A qualitative study of pharmacy nurse providers of community based post-birth care in Queensland, Australia
Background: Reduced length of hospital stay following childbirth has placed increasing demands on community-based post-birth care services in Australia. Queensland is one of several states in Australia in which nurses are employed privately by pharmacies to provide maternal and child health care, yet little is known about their prevalence, attributes or role. The aims of this paper are to (1) explore the experiences and perspectives of a sample of pharmacy nurses and GPs who provide maternal and child health services in Queensland, Australia (2) describe the professional qualifications of the sample of pharmacy nurses, and (3) describe and analyze the location of pharmacy nurse clinics in relation to publicly provided services.Methods: As part of a state-wide evaluation of post-birth care in Queensland, Australia, case studies were conducted in six regional and metropolitan areas which included interviews with 47 key informants involved in postnatal care provision. We report on the prevalence of pharmacy nurses in the case study sites, and on the key informant interviews with 19 pharmacy nurses and six General Practitioners (GPs). The interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically.Results: The prevalence of pharmacy nurses appears to be highest where public services are least well integrated, coordinated and/or accessible. Pharmacy nurses report high levels of demand for their services, which they argue fill a number of gaps in the public provision of maternal and child health care including accessibility, continuity of carer, flexibility and convenient location. The concerns of pharmacy nurses include lack of privacy for consultations, limited capacity for client record keeping and follow up, and little opportunity for professional development, while GPs expressed concerns about inadequate public care and about the lack of regulation of pharmacy based care.Conclusions: Pharmacy based clinics are a market-driven response to gaps in the public provision of care. Currently there are no minimum standards or qualifications required of pharmacy nurses, no oversight or regulation of their practice, and no formal mechanisms for communicating with other providers of postnatal care. We discuss the implications and possible mechanisms to enhance best-practice care

Previous issue date: 1998Caracterizou-se os usos de palmeiras em uma área ribeirinha do estuário amazônico. A pesquisa foi realizada na Ilha do Cumbu, município do Acará, Estado do Pará, localizada a 1,5km de Belém por via fluvial. As informações foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas com moradores do local. Constatou-se 10 espécies com variados usos, porém a espécie Euterpe oleraceae Mart. é considerada a mais importante na alimentação, comercialização w fitoterapia popular. As demais espécies são utilizadas na alimentação artesanato, construções e coberturas de casas
Measurement of Prompt D-Meson Production in p-Pb Collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
The p(T)-differential production cross sections of the prompt charmed
mesons D-0, D+, D*(-), and D-s(+) and their charge conjugate in the
rapidity interval -0.96 < y(cms) < 0.04 were measured in p-Pb collisions
at a center-of-mass energy root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector
at the LHC. The nuclear modification factor R-pPb, quantifying the
D-meson yield in p-Pb collisions relative to the yield in pp collisions
scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, is compatible
within the 15%-20% uncertainties with unity in the transverse momentum
interval 1 < p(T) < 24 GeV/c. No significant difference among the R-pPb
of the four D-meson species is observed. The results are described
within uncertainties by theoretical calculations that include
initial-state effects. The measurement adds experimental evidence that
the modification of the momentum spectrum of D mesons observed in Pb-Pb
collisions with respect to pp collisions is due to strong final-state
effects induced by hot partonic matter
