Employers' requests when advertising for nurses-A national mapping of recruitment advertising for nurses in Sweden.

Introduction: There is a shortage of nurses and many are leaving the profession. Maintaining sufficient nursing staff is a major healthcare challenge for societies worldwide. Work conditions, job orientation, and career opportunities all factor into nurses' rates of attrition, exit, and turnover.

InCHARGE: Co-creating, implementing and evaluating interventions to utilize nurses' competence and achieve person-centred fundamental care-A research protocol describing an action research approach.

Aim And Objectives: This research protocol presents an action research project with the aim to demonstrate the value of person-centred fundamental care to nurses and nurse managers in surgical care units to encourage a far-reaching change in this direction. The objectives are to describe this process and to evaluate the effects on missed nursing care and person-centred fundamental care.

Methods: In a novel collaboration between nursing science and medical humanities the action research design will be used to interact with nursing staff and leaders in three surgical care units and design interventions with the purpose to affect the direction of nursing.

Missed nursing care in surgical care- a hazard to patient safety: a quantitative study within the inCHARGE programme.

Background: Missed nursing care occurs globally, and the consequences are severe for the patients when fundamental care needs are not fulfilled, nor delivered in a person-centred way. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and cause of missed nursing care, and the relationship between registered nurses' and nursing assistants' perceptions of missed nursing care, in a surgical care context.

Methods: A quantitative study was performed using the MISSCARE survey, measuring missed nursing care and associated reasons, in three surgical wards with registered nurses and nursing assistants as the participants (n = 118), during May-November in 2022.

Oral health and oral care in patients in a surgical context: A quantitative study comparing patients' and nurses' assessments.

Aims: To investigate fundamental care delivery regarding oral care in a surgical context, and to compare patients' self-reported oral health with registered nurse assessments.

Design: A descriptive and comparative study, with a consecutive selection.

Methods: A patient oral health rating tool, including questions about performed oral care, was distributed to patients (n = 50), at four surgical wards in Sweden.

Effective learning activity to facilitate post-graduate nursing students' utilization of nursing theories - Using the fundamentals of care framework.

Aims: To explore how postgraduate nursing students used the Fundamentals of Care framework in a written assignment based on a clinical situation, and describe their learning process in using the framework.

Design: A qualitative descriptive study design applying the Fundamentals of Care framework.

Methods: Postgraduate nursing students' theoretical written assignments (n = 35) based on self-experienced clinical cases were included.

Cranberry juice concentrate does not significantly decrease the incidence of acquired bacteriuria in female hip fracture patients receiving urine catheter: a double-blind randomized trial.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication among patients with hip fractures. Receiving an indwelling urinary catheter is a risk factor for developing UTIs. Treatment of symptomatic UTIs with antibiotics is expensive and can result in the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Does nutritional intervention for patients with hip fractures reduce postoperative complications and improve rehabilitation?

Aims And Objectives: The aims were to investigate whether there were any differences between patients receiving nutritional intervention preoperatively and over five days postoperatively and patients who did not, in terms of postoperative complications, rehabilitation, length of stay and food and liquid intake.

Background: Patients with hip fractures are often malnourished at admission to hospital and they typically do not receive the energy and calories needed postoperatively.

Design: The design was a quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test comparison group design without random group assignment.
