Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

1.4K
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.3K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

10.7K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.5K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.6K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Summary

Most UK occupational physicians (OPs) have engaged in research or teaching, but few are currently active. Lack of time and opportunity are key barriers, especially for industry-based OPs, hindering the UK occupational health academic base.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Medical Education
  • Academic Medicine

Background:

  • Research and teaching are crucial for medical professionals, including occupational physicians (OPs).
  • Academic skills are vital for evidence-based practice and advancing occupational health (OH).
  • Concerns exist regarding the declining UK OH academic base and the research-practice gap, prompting calls for greater practitioner involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a baseline of research and teaching activities among UK OPs.
  • To identify barriers hindering research and teaching participation.
  • To inform strategies for overcoming these barriers and strengthening the OH academic base.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was conducted with UK occupational physicians.
  • The survey included career profile questions developed through expert panel consensus.
  • This formed part of a larger Delphi study focused on UK OH research priorities.

Main Results:

  • 213 OPs responded (18% of UK practitioners).
  • 76% had undertaken research at some point; 27% were currently research-active.
  • 72% had undertaken teaching; 64% were currently teaching-active.
  • Significant interest exists in undertaking research (40%) and teaching (42%) among those not currently active.
  • Primary barriers identified were lack of time and opportunity, particularly for industry-based OPs facing commercial demands.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a benchmark for academic activity among UK OPs.
  • Identified barriers can guide research funding and educational strategies.
  • Addressing these barriers is essential to increase participation and develop the UK OH academic base.
