Differences in Attentional Bias Toward e-Cigarette Cues Between e-Cigarette Users and Nonusers.

The use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has increased rapidly in recent years, particularly among young adults. There is a dearth of research on the cognitive factors that contribute to ENDS use. One of the possible cognitive mechanisms involved with addictive behavior is attentional bias (AB).

Rethinking rural: Public health advocates' views on ENDS cessation for young adults in rural areas.

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS, commonly referred to as e-cigarettes), have become popular among young adults (YAs, 18-24 years) in the United States. YAs in rural areas increasingly consume more ENDS than those in urban areas. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the perspectives of public health advocates (PHAs) on ENDS use and cessation among YAs in rural areas.

Perspectives on Electronic Nicotine Delivery System Use Cessation Among Adults in Rural Areas: Implications for Future Studies.

Introduction: More young adults (age 18-24 years) in rural areas versus urban areas use electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) - also known as e-cigarettes. Little is known about young adults' perceptions toward ENDS use and cessation. The objective of this study was to examine barriers and facilitators to ENDS use cessation among young adults living in rural areas, as well as their perceptions about ENDS use and cessation and to determine implications for future cessation studies.

Experiences and Perceptions of E-Cigarette Cessation for Young Adults in Rural Communities.

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also known as e-cigarettes, are the most commonly used tobacco products among young adults in the United States. Young adults in rural areas have a higher prevalence of ENDS use compared to their urban counterparts, yet there is limited evidence regarding the in-depth understanding of experiences and perspectives directly from young adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore individual experiences and perspectives about use and cessation of ENDS from young adults in rural areas.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Nicotine Use: Nursing Implications for Patient Outcomes.

Tobacco use is a leading cause of cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and preventable death in the United States. The brains of individuals with nicotine dependence are characterized by damaged mesolimbic pathways in the medial portion of the limbic and frontal lobes, creating positive reinforcing mechanisms. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targets this neuroadaptation to improve smokers' nicotine-related outcomes, such as craving and smoking behavior, by depolarizing or hyperpolarizing the neurons of the brain.

Recruitment of Young Adults: Lessons Learned From Research on Rural E-Cigarette Use and Cessation.

Electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) use continues to grow in rural areas of the United States. In particular, young adults (18-24 years) in rural areas are a hard-to-reach population in regard to understanding the growing ENDS use trend. The purpose of this article was to describe recruitment strategies that were used for a series of ENDS-relevant projects for young adults in rural areas, report recruitment yields from these strategies, and provide methodological considerations to aid researchers in improving recruitment.

Simulation-based training program on patient safety management: A quasi-experimental study among new intensive care unit nurses.

Background: Patient safety is an essential responsibility of nurses. However, newly graduated nurses experience patient safety incidents due to a lack of patient safety competency. In particular, intensive care unit nurses provide care to critical patients, making it difficult for new nurses to maintain patient safety.

Affected family members social support experiences when assisting an individual with substance use disorder.

Introduction: Social support is a factor in the health and well-being of all populations (WHO, 2018). Having a loved one with substance use disorder (SUD) negatively affects family members. Affected Family Members (AFM) providing support for individual with substance use disorder (ISUD) are at risk of losing their social support network.

Public health nurses' perceptions and experiences of emergency preparedness, responsiveness, and burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective(s): To describe PHNs' perceptions and experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, including training, response activities, and work-related challenges.

Design: This was a qualitative study using interpretive description for analysis.

Sample: PHN participants who worked in public health departments in Wisconsin were recruited using purposive sampling.

Cotinine Fluctuation in Maternal Saliva During and After Pregnancy: Implications for Perinatal Outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine maternal cotinine levels in saliva at the first (T-1) and third trimesters of pregnancy (T-2), and postpartum (T-3) among women who reported smoking a consistent number of cigarettes. The goal was to generate data to provide suggestions about how nurses can improve patient outcomes for women who smoke.

Methods: Saliva cotinine values obtained from the randomized controlled trial (BabyBEEP) were used for this secondary analysis.

Public health nurses' workforce factors and population health outcomes in the United States.

Objectives: (a) To examine associations between public health nurse (PHN) workforce factors (PHNs' highest education and PHNs' mean years of employment) and health-risk behaviors (smoking and physical inactivity rates), and (b) to investigate the associations between PHN workforce factors and premature mortality rates across all counties of the United States.

Design: Secondary analysis.

Sample: A total of 5,705 PHNs from the 2015 National Nursing Workforce Survey and 2,977 U.

Assessment of Patient Safety and Cultural Competencies among Senior Baccalaureate Nursing Students.

This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study examined nursing students' educational experiences on self-reported perceptions of patient safety and cultural competence in terms of curriculum content and learning venues. We performed descriptive analyses and a one-way analysis of variance with a sample of senior-year nursing students (N = 249) attending three state universities in the United States. We used the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competency Model, the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool for Nursing Students, and The Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument.
