Summary: This study conducted a critical ethnographic research on the involvement of family members in LTC homes in British Columbia, Canada from 2014 to 2018. The findings reveal that family members play a crucial role in filling the gaps caused by understaffing and lack of resources in LTC homes. They respond to the needs of residents, support staff in meeting residents' needs, and provide care for residents who do not have their own family members present. Formal policies and legislation should be established to recognize and support family involvement in caring for nonrelative residents as it contributes to the overall quality of care.

Summary: The aim of this review was to identify the factors that influence nurses' adoption of information and communication technology. A systematic review was conducted using qualitative and quantitative studies. The review found that collaboration, leadership, individual factors (such as age, experience, attitude, and knowledge), and team factors are important in nurses' adoption of information and communication technology. However, there is insufficient evidence to fully support the influence of these factors.

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new model for ICU follow-up co-designed by nurses from four different wards. The study compares the checklist with an alternative attention-to list and suggests a new model that accommodates both ICU and general ward contexts. The findings show that the new model, characterized by being goal-oriented and putting nursing expertise at its core, overcomes the obstacles faced by the traditional checklist approach.

Summary: This study investigates the associations between informal caregiver's characteristics and their willingness to pay for digital support services in Italy and Sweden. The study found that more than half of the participants were willing to pay for digital support services. A recommendation by a healthcare professional was identified as the top motivating factor. Caregiver's gender, care duration, household income, and monthly spending on professional caregiving services were all associated with willingness to pay.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of patient portal use on the level of interprofessional collaboration between clinicians and patients in mental health settings. While the quantitative data showed nonsignificant changes in interprofessional collaboration scores over time, the narrative accounts of patients described how the portal can support various interprofessional collaboration concepts such as communication, leadership, and conflict resolution. This provides valuable insights for clinicians using a portal in a mental health setting to support the interprofessional relationship.

Summary: This study identified clinical phenotypes of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and investigated their longitudinal dynamics throughout the pandemic. Four distinct clinical phenotypes were associated with different mortality rates and showed variability across different viral variants. Factors such as sex, race/ethnicity, and treatment modalities revealed significant differences between the observed phenotypes. This methodology has the potential to guide evidence-based treatment strategies in a dynamic fashion.

Summary: This scoping review investigates the use of home-based technological tools to improve physical function in older adults. The majority of studies suggest high levels of technology usage and positive health outcomes. However, the lack of international consensus on technology usage measures and the exclusion of older adults without technology ownership or experience may limit the findings.
