Motivational Interviewing: Improving Confidence With Self-care Management in Postoperative Thoracolumbar Spine Patients
Patients undergoing thoracic or lumbar spine surgery often lack confidence with self-care management of symptoms contributing to disability, such as pain, lack of sleep, depression, and immobility. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine whether a targeted motivational interview, focused on evidence-based recommendations to manage postoperative symptoms related to thoracolumbar spine surgery, would improve patient confidence with self-care management of their symptom-related disability. A quasiexperimental, 1-group, pretest-posttest design was used on a convenience sample of 15 adult surgical spine patients at a lar...

The Feasibility and Impact of the EMOVE Intervention on Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectations for Exercise in Epilepsy
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of the self-efficacy based Epilepsy-Motivate and Outcome Expectations for Vigorous Exercise (EMOVE) intervention and report on the preliminary efficacy of this intervention aimed at improving exercise behaviors in adults with epilepsy. Methods: A single-group, repeated-measures design was used in 30 outpatients. Data were collected at baseline and 12 weeks after the intervention. Participant outcomes included Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectations for Exercise in Epilepsy, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-31, seizure frequenc...

Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin-Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage Protocol Reduces Timing of Door to Correction Interventions
This study used a retrospective quality assessment research approach in examining an oral anticoagulant reversal protocol to compare the control and intervention groups. Phytonadione was the first intervention treatment for most study participants diagnosed with warfarin-associated ICH with an international normalized ratio greater than 1.4. Factor IX was the first intervention treatment for all but one study participant with DOAC-associated ICH. Results: Findings were statistically significant (P (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Feasibility and Variability of Automated Pupillometry Among Stroke Patients and Healthy Participants: Potential Implications for Clinical Practice
Conclusions: Automated pupillometry represents an alternative to manual pupillary assessment that may have greater interrater agreement and reliability. As an optimized method of neurological assessment, it has the potential to improve detection and treatment of conditions leading to END after stroke. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Bispectral Index Values Are Accurate Diagnostic Indices Correlated With Glasgow Coma Scale Scores
This study explores the correlation between GCS scores and BIS values in patients with brain injury. Methods: Fifty patients were divided into 2 groups—moderate (GCS 9–12) and severe (GCS 3–8)—in this prospective, double-blind, observational study. Bispectral index data were recorded when electromyography was less than 40 and signal quality index was greater than 75 for 5 minutes. Linear regression was used to examine the correlation between BIS and GCS, and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted. Cutoff points were identified to show the feasibility and accuracy of BIS for assessing brain injury. Re...

Triage of Mild Head-Injured Intoxicated Patients Could Be Aided by Use of an Electroencephalogram-Based Biomarker
Conclusion: This EEG-based assessment technology used to identify the likelihood of structural or functional brain injury in mildly head-injured patients represents an objective way to aid in triage patients with DA on presentation, with the potential to decrease overscanning while not sacrificing sensitivity to injuries visible on CT.
