- Workplace interventions for smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Feb-2014
The workplace has potential as a setting through which large groups of people can be reached to encourage smoking cessation.
- Workplace interventions for treatment of occupational asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2019
The impact of workplace interventions on the outcome of occupational asthma is not well understood.
- Workplace interventions to prevent work disability in workers on sick leave
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Sep-2015
Work disability has serious consequences for individuals as well as society. It is possible to facilitate resumption of work by reducing barriers to return to work (RTW) and promoting collaboration with key stakeholders. This review was first published in
- Workplace interventions to reduce the risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection outside of healthcare settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2022
Although many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) experience no or mild symptoms, some individuals can develop severe illness and may die, particularly older people and those with underlying medical problems.
- Workplace lighting for improving alertness and mood in daytime workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Mar-2018
Exposure to light plays a crucial role in biological processes, influencing mood and alertness. Daytime workers may be exposed to insufficient or inappropriate light during daytime, leading to mood disturbances and decreases in levels of alertness.
- Workplace pedometer interventions for increasing physical activity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2020
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends undertaking 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, but most people do not. Workplaces present opportunities to influence behaviour and encourage physical activity, as well as other aspe
- Wound cleansing for pressure ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2013
Pressure ulcers (also called pressure sores, bed sores and decubitus ulcers) are areas of tissue damage that occur in the elderly, malnourished or acutely ill, who cannot reposition themselves. Pressure ulcers impose a significant financial burden on heal
- Wound cleansing for treating venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2021
Leg ulcers are open skin wounds that occur below the knee but above the foot. The majority of leg ulcers are venous in origin, occurring as a result of venous insufficiency, where the flow of blood through the veins is impaired; they commonly arise due to
- Wound drainage after axillary dissection for carcinoma of the breast
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2013
Axillary dissection is commonly performed for breast carcinoma. It is uncertain whether insertion of a drain reduces complication rates.
- Wound drainage after plastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Oct-2015
Wound drains are often used after plastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast, in order to reduce potential complications. It is unclear whether there is any evidence to support this practice and we therefore undertook a systematic review of the best
- Wound drainage following groin dissection for malignant disease in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2014
Groin dissection is commonly performed for the treatment of a variety of cancers, including melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, penis or vulva. It is uncertain whether insertion of a drain reduces complication rates, and, if used, the optim
- Wound drainage for caesarean section
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Dec-2013
Subcutaneous and sub rectus sheath wound drains are sometimes used in women who have undergone caesarean section. The indications for using drains vary by clinician.
- Wound drainage for lower limb arterial surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2016
Drains are often used in leg wounds after vascular surgery procedures despite uncertainty regarding their benefits. Drains are placed with the aim of reducing the incidence and size of blood or fluid collections. Conversely, drains may predispose patients
- Wound drains after incisional hernia repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2013
Incisional hernias are caused by the failure of the wall of the abdomen to close after abdominal surgery, leaving a hole through which the viscera protrude. Incisional hernias are repaired by further surgery. Surgical drains are frequently inserted during
- Wound drains following thyroid surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2008
The nature and indications for thyroid surgery vary and a perceived risk of haemorrhage post-surgery is one reason why wound drains are frequently inserted. However when a significant bleed occurs, wound drains may become blocked and the drain does not ob
- Wound infiltration with local anaesthetic agents for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2014
While laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally considered to be less painful than open surgery, pain is one of the important reasons for delayed discharge after day surgery resulting in overnight stay following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The safety an
- Wound‐care teams for preventing and treating pressure ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Sep-2015
Pressure ulcers, which are localised injury to the skin or underlying tissue, or both, occur when people are unable to reposition themselves to relieve pressure on bony prominences. Pressure ulcers are often difficult to heal, painful and impact negativel
- Written action plans for asthma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2008
While all asthma consensus statements recommend the use of written action plan (WAP) as a central part of asthma management, a recent systematic review of randomised trials highlighted the paucity of trials where the only difference between groups was the
- Written and verbal information versus verbal information only for patients being discharged from acute hospital settings to home
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2003
It is becoming commonplace for patients to be discharged earlier from acute hospital settings to their own homes and be required to manage various aspects of their own care. This has increased the need for detailed information to be given to patients and/
- Written emotional disclosure for asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2014
Psychological stress has been widely implicated in asthma exacerbation. Evidence suggests that written emotional disclosure, an intervention that involves writing about traumatic or stressful experiences, helps to reduce stress and promote physical and ps
