ASPAN's [corrected] EBP conceptual model: framework for perianesthesia practice and research.

The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) highly regards evidence-based practice (EBP) as a guide to promoting "Best Practices" and improving patient outcomes. EBP is now considered the "gold standard" in improving patient care through the use of the best available evidence. EBP models provide the health care provider with a rigorous systematic method of rating and appraising the evidence that includes, but is not limited to, randomized controlled trials, descriptive studies, qualitative studies, national guidelines, and expert opinion. ASPAN's EBP Team was charged with the development of an EBP Conceptual Model to provide the framework for future perianesthesia practice, education, and research. This article describes how ASPAN's EBP model may be used as a framework for practice and research.

The standardized patient experience in undergraduate nursing education.

Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions was the first Undergraduate Nursing Program to incorporate the Standardized Patient Experience as a requirement for the completion of the Undergraduate Nursing Degree. This requirement has resulted in positive student outcomes and increased student satisfaction.

Evaluation of the mouse TgTP6.3 tauGFP transgene as a lineage marker in chimeras.

The mouse TgTP6.3 transgene, encoding a tauGFP fusion protein, is becoming widely used but has yet to be fully characterized and evaluated as suitable lineage marker. The aim of the present study was to investigate the phenotype of TgTP6.3(+/+) homozygotes and TgTP6.3(+/-) hemizygotes, characterize the expression of the TgTP6.3 transgene in different tissues and critically evaluate its use as a lineage marker. TgTP6.3(+/+) homozygotes died between embryonic day 14.5 and weaning, whereas TgTP6.3(+/-) hemizygotes were mostly viable and fertile but smaller than non-transgenic siblings. TgTP6.3 expression began in the late two-cell stage, persisted in most fetal and adult tissues and was uniformly expressed in many (but not all) tissues. TgTP6.3(+/-) cells were readily identified in many chimeric tissues and their contribution appeared to be quantitatively and spatially normal. Overall, tauGFP expression in hemizygous TgTP6.3(+/-) cells fulfils the main criteria of a good lineage marker for many tissues. It provides a useful lineage marker, which should be particularly suitable for axons, blood vessels and pre-implantation embryos.

Barriers to accessing rural paediatric speech pathology services: health care consumers' perspectives.

OBJECTIVE: An investigation of consumers' perceived barriers to access paediatric speech pathology services. DESIGN: Self-administered, mail-out questionnaire. SETTING: Rural and remote New South Wales (NSW). SUBJECTS: Three hundred and twenty-nine members of the NSW branch of the Isolated Children's and Parents' Association. RESULTS: Consumers living in rural and remote areas experience a number of barriers that affected their ability to access speech pathology services. These barriers include the lack, and limited choice, of speech pathologists in rural areas; long distances to travel to access services, expensive travel costs, lack of public transport; poor awareness of speech pathology services; and delays in treatment due to waiting lists. CONCLUSION: Barriers to access paediatric speech pathology services limit rural and remote consumers' usage of health services, regardless of need, indicating a possible inequity if compared to larger, more accessible urban areas.
