Trial-Based Economic Evaluations of Supported Employment for Adults with Severe Mental Illness: A Systematic Review.

To identify, appraise, and summarize outcomes reported in trial-based economic evaluations of Individual Placement and Support programs for adults with severe mental illness. Six databases were searched, including Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus, and EconLit. Inclusion criteria were trial-based, full economic evaluations comparing Individual Placement and Support programs to traditional vocational rehabilitation programs for adults 18 years and older with severe mental illness.

Associations between Developmental Assets and Adolescent Health Status: Findings from the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health.

Background: Developmental assets foster positive health outcomes among adolescents, but have not been studied in adolescents with chronic illness or depression, two conditions that impact behaviors in school. We examined parent-reported assets in a national sample of adolescents and compared the number and types of assets by health statuses.

Methods: Data were from the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health (N = 15,734 adolescents), which captured 15 of 40 assets in the Developmental Assets Framework.

Primary care nurse practitioner burnout and perceptions of quality of care.

Background: Burnout threatens patient care and clinicians are experiencing challenges within the practice environment. Little is known about nurse practitioner (NP) perceptions of burnout and its relationship to care quality and practice environment. We investigate the relationship between primary care NP burnout on perceptions of care quality and if the practice environment moderates the relationship between burnout and care quality.

Primary care Practice Environment and Burnout among Nurse Practitioners.

Poor practice environments contribute to burnout, but favorable environments containing support, resources, autonomy, and optimal relations with colleagues may prevent burnout. Compared to all nurse practitioners (NPs), 69% of these NPs provide primary care to patients, yet it is unknown whether the practice environment is associated with NP burnout. A study to examine environmental factors related to NP burnout was conducted.

Developmental Assets of Adolescents and Young Adults With Chronic Illness and Comorbid Depression: Qualitative Study Using YouTube.

Background: Developmental assets provide a framework for optimizing development among adolescents but have not been studied in adolescents with chronic illness and comorbid depression, which is a group at risk for poor health outcomes. YouTube postings provide valuable insights to understand this understudied population.

Objective: This study aims to explore asset development from the perspectives of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with chronic illness and comorbid depression.

Use of multifunctional electronic health records and burnout among primary care nurse practitioners.

Background: Prevalence of electronic health records (EHRs) has significantly increased, and EHRs are a known contributor to clinician burnout. However, it is unknown whether the use of multifunctional EHRs is associated with nurse practitioner (NP) burnout in primary care practices. This is a major gap in the literature because 69% of practicing NPs deliver primary care services to patients.

Longitudinal Relationships Between Depression and Chronic Illness in Adolescents: An Integrative Review.

Introduction: Depression is prevalent among adolescents with chronic illness. However, little is known about how depression affects chronic illness over time. This review aimed to synthesize longitudinal relationships between depression and disease control, self-management behaviors, illness-related morbidity, and quality of life.

Predictors and Outcomes of Burnout Among Primary Care Providers in the United States: A Systematic Review.

Primary care providers (PCPs) in the United States work in challenging environments and may be at risk for burnout. This article identifies the predictors and outcomes of burnout among PCPs in the United States. A comprehensive literature search of eight databases was conducted to identify studies investigating predictors or outcomes of PCP burnout.

Illness acceptance in adolescents: A concept analysis.

Aim: To strengthen the theoretical understanding of illness acceptance in adolescents and to inform healthcare strategies geared toward supporting adolescents with chronic illness.

Background: Illness acceptance is associated with positive health outcomes. Though well understood in adults with chronic illness, less is known about how this phenomenon ensues in adolescents.

Delivery room triage of large for gestational age infants of diabetic mothers.

Objective: To review our 4-year experience (2008-2011) with delivery room triage of large for gestational age infants of diabetic mothers.

Design/methods: Retrospective cohort investigation of 311 large for gestational age infants of diabetic mothers (White's Class A1 (77), A2 (87), B (77), and C-R (70)).

Results: Of 311 women, 31% delivered at 34-36 weeks gestational age and 69% at term.

Anisotropic scattering effects of a gyrotropic sphere characterized using the T-matrix method.

Solutions for characterizing both electromagnetic wave propagation in, and scattering by, a gyrotropic sphere are obtained based on some recently published literature. Both gyrotropic permittivity and permeability tensors are considered herein, and both transmitted internal fields and scattered external fields are derived theoretically. Compared with problems of a uniaxial sphere, a gyroelectric sphere, and a gyromagnetic sphere, the scattering problem considered here is found to be astonishingly complicated but more generalized in formulation and solution procedure.
