    Abstract Background: Concussions are a significant health issue for children and youth. After a concussion diagnosis, follow-up visits with a health care provider are important for reassessment, continued management, and further education.
    Objective: This review aimed to synthesize and analyse the current state of the literature on follow-up visits of children with a concussive injury and examine the factors associated with follow-up visits.
    Methods: An integrative review was conducted based on Whittemore and Knafl's framework. Databases searched included PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar.
    Results: Twenty-four articles were reviewed. We identified follow-up visit rates, timing to a first follow-up visit, and factors associated with follow-up visits as common themes. Follow-up visit rates ranged widely, from 13.2 to 99.5%, but time to the first follow-up visit was only reported in eight studies. Three types of factors were associated with attending a follow-up visit: injury-related factors, individual factors, and health service factors.
    Conclusion: Concussed children and youth have varying rates of follow-up care after an initial concussion diagnosis, with little known about the timing of this visit. Diverse factors are associated with the first follow-up visit. Further research on follow-up visits after a concussion in this population is warranted.

    Abstract Problem: Sickle cell crises (SCC) are recurrent, severe pain episodes experienced by people living with sickle cell disease (SCD). Non-pharmacological interventions have been recommended for SCC pain management however, little is known about the impact of these interventions on SCC pain. This scoping review aims to systematically identify evidence on the use and effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for pain management during SCC in the pediatric population.
    Eligibility criteria: Studies were eligible if they are published in English and focusing on the use of any non-pharmacological interventions on pain during SCC in pediatric patients. Nine databases were searched including Medline, CINAHL and PsychInfo. Also, the reference lists of relevant studies were searched.
    Sample: The database searching yielded 1517 studies. After the title and abstract screening, 1348 studies were excluded, and 169 full texts were retrieved and screened. One study was identified through handsearching. Finally, 27 articles were included in this scoping review.
    Results: Across all studies, 27 different non-pharmacological interventions were identified. There were inconsistent results regarding the effectiveness of virtual reality, guided imagery, and cognitive-behavioral interventions in experimental studies. The most common interventions used at home were prayer, massage, and distraction. The main interventions used in hospitals were prayer and fluid intake, but this was explored by a few studies.
    Conclusion: Pediatric SCD patients use numerous non-pharmacological interventions to manage pain during SCC. However, the impact of many interventions on SCC pain has not been empirically investigated.
    Implications: Further research is necessary to establish the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions on SCC pain.

    Abstract Background: Patient-oriented research involves extensive collaboration with patients, their families, caregivers, clinicians and other relevant stakeholders to identify and investigate problems and outcomes relevant to patients. Patient-oriented research can help develop effective patient-centred interventions. Patient-oriented research is an increasingly used approach in high-income countries, but it is unclear how patients are engaged in research in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
    Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to explore how patient-oriented research is conducted in LMICs. The objectives were to determine the levels of involvement of patients in the research, how studies have impacted healthcare and patient outcomes in these countries, the reported benefits of patient-oriented research on the research process and the reported challenges of conducting patient-oriented research in LMICs.
    Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O'Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for conducting scoping reviews. The eligibility criteria were any healthcare research using any research design that involved patients of any age group in the research process. Six databases were searched from their inception till January 4, 2022: MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsychInfo, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and EBM Reviews. The reference lists of relevant articles and Google Scholar were combed as well. Data extraction was performed with a self-developed data extraction guide. The findings were narratively summarised.
    Results: Thirteen articles were included in this scoping review, representing eight LMICs in Africa and Asia. The majority of studies (38%, n = 5) focused on patients living with human immunodeficiency virus. More than half of the studies (n = 8, 62%) were conducted in the adult population, 31% (n = 4) of the studies involved children and/or adolescents. For most of the studies (92%, n = 12), the participants served as consultants; for one study, the authors identified the participants as co-researchers. Across the studies, information regarding patient-oriented research activities was not consistently reported in the same manner (i.e. different locations in the article), with very limited information in some cases. None of the studies used a patient-oriented research framework and the majority did not report on how patient-oriented research impacted healthcare and patient outcomes. Patient-oriented research was beneficial in identifying relevant patients' needs and improving collaboration among stakeholders, but it also led to extended research timelines and increased financial costs for the researchers and patients.
    Conclusions: Researchers in LMICs are incorporating patient-oriented research in their research; however, there is a need for improved reporting practices in published articles, and the use of frameworks to guide patient-oriented research in LMICs. In LMICs, patient-oriented research enhances collaboration across stakeholders and gives patients a sense of ownership over the interventions and research process. Future work should focus on developing contextually relevant conceptual frameworks and further studies should explore the impact of patient-oriented research on healthcare and patient outcomes in the LMIC context.

    Abstract Introduction: We developed a novel device, Calmer, that mimics key components of skin-to-skin holding to reduce stress in preterm infants. Our feasibility trial showed that Calmer worked 50% better than no treatment and no differently from our standard of care, facilitated tucking (FT), for reducing pain scores during a heel lance in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.
    Objective: We compared the effects of Calmer on regional cerebral hemodynamic activity during a noxious stimulation to FT.
    Methods: During a clinically required heel lance, we measured frontal cortex tissue oxygenation in a subsample of 29 preterm infants (27-33 weeks gestational age) from our larger randomized controlled trial. Infants were randomized to either FT (n = 16) or Calmer treatment (n = 12). The outcome measure, obtained using near-infrared spectroscopy, was a change in the tissue oxygenation index (TSI) across study phases (Baseline, Heel Lance, Recovery; median duration 517 seconds [421-906 seconds]).
    Results: No statistically significant differences were found between groups in the median TSI during any of the study phases. In response to the heel lance, 7 infants (27.6%) had a TSI that dipped below the 60% threshold (3 in the Calmer group 25% and 4 in the FT group 25%); none below 50%.
    Conclusions: Infants on Calmer maintained normal regional cerebral oxygen levels (55%-85%) no differently from infants receiving a human touch intervention during blood collection. Parental skin-to-skin holding is one of the most effective strategies to relieve procedural pain in preterm infants. When parents or FT are not available, Calmer shows potential for filling this gap in care.

    Abstract Background: The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay following the birth of a preterm infant can be stressful and traumatic for families. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NICU environment changed precipitously as infection control and visitor restriction measures were implemented.
    Purpose: Our study aimed to examine the impact of the pandemic policies on the experiences of mothers of preterm infants during their stay in the NICU.
    Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in a Canadian tertiary-level NICU. Informed by interpretive description methodology, interview content was transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The identified themes were validated, clarified, or refined using investigator triangulation.
    Results: Nine English-speaking mothers, aged 28 to 40 years, were interviewed. Four themes emerged from the analysis of their experiences: (1) disrupted family dynamic, support, and bonding; (2) physical and emotional isolation; (3) negative psychological impact compounded by added concerns, maternal role change, and survival mode mentality; and (4) positive aspects of the pandemic management measures.
    Implications for practice: During the pandemic, the way that care was provided in the NICU changed. This study helps to explore how neonatal clinicians can foster individual and organizational resilience to keep patients and families at the center of care, even when the healthcare system is under intense stress.
    Implications for research: : Our results show that these changes heightened mothers' distress, but also had a modest positive impact. Further research about long-term consequences of pandemic policies on the mother and preterm infant after NICU discharge is warranted.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has globally impacted nursing education, particularly clinical learning opportunities for undergraduate nursing students.
    Purpose: In this paper, we report on an educational activity wherein students participated in a COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) clinic on a Canadian university campus.
    Methods: Between February-April 2021, in the second term of a five-term accelerated program, nursing students (n = 60) participated in a nurse-led COVID-19 RAT clinic for students and staff living or working in congregate housing. Students participated in education activities which exposed nursing students to the full range of community health nursing roles in a pandemic.
    Results: From clinical, research, policy, and public health, this educational activity acted as a microcosm of the critical roles that nurses employ in the health ecosystem.
    Conclusion: We offer lessons learned about implementing this activity, and how these lessons can be applied to routine and exceptional nursing curriculum.

    Abstract Intravenous (IV) infiltration is a common problem associated with IV infusion therapy in clinical practice. A multitude of factors can cause the leakage of IV fluids into the surrounding tissues, resulting in symptoms ranging from temporary swelling to permanent tissue damage. Severe infiltration outcomes can be avoided or minimized if the patient's care provider is alerted of the infiltration at its earliest onset. However, there is a lack of real-time, continuous infiltration monitoring solutions, especially those suited for clinical use for critically ill patients. Our design of the sensor-integrated ATTENTIV catheter allows direct detection of catheter dislodgement, a root cause of IV infiltration. We verify two detection methods: blood-tissue differentiation with a support vector machine and signal peak identification with a thresholding algorithm. We present promising preliminary testing results on biological and phantom models that utilize bioimpedance as the sensing modality. Clinical relevance- The sensor-embedded ATTENTIV catheter demonstrates potential to automate IV infiltration detection in lieu of using traditional infusion catheters and manual detection methods.

    Abstract Learning objectives: On completion of this presentation, participant should be able to: Understand the feasibility of RAT for SARS-CoV-2 screening in primary care Understand the role of RAT for SARS-CoV-2 screening in prevention of COVID-19 transmission in community Context: The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed human interactions worldwide. At least half of COVID-19 transmissions could originate from asymptomatic individuals. Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) with nasal sampling at the point of care is inexpensive, fast and less invasive than PCR testing. Objective: The overall study objective was to examine the feasibility of point-of-care RAT for detecting SARS-CoV-2 amongst an asymptomatic population living in congregate housing. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: This study was conducted at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Approximately 1500 undergraduate student were at the study site during February-April 2021. Population: Students living in UBC housing and staff working in the UBC housing sites were eligible. People testing positive for COVID-19 in the prior 90 days were excluded from the study. Intervention: The BD Veritor testing kit was used to test bilateral nasal specimens. Results were ready by the small BD Veritor reader. Outcome measures: Experiences of surveyed participants completing RAT. The survey was conducted during the last three weeks the site was open. Results: A total of 223 participants consisting of 134 (60%) females and 89 (40%) males completed the survey for a 37% response rate. Participants were mainly of European descent (45%), though there were East Asians (18%), African/ Caribbean (5%) and Indigenous (3%) people who also completed the survey. Almost all (98%) reported that RAT was acceptable/very acceptable and 97% would take another test. Participants believed they would test negative given their careful observation of public health measures such as hand washing, mask wearing and restricting contacts to their small "bubble". Their expectation of testing negative was based on having no or minimal interactions with any person who had tested positive. More than two thirds of participants reported RAT provide them peace of mind and reduced anxiety levels. Participants found the RAT to be safe, easy, accessible and rapid. Conclusions: Rapid antigen testing for detecting COVID-19 is well accepted and could support the detection of infection at an early stage amongst asymptomatic individuals while easing their worries.
