The short and long-term efficacy of nurse-led interventions for improving blood pressure control in people with hypertension in primary care settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Nurse-led interventions may be more effective than usual care for achieving BP control at long-term follow-up. It is important to continue lifestyle modification for people with hypertension. We must pay attention to adverse events, and more studies examining appropriate BP targets are needed. Nurse-led care represents an important complement to primary physician-led usual care.PMID:38678180 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02380-x (Source: Primary Care)

The experiences of family resilience in patients with permanent colostomy and their spouses: A dyadic qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Couples living with permanent colostomy often undergo a complex emotional journey, experiencing varied levels of individual stress as they navigate social interactions and daily activities, which can contribute to a decline in family adaptation. With the help of the perspective of family advantage, health practitioners should pay attention to the evaluation of individual factors and family environmental resources, to fully mobilize advantage resources and give effective interventions to improve the family and social adaptation level of patients and their spouses.PMID:38677217 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejon.2024.102590 (...

Critical Care Outside the Intensive Care Unit
To improve the care of critically ill patients, intensive care units (ICUs) were created in the mid-twentieth century.1,2 ICU care provides a concentration of specialized nursing and physician care, respiratory therapy, specialized medical equipment, and continuous and invasive patient monitoring. Modern ICUs improve survival and reduce hospital lengths of stay.3,4 However, the ICU is a destination, whereas for most patients, critical illness begins well before ICU admission, or even hospital presentation.

Support for Clinical Nurse Educators
Clinical nurse educators (CNEs) are expert clinical nurses tasked with supporting the orientation and professional development of nurses on clinical units, yet CNEs themselves often do not receive a formal orientation to support their role transition. CNEs at a large academic medical center participate in a quality improvement program aimed at developing communication skills for difficult conversations, feedback, and debriefing. Findings highlight some of the interpersonal communication challenges CNEs encounter, which endorse the need for a formal CNE orientation and mentoring program.

Are Dual, Lateral and Medial plates, better than a single Lateral Locking plate for Osteoporotic Intra-articular Distal Femur Fractures?
HISTORY – A 77-year-old female from a long-term nursing care institution fell on a single step while walking with her walker and presented to the ER with a left distal femur fracture. It could be classified as an AO C1 distal femur fracture in an osteoporotic patient (Figures 1-2). She normally walked abo ut 100 meters a day as she suffered from emphysema and needed to bring her oxygen tank with her. She had had very little left knee pain before this despite having some osteoarthritis on her left femur x-rays. (Source: Injury)
