Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of I-PASS-structured (Identification-Patient-Action-Situation-Synthesis) bedside nursing handovers on the handover global quality and the patients trust in nurses.
Background: Oral end-of-shift nursing handovers can become moments of patient vulnerability. Moving handovers from nurses' offices to patients' bedsides is a means of improving them; however, implementing this remains a challenge.
Objective: Using a salutogenic approach, this study aimed to identify similarities in the protective factors of nurses' psychological Quality of Life (QoL) and professional wellbeing (PWB) in four countries and to assess their variability over time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This multicentric study used a longitudinal design with three measurements points: Autumn 2021, spring 2022, and autumn 2022. The study consisted in a self-administered online questionnaire addressed to nurses working in hospitals.
If the DNA world was preceded by a RNA world as widely suggested a rational pathway should be discernable to link the two. This report uses as a starting point a membrane-enclosed ribozyme capable of polymerising itself and its counterpart copy. As molecular complexity increased, it is suggested that a consortia of the initial ribozyme polymerase and chaperone molecules formed a complex specifically for RNA replication.
