Introduction: Around 140 million children are born every year and post-natal transition is uncomplicated in the vast majority. However, around 5%–15% of neonates receive supportive interventions during transition. Recent data on the interventions used is scarce. More data on the frequencies with which these interventions are used is needed to evaluate neonatal resuscitation, guide recommendations and to generate hypotheses for further research. The following protocol describes an international, multicentre survey on the interventions currently applied during neonatal resuscitation. Objectives: To determine the frequencies at which different supportive interventions recommended by European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for neonatal resuscitation are used. To compare the frequencies between hospitals and patient groups and to investigate possible factors influencing any differences found. Methods: Participating hospitals will collect data on all interventions performed during neonatal resuscitation over a period of 6 months. All hospitals providing perinatal care are eligible regardless of size and designated level of neonatal care. Every neonate requiring more interventions than basic drying and tactile stimulation during the first 30 min of life will be included. The targeted sample size is at least 4,000 neonates who receive interventions. After anonymization, the data is pooled in a common database and descriptive and statistical analysis is performed globally and in subgroups. Possible correlations will be investigated with phi coefficient and chi square testing. Ethics and dissemination: Consent of the institutional review board of the Technical University Dresden was obtained for the local data collection under the number BO-EK-198042022. Additionally, approval of local ethical or institutional review boards will be obtained by the participating hospitals if required. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at suitable scientific conferences.

Långtidsarbetslösa i Sverige har sämre hälsa och välbefinnande än andra grupper och befinner sig i en utsatt position i samhället. Arbetslösa i allmänhet har en lägre känsla av sammanhang i livet, KASAM. Syftet med studien var att beskriva långtidsarbetslösas livskvalitet samt deras upplevelser och önskemål om stödjande insatser för människor i denna situation. Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta långtidsarbetslösa som var inskrivna i ett projekt i sydvästra Sverige. Resultatet visade att socialt stöd, frihet och kreativitet i vardagen ansågs öka livskvaliteten. Hinder för en god livskvalitet uppgavs vara arbetslösheten, diskriminering, språksvårigheter samt ekonomiska svårigheter. Främjande aktiviteter som praktik, studiebesök, språkträning och hälsoaktiviteter upplevdes positiva och ett ökat utbud önskades. Detta ansågs kunna uppnås genom ökat samarbete med andra delar av samhället som företag, högskolor, föreningar och organisationer. Förslag till vidare arbete inom detta folkhälsovetenskapliga problemområde: Utvärdering av politiska mål kring arbetslösas situation, ökat språkstöd i svenska samt en kvalitativ studie av uppfattningen om stödjande insatser hos de personer som arbetar med långtidsarbetslösa. / The long-term unemployed people in Sweden are feeling unsatisfied than any other population groups and they are in a more vulnerable situation in society in comparison to others. Lowered health status and sense of coherence are often the situation for unemployed people. The purpose of this study was to describe how long-term unemployed people with economic support experience their quality of life and their experience and thoughts of supportive interventions. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight long-term unemployed people who were listed in a project in south-west Sweden. The results showed social support, freedom and creativity in everyday life appears to increase quality of life. Obstacles for quality of life were the unemployment, discrimination, language problems and economic difficulties. Encouraging activities like practical experience, study tours, Swedish language courses and health activities were experienced as positive and an increased selection of some selection was wished for. This could be reached through interventions and local authorities increased cooperation and networking with other parts in society such as companies, universities and non-profit organizations. An evaluation of political implementations and goals for the unemployed, an increased language support in Swedish and a qualitative study with people who work with the long-term unemployed, to get their point of view of supportive interventions, are recommendations for further studies within this health science field.
