Emergency nurses ’ experience of providing care to patients who self-harm
Individuals who self-harm may present to emergency departments (EDs) for medical care. As first responders, emergency nurses can have a significant impact on the health outcomes of people who self-harm. This research explored emergency nurses' experiences of working with patients who self-harm. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

The importance of organizational variables in treatment time for patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction improve delays in STEMI
There are delays particularly in specific groups with atypical clinical presentations. Short training sessions aimed at emergency nurses correlate with shorter delay. This suggests that continuing training for emergency nurses, along with organizational strategies, can contribute to increasing the quality of care. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

Patient-Reported outcomes of pain care research in the adult emergency department: A scoping review
Despite more than 30 years of research, pain in the emergency department (ED) setting is frequently undertreated. EDs prioritise process measures that often have tenuous links to patient-reported outcomes. However, process measures, such as time to the administration of first analgesic medication, are neither direct objective measures of analgesia nor appropriate surrogate markers of pain relief. Since pain is a subjective symptom that lacks an objective measure, pain research in any clinical environment, including EDs, should rely upon patient-reported outcomes.

The impact of disasters on emergency department resources: review against the Sendai framework for disaster risk reduction 2015 –2030
Emergency departments (EDs) are often first to feel the intra-hospital effects of disasters. Compromised care standards during disasters eventuate from increased demands on health resources; the facilities, supplies, equipment and manpower imperative for a functioning healthcare facility. Emergency departments must understand the effect of disasters on their health resources. This paper examines the impact on resources within the ED as a result of a disaster and provides a review against the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction ’s Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 priorities.

The influence of nurse allocated triage category on the care of patients with sepsis in the emergency department: A retrospective review
‘Gold standard’ sepsis care encompasses the recognition and treatment of sepsis within one hour of emergency department (ED) presentation. Early treatment of patients with sepsis reduces mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the effect that the nurse allocated Australasian Triage Scale (ATS) Category allocation had on ED patient treatment for severe sepsis and septic shock.

Rising to the challenge: the emergency nursing response to COVID-19 in the Pacific
COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was first recognised by the World Health Organization in December 2019 and declared a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. To date, 25 million cases have been reported with more than 850,000 lives lost globally [1]. As the outbreak enters its ninth month, only supportive therapies are available, and a strong focus remains on reducing community transmission through physical distancing and travel restrictions [2].

Implementation evaluation of pre-hospital blood collection in regional Australia: a mixed methods study
In response to increasing emergency department presentations and wait times in Australia, multiple strategies and models of care have been implemented with varying results. One effective strategy has been the implementation of pre-hospital blood collection by paramedics when they insert an intravenous cannula. This research aims to determine the efficiency of and barriers to wider implementation of a pre-hospital blood collection trial in a regional context. In particular, to evaluate the impact of the pre-hospital blood collection on time to pathology results and error rates, and paramedic opinion. (Source: Australasian E...

Patient experience of non-conveyance following emergency ambulance service response: A scoping review of the literature
Evolution of ambulance service response models has resulted in significant numbers of patients not being conveyed to Emergency Departments. Prior research has attempted to measure patient-safety aspects of non-conveyance with inconclusive results. Several authors have recommended investigation of patient experience as an alternative metric. Understanding patient experience is acknowledged as a core requirement for design and evaluation of changes to healthcare delivery. However, it is unclear to what extent patient experience of non-conveyance is described in academic literature. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)
