Secondary Qualitative Data Analysis in the Health and Social Sciences
by Cheryl Tatano BeckDespite a long history in quantitative research, it is only recently that enthusiasm for secondary analysis of qualitative data has gained momentum across health and social science disciplines. Given that researchers have long known the inordinate amount of time and energy invested in conducting qualitative research, the appeal of secondary analysis of qualitative data is clear. Involving the use of an existing dataset to answer research questions that are different from those asked in the original study, this method allows researchers to once again make use of their hard-earned qualitative dataset and to listen to their participants’ voices to the best of their ability in order to improve care and promote understanding. As secondary qualitative data analysis continues to evolve, more methodological guidance is needed. This book outlines three approaches to secondary data analysis and addresses the key issues that researchers need to wrestle with, such as ethical considerations, voice, and representation. Intellectual and interpretive hazards that can jeopardize the outcome of these analyses are highlighted and discussed, as are the criteria for assessing their quality and trustworthiness. Written as a thought-provoking guide for qualitative researchers from across the health and social sciences, this text includes a review of the state of the science in nursing and a number of in-depth illustrative case studies.
Secondary Trauma and Burnout in Military Behavioral Health Providers
by Charles C. BenightThis book provides an in-depth look at the complex clinical, individual, and organizational challenges that our clinicians face in treating our returning soldiers struggling with the aftermath of more than a decade of war. The authors explore the confluence of factors that make this time in history a perfect storm for military mental health providers. The signature wounds of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars weave a tapestry of emotional turmoil with diffuse brain injury difficulties that challenge the very best clinicians under the best conditions. The authors target different pieces of the puzzle including the prevalence of secondary trauma and burnout, the organizational factors that promote negative clinician well-being, the creation and evaluation of an online social media based intervention for burnout, and a critical review of peer coaching.
Secondary Use of Electronic Health Data: Public Health Perspectives, Use Cases and Challenges (SpringerBriefs in Public Health)
by Fidelia CasciniThis open access book provides an in-depth overview of the characteristics, significance, backgrounds and limits of the most relevant electronic health data categories used at a global level for secondary purposes. These include healthcare system improvement, patient safety and quality of care, health policymaking, surveillance of diseases, personalized medicine, research and innovation such as artificial intelligence training for clinical practice. A detailed and thorough representation of published evidence, practical experiences and concrete examples is offered to the reader who has the opportunity to explore the main areas of utilization of electronic health records, biobanking data, genetic and &‘omic&’ data, real-world data and many other health data from different sources. The challenges and advantages of health data reuse are explained from a public health perspective that addresses risks, benefits and impacts for different stakeholders such as health data holders (e.g., healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and medical device companies), health authorities and data permit issuers (e.g., health data access bodies), and health data users (e.g., healthcare professionals, researchers, business partners in the healthcare system such as insurers, commercial providers of digital solutions). Given the increasing expansion of health data used for secondary purposes, Secondary Use of Electronic Health Data: Public Health Perspectives, Use Cases and Challenges serves as a go-to resource to facilitate the implementation of health data reuse ecosystems. In this regard, it also highlights emerging opportunities such as the European Health Data Space which is extensively explained.
Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Effects: Making Sense of the Evidence
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesData suggest that exposure to secondhand smoke can result in heart disease in nonsmoking adults. Recently, progress has been made in reducing involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke through legislation banning smoking in workplaces, restaurants, and other public places. The effect of legislation to ban smoking and its effects on the cardiovascular health of nonsmoking adults, however, remains a question. Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Effects reviews available scientific literature to assess the relationship between secondhand smoke exposure and acute coronary events. The authors, experts in secondhand smoke exposure and toxicology, clinical cardiology, epidemiology, and statistics, find that there is about a 25 to 30 percent increase in the risk of coronary heart disease from exposure to secondhand smoke. Their findings agree with the 2006 Surgeon General's Report conclusion that there are increased risks of coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality among men and women exposed to secondhand smoke. However, the authors note that the evidence for determining the magnitude of the relationship between chronic secondhand smoke exposure and coronary heart disease is not very strong. Public health professionals will rely upon Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Effects for its survey of critical epidemiological studies on the effects of smoking bans and evidence of links between secondhand smoke exposure and cardiovascular events, as well as its findings and recommendations.

Secrets: Public Celebrity to CIA Secret Spy (Sybil Norcroft Ser. #3)
by Carl DouglassIn Secrets, Dr. Sybil Norcroft feels as if she has gotten in over her head in a welter of secrets and conflicts. She undergoes a lie detector test, gets a major national award, and gets inveigled into a secret association with the CIA, all in a dizzyingly brief period of time. She used to think her career as a practicing neurosurgeon was serious; but, after she is vetted for her CIA position, she gains a new appreciation for "serious". The director asks her, "After you are actively engaged in Company work, failing the lie detector test may mean a Company trial and swift and sure justice--the least noxious being dismissal. Any questions about the seriousness of that kind of justice?" Sybil felt chilly after completing that line of questioning. Her first assignment is to hack into the Russian president's computer system. The second assignment is to kill a man. What on earth has this nice lady from California gotten herself into?
Sectio caesarea: Gegenüberstellung von Nutzen und Risiken (essentials)
by Matthias Wenderlein Dorothea StolzDie Sectio-Rate um 30% ist bestimmt vom Sicherheitsbedürfnis. Der BGH entschied eine Mitbestimmung der Schwangeren beim Geburtsmodus. Sectio-Risiken können die Kreißsaal-Akteure weiter reduzieren. Der nachhaltige Nutzen rechtzeitig durchgeführter Sectio ist objektiv darzustellen. Von Beckenbodenschäden infolge vaginaler Geburt ist ca. die Hälfte der Frauen mehr oder minder betroffen. Vaginale Geburte nach Sectio erhöht das Risiko für eine Uterus-Ruptur. Ohne vorausgehende OP beträgt das Risiko 7 pro 1.000 Geburten. Individuell sind Art, Ausmaß und Lokalisation vorausgehender Läsionen zu klären. Sectio-Kinder haben später mehr Auto-Immunerkrankungen im Promillebereich.Das lässt sich reduzieren und vermeiden durch Kontamination der Neugeborenen-Mundhöhle mit mütterlichem Vaginalsekret direkt nach Sectio, relevant für die sofort beginnende Immunentwicklung. Elektive Sectio um die 38. SSW im Interesse der Klinik-/ Kreißsaal-Organisation kann später vielfältige Entwicklungs-Nachteile bewirken, diese sind im Einschulungs-Alter nachweisbar.

Secure Accommodation in Child Care: 'Between Hospital and Prison or Thereabouts?'
by Robert Harris Professor Noel Timms Noel TimmsFor some children secure accommodation seems to be the only way to control their disparate number of "problems". But why is this so, and from what criteria do social work professionals decide that a child should be put into secure accommodation? In Secure Accommodation in Child Care the authors use an empirical study of secure accommodation as a basis for an analysis of the relations between the state, the family and the "difficult" child. By looking at court procedures, social workers and the children themselves they explain how professionals and children make sense of their worlds, and how they translate that "sense" into personal or professional action. Secure Accommodation in Child Care is essential reading for social service managers, social policy makers, social workers and health care professionals as well as for students and lecturers of social policy and social work.
Security Management for Healthcare: Proactive Event Prevention and Effective Resolution
by Bernard J. ScaglioneThe healthcare industry is changing daily. With the advent of the Affordable Care Act and now the changes being made by the current administration, the financial outlook for healthcare is uncertain. Along with natural disasters, new diseases, and ransomware new challenges have developed for the healthcare security professional. One of the top security issues effecting hospitals today is workplace violence. People don’t usually act violently out of the blue. There are warning signs that can be missed or don’t get reported or, if they are reported, they may not be properly assessed and acted upon. Healthcare facilities need to have policies and procedures that require reporting of threatening or unusual behaviors. Having preventive policies and procedures in place is the first step in mitigating violence and providing a safe and security hospital. Persons working in the healthcare security field need to have information and tools that will allow them to work effectively within the healthcare climate. This holds true for security as well. Security professionals need to understand their risks and work to effectively mitigate threats. The author describes training techniques that can be accomplished within a limited budget. He explains how to manage staff more efficiently in order to save money and implement strategic plans to help acquire resources within a restricted revenue environment. Processes to manage emergent events, provide risk assessments, evaluate technology and understand information technology. The future of healthcare is uncertain, but proactive prevention and effective resolution provide the resources necessary to meet the challenges of the current and future healthcare security environment.
Security and Privacy for Implantable Medical Devices
by Sandro Carrara Wayne BurlesonThis book presents a systematic approach to analyzing the challenging engineering problems posed by the need for security and privacy in implantable medical devices (IMD). It describes in detail new issues termed as lightweight security, due to the associated constraints on metrics such as available power, energy, computing ability, area, execution time, and memory requirements. Coverage includes vulnerabilities and defense across multiple levels, with basic abstractions of cryptographic services and primitives such as public key cryptography, block ciphers and digital signatures. Experts from Computer Security and Cryptography present new research which shows vulnerabilities in existing IMDs and proposes solutions. Experts from Privacy Technology and Policy will discuss the societal, legal and ethical challenges surrounding IMD security as well as technological solutions that build on the latest in Computer Science privacy research, as well as lightweight solutions appropriate for implementation in IMDs.
Security and Privacy for Mobile Healthcare Networks
by Xuemin Sherman Shen Kuan ZhangThis book examines state-of-art research on designing healthcare applications with the consideration of security and privacy. It explains the Mobile Healthcare Network (MHN) architecture and its diverse applications, and reviews the existing works on security and privacy for MHNs. Critical future challenges and research problems are also identified. Using a Quality-of-Protection perspective, the authors provide valuable insights on security and privacy preservation for MHNs. Some promising solutions are proposed to accommodate the issues of secure health data transmission, misbehavior detection, health data processing with privacy preservation and access control in MHNs. Specifically, the secure health data aggregation explores social spots to help forward health data and enable users to select the optimal relay according to their social ties and health data priority. The secure aggregation achieves the desirable delivery ratio with reasonable communication costs and lower delay for the data in different priorities. A proposed misbehavior detection scheme distinguishes Sybil attackers from normal users by comparing their mobile contacts and pseudonym changing behaviors. The detection accuracy is high enough to resist various Sybil attacks including forgery. In addition, the health data processing scheme can analyze the encrypted health data and preserve user's privacy at the same time. Attribute based access control can achieve fine-grained acces s control with user-defined access policy in MHNs. Security and Privacy for Mobile Healthcare Networks is designed for researchers and advanced-level students interested in healthcare security and secure data transmission.

Sedation and Analgesia for the Pediatric Intensivist: A Clinical Guide
by Pradip P. Kamat John W. BerkenboschThis book provides a comprehensive overview on sedation and analgesia for the pediatric intensivist. Divided into two primary sections, the text presents a framework on how to care for patients who need sedation, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade inside the pediatric ICU (PICU), and how to manage procedural sedation in an outpatient setting. The first section focuses on sedation and analgesia for the critically ill child, with an emphasis on analgesics, sedatives, neuromuscular blockade, tolerance and withdrawal, and the PICU environment. The second section centers around procedural sedation, detailing patient selection, pre-sedation assessment, how to choose a sedation regimen, available agents, and nursing considerations.Written by experts in the field, Sedation and Analgesia for the Pediatric Intensivist: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for the pediatric intensivist in caring for their patients both inside and outside the PICU.
Sedation at the End-of-life: An Interdisciplinary Approach
by Paulina TaboadaThe book's main contribution is its interdisciplinary approach to the issue of sedation at the end-of-life. Because it occurs at the end of life, palliative sedation raises a number of important ethical and legal questions, including whether it is a covert form of euthanasia and for what purposes it may legally be used. Many of the book chapters address the first question and almost all deal with a specific form of the second: whether palliative sedation should be used for those experiencing "existential suffering"? This raises the question of what existential suffering is, a topic that is also discussed in the book. The different chapters address these issues from the perspectives of the relevant disciplines: Palliative Medicine, Bioethics, Law and Theology. Hence, helpful accounts of the clinical and historical background for this issue are provided and the importance of drawing accurate ethical and legal distinctions is stressed throughout the whole book. So the volume represents a valuable contribution to the emerging literature on this topic and should be helpful across a broad spectrum of readers: philosophers, theologians and physicians.
Sedentary Behaviour Epidemiology
by Michael F. Leitzmann Carmen Jochem Daniela SchmidThis book addresses the origins, determinants and magnitude of the global problem of sedentary behaviour, along with concise yet in-depth solutions for tackling it. As a consequence of major technological advances in modern society, many people find themselves in environments characterized by prolonged sedentary behaviour. Although inadequate exercise has long been known to cause adverse health consequences, sedentary behaviour has recently emerged as a risk factor for the development of numerous chronic diseases and health conditions. Building on the contributions of leading experts in the field, this book presents current knowledge about sedentary behaviour, its medical and public health significance, its correlates and determinants, measurement techniques, and recommendations for addressing this behaviour at the individual, community, environmental, and policy level. Applying a cross-disciplinary methodology, the book avoids considering physical activity and sedentary behavior as a single continuum, which potentially hampers progress in confronting widespread levels of sedentariness. Rather, the book helps readers better understand how sedentary and physically active behavior co-occur and how the two behaviours have distinct contributing factors. Building on the contributions of distinguished international experts in the field, this thorough resource is a valuable asset and challenges professionals, researchers, students, and practitioners alike to adopt new strategies and expand their reach.
