Original Research: Nurses' Self-Assessed Knowledge, Attitudes, and Educational Needs Regarding Patients with Substance Use Disorder.

Background: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic illness, but it's often seen as an intentional choice rather than as a disease. People with SUD are frequently stigmatized, leading to disparate care. Findings from previous studies have indicated that nurses feel inadequately prepared to care for, and tend to have negative attitudes toward, patients with SUD.

A model to understand antecedents of nursing attitudes and perceptions influencing outcomes of patients with SUD.

Introduction: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a persistent and long-standing public health issue in the United States. While SUD is medically considered a chronic illness, it is also one that is viewed as self-inflicted, thereby resulting in judgmental attitudes and stigmatization from care providers, specifically from nurses.

Design: In 2020, the authors completed an analytical cross-sectional study that included open-ended questions to examine nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward caring for patients with SUD across practice settings.

Nursing Faculty Workload: Balancing Fiscal Responsibility and Faculty Satisfaction.

Background: Nursing faculty and nursing program administrators share the goal of equitable faculty workload. Faculty teaching assignments and other academic workload can affect productivity and faculty satisfaction.

Problem: Models for workload calculation need to account for multiple factors including mission, faculty position and rank, faculty expertise, and financial resources.

Leadership, Teamwork, and Collaboration: The Lived Experience of Conducting Multisite Research Focused on Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Competencies in Academia.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore facilitators and barriers to conducting a multisite national study in nursing academia unsupported by grant funding.

Background: Scholarship focused on the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies stimulates opportunities for research and collaboration among nurse educators and clinicians. Twelve members of the QSEN Academic Task Force collaborated on a multisite study of the effectiveness of a QSEN teaching strategy and published the findings.

Experiences of transgender men in seeking gynecological and reproductive health care: a qualitative systematic review.

Objective: The objective of this review was to evaluate the experiences of transgender men in seeking gynecological and reproductive health care.

Introduction: Discrimination has led to barriers in care for the transgender community. This is most evident in gender-based care such as gynecological care.

Primary care services tailored for adult and adolescent homeless persons: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to explore existing literature on primary care services for adult and adolescent homeless persons, map the evidence and identify gaps in the literature.

Introduction: Homeless adults and adolescents have complicated health needs, increased need for services, and more barriers to care. Recipients of primary care services use less emergency and urgent care resources.

Experiences of homeless women in accessing health care in community-based settings: a qualitative systematic review.

Introduction: Homelessness among women is on the rise in the US and continues to be a concern globally. The challenges homeless women face are unique and vast, yet how they experience health care can greatly affect their desire to access health care in the future. The ability to shed light on what is meaningful to homeless women in their health care experiences can guide the changes necessary to provide appropriate patient-centered, impactful care with the goal of increasing access by this vulnerable population.

Nursing Students' Perceptions of Just Culture in Nursing Programs: A Multisite Study.

Background: While just culture is embraced in the clinical setting, just culture has not been systematically incorporated into nursing education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess prelicensure nursing student perceptions of just culture in academia.

Methods: Following a quantitative, descriptive design, the Just Culture Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (JCAT-NE) was used to measure just culture across multiple (N = 15) nursing programs.

Experiences of transgender men in seeking gynecological and reproductive health care: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

Objective: The purpose of this review is to synthesize the existing qualitative literature examining the experiences of transgender men seeking gynecological and reproductive health in all healthcare settings globally.

Introduction: Existing literature clearly identifies that fear of mistreatment and discrimination is an ongoing concern among the transgender community. Transgender men face challenges and barriers when seeking health care.

Promoting Nurse Retention Through Career Development Planning.

This is the second article in a new series about evidence-based practice (EBP) that builds on AJN's award-winning previous series-Evidence-Based Practice, Step by Step-published between 2009 and 2011 (to access the series, go to http://links.lww.com/AJN/A133).

Constructive Feedback Teaching Strategy: A Multisite Study of Its Effectiveness.

Aim: The study purpose was to describe students' perceptions of feedback after participating in a teaching strategy designed to foster a view of feedback as an opportunity for improvement.

Background: Although delivering and receiving constructive feedback are essential to the role of the professional nurse, feedback has been identified as a trigger for incivility in academia and practice.

Method: Twelve nurse educators from the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Academic Task Force, located at nine schools of nursing across the nation, implemented a presentation about giving and receiving constructive feedback in junior and senior courses.

Teaching Informatics to Prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, and Graduate Level Students.

Teaching nursing informatics to students in associate, baccalaureate, RN-BSN, and graduate nursing programs poses challenges for curriculum design, as well as developing appropriate instruction and assessment methods. The current state of nursing informatics education provides opportunities for unique instructional design and assessment techniques. Key course content is provided with suggestions for teaching informatics that focus on leveling for prelicensure, RN-BSN, and graduate nursing programs.

Experiences of incivility among faculty and students in online nursing education: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

The objective of this review is to synthesize available evidence of nursing faculty's and nursing students' experiences and perceptions of incivility in online education with the objective of identifying the meaning of incivility in online nursing education. The specific questions to be addressed by this review are.

The hospitalised patients' experience of being in protective/source isolation: A systematic review of qualitative evidence.

Background: The placement of hospitalised patients in isolation is either done to protect the immunocompromised patient from others (reverse or protective isolation) or to protect others from the patient's infectious process (isolation). Both situations require limiting the contact between the patient and others to prevent the spread of pathogens or to protect the immunocompromised patient. Isolating patients remains a primary treatment in the hospital setting.
