Older Patients’ Experiences of Heart Failure—An Integrative Literature Review
ConclusionsOlder patients with HF have poor health‐related quality of life compared with controls and experience severe and frequent symptoms of fatigue and dyspnea that limit several aspects of their life, making them dependent on others for survival. The variety of ways in which older patients cope with these consequences is determined by how they understand their illness, with the majority showing poor health literacy in relation to HF. Neither self‐management nor symptom monitoring is ideal in older patients with HF, although person‐centered interventions such as motivational interviewing show promising results i...

Successful Aging Among Assisted Living Community Older Adults
ConclusionsThis research demonstrated that successful aging does exist in ALC residents.
Clinical RelevanceThe size of the older adult population will proliferate dramatically during the next two decades. Many of these individuals will find themselves living in ALCs; therefore, it is important to continue to strive to understand what successful aging looks like in these individuals in order to adopt meaningful practices and interventions aimed at eliciting successful aging responses in those living in these communities.

Nurses’ Preparedness and Perceived Competence in Managing Disasters
ConclusionsGlobal increases in natural and human‐induced disasters have called attention to the part that health providers play in mitigation and recovery. Since nurses are involved in planning, mitigation, response, and recovery aspects of disasters, they should actively seek opportunities to participate in actual disaster events, mock drills, and further educational opportunities specific to disaster preparedness. Administrators must support and encourage disaster preparedness education of nurses to promote hospital readiness to provide community care delivery in the event of a disaster situation.

The Global Nursing Faculty Shortage: Status and Solutions for Change
ConclusionsResults point to a needed change in direction and approach to solving the nursing faculty shortage. By designing new education models that fit global healthcare needs and pooling teaching resources, designing and using the same databases across organizations to track and project faculty needs, and collaborating between schools and businesses to create mutually beneficial agreements for services, nursing faculty capacity can be enhanced, and nursing's capacity to meet global healthcare needs can be expanded.

Development of a Proactive Care Program (U‐CARE) to Preserve Physical Functioning of Frail Older People in Primary Care
ConclusionsUsing the MRC Framework, a detailed description of the development process of the innovative U‐CARE program is provided, which is often missing in reports of complex intervention trials. Based on our feasibility‐pilot study, the general practitioners and the registered practice nurses indicated that the U‐CARE intervention is feasible in clinical practice.
Clinical RelevancesThe U‐CARE program consists of promising components and has the potential to improve the care of older patients. (Source: Journal of Nursing Scholarship)

The Meaning of Evidence‐Based Management to Brazilian Senior Nurse Leaders
ConclusionsEvidence‐based management necessitates a continuous process of locating, implementing, and evaluating evidence. In this study leaders provided multiple, concrete examples of all these processes except seeking out and locating evidence. They also gave examples of other leadership skills associated with successful adoption of evidence‐based practice and management, particularly interdisciplinary teamwork and shared decision making.
Clinical RelevanceThis study demonstrates senior nurse leaders’ awareness and utilization of evidence‐based management. The study also suggests what aspects of evidence‐based ...

Job‐Related Stress, Emotional Labor, and Depressive Symptoms Among Korean Nurses
ConclusionsFindings indicate that programs for nurses need to be created that will help reduce expectations for surface acting and control job‐related stress, thus preventing the development of depressive symptoms.
Clinical RelevanceThis study has implications for human resources management in nursing organizations. If nursing administrators understand that nurses may suffer from depressive symptoms, they can strive to improve stressful work conditions, develop programs that ease job‐related stress, and reduce the chances that depressive symptoms will occur.

Predicting Quality of Work Life on Nurses’ Intention to Leave
ConclusionsThis study showed that individual‐related variables (being single, having a diploma or lower educational level), a work‐related variable (working at a nonteaching hospital), and the four QWL dimensions play a significant role in nurses’ ITLorg. After the QWL dimensions were added to the regression, the variance explained by the model more than doubled.

Verbal Abuse From Nurse Colleagues and Work Environment of Early Career Registered Nurses
ConclusionsData support the hypothesis that early career RNs are vulnerable to the effects of verbal abuse from nurse colleagues. Although more verbal abuse is seen in environments with unfavorable working conditions, and RNs working in such environments tend to have less favorable work attitudes, one cannot assume causality. It is unclear if poor working conditions create an environment where verbal abuse is tolerated or if verbal abuse creates an unfavorable work environment.
Clinical RelevanceThere is a need to develop and test evidence‐based interventions to deal with the problems inherent with verbal abuse from nurs...

A Systematic Review of the Interventions for Nipple Trauma in Breastfeeding Mothers
ConclusionsConsidering the treatments investigated, the most favorable evidence indicates the use of lanolin alone or in association with breast protection shells and breast milk expressed and rubbed into the nipple and areola after each feeding session. However, the results obtained in this review are inconclusive, indicating the need for further studies in order to clarify the action of breast milk and lanolin on the damaged tissues, as well as studies involving samples representative of the number needed to treat.

Cardiovascular Genomics
Conclusions: Currently, there are no clinically recommended genetic tests for many common forms of CVD even though direct‐to‐consumer genetic tests are being marketed to healthcare providers and the general public. On the other hand, genetic testing for patients with certain single gene conditions, including channelopathies (e.g., LQTS) and cardiomyopathies (e.g., HCM), is recommended clinically.

Gender Differences Regarding Informal Caregivers of Older People
Conclusions: Because this study was conducted in Spain, a country with strong patriarchal norms with regard to caregiving and familism, whereas gender differences in intensity of care have been reported in countries with low familism, we conclude that cultural diversity can influence the relationship between gender and intensity of care. On the other hand, our study increases the evidence in support of there being gender‐based differences in subjective burden among family caregivers serving older people in Western industrial countries. Finally, the results of our study support the hypothesis that sources of satisfaction ...
