Article Synopsis
- * Over 16,000 patients were screened, revealing a high prevalence of CI (37.8%) and a significantly higher rate of hospital-acquired complications (HACs) in those with CI, but the intervention did not lead to a significant reduction in HAC rates.
- * The results showed variations in the program’s implementation across hospitals, and despite some slight overall reductions in HAC rates, these changes were not statistically significant, suggesting the need for further refinement in intervention strategies.

Background: Symptoms of emotional and physical stress near death may be related to previous experiences of trauma.
Objective: To investigate current evidence regarding the following: (1) Is previous trauma identified in people who are dying, and if so, how? (2) How is previous trauma associated with the experience of death/dying in people with or without cognitive impairment? and (3) What palliative care interventions are available to people with previous trauma at the end of life?
Design: This integrative review was conducted per Whittemore and Knafl's guidelines, which involves a stepped approach, specifically (1) problem identification, (2) literature search, (3) data evaluation, (4) data analysis and (5) presentation.
Methods: This integrative review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Aim: To critically evaluate missed care measurement approaches and their application in long-term aged care (LTAC) settings.
Design: Systematic review using Tawfik's guideline.
Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL and ProQuest were searched.
Aims: To explore the experience of registered nurses and their mentors in the implementation of the Gerontological Nursing Competencies in long-term aged care and the perceived effectiveness and suitability of the programme to support nurse development.
Background: The global population is ageing and needs a reliable aged-care nursing workforce.
Introduction: Opportunities for education and mentorship for newly qualified and experienced aged-care nurses warrant investigation.
