Acute abdominal pain in triage: A retrospective observational study of the Manchester triage system's validity.

Objective: Roughly 5% to 10% of patients admitted to the emergency department suffer from acute abdominal pain. Triage plays a key role in patient stratification, identifying patients who need prompt treatment versus those who can safely wait. In this regard, the aim of this study was to estimate the performance of the Manchester Triage System in classifying patients with acute abdominal pain.

Living on the Own Island? Aligned Collaboration Between Family Physicians, Nurses, Dieticians, and Patients With Diabetes Type 2 in an Outpatient Care Setting in Northern Italy: Findings From a Qualitative Study.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), one of the four most important chronic diseases worldwide, is generally considered to be preventable. However, it is not yet sufficiently clear whether an aligned collaboration between different health professions could facilitate behavioral changes to be made by patients with DM2 regarding their eating and physical activity habits.

Objective: To explore if and how far in current outpatient care for 3 health-care professions it is an objective to collaborate with each other supporting patients with DM2 in changing their eating and physical activity habits.

Errors in nurse-led triage: An observational study.

Background: Nurses play a crucial role in correctly prioritizing patients entering emergency departments. However, little is known of the accuracy of nurse-led triage systems.

Objectives: (1) To determine the frequency of nurse-led triage errors within the Manchester Triage System; (2) to explore patient, work environment and individual nurse factors associated with triage errors; and (3) to explore associations between triage errors and patient outcomes (i.

Performance of the Manchester Triage System in patients with dyspnoea: A retrospective observational study.

Background: Between 1% and 7.5% of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) suffer from dyspnoea. The Manchester Triage System is one of Europe's most used triage systems considering five levels to prioritize patients in the ED: level 1 (red), immediate; level 2 (orange), very urgent; level 3 (yellow), urgent; level 4 (green), standard; level 5 (blue), non-urgent.

Triage of patients with fever: The Manchester triage system's predictive validity for sepsis or septic shock and seven-day mortality.

Objective: Up to 15% of patients arrive in the emergency department suffering from fever. Triage is their first contact and is responsible for the stratification of patients according to the severity of the condition for which they are presenting at the emergency department. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive validity of the Manchester Triage System in patients with fever for sepsis or septic shock and seven-day mortality.

[From bedside to evidence - and back to bedside. 5 years evidence-based guidelines in South Tyrol: methods and experiences].

In South Tyrol we developed guidelines with two different methodological approaches: one relates to the autonomous development of a nursing guideline for oral care using GRADE, and the other relates to the adaptation process of the NICE guideline on the prevention of venous thromboembolism. Both methods do have advantages and disadvantages: by autonomously developing guidelines the guideline panel identifies more with the product but time and effort is much higher than adapting and amending existing (high quality) guidelines. On the other hand there are only few high quality nursing guidelines.

Building a subset of ICNP terms for oncological patients.

The present project was undertaken applying ICNP to internistic-oncological patients. This project investigated the coverage of this patient group by mapping terminology used in practice with ICNP. The specific aim was to build a subset of ICNP terms for oncological patients that can be used as a basic data catalogue for computerised nursing documentation.
