Aim: To measure safety performance, situational judgement test, which is a method composed of job-related situations, can be used. This study aimed to develop and test its psychometric properties by measuring the safety performance of healthcare professionals in German hospitals.
Design: An explorative cross-sectional study.
Methods: A team of researchers, nurses and physicians developed seven items, which focus on different safety areas. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each item. Cronbach's alpha was calculated as an indication of internal consistency. Spearman's correlation between the items was evaluated as analysis of construct validity. A cross-sectional survey with healthcare professionals in three German hospitals was conducted to test the developed instrument.
Results: A total of 168 healthcare professionals participated (response rate: 39.1%). 70.2% were women, and 38.7%, 33.9%, 15.5% and 11.3% were registered nurses, nurses in training, physicians and other healthcare professionals respectively. The situational judgement test demonstrated an acceptable psychometric performance.

Factors Influencing Telemedicine Adoption Among Health Care Professionals: Qualitative Interview Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
Center for Management, University of Münster, Münster, Germany.
Background: Telemedicine is transforming health care by enabling remote diagnosis, consultation, and treatment. Despite rapid adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine uptake among health care professionals (HCPs) remains inconsistent due to perceived risks and lack of tailored policies. Existing studies focus on patient perspectives or general adoption factors, neglecting the complex interplay of contextual variables and trust constructs influencing HCPs' telemedicine adoption.

With the development of deep learning methods for human pose detection, kinematics can be quantified based on a video and this study aimed to investigate whether a relatively simple 2D multibody model could predict relevant dynamic biomarkers based on the kinematics using inverse dynamics. Six participants performed ten vertical and forward single leg hops while the kinematics and the ground reaction force "GRF" were captured using an optoelectronic system coupled with a force platform.

Background: The Internet is a crucial source of health information, providing access to vast volumes of high-quality, up-to-date, and relevant healthcare information. Its impact extends beyond information access, influencing medical practice through the widespread adoption of telemedicine and evidence-based medicine. Despite the significant global increase in internet usage, Africa lags in internet penetration, particularly in utilizing the internet for health information.

PLoS One
January 2025
Nursing Department, Shanxi Mental Health Centre, Taiyuan, China.
Aim: To review the existing literature relating to nurse competence in safe medication management practices for biologics, identify evidence, and develop a competency framework to clarify the role of nurses in these practices.
Background: With the widespread use of biological agents in disease treatment, ensuring the safe and economical use of high-cost medicines is particularly important. Even though nurses are essential in patient care, detailed knowledge regarding their competence and role in the safe administration of biologics is lacking.
"I just felt that everything came tumbling down around me"-Barriers in cancer care for patients with severe mental illness: A qualitative study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Oncology, Vejle Hospital, University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Patients with severe mental illness experience serious inequity when facing cancer treatment. They are less likely to be referred for cancer treatment following recommended guidelines and have poorer cancer survival than patients without mental illness. Relevant specialties such as psychiatry and general practice are rarely involved, and the patient perspective is rarely represented in research in the field.
