Cochrane Collaboration

On average the 19 studies had a PEDro score of 6.78/10, which was considered high quality. Risk of bias was also assessed using the Cochrane collaboration tool. This assessment indicated that 6 studies had a low risk of bias, 10 studies had a high risk and 3 studies had an unclear risk. The results of scientific quality were taken into consideration in the conclusion of the study. The conclusion…

shift report can increase both patient and family satisfaction rates during hospitalization. The study was done and funded by Cincinnati Children 's Hospital Medical Center. The method used was a search of electronic databases ranging from PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and OVID MEDLINE.

After deciphering all of the evidence it is recommended that nurses perform bedside shift to shift report, to increase…

treatment goals is facilitated through weekly formal meetings between the MDT, the patient and their family. Logic suggests that this comprehensive team approach provides the highest level of patient care, however, the evidence still remains ambiguous. A Cochrane review by Handoll et al. (2009) examined the effects of multidisciplinary rehabilitation (MDR), in either inpatient or ambulatory care settings, for older patients with hip fracture. 13 trials were included which compared 2498 older,…

The risk of development of anesthesia related complications in the CRNA only delivery model remained as low as the anesthesiologist only model. Anesthesia delivery in “no supervision” scope of practice appeared to be similar to the “direction/collaboration” and “supervision” scope of practice. The evidence supports CRNA only provided anesthesia is as safe as other models of anesthesia delivery, including anesthesiologist supervised model (Negrusa et al.,…

Holistic Healthcare-How Should Nursing Support Patients ' Rights?

has further enhanced the way education and learning is done at various tertiary institutions. Through ICT, there is immediate access to information required for learning and teaching.

Non-suicidal Self-injury is defined as an act of destruction to one’s body (such as: cutting, scratching, burning or hair pulling) but without suicidal intentions (Jacobson & Gould, 2007). NSSI differs to suicidal self-injury because it does not involve any suicidal attempts or suicide ideation, suicidal behaviour is associated with a self-inflicted act with evidence of suicidal attempt (Labelle, Pouilot & Janelle, 2015). NSSI has been extensively researched and associated with many different…

of high-quality scientific research results. OA is invaluable in that it can add value to the economy, to research and to society. Open Access has both value and a positive impact on patient care. Initiatives include, for example, the Cochrane Library Collaboration, a gold standard in systematic reviews which is made openly accessible in developing countries, and Access to Research in Health program (Murray and Tantau 1999). In this case, under open access, advanced access scheduling on the…
