Abstract:

The research is situated in a busy intensive care unit in a tertiary referral centre university hospital in Scotland. To date no research appears to have been done with a focus on handover in intensive care, across the professions involved, examining how handover is enacted. This study makes an original contribution to the practical and pedagogical aspects of handover in intensive care both in terms of the methodology used and also in terms of its findings. In order to study handover a mixed methods approach has been adopted and fieldwork has been done in the ethnographic mode. Data has been a

Abstract:

This thesis traces the developments of imaging technologies used for medical diagnosis. Giddens' sociological theory of modernity serves as a basis for the consideration of the bureaucratisation of medicine and the use of the patient file as source of information about health. The importance of 'inscriptions', in relation to scientific knowledge and power, is analysed through Bruno Latour's theory. Donna Haraway's call to rethink objectivity, not as a quality of universal knowledge, but as a given point of view, also influence the approach of this discussion of diagnostic practices.<br>The aut

This study explores the use of early warning scores (EWS) in deteriorating patients. These are widely used tools to measure vital signs and highlight abnormal physiology in acutely unwell patients. Measurements of the process in the management of the deteriorating patient includes time to first assessment of such patients. The level of clinician involved in the subsequent management is also investigated to determine whether escalation of care was appropriate.

Abstract:

Changes in reimbursement make it imperative for nurse managers to develop tools and methods to assist them to stay within budget. Disparity between planned staffing and required staffing often requires supplemental staffing and overtime. In addition, many states are now mandating staffing committees to demonstrate effective staff planning. This retrospective quantitative study developed an empirical method for building nursing unit staffing plans through the incorporation of patient acuity and patient turnover as adjustments towards planning nursing workload.

Abstract:

<p> Women face great risks in pregnancy and childbirth, especially in developing countries where there are very few skilled birth attendants and negligible government investments in maternal health programs. As a result, obstetric fistula (OF), a potentially fatal but preventable and treatable condition, affects some 3 million women and girls globally. In Sierra Leone, the prevalence of OF is extremely high, but the absence of quality data to inform decision-making, both on prevalence and risk factors, is a barrier to creating an environment for OF prevention and care.

Abstract:

My thesis develops an understanding of patient role and identity performances in psychiatric consultations. Recent increased attention to shared-decision making and patient-centred care in psychiatry is in large part influenced by changing ideas about the doctor-patient relationship, challenging power discrepancies and reconsidering notions of ‘expert' and ‘lay' contributions. Previous work surrounding this field has mostly focused on psychiatrists' talk, asking ‘how can psychiatrists improve shared-decision making skills?' While important, I argue that this focus is at odds with the principle
