Unlabelled: Aim To evaluate school nurse and family-reported perceptions of school nurse competencies in supporting students with Type 1 diabetes.
Design: Mixed methods systematic review of the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
Data Sources: Five academic databases (PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Embase, and Research Information Sharing Service) were used as data sources.
Review Methods: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies published between 2014 and 2023 were included. Two authors independently assessed the eligibility and quality of the included studies. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using a mixed methods assessment tool.
Results: Thirteen qualitative studies, 11 quantitative studies, seven non-randomized studies, and four mixed studies met the inclusion criteria. Consequently, five competencies and 11 sub-competencies were derived under two themes. The two themes were "demand for training in school diabetes care" and "demand for more active cooperation." In particular, the literature confirmed challenges in school nurses' utilization of diabetes devices despite moderate to high confidence in basic diabetes care tasks.
Conclusions: This systematic review offered useful information from the perspective of stakeholders (school nurses, parents, and students) regarding school nurses' competencies in caring for students with T1D. This can help us understand the various tasks and requirements faced by school nurses, and future capacity development interventions for school nurses that consider these are needed.

Study Objective: Non-physician practitioners, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, increasingly practice in emergency departments, especially in rural areas, where they help mitigate physician shortages. However, little is known about non-physician practitioner durability and demographic trends in emergency departments. Our objective was to examine attrition rates and ages among non-physician practitioners in emergency medicine.

Purpose: Understanding barriers to compliance can aid in mitigation strategies to address them. This study aims to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the relationship between barriers to ERAS recommendations and perceived ability to assure compliance among multidisciplinary team (MDT) members who deliver Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care.
Design: Embedded mixed-methods survey analysis.
Objective: To update and establish content validity for the Checklist of NICU Caregiver Behaviors.
Design: Structured literature review and Delphi analysis.
Setting/local Problem: Neonates born prematurely or who are sick in the NICU are frequently exposed to harmful stimuli that can affect brain development and result in adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Background: The gap between organ availability and the number of people waiting for a transplant remains a major healthcare issue. Most transplanted organs and tissue are received from donors who have died in intensive care units (ICUs). To increase the number of donors, national guidelines and professional bodies in Australia support routine consideration of organ and tissue donation at the end of life.

Background: The pandemic response required the large-scale redeployment of nurses to support the care of patients with COVID-19. Surveys of staff and analysis of staff feedback indicated that the frequent redeployment of intensive care unit (ICU) registered nurses (RNs) led to dissatisfaction and contributed to voluntary reductions in hours and increased intentions to resign. Whilst much is understood about the redeployment of non-ICU RNs into ICUs to support patient care during periods of high demand, less is known about ICU RNs' experiences of being redeployed to general wards.
