Patients’, family members’ and healthcare practitioners’experiences of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: a qualitative descriptive study using emotional touchpoints

Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are devastating conditions resulting from a severe immune‐mediated mucocutaneous reaction which normally occurs as a result of medication.1 In the acute phase, the patient presents with a febrile illness, followed by skin and mucous membrane necrosis and detachment.2 The patient can quickly become critically ill and is treated as a medical emergency. There may be long‐lasting psychological effects on patients and their significant others.3 However, there is a dearth of research on the experiences of patients with SJS/TEN, those close to them and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) providing care

Towards the development of a national patient transfer document between residential and acute care—A pilot study

Background A lack of standardisation of documentation accompanying older people when transferring from residential to acute care is common and this may result in gaps in information and in care for older people. In Ireland, this lack of standardisation prompted the development of an evidence based national transfer document. Objectives To pilot a new national transfer document for use when transferring older people from residential to acute care and obtain the perceptions of its use from staff in residential and acute care settings. Methods This was a pre‐ and post‐study design using purposive sampling following the STROBE guidelines. The pilot was conducted in 26 sites providing residential care and three university hospitals providing acute care. Pre‐pilot questionnaires focused on current documentation and were distributed to staff in residential care (n = 875). A pilot of the new paper‐based transfer document was then conducted over three months and post‐pilot questionnaires distributed to staff from both residential and acute care settings (n = 1085). The findings of the pilot study were discussed with multidisciplinary expert advisory and stakeholder groups who recommended some revisions. This consensus informed the development of the final design of the new revised transfer document. Results Pre‐pilot: 23% response rate; 83% (n = 168) participants agreed/strongly agreed that existing documentation was straightforward to complete but could be more person‐centred. Post‐pilot: 11% response rate; 75% (n = 93) of participants agreed/strongly agreed that the new transfer document promoted person‐centred care but recommended revisions to the new document regarding layout and time to complete. Conclusions This study highlighted some of the challenges of providing safe, effective and relevant transfer information that is feasible and usable in everyday practice. Implications for practice Standardisation and being person‐centred are important determining factors in the provision of relevant up to date information on the resident being transferred
