Recent Trends in Baccalaureate ‐Prepared Registered Nurses in U.S. Acute Care Hospital Units, 2004–2013: A Longitudinal Study
ConclusionsThere was a significant increase in the proportion of BSN RNs in U.S. acute care hospital units over the past decade, particularly after 2010. However, given the current trends, it is unlikely that the goal of 80% nurses with a baccalaureate degree will be achieved by 2020.

Development of a Course on Complex Humanitarian Emergencies: Preparation for the Impact of Climate Change
Abstract PurposeThe effects of climate change are far‐reaching and multifactorial, with potential impacts on food security and conflict. Large population movements, whether from the aftermath of natural disasters or resulting from conflict, can precipitate the need for humanitarian response in what can become complex humanitarian emergencies (CHEs). Nurses need to be prepared to respond to affected communities in need, whether the emergency is domestic or global. The purpose of the article is to describe a novel course for nursing students interested in practice within the confines of CHEs and natural disasters. Methods ...

Resistiveness to Care as Experienced by Family Caregivers Providing Care for Someone With Dementia
ConclusionsStudy findings represent family caregivers’ lived perceptions of resistiveness to care, which are different from current research findings regarding nurses’ perceptions of resistiveness to care. The identified meaning structure indicates focus areas for future research and for nursing interventions to help family caregivers manage their distress when experiencing resistiveness to care. Clinical RelevanceIdentification of the meaning caregivers ascribe to their lived experience of resistiveness to care (five essential constituents) provides nurses with opportunities to help family caregivers (coproviders of c...

The Design, Development, and Evaluation of a Qualitative Data Collection Application for Pregnant Women
ConclusionsThe app provides real‐time data and instant access to data alongside the ability to access participants from a variety of locations. This allows the researcher to gain insight into the experiences of participants through audio or video recordings in longitudinal studies without the need for constant interactions or interviews with participants. Clinical RelevanceUsing smartphone applications can allow researchers to access participants who are traditionally hard to reach and access their data in real time. Evaluating these apps before use in research is invaluable. (Source: Journal of Nursing Scholarship)

Climate Change Effects on Respiratory Health: Implications for Nursing
ConclusionsClimate change produces a number of changes to the natural and built environments that may potentially increase respiratory disease prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Nurses might consider focusing their research efforts on reducing the effects of greenhouse gases and in directing policy to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. Nurses can also continue to direct educational and clinical actions to reduce risks for all populations, but most importantly, for our most vulnerable groups. Clinical RelevanceWhile advancements have been made in understanding the impact of climate change on respiratory heal...
