Evolving Nursing Research Priorities: A Unified Vision for Advancing the Nursing Profession.

The American Nurses Association Enterprise (ANA Enterprise) Research Advisory Council plays a vital role in bringing nursing voices together and shaping the dynamic landscape of nursing research. Historically, its priorities have revolved around 4 pivotal research priorities: advancing research capacity, promoting interprofessional collaboration, enhancing data structures and governance, and propelling practice-based nursing research. In a remarkable transition, the 2024 Research Priorities of the ANA Enterprise Research Advisory Council align with the vision and strategic goals of the ANA Enterprise.

Systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune features in chronic hospitalized patients with schizophrenia.

Objectives: Recent studies highlighted the link of schizophrenia risk with genetic variations in complement, which share the same pathogenesis with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the coexistence of SLE and schizophrenia were rarely reported. We aimed to explore the autoantibody profiles, complement levels and prevalence of SLE in chronic schizophrenia patients.

Integrating Transwomen and Female Athletes with Differences of Sex Development (DSD) into Elite Competition: The FIMS 2021 Consensus Statement.

Sport is historically designated by the binary categorization of male and female that conflicts with modern society. Sport's governing bodies should consider reviewing rules determining the eligibility of athletes in the female category as there may be lasting advantages of previously high testosterone concentrations for transwomen athletes and currently high testosterone concentrations in differences in sex development (DSD) athletes. The use of serum testosterone concentrations to regulate the inclusion of such athletes into the elite female category is currently the objective biomarker that is supported by most available scientific literature, but it has limitations due to the lack of sports performance data before, during or after testosterone suppression.

A Remarkable Journey: Why the Magnet Recognition Program® Continues to Resonate Today.

It has been more than 30 years since an enterprising team of American Academy of Nursing researchers unearthed groundbreaking findings that led to the creation of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program®. Dr Muriel Poulin, EdD, RN, FAAN, a coauthor of the original Magnet® hospital study, recalls how she and her colleagues opted to take their research in a different direction and address pressing questions that spoke directly to the needs and desires of staff nurses. She shares her thoughts on why the Magnet Recognition Program continues to resonate today.
