Nursing is the largest workforce in health care with nurses increasingly required to work with digital health technologies. However, despite the adoption of nursing informatics in Australia in the mid-1980s, nursing graduates are not being adequately equipped to use these technologies in a way that benefits the profession and improves patient care. Using a scoping review approach, this paper presents an analysis of contemporary published literature and describes the barriers to faculty engagement with digital health technologies in undergraduate nursing education. Thirty five articles were included and identified faculty lack of understanding of nursing informatics and resistance to technologies, limited infrastructure and expenditure, and limited educational resources and best practice recommendations as significant barriers to the integration of nursing informatics into undergraduate nursing curricula. Recommendations for faculty development will be explored.

Background: Whether pathophysiological factors differ between males and females with irritable bowel syndrome-diarrhea (IBS-D) remains to be tested. To better understand potential sex differences, males with IBS-D were compared to naturally cycling females and to females with IBS-D taking hormonal contraception on plasma levels of cytokines and gut microbiome characteristics.
Methods: Males and females with Rome III IBS-D completed questionnaires and kept a daily symptom diary for 28 days.

Introduction: With the development of technology, the use of machine learning (ML), a branch of computer science that aims to transform computers into decision-making agents through algorithms, has grown exponentially. This protocol arises from the need to explore the best practices for applying ML in the communication and management of occupational risks for healthcare workers.
Methods And Analysis: This scoping review protocol details a search to be conducted in the academic databases, Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, through the Virtual Health Library: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, West Pacific Region Index Medicus, Nursing Database and Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus, Web of Science and IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Excerpta Medica Database.

We examined fatigue among emergency department (ED) clinicians. ED clinicians are susceptible to burnout, because of fatigue. Fatigue represents a latent hazard in ED care, being associated with impaired clinician performance, poor patient outcomes, and a negative impact on patient safety.

Background: Many members of Black American communities, faced with the high prevalence of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) within their demographic, find themselves taking on the role of informal caregivers. Despite being the primary individuals responsible for the care of individuals with ADRD, these caregivers often lack sufficient knowledge about ADRD-related health literacy and feel ill-prepared for their caregiving responsibilities. Generative AI has become a new promising technological innovation in the health care domain, particularly for improving health literacy; however, some generative AI developments might lead to increased bias and potential harm toward Black American communities.

Sleep-wake disturbances frequently present in Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These TBI-related sleep impairments confer significant burden and commonly exacerbate other functional impairments. Therapies to improve sleep following mTBI are limited and studies in Veterans are even more scarce.
