Patient delay in seeking treatment for acute coronary syndrome and stroke symptoms is the major factor limiting delivery of definitive these conditions. Despite decades research public education campaigns aimed at decreasing patient times, most patients still do not seek a timely manner. In this scientific statement, we summarize evidence that (1) demonstrates benefits early treatment, (2) describes extent problem delay, (3) identifies factors related to (4) reveals inadequacies our current...
Background: Life stresses and negative emotions, such as anxiety depression, are associated with adverse cardiac events, including arrhythmia. Patients undergoing implantation of an automatic internal cardioverter defibrillator provide a unique opportunity to characterize these relationships since all tachyarrhythmia episodes recorded by the device. Objectives: The purpose this study was examine association emotional status after (ICD) subsequent arrhythmia events. Methods: An analysis data...
Purpose/Objectives: To examine the scope and severity of subjective sleep-wake disturbances in patients with lung cancer compare them to a group healthy adults who were similar age, gender, race, impact on measures health-related quality life (QOL).
Optimism, coping strategies, and psychological functional outcomes were measured in 55 women undergoing coronary artery surgery. Data collected in-hospital at 1, 6, 12 months after Optimism was related to positive moods life satisfaction, inversely negative moods. Few relationships found between optimism ability. Cognitive strategies accounted for a mediating effect mood. Optimists more likely accept their situation, less use escapism. In turn, these mood mediated the relationship this...

Chronic stable angina pectoris, the chest pain associated with reversible myocardial ischemia has detrimental effects on health-related quality of life, particularly in women. The limited research gender differences chronic suggests that may be experienced differently women and report greater functional disability related to symptoms. No studies have examined from a multidimensional perspective or included reliable valid measures would facilitate comparing patients other populations. purpose...
Background Quality, safe patient care is dependent on graduates who are proficient in the psychomotor skills of nursing. Competent skill acquisition and retention key to reducing skill-based errors risk adverse events. Purpose The purpose this study was explore effect deliberate practice combined with during high-fidelity simulation (HFS) scenarios urinary catheter insertion competency prelicensure nursing students.

ABSTRACT Aim To identify barriers and facilitators to implementation of new evidence‐based nursing policies among nurse educators. Background Evidence‐based practice promotes safe patient care through the combination best available research, clinical expertise preferences. Policies are utilised by drive thus should be evidence‐based. Nurse educators identified as champions policy dissemination. Therefore, understanding educators' perceptions surrounding attitudes regarding can help...
Abstract Objective This report describes the implementation and evaluation of a unique escape room game/unfolding public health preparedness simulation into nursing education. The innovative approach was designed to teach disease investigation, epidemiological principles, technical skills such as tuberculosis (TB) skin testing techniques. Methods room/unfolding implemented with 29 pre-licensure students involved game-like activities well realistic disaster scenario standardized patients....
With the call for curriculum that meets educational needs of nurses in 21st century, American Association Colleges Nursing provided nine essentials baccalaureate nursing education The Essentials Baccalaureate Education Professional Practice, which serves as a critical guide to inform and shape program curricula. programs must demonstrate outcomes reflect all essentials. Human patient simulation was specifically acknowledged an appropriate tool meeting these needs. This article identifies...
Addressing threats to the nursing and public health workforce, while also strengthening skills of current future workers, requires programmatic solutions. Training programs should be guided by frameworks, which leverage expertise leadership, partnerships, integrate ongoing evaluation.
Objective In this pilot study, we used untargeted metabolomics to identify biochemical mechanisms or biomarkers potentially underlying SLE-related fatigue. Methods Metabolon conducted metabolomic plasma profiling using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry on samples of 23 Black females with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 21 no SLE controls. Fatigue phenotypes general fatigue, physical mental reduced activity, motivation were measured the reliable valid...
Angina pectoris causes substantial psychological and functional disability adversely effects health-related quality of life, particularly in women. Studies cardiac disease-specific life women with coronary artery disease angina are limited because little reliability validity data for these instruments exist Therefore, the purpose this study was to examine Seattle Questionnaire (SAQ), a disease-related quality-of-life measure, sample chronic stable angina. A secondary analysis performed on...

High-fidelity human patient simulation (HFHPS) is an innovative teaching tool. However, limited data exist regarding factors affecting faculty use of HFHPS in undergraduate nursing education. Using a convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design, predictors (N = 139) were explored. Data collected using Web-based survey. Results indicated high percentage programs but low HFHPSs substituting for traditional clinical hours. Faculty who substituted hours with had lower self-efficacy beliefs around...
