“…Some studies reported changing the infants' positions, baby lying on the stomach, and performing abdominal massages as interventions that mothers can take to calm down the infants( 34 ). Nurses should play their role as educators in the community to provide accurate information on how to manage the illness ( 35 ). Long-term colic pains cause complications for both families and the baby.…”

BACKGROUND፡ Colic pain is one of the main reasons for stress and anxiety in infants' parents, especially mothers, and there is still no specific treatment. Thus, mothers always try their best to relieve their infants' pain. The researchers attempted to investigate how mothers take care of their infants with colic.METHODS: This study was conducted with a mixed-method approach and a sequential explanatory design. In the quantitative phase, a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess how to control pain. One hundred fifty mothers of infants with colic living in Kerman, Iran, were chosen by convenience sampling. In the qualitative phase, the researchers interviewed 18 mothers using semi-structured in-depth, and face-to-face approaches. These participants were selected by purposive sampling method. The interviews were analyzed by the conventional content analysis method.RESULTS: In the quantitative phase, the mothers' most common methods to relieve colic pain were herbal medicines (3.55±0.51) and the change of position (3.35±0.67). The least methods used were probiotics (1.4±0.2) and acupuncture (0). In the qualitative phase, the main theme was "mothers support needs for care," which includes the following subcategories: "lack of trust in doctor"; "full-time care "; "feeling of inadequacy," "persistent anxiety, "care without help," and "looking for ways to control pain."CONCLUSION: Mothers need support to relieve their infants' colic. The provision of educational and psychological supportive packages can be helpful for the mothers. In addition, nurses can help mothers improve their quality of care.

“…In turn, this might have an impact on the patients calling with SLQs in a positive way, as callers’ expect clarity from telephone nurses (Gustafsson et al, ). What parts of the intervention were most useful for the participants, the education or the reflection, is, so far, unknown and will be explored further in a process evaluation (Lännerström et al, ).…”

“…The educational part of the intervention included the RN's role in handling sick leave questions, the physician's and the rehabilitation coordinator's roles in the same, the laws and regulations surrounding these roles, the role of the Social Insurance Agency and risk factors for long‐term sick leave. A more detailed description of the intervention is presented in the previous research (Lännerström, Wallman, Kaminsky, & Holmström, ).…”

Aim To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention in social insurance medicine with Registered Nurses. Design Randomized controlled trial. Methods The trial was performed in 20 primary healthcare centres in Central Sweden. The centres were randomly assigned as intervention or control. All Registered Nurses working with telephone nursing at the centres were invited (N = 114); out of these 100 agreed to participate and responded to a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the trial. Fourteen questions in the questionnaire dealt with professional background and were used as exposure variables and were analysed using nominal logistic regression. Results Registered Nurses in the centres randomly assigned for the intervention experienced handling sick leave questions as less problematic after the intervention than those in the control group. This indicated that the intervention was associated with a positive effect. However, due to the rather small study population, the effect was inconclusive.

Background The health center where this study was performed the management wanted to test whether a sick leave team provided the physicians with better conditions for the task of assessing sick leave. The goals were to ensure the quality of the assessment of patients with sick leave needs and to improve the work environment. The aim of this study was to take part in the staff's experiences of having access to and working in sick leave teams and how the working method affected the number of sick leave patients and sick leave pattern. Methods A mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. Two focus groups were conducted with a total of 11 participants. The head of the health center formed the focus groups, which consisted of 6 doctors, 3 district nurses, 1 rehab coordinator and 1 psychologist. Aggregated sick leave data for full-time and part-time sick leave of more than 90, 180 and 360 days, respectively, were obtained and compiled at project start and end, and from the corresponding period 18 months before project start. Results The introduction of sick leave teams with physicians and rehabilitation coordinator for patients who turn to the health center for mental illness and / or musculoskeletal problems emerged three main categories from the analysis of the focus group discussions: working environment, clear roles and in-depth competence. The total number of people who were on sick leave more than 365 days decreased by 27% between start and the end of the project, and the proportion of women increased by 11%. Conclusions The study shows that the complex task of sick leave can be perceived as positive by physicians with the support of teamwork. The working method is similar to that applied in occupational health care, where the physician is not alone with this task. This can also be a way to make primary care a more attractive workplace.
