Article Abstract
Nurses in Israel struggle with many of the same problems faced by nurses in other parts of the world, such as increased use of technology, overwhelming amounts of information, and demands for high quality of services to larger numbers of people within tighter budgets. In addition to the aging of the general population, the country has welcomed large numbers of immigrants. The nation's expenditures for healthcare and nursing education have, at times, had to take a back seat to the government's efforts to house new immigrants, to relocate groups, and to defend the nation against politically motivated violence and attacks. All of this is in the context of regional conflicts and international debates.
Background: Preserving new graduate nurses in the profession is an essential step for addressing the nursing shortage and sustaining the future of the profession. This study aimed to examine the relationship between employment characteristics and job satisfaction of novice nurses and their willingness to stay in the nursing profession in the next 5 years.
Methods: Novice nurses' intention to stay in the profession was assessed, considering demographics, employment characteristics, and components of job satisfaction.
Purpose: Investigation of genetic counseling-related published papers offers a historical assessment of the cumulative scientific knowledge produced by members of the profession and can be the basis for future practice, training, and research. This paper aims to present a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling publications in Asia.
Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling-related manuscripts published in Asia from 1947 to 2023.
Background: Hypertension is a significant public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where its management is often inadequate. Understanding patients' experiences and perspectives is crucial for improving hypertension care. Despite a growing body of literature on hypertension in Ethiopia, most studies focus on quantitative data, leaving a significant gap in qualitative insights into patient experiences and perspectives.
Background: Few studies describe how gender-related factors may contribute to polypharmacy and prescribing cascades. Describing these patterns using cross-national comparisons can improve the robustness of findings and provide lessons on the importance of considering age, sex, and gender in pharmacological research. The aim of the study was to explore the intersection of age, sex, and gender with polypharmacy and co-prescribing suggesting a potential prescribing cascade.
Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether postoperative pager alerts to the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP), a delirium prevention service, would accelerate program enrollment for older surgical patients. This study also tested feasibility of family care partner interventions for delirium prevention.
Methods: This single-center, pilot clinical trial factorially randomized 57 non-cardiac surgical patients ≥70 years of age to 4 arms: (1) standard care, (2) pager alerts to accelerate HELP enrollment, (3) family care partner-based delirium prevention interventions, or (4) a combined arm with both HELP and family interventions.
