Provider Preference, Logistical Challenges, or Vaccine Hesitancy? Analyzing Parental Decision-Making in School Vaccination Programs: A Qualitative Study in Sydney, Australia.

School-based immunization programs are crucial for equitable vaccine coverage, yet their success depends on parental consent processes. This study investigates patterns of vaccine decision-making within Australia's school-based immunization program, specifically focusing on human papillomavirus (HPV) and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) vaccines offered free to adolescents aged 12-13. This qualitative study was conducted in the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (2022-2023).

Exploring Communication Barriers and Facilitators in School Vaccination: A Case Study in South Eastern Sydney, Australia.

: Given the discrepancies in immunisation coverage, the goal of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to effective communication across the school-based vaccination program in South Eastern Sydney schools. : A qualitative study was undertaken with purposively selected immunisation staff, school coordinators, and parents of Year 7 students who had not received two vaccinations (dTpa and HPV) at school. A focus group with immunisation staff and interviews with school coordinators explored the barriers and facilitators to vaccination uptake, including communication across stakeholders.

Follow-up of women with cervical adenocarcinoma in situ treated by conization: A single centre clinical experience.

Objective: Hysterectomy has been the historical gold standard final step in the treatment algorithm of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) recommended by most North American colposcopy guidelines. AIS disproportionately affects young childbearing age women, therefore a fertility sparing treatment option is desirable. Our study examines the impact of conservative treatment of AIS with conization followed by serial surveillance.

Indigenous lands and health access: The influence of a sense of place on disparities in post-stroke recovery in Taiwan.

Despite many countries having policies and systems for universal healthcare coverage, health disparity persists, with significant variations in disease prevalence and life expectancy between different groups of people. This focused ethnography explored the post-stroke recovery of Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in three geographical areas in Taiwan. Forty-eight observations and 24 interviews were carried out with 12 dyads of stroke survivors and family caregivers, revealing their varied experiences of healthcare.

Biographical continuation: recovery of stroke survivors and their family caregivers in Taiwan.

Aim: To explore the experiences pertaining to long-term care services from the perspectives of dyads of stroke survivors and their family caregivers in indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

Background: Stroke occurrence is a life-changing event associated with quality of life for stroke survivors and their families, especially those who provide primary support. Indigenous people are more likely to experience a stroke at a younger age and have a higher likelihood of hospitalisation and death due to health disparities.

Determining a risk-proportionate approach to the validation of statistical programming for clinical trials.

Background: The contribution of the statistician to the design and analysis of a clinical trial is acknowledged as essential. Ability to reconstruct the statistical contribution to a trial requires rigorous and transparent documentation as evidenced by the reproducibility of results. The process of validating statistical programmes is a key requirement.

Canadian Guideline on the Management of a Positive Human Papillomavirus Test and Guidance for Specific Populations.

The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence-based guidance on the management of a positive human papilloma virus (HPV) test and to provide guidance around screening and HPV testing for specific patient populations. The guideline was developed by a working group in collaboration with the Gynecologic Oncology Society of Canada (GOC), Society of Colposcopists of Canada (SCC), and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. The literature informing these guidelines was obtained through a systematic review of relevant literature by a multi-step search process led by an information specialist.

Exploring the role of a multidisciplinary hereditary gynecologic oncology clinic in epithelial ovarian cancer risk-reducing surgical decision-making practices: A mixed-methods study.

Individuals that have gynecologic reproductive organs with pathogenic variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 ("BRCA-positive") have an increased risk of developing high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). The majority of HGSOC develops in the fallopian tubes and later spreads to the ovaries and peritoneal cavity. Therefore, risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is recommended for those who are BRCA-positive to preventatively remove their ovaries and fallopian tubes.

An integrative review of the continuing professional development needs for nurse educators.

Objectives: The study aimed at describing the field of research in continuing professional development for nurse educators and the continuous education and development needs of nurse educators by asking: What research has been done in the field of continuing professional development of nurse educators? What are the continuing education and development needs and requirements reported for and by nurse educators?

Design: An integrative review of peer-reviewed academic literature following a systematic search design.

Data Sources: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods publications in CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, ERIC, and PubMed.

Review Methods: Search results were screened for full text and assessed for quality using the Mixed Methods Assessment Tool.

Referral, Genetic Counselling, and Testing in the Manitoba High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Population, 2004-2019.

(1) Background: The primary objective of this study was to examine the rate of genetic referral, BRCA testing, and BRCA positivity amongst all patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) from 2004-2019. The secondary objective was to analyze secondary factors that may affect the rates of referral and testing. (2) Methods: This population-based cohort study included all women diagnosed with HGSOC using the Manitoba Cancer Registry, CervixCheck registry, database at Manitoba Health, the Hospital Discharge abstract, the Population Registry, and Winnipeg Regional Health Authority genetics data.

Extensive age-dependent loss of antibody diversity in naturally short-lived turquoise killifish.

Aging individuals exhibit a pervasive decline in adaptive immune function, with important implications for health and lifespan. Previous studies have found a pervasive loss of immune-repertoire diversity in human peripheral blood during aging; however, little is known about repertoire aging in other immune compartments, or in species other than humans. Here, we perform the first study of immune-repertoire aging in an emerging model of vertebrate aging, the African turquoise killifish ().

Edgework emotion management: A constructivist grounded theory of organ donation nurses' experiences and practices.

Aims And Objectives: To explore nurses' experiences when approaching families for organ donation authorisation to guide nursing practice.

Background: Organ donation after brainstem death implies that bereaved families are approached to discuss organ donation authorisation, and in many countries, specialist nurses do this approach. The literature describes the social, psychological and emotional challenges of health professionals in this role.
