Predictors of violent incidents amongst patients in psychiatric intensive care units: A review of global evidence
Aim: The objective is to identify key predictors of violent
behaviour amongst patients admitted to PICUs.
Methods: A literature search was carried out in five online databases using a predefined strategy with terms relevant to the setting and population. Articles were screened
based on the inclusion criteria and quality assessed using
the Hawker critical appraisal tool. A thematic matrix was
prepared from the final articles to highlight the pivotal predictors for violent behaviour in PICUs.
Results: Initial search without duplicates retrieved 152
articles, of which 120 were excluded after screening their
title and abstract. The full-text of 32 articles was read of
which a total of 10 studies with 4733 participants were
included in the literature review. These studies had good
designs and methodological quality. The key predictors of
violent incidents were a longer duration of in-patient stay,
higher readmission rate, non-voluntary admission to PICUs,
previous history of violence and substance misuse, permanent staff absences, being a single young male, having low
level of education and having schizophrenia.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that a variety of different factors contribute to violent incidents in PICUs. Our results may assist in the development of community and hospital-based interventions including situation management
regular staff training, promoting a friendly environment and
post-incident debriefs that can prevent future violent incidents in PICU
COVID-19 Impact on Indian Economy and Health: The Emergence of Corona-Economics
The Novel Corona virus, popularly known as COVID-19, has crossed all borders in a very short period of time and has spared no continent except Antarctica. Some advanced countries are affected more severely than others; with United States of America, Spain, Italy, China, Germany, France and UK being the worst affected of all with a few more are joining them soon. Several countries has locked-down to prevent further spread of the virus. This resulted in severe economic and health impacts on the public at large
Finite p-groups with central automorphism group of minimal order
We study finite p-groups G of coclass upto 4 for which the group Aut_z(G) of
all central automorphisms of G is of minimal possible order. As a consequence,
we obtain very short and elementary proofs of main results of Sharma and Gumber
[7].Comment: 4 page
Equality of certain automorphism groups of finite -groups
Let be a finite -group and let Aut denote the full automorphism
group of . In the recent past, there has been interest in finding necessary
and sufficient conditions on such that certain subgroups of Aut are
equal. We prove a technical lemma and, as a consequence, obtain some new
results and short and alternate proofs of some known results of this type.Comment: 6 page
