Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and needs of families during the admission of a child to a paediatric ward in an acute care hospital. Qualitative research methods were used to access the caregivers' and professionals' perceptions of the culture that families experience in a paediatric in-patient setting. For this project, data collection methods included a review of the literature in the area, individual interviews with caregivers, and focus groups with paediatric health care professionals.<br>In the study, both parents and paediatric professionals described a m

Abstract:

Each year, hospitalizations from long-term care (LTC) settings occur, in part, due to underdeveloped nursing assessment skills, ineffective communication with primary care providers (PCPs), and delayed intervention. Through staff development nursing education, the quality and timeliness of care can be improved. The practice question that guided this doctoral project focused on whether evidence-based research information would assist in decreasing LTC-to-hospital admission rates through improved nursing assessment skills and better communication with PCPs. Using the logic model, the effectivene

Abstract:

This study describes self management behaviour and attitudes among asthmatics, in usual self care, in acute episodes and in behaviour in the month before admission. It relates these behaviours to morbidity, admission history (single admittees versus multiple admittees) and outpatient status (current, discharged or never outpatient). Two hundred and thirty four patients between 16 and 65 years old were interviewed for the study. One hundred and thirty were in hospital at interview, the remainder were not in hospital but had all had a hospital admission between January and December 1987. Details

The rising cost of unplanned hospital readmissions has sparked calls for identifying medical system failures, best practices, and interventions in order to reduce the incidence of avoidable readmission. Readmissions currently account for 18% of total hospital admissions among Medicare patients in the United States. Distinguishing avoidable from unavoidable readmissions is a complex problem, but tackling it can shed light on readmission determinants and contributing factors.

While governments issue directives with particular goals in mind these goals are not always met, because of the modifications, interpretations or lack of uptake by targeted populations. However it is not clear the extent to which these difficulties occur in the public hospital sector, and we lack clear empirical data on this phenomenon. This thesis investigates the effect

Approximately 11% of patients diagnosed with a stroke or a transient ischemic attack are readmitted to the hospital, creating a cost burden of nearly $2 billion per year for Medicare beneficiaries. Because researchers and policy makers consider hospital readmission for patients with strokes or transient ischemic attack to be an indicator for the delivery of quality care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has imposed financial penalties of up to 3% of a hospital's Medicare reimbursement in 1 year for excessive readmissions, potentially impacting the financial sustainability of vari

Abstract:

The deleterious consequences of hypothermia are well documented. Most surgical patients suffer from at least mild hypothermia as a result of their pathophysiological and environmental factors. Over the past few decades research in to perioperative temperature homeostasis has unravelled a wide range of physiological adverse effects that hypothermia could have on surgical patients. Active warming has been shown to be effective in maintaining normothermi a and improving clinical outcomes such a mortality and morbidity, particularly infectious outcomes. In addition, studies have shown that warming

Abstract:

Introduction: It has been consistently found that Black-Caribbean patients experience disproportionate rates of compulsory hospital admission during First Episode Psychosis (FEP). Existing research can only partially explain this phenomenon, which suggests that other more comprehensive explanations must exist. This thesis aims to address this limitation and develop both an empirical and theoretical understanding that explains ethnic variation in detention rates specific to FEP. Thesis Aim: To identify new variables that account for excessive rates of detention amongst Black-Caribbean patients

Abstract:

Thesis (M. Cur.) --University of Limpopo, 2015<br>Background: Re-admission is a common problem encountered in psychiatric care. Re-admissions are often, but not always, related to a problem inadequately resolved in the prior hospitalization. A better understanding of factors leading multiple psychiatric admissions is needed. Such knowledge can help planners to set priorities and to make appropriate services and resources available to mental health care users and their families after hospital discharge. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the factors leading to re-admission

Abstract:

Magister Curationis - MCur<br>The provision of mental health care, treatment and rehabilitation of the acutely ill mental health care users (MHCUS) poses a major challenge to the nurses working in acute units. Nurses spend long hours ensuring that acutely ill psychiatric patients receive quality patient care in acute admission units in different psychiatric hospitals in South Africa. With few studies showing a rise in the prevalence of mental disorders in the South Africa and the Western Cape Province, acute psychiatric inpatient units across the province have experienced intense pressure and

Abstract:

Certain regions adopt an aggressive approach (routine cardiac catheterization and frequent invasive revascularization) to care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), while other regions adopt a conservative approach (selective use of invasive procedures). Administrative data provide a means to estimate the effects of these variations on patient outcomes, but they are limited by their potential for confounding bias due to unobserved case-mix variation as treatment assignment is not random. This study applied instrumental variables, a methodology that can account for this bias, to estimate the e

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a public smoking ban on the hospital admissions due to acute myocardial infarction in Delaware County, Indiana. The study population consists of all the patients admitted to Ball Memorial Hospital during three 22-month periods with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis code of acute myocardial infarction (ICD-9-CM) immediately prior to the implementation of the ordinance. Chi-square was conducted for the three 22-month periods of hospital admissions. A significant drop occurred in the number of admissions among nonsmoking patients i

Abstract:

The overall aim of the present thesis was to study factors related to transfers of older people between nursing homes, emergency department and hospital care. The thesis was based on four studies and used three methods: focus group discussions, structured review of electronic healthcare records, semi-structured interviews with registered nurses and general practitioners. Study I: nursing home nurses found it difficult to decide whether older residents should be referred to hospital from the nursing home. Hospital registered nurses reported often trying to stop premature discharges or having to
