Authors: de Waal André , Burrell Jennifer , Drake Sarah , Sampa Chilufya , Mulimbika Tobias 
Published: February 2022

PurposeIn the past decades, there has been much research into ways organizations canbecomehigh-performing. Research into ways organizations canstayhigh-performing, especially in challenging times, is much less prevalent. The purpose of this study is to look at ways that high-performance organizations (HPOs) use in practice to stay high-performing.Design/methodology/approachThe approach of this study consisted of a qualitative matching of the theoretical ways organizations can foster organizational grit – strengthen stamina and resilience of employees to keep achieving results and to persevere in the face of setbacks – with the empirical ways three case organizations in practice used to stay high-performing.FindingsThe literature review yielded 9 ways to foster organizational grit, while the empirical research provided 12 ways HPOs used to stay high-performing. What the literature highlighted was matched in such a way that these practical ways to stay high-performing can be understood as solutions/alternatives with which to foster grit in the organization in a practical manner.Originality/valueHPOs are quite rare and being able to follow them closely for a prolonged period of time is even more unique. Therefore, this study can be seen as adding a unique piece to the puzzle of how to stay HPO and how organizational grit can be fostered and strengthened.
Assessing the quality of faculty-delivered individual academic advising
Authors: Springer Mark Christopher , Tyran Craig K. 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
This study aims to describe the development and validation of a student survey instrument to assess academic advising services. The instrument was based on the SERVQUAL scale, a well-known instrument for service quality.

Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative methodology was used. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a survey instrument adapted from SERVQUAL. Survey responses were collected from 457 students at a large public university in the USA. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to validate and develop the assessment instrument.

Findings
A validated assessment scale for academic advising services was generated, which consists of three distinct advising service dimensions: information resources, reliability and empathy. For the study participants, information resources and empathy were found to significantly influence satisfaction with advising.

Practical implications
This study describes the development and validation of a concise nine-item survey instrument that may be used by practitioners to evaluate three distinct dimensions of advising service quality: information resources, reliability and empathy.

Originality/value
This research develops and validates a survey instrument to assess academic advising services based on the SERVQUAL scale using structural equation modeling.
Place of alcohol in the ‘wellness toolkits’ of midlife women in different social classes: A qualitative study in South Australia

Published: February 2022

AbstractIn this article, we explore how women in different social classes had differential access to resources and services to enhance their ‘wellness’—resulting in classed roles in alcohol consumption. We analyse data from a qualitative study on alcohol by midlife women in South Australia and employ the analogy of a ‘toolkit’ in order to understand the structural patterning of ‘wellness tools’. Bourdieu's relational model of class guides our exploration of women's inequitable opportunities for wellness. Higher social class women had ‘choices’ facilitated by bulging wellness toolkits, such as yoga, exercise and healthy eating regimens—alcohol consumption was not essential to promoting ‘wellness’ and did not have an important place in their toolkits. Middle‐class women had less well‐stocked toolkits and consumed alcohol in a ‘compensation approach’ with other wellness tools. Alcohol consumption received positive recognition and was a legitimised form of enjoyment, fun and socialising, which needed counterbalancing with healthy activities. Working‐class women had sparse toolkits—other than alcohol—which was a tool for dealing with life's difficulties. Their focus was less on ‘promoting wellness’ and more on ‘managing challenging circumstances’. Our social class‐based analysis is nestled within the sociology of consumption and sociological critiques of the wellness industry.

Published: February 2022

AbstractThis case study reports the advantages of micro‐CT to aid the investigative process in a complex dismemberment case. Micro‐CT was successfully implemented to scan all skeletal remains of a dismembered female. The digital models were utilized to (i) screen for any further injuries not related to the dismemberment, (ii) provide measurements from false starts non‐destructively, and (iii) visually represent the evidence in a structured format in court to improve the understanding of the forensic evidence by the jury. Acquiring high‐resolution scans in this manner improved the efficiency of the forensic investigation by screening the remains and provided complementary toolmark evidence to the investigating team and forensic pathologist. A total of 14 false starts were identified along with the directionality of each dismemberment cut. Furthermore, the visual 3D representation of the remains in court provided a powerful tool to communicate this important evidence to the jury and form a prosecution narrative. As a forensic radiological method, micro‐CT provided valuable information both in the investigation and the court presentation.
Information disclosure in dynamic research contests
Authors: Chen Bo , Chen Bo , Knyazev Dmitriy 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWe study information disclosure in a dynamic multi‐agent research contest, where each agent privately searches for innovations and submits his best to compete for a winner‐takes‐all prize (Taylor, 1995). Different disclosure policies on the agents' submissions induce different equilibrium behavior, making the design of disclosure a useful instrument for contest sponsors. We analyze and compare various information disclosure policies in the contest with finite or infinite horizons. With an endogenously chosen prize, the public disclosure policy, where submissions are revealed immediately, implements the sponsor's first‐best research plan and is an optimal policy in the infinite horizon.

AbstractBackgroundPostoperative cognitive dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery. Postoperative measurements of brain injury biomarkers may identify brain damage and predict cognitive dysfunction. We describe the release patterns of five brain injury markers in serum and plasma after uncomplicated cardiac surgery.MethodsSixty‐one elective cardiac surgery patients were randomized to undergo surgery with either a dextran‐based prime or a crystalloid prime. Blood samples were taken immediately before surgery, and 2 and 24 h after surgery. Concentrations of the brain injury biomarkers S100B, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), tau, neurofilament light (NfL) and neuron‐specific enolase (NSE)) and the blood–brain barrier injury marker β‐trace protein were analyzed. Concentrations of brain injury biomarkers were correlated to patients’ age, operation time, and degree of hemolysis.ResultsNo significant difference in brain injury biomarkers was observed between the prime groups. All brain injury biomarkers increased significantly after surgery (tau +456% (25th–75th percentile 327%−702%), NfL +57% (28%−87%), S100B +1145% (783%−2158%), GFAP +17% (−3%−43%), NSE +168% (106%−228%), while β‐trace protein was reduced (−11% (−17−3%). Tau, S100B, and NSE peaked at 2h, NfL and GFAP at 24 h. Postoperative concentrations of brain injury markers correlated to age, operation time, and/or hemolysis.ConclusionUncomplicated cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with an increase in serum/plasma levels of all the studied injury markers, without signs of blood–brain barrier injury. The biomarkers differ markedly in their levels of release and time course. Further investigations are required to study associations between perioperative release of biomarkers, postoperative cognitive function and clinical outcome.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundLaparostomy or Open Abdomen (OA) has matured into an effective strategy in the management of abdominal catastrophe. Single prognostic factors have been identified in a previous systematic review regarding entero‐atmospheric fistula (EAF). Unfortunately, no prognostic multivariable model for EAF exist. The aim was to develop and validate a multivariable prediction model from a retrospective cohort study involving three hospital's databases.MethodsFifty‐seven variables were evaluated to develop a multivariable model. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed for on a developmental data set from two hospitals. Receiver operator characteristics analysis with area under the curve (AUC) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were performed on the developmental data set (internal validation) as well as on an additional validation data set from another hospital (external validation).ResultsFive‐hundred and forty‐eight patients managed with an OA. Two variables remained in the multivariable prediction model for EAF. The AUC for EAF on internal validation were 0.74 (95% CI: 0.58–0.86) and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.67–0.92) on external validation.ConclusionsA multivariable prediction model for EAF was externally validated and an easy‐to‐use probability nomogram was constructed using the two predictor variables.Level of evidence: III; prognostic.
Informed consent: perceptions and practice of orthopaedic trainees
Authors: Atkin Jodie , Incoll Ian W. , Owen John , Conyard Chris 
Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of informed consent is to provide patients with adequate information about a proposed plan or intervention, including the benefits and risks, so that they can make an informed decision about their medical treatment. The literature suggests that trainees are often delegated the task of obtaining consent with inadequate knowledge, skill or experience.The aim of this study is to determine the extent orthopaedic surgical trainees have been exposed to education about the informed consent, their perceived ability to obtain consent effectively and the frequency with which they routinely address elements of the process when consenting patients.MethodsAn eight‐item questionnaire assessing trainees' experience with informed consent was distributed to trainees undertaking Australian orthopaedic surgery training in 2019.ResultsOf the 239 trainees, 102 completed the questionnaire. Although 99% of trainees were confident that they can obtain valid consent from patients, when asked about aspects of the process, many trainees do not address them. Only 29% of trainees always ask patients about goals of care and 21% always advise the patient of who will be performing the procedure. Trainees who indicated that they had received education on informed consent during surgical training are significantly more likely to address key elements.ConclusionTrainees' perceptions of their knowledge and skill in relation to informed consent does not align with their reported practice. Although the majority of trainees had received some education on informed consent, greater emphasis on explicit teaching and formal assessment should be undertaken during surgical training, prior to trainees completing this activity independently.

Published: February 2022

AbstractPurposeThe aim of this study was to review the available scientific literature on the possible relationship between the visual system and motor development in children.MethodsThis study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement recommendations. The review protocol is available in PROSPERO (CRD42021245341). Four different databases, namely Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science, were assessed from April 2005 to February 2021. To determine the quality of the articles, we used the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) Quality Appraisal Scale, and a protocol was followed to define the levels of evidence on the basis of the Centre for Evidence‐Based Medicine Levels of Evidence. The search strategy included terms describing motor development in children and adolescents with visual disorders.ResultsAmong the identified studies, 23 were included in the study. All selected articles examined the relationship between the visual system and development in children. The quality of most of the studies was moderate–high, and they were between evidence levels 2 and 4.ConclusionsOur systematic review revealed that all included studies established a relationship between the visual system and development in children. However, the methods for measuring the visual system and motor skills lacked uniformity.

AbstractBackgroundTo describe the interventions that were implemented at a Tertiary University Hospital and how they affected the rate of cesarean birth (CB) and main obstetrics and neonatal outcomes.Study designAn analysis of the contemporaneously collected data from all deliveries that occurred from 2014 to 2018. Major obstetric and neonatal outcomes were analyzed and grouped according to the Ten‐Group Classification System (TGCS).ResultsA significant decrease in CB rates, from 28.4% to 23.0% (P < 0.001), was found over the study period. Although the relative sizes of both nulliparous (groups 1 + 2) and multiparous (groups 3 + 4) women remained stable over the study period, a significantly higher incidence of CB was reported in 2014 for both groups, compared with 2018 (2.6% vs. 13.0%, P < 0.001 for nulliparous women and 7.5% vs. 3.3%, P < 0.001 for multiparous women). In contrast, the relative size of Group 5 was significantly lower in 2014 than in 2018 (9.9% vs. 11.5%, P = 0.003), but a 13.3% reduction in CB was also reported for this group. No significant differences were noted in the occurrence of major obstetrics and neonatal outcomes that were reported.ConclusionsA reduction in CB rate may be safely achieved through implementing a multifaceted strategy.

Published: February 2022

ObjectivesA randomized controlled trial of a new type of Physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT), found that it improved functioning in people with chronic low back pain compared to usual physiotherapy care. Fidelity evaluation is necessary to understand trial processes and outcomes. This study evaluated PACT treatment fidelity including delivery, receipt, and enactment.DesignA mixed‐methods study nested within a randomized controlled trial was conducted.MethodsA total of 72 (20% of total) PACT treatment audio files were independently assessed by two raters, according to a novel framework developed to measure PACT treatment content adherence, therapeutic alliance, ACT competence, and treatment enactment. Interview transcripts from 19 trial participants randomized to PACT were analysed thematically for evidence of treatment receipt and enactment.ResultsPACT physiotherapists delivered treatment as intended with high content adherence and satisfactory therapeutic alliance, but ACT competence was low. Qualitative findings indicated participant receipt of 11/17 and enactment of 3/17 components; 89% (n = 17) and 47% (n = 9) of participants reported treatment receipt and enactment of at least one component, respectively.ConclusionsThis mixed‐methods study of PACT treatment demonstrated high fidelity reflecting treatment content delivery and receipt, and therapeutic alliance. There was some evidence of treatment enactment in participants with chronic low back pain. Low ACT competence could be addressed through additional support and adaptations to therapeutic processes for delivery by physiotherapists.
The relationship between illness identity and the self‐management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Peters Louisa Anne , Brown Emma Marie 
Published: February 2022

ObjectivesThe psychological impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) can be profound, leading to challenges with illness self‐management. One such impact can be an identity discrepancy, where illness identity is rejected as part of the self. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between illness identity and self‐management of IBD.DesignA mixed‐methods approach was taken using an online survey with 167 participants living with IBD.MethodsThe Illness Identity Questionnaire and Patient Activation Measure were utilized to ascertain the correlational relationship between illness identity and self‐management, triangulated with a thematic analysis of two open‐ended questions on this topic.ResultsThe results revealed a statistically significant relationship after controlling for possible confounders of age, illness duration, illness severity, and number of comorbidities. Positive illness identity types (acceptance and enrichment) had a moderate, positive correlation with self‐management. Negative identity types (rejection and engulfment) had a weak, negative correlation. This was supported by three main themes found from a thematic analysis and provided further insight into this relationship. Theme 1: negotiating with self as a process of acceptance; Theme 2: resigned acceptance that protects sense of self; and Theme 3: Self‐management expands from behavioural strategies to psychological processes through acceptance.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the more illness is accepted into a sense of self, the better an individual is able to self‐manage IBD as more psychological resources are activated. These findings provide individuals and clinicians alike insight into utilizing identity change to improve the overall self‐management of IBD.

AbstractObjectiveParathyroid Carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Parathyroid carcinomas are characterized by markedly elevated levels of PTH, severe hypercalcemia and established target organ damage. The authors report the experience of a single centre regarding the management and outcome of patients with parathyroid carcinomas and revise relevant literature.DesignRetrospective review of all patients with parathyroid carcinoma evaluated at a tertiary oncologic centre from 1991 until 2021.ResultsSeventeen patients were identified (10 males), with a mean age at diagnosis of 53 ± 16 years and a median follow‐up of 16.5 years. Most patients presented with hypercalcemia (n = 15), with a mean serum calcium concentration of 13.5 mg/dl (9.6–16.5) and mean PTH of 1173 pg/ml (276–2500). Hyperparathyroidism‐mediated organ damage was observed in most patients (n = 16), with predominant renal (n = 12) and skeletal (n = 9) complications. En bloc surgical resection was performed in nine patients. Three patients underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. Recurrence was observed in 8 cases (47.1%) after a median of 24 months following surgery and no independent predictors of recurrence were identified. The overall survival and disease specific survival at 5‐year was 88% and 94%, respectively. CDC73 mutations were present in 38.5% of analysed patients and one patient was diagnosed with MEN1.ConclusionParathyroid carcinoma is associated with a significant rate of recurrence and limited effective treatment beyond initial complete surgical resection. Therefore, preoperatively high index of suspicion is paramount to optimize patient care. This is, to our knowledge, the largest Portuguese cohort published so far.

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimGuidelines benefit patients and clinicians by distilling evidence into easy‐to‐read recommendations. The literature around the management of haemorrhoids is immense and guidelines are invaluable to improve treatment integrity and patient outcomes. We identified current haemorrhoid guidelines and assessed them for quality and consistency.MethodsA systematic search of the literature from January 2011 to October 2021 was carried out. Guidelines identified were assessed for quality using the AGREE II instrument and for consistency in terms of tabulated treatment recommendations.ResultsDuring this period nine guidelines were identified worldwide. The general quality was poor with only one guideline considered of high enough quality for use. In general, expert selection criteria for guideline development groups were vaguely defined. There were inconsistencies in the interpretation of the published evidence leading to variation in treatment recommendations.DiscussionFewer, higher quality guidelines, with more consistent results, are needed. Particular attention should be given to defining the selection of experts involved.
