Summary: Current electronic health records are ineffective in identifying patient priorities and care needs, requiring nurses to search for clinically meaningful information. Our study focuses on identifying format preferences after random assignment and interaction to different formats (text only, text+table, text+graph). Being assigned to the text+graph significantly increased the preference for graph, while being assigned to text only or text+table was not significantly associated with format preference. Understanding graph content did not significantly influence preference for graphs. Further studies are needed to enhance our understanding of how format preferences influence the use and processing of displayed information.

Summary: This study aimed to assess parents' evaluation of health education practices for children and teenagers. The results showed that the majority of parents feel comfortable talking to nurses about their children's health, believe that nurses have time available to clarify doubts, and acknowledge nurses' ability to identify the needs of children and teenagers. Healthy eating, the National Vaccination Plan, and harmful behaviors prevention were identified as the most important health education topics.

Summary: This study aimed to assess parents' views on health education practices for children and teenagers. The results showed that parents were generally comfortable talking to nurses about their children's health, and believed that nurses had time to address their concerns. The most important topics identified were healthy eating, the national vaccination plan, and harmful behavior prevention. When in doubt, parents tended to consult a pediatrician first, considering it equally important as other nursing interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to explore how hospital nurses perceive their current role and preferred role in shared decision-making about potentially life-prolonging treatment in patients in the last phase of life. The results showed a discrepancy between nurses' preferred role and their actual role in decision-making, indicating a need for more effort to increase nurses' involvement.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the practice experiences of home-based care nurses to understand their competency and needs. Through individual interviews with 17 nurses, it was found that nurses in home-based care perform a broader range of competencies with a significant degree of independence. The findings suggest a need for better understanding of the broader scope of nursing practice in home-based care to improve nurses' transition experience.

Summary: Shared decision-making is a concept that enhances patient autonomy and involves a trustful relationship between patients and health professionals. It is a process that requires clarification of patient's willingness to participate from the beginning and should be visible throughout the decision-making process.

Summary: Nurses play a crucial supportive role in shared decision-making about life-prolonging treatment, but not all nurses have the same level of involvement. By checking decision quality, complementing, and facilitating shared decision-making, nurses can enhance the decision-making process. Identified pre-conditions for nurses' involvement include information transfer, positive culture towards nurses' involvement, good relationship with physicians, knowledge and skills, sufficient time, and good relationship with patients.

Summary: This study aims to use eye-tracking methods to assess nurse decision making during a clinical simulation. The gaze patterns of 8 experienced nurses managing a simulated stroke patient were observed, and it was found that nurses who recognized the stroke focused more on the vital sign monitor and the patient's head, suggesting these locations were consistently examined by decision-makers.

Summary: This study explores how nurses' professional discretion is operationalized in home care services that follow a purchaser-provider organization in Norway. The findings reveal that nurses are dependent on an organizational framework while also needing flexibility and professional discretion to meet the patients' needs. The purchaser-provider model both facilitates and constrains nursing practice and professional responsibility, and the study's results can help home care managers and health policy-makers in understanding the interaction between management logic and health care logic, leading to a more appropriate organization of health care services.

Summary: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of patients and nurses regarding medication-related shared decision making (SDM), including familiarity with the concept, application of medication-related SDM, barriers and facilitators towards its application, and their role perceptions. The study found that the application of SDM by nurses in oncology regarding medication is limited. Patients value the contribution of nurses in SDM and perceive them as key persons due to their advocacy, informative, facilitating, and supportive role. The desire for involvement in medication-related decisions is determined by individual and contextual factors.

Summary: This article reviews the research on clinical decision support tools in long-term care facilities and finds that these tools have the potential to improve care delivery and health outcomes in areas such as medication management, pressure ulcer prevention, and dementia management. However, there is variability in results due to the diversity of tool types, users, and contexts, as well as limited validation.
