This descriptive study aimed examine role meetings MDTs whose institutions are members Sydney Catalyst Translational Cancer Research Centre.We designed a structured 40-item survey instrument topics that included purpose, organization, resources documentation; caseload estimates;...
Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a common complication often unrecognised and mistreated in individuals with incontinence. It the erosion of skin from prolonged exposure to urine and/or faeces incontinence mistaken for pressure injury. People experience considerable discomfort such as pain, burning itching affected areas (buttocks, perineum gluteal clefts). The prevention management IAD involves assessing managing implementing care regimen protect maintain integrity...
To explore the experience of patients with incontinence and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) in acute care hospitals their family caregivers, including perceptions management, as well impact on wellbeing.
Pathways to lung cancer diagnosis and treatment are complex. International evidence shows significant variations in pathways. Qualitative research investigating pathways rarely considers both patient general practitioner views simultaneously.To describe the diagnostic pathway, focusing on perspective of patients practitioners about pretreatment intervals.This qualitative study with Australia used interviews or a focus group which participants responded semistructured questionnaire designed...

Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the effect of an intervention on prevalence and severity incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) in six hospitals one state Australia. This quasi‐experimental pre‐and post‐study, conducted 18 wards, was part a larger implementation science dermatitis. Skin incontinence assessments were patients during February March 2020 (pre‐intervention) July August 2021 (post‐intervention). comprised continence assessment management, education brochure for patients,...
This pilot study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of a fluidised positioning device reduce occipital pressure injuries (PIs). A post‐test design with historical control group was used in 54‐bed intensive care unit between September 2017 August 2018. Patients who were receiving either extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, mechanically ventilated, or had raised intracranial (≥20) recruited. The intervention consisted under patient's head, skin assessment every 8 h....
Objectives The aims of this study were to determine the costs hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) in one local health district Australia and compare consequences an intervention-based program with current practice reduce HAPI incidence prevalence. Methods A retrospective cost-consequence analysis was conducted using rate per occupied bed days, point prevalence rates, Australian Refined-Diagnosis Related Group (AR-DRG) rate. Data analysed for two phases: preprogram implementation (1...
