Remediation in clinical practice for student nurses - A scoping review.

Background: Clinical practice provides an opportunity for undergraduate nursing students to develop the professional attitudes, knowledge and skills required for the delivery of safe competent care. Some students, however, are challenged to consolidate learning in clinical practice and are therefore at risk of failing courses or programmes. Supporting these students requires remediation strategies specific to clinical practice.

Characteristics and outcomes of emergency department presentations brought in by police with and without an emergency examination authority: A state-wide cohort study.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe and compare the demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics and patient and health service outcomes of emergency department (ED) presentations brought in by police with and without an emergency examination authority.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of adult (≥ 18 years old) presentations brought in by police to EDs in Queensland, Australia from 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2020. Routinely collected ED data were used to describe and compare the demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of people brought in by police with and without an emergency examination authority.

People brought to the emergency department under involuntary assessment orders: A scoping review.

Background: Some people with mental health problems arrive to the Emergency Department (ED) under involuntary assessment orders (IAOs) and can have complex medical and socioeconomic factors, which may impact on the delivery of care in the ED. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to identify, evaluate and summarise the current literature regarding the demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics and outcomes for people brought to the ED under IAOs.

Method: A scoping review was undertaken guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Guidelines and the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
