Psychosocial Difficulties

Coordinators may play a key role during the return-to-work (RTW) process for people on sickness absence. There are still few studies on the newly implemented rehabilitation coordinators (RECO) within Swedish healthcare, and none focus on their competence. The aim of this study was to explore how persons with multimorbidity and psychosocial difficulties describe the professional competence of the RECO they encountered during their RTW process. The study takes a relational and practical approach in defining professional competence, including both what professionals do and what they possess. Interviews with 12 people with multimorbidity and psychosocial difficulties who had encountered a RECO during their RTW process were analysed using thematic analysis. Six different themes were found: communicative and coordinating skills; advisory and guidance skills; engagement and advocacy skills; being persistent and flexible; being empathic and therapeutic; being professional and trustworthy. Most of these are found in research on RTW coordinators, but being persistent, and having advisory, guidance, advocacy and therapeutic skills have not been recognised as important competences previously. This study adds patients’ views on important professional competence that support the RTW process, which should be regarded in further developments of RECOs’ functions and their competence descriptions.

Abstract Objective The aim was to explore firefighter’s experiences during their recovery from injury. Focused specifically on exploring perceived psychosocial barriers and facilitators firefighters faced during recovery and return to work. Methods Semi-structured interviews were used to provide an in-depth understanding of the firefighter’s experiences. The semi-structured interviews were informed by a topic guide. The topic guide focused on five main themes, (1) overall experience of returning to operational duties following an injury, (2) perceived barriers experienced during their return to work, (3) perceived facilitators experienced during their return to work, (4) confidence in participating in physical activity following injury and (5) where they felt areas of improvement could be made with the return to work process. Thematic analysis of the data collected was undertaken using The Framework Method. Results Two main themes were sought after transcription: barriers and facilitators. From these, nine subthemes were identified (1) communication, (2) confidence in physical activity participation, (3) modified duties, (4) physiotherapy, (5) return to operational duties, (6) support, (7) inconsistency, (8) use of station gyms, (9) detachment from the watch. Conclusions Consideration should be made for the consistency of procedures followed during an individual’s return to work following an injury. Further research is needed to understand if the themes identified in this study are the same for other fire services. Further research is also needed to understand how the findings may be best implemented within the fire service.

Risk Magnitude

Understanding risk perceptions of the public is critical for risk communication. In February 2020, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare started collecting weekly qualitative data on coronavirus disease (COVID-19) risk perception that informs risk communication efforts. The process is based on thematic analysis of emails and social media messages from the public and identifies factors linked to appraisal of risk magnitude, which are developed into risk communication recommendations together with health and communication experts.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar as competências necessárias ao enfermeiro para o acolhimento com classificação de risco nos serviços de emergência. Método: revisão integrativa com busca na base de dados LILACS, BDENF e na biblioteca virtual SCIELO, de artigos publicados entre os anos de 2013 a 2017, as produções científicas foram submetidas à Análise Temática e apresentadas em forma de figura. Resultados: selecionaram-se 18 artigos que resultaram nas categorias “Competências do enfermeiro na classificação de risco” e “Influenciadores do processo de ACCR”.  Conclusão: conclui-se que uma estratégia eficaz para diminuir a lacuna do despreparo dos profissionais e a fragilidade do fluxo do ACCR é investir na formação do enfermeiro desde a graduação por meio de situações-problemas que o aproximem da realidade que será vivenciada na prática assistencial. Assim, o enfermeiro terá a oportunidade de desenvolver o senso crítico concomitante às competências e habilidades necessárias para um atendimento eficaz e resoluto.

Method: integrative review with search in the LILACS database, BDENF and in the SCIELO virtual library, of articles published between the years of 2013 to 2017, the scientific productions were submitted to the Thematic Analysis and presented in figure form. Results: 18 articles were selected that resulted in the categories "Nurses competencies in risk classification" and "Influencers of the WRC process". Conclusion: it is concluded that an effective strategy to reduce the gap in the professionals' unpreparedness and the fragility of the WRC flow is to invest in the training of nurses since graduation through situations-problems that approach the reality that will be experienced in care practice. Thus, the nurse will have the opportunity to develop the critical sense concomitant with the skills and abilities necessary for effective and resolute care.
