Inclusion of Effect Size Measures and Clinical Relevance in Research Papers
Discussion
Findings in research reports should address effect sizes and clinical relevance and significance. Failure to publish clinically relevant effects and CIs may preclude the inclusion of clinically relevant studies in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, thereby limiting the advancement of evidence-based practice. Several accessible resources for researchers to generate, report, and evaluate measures of magnitude, precision, and relevance are included in this article. (Source: Nursing Research)

Just-in-Time Qualitative Research: Methodological Guidelines Based on the COVID-19 Pandemic Experience
This article presents methodological guidelines for just-in-time qualitative research based on our current, pandemic-relevant research.
Methods
The processes followed while conducting two longitudinal, online qualitative studies addressing the lived experience and response to the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed. Methodological challenges faced were then identified, and specific design and implementation guidelines were developed. The ways in which these guidelines can be applied to conduct just-in-time research during the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health crises were further delineated using examples from o...

Using Cognitive Interviewing to Design Interventions for Implementation in Oncology Settings
Discussion
Cognitive interviewing can be applied to develop survey items that capture real-world experiences and perspectives of practicing nurses. This is an essential step in developing nursing interventions that are ready to be implemented and increasing the uptake of evidence-based nursing care. Cognitive interviewing can be used across nursing settings, populations, and interventions to develop understandings of attitudes, attributes, characteristics, and perceptions for a variety of nursing interventions.

Applying Community-Engaged Intervention Mapping to Preparing Nurse Scientists
Discussion
Potential benefits of preparation in community-engaged intervention mapping to nurse scientists and nursing science include explicit consideration of multilevel factors influencing health. Additional benefits include guidance for linking relevant constructs from behavior- and environment-oriented theories with evidence-based methods for affecting desired changes in care and quality of life outcomes. Moreover, enhancement of the theoretical fidelity of the intervention, explication of the mechanisms influencing change in the primary outcome, and improved relevance and feasibility of interventions for intended...

Identifying Symptom Information in Clinical Notes Using Natural Language Processing
Discussion
Using our comprehensive symptom vocabularies and NimbleMiner to label symptoms in clinical notes produced excellent performance metrics. The ability to extract symptom information from EHR notes in an accurate and scalable manner has the potential to greatly facilitate symptom science research. (Source: Nursing Research)

Associations Among Nitric Oxide and Enkephalinases With Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Discussion
Our data have shown significant relationships of serum nitric oxide levels and oxytocinase and EDA activities with some body pressure pain thresholds, the daily activity level, and the global intensity of pain in women with FM. These results suggest that pain, which is the main symptom of this syndrome, may be related to alterations in nitric oxide levels and in oxytocinase and EDA activities in patients with FM.

Integrated Review of Psychosocial and Behavioral Health Assessments and Interventions in Pulmonary Hypertension
The objectives are to explore psychosocial and behavioral health needs and describe psychosocial and behavioral health interventions for patients with PH.
Methods
We conducted an integrative systematic review of publications between January 1, 2010, and January 31, 2020, obtained from electronic databases: EMBASE, PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. The literature searches focused on empirical literature reporting psychosocial needs and psychosocial and behavioral health interventions for adult PH patients. We included peer-reviewed studies publis...

Predicting Infection in Very Preterm Infants: A Study Protocol
Background
Neonatal sepsis causes morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Clinicians need a predictive tool for the onset of neonatal infection to expedite treatment and prevent morbidity. Abnormal thermal gradients, a central–peripheral temperature difference (CPtd) of>2°C or 2°C) and low CPtd (number/percentage of minutes with CPtd of (Source: Nursing Research)

Applying Computational Ethnography to Examine Nurses’ Workflow Within Electronic Health Records
Discussion
Within a clinical context, the use of computational ethnographic data and data mining techniques can inform the optimization of the EHR. Results from these analyses can be used to supplement the data needed in redesigning the EHR, such as organizing and combining features within a screen or predicting future navigation to improve the record that nurses use.
Many existing electronic health record (EHR) workflow studies report conflicting results in time spent in the record, documentation demand, and usability and often do not explore the time-based navigation patterns of nurses. (Source: Nursing Research)

Gender Differences in the Relationship Between Financial Stress and Metabolic Abnormalities
Conclusion
Men living with financial stress are more likely to have hypertriglyceridemia, a specific metabolic abnormality and risk factor for acute cardiovascular events. However, financial stress in women is associated with a broader array of metabolic abnormalities (e.g., dyslipidemia, prediabetes, abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome), highlighting a potential risk of multiple chronic conditions later in life.
