ABSTRACT

Understanding the determinants influencing healthcare workers' (HCWs) behaviors is essential for promoting infection prevention and control (IPC) in Japanese nursing homes (NHs). This scoping review aimed to map IPC determinants in Japanese NHs using two behavior change frameworks and to identify research gaps. We conducted a scoping review using three databases, following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Reviewers independently screened reports, assessed eligibility, and extracted IPC behavior determinants. Extracted data were mapped and thematically analyzed using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation‐Behavior model. Of 1778 records identified, 22 reports published between 2006 and 2021 met the inclusion criteria. We codified 70 determinants and generated 15 themes. Most reports addressed barriers related to limited IPC knowledge, skills, resources, and systems. Facilitators were mainly codified within motivation‐related TDF domains, where an underexplored research gap was identified. Further research focusing on IPC motivation and a deeper understanding of NH contexts is important for developing context‐appropriate IPC promotion strategies. A participatory approach involving NH residents and HCWs may be helpful in future research.

OBJECTIVES: To map the barriers and facilitators influencing infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in nursing homes (NHs) from a behavior change perspective and to identify research gaps. DESIGN: Scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: NHs for older adults and health care workers in NHs. METHODS: We conducted database searches in March 2022 and updated them in November 2024, including additional sources from citation tracking and reference list checks. We analyzed barriers and facilitators using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model. RESULTS: Of 1591 identified records, 54 reports published between 2003 and 2024 met our inclusion criteria. The analysis identified 101 determinants (25 in Capability, 46 in Opportunity, and 30 in Motivation within the COM-B model) categorized into 36 categories and 16 themes as barriers and facilitators. The most frequently mentioned barriers were related to the "Environmental context and resources" domain of the TDF. Relatively few reports addressed the determinants of the TDF domain classified within the Motivation area of the COM-B model. Although many facilitators were identified in this area, including beliefs, intentions, and goals, they were coded based on limited descriptions. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This review provides a detailed mapping of the barriers and facilitators to IPC in NHs based on existing literature. It demonstrates the complexity of sustaining IPC practices, influenced by multiple determinants. Although Motivation may impact IPC adherence, its determinants remain insufficiently studied, indicating a research gap. Further research is needed to explore these determinants and understand how Motivation interacts with other factors in IPC implementation.

Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness 19 2025.3

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Cambridge University Press (CUP)

Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to explore the meaning of disaster readiness among health care professionals.

Methods

A systematic, integrative literature review was conducted on PubMed, Chinal plus with full text, Web of Science, PsychInfo, and Scopus. Quality appraisal was conducted using the CASP checklists.

Results

A total of 22 scientific articles were included. Disaster readiness, from the perspectives of health care professionals, was defined as having sufficient skills and confidence to respond, having access to the necessary equipment, being able to adapt to the changing environment and organizational structure, and being willing to serve in a disaster.

Conclusions

Disaster readiness is more than being prepared. Disaster readiness means moving beyond technical skills and knowledges to include personal mental preparedness and a willingness to confront the risks and take necessary precautions to stay safe and resilient in the efforts to help others. To enhance disaster readiness, preparations should include introducing elements that touch the soul, providing moral and personal motivation to serve in a disaster, and initiating thoughts on what such deployments or situations could be like for those affected as well as for health care professionals. How to enhance such trainings and develop effective training methods must be a focus for future studies.

Disaster-related deaths can be classified as direct and indirect disaster-related deaths that are becoming more predominant in Japan. To reduce indirect disaster-related deaths, accurate statistics based on medical documentation are essential. However, the definition and reporting of such deaths in Japan present systemic challenges. These deaths are certified and recorded by municipalities at the request of bereaved families seeking condolence grants. This cross-sectional study assessed 755 certified indirect disaster-related deaths after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake in the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, to determine whether medical documents mentioned disaster relevance. Of the 755 cases, 74 (9.8%) death certificates and 145 (19.2%) medical documents described the relevance of disasters. Relevance mentioned only in the self-reported documentation from bereaved families was 536 (71.0%). The median [interquartile range] time from the disaster onset to disaster-related deaths was 21 [7-52] days. The mean age was 79.7-years-old, and 346 (46.7%) of the victims were female. The predominant etiologies of these deaths included circulatory (32.7%) and respiratory (27.7%) diseases. The time periods of the deaths varied among the municipalities, suggesting a lack of consensus among the review committees. Establishing a medical and social consensus for indirect disaster-related deaths and recording them on death certificates is crucial for accurate disaster death data and social resilience.

ABSTRACT

Background:

There are approximately 872 certified nurse practitioners (NPs) in Japan as of April 2024. However, research on the results of their specific activities is still scarce.

Purpose:

This study aimed to compare health care outcomes before (i.e., 2019) and after (i.e., 2021) employing NPs in cardiovascular hospitals in Japan.

Methodology:

We conducted a retrospective chart review and analyzed 114 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in Hospital A and 381 patients who received pacemaker implantation/replacement in Hospital B. Hospital A hired one NP for cardiac surgery service, and Hospital B hired one NP for pacemaker device service. The NPs assisted in the surgical procedures and provided postsurgical management.

Results:

In Hospital A, the median length of hospitalization and intubation were shorter in 2021 than in 2019 (p = .02 and .01, respectively). In Hospital B, medical fee reimbursement was lower in 2021 (p < .001) than in 2019, and the median procedure duration was shorter (p = .01), which remained statistically significant after controlling for age, comorbidities, and device types. Some outcomes improved following the employment of NPs, whereas others remained unchanged.

Conclusions:

Nurse practitioners managed surgical patients well and contributed to the quality care of cardiovascular medicine.

Implications:

The employment of NPs in Japan is encouraged because even a single NP can have a positive, although not large, impact on patients and organizations.

Suicide prevention is a crucial policy issue in Japan to be addressed nationally. Nevertheless, if there are regional differences in suicide, even in adjacent sub-regions, measures may need to be taken at the sub-regional level. Previous studies have not compared regional differences in suicide based on the size of policy units, such as prefectures, secondary medical areas, and municipalities. This study used the number of suicides from open data for 10 years from 2009 to 2018 to obtain shrinkage estimates of the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) using the Bayesian hierarchical model. We visualized and compared the regional disparities in suicide for each policy unit. For each gender and policy unit, adjacent regions had similar clusters of SMRs and positive spatial autocorrelation of global Moran’s I (p < 0.001 for each). Comparisons between each policy unit showed that even if the SMR was low for the prefectural units, there were regions with high SMRs in municipalities and secondary medical areas, and vice versa. It was found that assessing suicide solely on a prefecture-by-prefecture basis may overlook regional disparities in suicide. This research emphasizes the need to establish suicide indicators at the secondary medical or municipal level and execute individual suicide prevention interventions in neighboring communities. Prefectures can also play a role in developing collaborative cooperation between neighboring regions by acting as actors.

Importance: Although the suicide rate in Japan increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, the reasons for suicide have yet to be comprehensively investigated. Objective: To assess which reasons for suicide had rates that exceeded the expected number of suicide deaths for that reason during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design, Setting, and Participants: This national, population-based cross-sectional study of data on suicides gathered by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare from January 2020 to May 2021 used a times-series analysis on the numbers of reason-identified suicides. Data of decedents were recorded by the National Police Agency and compiled by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. Exposure: For category analysis, we compared data from January 2020 to May 2021 with data from December 2014 to June 2020. For subcategory analysis, data from January 2020 to May 2021 were compared with data from January 2019 to June 2020. Main Outcomes and Measures: The main outcome was the monthly excess suicide rate, ie, the difference between the observed number of monthly suicide deaths and the upper bound of the 1-sided 95% CI for the expected number of suicide deaths in that month. Reasons for suicide were categorized into family, health, economy, work, relationships, school, and others, which were further divided into 52 subcategories. A quasi-Poisson regression model was used to estimate the expected number of monthly suicides. Individual regression models were used for each of the 7 categories, 52 subcategories, men, women, and both genders. Results: From the 29 938 suicides (9984 [33.3%] women; 1093 [3.7%] aged <20 years; 3147 [10.5%] aged >80 years), there were 21 027 reason-identified suicides (7415 [35.3%] women). For both genders, all categories indicated monthly excess suicide rates, except for school in men. October 2020 had the highest excess suicide rates for all cases (observed, 1577; upper bound of 95% CI for expected number of suicides, 1254; 25.8% greater). In men, the highest monthly excess suicide rate was 24.3% for the other category in August 2020 (observed, 87; upper bound of 95% CI for expected number, 70); in women, it was 85.7% for school in August 2020 (observed, 26; upper bound of 95% CI for expected number, 14). Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, observed suicides corresponding to all 7 categories of reasons exceeded the monthly estimates (based on data from before or during the COVID-19 pandemic), except for school-related reasons in men. This study can be used as a basis for developing intervention programs for suicide prevention.

Suicide is an extreme consequence of the psychological burden associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) counter-measures. A quasi-Poisson regression was applied to monthly suicide mortality data obtained from the National Police Agency to estimate the gender-specific excess/exiguous suicide deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan up to September 2020. We found excess suicide deaths among women in July, August and September, but not among men. Our results indicate the importance of COVID-19 related suicide prevention, especially for women. Timely access to mental health care and financial and social support is urgently needed, as is optimal treatment for mental illness.

We used administrative survey data (16402 responses in the last two weeks) using a chatbot on LINE, the most popular social networking service (SNS) in Japan, to show that people with COVID-19 patients in a close setting had higher psychological distress level than those without. We believe that the results indicate an urgent need to prioritize the establishment and implementation of mental health and psychosocial support tailored to family, close relatives, and friends of COVID-19 patients.

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Institute of Island Studies

Objective: To clarify the tacit knowledge of Japanese public-health nurses who administer culturally sensitive disaster nursing for small island communities. Design: Qualitative and inductive study. Sample: Eleven public-health nurses who provided disaster aid on one of six affected islands. Measurements: Semi-structured interviews, with qualitative analysis of data. Nursing actions that were based on consideration for islanders’ culture were categorized in terms of similarity. Results: Categories of culturally sensitive disaster nursing were identified for each disaster phase of the recovery process. These included confirming islanders’ safety and using existing interpersonal bonds to notify others (acute phase); assisting shelter management by facilitating the application of local rules and bonds (semi-acute phase); compensating for weakened neighbour-based relationships through public services (mid-term phase); and supporting the completion of necessary procedures by utilizing/adjusting islanders’ existing relationships with local government personnel (long-term phase). Cultural elements included interpersonal bonds and relationship, which emerged across phases. Conclusion: Public-health nurses should utilize culture not only to comfort islanders, but also to strengthen their sense of coherence and resilience as islander. They should also remember the nursing principle of compensating for a lack of self-care. To provide effective aid, the changes in cultural influences with recovery phases should be considered.

BACKGROUND: On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced an unprecedented combination of earthquake/tsunami/nuclear accidents (the Great East Japan Earthquake; GEJE). We sought to identify mental health and psychosocial consequences of this compound disaster. METHOD: A systematic literature review was conducted of quantitative research articles addressing mental health of survivors and the psychological impact of the GEJE. For articles between March 2011 and December 2014, PubMed, PsychINFO, and EMBASE databases were searched with guidance on literature review method. RESULTS: Forty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. A substantial proportion of the affected individuals experienced considerable psychological distress. Mental health outcomes included, but were not limited to, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Physical health changes, such as sleeping and eating disturbances, also occurred. In Fukushima, radioactive release induced massive fear and uncertainty in a large number of people, causing massive distress among the affected residents, especially among mothers of young children and nuclear plant workers. Stigma was additional challenge to the Fukushima residents. The review identified several groups with vulnerabilities, such as disaster workers, children, internally displaced people, patients with psychiatric disorders, and the bereaved. CONCLUSIONS: Following the GEJE, a considerable proportion of the population was mentally affected to a significant degree. The affected individuals showed a wide array of mental and physical consequences. In Fukushima, the impact of nuclear disaster was immense and complex, leading to fear of radiation, safety issues, and stigma issues.

The Emergency Department (ED) is a point of contact for victims of violence after an act of criminal activity has occurred. Hence, ED clinicians are in a key position to have a significant impact on both the medical and legal outcomes of the forensic patient population. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare forensic knowledge, practice, and experiences of ED nurses and physicians. Specific aims were to (1) describe experiences of nurses and physicians related to forensic practice; (2) compare clinical forensic knowledge and experience between nurses and physicians; and (3) describe forensic learning needs. This descriptive, correlational study utilized a survey questionnaire completed by 134 ED nurses and physicians. Results of the survey revealed no significant differences in the education, knowledge, and confidence with forensic patients between ED nurses and physicians.

Practice implications indicate that forensic education is needed and desired among ED nurses and physicians within the clinical setting. Further studie
