Advanced practice in neonatal nursing., Wallman C
The participation of advanced practice registered nurses in neonatal care continues to be accepted and supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Recognized categories of advanced practice neonatal nursing are the neonatal clinical nurse specialist and the neonatal nurse practitioner. Published 1 June 2009 in Pediatrics, 123(6): 1606-7. Articles on Nursing published 1 June 2009: Are starting and continuing breastfeeding related to educational background? The generation R study. Pediatrics, 123(6): e1017-27. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of a woman's educational level on starting and continuing breastfeeding and to assess the role of sociodemographic, lifestyle-related, psychosocial, and birth characteristics in this association. METHODS: We used the data of 2914 participants in a population-based prospective cohort study. Information on educational level, breastfeeding, sociodemographic (maternal age, single parenthood, parity, job status), lifestyle-related (BMI, smoking, alcohol use), ...

The military might just provide a way to curtail the nursing shortage. [Abstract] [Full-text] Articles on Nursing published 25 May 2009: Falls in the nursing home: a collaborative approach. Nurs Clin North Am, 44(2): 187-95. Problem solving using a collaborative approach may reduce the risk of falls in the nursing home. Interventions need to be tailored to the individual's cognitive and physical impairments as well as be feasible in the particular long-term care setting. Polypharmacy, Vitamin D deficiency, delirium, and urinary incontinence are among several risks for falls that are discussed in this article. [Abstract] [Full-text] The nursing workforce in long-term care. Nurs Clin North Am, 44(2): 161-8. Nurses play an essential role in long-term care (LTC). They can and should do more to create the kind of services and supports that people seek for themselves and for their families. To provide this crucial leadership, nurses must understand and advocate the array of services and programs that fall within the term "LTC," including, but not limited to, "nursing home care." We need to reframe how we think about LTC so that we can be part of changing it for ourselves, as ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Articles on Nursing published 18 May 2009: Application of repeated-measures analysis of variance and hierarchical linear model in nursing research. Nurs Res, 58(3): 211-7. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to describe how repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the hierarchical linear model (HLM) are used to evaluate intervention effect and to compare these methods, especially in relation to their requirements regarding assumptions, number of repeated measures, completeness of repeated measures, and equal intervals between measurements. APPROACH: Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS) data sets (101 residents in 14 nursing homes, five times) ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Theory synthesis for self-neglect: a health and social phenomenon. Nurs Res, 58(3): 194-200. BACKGROUND: Self-neglect, best known for its prominent place in the elder mistreatment framework, is a phenomenon associated with a variety of health and social conditions. However, a second, less worrisome group of older adults with chronic disease exhibits similar patterns of nonadherence and inadequate self-care practices and has the potential for progression. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this theory-validating research was to describe characteristics and behaviors of self-neglect in adults ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Articles on Nursing published 8 May 2009: Psychometric evaluation of the Revised Professional Practice Environment (RPPE) scale. J Nurs Adm, 39(5): 236-43. OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to examine the psychometric properties of the Revised Professional Practice Environment (RPPE) scale. BACKGROUND: Despite renewed focus on studying health professionals' practice environments, there are still few reliable and valid instruments available to assist nurse administrators in decision making. METHODS: A psychometric evaluation using a random-sample cross-validation procedure (calibration sample [CS], n = 775; validation sample [VS], n = 775) was undertaken. ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Development and psychometric testing of a tool to measure missed nursing care. J Nurs Adm, 39(5): 211-9. BACKGROUND: In a qualitative study, medical-surgical and intensive care staff nurses reported that they did not complete a significant amount of nursing care on regular basis. Thus, it was determined that a quantitative tool was needed to measure the amount and type of missed nursing care and the reasons for missing care. OBJECTIVE: The authors report the results of a psychometric evaluation of this tool (The Missed Nursing Care Survey [MISSCARE Survey]) to measure missed nursing care (part A) ...
