Randomized Controlled Trial
The effectiveness of crisis resource management and team debriefing in resuscitation education of nursing students: A randomised controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to investigate (i) whether integrating a course on crisis resource management principles and team debriefings in simulation training, increases self-efficacy, team efficacy and technical skills of nursing students in resuscitation settings and (ii) which phases contribute the most to these outcomes. ⋯ By partnering with healthcare settings, it becomes possible to offer interdisciplinary simulation training that can increase patient safety.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The impact of evidence-based sepsis guidelines on emergency department clinical practice: a pre-post medical record audit.
To explore the number of patients presenting with sepsis before and after guideline implementation; the impact of sepsis guidelines on triage assessment, emergency department management and time to antibiotics. ⋯ The use of evidenced-based guidelines can impact clinical decision-making and behaviour, resulting in the translation and support of best practice and improving patient care.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Postoperative pain: knowledge and beliefs of patients and nurses.
To describe patients' and nurses' knowledge and beliefs regarding pain management. Moreover, to explore the effect of information and education on patients' and nurses' knowledge and beliefs regarding pain management. ⋯ It is necessary to continue to inform patients and nurses about the need for analgesics after surgery. Such education could also emphasise that a discrepancy between a patient's reported pain score and the nurse's own assessment of the patient's pain should prompt a discussion with the patient about his/her pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial
'Intensive care unit survivorship' - a constructivist grounded theory of surviving critical illness.
To theorise intensive care unit survivorship after a critical illness based on longitudinal qualitative data. ⋯ For healthcare professionals and policymakers, it is important to realise that recovery and transitioning through to survivorship happen within an individual's time frame, not a schedule imposed by the healthcare system. Currently, there are no care pathways or policies in place for critical illness survivors that would support intensive care unit survivors and their families in the transitions to survivorship.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Gum chewing combined with oral intake of a semi-liquid diet in the postoperative care of patients after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery.
To evaluate the effects of gum chewing combined with a semi-liquid diet on patients after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ This study developed a new postoperative diet regimen to improve the postoperative care of patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
