AI Article Synopsis
- This study explored the gap between registered nurses' (RNs') actual and desired involvement in decision-making across various categories related to their roles.
- A sample of 196 RNs completed surveys, revealing that they generally want more participation in decision-making than they currently have.
- The only factor influencing this gap was the work setting, suggesting that more research is needed to identify causes and potential solutions to improve RNs’ job satisfaction.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the level of actual and preferred decisional involvement and ascertain whether there is decisional dissonance among registered nurses (RNs).
Subjects And Methods: A convenience sample of 196 RNs completed a demographic form and the Decisional Involvement Scale, a tool that measures actual and preferred decisional involvement for RNs in 6 categories: unit staffing, quality of professional practice, professional recruitment, unit governance and leadership, quality of support staff practice, and collaboration/liaison activities. From these data, the level of and difference between RN's actual and preferred decisional involvement was analyzed. In addition, the impact of level of education, years of experience, hours worked per pay period, and work setting on actual and preferred decisional involvement were measured.
Results And Conclusions: A statistically significant difference was found between RNs' actual and preferred decisional involvement, with RNs preferring more decisional involvement than they actually experienced. Work setting was the only variable to which a difference could be attributed. Further study is warranted to find causes of decisional dissonance and interventions that could help alleviate the problem and potentially increase job satisfaction.

Diagnostic performance of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB): an essential but still underused technique.
Breast Cancer Res Treat
December 2024
Breast Radiology Department, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Dei Tumori Di Milano, Via Giacomo Venezian 1, 20133, Milan, Italy.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is an increasingly requested procedure, but it implies training and experience both in its execution and in determining radiological-pathological concordance and is therefore performed in dedicated breast centers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy and to determine the upgrade rate after surgery or follow-up.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients with suspicious MRI findings without corresponding mammographic and ultrasonographic findings who underwent MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) at our Institution from November 2020 to March 2023.

Introduction: Genomics is a lifespan competency that is important for improving health outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. Nurses play a key role in genomic healthcare and realizing the potential of the genomic era.
Methods: We aimed to chart the current state of genomics in nursing by conducting a systematic scoping review of the literature in four databases (2012-2022).

Objective: To design, develop, and field test the HPV Decide decision tool to facilitate shared clinical decision-making recommendation for mid-adult HPV vaccination.
Methods: The 'HPV Decide' online tool was developed through a 6-step process, involving community and provider advisory boards, usability testing with 10 end users (unvaccinated adults aged 27-45), field testing interviews with another 10, and interviews with 18 healthcare providers. The process incorporated both inductive and deductive qualitative data analyses.

Although descriptive psychopathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is well-established, this disorder still presents very enigmatic and puzzling aspects. Hence the usefulness for further contributions to better clarify the picture. For example, one of the most problematic manifestations of OCD consists in pathological doubt, whose origin, however, remains unclear.
