Article Abstract
Objective: Although workload monitoring is commonly used in athletic settings to mitigate injury risk, we are unaware of previous studies examining its feasibility among firefighters.
Methods: Nineteen firefighter recruits completed a short online workload survey at the end of each training day (Monday-Friday) for 26 weeks during the academy. A modified System Usability Scale was provided at midtesting (3 months into the academy) and posttesting (end of the academy).
Results: The recruits perceived the survey to be user-friendly throughout the academy (83.6 ± 13.6). However, questions 1 (survey frequency) and 6 (survey consistency) decreased and increased from midtesting to posttesting, respectively. Adherence was overall poor, decreasing from midtesting to posttesting.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that workload monitoring is a user-friendly tool within tactical populations; however, future research should consider optimal survey frequency to enhance compliance.

Introduction: We aimed to explore the conceptualization and perception of self-monitoring amongst women, partners, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and policymakers, with particular interest in those living with social/medical complexity.
Material And Methods: Across the United Kingdom, 96 semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 40 women, 15 partners, 21 HCPs, and 20 policymakers to discuss their lived experience of utilizing, delivering, or developing policy for self-monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. A thematic framework analysis was undertaken to develop themes, considered by participant type, ethnicity, geographical region, personal experience of self-monitoring, and social complexity, and a content analysis was used to explore how self-monitoring was conceptualized.

Multi-month dispensing of tuberculosis (TB) drugs is an innovative strategy that may reduce frequent clinic visits and travel costs among people with TB (PWTB) in rural areas. To inform a planned trial, we explored the appropriateness, barriers, and facilitators to multi-month dispensing among PWTB and healthcare providers in rural eastern Uganda. We used qualitative methods situated within the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to explore two refill schedules for multi-month dispensing of TB drugs-a four- or five-visit refill schedule.

Background Emergency neurosurgical referrals are a leading driver of on-call workload and unplanned admissions. Tracking their volume and case-mix supports safe staffing, imaging capacity, and bed planning across regional networks. The study included all emergency referrals made to the department between 2020 and 2022.
