Presenteeism can have negative impacts on employees' health and organizational productivity. It occurs more often among occupations with high attendance demands, such as healthcare professionals. Information is lacking regarding the extent to which presenteeism differs between disciplines settings in sector what reasons are for well influencing factors. This study used cross-sectional data 15,185 professionals (nursing staff, midwives, physicians, medical-technical medical-therapeutic...
Assessing pain in neonates is challenging because full-term and preterm of different gestational ages (GAs) have widely varied reactions to pain. We validated the Bernese Pain Scale for Neonates (BPSN) by testing its use among a large sample that represented all GAs. In this prospective multisite validation study, we assessed 154 between 24 2/7 41 4/7 weeks GA, based on results 1–5 capillary heel sticks their first 14 days life. From each stick, produced three video sequences: baseline;...
AbstractThis article proposes a decorated parallel coordinate plot for longitudinal categorical data, featuring jitter mechanism revealing the diversity of observed patterns and allowing tracking each individual pattern, variable point line widths reflecting weighted pattern frequencies, rendering simultaneous events, different filter options highlighting typical patterns. The proposed visual display has been developed describing exploring order event occurrences, but it can be equally...
Purpose Declining soil fertility is worrying in sub-Saharan Africa. Various technologies serve to mitigate or rebuild fertility, but uptake by farmers, especially smallholders, low. The study addresses this adoption problem a novel way, assessing empirically many factors from various domains (economic, socio-demographic, individual, institutional, networks and information sources) identify what drives adoption.
Abstract Background Measuring work-related stress in a reliable way is important the development of appropriate prevention and intervention strategies. Especially multilingual studies use comparable instruments crucial. Therefore, aim this study was to translate selected scales single items from German version Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) into French Italian psychometrically test them sample health professionals. Methods This used cross-sectional data professionals at 163...
The tree-based TVCM algorithm and its implementation in the R package vcrpart are introduced for generalized linear models. purpose of is to learn whether how coefficients a regression model vary by moderating variables. A separate partition built each potentially varying coefficient, allowing user specify coefficient-specific sets potential moderators, select moderators individually coefficient. In addition describing algorithm, evaluated using benchmark comparison simulation study commands...
Aims and objectives This study investigated whether an intensive care unit ( ICU ) stay is associated with persistent pain, anxiety agitation in critically ill older patients. Background Patients hospitalised the are at risk for experiencing agitation, but long‐term consequences patients have rarely been investigated. Design Prospective nonrandomised longitudinal study. Methods Pain, measured a numeric rating scale (0–10), were assessed (≥65 years) medical‐surgical of university hospital....
This study investigates health-related quality of life in older patients, over one year following an intensive care unit stay.Health-related is important outcome when assessing long-term effectiveness treatment, and to assist their relatives healthcare professionals making treatment decisions.Prospective non-randomised longitudinal study.The Short Form Health Survey 36 was administered 1 week after stay (retrospective baseline), six months 12 the population age-matched comparison group at...
Nursing care inputs represent one of the major cost components in Swiss Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) structure. High and low nursing workloads individual cases are supposed to balance out via DRG group. Research results indicating possible problems this area cannot be reliably extrapolated SwissDRG. An analysis workload figures with indicators was carried order decide whether there is a need develop SwissDRG classification criteria that specific care. The case groups were determined 0.1,...
Individual contextual factors like gestational age (GA) or previous painful experiences have an influence on neonates' pain responses and may lead to inaccurate assessment when not appropriately considered.We set out determine the of individual variability in response neonates, measured with modified Bernese Pain Scale for Neonates (BPSN), and, if necessary, incorporate relevant into a revised version BPSN.We videotaped 154 full-term preterm neonates different GAs during 1-5 capillary heel...
Nursing Minimum Data Sets (NMDS) intend to systematically describe nursing care. Until now NMDS have been populated with data by manual ascertainment which is inefficient. The objective of this work was evaluate an automated mapping pipeline for transforming into NMDS. We used LEP 3 as source and the Austrian German target formats. Based on a human expert between NMDS, algorithm developed implemented in automatic pipeline. results show that most interventions can be matched NMDS-AT G-NMDS...
In healthcare there is a call to provide cost-efficient and safe care. This can be achieved through evidence-based practice (EBP), defined as the use of evidence from research, context, patient preferences, clinical expertise. However, contemporary process-integrated supply knowledge at point care major challenge. An integrative management system supporting practicing nurses in their daily work providing required. The aim this study was (1) map standardized structured nursing interventions...
A novel model approach is proposed to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of demand for free-floating carsharing. The based on a Poisson regression right-censored data and estimates possibly time-varying rates small subareas service region booking with information pickups dropoffs cars. allows operators gain insights into their loss due unavailability Moreover, it can also be used as an input improve design service, through relocation techniques or analyze macrosimulation models.
