Second victim syndrome in intensive care unit healthcare workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis on types, prevalence, risk factors, and recovery time.

https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/second-victim-syndrome-intensive-care-unit-healthcare-workers-systematic-review-and-meta Naya K, Aikawa G, Ouchi A, et al. PLoS One. 2023;18(10):e0292108. Healthcare workers who are involved in patient safety incidents and experience adverse psychological or emotional outcomes are often referred to as second victims. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that 58% of healthcare workers in intensive care unit (ICU) settings have experienced second victim outcomes, including guilt, anxiety, anger at oneself, and decreased self-confidence. The review also found that one in five individuals took longer than 12 months to recover or did not recover at all, underscoring the importance of organizational support programs for healthcare workers involved in patient safety incidents.

Impact of leadership walkarounds on operational, cultural and clinical outcomes: a systematic review.

https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/impact-leadership-walkarounds-operational-cultural-and-clinical-outcomes-systematic-review Foster M, MHA BS, Mazur L. BMJ Open Qual. 2023;12(4):e002284. Healthcare leadership walkarounds (LWs) involve organizational leaders visiting hospital wards to hear directly from frontline staff about concerns and what is going well. This systematic review describes the impact of LWs on organizational and patient outcomes. Most studies (11 out of 12) measured organizational or clinical outcomes. Organizational outcomes included staff perception of safety culture, near miss reports, teamwork, and feeling heard. Only one study investigated the association between LWs and clinical outcomes; in that study, catheter-associated urinary tract infections decreased following implementation of LW.

Kids with and without mental health diagnoses are heading to emergency rooms for help

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/index.htm?utm_campaign=morning_rounds&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=279546180&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8QcR8b-cFN_ZiBdrwLJTF4bmhCi7979664MfbzM_NvcpRcVvBPWWqNfUdGV0q8Isqm6VdACBP7OdgG-tVLQ5gl3tKeMw&utm_content=279546180&utm_source=hs_email Just the background is jarring before you see what’s new in today’s CDC report comparing visits to emergency departments for mental health reasons by kids and adolescents with and without diagnosed disorders. To set the stage, the authors remind us that visits for mental health reasons in this age group, including suicide attempts and suicides, jumped 60% from 2007 to 2016. In the pandemic’s first eight months, mental health-related ED visits rose by 24% for ages 5 to 11 and 31% for ages 12 to 17, compared with 2019 ED visits. The new report, covering 2018 to 2021, found these differences: Visit rates related to diagnosed disorders were higher for adolescents than for kids under 12, and visit rates without a diagnosis were higher among younger children. Visit rates related to mental health disorders were higher for girls than boys, and for Black children of all ages than for Hispanic or white children. One common factor: Medicaid was the top source of payment.

Specific measures for data-intensive health research without consent: a systematic review of soft law instruments and academic literature. Julie-Anne R Smit et al. Eur J Hum Genet 2023 10

https://phgkb.cdc.gov/PHGKB/phgHome.action?query=Informed%20consent&action=search&Mysubmit=Search From the abstract: " We performed a systematic review of relevant soft law instruments and academic literature to identify what measures are mentioned in those documents. Our analysis resulted in the identification of four overarching themes of suggested measures: organizational measures; technical measures; oversight and review mechanisms; and public engagement and participation. Some of the suggested measures do not substantially contribute to the clarification of the GDPR’s “suitable and specific measures” requirement because they remain vague or broad in nature and encompass all types of data processing.
