The treatable traits of asthma in pregnancy: a clinical audit.

Rationale: Poor asthma control in pregnancy is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Treatable traits improve patient outcomes but the pattern and prevalence of treatable traits in pregnant women with asthma is unknown. Whether treatable traits in pregnant women with asthma can be identified a virtual care consult is also unknown.

Interventions to Improve Social Climate in Acute Mental Health Inpatient Settings: Systematic Review of Content and Outcomes.

Introduction: Quantification of the social climate of mental health care environments has received considerable attention. Investigations of the resulting measures indicate that social climate is associated with individual outcomes including patient satisfaction and staff burnout. Interest has grown in developing interventions to improve social climate in anticipation of subsequent related benefits.

Longitudinal evaluation of a programme for safety culture change in a mental health service.

Aim: To evaluate whether a two-part culture improvement programme aimed at nurses in clinical and managerial positions in an inpatient mental health service was associated with culture change, and safety-related behaviour and knowledge improvements.

Background: Due to serious failings in the delivery of physiological care to mentally disordered inpatients, it was deemed important that interventions be applied to improve service culture.

Methods: A pre-test and post-test study was conducted to evaluate change associated with a mandated intervention aimed at culture change.

Clarity, confidence and complexity: Learning from mental health nurses' experiences of events involving physiological deterioration of consumers in acute inpatient mental health settings.

Aims And Objective: To capture the experiences of nurses in relation to the acutely physiologically deteriorating consumer.

Background: Improving the physical health care of consumers with mental illness has been widely adopted as a priority for mental health nursing. Much of the effort thus far has focused on routine screening, prevention and treatment of common comorbidities including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and cancer.

Safety attitudes, perceived organizational culture and knowledge of the physiologically deteriorating patient among mental health nurses: Cross-sectional, correlational study.

Mental health nurses have traditionally lagged in terms of physical healthcare skills and have been found to have poorer cultural safety-related attitudes relative to other nurses. Organizational culture, including safety-related culture, is associated with important aspects of care quality. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between safety-related attitudes, physical healthcare-related knowledge and organizational culture among mental health nurses.
