Use of Data from a Fever Registry (FEVEREG) to Identify Quality Improvement Opportunities in a Third-Level Hospital in Panama

Abstract Background Infectious diseases in childhood cancer patients are frequent and increase the morbimortality of these patients. Hospital del Niño doctor José Renán Esquivel initiated data collection in a registry of fever and neutropenia (FEVEREG) to evaluate outcomes and management of these diseases and identify opportunities for quality improvement. The objective of this study is to describe data collected to date. Methods Data was collected through a data collection instrument (CRF) using Trial Master platform. It was analyzed with R Data Analytics (version 4.3.2) and descriptive statistics summarized. Only patients who were admitted due to the febrile episode or were hospitalized when fever started were included. Results From Sept 2021 to October 2023, we captured 138 episodes in 70 patients, with a mean age of 8 years (range 0-15) and a similar percentage of female and male patients. The most common diagnosis was acute lymphoblastic leukemia (57.14%) and the episodes occurred more during the induction phase (24%) and in patients with a relapse protocol (31.5%). The time of administration of the antibiotic varied depending on the patient location at fever onset. 44% of outpatients (46/105) received the first dose of antibiotic more than 4 hours after the onset of fever, while hospitalized patients received this dose in the first hour in 64% of cases (21/33). Time from registration of outpatients until the first dose of antibiotic was an average of 71 minutes, with 60% of the patients receiving the antibiotic during the first 60 minutes. In 45.8% of the episodes, a blood culture was taken before starting the antibiotic. The febrile neutropenia algorithm was followed on 64.5% of the days evaluated, with the main cause of deviation being treatment to the focus of infection (55%) followed by clinical decision (41%). Bacteremia occurred in 26% of episodes (20/78) and 14% of episodes had documented viral infection (11/78). The most frequently isolated bacteria in blood was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13/33, 39.3%). Approximately 4% of the episodes (6/138) were admitted to the intensive care unit and died, half from septic shock and half from progressive disease. The average length of hospital stay was 12 days. Conclusion Data from FEVEREG has suggested opportunities for quality improvement in time to antibiotics and use of guideline compliant antibiotics (antimicrobial stewardship).

Comparative Analysis of the Profitability of Major Value-added Activities Along the Pineapple Value Chain in Ghana

This study aimed to analyze the profitability of sampled pineapple farmers, processors, and marketers in Ghana, which will help to assess how these actors optimize available resources to generate profits and achieve production efficiency. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used with interview schedules as the data collection instruments. The sample size was 320, 66, and 169, pineapple farmers, processors, and marketers respectively. The study found that pineapple production and processing were profitable, but marketing was not. The results showed a significant difference in the profit share of the group actors, highlighting that the profit share of each actor along the pineapple value chain is different. The results also showed that income, capital, and planting materials were the main determinants of farmers' profits. On the other hand, capital, pineapples, and packaging materials were the predictors of processors' profits. While transport, revenue, and loading and unloading costs predicted the marketer's profit. Based on these findings, the study recommended that NGOs and other partner agencies promote the pineapple industry in various ways to reduce poverty by providing credit facilities to actors to increase their productivity, profitability, and sustainability.

Pragmatic motivation and willingness to communicate as predictors of L2 pragmatic knowledge

AbstractAlthough language learners' knowledge of second language (L2) speech acts is postulated to be substantially influenced by learner variables, there is little empirical evidence of the influence of pragmatic motivation (PM) and willingness to communicate (WTC). To address this gap, this study sought to investigate the impact of PM and WTC as two important multifaceted learner variables on L2 speech‐act knowledge. The participants included 500 Persian‐speaking learners of English as a foreign language. The researchers developed and validated three instruments for data collection: a multiple‐choice discourse completion task (MDCT) including five common English speech acts, a PM questionnaire, and a WTC questionnaire. Data were collected in two subsequent phases. First, the MDCT was administered, and then the participants filled out the two questionnaires. Data analysis using multiple regression revealed that both PM and WTC significantly predicted L2 speech‐act knowledge. However, PM turned out to be a stronger predictor of this knowledge than WTC. The findings imply that PM and WTC are implicated in L2 pragmatic knowledge and hence language teachers should consider these two variables to help learners enhance their pragmatic acquisition.

The effectiveness of effriction and frirage massage therapy in reducing pain in knee injuries: a comprehensive review of 1-month and 2-month injuries duration

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of effriction and frirage massage therapy methods in reducing pain in knee injuries. A total of 64 participants (Male, BMI = 21.48 kg/m2, Age ± SD = 24,07 ± 2.72), who were classified by 1-month and 2-month injury duration, underwent various therapy regimens with 10-minute and 15-minute treatment durations. The data collection instrument used the NPRS scale. The results of the analysis showed that the effriction intervention significantly reduced knee pain in injuries with a history of 1 month and 2 months, with a consistent reduction in pain at both 10 and 15 minute durations (p-value = 0.000). In contrast, frirage interventions also showed a reduction in pain, but their effectiveness varied; A significant reduction in pain was only observed at a 10-minute duration for a 1-month history injury (p-value = 0.041) and at a 15-minute duration for a 2-month history injury (p-value = 0.028). There was no significant reduction in pain in frirage with a duration of 10 minutes for 2 months of injury and a duration of 15 minutes for 1 month of injury. Overall, the effriction technique is more effective than frirage in reducing knee pain in traumatic injuries. These findings support the recommendation to use effriction as the primary method in knee pain therapy, while frirage may be considered for more specific contexts. Keywords: Effriction; frirage; massage therapy; knee injuries; therapy duration

Impact of caring leadership on nurses’ work engagement: examining the chain mediating effect of calling and affective organization commitment

BackgroundPrevious studies have established a positive link between nurse managers’ caring leadership and nurses’ work engagement, but the processes and conditions through which this leadership style influences positive work behaviors remain largely unexplored. To address this gap and contribute to the existing body of knowledge, we developed a chain-mediated effects model to elucidate the impact of caring leadership on nurses’ work engagement and the underlying mechanisms. In this model, we identified professional mission and affective organizational commitment as the mediating variables, offering a novel perspective on the relationship between caring leadership and work engagement.MethodsA robust multi-center and large-sample cross-sectional survey was conducted, involving 2502 first-line nurses from six general tertiary hospitals across the eastern, central, and western regions of China. The data collection instruments included a comprehensive questionnaire covering demographic information, the caring leadership scale, the Chinese calling scale, the affective organizational commitment scale, and the Utrecht work engagement scale. Data were meticulously screened and analyzed, employing descriptive analysis to summarize the demographic information, correlation analysis to test the relationship among the variables, stepwise regression analysis to explore the mediating role of calling and affective organization commitment, and the bootstrap method to test the chain mediating effect. This rigorous methodology not only ensures the reliability and validity of research findings but also instills confidence in the robustness of this research.ResultsThe results indicated a positive relationship among caring leadership, calling, affective organizational commitment, and nurses’ work engagement (p < 0.001). Specifically, caring leadership was significantly associated with nurses’ calling (β = 0.55, p < 0.001), affective organizational commitment (β = 0.21, p < 0.001), and work engagement (β = 0.05, p < 0.001). And the analysis further revealed that calling and affective organizational commitment mediate the process between caring leadership and work engagement(Effect: 0.17, 0.03, 0.05), with a relative effect size of 89.3% for the total indirect effect. These findings highlight the crucial role of these factors in enhancing nurses’ work engagement, providing valuable insights for healthcare leaders and policymakers.ConclusionCaring leadership positively predicts nurses’ work engagement and indirectly mediates calling and affective organizational commitment. The results of this study revealed that the mechanisms of caring leadership influence nurses’ work engagement, which provides a new approach to strengthening nurses’ work engagement and improving patient healthcare outcomes and organizational performance. Healthcare organizations face continuous challenges; this study embodies the significance of caring leadership in improving nurses’ work experience and increasing their work engagement. Nursing managers should enhance their knowledge of caring leadership and receive caring leadership training, thus actively improving their leadership behaviors in nurse management, enhancing leadership effectiveness, and creating more possibilities for developing healthcare organizations.
