Hot Versus Cold Debriefing in a Nursing Context: An Integrative Review.

Background: Hot debriefing occurs shortly after simulations or real-life events, whereas cold debriefings occur after 24 hours. This integrative review examined the effects of hot versus cold debriefing after simulation on prelicensure students.

Method: Whittemore and Knafl's five-stage method was followed.

Maintenance of CPR skills among nursing students trained using Resuscitation Quality Improvement® program.

Background: The Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI) program is a competency-based approach that provides low dose, high frequency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills training. Limited research has evaluated its effectiveness with nursing students who need to be prepared to respond to cardiopulmonary emergencies despite their student status and to be competent in CPR as they transition into practice.

Objective: The objective of this multisite longitudinal study was to examine the maintenance of adult and infant compressions and ventilation skills by nursing students at 3 and 6 months following practice with real-time feedback using the RQI® program.

Development and Qualification of Visible Particle Load Analysis Methods for Injectable Drug Product Primary Packaging Components.

In the biopharmaceutical industry, the observation of a single particle in a vial or syringe may result in entire lots of drug product recalls. U.S.

Engaging Older Adults in a Depression Simulation Experience.

Background: Clinical simulation has become integral to curriculum development in nursing programs. This innovative intervention was designed to explore the efficacy of high-fidelity standardized patient (SP) simulation to increase students' ability to recognize signs of depression and to improve therapeutic communication.

Method: During a 12-month period, prelicensure nursing students ( = 136) in a midwestern nursing program participated in this simulation experience.

Pandemic-Related Disruptions in Nursing Education: Zooming Out for an Innovative Interprofessional Simulation.

When the COVID-19 global pandemic began, many higher education systems had to restructure their educational delivery system and transition to online learning. This posed a challenge for students in health professions education programs as it impacted their ability to participate in hands-on learning regarding patient care. As a result, the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing developed and implemented simulation-based learning experiences to allow graduate-level social worker, counselor, and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner students the opportunity to learn as an interdisciplinary team in a virtual format.

Predicting the potential of capacitive deionization for the separation of pH-dependent organic molecules.

One of the main steps in the biotechnological production of chemical building blocks, such as, e.g. bio-based succinic acid which is used for lubricants, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals, is the isolation and purification of the target molecule.

Adsorption of organic molecules on carbon surfaces: Experimental data and molecular dynamics simulation considering multiple protonation states.

Owing to their high specific surface and low production cost, carbon materials are among the most important adsorption materials. Novel usages, for instance in pharmaceutical applications, challenge existing methods because charged and strongly polar substances need to be adsorbed. Here, we systematically investigate the highly complex adsorption equilibria of organic molecules having multiple protonation states as a function of pH.

Role of the clinical learning environment in preparing new clinicians to engage in quality improvement efforts to eliminate health care disparities.

Purpose: The National Collaborative for Improving the Clinical Learning Environment offers guidance to health care leaders for engaging new clinicians in efforts to eliminate health care disparities.

Summary: To address health care disparities that are pervasive across the United States, individuals at all levels of the health care system need to commit to ensuring equity in care. Engaging new clinicians is a key element of any systems-based approach, as new clinicians will shape the future of health care delivery.

Maximizing Effectiveness of the Holistic Admission Process: Implementing the Multiple Mini Interview Model.

Background: Nursing programs have responsibility to become more holistic in admission practices, ensuring they admit applicants based on more than grades and test scores to determine the best fit for their program.

Problem: One frequently cited holistic admissions barrier is incorporating qualitative measurement of applicant characteristics through interviews. Finding the best interview model is a challenge, depending on a program's intent to learn about applicants.

Filtration Isolation of Nucleic Acids: A Simple and Rapid DNA Extraction Method.

FINA, filtration isolation of nucleic acids, is a novel extraction method which utilizes vertical filtration via a separation membrane and absorbent pad to extract cellular DNA from whole blood in less than 2 min. The blood specimen is treated with detergent, mixed briefly and applied by pipet to the separation membrane. The lysate wicks into the blotting pad due to capillary action, capturing the genomic DNA on the surface of the separation membrane.
