The effect of combining an e-learning module with s Virtual Dementia Tour® on knowledge and attitudes toward person-centered dementia care in prelicensure nursing education.

Background: Due to the global prevalence of dementia the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease recommended that healthcare professionals prepare to address the complex needs of people with dementia.

Navigating the Complexities of Dementia Care: The Lived Experiences of Black American Family Caregivers.

Black American individuals have a higher rate of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) diagnoses compared to other racial/ethnic groups, and their family caregiver population is expected to increase rapidly over the next 2 decades. The current study aimed to explore Black American women's experiences caring for family members with ADRD. An interpretative phenomenology approach was used to gain a deeper understanding of the caregiving experiences of Black American women.

Development and Validation of Dementia Care Content in Nursing Curricula Instrument-Revised.

Understanding the extent to which dementia care content is integrated into curricula is vital to prepare the nursing workforce to provide quality dementia care. To revise and examine the content validity of the Dementia Care Content in Nursing Curricula Instrument (DCCNCI), an instrument for assessing dementia care content in prelicensure nursing curricula. We generated additional items and refined the original DCCNCI.

Impact of experiential dementia care learning on knowledge, skills and attitudes of nursing students: A systematic literature review.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize evidence on the effect of clinical experiential learning approaches on pre-licensure nursing students' competence in dementia care and to identify associated challenges.

Background: As the prevalence of dementia increases, nurse educators must proactively prepare pre-licensure nursing students to care for people living with dementia. The limited number of physical clinical learning settings, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic, has caused many nursing programs to use alternative experiential learning approaches.

A qualitative study of nuisance bleeding and medication-related beliefs with dual antiplatelet drug therapy.

Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore perceptions of nuisance bleeding and medication-related beliefs among adults taking dual antiplatelet drug therapy.

Methods: We conducted qualitative telephone interviews with 34 community-dwelling adults with cardiovascular disease.

Results: Using qualitative content analysis, we identified 4 dominant themes: nuisance bruising, nuisance bleeding, importance of medication adherence, and duration of therapy.

Dementia Care Content in Prelicensure Nursing Curricula: A Pilot Mixed-Methods Study.

Background: Having a nursing workforce equipped to provide quality care for patients living with dementia is essential. The purpose of this study was to investigate how undergraduate nursing programs integration of dementia care content into their curricula.

Motivational groups support adherence to antiretroviral therapy and use of risk reduction behaviors in HIV positive Nigerian women: a pilot study.

Nigerian women comprise the fastest growing group of persons with AIDS in Africa. Antiretroviral therapy has transformed the course of HIV/AIDS to a treatable, chronic illness worldwide. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the efficacy of a group intervention using motivational interviewing (MI) to promote adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and use of risk reduction behaviors (RRB) among HIV-infected women in Nigeria.

Nations' income inequality predicts ambivalence in stereotype content: how societies mind the gap.

Income inequality undermines societies: The more inequality, the more health problems, social tensions, and the lower social mobility, trust, life expectancy. Given people's tendency to legitimate existing social arrangements, the stereotype content model (SCM) argues that ambivalence-perceiving many groups as either warm or competent, but not both-may help maintain socio-economic disparities. The association between stereotype ambivalence and income inequality in 37 cross-national samples from Europe, the Americas, Oceania, Asia, and Africa investigates how groups' overall warmth-competence, status-competence, and competition-warmth correlations vary across societies, and whether these variations associate with income inequality (Gini index).
