Mycosis Fungoides in Skin of Color
Mycosis fungoides is the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Although mycosis fungoides affects patients of all skin tones, mycosis fungoides has a higher incidence in patients with skin of color. Patients with skin of color who are diagnosed with mycosis fungoides have worse outcomes and poor prognosis compared with patients with lighter skin tones. Mycosis fungoides is difficult to diagnose in patients with skin of color as rare subtypes or clinical presentations are commonly seen in these populations. Increased awareness of the presentation of mycosis fungoides in skin of color and early detection could addre...

Distributing Written Action Plans to Control Eczema Symptoms in Children
Written action plans for chronic diseases, such as asthma, guide parents to improve clinical outcomes for their children. Many primary care and specialty care clinicians follow national guidelines and prescribe asthma action plans annually. However, written action plans are not routinely prescribed for eczema, a chronic disease with high morbidity and prevalence that commonly presents before asthma symptoms develop. This quality improvement project initiated the use of eczema action plans with parents whose children were being managed by a pediatric dermatologist. Clinical outcomes and confidence among parents managing the...

Effectiveness of Cutaneous Melanoma Education on Knowledge, Confidence, and Practice Intent Among Graduate Nursing Students
Primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) are positioned to improve patient outcomes and reduce the global burden of skin cancers including cutaneous melanoma (CM). Improving skin cancer and CM educational opportunities, especially at the graduate student level, is a necessary step to overcome practice barriers and improve patient care. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an online graduate educational training program to improve knowledge, confidence, and practice intent. An exploratory, descriptive design guided this project with a nonprobability, convenience sample of NP gra...

Alopecia Areata: Exploring the Literature
CONCLUSION The nursing profession pursues research to promote best practice and improve patient outcomes; however, nursing research falls short on the topic of alopecia areata. This autoimmune disorder causes a significant psychological impact on people living with the disease; therefore, individuals diagnosed with the condition experience the unique phenomenon of living without hair. The literature review indicates the need for further investigation of the essence of living with the daily reality of cyclic patterns of hair loss and the resulting health-illness transition from one stable state of health to another stat...
