We report on the development and investigation of standardized, nurse-delivered discharge information to women after same-day hysterectomy, including the relationships among discharge information, self-care confidence, perceived recovery, and satisfaction. Fifty-one women reported high levels of self-care confidence and various levels of perceived recovery 48 to 72 hours after surgery. They were satisfied to highly satisfied with their experiences and with the discharge information provided. The important role of standardized patient discharge information is highlighted.

Are breast cancer patients with low distress at diagnosis at risk of psychological symptoms later in their disease trajectory? Considerations for when to screen for distress.
Acta Oncol

Psychological Aspects of Cancer, Cancer Survivorship, The Danish Cancer Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: To target psychological support to cancer patients most in need of support, screening for psychological distress has been advocated and, in some settings, also implemented. Still, no prior studies have examined the appropriate 'dosage' and whether screening for distress before cancer treatment may be sufficient or if further screenings during treatment are necessary. We examined the development in symptom trajectories for breast cancer patients with low distress before surgery and explored potential risk factors for developing burdensome symptoms at a later point in time.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.
Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.
