[Description of the characteristics of invasive home mechanical ventilated patients in Bavaria using routine data from the MD Bavaria].

The number of patients with invasive home mechanical ventilation (IHMV) in Germany is vastly increasing. Currently, only limited data is available on the characteristics of these patients. The aim of the present study was to describe the health care situation of IHMV patients living in Bavaria using routinely collected data within the project OVER BEAS.

Development and pilot-testing of an evidence-based quality indicator set for home mechanical ventilation care: the OVER-BEAS project.

Background: The number of patients depending on home mechanical ventilation (HMV) has increased substantially in Germany in recent years. These patients receive long-term care in different nursing facilities (nursing home, shared living community, private home). However, there are limited data available on the quality of care of HMV patients.

Concept of the term long lie: a scoping review.

Background & Aims: The term "long lie" is often used when individuals who have fallen are unable to stand up on their own, so they have to lie unintentionally for a longer period of time until they are noticed and can be helped. Although long lie can lead to both short- and long-term physical and psychological effects, little is known about what describes the term. The aim of this review is to identify what characterizes the term.

[Advanced Nursing Practice as a concept of care for people with outpatient ventilation in Germany: Results of a demand- and curriculum analysis].

Introduction: Outpatient intensive care for people on home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is a complex area of care with high demands on the nurses specialised in this field. Internationally, academic qualification as an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) has become established in these fields of specialised care. Despite the large number of further training opportunities, there is no university qualification for home mechanical ventilation in Germany.

For this purpose, a standardized online survey of university lecturers was conducted in the first step. In the second step, the curricula of the existing study programs were analyzed.

[Complexity of outpatient intensive care for ventilated people: Cross-mapping into the standardised NNN-taxonomy].

Complexity of outpatient intensive care for ventilated people: Cross-mapping into the standardised NNN-taxonomy In Germany, free text is the preferred method for recording the nursing process in outpatient intensive care, although classification systems could enable a more precise description. How is nursing care for people with outpatient ventilation represented by the NNN-taxonomy and what are the recommendations for nursing practice? A qualitative "multiple case" design was applied. Using deductive content analysis (data sources: nursing documentation and secondary analysis of interviews with affected persons), several cases, both individually and across all cases were linked to the NNN-taxonomy (cross-mapping).

Comparing the quality of care for long-term ventilated individuals at home versus in shared living communities: a convergent parallel mixed-methods study.

Background: People on home mechanical ventilation (HMV) belong to a heterogeneous population with complex care needs. In Germany, outpatient intensive care is provided in people's private home (PH) or in shared living communities (SLC). Increasing patient numbers have led to criticism of the quality of care in recent years.

Therapy options for those affected by a long lie after a fall: a scoping review.

Background: After a fall, more than half of older people living alone are unable to get up or get help independently. Fall-related recumbency makes affected individuals aware of functional status limitations and increased vulnerability. Patient-centered therapy is needed to manage physical, psychological, and social needs.

[Analysis of the weaning process in intensive care patients with regard to documentation and transfer to further treatment units].

Background And Objectives: Weaning from ventilators is not always finished in the primary intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Transfer to other treatment facilities is a sensitive stage in the treatment and rehabilitation of the weaning patient. The aim of the present study was to investigate transition management and interhospital transfer of weaning patients, with special emphasis on documentation quality.

[German nursing study programs from the students' perspective: First results of a nationwide longitudinal study].

German nursing study programs from the students' perspective: First results of a nationwide longitudinal study The Nursing Professions Act establishes a concrete framework for academic nursing education in Germany for the first time. The primary qualifying nursing courses started in 2020 and will be accompanied by a systematic reporting of students' experiences over a period of three years. The article presents the results of the initial survey period (2021) on the students' point of view.

[Ventilation Patients between Acute Care and Long-term Out-of-Hospital Ventilation - Routine Documentation based Analysis of the Care Situation].

Background:  The number of invasive and non-invasive long-term out-of-hospital ventilations has been increasing rapidly for years. At the same time, there is poor information on the quality of care of out-of-hospital ventilated patients. The present investigation was conducted as part of the OVER-BEAS study.

How to improve the quality of care for people on home mechanical ventilation from the perspective of healthcare professionals: a qualitative study.

Background: The rapid increase in the use of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) for people with chronic respiratory failure poses extreme challenges for the healthcare system. People on HMV have complex care needs and require support from an interprofessional team. In Germany, HMV is criticised for inadequate quality standards, particularly in outpatient intensive care practice.

Method: With a cross-sectional design, German health professionals were asked about their stress experience, health concerns and work commitment.

[Attitudes to publication of quality testing reports in nursing homes].

Background: The Nursing and Living Quality Act (PfleWoqG) regulates the implementation of legally regulated quality inspections and publication of statutory quality inspection reports for residential nursing homes in Bavaria. In the currently valid version, the quality records have to be published but a decision of the higher administrative court (VGH) repealed this rule and it is no longer in force.

Objective And Methods: Within the framework of a project for the Bavarian State Ministry for Health and Nursing concerning the revision of the publication of legally regulated quality testing reports, appraisals by the institutional management in nursing homes were collated.
