Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how the timing of follow-up visits after a concussion affects the likelihood of children and youth seeking further health care.
- - Analyzing data from 21,029 diagnosed cases in British Columbia, results showed that delayed follow-ups increased the odds of additional health care visits compared to timely follow-ups, while no follow-ups decreased those odds.
- - Conclusions suggest that timely follow-up visits are crucial for better health outcomes post-injury, highlighting the need for more research on their role in injury prevention and symptom management.
Objectives: To explore the rates and timing of a first follow-up visit for children and adolescents with a concussive injury and to identify factors associated with follow-up timing.
Methods: A descriptive, correlational design drawing on linked, population-based administrative data of concussed children and adolescents (ages 5-18 years) from the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Data were accessed through Population Data BC.
Background: Leadership has been consistently identified as an important factor in shaping the uptake and use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies in nursing; however, the nature and scope of leadership remain poorly delineated. This lack of detail about what leadership entails limits the practical actions that can be taken by leaders to optimize the implementation and use of mHealth technologies among nurses working clinically.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of first-level leaders' implementation leadership characteristics on nurses' intention to use and actual use of mHealth technologies in practice while controlling for nurses' individual characteristics and the voluntariness of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use of mHealth technologies.
Objectives: A room of horrors simulation is one tool that healthcare educators use to improve learners' awareness of patient safety hazards and other critical matters in a safe and controlled environment. This review aimed to summarize research on use of room of horrors simulation in healthcare education, examine its effectiveness, and recommend directions for future education and research.
Design: A systematic review of the literature.
Background: Concussions are a significant health issue for children and youth. After a concussion diagnosis, follow-up visits with a health care provider are important for reassessment, continued management, and further education.
Objective: This review aimed to synthesize and analyse the current state of the literature on follow-up visits of children with a concussive injury and examine the factors associated with follow-up visits.
