Structural visualization was implemented on catheter management education for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients requiring expert nursing. An education program utilizing electronic images was proposed as a method of monitoring the exit site, which is of high importance in PD catheter self-management. Recording images of the exit site and utilizing them as part of the education program encouraged a common understanding of the exit site between nurses and patients, and helped to achieve a better quality of patient education. It is thought that visualization of nursing practice and the thinking processes of expert nurses which have not been expressly stated previously can become a foundation for more advanced nursing care throughout the profession.

Directing depolarization efforts toward those with authority over public health funding and population health policies has great potential to improve health outcomes. Two nonpartisan legislative and executive branch state leadership programs demonstrated personal growth and mutual respect among participants necessary for depolarization that was evidenced by cross-state and cross-party policy implementation. Intentional cohort selection of politically and demographically diverse participants, ground rules based on fundamental values, and curriculum emphasizing collective problem-solving built trust and curiosity despite differing viewpoints.

Studies show that friendships help undergraduates navigate the transition to college, but it is unclear how technology use impacts the maintenance of friendships and students' subsequent adjustment.
