Many patients with leukemia experience cancer-related fatigue (CRF). However, when patients are admitted for treatment with chemotherapy, clinicians often overlook CRF and interventions that can help to manage it. The purpose of this four-week intervention was to determine whether a nurse-led exercise activity would reduce CRF and increase physical activity compared to current practice. The results suggest that nurse-led exercise programs can immediately decrease CRF and increase activity in admitted patients with leukemia receiving chemotherapy. Including patients in nurse-led exercise activities can support active participation in their own care during and after hospitalization.

Article Synopsis
- Hysterectomy can lead to challenges like stress urinary incontinence (SUI), pelvic floor muscle weakness, and sexual dysfunction, prompting interest in pelvic floor exercises as a potential solution.
- A study analyzed 81 patients post-hysterectomy, comparing outcomes between a standard exercise group and a nurse-led remote guided exercise program, finding significant benefits in the guided group.
- Results showed the remote guided program led to greater reductions in incontinence severity, improved pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance, and enhanced sexual function compared to regular exercises.

Introduction Stroke is a major global cause of mortality and disability, with many survivors lacking awareness. Nurses play a pivotal role in the early identification and management of symptoms with regard to stroke. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of stroke rehabilitation on awareness, activity of daily living (ADL) and coping among stroke patients.

Both the development and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) are affected by a range of modifiable lifestyle risk factors. These key modifiable risk factors encompass obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alcohol consumption, exercise, sedentary lifestyle and obstructive sleep apnoea. These lifestyle-dependent factors rarely exist in isolation, but rather exist together, exerting a complex influence on the development of AF.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation programmes, while demonstrating benefits, face challenges in universal adoption, particularly in New Zealand. This study evaluates the long-term impact of cardiac rehabilitation participation and attendance on survival and readmission rates in the Auckland Health District.
Objective: To examine the impact of patient participation in nurse-led lifestyle rehabilitation and physiotherapy exercise rehabilitation on key outcomes, including all-cause mortality, and all-cause, cardiac-specific, and kidney disease readmission rates.
