• Implement Sci . 2024 Sep Effects of implementation strategies on nursing practice and patient outcomes: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
    Feb 10 2026

    This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis investigates how specific professional-level implementation strategies influence the adoption of evidence-based nursing and the resulting quality of patient care. By analyzing hundreds of studies involving thousands of participants, the researchers found that active interventions—particularly tailored, multifaceted approaches and targeted education—consistently outperform passive methods in changing clinical behavior. While the research highlights that strategies like reminders and opinion leaderseffectively bridge the gap between theory and practice, it also notes that the impact on patient outcomes remains modest and varies based on environmental context. Ultimately, the text serves as a roadmap for healthcare organizations, suggesting that they can best improve nursing performance by deploying integrated strategies that address local barriers rather than relying on a single type of training.

  • Nurse Educ . 2023 May-Jun Prevalence of Stress and Anxiety Among Nursing Students
    Feb 10 2026

    This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes data from over one hundred studies to determine the frequency and severity of psychological distress within the nursing student population. The researchers discovered that while moderate stress and mild-to-moderate anxiety are common experiences across the board, students in the final two years of their education face significantly higher levels of severe stress than those just starting out. By identifying these specific patterns of struggle, the study serves as a call to action for academic leaders to implement targeted mental health assessments and supportive curriculum changes. Ultimately, the goal is to provide structured interventions that bolster student resilience throughout the increasingly demanding stages of their clinical training.

  • Intensive Crit Care Nurs . 2024 Dynamic delirium - Nursing intervention to reduce delirium in patients critically Ill, a randomized control trial
    Feb 9 2026

    This research study evaluates the effectiveness of the DyDel intervention, a non-pharmacological nursing strategy designed to combat the onset and severity of delirium in intensive care units. By moving beyond traditional medical care, this approach addresses a patient’s holistic needs—including spiritual and psychological health—while actively integrating family members into the recovery process. The clinical trial demonstrated that patients receiving this specialized care experienced significantly lower rates of delirium and required fewer physical restraints compared to those receiving standard treatment. Ultimately, the text advocates for a humanized model of nursing that treats the patient as a complete individual to improve clinical outcomes in high-stress environments.

  • International Journal of Nursing Studies May 2026 view family participation in patient care as a benefit or a burden. Researchers discovered that while institutional policies like flexible visiting hours promote positive perspectives, a nurse's internal state—specifically their level of burnout and emotional exhaustion—is a far more powerful predictor of their attitude. Interestingly, traditional demographics like age or education had no impact, whereas relational support and psychological well-being were essential for fostering a collaborative environment. Ultimately, the text argues that improving healthcare quality requires more than just new rules; it necessitates supporting the emotional health of clinicians to ensure families are integrated effectively into the healing process. Which individual and organizational factors shape nurses' attitudes toward family involvement in nursing care? A multicenter cross-sectional study
    Feb 4 2026

    This study investigates the complex factors that influence whether nurses view family participation in patient care as a benefit or a burden. Researchers discovered that while institutional policies like flexible visiting hours promote positive perspectives, a nurse's internal state—specifically their level of burnout and emotional exhaustion—is a far more powerful predictor of their attitude. Interestingly, traditional demographics like age or education had no impact, whereas relational support and psychological well-being were essential for fostering a collaborative environment.

  • International Journal of Nursing Studies May 2026 Development of a short version of the Delirium Observation Screening Scale (s-DOSS): A psychometric validation study
    Feb 4 2026

    This research details the creation and testing of a streamlined screening tool designed to identify delirium more efficiently in a hospital setting. By removing redundant or less effective questions from the original assessment, researchers developed a nine-item version that significantly decreases the workload for healthcare providers without sacrificing precision. The study demonstrates that this shorter scale maintains high diagnostic accuracy, effectively matching the performance of more complex methods. Ultimately, this refined approach aims to facilitate earlier medical intervention, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing the overall strain on the healthcare system.

  • International Journal of Nursing Studies May 2026, Why primary caregivers fail to report pediatric pain: A qualitative study
    Feb 4 2026

    This qualitative study explores the psychological and environmental hurdles that prevent family members from alerting medical staff when a child is in pain. By interviewing caregivers in a Chinese hospital, researchers discovered that silence is not merely an oversight but a complex decision-making process driven by how individuals perceive the severity of the threat and their ability to address it. Key findings suggest that reporting is often suppressed by attentional filtering, a cultural emphasis on pain tolerance, and perceived barriers within the healthcare setting. Ultimately, the text aims to provide a framework for targeted interventions that can reshape caregiver perceptions and ensure pediatric patients receive timely, effective relief.
