Barriers and facilitators to guideline-recommended care of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the ED: a qualitative study using the theoretical domains framework.

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common presentation to the ED. Evidence suggests low adherence to guideline-recommended care, but the reasons underlying this are poorly understood. This study used the theoretical domains framework (TDF) to explore the barriers and facilitators to medical and physiotherapy clinical practices in the management of BPPV in an Australian metropolitan ED.

Early Postnatal Discharge for Infants: A Meta-analysis.

Context: Postnatal length of hospital stay has reduced internationally but evidence-based policies to support earlier discharge are lacking.

Objective: To determine the effects of early postnatal discharge on infant outcomes.

Data Sources: CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature , and SCI (Science Citation Index) were searched through to January 15, 2018.

Improving health, wellbeing and parenting skills in parents of children with special health care needs and medical complexity - a scoping review.

Background: Parenting children with special health care needs can be challenging particularly if children have complex conditions. Parents may struggle to manage their child's health and their own emotions, contributing to poorer health outcomes for the family. Frequent healthcare contact presents opportunities to intervene, but current evidence review is limited.

"I keep hearing reports on the news that it's a real problem at the moment": Public health nurses' understandings of sexting practices among young people.

Over the past decade, the potential harms regarding young people's use of technology have attracted mounting political, media and research attention worldwide. One practice engaged in by many young people is that of "sexting" and the sharing of partially, or complete nude images ("selfies"). Such images are not always retained within private spaces and are prone to be shared, with significant psychosocial consequences for young people involved.

How public health nurses' deal with sexting among young people: a qualitative inquiry using the critical incident technique.

Background: Globally, the potentially harmful effects of using cell phone technology for 'sexting' among young people, is a public health concern. The background literature indicates that sexting might have adverse psychosocial consequences for some young people who share partially nude images ('selfies'). Public health nurses (PHNs) could offer guidance to children and young people on digital safety, yet little is known about their role in this regard.

Improving health, well-being and parenting skills in parents of children with medical complexity: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Less than 1% of children have complex medical conditions but account for one-third of all child health spending. The impact of suboptimal management of this group of children can have a considerable effect on families as well as services. Some families appear to cope more easily than others do, but there are compelling reasons to suggest that effective interventions may improve family coping and ultimately outcomes.

Management of type III female genital mutilation in Birmingham, UK: a retrospective audit.

Objectives: to audit clinical management of women with type III female genital mutilation (FGM) according to local guidelines. Secondary objectives were to describe the population that uses the service and compare obstetric outcomes of intrapartum deinfibulation and antenatal deinfibulation.

Timed Up and Go test is not useful as a discharge risk screening tool.

Objective: To determine whether the 'Timed Up and Go' (TUG) test is a useful test for predicting re-attendance at an ED, emergency hospital admission or death within 90 days in elderly patients discharged from the ED.

Methods: This was a prospective blinded cohort study at a tertiary referral ED. Patients completed a TUG test during their Allied Health assessment prior to discharge from the department.
