Published: January 2024

Interior Health in British Columbia advocates for and supports advanced practice nurses, inclusive of regional clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). CNSs develop evidence-informed programs, education, policies and practice standards. The article uses an advanced practice nursing framework to anchor two case studies: (1) the operationalization and implementation of a regional CNS role in primary care and (2) the use of a knowledge translation strategy to build clinical capacity in serious illness conversations. These case studies embody the CNS role and provide a voice for CNSs to communicate the ways in which their advanced practice nursing role is pivotal in healthcare system transformation and for providing quality patient care.

Introduction: Technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse (TFSVA) refers to a range of behaviours in which digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexual harm. The proliferation of smartphone usage and increasing internet penetration rates across the world have made it easier for individuals to become perpetrators and victims of TFSVA. Since empirical studies of TFSVA remain limited in the academic arena, and there is an absence of evidence to support the development of a standardised TFSVA measurement, this review aims to explore what TFSVA measurements are currently available and their potential use in measuring TFSVA.
