Abstract	Terahertz vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful spectroscopic technique, providing valuable information regarding long-range interactions - and associated collective dynamics - occurring in solids. However, the terahertz sciences are relatively nascent, and there have been significant advances over the last several decades that have profoundly influenced the interpretation and assignment of experimental terahertz spectra. Specifically, because there do not exist any functional group or material-specific terahertz transitions, it is not possible to interpret experimental spectra without additional analysis, specifically, computational simulations. Over the years simulations utilizing periodic boundary conditions have proven to be most successful for reproducing experimental terahertz dynamics, due to the ability of the calculations to accurately take long-range forces into account. On the other hand, there are numerous reports in the literature that utilize gas phase cluster geometries, to varying levels of apparent success. This perspective will provide a concise introduction into the terahertz sciences, specifically terahertz spectroscopy, followed by an evaluation of gas phase and periodic simulations for the assignment of crystalline terahertz spectra, highlighting potential pitfalls and good practice for future endeavors.

Abstract	In this review, we investigate associations between time spent in the emergency department (ED) and patient reported outcomes. ED staff provide initial assessment, treatment and referral to patients presenting with an acute status to the hospital 24 h a day. ED length of stay, including ED boarding, and treatment received in the ED may affect patient outcomes. In this review we considered published studies that explored the association of ED length of stay of individuals of any age with their subsequent outcomes, including mortality and inpatient length of stay (IPLOS). Joanna Briggs Institute methods for systematic reviews of association were followed. Search strategies were developed to identify studies published in English since 2000 for inclusion. Two reviewers assessed the studies for inclusion and methodological quality and extracted data independently. In total, 34 studies were included in the review, including one case-control, one analytical cross-sectional, and 32 retrospective cohort studies, with a total sample size of 2,308,840 patients. Overall, there were variable associations of time spent in the ED and mortality, IPLOS, time-to-treatment and adverse events. However, findings indicated that older people are at risk for longer ED stays. They may also experience higher mortality. Specific focus should be placed upon elderly people in the ED, to reduce their exposure to the ED environment where possible and to implement focused initiatives that address their specific and complex treatment needs. We conclude that the diversity of individual settings and health systems will require locally defined and relevant solutions to locally identified issues.

Abstract	Background: Nurse-initiated interventions potentially provide an opportunity for earlier response for time sensitive presentations to the Emergency Department, and may improve time-to-treatment, symptomatic relief and patient flow through the department. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of nurse-initiated interventions on patient outcomes in the Emergency Department. Method: The review followed the JBI methodology for reviews of quantitative evidence. Each study was assessed by two independent reviewers and data were extracted from included papers using standardized data extraction tools. Outcomes of interest included time-to-treatment, relief of acute symptoms, waiting times and admission rates. Results: Twenty-six studies were included in the final review, with a total of 9144 participants. Nine were randomized control trials, 17 had a quasi-experimental design. Twelve of the studies involved pediatric patients only and 14 included adult patients only. Interventions, protocols and outcomes were heterogeneous across studies. Overall, nurse-initiated interventions were effective in reducing time-to-analgesia, time-to-treatment for acute respiratory distress as well as improved pain relief and decreased admission rates. Conclusion: To achieve early intervention and timely relief of acute symptoms, nurses should seek to consistently implement nurse-initiated interventions into their care of patients in the Emergency Department. Several findings are made to inform practice, however future high-quality research with locally specific strategies is required to improve certainty and quality of findings.

Abstract	Objective: To synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of multidisciplinary self-management interventions for glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes. Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease. Self-management education led by a multidisciplinary team facilitates those with diabetes to acquire the necessary knowledge and skillset to improve their outcomes and quality of life. Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies on people aged 16 years and over with type 1 diabetes, investigating the effectiveness of multidisciplinary self-management interventions. The primary outcome of interest is glycemic control as measured by glycated hemoglobin levels. Secondary outcomes include quality of life as measured by validated screening tools and adverse outcomes, such as number of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis events. Methods: This review will consider all quantitative study designs. Studies published in English since 2009 will be considered. MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), Embase (via embase.com), PsycINFO (via EBSCO) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in the Cochrane Register of Studies (via Cochrane Library) will be searched. Sources of unpublished studies and gray literature to be searched include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and Google Scholar. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers, with disagreements resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. Eligible studies will be critically appraised for methodological quality using standardized critical appraisal instruments from JBI. Data extraction and synthesis will follow methods outlined by JBI. Systematic review registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020170205.

Abstract	Background: Triage is the process by which emergency departments (EDs) sort patients presenting for medical treatment. The Australasian Triage Scale, validated to measure urgency, answers the question 'This patient should wait for medical assessment and treatment no longer than…' Multiple patients may present within short time frames, and some will have conditions that have outcomes directly related to timeliness of treatment such as stroke, sepsis and myocardial infarction. The safety of patients within the ED is thus directly related to the triage system. This project aimed to compare current triage practice within a metropolitan ED with evidence-based practice guidelines produced by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine and College of Emergency Nurses Australasia. Methods: The clinical audit project was undertaken in an ED in a large metropolitan hospital. Two hundred episodes of triage were audited, 100 in the preimplementation and 100 in the postimplementation phase. Current practice was compared with triage guidelines, barriers to adherence to evidence-based practice identified, and interventions were planned and implemented to address these. The audits of practice focused on five key areas and were assessed against 12 criteria: arrival and triage, documentation, compliance with policy, communication, and triage staff. Results: Overall five criteria showed improvement, with reassessment of patients waiting for treatment, and the time taken for each triage episode achieving the greatest amount of improvement. Four criteria showed no improvement or a decline, and two achieved 100% adherence in both audits. Discussion: The project sought to undertake a clinical audit of triage practice to evaluate the adherence of practice to evidence-based guidelines. The project has provided strong support for the implementation of a formal nursing role to support the care of waiting room patients, and act as a second triage nurse during periods of high activity. The physical triage environment has been identified as a barrier to optimal adherence to evidence-based practice guidelines. Using effective communication to manage the waiting experience of patients can have positive benefits for both patients and staff. What is known about the topic: WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE ADD.

Abstract	Background: Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are the most used invasive medical device in healthcare. Yet around half of insertion attempts are unsuccessful leading to delayed medical treatments and patient discomfort of harm. Ultrasound-guided PIVC (USGPIVC) insertion is an evidence-based intervention shown to improve insertion success especially in patients with Difficult IntraVenous Access (BMC Health Serv Res 22:220, 2022), however the implementation in some healthcare settings remains suboptimal. This study aims to co-design interventions that optimise ultrasound guided PIVC insertion in patients with DIVA, implement and evaluate these initiatives and develop scale up activities. Methods: A stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in three hospitals (two adult, one paediatric) in Queensland, Australia. The intervention will be rolled out across 12 distinct clusters (four per hospital). Intervention development will be guided by Michie's Behavior Change Wheel with the aim to increase local staff capability, opportunity, and motivation for appropriate, sustainable adoption of USGPIVC insertion. Eligible clusters include all wards or departments where > 10 PIVCs/week are typically inserted. All clusters will commence in the control (baseline) phase, then, one cluster per hospital will step up every two months, as feasible, to the implementation phase, where the intervention will be rolled out. Implementation strategies are tailored for each hospital by local investigators and advisory groups, through context assessments, staff surveys, and stakeholder interviews and informed by extensive consumer interviews and consultation. Outcome measures align with the RE-AIM framework including clinical-effectiveness outcomes (e.g., first-time PIVC insertion success for DIVA patients [primary outcome], number of insertion attempts); implementation outcomes (e.g., intervention fidelity, readiness assessment) and cost effectiveness outcomes. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research framework will be used to report the intervention as it was implemented; how people participated in and responded to the intervention; contextual influences and how the theory underpinning the intervention was realised and delivered at each site. A sustainability assessment will be undertaken at three- and six-months post intervention. Discussion: Study findings will help define systematic solutions to implement DIVA identification and escalation tools aiming to address consumer dissatisfaction with current PIVC insertion practices. Such actionable knowledge is critical for implementation of scale-up activities. Trial registration: Prospectively registered (Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry; ACTRN12621001497897).

Abstract	Purpose: Nurses provide care at each phase of the complex, perioperative pathway and are well placed to identify areas of care requiring investigation in randomized controlled trials. Yet, currently, the scope of nurse-led randomized controlled trials conducted within the perioperative setting are unknown. This scoping review aims to identify areas of perioperative care in which nurse-led randomized controlled trials have been conducted, to identify issues impacting upon the quality of these trials and identify gaps for future investigation. Methods: This scoping review was conducted in reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, with a date range of 2014-19. Sources of unpublished literature included Open Grey, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, Clinical Trials.gov and the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry. After title and abstract checking, full-text retrieval and data extraction, studies were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists for randomized controlled trials. Data were synthesized according to the main objectives. Key information was tabulated. Results: From the 86 included studies, key areas where nurses have led randomized controlled trials include patient or caregiver anxiety; postoperative pain relief; surgical site infection prevention: patient and caregiver knowledge; perioperative hypothermia prevention; postoperative nausea and vomiting; in addition to other diverse outcomes. Issues impacting upon quality (including poorly reported randomization), and gaps for future investigation (including a focus on vulnerable populations), are evident. Conclusion: Nurse-led randomized controlled trials in the perioperative setting have focused on key areas of perioperative care. Yet, opportunities exist for nurses to lead experimental research in other perioperative priority areas and within different populations that have been neglected, such as in the population of older adults undergoing surgery.

Abstract	Interactions between apex and mesopredators and their impacts on prey populations have been well documented, while the influence of apex predators such as lions on carrion availability and the subsequent impacts at lower trophic levels are not fully understood. Here we assess dietary overlap between two sympatric carnivores (brown hyaena, Parahyaena brunnea, and black-backed jackal, Canis mesomelas) in neighbouring reserves with and without apex predators (lions, Panthera leo, and wild dog, Lycaon pictus). We investigate whether apex predators facilitate niche partitioning between mesocarnivores by creating additional scavenging opportunities through predatory activity. We found that brown hyaena density was higher in the area with apex predators, while black-backed jackal density was higher in the area without apex predators. Black-backed jackal scats contained broadly similar dietary items at both sites, while large mammal remains occurred significantly more frequently in brown hyaena scats collected in the presence of apex predators. In the absence of apex predators there was a markedly higher degree of overlap between brown hyaena and jackal diets, suggesting increased levels of inter-specific competition. Our results suggest that apex predators potentially reduce levels of inter-specific competition for food between mesocarnivores by providing additional scavenging opportunities for specialist scavengers such as brown hyaena.
