Influence of Preterm Birth and Environmental Context on Academic Performance and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes.

Background: Preterm birth affects 10% of all births annually in the United States. Outcomes of people born preterm are challenging to predict because of multiple influences, including gestational age, birth weight, and social and environmental contexts, that contribute to an individual's growth and developmental trajectory. The influence of toxic stress is underrepresented in the literature assessing preterm birth outcomes.

Disseminating Methods in Nursing Research.

Research methods papers are a valuable resource to researchers and clinicians that highlight novel yet effective methodologies and approaches to conducting research. Clinicians can use the knowledge generated from unique research methods to conduct quality, evidence-based practice, and quality improvement projects, and nurse researchers can benefit from the lessons learned by others to improve the rigor of future studies. This paper defines research methods papers, provides an overview of their importance, including examples from the literature, and highlights important considerations when writing and disseminating the findings of research methods.

The concept of capability in pre-registration nursing education: A scoping review.

Perception of Physicians' Notes Among Parents of Different Health Literacy Levels.

Objectives: To explore the benefits and challenges of accessing physicians' notes during pediatric hospitalization across parents of different health literacy levels.

Methods: For this secondary analysis, we used semi-structured interviews conducted with 28 parents on their impressions of having access to their child's care team notes on a bedside table. Three researchers used thematic analysis to develop a codebook, coded interview data, and identified themes.

Physician Work-Personal Intersection: A Scoping Review of Terms, Definitions, and Measures.

Purpose: A substantial body of evidence describes the multidimensional relationship between the intersection of physicians' work and personal lives and health care quality and costs, workforce sustainability, and workplace safety culture. However, there is no clear consensus on the terms, definitions, or measures used in physician work-personal intersection (WPI) research. In this scoping review, the authors aimed to describe the terms and definitions used by researchers to describe physician WPI, summarize the measurement tools used, and formulate a conceptual model of WPI that can inform future research.

Human Factors Engineering for the Pediatric Hospitalist.

As pediatrics hospitalists, we care for a diverse population of hospitalized children with increasing acuity and complexity in large, multidisciplinary medical teams.
