Methods of Teaching Transgender Health in Undergraduate Nursing Programs: A Narrative Review
Lim, F., & Eda, O. S. (2024). Nurse Educator, 49(3), 130-136. 10.1097/NNE.0000000000001558
Abstract
Background: Transgender populations experience disproportionately higher rates of mental and physical health issues such as suicidality and heart disease than their cisgender counterparts. Education of health professions students and providers is recognized as an effective method in mitigating transgender health disparities. Purpose: This narrative review investigated the methods in which transgender health is taught in undergraduate nursing programs. Suggestions for optimizing transgender health education are presented. Method: This review critically appraised and synthesized 28 articles that met these inclusion criteria: articles in English describing teaching strategies used in transgender health education with samples that include undergraduate nursing students. Results: Didactic lecture is the most widely used method, followed by role-play simulation, use of film and video, guest presentation, and high-fidelity and standardized patient simulation. Conclusion: Lectures remain the dominant method of delivering transgender health content. Improvements in students' knowledge and attitude related to transgender care were noted posteducation.

Mobile health–delivered narrative intervention to increase cervical cancer screening among Malawian women living with HIV: A pilot randomized controlled trial
Lee, H., Mtengezo, J. T., Makin, M. S., Shi, L., Malata, A., Fitzpatrick, J., Ngoma, J., Zhang, L., Larkey, L., Stuart-Shor, E., Mlombe, Y., & Kim, D. (2024). Asia-Pacific Journal of Oncology Nursing, 11(5). 10.1016/j.apjon.2024.100448
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a mobile health (mHealth)-delivered, theory-guided, culturally tailored storytelling narrative (STN) intervention to increase cervical cancer screening among Malawian women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods: This study involved two phases: Phase 1: development of a theory-guided and culturally adapted STN intervention and Phase 2: a pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three arms: Arm 1: tablet-based video (mHealth) with STN (n = 60); Arm 2: mHealth with a video of nonnarrative educational materials (n = 59); and Arm 3: control group with only reading nonnarrative educational materials in person (n = 60). Cervical cancer screening was measured using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) uptakes by self-report and health passport record review at 2 and 6 months after intervention. Results: Both arms 1 and 2 had nearly twice the rate of VIA uptakes than those in Arm 3 (51.0% and 50.0%, respectively, vs. 35.0%, P = 0.01) at 2 months follow-up, but there were no differences among groups from 2- to 6-month follow-ups. All groups demonstrated significant improvement of knowledge about risk factors, intention, and VIA uptakes. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on cervical cancer screening behavior and the feasibility of the study regarding recruitment, retention, treatment fidelity, and acceptability of the single 30-min session. The feasibility and the preliminary results of the effectiveness of the proposed study indicate scaling up the STN intervention to a larger population of women to increase cervical cancer screening uptake to prevent deaths due to cervical cancer in Malawi.

Movement is muscle in hospitalized adults
Brennan, M. M. (2024). Geriatric Nursing, 55, 373-375. 10.1016/j.gerinurse.2023.11.015
Abstract
Physical inactivity is a major public health concern, but for hospitalized adults, the results of immobility are even more alarming. The “trauma of hospitalization” is a syndrome that refers to the collective impact of immobility, sleep deficits, and malnutrition associated with hospitalization and contributes to functional deficits. Functional decline is a modifiable and preventable risk factor. Nursing, at the center of patient care, is poised to coordinate the patient's mobility activities. Multiple steps to stave off functional decline to improve health outcomes for older adults are in the control of nurses and nursing practice and reflect the goals of the NICHE practice model.
Navigating a "good Death" during COVID-19: Understanding Real-Time End-of-Life Care Structures, Processes, and Outcomes Through Clinical Notes
Franzosa, E., Kim, P. S., Moreines, L. T., McDonald, M. V., David, D., Boafo, J., Schulman-Green, D., Brody, A. A., & Aldridge, M. D. (2024). Gerontologist, 64(10). 10.1093/geront/gnae099
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic severely disrupted hospice care, yet there is little research regarding how widespread disruptions affected clinician and family decision-making. We aimed to understand how the pandemic affected structures, processes, and outcomes of end-of-life care. Research Design and Methods: Retrospective narrative chart review of electronic health records of 61 patients referred and admitted to hospice from 3 New York City geriatrics practices who died between March 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021. We linked longitudinal, unstructured medical, and hospice electronic health record notes to create a real-time, multiperspective trajectory of patients' interactions with providers using directed content analysis. Results: Most patients had dementia and were enrolled in hospice for 11 days. Care processes were shaped by structural factors (staffing, supplies, and governmental/institutional policies), and outcomes were prioritized by care teams and families (protecting safety, maintaining high-touch care, honoring patient values, and supporting patients emotionally and spiritually). Processes used to achieve these outcomes were decision-making, care delivery, supporting a "good death,"and emotional and spiritual support. Discussion and Implications: Care processes were negotiated throughout the end of life, with clinicians and families making in-the-moment decisions. Some adaptations were effective but also placed extraordinary pressure on paid and family caregivers. Healthcare teams' and families' goals to meet patients' end-of-life priorities can be supported by ongoing assessment of patient goals and process changes needed to support them, stronger structural supports for paid and family caregivers, incentivizing relationships across primary care and hospice teams, and extending social work and spiritual care.
