IntroductionRegardless of the healthcare setting, person-centred care and its implementation in caring for older people are a central issue for those who are responsible as professional caregivers and for those in need of care within the care process. Both aspects encompass the possibility of recognising personal preferences. To provide person-centred care, professional caregivers need to know about the individual preferences of the persons being cared for. Therefore, the PELI (an acronym for ‘Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory’) instrument was developed at the Polisher Research Institute (USA) for the systematic recording of individual preferences of older people in need of care. There is currently no comparable instrument available in the German language.MethodsAs part of the proposed project PELI-D, all versions of the original PELI instrument (nursing home version) were (1) culture-sensitively translated into German and will be (2) examined in a pilot study for their reliability, feasibility and practicability. For the project PELI-D, we worked together with our practice partners in Germany (Diaconia and Caritas in North Rhine-Westphalia) and collaborated with our partners in the USA who developed the PELI instrument. This study protocol focuses on the pilot study, which will be conducted by the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) (site Witten).Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the internal quality control committee of the DZNE (ID number: WI029 PELI-D) and by the ethics committee of the German Society of Nursing Science Duisburg branch office (ID number: 18-010). All personal information will be deidentified with a specific identification code and stored in a secured location apart from the rest of the study data. Only qualified and study-related staff will be allowed access to the data. The results of the study will be distributed nationally and internationally through peer-reviewed journals, conferences and journals for nursing care practice.

Abstract Burn injuries comprise the most common accidents world-wide. The delivery of burn care has been adversely impacted by the absence of effective burn management and aesthetic services. This study attempts to address the attitude of Saudi residents of plastic surgery towards obtaining a burn fellowship, and to examine the factors that might influence their decisions in this regard. An online survey was sent to 39 plastic surgery residents in Saudi Arabia including levels from PGY 1-6 in the academic year of 2019. The questionnaire conducted to demonstrate interest, knowledge and major factors influencing or discouraging residents from choosing Burn as a sub-specialty in their future career. Residents responded to knowledge questions on a scale of three (below average/ average/ above average). The response rate was 84%. A 33 residents completed the questionnaire. The age group was between 30 and 34 years. only 27% of the respondents expressing interest in burn practice. The main factors that make the plastic surgery resident refrain from pursing burn as fellowship were: multiple operations sessions, lifestyle, financial outcome and emotional aspects. On the other hand, the paucity of burn surgeons and being involved humanitarian mission were an attracting factors. Most of the residents believe that burn must be obligatory and continue to be part of all plastic surgery training programs (100%). In Saudi Arabia, the relative paucity of specialist mentors on plastic surgery programs may limit residents’ exposure to subspecialties such as burn during plastic surgery rotational experiences. The findings from this survey may help plastic surgery program directors or burn surgeons in particular to find out strategies to attract future trainees.
