Purpose: To validate the content of nursing outcomes for pediatric patients hospitalized with a nursing diagnosis of deficient diversional activity.
Methods: The nursing outcomes were evaluated by expert nurses from a Brazilian hospital; the nurses used a Likert-type scale. We considered those that had a weighted average of ≥0.80 as valid outcomes.
Findings: Eight (57.14%) nursing outcomes and 54 (45.38%) indicators were validated.
Conclusions: The study suggests that nursing outcomes validated by the experts are pertinent for Brazilian pediatric patients hospitalized and diagnosed with deficient diversional activity.
Implications For Practice: Nursing Outcomes Classification is a viable alternative for the assessment of nursing care outcomes. Further studies should investigate the applicability of these data in clinical practice.

Competencies of nurses to participate in safe medication management practices for biologics: A scoping review.
PLoS One
January 2025
Nursing Department, Shanxi Mental Health Centre, Taiyuan, China.
Aim: To review the existing literature relating to nurse competence in safe medication management practices for biologics, identify evidence, and develop a competency framework to clarify the role of nurses in these practices.
Background: With the widespread use of biological agents in disease treatment, ensuring the safe and economical use of high-cost medicines is particularly important. Even though nurses are essential in patient care, detailed knowledge regarding their competence and role in the safe administration of biologics is lacking.
Botulinum toxin injections for the treatment of hip instability in the pediatric population with cerebral palsy: a systematic review.
Int J Rehabil Res
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York City.
The purpose of this review was to examine the effects of hip muscle botulinum toxin injections for the treatment of hip instability reported in studies of children with cerebral palsy. Searches in PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science were performed using the term hips combined with botulinum toxin and its various abbreviations and brand names. Reference lists and citations of the reviewed studies were also searched.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFirst-Attempt Success in Ultrasound-Guided vs Standard Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion: The EPIC Superiority Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Vascular Assessment and Management Service, Department of Anaesthesia and Pain, Queensland Children's Hospital, Children's Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service, Queensland, Australia.
Importance: Pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion can be difficult and time-consuming, frequently requiring multiple insertion attempts and often resulting in increased anxiety, distress, and treatment avoidance among children and their families. Ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion is a superior alternative to standard technique (palpation and visualization) in high-risk patients.
Objective: To compare first-time insertion success of PIVCs inserted with ultrasound guidance compared with standard technique (palpation and visualization) across all risk categories in the general pediatric hospital population.
Identifying the Strongest Correlates of Condom Use Among US Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: Condoms are effective at preventing sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy; however, only 52% of sexually active US adolescents used a condom at last intercourse.
Objective: To examine (1) the association between 36 psychosocial variables and adolescent condom use to determine the strongest correlates of condom use behavior across the literature, (2) heterogeneity of these effects, and (3) the moderating roles of age, gender/sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and year of study.
Data Sources: A systematic search was conducted of studies published between January 2000 and February 2024 using Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Communication Source databases, plus relevant review articles and unpublished data.
Anti-tumor Necrosis Factor Drug Concentration Is Not Associated with Disease Outcomes in Pouchitis: A Retrospective, International Study.
Dig Dis Sci
January 2025
INFINY Institute, Department of Gastroenterology, CHRU Nancy, INSERM NGERE, Université de Lorraine, 54500 , Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France.
Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring is important for optimizing anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the exposure-response relationship has never been assessed in pouchitis.
Aims: To explore associations between anti-TNF-α drug concentration and pouchitis disease activity in patients with a background of ulcerative colitis.
