Identifying impaired mental health in diabetes: a cross-sectional study in general practice.

Background: Type two diabetes (T2D) is linked to impaired mental health. International guidelines emphasise the importance of including psychological aspects in diabetes care. Yet, no systematic approach has been implemented to assess mental health in patients with T2D in general practice.

Improving mental health in chronic care in general practice: study protocol for a cluster-randomised controlled trial of the Healthy Mind intervention.

Background: Mental health issues are common among patients with chronic physical conditions, affecting approximately one in five patients. Poor mental health is associated with worse disease outcomes and increased mortality. Problem-solving therapy (PST) may be a suitable treatment for targeting poor mental health in these patients.

Managing mental health in chronic care in general practice: a feasibility study of the Healthy Mind intervention.

Background And Objective: Mental health issues are common among patients with chronic physical conditions. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the Healthy Mind intervention, a general practice-based programme that provides problem-solving therapy (PST) to patients with poor mental well-being and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and/or ischaemic heart disease (IHD).

Design And Setting: A one-arm feasibility study was conducted in three general practices in the Central Denmark Region.

[Inflammatory spinal arthritis].

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is an inflammatory arthritis mainly affecting the axial skeleton and large peripheral joints. Age of onset is typically 20-35 years. However, symptoms of SpA is often overlooked or interpreted as common low back pain, postponing an effective treatment.

Major Differences in the Use of Protocols for Dispatcher-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Among ILCOR Member Countries.

Introduction And Purpose: Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) increases the rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). DA-CPR is recommended by resuscitation councils globally and it has been shown that the general public expects to receive pre-arrival instructions while waiting for help. A scientific advisory from the American Heart Association identifies standardized and structured DA-CPR protocols as important to increase bystander CPR rates.

Basic life support training: Demonstration versus lecture - A randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Basic life support (BLS) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) improve survival from cardiac arrest. The gold standard for teaching BLS/AED is yet to be identified. The aim of this study was to compare the learning outcome of an instructor-led demonstration with a formal lecture for introducing BLS/AED skills.

A novel protocol for dispatcher assisted CPR improves CPR quality and motivation among rescuers-A randomized controlled simulation study.

Background: Emergency dispatchers use protocols to instruct bystanders in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Studies changing one element in the dispatcher's protocol report improved CPR quality. Whether several changes interact is unknown and the effect of combining multiple changes previously reported to improve CPR quality into one protocol remains to be investigated.

E-learning in pediatric basic life support: a randomized controlled non-inferiority study.

Objective: Dissemination of pediatric basic life support (PBLS) skills is recommended. E-learning is accessible and cost-effective, but it is currently unknown whether laypersons can learn PBLS through e-learning. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate whether e-learning PBLS is non-inferior to instructor-led training.
