The presence of the family member/companion of the hospitalized child in the perioperative period: contributions to pediatric nursing

Objectives: to describe the experiences of the family member/companion of a child undergoing orthopedic surgery in the perioperative period; to analyze the presence of the family member/companion of the child undergoing surgery in the perioperative period with the concepts of family care described by Ingrid Elsen. Method: a qualitative study based on the concepts of family care described by Ingrid Elsen. A non-directive group interview was carried out with nine family members/carers of hospitalized children. Results: in the preoperative period, the reactions of the children's relatives/carers and the team were diverse due to the child's and their companion's previous information and the team's technical-scientific knowledge. In the operating room, the testimonies pointed to the child's safety in the presence of the family member/companion. In the post-operative period, the interviewees highlighted the success of the surgery and the children's life expectancy. Final considerations: The presence of a family member/companion in the perioperative period increases family-child-team interaction, establishing situations conducive to child- and family-centered care.

Determinants of an effective digital transformation in construction organisations: a qualitative investigation

PurposeDigital uptake amongst construction organisations is described as slow and ineffective, undermining a fundamental transformation and limiting construction firms from exploiting the digital benefits. In this space, meaningful research that utilises a qualitative approach in pursuit for employees' insights towards digital transformation is lacking. Such limited focus from previous efforts presents an opportunity to illuminate the determinants of an effective digital transformation that are, arguably, responsible for the status quo of low digital uptake in the construction sector. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned idea.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a qualitative approach to address the literature's digital discreetness in construction. The qualitative approach captures employees' perspectives through its unbounded characteristic of encouraging illustration and discussion.FindingsThis paper captures 35 digital transformation determinants under three clusters, namely, organisation related, i.e. hierarchy, size and management, people related, i.e. team orientation, training and knowledge and leadership related, i.e. awareness, attitude, approach and leaders' characteristics. Findings suggest a new set of arguments in relation to understudied factors and their influence on the digital uptake in construction organisations.Originality/valueThis paper offers empirical indication of the determinants believed to influence an effective digital transformation in construction organisations. Such conceptualisation is crucial and is depicted as perceived by construction employees and practitioners, which is a less biased approach than that of comparable studies that argue the viewpoints of industry leaders in isolation of other members of the hierarchy.

The impact of heterogeneous shared leadership in scientific teams

Leadership is evolving dynamically from an individual endeavor to shared efforts. This paper aims to advance our understanding of shared leadership in scientific teams. We define three kinds of leaders, junior (10–15), mid (15–20), and senior (20+) based on career age. By considering the combinations of any two leaders, we distinguish shared leadership as “heterogeneous” when leaders are in different age cohorts and “homogeneous” when leaders are in the same age cohort. Drawing on 1,845,351 CS, 254,039 Sociology, and 193,338 Business teams with two leaders in the OpenAlex dataset, we identify that heterogeneous shared leadership brings higher citation impact for teams than homogeneous shared leadership. Specifically, when junior leaders are paired with senior leaders, it significantly increases team citation ranking by 1–2 %, in comparison with two leaders of similar age. We explore the patterns between homogeneous leaders and heterogeneous leaders from team scale, expertise composition, and knowledge recency perspectives. Compared with homogeneous leaders, heterogeneous leaders are more impactful in large teams, have more diverse expertise, and trace both the newest and oldest references.

Applying design research for cross-disciplinary collaboration: Experiences from a gamification process

This study explores applying design science research (DSR) frameworks to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration towards game development. It uses a DSR framework proposed by Peffers et al (2014) to integrate the knowledge and experiences of a cross-disciplinary research team and develop a game which gamifies the investment decision-making process of energy communities. The framework employed for this paper constituted five phases around problem identification, definition of solution objectives, artefact design and development, demonstration and evaluation. The iterative process of the framework allowed for gradual but incremental improvement in the outcome and the associated artefacts and sustained researcher collaboration. The resultant interactive in-person game required the participants (or their teams) to navigate through the complexities of the decision-making process in a community while considering factors such as information asymmetry, uncertain return on investments, time constraints, etc. The game was instantiated twice and was able to engage players effectively. Moreover, the post-game evaluation indicated that the players acquired learning about energy communities. The participants developed an understanding of the game only gradually and their engagement in the later rounds of the game. Three distinct investment strategies emerged from the two instantiations (diversification, focus on centralised options, or focus on decentralised options). The participants preferred to maintain a strategy rather than reacting situationally. This gamification experience, albeit applicable to this specific research context, shows that DSR frameworks can be successfully applied to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration because they allow for more flexible and iterative knowledge exchange. The post-game evaluation helped identify avenues for further improvements, such as focusing on incremental-iterative development of the output, expanding the flexibility and visibility of the game, involving a more balanced research team, etc. The contribution of this study lies in extending the discourse on cross-disciplinary collaboration by incorporating DSR frameworks and demonstrating the application of game-based learning beyond end-user application.

To Share or Not to Share? Knowledge Convergence and Divergence in Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

For cross-disciplinary teams to be effective, what knowledge should be shared and what knowledge should remain unique to individual team members? We adopted a mixed-method approach using a sample of grant-funded teams composed of principal and co-principal investigators of diverse disciplines. Interviewees and survey respondents especially favored knowledge similarity over uniqueness for team vision and teamwork, but less preference for convergence emerged for research outcomes and research content (theory, operational details of methodology, analysis). Moreover, more team knowledge convergence was associated with higher perceived collaboration satisfaction and trended in the direction of more grants, publications, and conference presentations.

Comparing the Efficacy of an Electronically Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program to a Mental Health Check-In Program for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Trial.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a prevalent anxiety disorder, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) being the gold standard treatment. However, it is inaccessible and costly to many, as the mental health industry is overwhelmed by the demand for treatment. This means effective, accessible, and time-saving strategies must be developed to combat these problems. Web-based interventions for mental health disorders are an innovative and promising way to address these barriers. While electronically delivered CBT (e-CBT) has already proved productive and scalable for treating anxiety, other less resource-intensive interventions can be innovated. Checking up on mental health face-to-face has been shown to provide similar benefits to patients with anxiety disorders previously, but more research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of web-based delivery of this intervention. This study will compare the efficacy of e-CBT and a web-based mental health check-in program to treat GAD. These programs will both be delivered through a secure, web-based care delivery platform. We will randomly allocate participants (N=100) who are 18 years or older with a confirmed diagnosis of GAD to either an e-CBT program or a mental health check-in program over 12 weeks to address their anxiety symptoms. Participants in the e-CBT arm will complete predesigned modules and homework assignments while receiving personalized feedback and asynchronous interaction with a therapist through the platform. Participants in the mental health check-in arm will be contacted weekly through the web-based platform's written chat feature (messaging system). Therapists will ask the participants a series of predesigned questions that revolve around a different theme each week to prompt conversation. Using clinically validated questionnaires, the efficacy of the e-CBT arm will be compared to the mental health check-in arm. These questionnaires will be completed at baseline, week 6, and week 12. The study received ethics approval in April 2021, and participant recruitment began in May 2021. Participant recruitment has been conducted through targeted advertisements and physician referrals. Complete data collection and analysis are expected to conclude by August 2023. Linear and binomial regression (continuous and categorical outcomes, respectively) will be conducted. To the research team's knowledge, this will be the first study to date comparing the efficacy of e-CBT with a web-based mental health check-in program to treat GAD. The findings from this study can help progress the development of more scalable, accessible, and efficacious mental health treatments.

Challenges and recommendations for advancing respite care for families of children and youth with special health care needs: A qualitative exploration.

Caring for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) is a significant undertaking for families. While respite care is intended to address this burden, demand continues to exceed supply. Exploring the perspectives of respite service providers (SPs) and stakeholders (SKs) provides unique insight into families' needs and respite care systems. We conducted semistructured interviews with 41 respite care SPs and SKs across four Canadian provinces to ascertain perspectives on current and ideal respite care for families of CYSHCN. The analysis included delineating units of meaning from the data, clustering units of meaning to form thematic statements and extracting themes. The second-level analysis involved applying themes and subthemes to cross-functional process maps. Participants noted the critical, but sometimes absent role of Community Service Workers, who have the ability to support families accessing and navigating respite care systems. SPs and SKs identified current respite systems as operating in crisis mode. New findings suggest an ideal respite care system would incorporate advocacy for families, empower families and value CYSHCN, their families and respite workers. The evidence of unmet respite care needs of families of CYSHCN across Canada has long been available. Our findings identifying respite system challenges and solutions can be used by funders and policymakers for planning and enhancing resources, and by healthcare professionals, respite care providers and SKs to understand barriers and take action to improve respite outcomes to meet the respite needs of all families and CYSHCN. The research team is composed of patients, researchers, clinicians and decision-makers along with our Family Advisory Committee (FAC) composed of members of families of CYSHNC. The FAC was formed and met regularly with research team members, knowledge users and collaborators throughout the study to provide input on design, review themes and ensure findings are translated and disseminated in a meaningful way.

The role of social start-ups in entrepreneurial behaviour: the search for efficiency

PurposeIn a world where sustainability is a major aim at all socioeconomic levels, social entrepreneurship plays an important role in achieving the goals that have been set. The purpose of this study is to broaden the knowledge of social start-ups, social incubators and founding teams, highlighting the value of each one. The aim is to use quantitative analysis to determine the possible link between social incubators and social start-up success and identify the founding team profile of social start-ups from each sector according to a sector-based ranking.Design/methodology/approachBootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used to calculate the efficiency of social incubators and social start-ups and thus quantify the impact, in terms of increased efficiency, of social incubators on social start-ups. Then, using cross-efficiency methodology, a synthetic index was used to analyse the founding team profile of social start-ups. The study is based on primary data from a survey of Spanish social incubators and social start-ups.FindingsThe study provides strong quantitative evidence of the positive effect of social incubators on the development of social start-ups. The size of this effect exceeds the know-how of start-ups. In terms of efficiency gains, this research quantifies the impact of social incubators on this entrepreneurial ecosystem. This impact exceeds 35%. The study also shows that the strongest social start-ups are in the food and information and communication technology (ICT) sectors. The founding teams in these cases have a strong business background, have a high educational level, receive subsidies and express a desire to retain control of the company.Originality/valueThere is an extensive literature dedicated to the analysis of the behaviour and characteristics of traditional incubators, accelerators and start-ups. However, despite the recent rise of social entrepreneurship, studies of social incubators and social start-ups remain scarce. This study provides two novel findings. (1) It shows the importance of creating a social start-up in a context where it receives support throughout all its development stages, providing quantitative insight into the contribution of social incubators and social start-ups. (2) It reveals the profile of founding teams in the highest-ranked business sectors.

Sharing Knowledge in Multi-generational Teams in Remote Working Conditions During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has contributed to changing the philosophy of managing a multi-generational team. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by a general atmosphere of uncertainty, which creates a sense of chaos and disorganization. Its effects are felt by numerous organizations from many industries. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to maintain business continuity by implementing remote work. Companies are increasingly opening up to remote work, seeing many new opportunities in it that they want to actively use. Hence, there is an urgent need for companies to develop effective actions that will motivate a multi-generational team to share knowledge, strengthen its skills and competences in this area, and build commitment to ongoing work for optimal performance of permanent duties. Although it requires more effort, especially from the managerial staff, remote implementation of the duties entrusted to multi-generational teams may prove effective in achieving business goals thanks to the knowledge and experience of specialists. Team management in the covid reality has taught Polish managers that in order to stimulate people to be active in sharing knowledge, it will be crucial to show care for the needs of employees and integrate them with the goals of the organization. This approach underlies how companies manage multi-generational teams efficiently in the Covid reality and will pay off in the future.The considerations in the article were based on literature studies and the analysis of the results of surveys conducted from March to November 2022 on a group of 258 people representing all generations.The first part of the study is of a theoretical nature and discusses the factors determining the efficient sharing of knowledge in multi-generational teams in conditions of remote work forced by the epidemiological situation. The second part of the study concerns pilot studies conducted in Polish companies in order to obtain and analyze the opinions of employees regarding the conditions for sharing knowledge in the situation of remote work, which came suddenly. This article is an attempt to answer the question of whether belonging to a specific generational group has a positive effect on the transfer of knowledge during a pandemic. Obtaining a cross-sectional nature of the considerations is a contribution to further and extended research in the field of the issues raised.

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHNHSFT) is actively participating in the Magnet4Europe® research study, which aims to advance nursing excellence and promote evidence-based practice. As part of this initiative, the Nursing, Allied Health Professional and Midwifery Research Council at GHNHSFT has been actively engaging colleagues in evidence-based practice and research. This has been achieved through the development of sessions using the Critically Appraised Topics (CATs) framework, where clinical questions and relevant research articles are discussed. This article describes the collaborative approach between the Lead Nurse for Continual Professional Development and the Deputy Manager of the Library and Knowledge Services to develop and run the sessions. Collaboration between clinical staff and library and knowledge teams can be useful in encouraging healthcare professionals' engagement with the evidence base in order to consider changes to practice.

Dynamics of knowledge sharing in professional service teams: The case of auditing teams in Vietnam

This study aims at examining how team knowledge sharing changes through stages of professional service teams. While knowledge sharing within a team is a dynamic process, it has primarily been explained through static models. Based on the data from qualitative interviews with 36 auditors from 12 auditing teams in Vietnam, a theory on team knowledge sharing dynamics is developed. The key findings are three knowledge sharing modes utilized as a professional project moves through stages, from Transferring to Integrating to Role-Modeling. Each mode reflects a different combination of knowledge types, sharing motivations, and mechanisms. The study implies that it is important for managers to recognize the dynamic and multidimensional nature of team knowledge sharing.

Dietitian-led micronutrient management in a public bariatric surgery outpatient clinic.

This study aimed to explore the multidisciplinary team attitudes and knowledge of bariatric surgery micronutrient management (pre- and postoperative care) and to evaluate the implementation of an extended-scope of practice dietitian-led model of care for micronutrient monitoring and management. A mixed method study design included quantitative evaluation of micronutrient testing practices and deficiency rates. Qualitative reflexive thematic analysis was used to interpret multidisciplinary experience with micronutrient monitoring in a traditional and dietitian-led model of care. In addition, deductive analysis used normalisation process theory mapping of multidisciplinary experience with the implementation of the dietitian-led model of care. In the traditional model, a lack of quality evidence to guide micronutrient management, and a tension in trust between surgeons and patients related to adherence to micronutrient prescriptions were described as challenges in current practice. The dietitian-led model was seen to overcome some of these challenges, increasing collaborative, and coordinated, consistent and personalised patient care that led to increased testing for and detection of micronutrient deficiencies. Barriers to sustainability of the dietitian-led model included a lack of workforce succession planning, and no clearly defined delegation for some aspects of care. An extended scope dietitian-led model of care for micronutrient management after bariatric surgery improves clinical care. Challenges such as succession planning must be considered in design of extended scope services.

Multilevel influences of team social media usage on creativity: the moderating effect of knowledge leadership

ABSTRACT Based on knowledge management theory, this study proposes a multilevel model to examine the mediating mechanisms and boundary conditions of the impact of team social media usage (TSMU) on team creativity and on employee creativity. Hierarchical linear modelling analysis was conducted using time-lagged and multi-source research data collected from 431 employees within 57 work teams in China. The results indicate the following: (a) TSMU exerts a positive direct effect on team creativity and on employee creativity. (b) TSMU is positively correlated to team creativity via team knowledge utilisation and to employee creativity via employee information elaboration. (c) Knowledge leadership positively moderates the influence of TSMU on team knowledge utilisation and on employee information elaboration. (d) Knowledge leadership positively moderates the mediating effect of team knowledge utilisation and the mediating effect of employee information elaboration. These findings contribute to the existing research on TSMU and creativity, providing valuable insights into the role of knowledge leadership.
