Objectives: To explore the awareness and practice of clinical research integrity among Japanese physicians.
Design: A nationwide cross-sectional study conducted in March 2020.
Setting: All hospitals in Japan.
Aim: This study aims to examine the association between nursing delivery models (fixed-team nursing model and Partnership Nursing System® [PNS®]) and patients' health outcomes (30-day in-hospital mortality and functional decline, indicated by a decline in Barthel Index or in-hospital mortality).
Methods: This study used a retrospective cohort design based on the data from the Diagnostic Procedure Combination database, which included routinely collected health data for Japanese administrative claims. Participants were inpatients aged 20-99 years admitted between July 2010 and August 2012 (fixed-team nursing period) and July 2014 and August 2017 (PNS® period) to an academic teaching hospital in Japan.
Aim: To develop and test interrater reliability of an evidence-based fall risk assessment tool for nurses and to investigate how nurses perceived the clarity and usability of the tool.
Methods: In phase 1, an evidence-based fall risk assessment tool was developed based on a literature review and expert discussion. The finalized tool assessed 11 risk factors and comprised 23 items.
Background: Patient falls are the most common nursing care-related adverse event in hospitals. Extensive literature has been published on the predictive validity of fall risk assessment tools; however, there have been no studies examining the changes in predictive validity at different observation periods among hospital inpatients.
Objectives: To examine the predictive validity of a modified Japanese Nursing Association fall risk assessment tool and to compare its predictive validity at observation periods of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days.
