Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Evaluation und Implementierung des Safewards-Modells in der Akutpsychiatrie. Methode Prä-Post-Befragung auf 2 geschützten Stationen von Patienten (n = 80) und Mitarbeitern (n = 88). Ergebnisse Nach der Implementierung wurden das Stationsklima und die Arbeitszufriedenheit günstiger eingeschätzt. Zudem zeigten sich positive Korrelationen zwischen der Arbeitszufriedenheit und dem Stationsklima bzw. dem Umsetzungsgrad einzelner Interventionen. Schlussfolgerungen Die Implementierung des Safewards-Modells in der Akutpsychiatrie kann sich sowohl auf das Stationsklima als auch auf die Arbeitszufriedenheit positiv auswirken.

Evaluation of the changes of ward atmosphere and job satisfaction after the implementation of the Safewards model in acute psychiatry in Germany.A multi-perspective pre-post study design was conducted in two locked wards among patients (n = 80) and staff (n = 88) before and after the implementation of the Safewards model over a period of 12 months.After the implementation of the Safewards model, ward atmosphere and job satisfaction improved. Both correlated positively amongst staff. Furthermore, job satisfaction correlated positively with a high degree of implementation of two interventions. Fidelity to the Safewards model was high.Implementing the Safewards model in acute psychiatry with high fidelity can have positive effects on positive ward atmosphere and job satisfaction. Thus, patients as well as staff benefit from this model. With regards to high fluctuation in acute psychiatry, the implementation of the Safewards model can additionally facilitate retention management.Evaluation und Implementierung des Safewards-Modells in der Akutpsychiatrie.Prä-Post-Befragung auf 2 geschützten Stationen von Patienten (n = 80) und Mitarbeitern (n = 88).Nach der Implementierung wurden das Stationsklima und die Arbeitszufriedenheit günstiger eingeschätzt.

Introduction: The accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems is often assessed with respect to blood glucose (BG) readings. CGM readings are affected by a physiological and a technical time delay when compared to BG readings. In this analysis, the dependence of CGM performance parameters on the BG rate of change was investigated for 2 CGM systems. Methods: Data from a previously published study were retrospectively analyzed. An established CGM system (Dexcom G4, Dexcom, San Diego, CA; system A) and a prototype system (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany; system B) with 2 sensors each were worn by 10 subjects in parallel. Glucose swings were induced to achieve rapidly changing BG concentrations. Mean absolute relative differences (MARD) were calculated in different BG rate-of-change categories. In addition, sensor-to-sensor precision was assessed. Results: At BG rates of change of –1 mg/dl/min to 0 mg/dl/min and 0 mg/dl/min to +1 mg/dl/min, MARD results were 12.6% and 11.3% for system A and 8.2% and 10.0% for system B. At rapidly changing BG concentrations (Conclusions: Both systems were affected by rapidly changing BG concentrations to some degree, although system B was mostly unaffected by decreasing BG concentrations. It would seem that technological advancements in CGM systems might allow for a more precise tracking of BG concentrations even at rapidly changing BG concentrations.
