Inevitably, reading is one of the requirements to be undergone. To improve the performance and quality, someone needs to have something new every day. It will suggest you to have more inspirations, then. However, the needs of inspirations will make you searching for some sources. Even from the other people experience, internet, and many books.

Patients with mood disorders are at high risk of suicidality, and emergency departments (ED) are essential in the management of this risk. This study aims to (1) describe the suicidal thoughts and behaviours of patients with mood disorders who come to ED; (2) assess the psychometric properties of the Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R) in a psychiatric ED; and (3) determine the best predictors of suicidality for these patients. A total of 300 participants with mood disorders recruited for the Signature Bank of the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (IUSMM) were retained. Suicidality was assessed using the SBQ-R. Other clinical and demographic details were recorded. Bivariate analyses, correlations and multivariate regression analyses were conducted. SBQ-R's internal consistency, construct and convergent validities were also tested. In the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), 53.3% of the sample stated they had suicidal or self-harm thoughts in the last 2 weeks. The mean score obtained at the SBQ-R was 8.3. Multivariate analysis found that SBQ-R scores were associated with depressive symptoms and substance use, especially alcohol, accounting for 44.3% of the model variance. Cronbach's alpha was 0.81 [0.78, 0.84] and factor loadings for items 1-4 were 0.68, 0.88, 0.54, and 0.85, respectively. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model fit the data well. The SBQ-R is a brief and valid instrument that can easily be used in busy emergency departments to assess suicide risk. Depressive symptoms and alcohol use shall also be assessed, as they are determinants of increased risk of suicidality.

Suicidality and mood disorders in psychiatric emergency patients: Results from SBQ-R.

Il est reconnu que les infirmieres doivent regulierement adapter leur pratique clinique en regard des nouvelles percees scientifiques. Cependant, les changements de pratique possibles par la mise en place de projets cliniques peuvent parfois etre longs et difficiles a concretiser dans les milieux de soins, et ce, compte tenu par exemple du contexte de soins, du profil de la clientele, de l’organisation des soins et du travail, etc. Une demarche algorithmique (i.e., sequence d’actions) visant a soutenir les infirmieres dans l’evaluation de nouveaux projets d’interventions infirmieres, incluant les autres membres de l’equipe interdisciplinaire, les chercheurs, ainsi que les patients et leurs proches, a ete developpee. Cet algorithme considere l’environnement clinique dans lequel s’operationnalisera le projet d’interventions infirmieres et se deroule en cinq etapes soit : 1) l’identification et la description d’un probleme de soins a resoudre ou d’une pratique a ameliorer ; 2) le developpement ou l’adaptation d’une intervention infirmiere appropriee ; 3) le choix d’un devis d’evaluation pour cette intervention infirmiere ; 4) le pilotage (mise a l’essai) de l’intervention puis ; 5) l’implantation et le retour reflexif sur la demarche.

Évaluation de projets d'interventions infirmières : un algorithme pour soutenir la pratique des cliniciennes

Background The use of chemical restraints (CRs) in health care facilities is a complex intervention that raises questions about its effectiveness and whether it is safe and patient oriented. Purpose This review aims to gather nursing quality standards for the use of CR through an innovative method of knowledge synthesis, the realist review, to support the development of a quality evaluation tool. Methods A realist review method was chosen. Results An operational definition of chemical restraint is proposed, a concept seen as synonymous with the management of behavioral symptoms by pharmacological agents with sedative proprieties. Twenty-eight quality standards were identified and presented in a theoretical model. Conclusions These quality standards will allow the evaluation of practices from a nursing perspective for the use of CR in health care settings.
