Determinants of implementation for group medical visits for patients with chronic pain: a systematic review.

Background: Despite the critical need for comprehensive and effective chronic pain care, delivery of such care remains challenging. Group medical visits (GMVs) offer an innovative and efficient model for providing comprehensive care for patients with chronic pain. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify barriers and facilitators (determinants) to implementing GMVs for adult patients with chronic pain.

Daily spiritual experiences and allostatic load trajectories: a longitudinal study of midlife African American women.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between daily spiritual experiences and allostatic load (AL) trajectories in midlife African American women.

Methods: A longitudinal analysis of public-use data from 727 African American women in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) was performed. We included African American women who completed the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale at SWAN visit 4 (2000-2001) and had AL data at three or more study visits over 7 years.

A scoping review of the role of policy in mitigating childhood obesity in underserved populations using the RE-AIM framework.

Background: Childhood obesity is an escalating crisis in the United States. Health policy may impact this epidemic which disproportionally affects underserved populations.

Aim: The aim was to use the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to assess health policy impact on preventing or treating school-aged children (5 > 18 years) with obesity in underserved populations.

Financial burden among metastatic breast cancer patients: a qualitative inquiry of costs, financial assistance, health insurance, and financial coping behaviors.

Purpose: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients often face substantial financial burden due to prolonged and expensive therapy. However, in-depth experiences of financial burden among MBC patients are not well understood.

Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted to describe the experiences of financial burden for MBC patients, focusing on the drivers of financial burden, their experience using their health insurance, accessing financial assistance, and any resulting cost-coping behaviors.

Predictors of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Intention and Uptake Among US Hispanic Parents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study explored the influence of the Theory of Planned Behavior constructs on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (HPVV) intentions and uptake among Hispanic parents in South Florida for their children aged 9-21. A descriptive exploratory analysis was conducted using 39 surveys completed by Hispanic parents. These surveys encompassed demographic data and questions about HPVV uptake, intention, attitudes, subjective norms, knowledge, self-efficacy, and awareness.

Bearing (Aguantando) With Intimate Partner Violence: A Grounded Theory Study of Self-Silencing Among Hispanic Women Who Experienced Intimate Partner Violence.

Hispanic women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) face unique disparities. They have poorer health outcomes and are less likely to seek help than their non-Hispanic counterparts. When women remain in relationships where IPV occurs and refuse to disclose or seek treatment, they may resort to self-silencing, which can also worsen health outcomes.

Metformin Plus Insulin for Preexisting Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes in Early Pregnancy: The MOMPOD Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Insulin is recommended for pregnant persons with preexisting type 2 diabetes or diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy. The addition of metformin to insulin may improve neonatal outcomes.

Objective: To estimate the effect of metformin added to insulin for preexisting type 2 or diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy on a composite adverse neonatal outcome.

Sources of Well-Being for Hispanic Women Who Have Experienced Intimate Partner Violence: A Scoping Review.

This review sought to identify and integrate available evidence on various sources of Hispanic women's well-being following intimate partner violence (IPV). The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Four peer-reviewed databases were reviewed for studies published between 2007 and 2022.

A Mental Health Innovation for Nurse Home Visiting Program Shows Effectiveness in Reducing Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety.

The objective of this paper is to report on the effectiveness of a mental health addition to a national nurse-delivered home visiting program. The methods are as follows: analysis of pre/post-launch of the standard Mental Health Intervention and comparison of 356 teams randomized to standard versus enhanced implementation. Stepwise regression controlled for significant client characteristics that were related to relevant outcomes.

Anticoagulation for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.

Cardioembolic stroke from atrial fibrillation causes substantial death and disability in the United States. Treatment with oral anticoagulants provides safe and effective stroke prevention for high-risk patients. This article reviews strategies for the use of anticoagulation and highlights the nurse's role in patient education.

Innovative Projects: A Unique Approach to Telehealth Education.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth utilization grew astronomically, encouraging more institutions of higher education to become innovative and proactive in preparing health care providers to deliver high-quality telehealth care. Telehealth can be creatively implemented throughout health care curricula given the appropriate guidance and tools. This article speaks to the development of student telehealth projects as part of the work of a national taskforce funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration and charged with the development of a telehealth toolkit.

Reproductive period duration and cognitive function in postmenopausal Latina women in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL).

Objectives: A shorter reproductive period, a marker of estrogen exposure, has been related to cognitive impairment among older (>65 years) non-Hispanic White women. We explored whether reproductive period duration, age at menarche, and age at menopause are related to cognitive function among postmenopausal Hispanic/Latina women.

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used baseline (Visit 1: 2008-2011) data from 3630 postmenopausal women in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.

Gender-Affirming Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Care: A Program Evaluation and Quality Improvement Project at a Community-Based Rape Crisis Center.

Background: Transgender and non-binary (trans*) individuals face disproportionately high rates of sexual violence yet experience discrimination at rape crisis centers (RCCs). Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) who receive targeted education are better equipped to care for the trans* community.
