A comparison of rural and urban patient safety indicator rates (PSIs) found, that observed rates were higher for small urban hospitals than for rural hospitals for nine PSIs, including death in low mortality DRGs, decubitus ulcer, failure to rescue, and selected infections due to medical care (Vartak, Ward, & Vaughn, 2010). keywords: cahs; care; community; health; health care; hospitals; journal; nurses; nursing; online; patient; qoc; quality; rural; safety; study; work cache: rno-328.pdf plain text: rno-328.txt item: #175 of 421 id: rno-33 author: Findholt, Nancy E.; Michael, Yvonne L.; Davis, Melinda M.; Brigoitti, Victoria W. title: Environmental Influences on Children’s Physical Activity and Diets in Rural Oregon: Results of a Youth Photovoice Project date: 2010-12-01 words: 5311 flesch: 58 summary: A recent national study found that rural children were 25% more likely to be overweight or obese than their urban counterparts (Lutfiyya, Lipsky, Wisdom- Behounek, & Inpanbutr-Martinkus, 2007). On the other hand, it is conceivable that the rural environment may be perceived as safer and that rural children may spend more time outdoors and have more access to fresh fruits and vegetables along with less access to fast food restaurants than their urban and suburban counterparts – factors that have been linked to increased physical activity and healthy eating behaviors (Baranowski, Thompson, DuRant, Baranowski, & Puhl, 1993; French, Story, Neumark-Sztainer, Fulkerson, & Hannan, 2001; Hearn et al., 1998; Klesges, Eck, Hanson, Haddock, & Klesges, 1990; Sallis et al., 1993; Timperio, Crawford, Telford, & Salmon, 2004). keywords: activity; children; communities; community; county; food; health; journal; obesity; school; students; study cache: rno-33.pdf plain text: rno-33.txt item: #176 of 421 id: rno-330 author: Schulz, Paula; Zimmerman, Lani; Johansson, Patrik; Hertzog, Melody; Barnason, Sue title: Physical Activity Patterns in Rural-Residing Spousal Caregivers and Cardiac Surgery Patients in the First 6 Months Post-Surgery date: 2014-11-20 words: 5857 flesch: 52 summary: Measures Baseline demographic (age, race, educational level, work status, and income) and clinical variables (co-morbidities and physical activity level) were collected via self-report.
