Factors Associated With Knowledge and Attitude Among Vietnamese Nursing Staff Regarding Pain Management in a Vietnam National Hospital
This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional design and was conducted at a national hospital in Vietnam from May to June 2021. Nurses working in all clinical units were surveyed to collect demographic data and assessed using the structured Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with knowledge and attitudes. RESULTS: Two hundred seventy-nine nurses completed the survey, including 152 (54.5%) who read books or journals about pain, 25 (9.0%) who reported the use of unit-based pain guidelines, and 77 (27.6%) who used a n...

Performance of the Modified Rapid Emergency Medicine Score in Patients With and Without Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSION: The mREMS showed no prognostic capacity for patients with TBI, and it presented the worst performance in relation to the Injury Severity Score, New Injury Severity Score, and Trauma and Injury Severity Score to discriminate cases of in-hospital mortality when considering trauma patients with and without TBI.

Implementation of a New Clinical Testing Tool to Assess Patients During Ictal and Postictal Periods
This study investigated the effectiveness of implementing a new clinical testing tool designed with an emphasis on simplicity for use during and after seizures. METHODS: A pre-and-post evaluation study was conducted from January 2020 to November 2020 in the epilepsy monitoring unit/neurology unit at a hospital in Sydney, Australia. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of clinical testing during seizures. The secondary outcome of interest was nurse knowledge about clinical testing during a seizure. This knowledge was measured via testing before and after clinical education sessions. The third outcome of interes...

A Scoping Review of the Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes of Delirium Among Critically Ill Stroke Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Current findings are limited by heterogenous populations, assessments, and measurement parameters. Detection and management of delirium among critically ill stroke patients requires an approach with specific considerations to the complexities of acute neurological injury and concomitant critical illness.

Challenges and Opportunities in Stroke Nursing Research: Global Views From a Panel of Nurse Researchers
This article reflects panel insights on challenges and opportunities for nurse-led stroke research. DISCUSSION: The research challenges discussed include nursing independence, the processes of informed consent and randomization process, obtaining adequate independent funding, recruiting research subjects, and working with vulnerable groups. The major opportunities to leverage and improve stroke nursing research include facilitating the nurse investigator role, information digitalization, improving health literacy, and collaboration between nurse researchers. SUMMARY: We are living in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and amb...

The Relationship Between Adaptation to Disease and Self-care Agency Levels in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
CONCLUSION: It was concluded that there was a moderate-level, significant, and positive correlation between the patients' level of adaptation to MS disease and the level of their self-care agency. We recommend the provision of supportive professional training to patients with MS on their disease. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Using Electroencephalogram Biosignal Changes for Delirium Detection in Intensive Care Units
CONCLUSION: QEEG assessments can potentially detect the changes in the centroparietal and parietal regions of delirium patients. QEEG changes, including lower power spectra of alpha, beta, and gamma waves, and spectral edge frequency 50%, can be successfully used to distinguish delirium from the absence of delirium.

The Effects of Relaxation Techniques on Pain, Fatigue, and Kinesiophobia in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A 3-Arm Randomized Trial
BACKGROUND: In addition to the available medical treatment options, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients may tend toward complementary and integrative therapies. Relaxation techniques are a nonpharmacological and side-effect–free therapy option currently available to alleviate the symptoms of many different chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the effects of relaxation techniques on the pain, fatigue, and kinesiophobia in MS patients. METHODS: This 3-arm randomized controlled trial consisted of 80 MS patients. Relaxation techniques, progressive muscle relaxation and Benson relaxation technique w...

Time-Varying Risk Factors Associated With the Progress of Functional Recovery and Psychological Distress in First-Ever Stroke Patients
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the progression of time-varying risk factors for functional recovery and psychological distress in patients with first-ever stroke. We recommend that nurses work with patients and their families in the early poststroke stages to identify comprehensive goals based on individual needs and related factors at different stages and that they educate patients on what is required for them to regain independence.

A Delphi Study to Establish Research Priorities for Neuroscience Nursing
CONCLUSION: The results of this study served as an effort for creating research priorities and enhancing research collaboration that focuses on neuroscience nursing. Focusing on gaps in the literature and setting research priorities can ultimately improve patient outcomes. Neuroscience nursing research priorities can be used to inform, guide, and aid nurse scientists, educators, and providers, and to inform agencies that provide research and program funding.
