Inhaled methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) as a novel pain relief for outpatient hysteroscopy and other gynaecological procedures.

Objective: Penthrox® (methoxyflurane) is a convenient, portable, self-administered disposable single-use handheld inhaler licenced as an emergency, rapid-onset, short-acting, analgesic in adult trauma patients. Outpatient hysteroscopy is one of the commonest procedures in contemporary gynecology but it can be associated with significant pain leading to poor patient experience and failed procedures. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of Penthrox® in women undergoing outpatient hysteroscopic procedures and its potential efficacy to reduce pain and improve patient experience.

User engagement in clinical trials of digital mental health interventions: a systematic review.

Introduction: Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) overcome traditional barriers enabling wider access to mental health support and allowing individuals to manage their treatment.

An Investigation Into the Measurement of Injury Severity in Running-Related Injury Research: A Scoping Review.

Understanding injury severity is essential to inform injury prevention practice. The aims of this scoping review were to investigate how running-related injury (RRI) severity is measured, compare how it differs across studies, and examine whether it influences study outcomes (i.e.

Definitions and surveillance methods of running-related injuries: A scoping review.

Inconsistent and restricted definitions of injury have contributed to limitations in determining injury rates and identifying risk factors for running-related injuries (RRIs). The aim of this scoping review was to investigate the definitions and surveillance methods of RRIs. A systematic electronic search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscuss, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases.

Acceptability of data linkage to identify women at risk of postnatal complication for the development of digital risk prediction tools and interventions to better optimise postnatal care, a qualitative descriptive study design.

Background: Pregnancy acts as a cardiovascular stress test. Although many complications resolve following birth, women with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) long-term. Monitoring postnatal health can reduce this risk but requires better methods to identity high-risk women for timely interventions.

The relationship between hamstring strength tests and sprint performance in female Gaelic footballers: A correlation and linear regression analysis.

Objectives: To investigate the relationships between handheld dynamometer (HHD), isokinetic and Nordic hamstrings exercise (NHE) measurements of knee flexor strength and their association with sprinting performance.

Design: Cross-sectional.

Methods: The relationships between HHD (prone isometric, prone break and supine break knee flexor strength tests), isokinetic and NHE peak knee flexor strength measures were examined using Pearson product correlations on 38 female footballers.

An investigation into perceived autonomy support, motivation and competence in chronic pain patients in Ireland: A cross-sectional study.

Autonomy supportive healthcare settings are associated with enhanced behaviour change and self-management strategies in individuals living with chronic disease. The level of autonomy support provided by healthcare professionals to individuals living with chronic pain in Ireland is unknown. A cross-sectional study was completed on participants living with chronic pain (>3 months) in Ireland.

Informing nursing policy: An exploration of digital health research by nurses in England.

Aims: Digital health technologies are designed, implemented, and evaluated to support clinical practice, enable patients to self-manage illness, and further public and global health. Nursing and health policies often emphasise the importance of evidence-based digital health services to deliver better care. However, the contribution nurses make to digital health research in many countries is unknown.

Over twenty years of pedagogical research from Nurse Education in Practice: A bibliometric analysis from 2001 to 2023.

Aim: To present a bibliometric overview of pedagogical research from Nurse Education in Practice from its inception in 2001 up until 2023.

Background: Bibliometric methods are useful in analysing and understanding the characteristics of scientific publications in a particular field and the influence of specific journals. However, no bibliometric analysis of a nurse education journal has been undertaken to date which would highlight important research trends in this area of nursing and midwifery.

The application and use of artificial intelligence in cancer nursing: A systematic review.

Purpose: Artificial Intelligence is being applied in oncology to improve patient and service outcomes. Yet, there is a limited understanding of how these advanced computational techniques are employed in cancer nursing to inform clinical practice. This review aimed to identify and synthesise evidence on artificial intelligence in cancer nursing.

The ChatGPT Effect: Nursing Education and Generative Artificial Intelligence.

This article examines the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer), in nursing education and the associated challenges and recommendations for their use. Generative AI offers potential benefits such as aiding students with assignments, providing realistic patient scenarios for practice, and enabling personalized, interactive learning experiences. However, integrating generative AI in nursing education also presents challenges, including academic integrity issues, the potential for plagiarism and copyright infringements, ethical implications, and the risk of producing misinformation.

The Running Injury Continuum: A qualitative examination of recreational runners' description and management of injury.

Introduction: A critical step in understanding and preventing running-related injuries (RRIs) is appropriately defining RRIs. Current definitions of RRIs may not represent the full process of injury development, failing to capture lower levels of injury that many athletes continue to train through. Understanding runners' description and management of the injury development process may allow for a more appropriate examination of all levels of injury.
