The Impact of Social Support Networks on Family Resilience in an Australian Intensive Care Unit: A Constructivist Grounded Theory
ConclusionsThis study offers a framework to improve patient ‐ and family‐centered care in the ICU by facilitating families’ ability to manage their situation more effectively. Social support offered by family members facilitates the families’ ability to regain control. An ICU family resilience theoretical framework, situated within the context of the Australian healthcare system, adds to what is currently known about the families’ experiences in the ICU.Clinical RelevanceThe relationships that develop between families in the ICU may provide a source of social support; however, not all families welcome interaction...

Implementation Quality: Implications for Intervention and Translational Science
ConclusionsThe investigators describe the necessary infrastructure and support for capturing IQ data and the subsequent complexities and challenges of collecting, measuring, and analyzing these data. Understanding IQ is critical to advancing translational science. Such understanding informs application of appropriate IQ measures, and promotes effective translation of evidence ‐based interventions into practice. Policy changes are needed to promote IQ assessment to ensure high‐quality clinical encounters during which interventions are effectively delivered.Clinical RelevanceIn both research and practice settings, the co...

Nursing Diagnoses as Predictors of Hospital Length of Stay: A Prospective Observational Study
ConclusionsThe number of nursing diagnoses is a strong independent predictor of an effective hospital length of stay and of a length of stay longer than expected.Clinical RelevanceThe systematic inclusion of standard nursing care data in electronic health records can improve the predictive ability on hospital outcomes and describe the patient complexity more comprehensively, improving hospital management efficiency.
