<b>Objective</b> To determine whether hospitals with a good organisation of care (such as improved nurse staffing and work environments) can affect patient workforce stability in European countries. <b>Design</b> Cross sectional surveys patients nurses. <b>Setting</b> Nurses were surveyed general acute (488 12 countries; 617 the United States); 210 430 US hospitals. <b>Participants</b> 33 659 nurses 11 318 Europe; 27 509 more than 120 000 US. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Nurse outcomes...
Variation in post-operative mortality rates has been associated with differences registered nurse staffing levels. When levels are lower there is also a higher incidence of necessary but missed nursing care. Missed care may be significant predictor patient following surgery. Examine if mediates the observed association between and mortality. Data from RN4CAST study (2009–2011) combined routinely collected data on 422,730 surgical patients 300 general acute hospitals 9 countries, survey...
Background: Despite concerns as to whether nurses can perform reliably and effectively when working longer shifts, a pattern of two 12- 13-hour shifts per day is becoming common in many hospitals reduce shift handovers, staffing overlap, hence costs. Objectives: To describe patterns European investigate length beyond contracted hours (overtime) associated with nurse-reported care quality, safety, left undone. Methods: Cross-sectional survey 31,627 registered general medical/surgical units...
There are wide international differences in 1-year cancer survival. The UK and Denmark perform poorly compared with other high-income countries similar health care systems: Australia, Canada Sweden have good survival rates, Norway intermediate rates. objective of this study was to examine the pattern awareness beliefs across these identify where might contribute
Abstract We present a conceptual framework of one‐to‐one, in‐person communication that occurs between health‐care professional and patient. The is intended as tool for organizing summarizing relevant research but it can also help guide assessing the process development interventions to improve process. includes four key components, with focus on elements be modified. first component interaction: each participant's goals. second consists participants themselves, five attributes determine, in...

Objectives To develop an internationally validated measure of cancer awareness and beliefs; the beliefs about (ABC) measure. Design setting Items modified from existing measures were assessed by a working group in six countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden UK).

Nursing turnover is a major issue for health care managers, notably during the global nursing workforce shortage. Despite often hierarchical structure of data used in studies, few studies have investigated impact work environment on intention to leave using multilevel techniques. Also, differences between intentions current workplace or profession entirely rarely been studied.The aim study was investigate how aspects nurse practice and satisfaction with schedule flexibility measured at...

Purpose To examine symptom prevalence, intensity, and association with distress in patients inoperable lung cancer (LC), using time to death as point of reference. Patients Methods A consecutive sample 400 completed the European Organisation for Research Treatment Cancer Quality Life Questionnaire C30 plus a 13-item LC-specific scale Thurstone Scale Symptom Distress–Lung at six points during first year after diagnosis. were divided into subgroups, data from closest (< 1; 1 2; > 2 3; 3...
The majority of dying patients do not have access to necessary drugs alleviate their most common symptoms, despite evidence drug efficacy. Our aim was explore the degree consensus about appropriate pharmacological treatment for symptoms in last days life with cancer, among physicians working specialist palliative care.Within OPCARE9, a European Union seventh framework project aiming optimize end-of-life cancer care, we conducted Delphi survey 135 care clinicians nine countries. Physicians...
Although registered nurses (RNs) are central in patient care, we have not found prior research that specifically addresses how RNs assess the safety of care at their workplace and factors RNs' work environment related to assessments. This study aims address these issues.9236 working with inpatient 79 acute-care hospitals Sweden completed a national population-based survey, including Practice Environment Scale Nursing Work Index-Revised items from Agency for Healthcare Research Quality's...

Abstract BACKGROUND The patient perspective on distress associated with lung carcinoma is important, yet understudied. Previous research symptom experience generally had not differentiated the dimension intensity/frequency from which symptoms are most distress. objective of current study was to determine whether patterns intensity were similar distress, consistent at different time points, varied by subgroups, and high equivalent METHODS Four hundred adults who newly diagnosed inoperable...
Purpose Standardized questionnaires for patient-reported outcomes are generally composed of specified predetermined items, although other areas may also cause patients distress. We therefore studied reports what was most distressing 343 with inoperable lung cancer (LC) at six time points during the first year postdiagnosis and how these concerns were assessed by three quality-of-life symptom questionnaires. Patients Methods Qualitative analysis patients' responses to question “What do you...
