The purpose of this study was to determine how Canadian nurse practitioners (NPs) rate their levels of therapeutic commitment, role competency, and role support when working with persons with mental health problems. A cross-sectional descriptive, co-relational design was used. The Therapeutic Commitment Model was the theoretical framework for the study. A sample of 680 Canadian NPs accessed through 2 territorial and 9 provincial nursing jurisdictions completed a postal survey. NPs scored highest on the therapeutic commitment subscale and lowest on the role support subscale. The 3 subscales were correlated: role competency and therapeutic commitment were the most strongly associated (r = .754, p < .001). To have a positive impact on the care of persons with mental health problems, educators, policy-makers, and NPs need to assess and support therapeutic commitment, role support, and role competency development.

Background: Prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation is a common occurrence in clinical ICU patients and presents significant challenges for patient care and resource allocation. Predicting prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation is crucial for improving patient outcomes, preventing ventilator-associated complications, and guiding targeted clinical interventions. However, specific tools for predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation among ICU patients, particularly those with critical orthopaedic trauma, are currently lacking.

Successful transmission of Plasmodium falciparum from one person to another relies on the complete intraerythrocytic development of non-pathogenic sexual gametocytes infectious for anopheline mosquitoes. Understanding the genetic factors that regulate gametocyte development is vital for identifying transmission-blocking targets in the malaria parasite life cycle. Toward this end, we conducted a forward genetic study to characterize the development of gametocytes from sexual commitment to mature stage V.

There is a new awareness of the widespread nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its connection to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This has catalyzed collaboration between cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to address the need for earlier identification of those with MASLD who are at increased risk for CVD. The overlap in the pathophysiologic processes and parallel prevalence of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD highlight the multisystem consequences of poor cardiovascular-liver-metabolic health.

The presence of a bar at the heart of a home for the dependent elderly is a project that benefits everyone - residents, families and care teams. The associations that take charge of this place, which favors social ties, propose innovative organizational methods. Here, psychiatric patients are invited to run the bar, a genuine therapeutic tool.
