Summary: This study aimed to objectively measure nursing care delivery before and after the introduction of an EMR. The findings indicated a slight increase in time spent on direct care tasks, a significant increase in time per direct care task, and a reduction in time spent on transit and indirect care tasks when using electronic workflows. These results suggest that successful EMR implementation can improve efficiency in nursing care delivery.

Summary: The study found that nearly half of HIV-positive individuals had never been tested for HIV prior to diagnosis, with the most common reason being perceived lack of necessity. Those who had never been tested were more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage of HIV infection. Common risk factors associated with lack of previous HIV testing included older age, lower education level, diagnosis through medical care, and heterosexual transmission.

Summary: This study examined HIV-related stigma among adults living with HIV on the Kenyan coast. The 12-item short version of the Berger HIV stigma scale showed high reliability and validity in measuring HIV stigma. The study found that being female, non-disclosure of HIV status, and co-occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms were significant predictors of HIV-related stigma.

Summary: Despite decreased rates of new infections, HIV/AIDS continues to impact certain US populations. Implementation science is needed to expand the sustained use of effective prevention and treatment interventions, particularly among priority populations at risk for and living with HIV/AIDS. A comprehensive review of the literature is necessary to enhance current knowledge and help achieve the goals laid out in the national strategic plan.
