Unlabelled: . Missed nursing care terminologies, theoretical concepts and measurement instruments: a literature review.

Introduction: In the last 15 years the amount of studies on missed nursing care has increased, highlighting the global dimensions of this phenomenon.

Objective: To identify (a) the terms and the conceptual models currently available; (b) the measurement tools validated in the field of missed care both at the international and at the national levels.

Method: In December 2017 a literature search was conducted by accessing Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The search provided 819 results; after removing duplicates, 273 abstracts were evaluated and 33 studies included.

Results: In the field of missed care, three main approaches have been developed to date: (a) Tasks Undone (TU), (b) Implicit Rationing (IR) and (c) Missed Nursing Care (MC). Each of these approaches has used different definitions, conceptual frameworks and measurement tools and has originated in different contexts. Those studies conducted in Italy have been performed mostly within the MC approach, by adopting the same definition, conceptual framework and instrument.

Conclusions: Overall the missed nursing care definition, its conceptual model and the MISSCARE survey tool reflect the most widespread approach in the field, both at the international and Italian levels. There is a need to develop a common theoretical approach, definition and tool aimed at increasing the consistency of evaluations as well as the opportunity of international comparisons.

Some technical limitations to using the eccentric mode to measure peak eccentric strength of the hamstrings (PTH) were raised. PTH also has limited validity to predict performance or injury risk factor. Therefore, our aim was to compare PTH and other isokinetic variables tested in the eccentric and passive modes.

Background: This project aimed to develop an evidence-based nursing care bundle after gastrostomy feeding tube insertion and implement it into clinical practice using the Knowledge to Action (KTA) framework.

Methods: This mixed-method design project was conducted in a university hospital between December 2021 and June 2022. The project was carried out in four phases: (1) development of an evidence-based care bundle, (2) education for care bundle training, (3) implementation of the care bundle, (4) evaluation of the care bundle.

Background: Work environments that support patient safety initiatives are important for quality service and patient outcomes. The relationship between the leadership behaviours of nurse managers and safety culture, which has the potential to support these initiatives, constitutes one of the most important knowledge gaps.

Objectives: The study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses' perceived leadership behaviours and hospital safety culture and the factors affecting them.

A preliminary ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging study of distinct aortic morphologies.

J Anat

January 2025

Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Changes in the microstructure of the aortic wall precede the progression of various aortic pathologies, including aneurysms and dissection. Current clinical decisions with regards to surgical planning and/or radiological intervention are guided by geometric features, such as aortic diameter, since clinical imaging lacks tissue microstructural information. The aim of this proof-of-concept work is to investigate a non-invasive imaging method, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in ex vivo aortic tissue to gain insights into the microstructure.

Aim: To implement and evaluate an Advanced Practice Nurse-led transitional care model (AdvantAGE) to reduce rehospitalisation rates in frail older adults discharged from a Swiss geriatric hospital.

Design: The study adopts an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design (Type 1) to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the care model and explore the implementation process.

Methods: The primary outcome, the 90-day rehospitalisation rate, will be evaluated using a matched-cohort design with a prospective intervention group and a retrospective control group.
