‘It felt like there was always someone there for us’: Supporting children affected by domestic violence and abuse who are identified by general practice

One in five children in the UK are affected by domestic violence and abuse. However, primary care clinicians (GPs and nurses) struggle to effectively identify and support children and young people living in homes where it is present. The IRIS+ (Enhanced Identification and Referral to Improve Safety) training and advocacy support intervention aimed to improve how clinicians respond to children and young people affected by domestic violence and abuse. IRIS+ training was delivered as part of a feasibility study to four general practices in an urban area in England (UK). Our mixed method design included interviews and questionnaires about the IRIS+ intervention with general practice patients, including children and young people as well as with clinicians and advocacy service providers. We collected the number of identifications and referrals by clinicians of children experiencing domestic violence and abuse through a retrospective search of medical and agency records 10 months after the intervention. Forty-nine children exposed to domestic violence and abuse were recorded in medical records. Thirty-five children were referred to a specialist domestic violence and abuse support service over a period of 10 months. Of these, 22 received direct or indirect support. The qualitative findings indicated that children benefitted from being referred by clinicians to the service. However, several barriers at the patient and professional level prevented children and young people from being identified and supported. Some of these barriers can be addressed through modifications to professional training and guidance, but others require systematic and structural changes to the way health and social care services work with children affected by domestic violence and abuse.     

胰腺切除患者围术期血糖管理的最佳证据总结

背景血糖紊乱是胰腺切除患者围术期常见问题。然而，目前国内开展的胰腺切除患者围术期血糖管理实践多以经验为指导，缺乏循证依据。目的总结胰腺切除患者围术期血糖管理的最佳证据。方法系统检索BMJ最佳临床实践、Up to Date、国际指南协作组、国际糖尿病联盟（IDF）、世界卫生组织（WHO）、美国国立指南数据库（NGC）、美国糖尿病协会、英国国家临床优化研究所（NICE）、新西兰指南研究组、加拿大糖尿病协会、澳大利亚糖尿病协会、苏格兰校际指南网络（SIGN）、PubMed、Web of Science、EMBase、CINHAL数据库、Cochrane图书馆、乔安娜布里格斯研究所（JBI）循证卫生保健中心、医脉通、万方数据知识服务平台、中国知网（CNKI）、生物医学数据库（CBM），筛选关于胰腺切除患者围术期血糖管理的文献。检索时间为建库至2020年12月。指南的质量评价采用国际AGREE协作组织2009年更新的AGREE Ⅱ量表。专家共识的质量评价采用澳大利亚JBI循证卫生保健中心专家共识评价标准2017版。随机对照试验的评价采用Jadad评分量表。结果通过初步检索筛选出文献6 637篇，最终纳入文献13篇，其中7篇为临床实践指南，4篇为专家共识，2篇为随机对照试验。评价结果显示，7篇临床实践指南中3篇总体质量评价为A级，剩下4篇为B级；4篇专家共识的质量评价在"观点与其他文献不一致的地方是否有合理解释？"条目的评价结果为"不清楚"，其余条目的评价结果均为"是"。2篇随机对照试验均为高质量文献。共汇总了62条最佳证据，主要涉及围术期组织管理、入院评估及处理、血糖控制目标、血糖监测、术前血糖管理策略、术中血糖管理策略、术后血糖管理策略、危急状况处理以及出院指导9个方面。结论临床医务人员应根据总结的9个方面最佳证据（包括围术期组织管理、入院评估及处理、血糖控制目标、血糖监测、术前血糖管理策略、术中血糖管理策略、术后血糖管理策略、危急状况处理以及出院指导）为胰腺切除患者制定个体化、全程化的围术期血糖管理方案。     

Climate Change: Effects on the Older Adult

The effects of climate change include floods, hurricanes, heat waves, and fires; these natural disasters can result in respiratory, cardiovascular, and psychological harm in older adults, who experience the highest morbidity and mortality during heat waves. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) need education on preparing, assessing, and treating older adults for climate-change disasters, especially heat waves. This article will help APRNs understand the effects of climate-change events on the vulnerable older adults and advocates for the need to integrate health effects of climate change into curricula, practicums, policy, and research agendas.     

基于正交试验的肾造瘘管固定方案研究

目的 探讨基于正交试验的肾造瘘管不同固定方案的比较效果。方法 将14Fr硅胶肾造瘘管固定在聚乙烯展板和拉力显示器上，以固定材料、固定方法、面积为3个影响因素，每个因素3个水平，每组进行3次试验再求平均值作为最后拉力值F，共进行9个固定方案共27次试验。利用L9（33）正交试验矩阵研究不同材料（医用橡皮膏、医用透气胶带、医用无纺布胶带）、固定方法（交叉固定法、“工”字固定法和改良“工”字固定法）及面积(16 cm2、24 cm2、32 cm2）对肾造瘘管固定强度的影响。结果 正交试验所选的3种影响因素中，对拉力值影响显著性排序为：材料＞方法＞面积；3种固定材料中，医用橡皮膏固定强度最大。结论 肾造瘘管固定方案中，最佳固定组合为以医用橡皮膏结合改良“工”字法固定，可为临床管道固定方案的选择提供参考。     

The Bachelor’s thesis in nursing: Characteristics and students’ approach and satisfaction

AimThe aim of the study was to describe the characteristics of the Bachelor’s thesis of fourth-year nursing students at a Spanish public university, the criteria that students used to choose a topic and students’ degree of satisfaction after completing the Bachelor’s thesis.DesignQuantitative study.MethodsWe examined 420 Bachelor’s theses carried out from 2013 to 2018 and conducted an online survey among fourth-year students in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 academic years (81 completed questionnaires).ResultsThe Bachelor’s thesis took the form of a research proposal. The most frequent proposal type was a qualitative hospital-based study whose objective was to understand the experiences of adult or adolescent patients, close family members, or nurses. Students chose topics for personal reasons. Most participants reported feeling satisfied with the knowledge and skills acquired.ConclusionsStudents completing a Bachelor’s thesis in the form of a research proposal have the potential to transfer their research skills to their nursing practice.
