Birth Doula Care in California During COVID-19: The Impacts of Social Distancing on a High-Touch Helping Profession.

Birth doulas were deemed "non-essential" personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic and were generally excluded from attending hospital births in person. This study documents the impacts of pandemic-related contextual factors on birth doula care in the San Francisco Bay Area, examines how doulas adapted their services, and explores implications for policy and practice. We employed a contextually bound qualitative case study methodology driven by social action theory and conducted interviews with 15 birth doulas.

Validation of the Palliative Care Nursing Self-Competence Scale for Oncology Nurses in the United States.

Oncology nurses care for persons with cancer and thus play an important role in providing palliative care to this population. However, a valid instrument to measure United States oncology nurses' confidence in providing palliative care service to persons with cancer is not available. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Palliative Care Nursing Self-Competence (PCNSC) scale in measuring oncology nurses' confidence in providing all aspects of palliative care to persons with cancer.

Psychometric Analysis of the 2016 Ohio Long-Term Care Facilities Family Satisfaction Scale.

Although the Ohio Family Satisfaction Survey (OFSS) has been around since 2002 as an important indicator of long-term care facilities' performance, the validity of this scale has not been evaluated. Using the Robust Maximum Likelihood Estimator Method in Mplus, psychometric analysis involving second-order construct validity or hierarchical construct validity was conducted using responses from 1636 facilities including nursing homes and residential care facilities ( = 32,424). The results showed that OFSS retained the 7-factor structure for the 7 domains and the factor loadings for each domain were above 0.

Variable selection for a mark-specific additive hazards model using the adaptive LASSO.

In HIV vaccine efficacy trials, mark-specific hazards models have important applications and can be used to evaluate the strain-specific vaccine efficacy. Additive hazards models have been widely used in practice, especially when continuous covariates are present. In this article, we conduct variable selection for a mark-specific additive hazards model.

Disability in Childhood, Special Education Histories, and Lifetime Health Outcomes in the United States.

Associations between attainment of incentivised primary care indicators and emergency hospital admissions among type 2 diabetes patients: a population-based historical cohort study.

Objectives: England has invested considerably in diabetes care over recent years through programmes such as the Quality and Outcomes Framework and National Diabetes Audit. However, associations between specific programme indicators and key clinical endpoints, such as emergency hospital admissions, remain unclear. We aimed to examine whether attainment of Quality and Outcomes Framework and National Diabetes Audit primary care diabetes indicators is associated with diabetes-related, cardiovascular, and all-cause emergency hospital admissions.

Are We Getting What We Really Want? A Systematic Review of Concordance Between Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Documentation and Subsequent Care Delivered at End-of-Life.

Background: Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatments (POLST) is an advance care planning (ACP) tool that is designed to facilitate End-of-Life (EoL) care discussions between a medical provider and a terminally ill patient. It is often used as a tool to translate care wishes into a medical order, which can be honored across healthcare settings. With an increased utilization of the POLST paradigm in various healthcare settings along with continued dissemination across the nation, it is critical to examine whether documented wishes on POLST are concordant with subsequent care delivered.
