“…Independent scrutiny of the titles and abstracts by two authors (JW; ZT) identified 119 potentially relevant articles. Of those, we excluded an additional 59 studies because they failed to meet the methodological definition of systematic review as per our inclusion criteria . Therefore, a total of 60 systematic reviews formed the basis of this study …”

The methodological and reporting quality of burn-specific systematic reviews has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodological quality of systematic reviews in burn care management. Computerised searches were performed in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE and The Cochrane Library through to February 2016 for systematic reviews relevant to burn care using medical subject and free-text terms such as 'burn', 'systematic review' or 'meta-analysis'. Additional studies were identified by hand-searching five discipline-specific journals. Two authors independently screened papers, extracted and evaluated methodological quality using the 11-item A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool and reporting quality using the 27-item Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Characteristics of systematic reviews associated with methodological and reporting quality were identified. Descriptive statistics and linear regression identified features associated with improved methodological quality. A total of 60 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. Six of the 11 AMSTAR items reporting on 'a priori' design, duplicate study selection, grey literature, included/excluded studies, publication bias and conflict of interest were reported in less than 50% of the systematic reviews. Of the 27 items listed for PRISMA, 13 items reporting on introduction, methods, results and the discussion were addressed in less than 50% of systematic reviews. Multivariable analyses showed that systematic reviews associated with higher methodological or reporting quality incorporated a meta-analysis (AMSTAR regression coefficient 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.1; PRISMA regression coefficient 6·3; 95% CI: 3·8, 8·7) were published in the Cochrane library (AMSTAR regression coefficient 2·9; 95% CI: 1·6, 4·2; PRISMA regression coefficient 6·1; 95% CI: 3·1, 9·2) and included a randomised control trial (AMSTAR regression coefficient 1·4; 95%CI: 0·4, 2·4; PRISMA regression coefficient 3·4; 95% CI: 0·9, 5·8). The methodological and reporting quality of systematic reviews in burn care requires further improvement with stricter adherence by authors to the PRISMA checklist and AMSTAR tool.

“…Reviewing literature on effective CPD approaches, we chose to use preceptorships. This approach has been widely used in nursing [ 29 – 32 ] and it combines characteristics known to maximise practice change (multiple, small group interactive sessions in a health care environment) and improve health outcomes by enhancing provider self-confidence and competency [ 33 – 36 ]. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention combining clinical obesity preceptorship with electronic networking tools.…”

Impact of an educational intervention combining clinical obesity preceptorship with electronic networking tools on primary care professionals: a prospective study

Background Primary care providers’ (PCPs) attitude toward obesity is often negative, and their confidence level for helping patients manage their weight is low. Continuing professional development (CPD) on the subject of obesity is often based on a single activity using a traditional passive approach such as lectures known to have little effect on performance or patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention for obesity management on PCPs’ attitude, self-efficacy, practice changes and patient-related outcomes. Methods Prospective interventional study with 12 months follow-up. A two-day clinical obesity preceptorship was offered where participants were actively involved in competence building using real-life situations, in addition to electronic networking tools, including a discussion forum and interactive monthly webinars. Thirty-five participants (12 nurses and 23 physicians) from seven Family medicine groups were enrolled. Questionnaires were used to evaluate the impact on primary care nurses’ and physicians’ attitudes and self-efficacy for obesity management. Practice changes and patient outcomes were evaluated using clinical vignettes, de-identified electronic patient records and qualitative analyses from group interviews. Results Physicians’ general attitude towards patients with obesity was improved (61 ± 22 mm vs 85 ± 17 mm, p < 0.001). Self-efficacy for obesity management and lifestyle counselling were also improved immediately and 1 year after the intervention (all Ps < 0.05). De-identified patient records and clinical vignettes both showed improvement in recording of weight, waist circumference and evaluation of readiness to change lifestyle (all Ps < 0.05) that was confirmed by group interviews. Also, 15% of patients who were prospectively registered for weight management had lost more than 5% of their initial weight at the time of their last visit (P < 0.0001, median follow-up of 152 days). Conclusion A multimodal educational intervention for obesity management can improve PCPs’attitude and self-efficacy for obesity management and lifestyle counselling. This translates into beneficial practice changes and patient-related outcomes. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01385397. Retrospectively registered, 28 June 2011.

“…This is especially true when we teach preceptors how to foster critical thinking devleopment (Cotter, 2010;Forneris & Peden-McAlpine, 2009;Goss, 2015;Mann-Salinas, et al, 2014;Sorensen & Yankech, 2008). Preceptors are crucial clinical staff members that offer guidance, coaching and instruction in the clinical setting while ensuring that the clinical care provided for patients is safe and effective.…”

“…Support and instuction from the preceptor impacts the development of clinical skills and judgment in a step-by-step process. If nurse preceptors are to develop the novice nurses' thinking, reasoning, and judgement skills, the preceptor's ability to foster the development of these skills in others must be established through evidence-based, preceptor education (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, Day, & Shulman, 2010;Cotter, 2010;Goss, 2015;Mann-Salinas, et al, 2014). The preceptor support system makes preceptor feedback pertaining to program delivery and efficacy vitally important.…”

Quantitative data is preferred, due to the need to engage senior leadership in financing the progams.…”
