice.

Person-centred practice offers an approach to healthcare provision that prioritises the personhood of individuals. This means that nurses' ethical and professional values underpin their approaches to care, where each person and their rights, relationships and dignity are respected. For nurses, the primary intention of person-centred practice is to contribute to a positive care experience for the people in their care.

Inpatient referrals to a specialist falls and syncope service: prevalence of STOPPFall FRIDs and review of deprescribing patterns.

Purpose: Falls are the commonest cause of accidental death in older people and the most frequent reason for their presentation to hospital. The Screening Tool of Older Persons Prescriptions in older adults with high falls risk (STOPPFall) facilitates deprescribing by providing a clear consensus on which medications are considered fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of STOPPFall FRIDs in inpatients referred to a falls and syncope service (FASS).
