Resident and family engagement in medication management in aged care facilities: a systematic review.

: Medication-related harms may occur if residents and families are not involved when important medication decisions are made. We examined how residents and families engage in the management of residents' medications in aged care facilities.: A systematic review was undertaken, which was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020152700).

Medication error trends and effects of person-related, environment-related and communication-related factors on medication errors in a paediatric hospital.

Aim: This study aimed to examine reported medication error trends in an Australian paediatric hospital over a 5-year period and to determine the effects of person-related, environment-related and communication-related factors on the severity of medication outcomes. In particular, the focus was on the influence of changes to a hospital site and structure on the severity of medication errors.

Methods: A retrospective clinical audit was undertaken over a 5-year period of paediatric medication errors submitted to an online voluntary reporting system of an Australian, tertiary, public teaching paediatric hospital.

Interdisciplinary medication decision making by pharmacists in pediatric hospital settings: An ethnographic study.

Objective: Children are particularly vulnerable to experiencing medication incidents in hospitals. Making sound medication decisions is therefore of paramount importance. Prior research has principally described pharmacists' role in reducing medication errors.

Difficulties with assessment and management of an infant's distress in the postoperative period: Optimising opportunities for interdisciplinary information-sharing.

Objectives: The importance of accurate paediatric patient assessment is well established but under-utilised in managing postoperative medication regimens.

Methods: Data for this case report were collected through observations of clinical practice, conduct of interviews, and retrieval of information from the medical record. This case report involving a hospitalised 1-year-old boy demonstrates the difficulties associated with assessing and managing postoperative distress, including pain and other clinical conditions related to the surgical procedure.

Medication communication between nurses and doctors for paediatric acute care: An ethnographic study.

Design: An ethnographic study was undertaken.

Nursing students' belongingness and workplace satisfaction: Quantitative findings of a mixed methods study.

Background: The relationship between nursing students' belongingness and workplace satisfaction has received limited attention in the literature to date.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between, and factors that may influence final semester nursing students' need to belong, sense of belonging and workplace satisfaction while on clinical placements.

Methods: A cross-national longitudinal multiphase explanatory sequential mixed methods study underpinned by a pragmatic theoretical framework was used for this study.
