Borgerservice og offentlige digitale løsninger på bibliotekerne : Retlige og biblioteksfaglige udfordringer i vejledningen

Formålet med artiklen er at undersøge de retlige og de deraf følgende biblioteksfaglige udfordringer i forbindelse med den vejledning i offentlige digitale selvbetjeningsløsninger, der i forbindelse med den fællesoffentlige digitaliseringsstrategi er kommet til som en ny opgave på mange danske folkebiblioteker. Undersøgelsen bygger dels på feltstudier gennemført i vinteren 2013/14 som led i forskningsprojektet "Borgerservicevejledning på biblioteket", og dels på regler og retspraksis på det forvaltningsretlige område. I artiklen beskrives vejledningstyper og centrale problemstillinger, der kunne iagttages i feltstudierne, og der peges på retlige udfordringer i forhold hertil. Artiklen afsluttes med en række opmærksomhedspunkter i forhold til den faglige indsigt og bevidsthed, der kræves af biblioteksmedarbejderen i rollen som vejleder og repræsentant for kommunen

The silver-releasing foam dressing, contreet foam, promotes faster healing of critically colonised venous leg ulcers: a randomised, controlled trial

The study compared the effect of a sustained silver-release foam dressing (Contreet Foam) with a foam dressing (Allevyn Hydrocellular) without added silver in critically colonised venous leg ulcers with delayed healing. The study was a multicentre, open, randomised, controlled study lasting for 4 weeks. Ulcer area and healing were assessed weekly. Odour, maceration, absorption capacity and leakage were evaluated at dressing changes. All adverse events were recorded. One hundred and twenty-nine patients were included (Contreet Foam: 65, Allevyn Hydrocellular: 64). The two groups were comparable in all respects. After 4 weeks, there was a significantly greater reduction in ulcer area in the Contreet Foam group (45%) than in the Allevyn Hydrocellular group (25%). After 1 and 4 weeks, odour was present in significantly less of the ulcers in the Contreet Foam group (17% and 19%, respectively) compared with the Allevyn Hydrocellular group (47% and 39%, respectively) and at the final visit there were significantly fewer leakages in the Contreet Foam group (19%) compared with the Allevyn Hydrocellular group (49%). Also, less maceration was observed after 1 and 4 weeks in the Contreet Foam group (34% and 37%, respectively) compared with the Allevyn Hydrocellular group (55% and 48%, respectively). The occurrence and cause of adverse events were equally distributed between the study groups. The present study provides evidence of the superior performance of the silver-releasing dressing, Contreet Foam, compared with a traditional moist foam wound healing dressing in the treatment of critically colonised, chronic venous leg ulcers. The results of this randomised, controlled study suggest an important role of sustained silver-releasing dressings in the treatment of critically colonised chronic wound
