Ministerial directives, on the other hand, govern the application of certain interventions, such as the use of restraints, isolation, or chemical measures [ 42].
When researchers are interested in the effect of certain interventions on certain individuals, single-subject studies are often performed.
This fluctuating pattern of BPSD must be accounted for when interpreting the efficacy of certain interventions.
The disease specific questionnaires have shown to be more sensitive and relevant for use in certain interventions and patient groups.
Treatments, depending upon the cause and severity, may include a pharmacological approach (i.e., the use of certain steroids), or surgical intervention, like a cochlear implant.
Despite aforementioned improvements, the FGDs highlighted several potential barriers that remained over the course of intervention and hinder the implementation of the intervention and the use of certain tools to their fullest extent.
On the other hand the prevalence of obstetric interventions may be influenced by the use of certain procedures during birth, particularly in healthy, low-risk women, which trigger a cascade of subsequent interventions.
For instance, controversy exists regarding the necessary intensity of intervention to achieve positive outcomes, the use of certain outcomes and the efficacy of one program compared to another [ 38].
In some settings 'deviant' registration tendencies have been identified whereby certain interventions that are routinely performed are not registered (e.g. artificial amniotomy, the use of certain medication to stimulate the normal process of labour) or no data are registered in a situation when no technical procedure/intervention has been performed [ 64].
Accordingly, the follow-up study tested the effectiveness of an intervention designed to enhance social support, promote the use of certain coping strategies for managing occupational stress, and prevent burnout in nurses.
