Standards for the level of nurse staffing in critical care units
No full textThe gold standard for nurse staffing levels in critical care in the United Kingdom has been established since 1967 at one nurse for each patient. Recent evidence suggests however that there is a great deal of difference in the staffing levels and skill mix between individual critical care units in the UK, with the result that nurses are being challenged to justify and defend the 1:1 ratio. The aim of this article is to provide the wider intensive care community with an overview of the Standards for Nurse Staffing in Critical Care units as proposed by the organisations representing critical care nurses in the UK
Recall this Book 31: A Conversation with Vanessa Smith
No full textU. Sydney professor Vanessa Smith-author of Intimate Strangers, and also of a lovely short piece about Marion Milner-joins John to discuss her pandemic reading. She praises a Milner (quasi)travel book, but she also makes the case for M F K Fisher and a book about the glories of hypochondria. Then the old friends share their newfound love for spiky Australian novelist Helen Garner, doyenne of share-house feminism
Literatura e representação do conhecimento
No full textThis live is part of the Information Records project: dialogues between Librarianship, Archival Science and Information Science (CI); coordinated by the Superintendent of the University Library System (SIBI/UFBA), Professor Ivana Borges Lins, in partnership with the Information Science Institute (ICI)/UFBA.
Live mediated by Me. Bruno Almeida (ICI/UFBA). Me. Vanessa Jamile Santana dos Reis (SIBI/UFBA librarian) addressed the theme: black feminist literature as an approach to the representation of knowledge, concerns, gaps. In view of this, it presents information as a contextual subsidy and exposes the need for representation for social transformation. The study had as general objective to analyze the informational demands coming from the black female scenario in order to demonstrate the need for terminological adaptations in the instruments of knowledge representation. She presented the object of study, the Afro-Brazilian literatures: Úrsula, by Maria Firmina, and Ponciá Vicêncio, by Conceição Evaristo. Vanessa Jamille exposed the results and final considerations of the research, among them the political and social responsibility of information professionals with regard to the theme.Esta live faz parte do projeto Registros de Informação: diálogos entre a Biblioteconomia, Arquivologia e Ciência da Informação (CI); coordenado pela Superintendente do Sistema Universitário de Bibliotecas (SIBI /UFBA), professora Ivana Borges Lins, em parceria com o Instituto de Ciência da Informação (ICI) /UFBA.

Differences in profiles of emotional behavioral problems across instruments in verbally fluent versus language impaired children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
No full textThere has been increasing attention to the assessment of minimally verbal (MV) children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous research has begun to examine the relationship between verbal abilities and emotional and behavioral problems (EBP). The current study compared parent-reported EBP in children of differing language levels on two instruments commonly used in ASD research and clinical practice, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC). The study consisted of 1,937 6-18 years old children with ASD from the Simons Simplex Collection. Children were divided into three language groups, by ADOS module (Module 1 = MV, 2 = phrase speech (PS), 3 and 4 = verbally fluent (VF)) and then compared on CBCL and ABC subscales. The ABC and CBCL showed different patterns of elevations across the language groups. MV children were reported to have more impairment than VF children on the ABC Irritability, Lethargy and Hyperactivity scales. Children with less language (MV and PS) exhibited less impairment on the CBCL Internalizing domain than VF children, but did not differ on the Externalizing domain. Post hoc comparisons showed that Internalizing differences were driven by fewer children with less language exhibiting clinically elevated Anxious/Depressed scores compared to VF children. The present study underscores the significance of considering language when assessing EBP. Results have implications for the psychiatric screening of children with ASD, particularly those with language impairments. Researchers should exercise caution when applying EBP instruments designed for use with different populations and purposes to broad samples of children.Peer reviewe
