One of those occasions when by working across disciplines you gain a whole new vocabulary :-); if you want to find out what liminality is all about and how it helps us understand the shock of transitioning from student to practitioner in places like Kenya then take a look.

Exploring Professional Practice Environments and Organisational Context Factors Affecting Nurses’ Adoption of Evidence-Based Practice: A Scoping Review (https://lnkd.in/dvEixshi)

Main takeaways from the PACED International Summer School on palliative care (Armenia, 2024): -           In most of the PACED countries (Caucasus, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Baltic countries) palliative care is yet to be comprehended as a concept. It is driven now by very professional passionaries, but there are still a lot of systemic changes to come.   -           Exchange and offline communication are of critical importance to palliative care specialists. Not just to exchange experience, but also to prevent burnout. -           Development of paediatric palliative care as well as palliative care in residential institutions is a big pain and challenge for everyone.   -           There is a significant demand for training the trainers/teachers in order to disseminate up-to-date knowledge. -           Non-medical staff is not less important than medical staff. Psychologists, social workers, chaplains and other specialists also need to be trained and supported. Thank you to all my dear colleagues (Ira Chernozhukova Ksenia Pominova Kristina Roppelt Anastasia Gulyavina Inna Babina, and others) and to our respected experts (Minna Hökkä, and others) for making this School happen. And of course a huge thank you goes to our 50 doctors and nurses from 6 countries who believed in PACED and came to Armenia to participate in the Summer School! To be continued.

How do you describe your role in the NHS? The term "healthcare scientist" has been in use since around the 1990s as a collective term for our many and varied professions. Some of the challenges with the (admittedly difficult) task of bringing education routes and career paths together have left a range of feelings about the term. And in around 2003, Dr Owen Crawley brought first radiographers and then operating department practitioners under the professional leadership of the Chief Scientific Adviser for Wales too. Skip to 2024 and we have over 7000 healthcare science professionals in NHS Wales including over 70 consultants! But still there are many different views on identity and what we call ourselves. Perhaps it is no wonder that people on the street still talk only of doctors and nurses. We are keen to hear from you... What do you consider your identity to be? Is this different to how your friends and family describe your role? If you are a Welsh speaker, do translations of these terms reflect your identity? Let us know via this survey as the first step towards truely agreeing strong identity language and moving forwards together to promote these incredible professions across NHS Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 https://lnkd.in/ebydQ5MF

Great to see Denver Health's Phil Fung creating pathways for immigrant physicians in Colorado: "But a pool of qualified physicians in our own backyard is available to fill these gaps: graduates of foreign medical schools. These doctors have the skills, experience and talent to provide excellent medical care and are already dedicated members of Colorado communities" Why is it necessary: * 3.4% of resident physicians in Colorado are international medical graduates (IMGs); the national rate is 21%. * 8.5% of Colorado physicians are (IMGs), ranking 47th. * Only 4.3% and 1.6% of practicing Colorado physicians identify, respectively, as Hispanic/Latino and Black.

Are you a Victorian nurse or midwife interested in sharing your insights on drinking cultures within your professional community? Researchers from La Trobe University and Monash University want to hear from you! Researchers are conducting an online survey to explore the unique dynamics of drinking cultures among nurses. Drinking together (e.g. after work or at work events) can be an important part of nurses’ and midwives’ occupational activities, offering opportunities to socialise, relax, debrief or network. Your experiences and perspectives on drinking with colleagues are valuable in understanding the nature, meaning and purposes of drinking alcohol together within your occupation group. Participation in this survey is voluntary and anonymous. You will not be identified. You are eligible if you: ✔️are employed as a nurse or a midwife ✔️live in Victoria ✔️ are 18 years or older. This research is funded by the Australian Research Council and the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) and has received ethics approval [HEC24170]. For more information, or if you have any questions, please contact Dr Nyssa Ferguson n.ferguson@latrobe.edu.au. Find out more and access the survey on your computer here: https://lnkd.in/gcHuBdXg

THERE AND THEN A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how I engage with students while being an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET Programme... https://lnkd.in/gFUjVUMD Coming from a health science background and once a dietitian by profession... engaging with stakeholders in the acute clinical (hospital) and community (health centres) settings require a different approach. About 50% of the time (or more), we see patients only once. This is especially the case in the acute setting, before they get discharged. How do you assess their current and desired level of engagement with you, the dietitian, in that one session? Preparation is key... In acute setting: ☑ After receiving referral from doctors/nurses, check pathology. ☑ Go to the ward, speed read medical notes, talk to nurse/auxiliary staff, family/visitors. ☑ Have some idea of the patient's current situation. ☑ Talk to the patient (with or without family present) to in a way verify info you have, ask further questions so I can mentally determine where they are in the Stages of Change (or transtheoretical model, TTM). ☑ Depending on which stage the patient is in: Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance Our goal is to try and prompt them to move to the next stage of dietary behaviour that's more healthy promoting. Patients are usually given some written information. We may hand over to the community dietitian for follow-up if needed or requested by the patient. How do you approach stakeholder engagement? Any tips on how best to determine current and desired level of engagement? Hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday!

This week, I was honored to participate in the first annual National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Summer Research Institute! Nursing’s role in addressing the #SDOH is informed and guided by strong partnerships with the individuals, families, and communities we serve. There are ample opportunities to advance nursing science and education in SDOH, including: ·      Developing neighborhood-level measures ·      Using quasi-experimental research designs for causal inference ·      Designing and implementing natural experiments in community-engaged research ·      Designing structural interventions for health and racial equity ·      Linking social and biological pathways to health and well-being ·      Requiring undergraduate and graduate SDOH courses ·      Offering community-engaged public health clinicals ·      …and so much more! TL;DR: We must build upon our discipline's unique and fundamental strengths to promote the conditions that nourish health where people live, learn, work, and play! #publichealth #publichealthnursing #planetaryhealth

Learn more about the positive findings from the recent external evaluation of the Remote Vocational Training Scheme – RVTS investigating the value of program outcomes and the effectiveness of its remote supervision and support model. The culmination of six months of detailed work by the evaluation team led by Belinda O’Sullivan and A/Prof Matthew McGrail (The University of Queensland), provides a strong evidence base on which to build a continuing and expanded role for the organisation beyond 2025. The wealth of qualitative and quantitative data has informed five articles shared in https://lnkd.in/gjvxAZ_u Having delivered GP training to more than 500 doctors in over 350 communities, with over 300 program completions to date, the RVTS has over the past 25 years, continuously provided medical workforce solution for Australia’s rural, remote, and First Nations communities. The evaluation has provided many insights into RVTS’ performance against its objectives and revealed many exceptional aspects of the program that are unique in the environment in which RVTS operates. Key findings include: high levels of participant satisfaction; high levels of fellowship attainment; impressive workforce retention; and comparative cost-effectiveness.  Additionally, the RVTS provides a template for best practice in the support of overseas trained doctors and showcasing place-based, retention-focused workforce strategies. The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC), funded and supported the evaluation, in the spirit of disseminating outcomes and informing ongoing quality improvement in support of services for remote and First Nations communities. We thank the Project Reference Group and the evaluation participants, including the Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) staff, supervisors, training coordinators, medical educators, registrars, board, employers, and stakeholders who gave up their valuable time contributing insights. This evaluation would not have been possible without their contribution. The Stakeholder Advisory Group of Jenny May , Susan Wearne, Murray Newman, Carla Taylor, Jo-anne Chapman, Marita Cowie AM, David Glasson, James B., Dr Yann Guisard, Simone Raye and Peta Rutherford contributed policy and program insights which informed further analysis and implications. Additional experts and researchers who contributed to theory development included Greg Gladman, Karin Jodlowski-Tan, Taras Mikulin, Murray Towne, Tiana Gurney and Ronda Gurney.

☑️ *READ ABSTRACT BELOW:* Part 1: Aim: To examine and summarize the reported association of nurse managers' transformational leadership and quality of patient care based on the perceptions of registered nurses. Background: Transformational leadership behaviors of nurse managers result in staff nurses' satisfaction and retention and patient satisfaction. Patient safety and quality of care are vital to high-performing healthcare organizations. Perceptions of registered nurses are important because nurses are frontline healthcare providers fundamental to patient safety and quality of care and are considered the final line of defense in preventing adverse events and errors and improving the safety of patients. Materials and methods: We searched the CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science databases for evidence published between 2018 and 2022 in the English language. We adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines in carrying out this meta-analysis.(...)
