Global Efforts Enhancing Pediatric Pain
This project aimed to improve low-to-middle-income country provider knowledge and competence concerning the pathophysiology and assessment of pain via web-based education at Lao Friends Hospital for Children in Luang Prabang, Laos.Background. The surgical burden is increasingly prevalent for pediatric patients in low-tomiddle income countries. Pediatric pain is misunderstood and under-treated to a greater degree in developing countries due to a historical lack of formal pain education and cultural barriers. As global priorities continue to shift towards surgical intervention, addressing barriers to effective pediatric pain management are necessary to negate the maladaptive physiologic and psychologic consequences of unrelieved post surgical pain.

Aquatic physiotherapy intervention in chronic encephalopathy
Chronic non-progressive encephalopathy (CNE), also known as cerebral palsy, is a disorder of movement and posture resulting from non-progressive damage to the immature or developing brain, which causes clinical manifestations (BAX et al., 2005). Aquatic physiotherapy is a physiotherapeutic resource that contributes to the treatment of patients with NPC, as it improves balance, motor coordination, temporal and spatial orientation, gait, muscle flexibility and social function. There is a need for studies with a larger number of homogeneous patients, control and experimental groups with statistical significance tests and treatments of choice for improving these aspects in these patients.
Quality of Life for People with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease usually affects young adults and has a chronic and relapsing clinical course, with an impact on quality of life, particularly in aspects related to health, education, work, social and family life. It is globally considered to be a disabling disease and responsible for a marked reduction in the person's quality of life. Despite the technological advances witnessed in recent years in an attempt to reduce the incidence rates of some chronic diseases, there has been a significant increase with direct and indirect implications for the quality of life of those affected and their families. In this sense, nurses are involved in the dynamisation of innovative activities, seeking to provide creative solutions for dealing with situations of chronic illness, aiming to improve the care provided and making a real difference to the day-to-day life of the person, family and community.

Glasson teaches us just how hard it remains to hold employers accountable and I stand with her on her journey as a fellow advocate for change." -Gretchen Carlson, Acclaimed Journalist, Best-Selling Author, Empowerment Advocate, Co-Founder Lift Our Voices "This inside look at work culture and how it affects personal lives will pull you in and keep you there.

But from the moment she received her job offer, she began to experience instances of discrimination and harassment-eventually culminating in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit.Friends, family, and even lawyers told Chelsey to move on, but she knew holding Google accountable was the path to proper healing. Although Google would spend significant resources to discredit and silence her, the truth eventually prevailed.Black Box is a story of triumph over a tech giant, a cautionary tale of how misconduct against women and minorities persists in the workplace, and a rallying call to break down the many barriers to justice. No one wins when discrimination and harassment are allowed to run rampant. For those who have suffered silently, Black Box offers a critical perspective to consider in choosing your own path forward.

Evaluation of different Analytic Tools for promoting Evidence-Based Public Health
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Public Health, language: English, abstract: This study explores the effectiveness of different analytic tools in promoting Evidence-based public health (EBPH). Evidence-based public health is a concept that emphasizes the use of scientific evidence in decision-making processes related to public health. To promote the uptake of EBPH, various analytic tools can be employed. Systematic reviews and economic evaluations can be used to help promote evidence-based practices. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which are the gold standard in evidence-based medicine when it comes to public health, may not always be practical or appropriate for evaluating public health initiatives. The complexity of public health initiatives, which frequently target communities rather than individuals, as well as the significance of context and social determinants of health, must be taken into consideration. To integrate many evidence sources and handle the complexity of public health, other methodologies and analytical tools are required. Although these tools provide insightful information for practitioners and policymakers, they still require improvement in order to address complicated public health issues and incorporate a variety of evidence sources
Patients' Lived Experiences During the Transplant and Cellular Therapy Journey
The book was envisioned by bedside nurses caring for transplant and cellular therapy patients as a way to teach novice nurses and health care colleagues about the care required for this complex patient population. The nurse authors recruited an oncology nurse practitioner, transplant physician, nurse scientist and expert in medical humanities and health studies to join the project team. The dedication of the team and the willingness of the patients to contribute to the project, has led to a unique case study approach focused on the lived experience of patients and care partner(s) during the transplant/cellular therapy journey. The case studies are unique in that they encompass a qualitative narrative developed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and the inclusion of the individual's actual medical and nursing care from their health record. At every step along the trajectory of the illness, the medications and care received are described, interspersed with the voice of the patient and care partner(s) sharing their experiences. The chapters follow the individual patients and their care partner(s) through all phases of their illness. The interviews were conducted, and case studies written by the bedside clinical nurses. Visual art and prose created by patients and care partner(s)s are included in the chapters. The book also includes an introduction written by the nurse authors, a methods chapter on the inclusion of IPA in a case study, and poignant epilogue. The premise of nursing support for survivorship is woven throughout the book, highlighting how giving back aids in recovery identity. This book, full of beautiful artworks and poems, is the work of clinical nurses devoted to improving care for their patients by sharing the patient stories with others. It introduces a unique approach to the case study which could be replicated and applied to any diagnosis.

Blood Vascular Restriction Method in Chondropathy
Strength and hypertrophy training using the RFS (Restricted Blood Flow) method has been shown to be very effective through experiments and is gaining ground every day, as it is proving to be a very beneficial way of gaining strength and hypertrophy using low weights. Some researchers have used kaatsu training or RFS in Japan and found good results in gyms, orthopaedic clinics and hospitals. In Japan, this method is already widely used, with kaatsu being used in 84% of the places surveyed. Chondropathy refers to diseased cartilage. This condition usually causes pain in the front of the knee and clicking, especially when the person squats, runs, gets up from a chair or goes up and down stairs. The more specific term for this condition is patellofemoral syndrome. Patellar chondropathy has different stages, depending on the degree of cartilage degeneration: softening, fragmentation or cracks, up to erosion or total loss. This is why it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately, even when the pain starts.

Taking Care
"DiGregorio's storytelling is pitch-perfect; narrative and nursing, she understands, come from the same place and both are concerned with a deep understanding of character and plot....This is a brilliant book, and DiGregorio is a beautiful writer. Taking Care deserves to be on the reading list for nursing and medical schools, and on the bedside table of all politicians."--New York Times Book ReviewIn this sweeping cultural history of nursing from the Stone Age to the present, the critically acclaimed author of Early pays homage to the profession and makes an urgent call for change.Nurses have always been vital to human existence. A nurse was likely there when you were born and a nurse might well be there when you die. Familiar in hospitals and doctors' offices, these dedicated health professionals can also be found in schools, prisons, and people's homes; at summer camps; on cruise ships, and even at NASA. Yet despite being celebrated during the Covid-19 epidemic, nurses are often undermined and undervalued in ways that reflect misogyny and racism, and that extend to their working conditions--and affect the care available to everyone. But the potential power of nursing to create a healthier, more just world endures.The story of nursing is complicated. It is woven into war, plague, religion, the economy, and our individual lives in myriad ways. In Taking Care, journalist Sarah DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today--caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are actively changing the world, often invisibly. An absorbing and empathetic work that combines storytelling with nuanced reporting, Taking Care examines how we have always tried to care for each other--the incredible ways we have succeeded and the ways in which we have failed. Fascinating, empowering and significant, it is a call for change and a love letter to the nurses of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Casebook

This book lifts the veil on the largely hidden work of this unsung, health professional. In this book you will find that the role of the health visitor is so much more complex than their famed job of 'just weighing babies.'

Front Line Nursing Stories
When reading real-life stories about nursing, you might not expect mentions of fox fur coats or cages full of snakes ("five feet long and very skinny"). Yet these amusing vignettes sit alongside harrowing tales of plane crashes and time-honoured memories of Florence Nightingale. Front Line Nursing Stories is a compelling anthology of first-hand accounts longtime nurse and author Marian Facciolo collected from women who have worked in hospitals, care homes, communities, and prisons from the 1940s to present day, coping with the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the same time, Facciolo asks readers to consider whether supports for the increased expectations of the profession (education, skills, workload) have kept pace. Front Line Nursing Stories is an eye-opening look at the evolution of healing as a profession, poignantly and pointedly shared through the eyes of women who have helped babies draw their first breaths and comforted palliative patients so they can die with dignity.
