“…9,12 However, the working conditions of nurses are also determinants of the development of resilience, which has been shown to be decreased when nurses suffer stress and workplace bullying. 13,14 Despite the numerous studies on resilience in health professionals 6,10 and the need to implement strategies to improve the situation of emergency workers, 15,16 institutions still do not take active measures to strengthen resilience. Therefore, given the international health emergency caused by coronavirus disease (COVID- 19), in which it is believed that 90,000 health professionals have been affected by the disease, and 260 nurses have died, 17 it seems pertinent to continue investigating resilience in health care workers, specifically those who work in emergency departments and who may be subjected to highstress situations.…”

The current literature on resilience indicates that several variables affect the development of nursing and health care workers' resilience. This article contributes the findings that resilience in nurses is low and is influenced by work-related and personal variables such as shift work, age, and marital status. Key implications for emergency nursing practice found in this article are that resilience needs to be strengthened and that organizations should actively participate in implementing strategies to improve working conditions and personal resources.

“…In order to maintain communication and productivity while adhering to infectious control safety guidelines, in-person meetings for both faculty and residents were converted to virtual platforms. In an environment already known for its challenges to work-life balance, [2][3][4][5] this has added a layer of complexity.…”

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual meetings became the norm in academic emergency medicine (EM) departments. This study explores the experiences of academic EM faculty within this environment. Methods:In 2021, authors surveyed a cross-sectional convenience sample of EM faculty using a mixed-methods approach to explore perceptions of the virtual meeting environment. Authors reported data on a five-point Likert scale, summarized as percentages, and calculated differences using Pearson's chi-squared test, where p < 0.05 was significant. Free text responses were analyzed qualitatively.Results: Two-hundred-fifty-nine responses were collected, (female [55.6%], ≤40 years old, [39.8%]) of which 33.2% had children ≤7 years old. Most respondents felt the total number of virtual meetings had increased and were more likely to happen outside of regular business hours compared to in-person meetings. Most faculty preferred meetings during regular hours and liked the virtual format overall. Younger faculty respondents were more polarized in their preferences of timing of meetings and reported more pressure to accept meetings outside of regular hours. Female respondents with young children were more likely to dislike meetings outside regular hours and to have declined them. Women faculty, younger faculty, and women faculty with young children were significantly more likely to agree that women had been "more impacted by the new virtual work environment." Qualitative themes highlighting the flexibility provided by the virtual work environment and decreased commuting time, though many felt communication was limited in virtual meetings.Conclusions: Academic EM faculty mostly preferred keeping meetings during regular business hours and in a virtual format. Experiences varied by age but not by gender overall. Women with young children reported greater challenges than women without. Men did not differ by parental status. The virtual format provided increased flexibility but limited communication and engagement. Academic EM departments may use this data to inform future meeting practices.

Research priority setting in emergency care: A scoping review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective Priority areas for emergency care research are emerging and becoming ever more important. The objectives of this scoping review were to (1) provide a comprehensive overview of published emergency care priority‐setting studies by collating and comparing priority‐setting methodology and (2) describe the resulting research priorities identified. Methods The Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework was used. Inclusion criteria were peer‐review articles available in English, published between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2019 and used 2 or more search terms. Five databases (Scopus, AustHealth, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Ovid MEDLINE) were searched. REporting guideline for PRIority SEtting of health research (REPRISE) criteria were used to assess the quality of evidence of included articles. Results Forty‐five studies were included. Fourteen themes for emergency care research were considered within 3 overarching research domains: emergency populations (pediatrics, geriatrics), emergency care workforce and processes (nursing, shared decision making, general workforce, and process), and emergency care clinical areas (imaging, falls, pain management, trauma care, substance misuse, infectious diseases, mental health, cardiology, general clinical care). Variation in the reporting of research priority areas was evident. Priority areas to drive the global agenda for emergency care research are limited given the country and professional group‐specific context of existing studies. Conclusion This comprehensive summary of generated research priorities across emergency care provides insight into current and future research agendas. With the nature of emergency care being inherently broad, future priorities may warrant population (eg, children, geriatrics) or subspecialty (eg, trauma, toxicology, mental health) focus and be derived using a rigorous framework and patient engagement.
