Impact of parent-reported antibiotic allergies on paediatric Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs.

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is crucial for optimising antimicrobial use and restraining emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective: Compare the clinical outcomes for children with a reported antibiotic allergy label (AAL) with those with no AAL reviewed by AMS.

Factors influencing direct breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal wards and the provision of breastfeeding support: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review will be to synthesize the qualitative evidence on factors that influence direct breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal wards and the provision of breastfeeding support.

Validation of the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes Scale: The Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of the Brazilian Version.

Background/objectives: In the literature, few instruments have been identified to measure the stigma of health professionals toward people with mental illness. In Brazil, until 2021, the literature did not indicate the validation of an instrument or the construction of an instrument for this purpose. Considering this gap, this study aimed to validate and estimate the reliability of the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes Scale, version 4 (MICA-4) for the Brazilian context, examining the psychometric properties through the analysis of its internal consistency and factor structure.

Considering that men today face social and cultural pressures to behave in certain ways, the objective of this study was to analyze the construction of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) from the perspective of university students who identify themselves as male in a developing country. This is a qualitative study carried out through semi-structured interviews, with 15 students from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from May to July 2021. The data were analyzed thematically and anchored in the ecological framework of understanding violence.

Psychometric Characteristics of the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale (QONCS): A Validation Study.

Objectives: Quality care in healthcare settings shortens hospitalization, reduces infection rates and complication risks, and improves patients' ability to manage their symptoms. Due to the absence of tools for assessing care quality in Italian oncology settings, this study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale (QONCS).

Methods: The study comprised 4 phases.

ASPMN 2024 Position Statement: Pain Assessment in the Patient Unable to Self-Report.

Recognizing and managing pain is especially challenging for vulnerable populations who cannot communicate their discomfort. Because there is no valid and reliable objective measure of pain, the American Society for Pain Management Nursing advocates for comprehensive assessment practices articulated in a Hierarchy of Pain Assessment. These practices require gathering relevant information to infer the presence of pain and evaluate a patient's response to treatment.

Interventions to attract medical students to a career in primary health care services in the European Union and peripheral countries: a scoping review.

Background: In the European Union and peripheral countries, the availability of physicians working in primary health care services (PHCS) varies greatly and all countries report shortages and difficulties in recruiting more. The broad consensus that giving access to PHCS to all is a policy priority, reinforced by the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, implies that a sufficient fit-for-purpose workforce is available. This article focuses on physicians and reports on what countries have done, and with what success, to attract more medical students to a career in PHCS.

Co-designing a digital family-led intervention for delirium prevention and management in adult critically ill patients: An application of the double diamond design process.

Background: Co-designing healthcare interventions is gaining recognition as a novel and collaborative method. Co-design involves end-users from the start, ensuring that an intervention best meets their needs. Despite its potential benefits, this approach is not yet widely used in developing clinical interventions within intensive care units where the perspectives of patients, family members, and clinicians are crucial.
