Article Synopsis
- A lot of nursing schools are starting to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help teach students, but there's not enough info on how to do it well.
- The study looked at how AI is being used in nursing education by reviewing articles from different sources.
- The findings showed that AI is often used alongside other teaching methods, and more research is needed to understand its effectiveness better.
Background And Purpose: Medication errors occur at alarming rates. Safe medication administration practices require more than observing patient safety rights and psychomotor skills. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between clinical judgment skills and reasoning processes and safe medication practices in senior nursing students.

- The 4th International Neuroscience Nursing Research Symposium took place in August 2020, focusing on sharing global research in neuroscience nursing, particularly regarding pain assessment and opioid use for pain management.
- Neuroscience nurses face unique challenges in pain management influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors, with various barriers including poverty and opioid phobia affecting patient care.
- Collaborative summaries from nurses in multiple countries highlighted the impact of cultural and spiritual traditions on the experience of pain and the complexities of delivering effective pain management across diverse populations.
Background: Adhering to an antithrombotic medication regimen is essential to reducing recurrent stroke in adult stroke survivors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the SystemCHANGE (SC) and attention control (AC) intervention in older adult, nonadherent ischemic stroke patients.
Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an SC versus AC intervention in older adult, nonadherent stroke survivors in the management of antithrombotic medication.
Acute flaccid myelitis is a poliolike illness affecting mainly children, which seems to occur every 2 years in the late summer and early fall. The 2018 outbreak was alarming to parents and healthcare providers because the etiology is still under investigation and long-term outcomes are unclear. Becoming familiar with what is known about the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of acute flaccid myelitis enables neuroscience nurses to disseminate accurate information and recognize and report suspicious symptoms.

Medication adherence increased immediately and was sustained throughout the intervention and maintenance phases. This is the first case study to demonstrate effectiveness of the SystemCHANGE intervention for promoting medication adherence in a kidney transplant recipient.

Despite recommendations to avoid recurrence from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, medication adherence (MA) in persons with chronic conditions such as stroke is only 50%.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to synthesize randomized controlled trial intervention studies designed to increase MA in adult stroke survivors.
