Ethical global health in nursing education: An integrative review

AimThe purpose of this integrative review is to provide a comprehensive review of ethical considerations for host communities and nursing programs in planning, implementing and evaluating global health experiences for nursing students.BackgroundGlobal health experiences for nursing students are proliferating rapidly across university settings while at the same time decreasing the average time spent in the host country engaged with local communities. Global health experiences are an area where students can experience ethics as it is applied across varied contexts including resource limited international settings. As nursing education expands its global programming, exploring the ethical implications of designing, implementing and evaluating GHEs becomes pivotal to build respectful, sustainable relationships with global partners and best prepare nursing students for ethical professional practice in an interconnected world.DesignWe conducted an integrative review to examine ethical considerations in development of ethical global health experiences that benefit, rather than harm, host communities and participating nursing student guests.MethodsThe search included articles published in English language, peer-reviewed journals between 1998 and 2021 that discussed ethics in the context of nursing students traveling internationally for global health experiences. Eighteen articles met criteria for review.ResultsOverall, findings demonstrate relatively little research specific to ethical engagement in global health experiences. The articles in this integrative review discussed a range of ethical attributes including reciprocity or collaboration, respect, sustainability or commitment, justice and openness. Recommendations based on research and non-research articles are provided.ConclusionsEthical comportment in global health experiences requires careful planning, implementation and evaluation to assure an equitable and sustainable partnership between host community, faculty and nursing student guests.

A commitment to marginalized children in the European Union: The hope and challenges of the EU Child Guarantee

While children in general are usually seen as a societal priority, many children are disadvantaged by marginalization, with adverse effects on health and development. Following feasibility studies, the European Commission has now adopted a formal Child Guarantee of service access. This paper links the Feasibility Studies to other reports on the need to address marginalized and institutionalized children. The problems in identifying and quantifying such children are outlined, as are the challenges of planning for these groups of children and the difficulty of finding universal definitions and data. This European Union initiative is timely, given that around a quarter of European children are marginalized, while the effects of Covid-19 will add to this marginalization.     

Barriers to vaccination service delivery within general practice: opportunity to make a sustainable difference in Aboriginal child health?

Objective: To identify behavioural barriers of service provision within general practice that may be impacting the vaccination coverage rates of Aboriginal children in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Methods: A purposive developed survey was distributed to 316 general practices across Perth and three key informant interviews were conducted using a mixed‐methods approach. Results: Of the surveyed participants (n=101), 67.4% were unaware of the low vaccination coverage in Aboriginal children; 64.8% had not received cultural sensitivity training in their workplace and 46.8% reported having inadequate time to follow up overdue child vaccinations. Opportunistic vaccination was not routinely performed by 30.8% of participants. Key themes identified in the interviews were awareness, inclusion and cultural safety. Conclusion: Inadequate awareness of the current rates, in association with a lack of cultural safety training, follow‐up and opportunistic practice, may be preventing greater vaccination uptake in Aboriginal children in Perth. Cultural safety is a critical component of the acceptability and accessibility of services; lack of awareness may restrict the development of strategies designed to equitably address low coverage. Implications: The findings of this study provide an opportunity to raise awareness among clinicians in general practice and inform future strategies to equitably deliver targeted vaccination services to Aboriginal children.     

我国城镇脑卒中患者住院卫生服务利用情况及住院费用的影响因素研究

背景　作为全球第二大常见致死病因，脑卒中给患者带来了极大的经济负担和家庭负担。患者的卫生服务利用状况会影响其医疗费用的支出，但目前关于我国城镇脑卒中患者住院卫生服务利用情况的研究较少。目的　了解我国城镇脑卒中患者的住院服务利用情况，并探讨住院费用的影响因素，为降低患者疾病经济负担、加强患者经济保护、控制医疗费用过快增长提供理论支持和现实依据。方法　数据来源于“全国基本医疗保险卫生服务利用调查数据库”（2010-2015年），于2018年10月采用机械抽样法在数据库中抽取城镇缺血性脑卒中患者56 485例，收集其基本情况和住院服务利用情况（住院次数、住院天数、住院费用）。采用单因素分析比较不同基本情况脑卒中患者的住院服务利用差异，采用多元线性回归分析脑卒中患者住院费用的影响因素。结果　我国城镇脑卒中患者的年均住院次数为1（0）次，次均住院天数为11.0（6.0）d，次均住院费用为6 070.06（8 289.87）元。不同性别、年龄、险种类型、卒中类型、医院级别、地区、城市类别的患者，年均住院次数、次均住院天数、次均住院费用比较，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。多元线性回归分析结果显示：性别、年龄、险种类型、卒中类型、医院级别、地区、城市类别、次均住院天数是患者住院费用的影响因素，其中男性患者住院费用较女性高1.8%，年龄每增长1岁患者住院费用上升0.07%，职工医疗保险患者住院费用较居民医疗保险患者高20.1%，卒中类型为入脑前动脉未特指的闭塞或狭窄引起的脑梗死（I63.2）、大脑动脉血栓形成引起的脑梗死（I63.3）患者住院费用分别较脑梗死（I63）患者高40.8%、38.8%，二级、三级医院就诊患者住院费用分别较基层医院就诊患者高72.1%、121.1%，东部地区患者住院费用分别较中部、西部地区高23.5%、34.0%（P<0.05）；住院次数也是患者住院费用的影响因素，住院次数每增加1次患者住院费用上升57.7%（P<0.05）。结论　不同特征脑卒中患者的住院卫生服务利用状况存在差异，住院费用与多种因素有关；应通过提高医院诊疗技术、缩短住院天数、加强对患者的健康教育等方式来实现费用控制，降低患者负担。

Nationwide Trends in Catheter-Directed Therapy Utilization for the Treatment of Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis in Medicare Beneficiaries

PurposeTo determine overall and provider specialty trends in the use of catheter-directed therapy for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) treatment in the Medicare population.Materials and MethodsUsing data obtained from 2007–2017 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 5% research identifiable files, all claims associated with acute and chronic lower extremity DVT were identified. The annual volume of 2 services—venous percutaneous transluminal thrombectomy (current procedural terminology [CPT] code 37187) and venous infusion for thrombolysis (CPT code 37201 from 2007 to 2012 and CPT code 37212 from 2013 to 2017)—was examined for trends in DVT intervention. Utilization rates based on region and the place of service were calculated. The results were further categorized based on primary operator type (radiology, cardiology, surgery, and other).ResultsThe total number of DVT interventions increased over time, with 4.27 service counts per 100,000 beneficiaries in 2007 increasing to 13.4 by 2017, a growth rate of 12.09%. Radiologists performed the majority of interventions each year, except in 2013, in which they performed 46.6% of interventions, whereas surgeons and cardiologists combined performed the other 53.4%. In 2017, radiologists performed 7.56 services per 100,000 beneficiaries, which was 56.8% of the total count, more than those performed by surgeons, cardiologists, and unspecified providers combined.ConclusionsCatheter-directed therapy is increasingly being used for the treatment of DVT, with its use undergoing a nearly 12-fold increase from 2007 to 2017 in the Medicare population. Radiologists remained the dominant provider of these services throughout the majority of study period, with a relative reduction in market share from 72% in 2007 to 57% in 2017.
