Frequency distributions for variables measured.

<p>Histograms show distribution frequencies and curves of best fit for: A) Correct item identification, B) Mean reaction time, C) Confidence ratings, where the higher the number the higher the confidence, D) Imageability ratings, where the higher the number the more imageable an object is.</p

Frequency distributions for variables measured.

<p>Histograms show distribution frequencies and curves of best fit for: A) Correct item identification, B) Correct category identification, C) Familiarity ratings, where the higher the number the lower the familiarity, D) Representativeness, where the higher the number the less representative of an object the sound is, E) Affective ratings for pleasantness, where the higher the number the less pleasant the reaction is to the sound, and F) Arousal ratings, where the higher the number the more calm/sleepy the reaction is to the sound.</p

Understanding registered nurse decision-making, communication and care delivery between emergency departments and residential aged care facilities: A research protocol

Objectives: Nursing staff in residential aged care facilities (RACF)s often make decisions about the transfer of residents to the emergency department (ED). This paper describes the protocol of a study that aims to understand decision-making process utilised by RACF registered nurses (RNs) and to explore the perceptions of RNs about the decision and communication process between RACF and ED. Methods: The proposed mixed-method study will survey and interview RACF RNs to understand their decision to transfer a resident and collect information about older people referred to the ED. Data collection will involve telephone survey, ED information system (EDIS) data and semistructured interviews. Results: The project outcomes will provide an understanding of existing ED service provision, communication between facilities and the reasons for transfer of older person to ED. This may inform redesign in communication processes between the ED and local RACFs and outreach care from the ED to RACFs
