How Value is Determined in Health Care
Creat Nurs. 2023 May;29(2):182-186. doi: 10.1177/10784535231195428.ABSTRACTThe ability to assess the value of various health-care activities, processes, and outcomes is critical for decision making and essential to maintain the fidelity of value-based payment mechanisms. However, value is subjective and differs by perspective, context, and situation. Furthermore, the complex nature of health-care delivery and payment complicates efforts to determine the value of individual components or interventions. While a variety of methods exist to quantify and compare value, none have been able to fully capture value for all stakehol...

The Effect of Simulation on Newly Licensed Nurses' Confidence in Initiating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Narrative Review
Creat Nurs. 2023 May;29(2):211-215. doi: 10.1177/10784535231195489.ABSTRACTHospitalized patients experiencing cardiac arrest are more likely to receive resuscitative interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), advanced cardiac life support, and defibrillation, than patients who experience a cardiac arrest outside the hospital setting. Annually, there are nearly 290,000 inpatient cardiac arrests each year in the United States. These cardiac arrests are associated with a mean survival rate of only 25%. Increasing nurses' feelings of confidence in initiating CPR may lead to faster reaction times, shorter hospit...

Effectiveness of a Supportive Program on Caregiver Burden of Families Caring for Patients on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation at Home: An Experimental Study
Creat Nurs. 2023 May;29(2):229-237. doi: 10.1177/10784535231195507.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of patients on mechanical ventilation who are being supported at home is increasing. Due to these patients' complex and chronic conditions, the subjective burden on their family caregivers increases after discharge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a supportive home care program on the caregiver burden of families caring for patients on invasive mechanical ventilation at home. Sixty patients hospitalized in three university-affiliated hospitals in Tehran, Iran between 7/2020 and 8/2021 were randomly assigned ...

Creat Nurs. 2023 May;29(2):177-181. doi: 10.1177/10784535231195426.ABSTRACTInnovations are critical for improving clinical practice and nursing education, and for enhancing learning and practice change for frontline nurses and nursing students. Continuous innovation for delivering safe care and improving patient outcomes is needed. Merely demonstrating the effectiveness of research innovations is not enough to promote their uptake and use in practice. A 2021 study in cancer research reported that moving research into practice takes about 15 years. Implementation science, a systemic process of identifying the most relevant ...
