PURPOSE/AIM: To establish cultural considerations for people from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds at the end-of-life in Australia. BACKGROUND: Globally, there is a rapidly increasing proportion of the ageing population, and high levels of migration to Australia, the Australian healthcare community must recognise individualised and cultural needs when approaching death and end-of-life care. Many people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds do not traditionally practice the palliative care approaches that have been developed and practised in Australia...

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the status of retrieval practice in original research of nursing education. BACKGROUND: The science of learning is an emerging interdisciplinary field that offers evidence-based strategies to improve learning. One of the most highly effective strategies is retrieval practice, which involves recalling previously learned information from long-term memory prior to additional study. METHOD: Searching PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Psych INFO, and ERIC, an interprofessional team followed a formal scoping review framework and utilized the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews to report the findings...

The increasing prevalence and magnitude of harmful effects of substance use disorders (SUDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) make it imperative to embrace interventions which are acceptable, feasible, and effective in reducing this burden. Globally, the use of telehealth interventions is increasingly being explored as possible effective approaches in the management of SUDs. Using a scoping review of literature, this article summarizes and evaluates evidence for the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of telehealth interventions for SUDs in LMICs...

DESIGN: An integrative review DATA SOURCES: Systematic search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, AMED, EMBASE, and Psych INFO...

OBJECTIVE: The decision to breastfeed is influenced by physiological, psychological, and emotional factors. However, the importance of equipping mothers with the necessary knowledge for successful breastfeeding practice cannot be ruled out. Studies suggest that the decline in global breastfeeding rate can be linked to lack of adequate breastfeeding education during prenatal stage. Therefore, this review aims to determine the effectiveness of prenatal breastfeeding education on breastfeeding uptake postpartum...

BACKGROUND: Patients with primary malignant brain tumors (PMBTs) experience uncertainty in illness (UI) because of the high recurrence rate and symptoms that occur during treatment. OBJECTIVE: To develop and test a model based on the Uncertainty in Illness Theory to predict the UI and cancer coping experienced by PMBT patients. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using path analysis. The participants were adults diagnosed with PMBT who completed a questionnaire about demographic and disease-related characteristics, UI, cancer coping, brain tumor symptoms, and social support...

BACKGROUND: Transitions to long-term care are challenging for individuals and often associated with a loss of autonomy. Positive experiences are noted, especially when decisions involve the individual in a person-centred way which are respectful of the person's human rights. One approach which facilitates self-determination during a transitional period is shared decision-making, but there is a lack of clarity on the nature and extent of research evidence in this area. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and document research related to shared decision-making and transitioning to long-term care...

AIM: To report the evidence of women's experiences following a diagnosis of gestational breast cancer (GBC) and their interactions with the healthcare system. DESIGN: A systematic scoping review.

A 2020 PRISMA flow diagram depicting the flow of information. REVIEW METHODS: Guided by six steps in Arksey and OMalley's Framework (2005)...

The majority of psychoanalysts today admit that the body and the mind are not separate, but are on the contrary deeply intertwined with each other. Thus, it is possible to consider the psychic life as stemming from the vital necessity to process sensory information. Based on the recent discoveries of embryology, it becomes possible to rethink the consequences of the first inscriptions in the construction of the psyche, in connection with sensory experiences. This new knowledge makes it necessary to revise the metapsychology, making the first impulse appear as "tact-pulsion"...

For several years, psychiatry has been confronted with an unprecedented crisis, not to say a persistent malaise. In this context, psychiatry, under the yoke of neuroscience, is focused on the symptom, thus reducing the psyche to the brain. This new situation is undermining the values of nursing care. In order to continue to deal with patients suffering from serious mental pathologies, the team is a precious, necessary and unavoidable resource. We must now also take into account advanced practice nurses, professionals who have recently become established in the healthcare landscape...

In the Canadian forensic psychiatric context, the concepts of risk and dangerousness interact, intersect, and morph into the notion of significant threat to the safety of the public. Stemming from the results of a critical ethnography of the Ontario Review Board, this article unpacks the central role of forensic psychiatric nursing, as an example of a 'psych' discipline (e.g., psychiatry and psychology), in a system that is built to produce risky persons and to legitimize their detention and supervision. By using excerpt of interviews conducted with nurses, ethnographic observations of Review Board hearings, and other documentary artifacts, the findings illustrate how rationalizations of risk and dangerousness are contingent on space, time, and observer...

A psych nurse worries about the limits of virtual rapport with patients.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress, burnout, and intention to leave, moderated by empathic concern and perspective-taking. The data were collected via the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) measuring perspective-taking and empathic concern, Spielberger's Professional Stress Questionnaire, and a questionnaire measuring intention to leave. Medical doctors, nurses, and psychologists working in addiction facilities were surveyed...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This integrative review aimed to synthesise current evidence on the factors that precede and contribute to the occupational distress of emergency nurses. BACKGROUND: Emergency nurses practice within an environment challenged by demand exceeding capacity, an inability of staffing to meet this demand in addition to limited resources which contribute to form a unique risk to clinician and patient safety. The risk of occupational distress, while demonstrated across specialties, is noted to be highest in emergency nurses with subsequent impacts for clinicians, organisations and patients being explored...
