This groundbreaking annual review has provided nearly three decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to the field of nursing. The 33rd volume delivers the most current research on traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a focus on its implications for improving health and wellbeing. The book examines promising new interventions for individuals suffering from TBI with supporting research about their efficaciousness. Invited experts--highly respected nurse scientists working in a variety of TBI-related arenas--stress outcomes and symptom development post-TBI. The Review encompasses current military research on TBI along with animal models in TBI research. It addresses the relationship of sleep disorders to TBI-related PSTD; biomarkers related to recovery from TBI; genomics, transciptomics, and epigenomics; cerebral perfusion pressure and intracranial pressure in TBI; and an informatics system for TBI research. Also covered are TBI in pediatrics and in caregiver research. Additionally, the Review also provides a unique literature review of under-reported research.

One of the most challenging aspects of the current healthcare system, especially for nurses, is cultural diversity across a variety of societies. Nurses, caregivers, and other practitioners must be equipped and aware of their patients’ cultural background in order to respond appropriately and sensitively while providing the proper care. Clearly the techniques and beliefs within cultures is highly diverse, requiring those providing care to possess knowledge that allows them to combine global and cultural practices into their day-to-day occupation. This consist of not only learning cultural differences and similarities, but examining nursing throughout other parts of the world, and the health problems being faced in different geographical settings. This volume is intended to provide nurses, physicians, specialists, and providers with the information needed to provide capable care and treatment to individuals of diverse cultures. Each chapter author was selected for their interest and knowledge of transcultural and social research. The content of this volume provides a look at classic contributions to the field, up-to-date research, and evaluates the impact of diverse cultures on issues that may affect nursing and health care, such as: Key Topics: Leininger’s Culture Care Diversity and Universality The Current State of Transcultural Nursing Transcultural Mental Health Nursing Culture and Consent in Clinical Care Obesity Among African Immigrant Populations Cultural Factors Influencing Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors

Annual Review of Nursing Research has provided nearly four decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to nurses everywhere. Its purpose is to critically examine the full gamut of literature on key topics in nursing practice, including nursing theory, care delivery, nursing education, and the professional aspects of nursing. This landmark annual review brings together internationally recognized experts in the fields of nursing and delivers the highest standards of content and authoritative reviews of research for students, researchers, and clinicians. In today’s climate, healthcare simulation is more important than ever. Creating consistent, leveled experiences through high-quality simulation allows students and practitioners the opportunity to learn in a safe and immersive environment. This 39th volume of Annual Review of Nursing Research addresses the current state of healthcare simulation in both academic and professional settings. Articles are written by noted experts in the field and discuss extended reality, new technologies, briefing, outcome evaluation, and professional development. Key Topics: Discusses simulation use in undergraduate and graduate education Features a new debriefing tool on interprofessional simulation Addresses current considerations for effective operations in simulation Highlights the use of virtual and augmented realities, as well as 3D printing

The purpose of this volume of the Annual Review of Nursing Research is to provide an introduction for nurses and other health professionals as they begin to study policy. It includes chapters that consider policy triggers, policy development, policy implementation, and policy outcome evaluation. Chapters have been included to explore healthcare policy across the spectrum, starting with the first spark that ignites an idea which leads to policy. This volume provides readers with new insights on how policies impact health, both positively and negatively, how policies come into being, are implemented, and how the effects of policy interventions are evaluated. Chapters aim to encourage all clinicians to consider how policy, at all levels, impacts individual patients, communities, and the health care delivery system. Our nation’s health-care system is currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation that provides nurses and the nursing profession with distinct challenges and exciting opportunities to provide visionary leadership, commensurate with its ever-increasing numbers of educated professionals. Key Topics: The Use of Restraint in Civilian and Military Health Care Settings “Playing the Movie Directly”: Perceptions of Tobacco Content in Video Games Body Art in the Perioperative Setting Ethical Consideration for Nursing Research With Military Populations Using Nursing Science to Inform Health Policy: The Role of the National Institute of Nursing Research Engaging in Policy During Graduate Training A Policy Apprenticeship in the Office of U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye

This groundbreaking annual review has provided over three decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to the field of nursing. The 34th volume presents abundant new research devoted to examining and forwarding the field of modern ethics in nursing. It reflects the rapid acceleration of change in the roles and responsibilities of nurses and the concurrent need for reexamination of professional ethical values. Articles focus on creating nurses who are able to negotiate, adapt, and provide excellent care to patients as they take on greater administrative duties, rely more on technology, and assume some of the roles and responsibilities of physicians. Chapters are comprised of carefully selected articles that underscore the importance of in-depth ethical education and professional character development in the nursing classroom, and its continued evolution as nurses adapt to a changing health care environment throughout their careers. They include examples of contemporary health care dilemmas and how nurses have used ethical values to guide their behavior in situations where they encounter highly vulnerable patients; address ethical problems relating to family issues such as self-neglect and the wellbeing of children in military families; and systems-of-care issues regarding genetics, smart home technologies for older adults, interprofessional collaboration, and post-deployment reintegration. Key Topics: Nursing Ethics: A Lifelong Commitment Ethical Analysis of Family Impact of Mental Health Stigma Ethical Issues in Family Care Ethical Considerations in Self-Neglect The Effects of Parental Service on the Wellbeing of our Youngest Military Members Ethics of Genetics in Primary Care Ethics of Smart Home Technologies for Older Adults Post-Deployment Reintegration: The Ethics of Embodied Personal Presence and the Formation of Military Meaning Ethical Issues Encountered by Military Nurses

This landmark annual review has provided nearly four decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to nurses everywhere.
