Understanding the implementation of a multidisciplinary intervention using a suite of prescribing safety indicators to improve medication safety in prison healthcare settings: a qu... by Tracy Millington, Darren Ashcroft, Tony Avery, Mark Jeffries, Richard Neil Keers, Aseel S M Abuzour, Mark Langridge, Gayle Francis, Amber O’Brien

“…In addition, an online survey was made available to all healthcare staff in participating prisons. Data analysis of interview transcripts and free-text survey responses was conducted following a thematic approach and informed by normalisation process theory.Participants Interviews were conducted with 9 prison healthcare staff and 40 completed the survey, with 18 staff providing free-text responses.Results Three themes were interpreted from the data: bringing people together and establishing individual and collective roles that facilitated implementation of the intervention; developing new tasks, work processes and practices to make the intervention work in everyday practice; and seeing the benefits and value of the intervention and new work processes within the context of prison healthcare provision.Conclusions New work processes and practices were instigated in order to implement the intervention, often fitting into existing medication safety practices, building on other prescribing work and creating learning across the team. …”

Exploring the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Factors Influencing PM_2.5 in China’s Prefecture-Level and Above Cities by Long Chen, Yanyun Nian, Minglu Che, Chengyao Wang, Haiyuan Wang

“…Spatially, higher concentrations were observed in the central and eastern regions, as well as along the northwestern border, while lower concentrations were prevalent in other areas. (2) The spatial–temporal distribution of PM_2.5 was generally stable, demonstrating a strong spatial dependence during its growth process, with significant path dependence characteristics in local spatial clusters of PM_2.5. (3) Precipitation, temperature, wind speed, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) significantly reduced PM_2.5 levels, whereas relative humidity, per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), industrialization level, and energy consumption exerted positive effects. …”
