The need for self-care in critical care nurses is recognized on a national level. Stress, unhealthy lifestyles, and chronic disease in the general population is mirrored in nursing, affecting burnout, retention, quality outcomes, and well-being. Integrative approaches to promote well-being are supported by nursing theories and tools such as the Integrative Health and Wellness Assessment (IHWA). Through coaching techniques and the IHWA, nurses can support their self-development via self-assessment, self-reflection, self-evaluation, and self-care. This article discusses the role of the IHWA and a coaching process to aid critical care nurses in implementing sustainable self-care strategies.

Introduction: Age-associated depletion in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) concentrations has been implicated in metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. Supplementation with NAD+ precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), offers a potential therapeutic avenue against neurodegenerative pathologies in aging, Alzheimer's disease, and related dementias. A crossover, double-blind, randomized placebo (PBO) controlled trial was conducted to test the safety and efficacy of 8 weeks' active treatment with NR (1 g/day) on cognition and plasma AD biomarkers in older adults with subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment.
