Purpose: To construct a middle-range theory, based on the Roy adaptation model, for nurses can diagnose an ineffective infant feeding pattern.
Data Source: Scientific findings were used through a literature review and the concepts of the Roy model.
Data Synthesis: The theory indicated new elements for the diagnosis: 12 etiological factors and 13 clinical indicators. Most of those are not contained in the NANDA taxonomy.
Conclusion: The middle-range theory for these diagnoses highlights the need for a review of the components present in the taxonomy.
Implications For Nursing Practice: This approach guides research on nursing diagnoses to revise the content of the theory and to expand its concepts and elements for the diagnosis of an ineffective infant feeding pattern.

Establishing trust through home visits during pregnancy: a realist evaluation of a Danish breastfeeding support intervention.
Arch Public Health
January 2025
Section of Social Medicine, Institute of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Gothersgade 160, 1123, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits but social inequality in breastfeeding is documented in many high-income countries. The evidence for improving breastfeeding support through prenatal encounters is conflicting, but points towards a mechanism activated through a positive relationship between the families and their health care providers. A Danish intervention included a home visit by a health visitor during pregnancy to prolong breastfeeding and reduce social inequality in its rates.

Introduction: Disaster nursing is a complex, dynamic, and resource-limited working environment, like military operations. As the COVID-19 outbreak has shown, not only hospitals, but all communities need nurses who can systematically respond to disasters. It is important for nurses to possess the necessary readiness to respond to disasters with confidence and autonomy.

Fundamental Cause Theory (FCT) offers a unique middle range and longitudinal understanding of the lasting social causational relationships between certain social conditions and disease/death. In this research note, I argue that FCT should extend its outcome measures beyond physical disease and death into holistic health. I briefly review how FCT is evaluated, explore the proposed extension and discuss some operational and conceptual challenges using mental illness and positive mental health outcomes as exemplars.

J Clin Nurs
November 2024
Regional University of Cariri, Crato, Ceará, Brazil.
Aim: To test a middle-range theory (MRT) for the nursing diagnosis of ineffective breathing pattern in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) based on analysis of two general propositions.
Methods: This cross-sectional study is guided by STROBE. The propositions represent hypotheses about the relationships between the concepts of this MRT to be tested empirically, and thus, log-linear models were used to verify the structure of the proposition related to the stimuli.
Quantum Simulations of Radiation Damage in a Molecular Polyethylene Analog.
Macromol Rapid Commun
December 2024
Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA, 95616, USA.
An atomic-level understanding of radiation-induced damage in simple polymers like polyethylene is essential for determining how these chemical changes can alter the physical and mechanical properties of important technological materials such as plastics. Ensembles of quantum simulations of radiation damage in a polyethylene analog are performed using the Density Functional Tight Binding method to help bind its radiolysis and subsequent degradation as a function of radiation dose. Chemical degradation products are categorized with a graph theory approach, and occurrence rates of unsaturated carbon bond formation, crosslinking, cycle formation, chain scission reactions, and out-gassing products are computed.
