BACKGROUND The successful recruitment and retention of health professionals to rural and remote areas of Australia is a health policy priority. Student undergraduate or graduate entry nursing or allied health learning placements in the Northern Territory of Australia (most of which is considered remote) may influence rural or remote work location decisions. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to determine where allied health professionals and nurses who have had a student placement/s in the Northern Territory of Australia end up practising. METHODS This research is an observational cohort study with a baseline data collection and then repeated annual data collection over 10 years (2017/18-2029). The baseline data collection is a demographic profile of allied health and nursing students and their evaluation of their NT placement using a nationally consistent questionnaire. Annual Work Location Surveys will track work location and the influences on work location decisions. RESULTS This study will generate unique data on the remote and rural work locations of nursing and allied health professional students who had a placement in the Northern Territory of Australia. It will be able to determine what are the most important characteristics of those who take up remote and rural employment (even if outside NT), and identify barriers to remote employment. CONCLUSIONS The study will add to the literature on rates of allied health and nursing professionals working in a remote or rural setting following remote or rural learning placements. The results will be of interest to government and remote health workforce planners. CLINICALTRIAL Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry number: ACTRN12620000797976

Rehabilitation Process

Cerebral palsy (CP) is known as the main developmental disability among infants and children. The brain injury is associated with pre or postnatal period. A physiotherapy is an effective tool of rehabilitation and restoration of the children with CP. Objectives: The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of the CP children. The main intention of this study was to examine the perception of parents and health professionals about the role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation process of CP children Methods: This study design is cross sectional and survey method was adopted and purposive sampling method was used for data collection. A Likert scale questionnaire was adopted for data collection from (n = 158) parents, (n = 14) allied health professionals, and (n = 3) physiotherapists of Bhakkar. It was hypothesized that physiotherapy has a significant role in the rehabilitation of CP children. An independent t-test and one-way ANOVA was applied for statistical analysis. Results and Conclusions: Results showed that physiotherapy plays a significant role in the rehabilitation (P < .00), and postural control (P <. 01) of CP children. The perception of the physiotherapists and allied health professionals were the same regarding the role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation (P <. 00), function independent and social participation (p < .00), postural control (P < .00) and motor function (P < .02) of the CP children. On the other hand, it was also concluded the regular physiotherapy increases rehabilitation process of CP children. The physiotherapists and allied health professional were satisfied with rehabilitation process. In contrast, the perception of parents was unsatisfactory because they desire the rehabilitate procedure should be shorter. It is suggested that physiotherapists and allied health professionals may educate the parents about the rehabilitation procedure.

Abstract Background Insecticides are currently the main tools used to reduce the transmission of malaria; therefore, the development of resistance to insecticides in malaria vectors is of major concern for malaria control. The resistance level to pyrethroids is particularly high in the Western region of Burkina Faso and may affect the efficacy of insecticidal bed nets and indoor residual spraying. Adult mosquito swarming and other nocturnal behaviours exhibit spatial and temporal patterns that suggest potential vulnerability to targeted space spraying with effective insecticides. Indeed, targeted space-spraying against adult mosquito swarms has been used to crash mosquito populations and disrupt malaria transmission. Methods Prior to impact assessment of swarm killing, a baseline data collection was conducted from June to November 2016 in 10 villages divided into two areas in western Burkina Faso. The data considered both ecological and demographic characteristics to monitor the key entomological parameters. Results The mean number of swarms observed was 35 per village, ranging from 25 to 70 swarms according to the village. Female density in both areas varied significantly as a function of the village and the period of collection. The human biting rate was significantly affected by the period of collection and depended upon whether the collection was carried out indoors or outdoors. Averages of parity rate were high in both areas for all periods of collection, ranging from 60 to 90%. These values ranged from 80 to 100% for inseminated females. Sporozoite rates ranged between 1.6 and 7.2% depending upon the village. The molecular identification of resting and swarming mosquitoes showed the presence of the three major malaria vectors in Burkina Faso, but in different proportions for each village. Conclusions The distribution of the potential swarm markers and swarms in villages suggested that swarms are clustered across space, making intervention easier. Power simulations showed that the direct sampling of swarms provides the highest statistical power, thereby reducing the number of villages needed for a trial.

Abstract Background The Onset PrevenTIon of urinary retention in Orthopaedic Nursing and rehabilitation, OPTION, project aims to progress knowledge translation vis-à-vis evidence-based bladder monitoring in orthopaedic care, to decrease the risk of urinary retention, and voiding complications. Urinary retention is common whilst in hospital for hip surgery. If not properly identified and managed, there is a high risk of complications, some lifelong and life threatening. Although evidence-based guidelines are available, the implementation is lagging. Methods Twenty orthopaedic sites are cluster randomised into intervention and control sites, respectively. The intervention sites assemble local facilitator teams among nursing and rehabilitation staff, including first-line managers. The teams receive a 12-month support programme, including face-to-face events and on-demand components to map and bridge barriers to guideline implementation, addressing leadership behaviours and de-implementation of unproductive routines. All sites have access to the guidelines via a public healthcare resource, but the control sites have no implementation support. Baseline data collection includes structured assessments of urinary retention procedures via patient records, comprising incidence and severity of voiding issues and complications, plus interviews with managers and staff, and surveys to all hip surgery patients with interviews across all sites. Further assessments of context include the Alberta Context Tool used with staff, the 4Ps tool for preference-based patient participation used with patients, and data on economic aspects of urinary bladder care. During the implementation intervention, all events are recorded, and the facilitators keep diaries. Post intervention, the equivalent data collections will be repeated twice, and further data will include experiences of the intervention and guideline implementation. Data will be analysed with statistical analyses, including comparisons before and after, and between intervention and control sites. The qualitative data are subjected to content analysis, and mixed methods are applied to inform both clinical outcomes and the process evaluation, corresponding to a hybrid design addressing effectiveness, experiences, and outcomes. Discussion The OPTION trial has a potential to account for barriers and enablers for guideline implementation in the orthopaedic context in general and hip surgery care in particular. Further, it may progress the understanding of implementation leadership by dyads of facilitators and first-line managers. Trial registration The study was registered as NCT04700969 with the U.S. National Institutes of Health Clinical Trials Registry on 8 January 2021, that is, prior to the baseline data collection.
