Observational Study
The current status of early nursing for emergency pancreatitis and analysis of factors influencing prognosis: A retrospective study.
This study is to investigate the incidence of pain and the influencing factors of prognostic complications in early admission care of pancreatitis in the emergency department patients. This provides a basis for clinical nursing management and prognosis improvement. Hundred patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the tertiary hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. ⋯ Pancreatitis in the emergency department patients are prone to exacerbation and prolonged pain during early hospitalization. In nursing, timely attention should be paid to the patient's pain issues, timely pain relief measures should be taken, and the occurrence of complications should be reduced, reducing the patient's hospitalization time. Meanwhile, it is necessary to constantly pay attention to changes in the patient's gastrointestinal function and experimental indicators.

The number of asylum seekers awaiting decisions on their claims in the UK has more than tripled since 2014. How we meet international obligations to provide appropriate healthcare to asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs) is therefore an increasingly important issue. The views of frontline healthcare workers are vital to ensure the development of sustainable and effective health policy when it comes to caring for this group. ⋯ This study provides an insight into the views of EDCPs in providing care to ASRs in the ED. Study findings can potentially contribute to the development of ED-specific guidelines as well as inform wider health policy and provide a focus and direction for further research.
