Technology Solutions for Nurse Leaders.

Over the next 10 years, the World Health Organization estimates that there will be global shortage of 18 000 000 health care workers. A perfect storm of an aging demographic, long-term drop in birth rate, and a retiring workforce has all the factors contributing to this impending crisis. In nursing, efforts to narrow the shortage gap through strategies that increase the number of admissions to nursing schools, such as increasing faculty members, clinical sites, preceptors, and scholarships, will likely not be enough to offset the shortfall.

Influence of Patient Characteristics and Psychological Needs on Diabetes Mobile App Usability in Adults With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes: Crossover Randomized Trial.

Background: More than 1100 diabetes mobile apps are available, but app usage by patients is low. App usability may be influenced by patient factors such as age, sex, and psychological needs.

Objective: Guided by Self-Determination Theory, the purposes of this study were to (1) assess the effect of patient characteristics on app usability, and (2) determine whether patient characteristics and psychological needs (competence, autonomy, and connectivity)-important for motivation in diabetes care-are associated with app usability.

Accountability of Nursing Interventions vs. Severity of Illness Scores for the Hospital Care Cost Of Total Hip Replacement.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which nursing care compared to severity of illness (SOI) accounted for direct hospital costs. The type, frequency, and duration of nursing interventions required for patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery by the SOI stages with independent t-tests were identified. Although patients in Stage 3 generally needed a greater amount of each intervention than patients in Stage 2, the differences in needs for nursing interventions were not consistent using SOI.
