Excellent Nursing Leadership Towards Magnet Culture Among Nurse Leaders: An Interview Study.

Aims: This study describes nurse leaders' experiences of nursing leadership in Finland towards Magnet hospital culture.

Design: This is a qualitative descriptive study.

Methods: The data from nurse leaders (n = 9) were collected in face-to-face or online interviews in June and August 2023 in Finland and analysed using an inductive content analysis approach.

Analytical validation of a semi-automated methodology for quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater collected in northern New England.

Wastewaterbased epidemiology (WBE) can be used to monitor the community presence of infectious disease pathogens of public health concern such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Viral nucleic acid has been detected in the stool of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals. Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections make community monitoring difficult without extensive and continuous population screening.

Nursing interventions in preventing pressure injuries in acute inpatient care: a cross-sectional national study.

Background: Several nursing interventions for pressure injury prevention have been identified, including risk and skin status assessment. The aim of this study was to explore prevention of pressure injuries in Finnish acute inpatient care. The data were collected on pressure injury risk and skin status assessments, repositioning, the use of support surfaces, preventive skin care, malnutrition risk assessment, and nutritional care.

Wastewater-Based SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in Northern New England.

SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA is shed in the stool of 55-70% of infected individuals and can be detected in community wastewater up to 7 days before people present with COVID-19 symptoms. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater may serve as a lead indicator of increased community transmission. Here, we monitored viral concentrations in samples collected from nine municipal wastewater facilities in New Hampshire (NH) and Vermont (VT).

Pressure injury prevalence and incidence in acute inpatient care and related risk factors: A cross-sectional national study.

The aim of this national cross-sectional study was to explore the prevalence of pressure injuries and incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries, and the relating factors in somatic-specialised inpatient care in Finland. The study was conducted in 16 (out of 21) Finnish health care organisations offering specialised health care services. Data were collected in 2018 and 2019 from adult patients (N = 5902) in inpatient, emergency follow-up, and rehabilitation units.
