Patterns of Health Care Access and Use in an Urban American Indian and Alaska Native Population.

Studies of health care access and use among historically resilient populations, while common, often field a limited sample size and rarely ask the groups most impacted by health inequities to weigh in. This is especially so for research and programs that focus on the American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) population. The present study addresses this gap by examining data from a cross-sectional survey of AIANs in Los Angeles County.

Caregiving for Interstage Infants: A Continuous Process of Compromise During the Pandemic.

Infants born with single ventricle heart disease require in-home medicalized care during the interstage period (time between the first and second staged heart surgery). These caregivers rely on extended family, friends, and hired caretakers to provide respite time. However, the coronavirus pandemic removed these families' options due to stay-at-home and social distancing directives.

Caring in process: A 3-year qualitative longitudinal study of nursing students.

Aim: This paper aims to describe caring perceptions and behaviors among student nurses in Italy as they progress through their nursing education.

Background: As nursing students are potential nurses of the future, there is an expectation that in addition to appropriate academic qualifications, they will develop appropriate caring behaviors/attitudes. However, there has been some evidence that the educational process does not always modify their caring perceptions/behaviors or that the direction of the change is not always positive.

A Second Pandemic: Mental Health Spillover From the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created an unprecedented global health challenge.

Having to Be the One: Mothers Providing Home Care to Infants With Complex Cardiac Needs.

Background: Early diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease and advances in surgical interventions have resulted in remarkable improvements in prognoses and hospital survival. Although studies have provided insight into children's experiences with complex congenital heart disease after hospitalization, few have addressed parents' experiences providing care for infants with complex congenital heart disease who are discharged home with complex care needs after surgical palliation.

Objectives: To describe the perceptions and lived experiences of mothers of infants who were discharged from the hospital after surgery for complex congenital heart disease but were then readmitted to the hospital.

Assessing Informal and Formal Diabetes Knowledge in African American Older Adults With Uncontrolled Diabetes.

Some researchers attribute the excess rates of diabetes complications among African American older adults compared to other racial/ethnic subgroups to low diabetes knowledge. Diabetes knowledge measures have a biomedical orientation, including knowledge of glycemic control and using diet and exercise to control blood sugar. Measures do not assess informal knowledge that patients obtain outside of the clinical environment.

"Improving to where?": treatment-related health risks and perceptions of the future among adolescents and young adults after hematopoietic cell transplantation.
