Nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to practice hospice care: An analysis of influencing factors

Lin Chen, Xiao-Hong Li, Xiao Pan, Qi-Ni Pan, Hui-Qiao Huang, Pin-Yue Tao, Gao-Ye Li, Jin-Hui Ma, Jing-Can Huang

Summary: This study found a knowledge gap and moderate attitudes toward hospice care among nurses, and most nurses did not prefer to practice hospice care. Having been trained in hospice care was the main common factor of nurses' knowledge of, attitudes toward, and willingness to practice hospice care in the future, indicating the necessity to provide nurses with more targeted hospice care training.

Tamara Escoto Mengual, Elena Chover-Sierra, Maria Luisa Ballestar-Tarin, Carles Saus-Ortega, Vicente Gea-Caballero, Natura Colomer-Perez, Antonio Martinez-Sabater

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of primary care nurses in Spain towards palliative care. A total of 244 nurses were surveyed using the PCQN-SV and FATCOD-S scales. The results showed that 60% of the answers on the PCQN-SV were correct, indicating a moderate level of knowledge in palliative care. Nurses had a positive attitude towards caring for the dying, with an average score of 132.21 out of 150 on the FATCOD-S scale. Nurses with experience and training in palliative care had higher levels of knowledge and more positive attitudes. However, these differences were only significant in terms of knowledge.

Improving sleep health management in primary care: A potential role for community nurses?

Mariam M. Basheti, Zeeta Bawa, Ronald Grunstein, Nicole Grivell, Bandana Saini, Christopher J. Gordon

Summary: This study aims to explore community nurses' sleep health practices and their perspectives on improving sleep health care provision. The findings indicate that community nurses lack knowledge and standardized care pathways for managing sleep disturbances/disorders, particularly insomnia. Providing appropriate resources, such as increased sleep-related education and standardized treatment frameworks, could enable community nurses to better manage sleep disturbance presentations and improve treatment provision.

Paid Care for People with Functional Impairment and Serious Illness: Results from the Health and Retirement Study

Jennifer M. Reckrey, Hannah Kleijwegt, R. Sean Morrison, Stephanie Nothelle, Amy S. Kelley, Katherine A. Ornstein

Summary: This study characterized the recipients of paid care and identified factors associated with the receipt of paid care in the context of serious illness and socioeconomic status. The findings showed that individuals with both dementia and non-dementia serious illness, along with functional impairment, received the most paid care. In addition, the highest income quartile and those with non-dementia serious illness were more likely to receive paid care.

Registered nurses and undergraduate nursing students' attitudes to performing end-of-life care

Sofi Fristedt, Annika Grynne, Christina Melin-Johansson, Ingela Henoch, Carina Lundh Hagelin, Maria Browall

Summary: This study examined the differences in attitudes towards end-of-life care between registered nurses (RNs) and undergraduate nursing students (UNSs). Factors such as clinical experience and specialization programs were found to influence RNs' attitudes towards EOL care. The results suggest a need for further continuing education in end-of-life care for RNs in all clinical specialities to promote open discussions about death and improve attitudes towards EOL care.

Addressing Advance Care Planning in Patients With COPD

Emily K. Rose, James O'Connor

Summary: COPD is a progressive disease that affects patients' quality of life, and it is crucial to discuss patients' care goals before the disease becomes refractory. Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a comprehensive approach to discussing goals with patients. Existing research has shown that ACP improves communication, reduces hospital admissions, and enhances quality of life, although most studies have focused on cancer patients. Without further research and guidance, obtaining funding for ACP programs dedicated to COPD may be challenging. There are currently no guidelines for addressing ACP in patients with COPD, and barriers exist that hinder meaningful discussions between patients, families, and healthcare providers. Research has also indicated that multidisciplinary teams can improve care and quality of life. Therefore, dedicated research should investigate the effects of ACP initiatives on outcomes in COPD patients, particularly in reducing hospital admissions and improving quality of life.

The Most Undertreated Chronic Disease: Addressing Obesity in Primary Care Settings

Shanna Tucker, Carolyn Bramante, Molly Conroy, Angela Fitch, Adam Gilden, Sandra Wittleder, Melanie Jay

Summary: Obesity itself is often undertreated in primary care settings, despite the frequent treatment of obesity-related comorbidities. The development of multiple mechanisms to resist weight loss and promote weight regain makes long-term weight management challenging. Strategies such as shared decision-making, utilizing telehealth, and community partnering can improve patient access to intensive behavioral interventions for obesity care in primary care settings.

Evaluating the implementation fidelity to a successful nurse-led model (INTERCARE) which reduced nursing home unplanned hospitalisations

Raphaelle A. Guerbaai, Sabina DeGeest, Lori L. Popejoy, Michael Simon, Nathalie I. H. Wellens, Kris Denhaerynck, Franziska Zuniga

Summary: This study investigates the impact of implementation fidelity on unplanned transfers and finds that higher fidelity is associated with lower rates of unplanned hospital transfers. Specifically, higher fidelity to advance care planning is linked to lower rates of unplanned transfers, while lower fidelity in communication tools is linked to higher rates of unplanned transfers. The study also identifies collaborative in-house physicians and staff's perceived need for nurses in extended roles as important moderators for achieving and sustaining high fidelity.

'Snapshot' cohort study design across multi-site research settings: challenges, strategies, and solutions

Thitipong Tankumpuan, Suratsawadee Kruahong, Chitchanok Benjasirisan, Patricia M. Davidson

Summary: Multi-site research studies are important in providing a cross-sectional snapshot of patients and monitoring them over time to evaluate outcomes. Careful design is crucial to minimize potential biases, and addressing snapshot study challenges requires strategic solutions such as multi-stage sampling for representativeness, rigorous data collection training, translation and validation techniques for cultural and linguistic appropriateness, streamlined ethical approval processes, and comprehensive data management for follow-up and missing data. These strategies can optimize the efficacy and ethicality of snapshot studies.
