ABSTRACT

Hospital onset Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes significant disease burden and is associated with increased patient mortality. A nurse-driven CDI test order set had been implemented to reduce hospital-onset CDI, yet the order set was not being used. We employed a humble inquiry interview method to identify barriers to using the CDI test order set. The humble inquiry approach uncovered unexpected barriers and may be a robust method to identify additional infection prevention evidence-to-practice gaps.

ABSTRACT

This article describes recent practice experiences with donor conceived adults, donors, non-donor-conceived adult children of donors using the voluntary DNA-based register, UK DonorLink. It highlights additional complexities faced when using DNA rather than paper records for searching, in particular from the risk of false positives, low chances of success and potential inclusion of biological parents' DNA. Professionals' experiences in supporting those being "linked" suggest challenges as well as rewards. Registration carries the potential to be therapeutic for donor-conceived adults and donors and to enhance their political awareness regardless of links being made. Registrants value both peer and professional support, providing the latter can respond flexibly and be delivered by staff experienced in intermediary work. Given that the majority of those affected by donor conception internationally come from anonymous donation systems, these findings are highly pertinent and argue the need for political and moral debate about such service provision.
