Coping strategies of intensive care unit nurses reducing moral distress: A content analysis study
DISCUSSION: The intensive care unit nurses in dealing with ethical problems first try to solve the problem through discussion, but when they fail to resolve it peacefully, they resort to several coping strategies. Factors, such as increasing experience, lack of support from hospital managers and officials, poor communication between colleagues, the need to maintain hierarchy, fear of reprimand, and a sense of powerlessness, changed the nurses' preferred strategies. It is important for managers to provide a blame/punishment-free atmosphere for expression of ethical experiences; a supportive atmosphere in which staff can eng...

Sleep quality and screen time among university professors: impact of emergency remote teaching amidst COVID-19 crisis
CONCLUSION: This study among university professors underscores the impact of screen time on sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants faced poor sleep, largely influenced by heightened screen time due to ERT. Considering these findings, this study emphasizes the importance of curbing daytime screen exposure and abstaining from screens in the evening, especially for university professors reliant on technology for their professional responsibilities.PMID:38632182 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03030-3 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

“I wouldn't have felt so alone”: The sexual health education experiences of transgender and gender diverse youth living in the southeastern United States
ConclusionThere is much work needed to improve the breadth, quality, and relevance of school-based sexual health education. Sexual health education can improve by strengthening critical media literacy skills of youth; raising staff cultural competency on gender, race, and sexual identity through training and supports; using culturally relevant and inclusive curricula; and partnering with community-based organizations. Transgender and gender diverse youth would benefit from sexual health education from multiple sources which is queer-friendly, affirms their existence, and provides information on gender, race, and sexuality ...

Multicenter evaluation of complex urinary diversion for renal transplantation: outcomes of complex surgical solutions
ConclusionThe mid-term kidney transplant function with complex urinary diversion appears to be comparable to transplants with regular urinary diversions. Hence, complex urinary diversion should always be considered as a surgical option, even during transplantation, if necessary. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Utility of the LACE index to assess risk of mortality and readmission in patients with spinal infections
AbstractRetrospective cohort study. To assess the utility of the LACE index for predicting death and readmission in patients with spinal infections (SI). SIs are severe conditions, and their incidence has increased in recent years. The LACE (Length of stay, Acuity of admission, Comorbidities, Emergency department visits) index quantifies the risk of mortality or unplanned readmission. It has not yet been validated for SIs. LACE indices were calculated for all adult patients who underwent surgery for spinal infection between 2012 and 2021. Data were collected from a single academic teaching hospital. Outcome measures includ...

Young toads are teaching Australian lizards to avoid deadly snacks
Releasing 200,000 eggs and young of a toxic invasive species might seem to be a sure way to make a bad situation worse. But by doing just that in Western Australia, conservation biologists have begun to rescue the region’s largest lizard.
Yellow spotted monitor lizards usually die after eating a single adult cane toad, an introduced pest with toxic skin secretions that has wreaked havoc on Australia’s native wildlife. But if these lizards first taste the species’ young, which are only slightly toxic, the predators learn to avoid eating the lethal adults. As a result,
they survive even after a wave of adult...

How Nurse Faculty in Saudi Arabia View Their Competencies in All Aspects of the Faculty Role: A Descriptive Study
This study used a quantitative descriptive survey with a sample of 92 participants to assess perceived nurse faculty competency in their role at Saudi Arabian universities. Participants' perceptions overall were highly positive in the areas of teaching, scholarship, and service competencies. Participants reported less competence in the areas of scholarship and service when they started in their role. Orientation and a mentor relationship with senior faculty were reported to aid in their transition to the faculty role. The findings of the study identify strategies to support the new nurse educator.PMID:38625709 | DOI:10.109...
