[Meleis theory: a tool for better understanding city-hospital transitions].

Meleis' theory: a tool for better understanding the hospital/town transitions. The purpose of this article is to provide a critique of the transition theory conceptualized by Afaf Meleis. A clinical vignette is used to highlight the strengths and limitations of the theory in the care of elderly people returning home after hospitalization for heart failure.

Transition from driving to driving-cessation: experience of older persons and caregivers: a descriptive qualitative design.

Background: For some older persons, driving is essential to maintain their daily activities and engagement with society. Unfortunately, some will have to stop driving, as they age. Driving-cessation is an important transition for older persons and caregivers, well known to cause significant challenges and consequences.

Road safety of older drivers and the nursing profession: A scoping review.

Background: Population ageing will lead to an increase in the number of older drivers. The ageing process can affect older adults' driving ability. Nurses can play a major role in identifying potentially at-risk drivers and providing guidance about driving safety and cessation, but their role remains somewhat unknown.

Since 2008, an international group has been helping to promote a better response to the fundamental needs of individuals receiving care. This group provides a framework on the fundamentals of care that focuses on the relationship between the nurse, the individual being cared for, and his or her relatives, as well as on the response to the patient’s physical, psychosocial, and relational needs. A practice process supports the concrete application of this framework.

Finding the fundamental needs behind resistance to care: Using the Fundamentals of Care Practice Process.

Unlabelled: A person living with Alzheimer's disease (PA) can experience difficulty during bodily care and therefore may show resistance to care behaviours (RTCBs). Nurses must take a clinical approach to planning care that meets the person's needs. Therefore, it is necessary to identify training strategies for bedside nurses and nursing students.

Design factors influencing performance of constrained acetabular liners: finite element characterization.

Constrained acetabular liners are utilized to deal with the infrequent but devastating problem of recurrent dislocation. While an encouraging treatment of last resort, the clinical performance of contemporary constrained liners has been somewhat mixed. There are multiple factors contributing to this variability, one of which is the limited understanding of the intrinsic mechanical characteristics of these specialty devices.
