Meta-analysis of the predictive factors of postpartum fatigue
Nearly 64% of new mothers are affected by fatigue during the postpartum period, making it the most common problem that a woman faces as she adapts to motherhood. Postpartum fatigue can lead to serious negative effects on the mother's health and the newborn's development and interfere with mother-infant interaction. The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify predictive factors of postpartum fatigue and to document the magnitude of their effects using effect sizes. (Source: Applied Nursing Research : ANR)

Falls risk assessments: Too much, too little or just right?
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) hold great promise in improving nursing care and patient outcomes by providing electronic assistance to clinicians in the form of reminders, evidence based practice guidelines and standard order sets among other things. However, research on patient outcomes as a result of CDSS generally find that while provider behavior changes for the better, patient outcomes are not generally improved (Prgomet, Li, Niazkhani, Georgiou,& Westbrook, 2017) or are only minimally impacted (Jaspers, Smeulers, Vermeulen,& Peute, 2011; Jia, Zhang, Chen, Zhao,& Zhang, 2016).

Does recovery buffer against emotional labor in terms of motivational outcomes at work? Analyzing age differences among Finnish health care professionals
The aging population impacts on today's health care sector by depleting the workforce of healthcare professionals (), and by increasing the number of people needing medical care (see e.g., Cooper, Getzen, McKee,& Laud, 2002; Oulton, 2006; Parker& Thorslund, 2007). This puts health care professionals under pressure by forcing them to work faster, increasing their already high work stress and impairing their work ability. Due to a labor shortage in health care, there is an interest in retaining health care professionals in the workforce as long as possible. (Source: Applied Nursing Research : ANR)

CPAP nonadherence issues in a small sample of men with obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, affecting 13% of middle-aged men in the United States (Peppard et al., 2013). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment (Rakel, 2009), however, nonadherence is common (Aloia, Arnedt, Riggs, Hecht,& Borrelli, 2004; Olsen, Smith,& Oei, 2008; Weaver& Sawyer, 2010). Untreated OSA has been associated with many comorbidities that impact health-care burden (Glebocka, Kossowska,& Bednarek, 2006; Pack, 2006; Rakel, 2009); untreated OSA also impacts the ability to drive, work safely (Kjelsberg, Ruud,& Stavem, 2005; Ra...

Collaboration in discharge planning in relation to an implicit framework
As elderly people's needs are becoming more complex, healthcare and medical professionals are becoming more specialized to provide better care (WHO, 2015). New technology and specialization leads to safer and better healthcare, but it simultaneously increases the risks of unforeseen injuries from the new innovations (Leonard, Graham,& Bonacum, 2004). There is a demand for structured collaboration and communication to practice safe and integrated care as deficiencies in these aspects have been shown to risk patient safety (Shepperd et al., 2013).
