Influence of an enhanced recovery programme on clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life after pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum Whipple - an explorative and comparative single-centre study.

Background: The introduction of enhanced recovery programmes (ERP) in pancreatic surgery has significantly improved clinical outcomes by decreasing the length of hospital stay, cost and complications without increasing readmissions and reoperations. To complement evidence on these outcomes, there is a need to explore patients' perspectives of a structured ERP. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients before and after implementing ERP in pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum Whipple (PD) at a regional surgical centre.

First-line managers' experiences of and reflections on structural conditions for management practice in hospital settings.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe first-line managers' (FLMs') experiences and reflections on structural conditions for management practice within hospital settings using Kanter's theory of structural empowerment.

Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative deductive approach with a descriptive design was used. Interviews were conducted with 11 FLMs in charge of medical or surgical hospital units spread across Sweden.

Technology frustration in healthcare - does it matter in staff ratings of stress, emotional exhaustion, and satisfaction with care? A cross-sectional correlational study using the job demands-resources theory.

Background: Health information technology has developed into a cornerstone of modern healthcare. It has changed workflows and enhanced communication, efficiency, and patient safety. However, technological development has progressed faster than research on its potential effects on care quality and the healthcare work environment.

Individual and unit level insights from hospital staff ratings on structural empowerment, leadership-management performance, well-being, and quality of care.

Background: Leadership and access to structural empowerment are known to influence the work life experiences of staff and quality of care. Knowledge about relationships between specific factors of structural empowerment, leadership and management, staff well-being and quality of care at both an individual and unit level is scarce.

Aim: To study the relationship between staff-rated access to empowering structures, leadership and management performance, well-being, and quality of care in hospital settings measured at the individual level and aggregated at the unit level.

Palliative care consultation in the last week of life and associated factors: a cross-sectional general population study.

Background: Knowledge of access to palliative care services, such as palliative care consultation teams, is crucial to identify areas of improvement for policy and practice. Research on general populations spanning all disease groups and multiple healthcare contexts is needed.

Objective: The objective was to investigate the sociodemographic, disease- and care-related, and care structure-related factors associated with palliative care consultations for adult patients in the last week of life.
