Psychometric Evaluation of the Family Willingness for Caregiving Scale
CONCLUSIONS: Further testing of the FWCS is needed. After refinement, the FWCS could be used to evaluate factors contributing to caregiving willingness of family members of ICU patients and advance the science related to family engagement in the ICU. Additionally, it could be used as a practical tool to suggest family caregiving activities in the ICU.PMID:38688853 | DOI:10.4037/ajcc2024809 (Source: American Journal of Critical Care)

Early Mobility Index and Patient Outcomes: A Retrospective Study in Multiple Intensive Care Units
CONCLUSIONS: More daily out-of-bed mobility for ICU patients was associated with shorter mechanical ventilation duration and hospital stays, suggesting a dose-response relationship between daily mobility and patient outcomes. However, relationships differed across ICU subpopulations.PMID:38688854 | DOI:10.4037/ajcc2024747 (Source: American Journal of Critical Care)

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...

Mechanical ventilation in older adults with dementia: opportunities to promote goal-concordant care
CONCLUSION: Future efforts to promote goal-concordant care surrounding mechanical ventilation use for people living with dementia should involve identifying barriers to goal-concordant care in pre-hospital settings, assessing the timeliness of in-hospital GOCD, and developing strategies for in-the-moment crisis communication across settings.PMID:38685288 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2024.04.021 (Source: Pain Physician)

The Effect of Predictive Nursing Care for the Treatment of Senile Cerebral Tumors Treated by Craniotomy
CONCLUSION: The provision of predictive nursing care to patients with senile cranial tumors treated with craniotomy can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative intracranial infection, and the nursing effect is better for patients with or without intracranial infection, which can significantly contribute to the quality of life quality improvement and effectively enhance patients' satisfaction. Further research is imperative to evaluate and promote the practice as a significant toolkit in clinical practice. Future investigations should focus on the enduring impact of predictive nursing interventions in senile cereb...

Factors Influencing Iatrogenic Skin Injury in Neonates and Nursing Strategies
CONCLUSION: Length of stay, orotracheal intubation use, and gastric tube use are independent risk factors for iatrogenic skin injury in neonates. Hospital stays and unnecessary use of orotracheal intubation and gastric tube should be reduced in future clinical management. Attention should be paid to strengthening skin observation and care, keeping skin dry and clean, and preventing iatrogenic skin injury.PMID:38687850 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Impact of Rank, Provider Specialty, and Unit Sustainment Training Frequency on Military Critical Care Air Transport Team Readiness
CONCLUSION: Our main result is that simple readily available metrics available to unit commanders can identify those members at risk for poor performance at CCAT Advanced readiness training; these include RNs with rank Major or above, RTs with rank Senior Airman, and RTs who engage in unit sustainment training less often than monthly. Finally, MD specialties which are nontraditional for CCAT have significantly lower CCAT Advanced passing rates, reserve/guard students did not outperform active duty students, there was no difference in the performance between different RN specialties, and for MD and RN students' previous dep...

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)
