Implementation of Sepsis Prevention Guidelines for Nurses into a Clinical Practice

Background: Sepsis is one of the most serious complications in intensive care patients, which is associated with high mortality and morbidity of critically ill patients. Measures based on the effective prevention are one of the main strategies of treating patients. Aseptic procedures, barrier nursing techniques, selection of equipment used for the treatment as well as the replacement frequency of protective barriers are preferred nursing interventions of sepsis with regard to the prevention. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the importance of nursing interventions and aspects of the incidence of sepsis and infectious complications in ICU patients, including analysis of erroneous nursing procedures that could affect the formation of sepsis. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by data collection from medical records and observation of patients hospitalized at the Clinic of Anesthesiology and Intensive-care during the period from January 2019 to December 2022. The overall sample consisted of 736 patients who were diagnosed with sepsis by a doctor according to confirmed infectious etiology. Data were processed by descriptive statistics, frequency tables and x2 (chi-square) test were used for evaluating and the Fisher's exact test was used for small frequency (n <5). Statistical tests were assessed at the significance level of 5. There were identified 231 patients with sepsis, 106 patients with confirmed infectious etiology, 31 patients with confirmed non- infectious causes (SIRS) and 7 cases of other infectious cause was confirmed during hospitalization. Another category of patients was represented by cases, in which the positive sputum was found in injection site infection, in positive punctate in wound, in purulent secretion from the wound or bacterial findings in urine without general symptoms of infection. Nursing interventions were analyzed with regard to the prevention of sepsis patients in intensive care. Results: The largest number of sepsis was proved in 2019 (26.23%) and in 2020 (20.01%), while in 2021 (11.67%) and 202022 (14.02%) there was recognized a decrease in sepsis. According to the etiology there was significant share of VAP and catheter sepsis compared to uremic and early infection Out of the nursing procedures that have proven to be important for the prevention of VAP there were identified a closed suction method, the selection of the endotracheal tube, the use of semi recumbent position. Selection of the catheter, puncturesite selection, use of infusion filters or disinfection options were found as important examples in the prevention of catheter sepsis. Using a closed circuit system has proved to be the most effective in urinary tract infections. The results clearly show the effect of educational activities of working group on compliance with the rules of asepsis, compliance with barrier nursing activities and practices that are entirely in the hands of the nursing staff. Conclusions: All preventive measures are in accordance with the recommendations of CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and SHEA (The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America) that recommend the education and training of the staff. The objective is to increase awareness of the necessity of preventive measures which help to reduce the incidence of infection with subsequent sepsis in patients in intensive care. Regular education and practical training can not only improve the quality of care, but we can also implement new procedures into the practice with regard to the nursing staff awareness of the importance of sepsis prevention at intensive care units.

Strengthening Accessibility and Inclusivity in Libraries: The Role of Adaptive Technology in Supporting Visually Impaired Users

Libraries have long been recognized as key institutions in democratizing access to knowledge and information, yet users with visual impairments still face significant barriers to accessing these resources. The purpose of this research is to explore how adaptive technologies can improve accessibility and inclusivity in libraries for users with visual impairments. Using a qualitative methodology involving in-depth interviews and content analysis of library websites, this study assessed the effectiveness of current adaptive technologies and identified barriers to their use. The results show that, although adaptive technologies such as screen readers and indoor navigation systems hold great potential to improve user experience, there are still gaps in implementation and library staff awareness of the specific needs of visually impaired users. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of holistic integration of adaptive technologies in library service strategies to ensure equal access. Based on these findings, this paper recommends better staff training, the development of strong inclusive policies, and collaboration with disabled people's organizations to improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of libraries, thus supporting wider social participation of visually impaired users.

Hospital professional staff awareness of hospital plans for the provision of teams for medical support in case of disasters

Background/Aim. Resuscitation and surgical medical aid are the most important medical procedures in disaster re-lief operations. The limited time frame available for life-saving activities in such circumstances demands that resuscitation and surgical medical teams be established and trained for timely reaction and disaster medical support prior to disaster occurrence. The aim of the study was to analyze the awareness among the hospital medical staff in the Plovdiv Region of the hospital response plan in case of disaster, which concerns surgical and resuscitation team composition and tasks for disaster medical support. Methods. An anonymous survey, consisting of 55 questions about hospital staff awareness of the medical activities described in the hospital disaster medical support plan, was conducted between July and September 2019 among 295 hospital medical professionals in the Plovdiv Region, Bulgaria. Descriptive statistics and Pearson?s ?2 test were used in the statistical analysis of results. Results. The survey showed that the majority of medical staff demonstrated complete ignorance regarding the presence, number, and tasks of the specialized medical teams planned for hospital disaster response. Employees of multidisciplinary hospitals for active treatment were more familiar with the aforementioned plans than their colleagues from the university multidisciplinary hospitals. Conclusion. Insufficient awareness about human resources foreseen for disaster medical support negatively impacts the hospital surge capacity, leading to inadequate medical assistance in such cases. Hospital tactical disaster preparedness must be ameliorated by conducting a more rigorous training program among medical staff related to the planned hospital activities in case of disastrous events, especially for those working in emergency departments, intensive care units, and surgical departments.

Strategies for Reporting Medication Errors in Hospitals; An Integrative Review

Background: Despite focused efforts on error prevention, the incidence of medication errors (MEs) occurring in the health care system continues a concern. Patient harm can be diminished or prevented by adequate reporting processes that include identifying, analyzing, and correcting MEs on time. Both medication error prevention and reporting strategies are critical components in advancing patient safety. Methods: To analyze the strategies used by the Health Care Professionals (HCPs) to facilitate reporting medication errors in a health care setting, an integrative review of the literature, guided by Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) five-step process, was applied for the period between 2011-2021. With a comprehensive search conducted using PubMed, DSL, Google Scholar databases, nine articles only met our inclusion criteria which are, in the English language, performed by peers and full-text articles that answered the guiding questions included in this review. Result: The articles were analyzed in terms of objectives, methodological path, main results, and recommendations for improvement. The analysis reveals that MEs reporting strategies are varied either web-based, paper-based, or Technician Enhanced Administration of Medication (TEAM) model. Staff awareness and non-blame culture are influencing HCPs' ability to adopt the proper strategy for reporting MEs, understanding of HCPs' characteristics and organizational factors that influence error reporting can foster the development of effective strategies to report MEs and enable organizations to enhance patient safety.

ISSUES OF LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENT DECISION ACT IN CLINICAL PRACTICE FOR INDIVIDUALS AT THE END OF LIFE

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the status and issues related to the patient’s decision-making regarding life-sustaining treatment (LST) in clinical practice and to provide strategic suggestions to improve the hospital policy. The retrospective observational study was conducted with adult patients, admitted between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2021, who went through the end-of-life process and died in a university hospital in Korea. The electronic data included age, gender, admission date, expiration date, and Do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) and LST-related data (date to sign, who signed, and clinical state when signed). A total of 916 patients were included. Only 4.1% of the patients decided on LST by themselves, while the decision was made mainly by the family, specifically children (54.2%). The time of signing DNAR consent was before eight days from the date of death (33.7%) and the previous day of the death (27.6%). While early warning score was used to predict the critical state of the patients, the period from the date of sign to the date of death was 8.9 (SD=25.7) days for DNAR and 2.76 (SD=6.95) days for LST. Strategic suggestions were made to facilitate the timing of signing the consent form for LST based on the early warning score, and encourage patient involvement in the decision-making process. Further efforts are required to improve the awareness of patients and medical staff on the implementation of LST and to clarify the ambiguity of the timing of document preparation.

Assessment Tools for Measuring Health Literacy and Digital Health Literacy in a Hospital Setting: A Scoping Review.

Assessment of (digital) health literacy in the hospital can raise staff awareness and facilitate tailored communication, leading to improved health outcomes. Assessment tools should ideally address multiple domains of health literacy, fit to the complex hospital context and have a short administration time, to enable routine assessment. This review aims to create an overview of tools for measuring (digital) health literacy in hospitals. A search in Scopus, PubMed, WoS and CINAHL, following PRISMA guidelines, generated 7252 hits; 251 studies were included in which 44 assessment tools were used. Most tools (57%) were self-reported and 27% reported an administration time of <5 min. Almost all tools addressed the domain 'understanding' (98%), followed by 'access' (52%), 'apply' (50%), 'appraise' (32%), 'numeracy' (18%), and 'digital' (18%). Only four tools were frequently used: the Newest Vital Sign (NVS), the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy for Adults ((S)TOFHLA), the Brief Health Literacy Screener (BHLS), and the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). While the NVS and BHLS have a low administration time, they cover only two domains. HLQ covers the most domains: access, understanding, appraise, and apply. None of these four most frequently used tools measured digital skills. This review can guide health professionals in choosing an instrument that is feasible in their daily practice, and measures the required domains.

Protein-based coating strategy for preparing durable sunlight-driven rechargeable antibacterial, super hydrophilic, and UV-resistant textiles

With the improvement of the hygiene awareness and pathogen prevention awareness of patients and medical staff, textiles with efficient and long-lasting pathogen inactivation effects are urgently needed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has rapidly developed into a new type of antibacterial technology due to its high antibacterial activity and has received widespread attention. However, the commonly used photosensitizers are mostly inorganic nanomaterials, which have poor adhesion to textiles and are not environmentally or human friendly. Here, we report a strategy of preparation of a sunlight-driven rechargeable antibacterial textiles based on natural antibacterial agents, which can work in light and dark conditions. The prepared BD-PTL@wool has long-lasting antibacterial properties, can rapidly produce ROS, and can store sterilization activity under light irradiation, ensuring all-day bacterial killing (>99.95 % under light irradiation and >99.80 % under dark conditions after light irradiation). BD-PTL@wool has excellent reusability, and the antibacterial rate can still above 95 % after repeated use for 5 times. In addition, BD-PTL@wool has excellent hydrophilic, UV resistance, biocompatibility and can withstand 50 washing cycles. The successful application of this strategy in textile preparation broadens the research idea for exploring the application of green photosensitive antibacterial materials in textile field.

Implementation of morbidity and mortality conference in a community hospital NICU and narrative review.

The process of morbidity and mortality review (MMR) is recognized as an essential component of quality improvement, patient safety, attitudes towards patient safety, and continuing education. Despite the common use of MMR for all disciplines of medical care, recommendations have not been published regarding the implementation of MMR in a community hospital setting in the United States. Review the literature on MMR conferences. Describe the implementation of an MMR conference in a community hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The establishment of a case overview method of MMR is feasible for a community hospital NICU. It increases staff and physician group awareness and education over common and complex mortality and morbidity etiologies, improves staff participation with unit management, links case presentation with open discussion and action items, and identifies opportunities for systemic changes to improve patient care.

Improving the quality of self-management in discharged patients with multiple sclerosis: a best practice implementation project.

This project determined current compliance with best practice recommendations for self-management in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and used a web-based intervention to implement strategies to improve the quality of self-management in discharged patients with MS. Guided by the JBI Evidence-based Model of Health care, this project applied the 7 phases of the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework to improve the quality of self-management in MS patients. After implementation, compliance significantly improved across all criteria compared with the baseline audit. All patients were assessed to determine their ability to self-manage (Criterion 1). All health care providers were trained to facilitate self-management and behavioral change (Criterion 2). All patients had self-management goals and action plans that were set together by both health care providers and patients (Criteria 3, 5, 6, 7). All patients received education through online patient education courses and were given an education handbook (Criterion 4). The agreed action plan was documented (Criterion 8). All members of the multidisciplinary team coordinated the services required by the patients (Criterion 9) and provided appropriate support to help patients achieve their goals and solve problems through a WeChat group and the communication module on the self-management online platform (Criterion 10). This implementation project effectively promoted practice change by enhancing patients' knowledge of self-management and staff awareness of delivering self-management support to MS patients.

Utilisation of mobile technologies in outreach services at the National Archives of Zimbabwe

This article focuses on investigating the utilisation of mobile technologies in outreach services at the National Archives of Zimbabwe (NAZ). The study adopted a case study strategy anchored on an interpretivist paradigm. Data were gathered from interviews with a purposively selected maximum variation sample of NAZ staff members and from relevant primary documents and physical artefacts. The collected data were thematically analysed and presented in accordance with the research objectives. The findings established that staff were aware of and keen to adopt mobile technologies for outreach purposes. However, negative conditions at NAZ such as limited access to the internet, lack of a clear policy, equipment, and technical support hindered mobile technology adoption for outreach purposes. The study established that the disparity between staff awareness levels and institutional preparedness influenced staff members’ adoption of mobile technologies outside official channels. As such, mobile technologies used in outreach services at NAZ were ad hoc. Overall, the study established that mobile technology utilisation at NAZ was in the elemental stages, where use variety, breadth and intensity were constrained. The study recommends that NAZ should craft a policy to regulate and institutionalise the use of mobile technologies for outreach purposes, and upgrade their ICT facilities.

UK Nurses Delivering Physical Activity Advice: What Are the Challenges and Possible Solutions? A Qualitative Study

There are a multitude of health benefits gained from regular physical activity (PA). Currently, PA advice implementation from NHS nurses is inadequate despite their ever-increasing role in lifestyle and preventive medicine. By assessing their knowledge of current PA guidance, this study proposed to investigate the issues with regular PA advice being given and expand upon nurses’ proposed barriers and solutions. A qualitative approach using semi structured interviews was undertaken between March and August 2023 involving 13 NHS nurses. Thematic analysis was undertaken using Braun and Clarke’s six step approach. Four themes and fifteen subthemes emerged as barriers and solutions in delivering PA advice. Intrinsic barriers included a lack of nurse knowledge on the topic and PA being seen as an afterthought. Extrinsic barriers included time pressures and a lack of staff engagement. Solutions involved increasing staff awareness of guidelines through teaching, policy, encouraging staff to be active and optimising PA advice delivery through a piecemeal approach and utilising online and visual resources. This study displayed an insight into nurses’ thoughts on their consultations with patients regarding PA, and proposed several barriers and solutions. Further work is needed to improve nurses’ PA knowledge and to assess the proposed strategies to improve its delivery.

Implementation and Impacts of California Senate Bill 1152 on Homeless Discharge Protocols.

In recent decades, there has been a growing focus on addressing social needs in healthcare settings. California has been at the forefront of making state-level investments to improve care for patients with complex social and medical needs, including patients experiencing homelessness (PEH). Examples include Medicaid 1115 waivers such as the Whole Person Care pilot program and California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM). To date, California is also the only state to have passed a legislative mandate to address concerns related to the hospital discharge of PEH who lack sufficient resources to support self-care. To this end, California enacted Senate Bill 1152 (SB 1152), a unique legislative mandate that requires hospitals to standardize comprehensive discharge processes for PEH by providing (and documenting the provision of) social and preventive services. Understanding the implementation and impact of this law will help inform California and other states considering legislative investments in healthcare activities to improve care for PEH. To understand health system stakeholders' perceived impact of SB 1152 on hospital discharge processes and key barriers and facilitators to SB 1152's implementation, we conducted 32 semi-structured interviews with key informants across 16 general acute care hospitals in Humboldt and Los Angeles counties. Study data were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Participants perceived several positive impacts of SB 1152, including streamlined services, increased accountability, and more staff awareness about homelessness. In parallel, participants also underscored concerns about the law's limited scope and highlighted multiple implementation challenges, including lack of clarity about accountability measures, scarcity of implementation supports, and gaps in community resources. Our findings suggest that SB 1152 was an important step toward the goal of more universal safe discharge of PEH. However, there are also several addressable concerns. Recommendations to improve future legislation include adding targeted funding for social care staff and improving implementation training. Participants' broader concerns about the parallel need to increase community resources are more challenging to address in the immediate term, but such changes will also be necessary to improve the overall health outcomes of PEH.

Persepsi Dan Hambatan Tenaga Medis Dalam Penerapan Clinical Pathway: Literatur Review

Clinical pathways involve the health team and part of the patient's records. Hence, team dynamics become a principal factor that needs to be appraised during implementation. Clinical pathways were considered as an additional workload for medical personnel. This research aims to review articles that discuss the perceptions and barriers among medical personnel in implementing clinical pathways. The articles were searched through the PubMed, Willey, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases, which were published no less than ten years period from 2010 to 2020. The keywords used perception OR response AND barriers OR obstacles AND clinical pathway OR care. The pathway corresponds to the title and purpose of the review and is in full-text form. In total, eight articles meet the review criteria and objectives. The results showed that clinical pathways are perceived as a process that is directed at realizing benefits, creating habits, and requiring enthusiasm, support, and time. Obstacles for medical personnel that often arise in implementing clinical pathways include not having enough time, lack of direction and guidance, lack of staff awareness, lack of compliance in documentation, and lack of staff commitment. Conducting a direct study on evaluating the implementation of clinical pathways in hospitals is recommended.

Workplace oral health promotion activities among community-aged care workers: A qualitative exploration.

The workplace is an ideal-and priority-setting for health promotion activities. Developing and implementing workplace health promotion interventions, including oral health promotion activities, can help create health-supporting workplace environments. To pilot workplace oral health promotion activities among staff working in the aged care sector, report their impact and explore participants' views on the factors that contribute to participation and effectiveness. This study comprised three phases: (i) the development and face validation of the resources, (ii) a 3-h educational session and (iii) five interview sessions with participants 4-6 weeks following the education session. The recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Eleven community-aged care workforce were invited to five feedback sessions. Ten participants were female and ranged in age from 18 to 64. All participants gave favourable comments about the content and delivery of the training session and accompanying resources. The participants felt that the benefits of WOHP include improved staff knowledge, awareness and oral care routine, the ability to share (and put into practice) the gained knowledge and information with their dependants, a lower risk of having poor oral health that adversely affects their well-being and work tasks, and potentially beneficial impacts on the organization's staff roster. Their attendance in the WOHP was facilitated by being paid to attend and scheduling the sessions during work time. Future WOHP suggestions include the possibility of a one-stop dental check-up at the workplace or staff dental care discounts from local dental practitioners and combining oral health with other health promotion activities. Planning and implementing WOHP was deemed acceptable and feasible in this study context and successfully achieved short-term impacts among community-aged care workers. Appropriate times and locations, organizational arrangements and a variety of delivery options contributed to successful programme planning and implementation.

Assessment of Food Safety Control Measures and Organisational Sustainability: A Case of Selected Hotels in Kigali, Rwanda

This study aimed to investigate the sustainability of selected hotels in Rwanda in relation to food safety management procedures. The study focused on assessing the impact of government food safety guidelines, workplace food safety procedures, staff food safety awareness, and government policies on the sustainability of these hotels. A sample of 283 food service staff from selected hotels in Kigali city was chosen at random, with a sample size of 166. Data was analyzed using SPSS to determine the effect of food safety management methods on profitability. Results showed that the findings on food safety guidelines were reliable, with standard deviation values above 0.312 but less than 1, indicating closeness of individual responses. Workplace food safety procedures had high mean values, indicating strong evidence of the existence of such practices. Food safety awareness had standard deviation values above 0.311 but smaller than 1, indicating closeness of individual responses. Government policies had standard deviation values above 0.310 but much less than 1, indicating closeness of responses. Regression analysis revealed that an increase in food safety guidelines, procedures, staff awareness, and government policies would lead to an increase in sustainability for selected hotels in Kigali city. All hypotheses were rejected, suggesting that RDB should supervise these hotels and empower all staff, as well as sensitize hotel owners on the objectives of food safety. The institution should also ensure that all staff are empowered and sensitized to the importance of food safety in the hospitality industry.
