Nurse educators' professional practice attributes and its determinants.

Background: Professional practice attributes of nurses help to promote nursing as a profession and advance nursing education. Nursing professionals need to demonstrate a high level of professional commitment to their practices and must be professionally competent to perform their roles.

Material And Methods: Descriptive survey was conducted at the nursing educational institutes affiliated with the Indian Nursing Council and situated in the selected Northern Indian states.

Factors Important to Older Adults Who Disagree With a Deprescribing Recommendation.

Importance: Little is known about why older adults decline deprescribing recommendations, primarily because interventional studies rarely capture the reasons.

Objective: To examine factors important to older adults who disagree with a deprescribing recommendation given by a primary care physician to a hypothetical patient experiencing polypharmacy.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This online, vignette-based survey study was conducted from December 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021, with participants 65 years or older in the United Kingdom, the US, Australia, and the Netherlands.

Reasons why older adults in three countries agreed with a deprescribing recommendation in a hypothetical vignette.

The purpose of this study was to examine factors important to older adults who agreed with a deprescribing recommendation given by a general practitioner (GP) to a hypothetical patient experiencing polypharmacy. We conducted an online, vignette-based, experimental study in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia with participants ≥65 years. The primary outcome was an agreement with a deprescribing recommendation (6-point Likert scale; 1 = strongly disagree and 6 = strongly agree).

Older adults experiencing polypharmacy preferred to continue their non-prescription products during a card sorting activity.

Objectives: To explore the extent to which adults 65-years and older who reported taking 10 or more non-prescription products were interested in deprescribing.

Methods: During an online semi-structured interview, participants were asked to imagine their primary care provider raised the idea of deprescribing. Participants sorted each prescription and non-prescription medication into a category: continue, stop or lower (deprescribe), or unsure.

Older adults' willingness to consider deprescribing when experiencing hyperpolypharmacy.

Background: Older adults experiencing hyperpolypharmacy (use of 10 or more medications) are at an increased risk of cognitive impairment and functional decline. Deprescribing, where medications are stopped or tapered, is one strategy to mitigate risks.

Objectives: The primary objective of our study was to use a card sorting activity to explore how older adults experiencing hyperpolypharmacy make hypothetical deprescribing decisions.
