Objectives: This review aimed to investigate the relationship between staff experience and patient health and experience outcomes in hospital inpatient settings.

Design: Systematic review of reviews.

Methods: Searches were performed in Medline (OVID), CINAHL and Google Scholar using key terms from relevant review articles.

Evaluation of the Acceptability and Feasibility of Stress Mitigation Education and Support Delivered via Telehealth for People After Road Traffic Musculoskeletal/Orthopedic Injury.

Purpose: To evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a consumer co-designed telehealth intervention which aimed to reduce claimant distress by providing pain management strategies, informational and social support to people who had made a compensation claim following road traffic musculoskeletal injury.

Methods: Eleven claimant participants who were at risk of a poor outcome completed the intervention in a one-on-one setting with the same clinician delivering the program across all sessions.They were interviewed about their experience (acceptability and feasibility including the use of telehealth).

Delivery of Allied Health Interventions Using Telehealth Modalities: A Rapid Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

To determine whether allied health interventions delivered using telehealth provide similar or better outcomes for patients compared with traditional face-to-face delivery modes. A rapid systematic review using the Cochrane methodology to extract eligible randomized trials. Trials were eligible for inclusion if they compared a comparable dose of face-to-face to telehealth interventions delivered by a neuropsychologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, podiatrist, psychologist, and/or speech pathologist; reported patient-level outcomes; and included adult participants.

Stepped collaborative care for pain and posttraumatic stress disorder after major trauma: a randomized controlled feasibility trial.

Purpose: To examine feasibility and acceptability of providing stepped collaborative care case management targeting posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and pain symptoms after major traumatic injury.

Materials And Methods: Participants were major trauma survivors in Victoria, Australia, at risk of persistent pain or PTSD with high baseline symptoms. Participants were block-randomized, stratified by compensation-status, to the usual care ( = 15) or intervention ( = 17) group (46% of eligible patients).

Measuring Sleep Quality in the Hospital Environment with Wearable and Non-Wearable Devices in Adults with Stroke Undergoing Inpatient Rehabilitation.

Sleep disturbances are common after stroke and may affect recovery and rehabilitation outcomes. Sleep monitoring in the hospital environment is not routine practice yet may offer insight into how the hospital environment influences post-stroke sleep quality while also enabling us to investigate the relationships between sleep quality and neuroplasticity, physical activity, fatigue levels, and recovery of functional independence while undergoing rehabilitation. Commonly used sleep monitoring devices can be expensive, which limits their use in clinical settings.

Providing rehabilitation services to major traumatic injury survivors in rural Australia: perspectives of rehabilitation practitioners and compensation claims managers.

Purpose: The delivery of healthcare services in rural locations can be challenging. From the perspectives of rural rehabilitation practitioners and compensation claims managers, this study explored the experience of providing and coordinating rehabilitation services for rural major traumatic injury survivors.

Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 14 rural rehabilitation practitioners and 10 compensation claims managers were transcribed, and reflexive thematic analysis was conducted.

Interventions for social and community participation for adults with intellectual disability, psychosocial disability or on the autism spectrum: An umbrella systematic review.

Objective: This umbrella systematic review examined the effectiveness, facilitators, and barriers of interventions for social, community and civic participation for adults on the autism spectrum, or with intellectual or psychosocial disability.

Data Sources: Eight databases were searched to identify eligible reviews defined by the: Sample (≥50% adults on the autism spectrum or with intellectual or psychosocial disability), Phenomena of Interest (interventions in community settings that aimed to improve social, community or civic participation, or capacity to participate), Design (any), Evaluation (any method that evaluated impacts on participation or capacity to participate), and Research type (reviews as journal articles, dissertations or in grey literature, in English, published 2010-2020).

Review Methods: Rapid review methods were used.

A registry-based observational cohort study examining patterns of pain and mental health symptoms and their impact on work or other activities after injury.

Unlabelled: Purpose/Objective Research: This study aimed to examine patterns of pain and mental health after injury, and the patient characteristics associated with reductions in those symptoms.

Research Method/design: This registry-based observational cohort study included all people ≥ 16 years old hospitalized for unintentional injuries from 2007 to 2014 who were included in the Victorian State Trauma Registry or Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry, survived to 12-months postinjury and did not have severe brain injury or spinal cord injury ( = 31,073). Symptoms and related impacts were measured with pain Numerical Rating Scale, EuroQol Five Dimensions Three Level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), and 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) pain and mental health items at 6-, 12-, and 24-months postinjury.

Perspectives of major traumatic injury survivors on accessibility and quality of rehabilitation services in rural Australia.

Purpose: For the 30% of Australians who live in rural areas, access to rehabilitation services after sustaining a major traumatic injury can be challenging. This study aimed to explore the experience of rural major traumatic injury survivors accessing rehabilitation services.

Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 rural major traumatic injury survivors ( = 47.

Pain and mental health symptom patterns and treatment trajectories following road trauma: a registry-based cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterise recovery from pain and mental health symptoms, and identify whether treatment use facilitates recovery.

Methods: Victorian State Trauma Registry and Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry participants without neurotrauma who had transport injury claims with the Transport Accident Commission from 2007 to 2014 were included ( = 5908). Latent transition analysis of pain Numeric Rating Scale, SF-12, and EQ-5D-3L pain and mental health items from 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months post-injury were used to identify symptom transitions.

Driver, Collision and Meteorological Characteristics of Motor Vehicle Collisions among Road Trauma Survivors.

Road trauma remains a significant public health problem. We aimed to identify sub-groups of motor vehicle collisions in Victoria, Australia, and the association between collision characteristics and outcomes up to 24 months post-injury. Data were extracted from the Victorian State Trauma Registry for injured drivers aged ≥16 years, from 2010 to 2016, with a compensation claim who survived ≥12 months post-injury.

Injury perceptions and their association with recovery outcomes in adults with traumatic orthopaedic injuries: a scoping review.

Purpose: How people perceive their injury may be associated with recovery. This scoping review used the Common Sense Model of Illness Perceptions (CSM) as a framework to: (1) characterise injury perceptions; (2) describe biopsychosocial factors related to injury perceptions, and (3) determine how injury perceptions are associated with recovery outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A broad search strategy was used across eight databases to identify studies exploring injury perceptions and related concepts in adults with traumatic orthopaedic injuries.

Health status after penetrating major trauma in Victoria, Australia: a registry-based cohort study.

Purpose: As few studies have examined long-term health after penetrating injury, this population-based registry study sought to assess health outcomes up to 24 months post-injury.

Methods: Major trauma patients with penetrating trauma (2009-2017) were included from the Victorian State Trauma Registry (N = 1,067; 102 died, 208 were lost to follow-up). The EQ-5D-3L was used to measure health status at 6, 12 and 24-months.

Classification of road traffic injury collision characteristics using text mining analysis: Implications for road injury prevention.

Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Understanding circumstances leading to road traffic injury is crucial to improve road safety, and implement countermeasures to reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma. We aimed to characterise crash characteristics of road traffic collisions in Victoria, Australia, and to examine the relationship between crash characteristics and fault attribution.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Geographic Proximity and Treatment for People Referred to a Metropolitan Multidisciplinary Pain Clinic.

Objective: This study examined which patient characteristics are associated with traveling further to attend a metropolitan, publicly funded pain management service, and whether travel distance was associated with differences in treatment profile, duration, and percentage of appointments attended.

Design: Cross-sectional observational cohort study.

Method: Patients ≤70 years of age with a single referral between January 2014 and June 2018 who had not died within 12 months of their first appointment and who had a usual place of residence were included (N = 1,684; mean age = 47.

Compulsory and voluntary drug treatment models in China: A need for improved evidence-based policy and practice to reduce the loaded burden of substance use disorders.

In China, the majority of people who use drugs (PWUD) identified by authorities are admitted to compulsory isolated detoxification centers in which their treatment is administered by administrative and judicial systems that restrict their freedom. China's compulsory isolated detoxification centers have been criticized as an abuse of human rights. The two other primary models of drug treatment in China include community-based treatment and medically-oriented voluntary treatment.

Cortical thickness and resting-state cardiac function across the lifespan: A cross-sectional pooled mega-analysis.

Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across the lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health and disease. Resting-state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] and its variability [HRV] has been associated with brain morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have been mixed regarding the anatomical distribution and direction of the associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex and age differences in HR/HRV and CT.

Prognostic Role of Demographic, Injury and Claim Factors in Disabling Pain and Mental Health Conditions 12 Months after Compensable Injury.

Identifying who might develop disabling pain or poor mental health after injury is a high priority so that healthcare providers can provide targeted preventive interventions. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify predictors of disabling pain or probable mental health conditions at 12 months post-injury. Participants were recruited 12-months after admission to a major trauma service for a compensable transport or workplace injury ( = 157).

Association of fear-avoidance and self-efficacy on pain disability in individuals with co-morbid post-traumatic stress and chronic pain.

This study investigated relationships between post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and pain disability. Fifty people with chronic pain (probable PTSD,  = 22) completed measures assessing pain interference, PTSS, fear avoidance, and pain self-efficacy. We hypothesized that people with probable PTSD would have higher fear avoidance and lower pain self-efficacy; and that PTSS would be indirectly associated with pain disability via fear avoidance and self-efficacy.

Health and return to work in the first two years following road traffic injury: a comparison of outcomes between compensation claimants in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia.

Background: People who sustain road traffic injuries often have poor health outcomes. While outcomes are often worse in people with a compensation claim, especially in fault-based schemes versus no-fault schemes, few studies have directly compared outcomes across scheme types.

Objective: To compare health and work outcomes between people who had no compensation claim, a fault-based claim, or "no-fault" transport or workers compensation claim after hospitalisation for a road traffic injury.

Hypertension prevalence in patients attending tertiary pain management services, a registry-based Australian cohort study.

Persistent pain and hypertension often co-occur, and share several biological and lifestyle risk factors. The present study aimed to provide insight into the prevalence of, and factors associated with, hypertension in the largest cohort of patients seeking treatment in 43 tertiary pain clinics in Australia. Adults aged > = 18 years registered to the electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration registry between 2013 and 2018 were included if they had persistent non-cancer pain (N = 43,789).

A systematic review of the association between fault or blame-related attributions and procedures after transport injury and health and work-related outcomes.

Attributions of fault are often associated with worse injury outcomes; however, the consistency and magnitude of these impacts is not known. This review examined the prognostic role of fault on health, mental health, pain and work outcomes after transport injury. A systematic search of five electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library) yielded 16,324 records published between 2000 and January 2018.

The Association Between Fault Attribution and Work Participation After Road Traffic Injury: A Registry-Based Observational Study.

Purpose To characterise associations between fault attribution and work participation and capacity after road traffic injury. Methods People aged 15-65 years, working pre-injury, without serious brain injury, who survived to 12 months after road traffic injury were included from two Victorian trauma registries (n = 2942). Fault profiles from linked compensation claims were defined as no other at fault, another at fault, denied another at fault, claimed another at fault, and unknown.
