Patient exit interviews for assessing fidelity to the VA VISN 2 Integrated Primary Care Model: Results from a pilot feasibility study

This paper explores conceptual and pragmatic aspects of interprofessional education, with the aim of adding to its epistemology. It includes an examination of the issues involved in the translation of interprofessional educational theory into practice. The work for the paper was aimed at creating a framework for interprofessional education that could inform practice in relation to a cancer care course. It draws upon Bernstein's contribution to the sociology of education, in particular his concepts of classification and framing as theoretical tools, to understand knowledge production and reproduction. The concept of terrains of knowledge created by interprofessional education is suggested and the issues associated with these new ways of knowing are elaborated. Differences for pre-and post-registration students are identified and utilised to highlight issues associated with creating effective interprofessional learning environments. Finally, personal and generic applications of the theory are discussed.     

某院47名护士长高危药物外渗相关态度技能认知调查分析

目的了解护士长对高危药物外渗态度技能知识掌握情况,为加强高危药物的风险管理提供依据,促进护理持续质量改进.方法采用自制高危药物外渗相关态度技能知识调查问卷对暨南大学附属第一医院47名护士长进行调查评定,调查内容包括高危药物外渗相关态度、技能和知识3个维度,采用SPSS 16.0统计软件进行系统描述分析.结果关于高危药物外渗态度、技能、知识的平均正确率分别为99%、75%、23%;加权后总体平均正确率为70%.不同年龄、学历、职称、工作年限的护士长问卷总体平均正确率差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05).结论护士长在高危药物外渗态度方面掌握较好,在技能和知识方面存在欠缺.作为风险管理者和质量控制者,护士长应同时重视处理高危药物外渗技能和知识方面的提高.     

新护士带教方法的再探讨

目的探讨一种在新护士带教中既节省时间又全面系统的带教方法。方法便利抽样法选择2008年5月至2011年lO月在保定市第二中心医院妇产科轮转的新护士60名为研究对象。按随机数字表法将其分为观察组和对照组,每组30名。观察组新护士接受多个老师的带教,对照组新护士按一对一带教。带教3个月后,两组新护士进行综合考评并比较带教效果。结果观察组新护士在操作技术、疾病宣教、护理查房、表格书写、口头提问等方面均优于对照组,差异均有统计学意义（均P〈O．05）。结论多个老师的带教较一对一带教能使新护士在更短时间内全面、系统地掌握护理知识及治疗方法。     

Expert Knowledge in Palliative Care on the World Wide Web: Palliativedrugs.Org

ABSTRACT.?

In my last Internet-related article, I speculated that social networking would be the coming wave in the effort to share knowledge among experts in various disciplines. At the time I did not know that a palliative care site on the World Wide Web (WWW), palliativedrugs.com, already provided the infrastructure for sharing expert knowledge in the field. The Web site is an excellent traditional formulary but it is primarily devoted to “unlicensed” (“off-label”) use of medications in palliative care, something we in the specialty often do with little to support our interventions except shared knowledge and experience. There is nothing fancy about this Web site. In a good way, its format is a throwback to Web sites of the 1990s. In only the loosest sense can one describe it as “multimedia.” Yet, it provides the perfect forum for expert knowledge and is a “must see” resource. Its existing content is voluminous and reliable, filtered and reviewed by renowned clinicians and educators in the field. Although its origin and structure were not specifically designed for social or professional networking, the Web site's format makes it a natural way for practitioners around the world to contribute to an ever-growing body of expertise in palliative care.     

精准医疗时代肝细胞肝癌诊疗策略

组学和临床数据的更新及检测技术的进步为精准医疗的实施提供了信息和技术支持。在这种理念下,通过对异质性疾病进行精细的亚组分类,可实现诊疗策略的精准应用,提高治疗效果,减少不必要的副作用。精准医疗理念在肿瘤领域发展较快,并对高度异质的肝细胞肝癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)的诊疗策略产生一定影响。本文针对精准医疗理念下HCC诊疗策略的更新及存在的问题进行概述,包括HCC的人群预防、高危人群筛查、早期诊断、分期、治疗方案的选择、疗效及预后评估等,为HCC的精准医疗提供新的思路。     

Bronchoscopic palliation of primary lung cancer: Single or multimodality therapy?

Background An obstructing primary lung cancer is a challenging disease frequently requiring endobronchial interventional therapy. A variety of interventional modalities, including Nd:YAG laser, stenting, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and endoluminal brachytherapy, are utilized to relieve airway obstruction and bleeding. The aim of this study is to compare the effect on patient survival of bronchoscopic palliation for lung cancer utilizing one interventional modality compared to the use of combination of modalities to relieve the airway problem.Methods We reviewed our longitudinal experience with interventional bronchoscopy in 75 patients who underwent 176 procedures for the management of endobronchial lung cancer between 1994 and 2002. Indication for intervention was hemoptysis in 24 patients (32%) and airway obstruction in the remaining. Six patients died within 30 days from the first intervention and were excluded. Forty of the surviving 69 patients (58%) were treated with a single interventional modality (group A). In 29 patients (42%) a multimodality endoscopic treatment was utilized (group B). Single-modality treatment in group A included Nd-YAG laser in 60%, stent in 17%, brachytherapy in 20%, and PDT in 3%. A variety of combinations of the aforementioned modalities were used in group B to enhance airway patency. Patient data were compared with the Students t-test and chi-square test. Survival analysis and the log rank test were used to compare difference in survival between the two groups. A p-value of 0.05 was considered significant.Results There were 46 males and 23 females, with a mean age of 67 years. The tumor was located in the trachea 9%, in the carina in 7%, and primary bronchial in 84%. Two patients had complications due to stent malposition. There was no significant difference between the two groups in relation to age, gender, tumor location, histology, and type of previous cancer therapy. There was a significant improvement in survival for the multimodality group (p = 0.04). The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rate for groups A and B was 51.3% versus 50% and 2.3% versus 22%, respectively.Conclusions Improvement in survival can be seen with diligent airway surveillance after interventional bronchoscopy and liberal use of a variety of endobronchial treatment modalities for airway obstruction or bleeding. Physicians involved in the management of this difficult problem should be versed in the use of all available treatment modalities to enhance therapeutic outcome.
