Systematic review of isolation policies in the hospital management of methicillin-esistant Staphylococcus aureus: A review of the literature with epidemiological and economic modelling
The rise of MSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) continues to be a problem in hospitals throughout the world. In the article entitled "Systematic review of isolation policies in the hospital management of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus" Cooper (et al. 2003) conducted a literature review of various containment efforts in the UK. Isolation wards proved to be the most common method of containment but studies were conflicting as to their efficacy. The use of a common isolation ward at one hospital "reduced infection, one did not and one resulted in control for many years until a change in strain and/or an increase in the number of patients colonised on admission [and] overwhelmed the institution" (Cooper et al. 2003: 5). There was limited evidence that more proactive efforts at containment such as….

With the rapid increase in the research conducted on health sciences, there is difficulty for researchers and clinicians to be up-to-date with the studies. Therefore, reviews that give a summary of the impact of different intervention experiments are a greatly efficient way to come up with a conclusion of what is effective and what isn't. Systematic reviews are different from the traditional kind in many ways. According to Petticrew and Roberts (2006), the systematic type of reviews normally involve a comprehensive and in depth plan along with search approach that is presumptive, with the aim of reducing partiality by finding, assessing, and integrating all significant research on a certain subject. In most cases, systematic reviews involve a component of meta-analysis that uses statistical methods to integrate the information acquired from different research into one quantitative result or outline effect size (cited in Uman, 2011).
The systematic types of reviews are usually….

Psychiatric Patients and Mechanical Restraints
Mechanical restraints are one of the most controversial aspects of psychiatric care. The aversion to using them no doubt dates back to the popularity of films like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which portrays the psychiatric institutions and medical authorities using restraints to constrain the free spirits of sane, but noncompliant patients. The reality of the use of restraints is far more complex and some defend the use of these devices to promote patient safety. ccording to the review article "Mechanical restraint -- which interventions prevent episodes of mechanical restraint? -- systematic review" by Bak (2011), "in some countries, mechanical restraint is performed according to the law when psychiatric inpatients pose a risk to themselves or to others." But other countries do not allow the use of mechanical restraints: for example, in the United Kingdom, only the use of seclusion and holding (physical restraint)….

door to balloon time is an important determinant of the prognosis of STEMI patients. To reduce D2B times, most centers implement a pre-hospital triage which involves the use of pre-hospital ECG to allow direct transfer of patients with confirmed STEMI to the PCI lab. Since most health facilities do not have PCI laboratories, a quick decision needs to be made regarding fibrinolytic therapy or transfer to a PCI facility. The most important factor determining this decision is the time taken from the onset of symptoms to arrival at a hospital facility and the predicted time duration for effective transfer. Through this systemic review, we sought to analyze the role of pre-hospital management in door to balloon time (D2B), door to needle (D2N) time and the long-term mortality of STEMI patients.
Since pre-hospital delay is responsible for the greatest time loss, and is indeed the most variable factor, we tried to….

Health: EpidemiologyQuestion 1Literature and systematic reviews are quite different in terms of method and value. A literature review is generally conducted to explore a research question or a phenomenon, while a systematic review aims to answer the research question as relevant as possible (Griffith University, 2022). For example, it has specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for the selected articles, which are not seen in a general literature review. The reliability of the variables and results is taken into account, while the systematic review adds to the value of the authenticity of the research. This is not the case in the literature review, which only serves to investigate the previous studies related to the current research, irrespective of the research design.Systematic reviews are considered more reasonable than literature reviews because they are aimed at a specific phenomenon with a specific consideration of scope. The clarity for the researcher is pre-defined by….

Myasthenia Gravis is one of the most common autoimmune disorders, which is a group of diseases brought by the loss of tolerance to self-antigens. Since this autoimmune disorder has an annual incidence of between 2 and 4 per million, it has attracted considerable research in relation to its causes, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments. Some examples of research on this disorder include the study by omi, Gilhus & Aarli (2005) on the clinical, immunological and therapeutic advances of this disease as well as the systematic review of diagnosis and management of this disorder by Angelini (2011).
Angelini (2011) states that myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder caused by an autoimmune attack by the body on its own muscle endplate (p.2). In this case, an antibody binds to ACh o subunits or Musk and contributes to muscle weakness and unusual neuromuscular transmission. Similarly, omi, Gilhus & Aarli (2005), state that this disorder is….

PICOT Question Introduction
Low back pain is a common health challenge for both active and former military service members. Among the military veterans, low back pain places higher risk and has been indicated to be bear the potential for long-term disability (Bagg et al., 2017). There is a lack of effective treatment strategies, and thus, military veterans rely on pain management strategies and other medical strategies, e.g., medical imaging, opioids, injections, and surgery. To both the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), the costs of care for members with low back pain have been on the rise; necessitating the need for research on the effectiveness of some of the available methods for treating and managing low back pain. Some of the methods available are non-narcotic pain medication, yoga stretches, and physiotherapy. These interventions can be administered in combination or singly (Bagg et al., 2017). This study assesses….

(6pts)Sam Abraham, Associate Professor of Nursing, 1001 Bethel Circle, Bethel College School of Nursing, Mishawaka, Indiana, 46545, USA.3. What topic or question did the SR address? (6pts)Comparison of Risks and Benefits of Bedside Shift Report vs Traditional Shift Report4. How were potential research reports identified? (6pts)The quality of care, safety risks, and occurrence of medical errors have been linked to inadequate communication between nurses during shift change. Historically, shift reports took place at nursing stations and not at the patient's bedside, which could lead to interruptions, elongated processes, and inaccurate reporting (Reinbeck & Fitzsimons, 2013). Although bedside shift reporting has been introduced in the nursing field, there are still challenges that pose a risk to….

EBP is to facilitate strategy to eradicate short cycle return to second readmission of psychiatric patients on hospital beds. Doing so will assist health care providers in addressing the issue of bed shortage. eduction of readmission rates allows more space to be available for other patients and helps to cut costs as well as bring about better conformity with governmental regulations.
Search Process

The search process used in this literature review began with searching key words in online databases such as Cochran eview, CINAHL, and other nursing research journal databases. Google Scholar was used as the primary search engine, with filters set to permit results from these particular databases. Key words used included "reducing readmission rates," "readmission psych," "causes of readmission psych hospital," "psych hospital readmission," "reduction of psych readmission," and other combinations of key words identified by relevant articles found after conducting these searches. More than a thousand articles were….

SYSTEMATIC EVIEWS AND META-ANALYSESDiscussion: Systematic eviews and Meta-AnalysesAccording to Corcoran and Pillai (2008) systematic reviews come in handy in not only the identification, but also the synthesis of the evidence considered to be of relevance to the research query. With this in mind, systematic reviews could be considered an enhanced form of the traditional literature review approach. This is more so the case given that systematic reviews makes use of, or deploy, systematic methods in the combination as well as assessment of available evidence (Corcoran and Pillai, 2008). In a far as validity of systematic reviews is concerned, Patole (2021) observes that this has got to do with how trustworthy the review\\\'s conclusions are for a reader (193). It is important to note that in epidemiology, systematic reviews could be used in the formulation of strategies meant to impact the health and wellbeing of populations. For this reason, the relevance….

Nursing handoffs

It is extremely rare that a single patient is overseen by the same nurse throughout the duration of his or her care. Also, nurses must frequently communicate orders to patients and their families before the patient is released. Thus, nursing 'handoffs' or a shift in care-related responsibilities are a critical component of daily nursing practice. The purpose of the systematic research review, "Nursing Handoffs: A Systematic eview of the Literature" was to determine what are safe and effective practices regarding this aspect of nursing care based upon the evidence provided by existing empirical studies. Handoffs are not simply a change in personnel: they are critical junctures of care where information may be lost or important connections may be made which result in substantive improvements in patient health. In fact, handoffs are considered important enough that the Joint Commission on Nursing has a specific definition in its literature….

Canadian Psychology entitled "Expanding Opportunities for Diversity in Positive Psychology" presents the results of a systematic review of literature. The review of literature covers the years between 1998 and 2014, spanning the bulk of the duration of the field of positive psychology. The purpose of the systematic review was to examine how issues related to race, class, and gender were addressed in literature on positive psychology because of what the authors claim to be a widespread perception of the field ignoring these relevant issues. Findings of the systematic review of literature were varied, and included an underrepresentation of female authors of peer-reviewed articles in the field of positive psychology in spite of an over-representation of female participants in empirical research. Additionally, ao & Donaldson (2015) found that discussions about gender, race, or ethnicity issues are nearly absent from positive psychology literature altogether. The bulk of research in positive psychology….
