Sensor and Survey Measures Associated With Daily Fatigue in HIV: Findings From a Mixed-Method Study.

Fatigue is the most common symptom among people living with HIV (PLWH), but may have many causes. This mixed-method study was designed to characterize PLWH's fatigue experiences and associated self-management behaviors, using Two Minds Theory. Fifty-five PLWH completed daily smartphone surveys on psychological states and fatigue at random times for 30 days and used a Fitbit Alta™ wristband.

Use of Electronic Health Records by Nurses for Symptom Management in Inpatient Settings: A Systematic Review.

Symptom management is one of the essential functions of nurses in inpatient settings; yet, little is understood about the manner in which nurses use electronic health records for symptom documentation. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to characterize nurses' use of electronic health records for documentation of symptom assessment and management in inpatient settings, to inform design studies that better support electronic health records for patient symptom management by nurses. We searched the Ovid Medline (1946-current), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (EBSCO, 1981-current), and Excerpta Medica Database (Embase.

Mentoring Clinical Nurses to Write for Publication: Strategies for Success.

: Clinical nurses often find writing a challenge, but it's important to disseminate clinical practice initiatives that result in notable patient outcomes. Nurses have a responsibility to share what they do to improve patient care. The increased emphasis on the development and evaluation of evidence-based practice has made it necessary for nurses to share best practices that are associated with improved patient outcomes.

Skin Irritation during Video-EEG Monitoring.

Objectives: Video-EEG (VEEG) monitoring, indicated to characterize and diagnose seizures, is recorded over several days with electrodes glued to the patient's scalp. Our investigation was designed to determine the incidence of electrode-related skin irritation during VEEG in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) and implement a series of interventions to reduce the incidence of moderate to severe irritation.

Methods: Between May 2012 and March 2015, EMU patients were assessed for skin lesions before electrode placement and at discharge.

Mapping the organization: a bibliometric analysis of nurses' contributions to the literature.

Objective: The aim of this study was to map an academic hospital's nursing contributions to the literature using bibliometric methods.

Background: Nurse executives continue to search for ways to share knowledge gained in the clinical setting. Manuscripts from clinical nurses must increase to advance the science of nursing practice and nursing administration.

Peer-to-peer nursing rounds and hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevalence in a surgical intensive care unit: a quality improvement project.

We conducted a quality improvement project in order to evaluate the effect of nurse-to-nurse bedside "rounding" as a strategy to decrease hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU) in a surgical intensive care unit. We instituted weekly peer-to-peer bedside skin rounds in a 17-bed surgical intensive care unit. Two nurses were identified as skin champions and trained by the hospital's certified WOC nurse to conduct skin rounds.
