Nurses´experiences of caring for children with acute pain in inpatient care : A qualitative literature review
No full textBakgrund: Barn har förmågan att uppfatta smärta och smärtupplevelser, men smärttolkningen kan variera beroende på barnets tidigare erfarenheter. Akut smärta är vanligt bland barn men kan vara svårbedömt för sjuksköterskan då yngre barn har svårt att uttrycka sin smärta. Sjuksköterskans uppgift blir därför mycket komplex när det gäller att vårda barn med akut smärta. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av att möta barn med akut smärta inom slutenvården. Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes med 12 artiklar inkluderade, genom en kvalitativ design. Analys baserades på Friberg (2017) fem analyssteg. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre teman; Sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av att bedöma barns smärta (Att använda den kliniska blicken vid smärtbedömning av barn, Sjuksköterskans individuella attityd påverkar smärtlindringen, Vikten av föräldrars roll vid smärtbedömning av barn), Sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av att involvera föräldrar (Föräldrars roll för att få ett lugnt och tryggt barn, Vikten av distraktion för att minska barnets smärta), samt Sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av organisationen (Kunskapsluckor hos sjuksköterskor vid smärtbehandling av barn, Otillräckliga resurser för adekvat smärtbehandling av barn, Brister i teamsamverkan mellan sjuksköterskor och läkare). Slutsats: Litteraturöversikten visar att sjuksköterskor har erfarenhet av flera svårigheter när det gäller att möta barn med akut smärta inom slutenvården. Det var av stor vikt att sjuksköterskorna litar på sin egen intuition och tar hjälp av barnets föräldrar. Hinder som förekommer är att sjuksköterskor har olika individuella attityder som speglas i bedömningen, samt att kunskapsluckor finns gällande smärtbedömning av barn. Därmed finns det behov av ökad kunskap och tydligare riktlinjer. Main titel: Nurses´experiences of meeting children with acute pain in inpatient care. Background: Children have the ability to register pain and pain experiences, however pain interpretation may vary depending on the child´s previous experiences. Acute pain is common among children; however, it can be difficult to assess for the nurse because younger children find it difficult to express their pain. The nurse´s task then becomes highly complex when it comes to caring for children with acute pain. Aim: The aim was to describe nurses’ experiences of meeting children with acute pain in inpatient care. Method: A literature review was conducted based on 12 articles with qualitative design. The analysis was based on Friberg (2017) five analysis steps. Results: The analysis resulted in three themes; nurses´ experiences of pain assessment in children (To use the clinical view when assessing pain in children, nurses’ individual attitudes affects pain relief, The importance of parents 'role in pain assessment of children), Nurses’ experiences of involving parents (Parents´ role for a calm and safely child, The importance of distraction when reducing the child´s pain) and Nurses’ experiences of the organization (Knowledge gaps for nurses regarding pain management, Insufficient resources for adequate pain management of children, Lacking of cooperation between nurses and doctors). Conclusion: The literature review shows that nurses´ have experiences of difficulties when it comes to meeting children with acute pain within inpatient care. It was important that the nurses trust in their own intuition and takes help by the children´s parents. Obstacles that shows are that nurses have different individual attitudes that shows in their assessments, and knowledge gaps exist regarding pain management in children. Therefor there is an increased need for knowledge and guidelines.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
