Vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 related hospital admission in the Netherlands by medical risk condition: A test-negative case-control study
CONCLUSION: Although VE against hospitalization was 78% and increased to 89% after boosting during the Delta-dominant study period, VE was lower in certain high risk groups, for which indirect protection or other protective measures might be of added importance.PMID:38688804 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.017 (Source: Vaccine)

Exploring clinical facilitation and student learning on undergraduate nursing placements through a community of practice lens: A qualitative study
Conclusions: The clinical facilitator role has an important function in preparing student nurses for practice and needs further recognition and continued professional development. Education providers and healthcare organisations need to examine strategies to provide inclusive and supportive work environments, building communities of practice for clinical facilitators and stakeholders to share their experiences and knowledge, promoting individual and group learning, thus improving the student placement experience and fostering the professional identity of clinical facilitators.PMID:38687302 | DOI:10.1080/10376178.2024.23478...

The Relationships among Internalized Stigma, Sense of Coherence, and Personal Recovery of Persons with Schizophrenia Living in the Community
Acta Med Okayama. 2024 Apr;78(2):171-184. doi: 10.18926/AMO/66926.ABSTRACTWe investigated (i) the relationships among internalized stigma (IS), sense of coherence (SOC), and the personal recovery (PR) of persons with schizophrenia living in the community, and (ii) how to improve the support for these individuals. A questionnaire survey on IS, SOC, and PR was sent by mail to 270 persons with schizophrenia living in the community who were using psychiatric daycare services, of whom 149 responded and 140 were included in the analysis. We established a hypothetical model in which IS influences PR, and SOC influences IS and PR,...

The mental workload of ICU nurses performing human-machine tasks and associated factors: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey
CONCLUSION: ICU nurses experience a medium MWL while performing human-machine tasks, but higher mental, temporal, and effort are perceived compared to physical demands. The MWL varied significantly across different human-machine tasks, among which are significantly higher: first aid and life support and information-based human-machine tasks. Task difficulty and system availability are decisive predictors of MWL.IMPACT: This is the first study to investigate the level of MWL of ICU nurses performing different representative human-machine tasks and to explore its predictors, which provides a reference for future research. Th...

Perceived Control, Functional Status, Depressive Symptoms, and Anxiety: Mediating and Moderating Influences on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Heart Failure
CONCLUSION: Functional status moderated the indirect effects of perceived control on HRQoL through DS and anxiety in patients with heart failure. Efforts to improve HRQoL by targeting perceived control may be more effective when considering DS and anxiety in patients with low to moderate levels of functional status.PMID:38687114 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000001100 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Effective preceptors lead to better patient outcomes as new nurses are better equipped to deliver high-quality care under the guidance of experienced mentors. Providing a supportive preceptor experience increases job satisfaction and retention rates among new and tenured nurses, ultimately benefiting health care organizations. When designing preceptor development programs, health care institutions should incorporate the Outcome-Based Continuing Education M...

Efficacy of a Single Day Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Training Course for Critical Care Air Transport Team Eligible Personnel
CONCLUSIONS: An abbreviated 1-day lecture and hands-on task-trainer-based ECMO course resulted in a high rate of successful skill demonstration and improvement of physicians' and nurses' knowledge assessments and confidence levels, similar to our previous live-tissue training program. When compared to our previous studies, the addition of telemedicine and patient transportation to this study did not affect the duration or performance of procedures.PMID:38687647 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae138 (Source: Military Medicine)
