Insights

Intravenous (IV) iron treats anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). A new guide helps healthcare professionals provide IV iron services in non-acute hospital settings, addressing increased demand.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Intravenous (IV) iron is standard for managing anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
  • Earlier CKD identification due to eGFR reporting has increased anaemia diagnosis and management needs.
  • Anaemia prevalence in CKD stages 3-5 is 4.5%, with higher incidence in diabetic patients (22%) compared to non-diabetics (7.9%).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the growing demand for IV iron treatment in CKD patients.
  • To develop a practical guide for establishing IV iron services in non-acute hospital settings.
  • To support healthcare professionals in managing anaemia in CKD.

Main Methods:

  • A multiprofessional group, including the Anaemia Nurse Specialist Association (ANSA) and the CKD forum, identified the need for innovative service delivery.
  • Development of a practical guide for healthcare professionals.
  • The guide was launched at ANSA and British Renal Society conferences in 2009.

Main Results:

  • A practical guide for developing IV iron services in non-acute settings was produced.
  • The guide aims to optimize resource utilization and service provision.
  • The guide supports the management of increasing numbers of CKD patients requiring anaemia treatment.

Conclusions:

  • There is a growing need for efficient and accessible IV iron services for CKD patients.
  • Providing IV iron services in non-acute settings is a viable strategy to meet demand.
  • The developed guide offers a practical framework for implementing such services.

Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...
