Fecal microbiota transplantation for the maintenance of remission in patients with ulcerative colitis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) is a promising new method for treating active ulcerative colitis (UC), but knowledge regarding FMT for quiescent UC is scarce.

Aim: To investigate FMT for the maintenance of remission in UC patients.

Methods: Forty-eight UC patients were randomized to receive a single-dose FMT or autologous transplant colonoscopy.

Associations Between Engagement with the BitHabit Digital Lifestyle Intervention and Changes in Type 2 Diabetes Risk Factors.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be prevented or delayed through a healthy lifestyle. Digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) may offer cost-effective and scalable means to support lifestyle changes. This study investigated associations between user engagement with a habit-formation-based DBCI, the BitHabit app, and changes in T2D risk factors over 12 months in 963 participants at risk of T2D.

Nursing managers' experiences of facing the COVID-19 pandemic in their work: A systematic review.

Aim: There is far little evidence available on nursing managers' experiences during this global crisis. This systematic review aimed to provide the first comprehensive summary of the findings of published studies describing data concerning nursing managers' experiences of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Design: Studies published between January 2019 and the end of December 2021 were retrieved from CINAHL, Medline and PubMed databases.

Real-world effectiveness of digital and group-based lifestyle interventions as compared with usual care to reduce type 2 diabetes risk - A stop diabetes pragmatic randomised trial.

Background: No real-world randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have explored the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions based on multiple behaviour change theories and using combined digital and group-based face-to-face delivery to improve risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: We conducted a one-year, multi-centre, unblinded, pragmatic RCT in primary healthcare using the habit formation, self-determination, and self-regulation theories among 2907 adults aged 18-74 years at increased T2D risk randomised into a digital lifestyle intervention group (DIGI, = 967), a combined digital and group-based lifestyle intervention group (DIGI+GROUP, = 971), and a control group receiving usual care (CONTROL, = 969). We collected data on primary outcomes (diet quality by Healthy Diet Index [HDI], physical activity, body weight, fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour plasma glucose) and secondary outcomes (sedentary time, waist circumference, fasting plasma insulin) using digital questionnaires, clinical examinations, fasting blood tests, and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance tests.

The Impact of Leadership in the Autonomy and Engagement of Nurses: A Cross-sectional Multicenter Study Among Nurses Outside the United States.

Objective: To add to the body of evidence regarding nurse engagement and related factors from a non-US sample of nurses.

Background: Leadership has a positive impact on nurses' autonomy and engagement experiences. It is necessary to explore the factors that explain the relationships between leadership, autonomy, and engagement level.
