Article Synopsis
- This UK study aimed to assess the accuracy and body image impact of ultraviolet (UV) tattoos versus conventional dark ink tattoos during breast/chest wall radiotherapy.
- In a randomized trial with 46 patients, results showed that UV tattoos had an accuracy level comparable to dark ink tattoos, with random errors below the desired threshold.
- Additionally, a higher percentage of patients with UV tattoos reported improvements in body image at 1 and 6 months after treatment, suggesting a psychological benefit from this tattoo type.
Objectives: This systematic review is linked to the multifaceted social, economic and personal challenges of dementia and the international recognition of the value of interprofessional education (IPE) and its influence on health and social care outcomes. This review therefore aimed to identify, describe and evaluate the impact of IPE interventions on health and social care practitioners (prequalification and postqualification) understanding of dementia, the quality of care for people with dementia and support for their carers.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, 9 databases were searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, Healthcare Management Information Consortium, ERIC and British Education Index).
Introduction: Interprofessional education (IPE) offers a possible way to improve interprofessional collaboration and patient care. Current research addressing the effectiveness of IPE in dementia care is limited. A protocol is described for a systematic review to investigate the evidence for the influence of IPE on collaborative knowledge and skills; interprofessional practice and the delivery of dementia care.
