As many hospitals are implementing residency programs for new graduate nurses, the utilization of high-fidelity simulation has become common. This pilot program compared simulation with participation of only new graduate nurses and new graduates with advanced care providers. Results found a statistically significant increase in knowledge of differing roles and skills in simulations that included both groups. Nursing professional development practitioners will find this helpful in designing residency programs for new graduate nurses.

In 2018, Portuguese researchers proposed the "Tool for Quality Assessment of Genetic Counseling," a 5-point Likert scale comprising 50 items across five dimensions, designed to assess genetic counseling from the professional's perspective. This descriptive, cross-sectional study aimed to adapt this tool to Brazilian Portuguese, validate it among Brazilian clinical geneticists, and conduct a preliminary assessment of the quality of genetic counseling in Brazil. The adaptation process involved expert-driven content validation and calculation of the Content Validity Index (CVI) to ensure equivalence between the original and adapted versions.

Objectives: Develop a primary health care-based nurse-led culturally tailored hypertension self-care intervention for rural residents.
Design: The culturally tailored hypertension self-care intervention was developed using a six-step intervention mapping approach that involved: needs assessment using literature review and interviews; setting program goals using integrated thematic synthesis method; selecting intervention modules through the process dimension of the self-care theory of chronic illness; producing program components and materials by developing intervention modules using the motivational interviewing and behavior change techniques; planning program adoption by encouraging sustainable behavior; and evaluation using the education content validity index in health and the intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility scale.
Measurements: Education content validity index in health and the intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility scale.
Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are an important part of the graduate nursing curriculum at The Ohio State University, including in the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) program. Despite positive feedback from the OSCE assignments, students often reported experiencing anxiety before the assignments. In 2023, the PMHNP faculty implemented a pre-OSCE practice assignment designed for students to review an initial psychiatric evaluation by interviewing a peer.
