Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of brain MRI in predicting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes (NDO) in infants suffering from severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, aiming to identify the best timing for conducting these MRIs.
- - Out of 732 studies screened, 22 were selected, analyzing MRI data from 120 infants; results showed a high positive predictive value (PPV) of abnormal MRI findings for impaired NDO, particularly when MRI was conducted after 6 weeks.
- - Despite the promising findings, the study faced limitations due to significant variations in study designs and possible selection bias, suggesting that more prospective research is needed to solidify these conclusions.
Nursing organizations are expected to make contributions to innovation in Healthcare. However, they are often not innovation ready. How do nursing organizations know how they are? What should nursing organizations do to become more ? In literature, there exists no consolidated resource to help nursing organizations to answer these questions.

Existing approaches to knowledge translation are often relatively rigid and implicitly assume linear processes, leading to time-consuming processes that are not tailored to countries' needs.
Approach: SRHR knowledge platforms designed and implemented a collaborative rapid improvement model for knowledge translation (CRIM-KT) in Burundi, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Jordan.
Article Synopsis
- Informal caregivers helping people who survived in the ICU can feel very stressed, sad, or anxious, which is called post-intensive care syndrome family (PICS-F).
- A study in Sweden looked at how these caregivers’ stress levels relate to the health of the patients they care for three months after being in the ICU.
- Results showed that caregivers dealing with patients who had serious health problems reported much higher stress and worse mental health compared to those with healthier patients, suggesting caregivers need better support.
Purpose: To develop an instrument for use at ICU discharge for prediction of psychological problems in ICU survivors.
Methods: Multinational, prospective cohort study in ten general ICUs in secondary and tertiary care hospitals in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. Adult patients with an ICU stay ≥ 12 h were eligible for inclusion.
