Healthcare Provider Characteristics and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality During Infant Resuscitation: A Simulation Study.

Introduction: Healthcare providers' anthropometric characteristics can adversely affect adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance quality. However, their effects on infant CPR are unknown. We aimed to determine any relationships between healthcare provider characteristics (anthropomorphic, demographics, training, occupational data) and simulated infant CPR performance at multiple international sites.

Exploring Mechanisms for Effective Technology-Enhanced Simulation-based Education in Wilderness Medicine: A Systematic Review.

Background:  Technology-enhanced simulation is well-established in healthcare teaching curricula, including those regarding wilderness medicine. Compellingly, the evidence base for the value of this educational modality to improve learner competencies and patient outcomes are increasing.

Aims:  The aim was to systematically review the characteristics of technology-enhanced simulation presented in the wilderness medicine literature to date.

Dysfunctional sleep beliefs in Parkinson's disease: relationships with subjective and objective sleep.

Disturbed sleep is common in Parkinson's disease and has a detrimental impact on functioning and quality of life. While the progression of the disease contributes to the aetiology of sleep problems in Parkinson's disease, it is unknown whether an individual's beliefs and attitudes about sleep play a role. In this study we sought to investigate whether dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep could be related to subjective and objective measures of sleep disturbance in Parkinson's disease.
