Published: January 2021

Background: Missed care is a global phenomenon, which can include many clinical conditions that threaten the patients' safety in all countries and cultures, and also indicates the quality of nursing care. The nursing students' awareness and understanding of missed nursing care is of great importance. The current study aims to explore the lived experience of postgraduate nursing students in missed care.

Methods: The current qualitative study was performed based on the interpretive phenomenological approach in Tehran, Iran, in February to December 2019. A total of 10 master's degree nursing students were selected through purposive sampling. A total of 10 semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect the data. The trail version of MAXQDA-10 software was used for coding. All interviews were recorded and codified, and the main themes were extracted from them using Dicklemann et al.'s (1989) analytical method.

Results: Two main themes, five sub-themes, and 31 meaning units were obtained. The main themes included: "unfulfilled care" and "living in limbo".

Conclusion: Missed care, as unfulfilled care, is accompanied with living in limbo for nursing students, and this condition is influenced by organizational and personal factors. It seems that managers can prevent missed nursing care by supervising nursing care, reducing the nurses' workload, creating a sense of commitment to work, and enforcing ethical issues among nurses.

Exposure to household air pollution has been linked to adverse health outcomes among women aged 40-79. Little is known about how shifting from biomass cooking to a cleaner fuel like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) could impact exposures for this population. We report 24-h exposures to particulate matter (PM), black carbon (BC), and carbon monoxide (CO) among women aged 40 to <80 years participating in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network trial.

Objectives: Advance care planning (ACP) supports communication and medical decision-making and is best conceptualized as part of the care planning continuum. Black older adults have lower ACP engagement and poorer quality of care in serious illness. Surrogates are essential to effective ACP but are rarely integrated in care planning.

Impairment of gut barrier integrity is associated with the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and coeliac disease. While many aspects of diet have been linked to improved barrier function, (poly)phenols, a broad group of bioactive phytochemicals, are of potential interest. The (poly)phenolic sub-class, flavan-3-ols, have been investigated in some detail owing to their abundance in commonly consumed foods, including grapes, tea, apples, cocoa, berries, and nuts.
