Summary: The study aims to explore nurse educators' experiences and strategies in simulation-based learning. The theory of Endeavouring interplay illustrates the complexity educators face when trying to optimize simulation as a learning space for nurse students, involving strategies such as legitimizing simulation, self-development, preparing students, and tailoring simulation.

Summary: Most injured children receive trauma care outside of a pediatric trauma center, and differences in physiology, dosing, and injury pattern limit the application of adult trauma principles to pediatrics. A comparison between US trauma center experiences with pediatric and adult trauma resuscitation revealed significantly fewer high-acuity pediatric trauma cases, highlighting the need for education and simulation in pediatric trauma resuscitation to improve outcomes.

Summary: This study explores how new CEOs construct and maintain their narrative identity in relation to their new occupational role. The results suggest that storytelling identity work tends to be used by new CEOs during their transition period, particularly when their new position involves higher visibility and changes in prestige levels. The success of storytelling identity work is characterized by co-construction and validation of stories with significant others, as well as feeling sufficiently authentic and impressive.

Summary: This study explored power dynamics between rural simulation participants and urban expert co-debriefers during a simulated operating room crisis and debriefing, revealing subtle expressions of power dynamics that were not observable in the enactment of the exercise. Rural learners appreciated the objectivity of the urban debriefers as well as the nurse/physician dyad, but seemed to quietly dismiss feedback when it was incongruent with their context.

Summary: This study examines team-based instructional change in undergraduate STEM education by interviewing 23 team members across 4 teams at 3 institutions in the USA. The research identifies five key team processes and three emergent states that impact teamwork and outcomes. Further investigation with more teams is needed due to the complexity of team dynamics.

Summary: This paper examines recent research on prejudice in the workplace by comparing the domains of management, psychology and sociology. The findings show that each domain makes distinctive contributions, thus providing scholars with a holistic understanding of prejudice and discrimination in the workplace. The limitations of the study include the relative absence of intersectionality, immutability and salience. Recommendations for future research directions are provided based on significant social movements impacting prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors.

Summary: This research aims to gain a deeper understanding of the factors leading to turnover among Chinese rural teachers (CRTs). The study involved 408 in-service CRTs as participants, using semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire to collect data. Grounded theory and FsQCA were employed for data analysis. The study found that welfare allowance, emotional support, and working environment can be equally substituted to increase CRTs' intention to stay, with professional identity as the core condition. Career development was neglected due to compensation for inadequate social support through self-improvement and acceptance of professional stagnation. When the external environment is favorable, CRTs may have a strong intention to stay but lack enthusiasm for teaching due to lack of professional identity. This study clarifies the complex causal relationships between CRTs' retention intention and its factors and contributes to the practical development of the CRTs workforce.

Summary: The study in rural arctic Norway found a significant proportion of injured patients had used psychoactive substances prior to admission. These patients were more likely to be involved in violent incidents, have risky alcohol consumption, falls, reduced consciousness upon admission, and head injuries.

Summary: The study found that levels of appetite-regulating hormones decrease and nutritional status varies significantly under extreme physical and psychological stress. Adequate calorie intake seems to facilitate recovery of appetite and nutritional status. Additionally, the interleukin-6 may play a role in muscle-liver, muscle-fat, and muscle-brain communication. These findings could inform nutrition planning for future space travelers, mountaineers, and individuals undertaking highly demanding missions.

Summary: This study evaluated the treatment strategies and outcomes of pediatric trauma patients in a major Scandinavian trauma center over a 16-year period. The study found a low in-hospital mortality rate among severely injured children and a decrease in futile care. The main cause of death was brain injury, and the deaths were deemed non-preventable. The study concludes the importance of prioritizing prevention strategies to further decrease pediatric trauma related mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the characteristics of polytrauma patients with orthopaedic injuries aged >= 65 and < 65 years. The results showed that although the injury severity scores were similar in both groups, the mortality rate was significantly higher among patients aged >= 65 years compared to those < 65 years, and the younger age group underwent surgery for orthopaedic injuries more frequently.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a tool for assessing the non-technical skills (NTS) of newly graduated physicians in Norway. Through focus group interviews and literature search, the Norwegian medical students' non-technical skills (NorMS-NTS) assessment tool was developed, which consists of four main categories and a rating scale for observed NTS. This tool provides a purpose-made assessment method to evaluate the NTS of new physicians.

Summary: The study explores the experience of dispatchers using video streaming as an additional tool in medical emergency calls. The results suggest that video streaming can contribute to a better understanding of the situation, more precise resource allocation, greater reassurance for the dispatcher, and improved relationship between the dispatcher and the caller. Further research is needed to measure the effects and safety of video streaming during medical emergency calls.

Summary: This study assessed the national and regional-level 30-day mortality in trauma cases in Norway after primary hospital admission. It found that risk-adjusted survival for severe injuries is largely determined by whether patients are directly admitted to a trauma center, which has implications for transport capacity planning in remote areas.
