A Mental Health Innovation for Nurse Home Visiting Program Shows Effectiveness in Reducing Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety.

The objective of this paper is to report on the effectiveness of a mental health addition to a national nurse-delivered home visiting program. The methods are as follows: analysis of pre/post-launch of the standard Mental Health Intervention and comparison of 356 teams randomized to standard versus enhanced implementation. Stepwise regression controlled for significant client characteristics that were related to relevant outcomes.

Mental Health-Related Barriers and Facilitators to PhD Program Retention among Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Minoritized (UREM) Nursing Students: A Qualitative Inquiry.

Mental health concerns among doctorate (PhD) nursing students may impact program retention, especially among underrepresented racial-/ethnic-minoritized (UREM) students. Understanding mental health concerns among UREM PhD students is necessary to develop retention strategies. We conducted a qualitative secondary data analysis of a descriptive study with focus groups and individual semi-structured interviews.

Barriers and facilitators to recruitment and retention of underrepresented racial and ethnic minoritized students to PhD programs in nursing: A qualitative descriptive study.

Background: There is a global shortage of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)-trained nurses, which is amplified among underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who are minoritized.

Purpose: This study explores barriers and facilitators to recruiting under-represented racial-ethnic group who are minoritized (UREM) PhD nursing students, defined as African American, Black, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Hispanic/Latinx.

Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, interviews of 23 UREM PhD nursing students were analyzed with conventional content analysis.

Implementing mental health interventions within a national nurse home visiting program: A mixed-methods evaluation.

Background: Up to half of low-income mothers experience symptoms of depression and anxiety that affect their well-being and increase their children's risk for behavioral and emotional problems. To address this problem, an engaged research/practice planning team designed the Mental Health Innovation (MHI), a multicomponent implementation strategy that integrates evidence-based mental health interventions within the national Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP). The MHI includes four implementation strategies: online training modules, clinical resources, team meeting modules, and virtual consultation.

Developing a multicomponent implementation strategy for mental health interventions within the Nurse-Family Partnership: An application of the EPIS framework.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe the process used to create the Mental Health Innovation (MHI), a multicomponent implementation strategy that integrates evidence-based mental health interventions into the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), a national home visiting program delivered by nurses to low-income mothers.

Organizing Construct: The Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework outlines the multistep, stakeholder-engaged process used to develop the MHI.

Conclusion: Engaging stakeholders provided an in-depth understanding of NFP infrastructure and the needs of NFP nurses and their clients.

Nurses' attitudes towards their jobs in outpatient human immunodeficiency virus facilities in Namibia: A qualitative descriptive study.

Aim: The aims were to (1) describe nurses' attitudes towards their jobs, (2) identify factors that contribute to nurses' job attitudes and (3) examine how nurses' job attitudes affect their ability to perform their jobs.

Background: Nurses' job attitudes affect their ability to do their jobs well.

Methods: This was a qualitative descriptive study of 18 semi-structured interviews with nurses who work in rural health facilities.

Uncovering Burdens, Examining Needs, and Shedding Assumptions of Evidence-Based Social Support Programs for Mothers: A Descriptive Qualitative Study in a Remote Community.

Many studies have demonstrated a significant burden of maternal stress and depression for women living on the Galápagos Islands. Here, we aim to uncover burdens and needs of women with young children on San Cristóbal Island and then explore options for implementing evidence-based programs of social support to meet these needs. We conducted 17 semi-structured qualitative interviews with mothers of young children, healthcare workers, and community stakeholders.

A community-engaged approach to investigate cardiovascular-associated inflammation among American Indian women: A research protocol.

American Indian women are more likely to die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) than White or African American women. Inflammatory processes may underlie CVD disparities by gender and race and may be critical to understanding population-specific drivers and potential buffers. Exposure to environmental air pollutants, especially particulate matter (PM), is known to be an important catalyst in CVD-associated inflammation.

Developing a Postpartum Depression Screening and Referral Procedure in Pediatric Primary Care.

Introduction: Postpartum depression affects approximately 10% to 20% of mothers and impairs a mother's ability to engage with her child at an emotional and cognitive level, placing the child at greater risk for impaired development. Early diagnosis and management can reduce its negative impacts. Despite mothers being receptive to screening, screening rates are less than 50%.
