Echinocandins were the most frequently utilised antifungal class, with caspofungin being the most used antifungal in the sample. The average duration of therapy for the echinocandins ranged between 11 and 16 days. Compliance to guidelines was evaluated accordingto: reason for initiation; drug choice and drug dose. Three levels of compliance were determined: non-compliant, sub-optimal compliance and compliant. xivThe overall compliance,according to recommended treatment guidelines,was found to be suboptimal, with anidentified need foranintervention which targets thedosing of the antifungals used. In conclusion, the research findings highlight the importance of reviewing antifungal prescribing habits and the need for antifungal stewardship programmes.]]> Thu 19 Aug 2021 23:15:26 SAST ]]> The perceptions and experiences of tenants living in a social housing initiative in Port Elizabeth https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39579 Thu 13 May 2021 16:08:10 SAST ]]> Effects of high-intensity speed training on the speed reserve of university middle-distance and field sport athletes https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39599 Thu 13 May 2021 08:10:29 SAST ]]> Awareness, knowledge and practices with regards to alcohol use of pregnant women in the Missionvale area https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39572 Thu 13 May 2021 08:06:05 SAST ]]> Lower extremity strength training effects on balance and postural control in female elderly https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39595 Thu 13 May 2021 07:03:35 SAST ]]> Experiences of community service nurses regarding supervision and support from professional nurses in primary health care clinics in Nelson Mandela Bay https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39604 Thu 13 May 2021 06:39:49 SAST ]]> Psychologists’ perceptions of cultural competence in working with clients from diverse cultures in psychotherapy within the Nelson Mandela Bay area https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39597 Thu 13 May 2021 06:17:04 SAST ]]> Index of coordination for swimming and running in triathletes: a comparative study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39598 Thu 13 May 2021 05:46:32 SAST ]]> High-intensity Interval Training utilising a standardised versus customised training programme among endurance trained male cyclists https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39596 0.05) from pre-to post-test for both the experimental and control groups in respect of the physiological variables measured (gas exchange threshold, respiratory compensation point, maximal oxygen consumption). The experimental group did however show more positive, but statistically non-significantimprovements in peak power output. The findings of this study therefore showed that no significant within group nor between group improvements were achieved utilizing a standised versus customised HIIT training programme over the four-week study period. The findings do however suggest that the LSCT may have merit in prescribing HIIT sessions in trained athletesas suggested by the improvements of the experimental group’s peak power output.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 05:26:44 SAST ]]> Grandmothers’ perceptions regarding breastfeeding following training for breastfeeding support in Nelson Mandela Bay Health District: a qualitative study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39583 Thu 13 May 2021 04:43:35 SAST ]]> Associations between family history of diseases of lifestyle, lifestyle behaviour and anthropometric nutritional status of pre-school children in ECD centres in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39602 Thu 13 May 2021 04:43:07 SAST ]]> Perceptions of employees at an automotive-manufacturing company regarding the use of hearing -protection devices https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39592 Thu 13 May 2021 04:30:28 SAST ]]> Factors in the school context that enhance resilience in high school learners from socio-economically challenged backgrounds https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39586 Thu 13 May 2021 04:26:12 SAST ]]> Differences in swimming stroke mechanics and kinematics derived from tri-axial accelerometers during a 200-IM event in South African national swimmers https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39588 0.05for all strokes)andbetween freestyle and backstroke for the average stroke rate and stroke length (Tukey:p = 0.0968 andp = 0.997, respectively).Lastly, the machine learning model found a classification accuracy of 96.6% in identifyingand labelling the stroking styles fromthe accelerometer data.Conclusion: It was shown that the tri-axial accelerometers were successful in the identification and differentiation of all the stroking styles, stroke mechanics and kinematics, although a discrepancy was found with the average swimming velocity, stroke rate and lap time estimations. The machine learning model implemented proved the benefits of using artificial intelligence to ease the data process and interpretation by automatically labelling the accelerometer data. Therefore, the use of tri-axial accelerometers as a coaching aid has major potential in the swimming community. However, further research is required to eliminate the time-consuming data processingand to increasetheaccuracy of the accelerometer in the measurement of all the stroke kinematics.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 03:26:12 SAST ]]> Coping and support needs of midwives caring for women with perinatal loss in the Nelson Mandela Bay health district https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39573 Thu 13 May 2021 03:10:53 SAST ]]> Compliance with good distribution practice guidelines for cold chain products among pharmaceutical wholesalers in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39581 Thu 13 May 2021 02:53:39 SAST ]]> Perceptions of the preparedness of pharmacy graduates for internship responsibilities in the industrial pharmacy https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39593 Thu 13 May 2021 02:14:10 SAST ]]> Retrospective analysis of birth HIV PCR testing and follow-up of positive HIV PCR results in Nelson Mandela Bay Health District https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39580 Thu 13 May 2021 00:08:08 SAST ]]> Parents’ perceptions of the content of pre-school lunch boxes following a nutritional programme in Nelson Mandela Bay https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39587 Fri 15 Mar 2024 13:12:42 SAST ]]> Continuous professional development for medical sales representatives: a needs assessment https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39576 Fri 15 Mar 2024 12:06:48 SAST ]]>
