A Person-Centered Approach Understanding Stroke Survivor and Family Caregiver Emotional Health
CONCLUSION: Emotional healthcare services for SSs and their caregivers may consider providing reoccurring mental health education and multifaceted treatment approaches, including provision of peer support, and addressing the unique emotional stressors SSs and caregivers may be experiencing. The small sample size precludes generalizing the results into the broader stroke population. However, by leveraging the lived experience of SSs and their caregivers, the results may help find ways to support SSs' and caregivers' emotional health. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

The Mobile Stroke Unit Nurse: An International Exploration of Their Scope of Practice, Education, and Training
CONCLUSION: We lack information on how many MSUs employ nurses, and the nurses' scope of practice, training, and expertise. Expert stroke nurse practitioners can safely perform many of the tasks undertaken by the onboard neurologist, making a nurse-led telemedicine model an effective and potentially cost-effective model that should be considered for all MSUs.

Using Mnemonic in Management of Multiple Sclerosis
CONCLUSION: It is crucial to consider the classifications of MS and its pathophysiology to determine which medication produces the best results. Our proposed mnemonic can support a clinician's recall ability and assist in identifying the respective MS medication. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

A Decade-long Comparison of Prestroke Health Behaviors Among Hypertensive Stroke Patients in Mainland China
This study used data from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted in the neurology departments of 3 hospitals in Guangzhou, China. In total, 110 hypertensive stroke patients were recruited in stage I (2008-2009), and 119 hypertensive stroke patients were recruited in stage II (2018-2019). Patients' stroke knowledge was measured by the Stroke Knowledge Questionnaire. Patients' prestroke health behavior was measured by the Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients. RESULTS: The total score of prestroke health behaviors significantly increased over the decade (P (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Investigation of Medication Adherence and Factors Affecting It in Patients With Stroke
CONCLUSION: According to the results, the proportion of patients with high medication adherence was low. Patients' concerns about the possible side effects of their prescribed medications and beliefs about the overuse of medications negatively affected their medication adherence. It is recommended that nurses evaluate patients' medication adherence and beliefs about medications during hospitalization, discharge, or home visits. Structured nurse-led intervention programs are needed to enhance patients' medication adherence and beliefs about their medications. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Comparison of Bispectral Index Monitor Data Between Standard Frontal-Temporal Position and Alternative Nasal Dorsum Position in the Intensive Care Unit: A Pilot Study
BACKGROUND: The Bispectral (BIS) monitor is a validated, noninvasive monitor placed over the forehead to titrate sedation in patients under general anesthesia in the operating room. In the neurocritical care unit, there is limited room on the forehead because of incisions, injuries, and other monitoring devices. This is a pilot study to determine whether a BIS nasal montage correlates to the standard frontal-temporal data in this patient population. METHODS: This prospective nonandomized pilot study enrolled 10 critically ill, intubated, and sedated adult patients admitted to the neurocritical care unit. Each patient had a...

Stroke-Specific Refinements to Naylor's Transitional Care Model to Address the Storm of Uncertainty and Unmet Survivor and Caregiver Needs
CONCLUSION: Unmet needs identified by SSs and CGs were used to extend NTCM specific to the stroke population and to develop the Recommendations and Exemplars for Stroke Specific Comprehensive Transitional Care Delivery (see Supplementary Digital Content, available at http://links.lww.com/JNN/A385). Researchers and practitioners can use the findings to develop and deliver more comprehensive TC to SSs and CGs. (Source: Journal of Neuroscience Nursing)

Pupil Light Reflex for the Assessment of Analgesia in Critically Ill Sedated Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Study
CONCLUSION: In our sample, percentages of variation in PLR and PD were found to be directly representative of TBI patients’ fentanyl blood concentration. Considering information about blood drug concentration is generally not available at bedside, PLR could be used as a proxy to assess analgesia requirements before a nociceptive procedure in critically ill sedated TBI patients who are vulnerable to stress.
