The creation of the safety culture coordinator role within an Australian Local Health District followed a critical incident in one of its emergency departments. As part of the role, it was important to have an understanding of how nurses viewed the term safety culture in order to support them in implementing any changes that would influence their everyday practice.

However, little is known about the discharge practices or processesn undertaken by emergency clinicians. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the experience and perceptions of managing ED patient discharge by clinicians. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

Using clinical based vignettes to further develop a mass gathering event triage tool
Previously published triage tools for use at mass gathering events (MGE) lack real-world validation. Non-health care professionals, such as first aiders, first responders, and advanced responders often undertake a triage role at MGEs. This research aimed to determine consistency in the decision-making of a MGE triage tool. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

Frontline barriers to effective paramedic and emergency nursing STEMI management: clinician perspectives
Factors that hinder the pivotal role frontline clinicians play in STEMI management are under-reported. We aimed to explore perceived barriers to effective STEMI management by addressing the following questions:1. What are the most commonly occurring barriers to timely STEMI management for paramedics and emergency nurses?2. Are there differences in barriers experienced by paramedics and emergency nurses?3. Are there differences in barriers experienced by frontline clinicians in rural and metropolitan settings? (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

Emergency nurses ’ experience of adult basic and advanced life support workstations as a support strategy for clinical practice in the emergency department
Standards endorsed by the Australian Resuscitation Council in 2014 recommend that healthcare providers trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation should have their skills refreshed at least annually and for those who infrequently perform resuscitation, more frequent refresher training is advised. Emergency nurses were given the opportunity to attend workstations to refresh their knowledge and skills essential to resuscitation practice. The aim of this manuscript was to report the perception of the nurses ’ experience following attendance at the workstations. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)

Enablers of, and barriers to, optimal glove and mask use for routine care in the emergency department: an ethnographic study of Australian clinicians
The risk of healthcare-acquired infection increases during outbreaks of novel infectious diseases. Emergency department (ED) clinicians are at high risk of exposure to both these and common communicable diseases. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended to protect clinicians from acquiring, or becoming vectors of, infection, yet compliance is typically sub-optimal. Little is known about factors that influence use of PPE —specifically gloves and masks—during routine care in the ED. (Source: Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal)
