Highlights This intervention utilized the Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behavior to address knowledge social barriers that increase dairy farm workers’ risk antimicrobial-resistant infections. Dairy workers gained a significant in 8 desired outcomes, related occupational health skills reduce risks, from our intervention. Limited time was major barrier as why felt like they could not make behavioral changes would their risk. farmworkers showed strong likelihood making workplace...
ABSTRACT: Adolescents working in agricultural settings may be exposed to noise levels that result hearing loss. The article describes the design, implementation, and results of a four‐year, conservation program (HCP) conducted at school. Thirty‐four schools (753 students) were randomly assigned either an intervention or control group. included multicomponent educational strategies employed features industrial HCP. Final compliance surveys indicated 87.5% students reported using protection...
To identify themes associated with patient perceptions of antibiotic use and the role patients in inpatient antimicrobial stewardship.
Abstract Background Inappropriate ordering and acquisition of urine cultures leads to unnecessary treatment asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). Treatment ASB contributes antimicrobial resistance particularly among hospital-acquired organisms. Our objective was investigate culture collection practices nurses identify key system-level human factor barriers facilitators that affect optimal practices. Methods We conducted two focus groups, one with ED the other ICU nurses. Questions were developed...
The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety was used to identify opportunities for safety culture improvement in a 30‐bed intensive care unit. Based the survey results, core team decided focus three domains: reporting errors, approachability of authority figures and handovers. project subsequently interviewed 39 unit staff members, gathering information these domains that will inform future efforts. Numerous barriers facilitators were described. This mixed‐methods approach could be applied other...
Improper inhaler technique is a common problem affecting asthma control and healthcare costs. Telephonic management can increase access to care while reducing costs hospitalizations. However, no reliable method has been established for telephonically evaluating correcting technique.The purpose of this study was pilot test assessing patient via telephone.Participants (n=30) were adults with using metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) diskus inhalers. A pharmacist located in one room communicated...
We had the rare opportunity to conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial observe long-term (16-year) effects of well-designed hearing conservation intervention for rural high school students. This assessed whether resulted in (1) reduced prevalence noise-induced loss (NIHL) clinically and/or (2) sustained use protection devices.In 1992-1996, 34 Wisconsin schools were recruited and 17 assigned randomly receive comprehensive, 3-year, intervention. In 2009-2010, extensive efforts made find...
Abstract Background Patient‐centredness is considered an essential aspiration of a high‐quality health‐care system, and patient engagement critical precursor to patient‐centred care. Objectives To engage patients, providers stakeholders in identifying recommendations address research practice gaps that impact young African American breast cancer survivors. Methods This paper reported approach for priority setting. applies process (January‐September 2018) using stakeholder groups,...
Contaminated surfaces in healthcare settings contribute to the transmission of nosocomial pathogens. Adequate environmental cleaning is important for preventing pathogens and reducing healthcare-associated infections. However, effective practices vary considerably. We examined management services (EMS) staff experiences perceptions surrounding describe perceived challenges ideas promote an program.Qualitative study.Frontline EMS staff.From January June 2019, we conducted individual...
