Importance Greater use of novel digital technologies could be associated with improved health outcomes and save care costs by detecting smaller melanomas earlier (needing less treatment) or benign tumors no treatment). Objective To compare effects 3-dimensional (3D) total-body photography (TBP) sequential dermoscopy imaging (SDDI) vs usual for early detection melanoma. Design, Setting, Participants This prespecified cost-effectiveness analysis using randomized clinical trial (n = 309) data 2...
Abstract The purpose of this cross‐sectional study was to identify the prevalence incontinence and incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) in Australian acute care patients describe products worn manage incontinence, those provided at bedside for perineal skin care. Data on 376 inpatients were collected over 2 days a major teaching hospital. mean age sample group 62 years 52% male. rate 24% (91/376). Urinary significantly more prevalent females (10%) than males (6%) ( χ = 4·458, df 1, P...
To develop and psychometrically test the Barriers to Nurses' use of Physical Assessment Scale.There is growing evidence failure recognize hospitalized patients at risk clinical deterioration, in part due inadequate physical assessment by nurses. Yet, little known about barriers nurses' acute hospital setting no validated scales have been published.Instrument development study.Scale was based on a comprehensive literature review, focus groups, expert review psychometric evaluation. The scale...
A novel automatic framework is proposed for global sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV risk prediction. Four machine learning methods, namely, Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Random Forest (RF), XG Boost, Ensemble GBM-RF-XG Boost are applied evaluated on the Demographic Health Surveys Program (DHSP), with thirteen features ultimately selected as most predictive features. Classification generalization experiments conducted to test accuracy, F1-score, precision, area under curve...
This exploratory study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators of a nurse-led satellite pilot clinic improve sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, treatment, prevention in an Australian male correctional center. A descriptive qualitative research design was utilized inform program evaluation. Qualitative data were collected from nurses via semi-structured interviews, incarcerated participants who attended the through open-ended satisfaction survey responses. Data analyzed using...
Three-dimensional (3D) total-body photography (TBP) can support clinicians in monitoring and identifying changes to skin lesions patients at high risk of melanoma. To assess clinical outcomes between melanoma receiving usual care compared with those plus 3D TBP sequential digital dermoscopy imaging (SDDI) every 6 months via teledermatology. This randomized trial was conducted a research hospital Brisbane, Australia, from April 2018 October 2021, adult (≥18 years) developing primary or...
Aims and objectives To determine consensus across acute care specialty areas on core physical assessment skills necessary for early recognition of changes in patient status general wards. Background Current approaches to are inconsistent have not evolved meet increased system demands. New models nursing needed wards that ensure a proactive safety approach. Design A modified Delphi study. Methods Focus group interviews with 150 registered nurses at large tertiary referral hospital generated...
Perhaps no other patient safety intervention depends so acutely on effective interprofessional teamwork for survival than the hospital rapid response system. Yet, little is known about nurse-physician relationships when rescuing at-risk patients. This study compared nursing and medical staff perceptions of a mature system at large tertiary hospital. Findings indicate that may be failing to address hierarchical culture systems-level barriers early recognition deterioration.
Introduction Melanoma is Australia’s fourth most common cancer. Early detection fundamental in maximising health outcomes and minimising treatment costs. To date, population-based screening programmes have not been justified economic studies. However, a skin surveillance approach targeting high-risk individuals could improve the cost-benefit ratio. Methods analysis This paper describes 2-year longitudinal randomised controlled trial (RCT) to compare routine clinical care (control) with an...
BackgroundModernisation in the healthcare landscape has seen spread of integration health information technology to replace paper-based systems with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. Although this become accessible most settings globally, its adoption into nursing school curricula as a teaching tool and learning strategy is slow. Universities are now faced number challenges ensure midwifery students well-equipped use new upon graduation determine how best integrate undergraduate...
Professional practice guidelines for endoscope reprocessing recommend endoscopes between each case and proper storage following after the last of list. There is limited empirical evidence to support efficacy prior use in first day; however, internationally, many continue this practice.
