This paper reports a study, which explored student nurses experience in clinical practice. The aims of this study were to describe nurse education systems in clinical practice in eight nursing schools and compare the supervisory experiences of student nurses working in clinical settings. The nursing schools taking part in the study were members of the thematic european nursing network (TENN). A quantitative survey method was chosen for the method of this study. The sample (N=411) was collected using a validated research instrument from eight nursing schools participating in the TENN. The schools are located in Estonia, Belgium, Finland, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and United Kingdom. The data were collected during 2005. Although the nursing schools involved in TENN are in different development phases, however, the organisation of clinical practice is mainly similar. The percentage of clinical practice in a complete nursing programme varies from 38 to 57. Moreover, the duration of the clinical placements varies substantially across the nursing schools; from a couple weeks to 34 weeks. Students in this study evaluated their supervision experience positively. In three schools group or team supervision is the most common model. In the clinical placements where the pedagogical activities of staff nurses are notable, is a clear tendency towards a Mentorship model. However, approximately 10% of respondents perceived some practical problems in the organisation of Mentorship. Students' total satisfaction was observed to link with crucial variables but only connection with the variable Occurrence of supervision was statistically significant (p=0.000).

Background: Palliative Care, Geriatrics and Emergency physicians are exposed to death, terminally ill patients and distress of patients and their families. As physicians bear witness to patients' suffering, they are vulnerable to the costs of caring-the emotional distress associated with providing compassionate and empathetic care to patients. If left unattended, this may culminate in burnout and compromise professional identity.

Background: Although substantial progress has been made in establishing evidence-based psychosocial clinical interventions and implementation strategies for mental health, translating research into practice-particularly in more accessible, community settings-has been slow.
Objective: This protocol outlines the renewal of the National Institute of Mental Health-funded University of Washington Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness Center, which draws from human-centered design (HCD) and implementation science to improve clinical interventions and implementation strategies. The Center's second round of funding (2023-2028) focuses on using the Discover, Design and Build, and Test (DDBT) framework to address 3 priority clinical intervention and implementation strategy mechanisms (ie, usability, engagement, and appropriateness), which we identified as challenges to implementation and scalability during the first iteration of the center.

Background And Objectives: Lipid metabolism in older adults is affected by various factors including biological aging, functional decline, reduced physiologic reserve, and nutrient intake. The dysregulation of lipid metabolism could adversely affect brain health. This study investigated the association between year-to-year intraindividual lipid variability and subsequent risk of cognitive decline and dementia in community-dwelling older adults.

Burnout in oncologists has been increasing, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is concerning because burnout can have both personal and professional repercussions, as well as a negative impact on patients and organizational financial health. Drawing on information and ideas discussed at an ASCO Town Hall session at the 2023 Annual Meeting developed by the State of Cancer Care in America Editorial Board, this study reviews key organizational strategies for improving professional well-being and argues for the importance of measuring and researching the well-being of the oncology workforce to ensure healthy work environments.

Methods: All US medical oncology fellows taking the 2023 ASCO Medical Oncology In-Training Exam (ITE) were invited to complete an optional post-exam survey evaluating fatigue, satisfaction with work-life integration (WLI), emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. 2023 ITE survey responses were compared to the 2013 ASCO post-ITE survey (n=1345).
