Mindful Parenting and Parent Technology Use: Examining the Intersections and Outlining Future Research Directions
Get PDFPopular media attention and scientific research in both mindful parenting and technology use in the context of parenting has expanded in the 21st century; however, these two streams of research have largely evolved separately from one another. Thus, in this conceptual paper, we integrate the research on mindful parenting with that on parents’ technology use and parenting to examine how parent technology use may impact or be linked with aspects of mindful parenting. Mindful parenting theory outlines five key components: listening with full attention, self-regulation in the parent–child relationship, emotional awareness of self and child, nonjudgmental acceptance of self and child, and compassion for self and child. Parent technology use, in particular the use of mobile devices, has the potential to impact all five elements of mindful parenting. However, the relationship between mindful parenting and technology is complex, and there can be both positive and negative implications of parent technology use on mindful parenting. On the positive side, technology use might help parents regulate their emotions; access support; and develop more empathy, acceptance, and compassion for themselves and their children. Yet, parent technology use also has the potential to create distractions and disrupt parent–child interactions, which may make it more difficult for parents to listen with full attention, maintain awareness of their own and their child’s emotions, and calmly respond to child behaviors with intentionality. Technology use may also create more opportunities for social comparisons and judgement, making it more difficult for parents to accept their children nonjudgmentally and have compassion for their children as they are. Future research is needed to understand the conditions under which technology use can hinder or promote mindful parenting and how interventions can promote mindful parenting skills and a positive uses of technology
Differences Between Gender and Relationship Status in Motivations and Consequences of Consensual Sexting Among Emerging Adults
No full textAs sexting continues to develop as a facet of sexual behavior among emerging adults, it is important to examine precursors and outcomes of such behavior. Current research is beginning to examine potential positive outcomes of consensual sexting in addition to negative consequences, as well as the motivations and contexts in which these consequences manifest. The purpose of the present study was to examine motivations for consensual sexting across gender and relationship status, as well as a range of perceived consequences of sexting in undergraduate emerging adults (N = 536; 77.2% women). With regards to motivations for sexting, men and those in committed romantic relationships more frequently reported that their sexting was incited by relational motives compared to women and those in casual sexual relationships. In examining consequences of sexting, women reported higher levels of punishment compared to men. A significant interaction was present between gender and relationship status, revealing that women in casual sexual relationships reported the highest amounts of negative consequences. These findings highlight the complexity of sexting behaviors and suggest the need for more nuanced research to accurately conceptualize and contextualize the motivations for and the consequences of sexting as a function of relationship status and gender

The Use of Dye-Less Cystoscopy in Assessing Urinary-Tract Integrity During Hysterectomy.
No full textObjective: The goal of this research was to determine if dye can be omitted without affecting the accuracy of urinary-tract injury assessment during cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy.
Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized study was performed at a gynecologic oncology service in a tertiary-care center from July 2018 to June 2019. All patients undergoing hysterectomy for either benign and malignant indications were included. The study focused on the routine cystoscopy given to each patient per protocol. Patients were randomized into 2 main groups: (1) dye versus (2) no-dye, and then into 4 subgroups based on the distending media that was used (water or saline). A linear, continuous visual scale was used to grade ureteral jet strength. The time to visualization of ureteral jets was documented. The primary outcome measure was the degree of agreement between 2 observers\u27 ratings of ureteral jet strengths when urinary dye was used or when it was not used.
Results: According to Cronbach\u27s α, the correlation between 2 observers was 85.3% agreement for the strength of the right-side ureteral jets and 85.8% for the left side ureteral jets. The difference in jet strength between the dye and no-dye groups was statistically significant for evaluation of the right-side ureter but not clinically significant. No statistical significance for assessment of ureteral jet strength was noted between water and saline distension media nor was there a difference between the groups for time until first jet visualization.
Conclusions: Cystoscopy can be performed without using dye for ureter and bladder assessment during gynecologic surgeries

Endoscopic Management of Complex Colorectal Polyps: Current Insights and Future Trends
Get PDFMost colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps and sessile serrated lesions. Screening colonoscopy and therapeutic polypectomy can potentially reduce colorectal cancer burden by early detection and removal of these polyps, thus decreasing colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Most endoscopists are skilled in detecting and removing the vast majority of polyps endoscopically during a routine colonoscopy. Polyps can be considered “complex” based on size, location, morphology, underlying scar tissue, which are not amenable to removal by conventional endoscopic polypectomy techniques. They are technically more challenging to resect and carry an increased risk of complications. Most of these polyps were used to be managed by surgical intervention in the past. Rapid advancement in endoscopic resection techniques has led to a decreasing role of surgery in managing these complex polyps. These endoscopic resection techniques do require an expert in the field and advanced equipment to perform the procedure. In this review, we discuss various advanced endoscopic techniques for the management of complex polyps

Get PDFValidation of an evidence-based, nurse-designed fall risk assessment tool: Study 2
PI: Lindy Bilimek MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC
The ADAPT Fall Risk Assessment Tool was designed with the goal of decreasing instances of avoidable falls by providing nursing with the tools necessary to determine each patient’s risk of falling and to readily act upon these risk factors. The inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the ADAPT Fall Risk Assessment Tool will be evaluated in a real-world nursing setting.
Nursing and Support Staff Perceptions of Inpatient MyChart Utilization

The primary objective of this study is to assess MyChart use barriers identified by the nursing and patient care tech (PCT) workforce at Parkview using a workforce survey. The secondary aim is to identify facilitators that may increase patient MyChart utilization initiated by the nursing workforce. These objectives may inform strategies for increasing Patient MyChart use and future patient outcomes research as it relates to MyChart utilization
Self-Proning in Non-Intubated Patients with COVID-19: A Strategy to Avoid Intubation
Get PDFPoster presented at Nursing Research Symposium 2022.
Prone positioning improves oxygenation in patients experiencing respiratory distress. It is used to decrease mortality in mechanically ventilated patients diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, very little evidence has addressed use of prone positioning in nonintubated patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of early self-proning on oxygenation in patients who had or were suspected of having coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The goal was to improve oxygenation to avoid escalation to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the need for invasive mechanical ventilatio
Challenges of de-implementing feeding tube auscultation: A qualitative study.
No full textAIM: This qualitative study explored de-implementation of feeding tube auscultation practice in adult patients by critical care nurses.
BACKGROUND: Despite years of evidence suggesting inaccuracy and harm, auscultation (air bolus method) continues to be used by the majority of critical care nurses to verify small-bore feeding tube placement in adults.
DESIGN: This descriptive qualitative study used thematic analysis with telephone interview data.
METHODS: Fourteen critical care nurses from four stratified groups within the United States (by hospital type and auscultation practice) participated in telephone interviews.
RESULTS: Two major themes of individual influence and organizational leadership emerged from the data. Categories identified key components required for auscultation de-implementation.
CONCLUSIONS: Nurses feel obligated to follow hospital policies and expressed less accountability for their own practice. Organizational leadership involvement is recommended to facilitate de-implementation of this tradition-based, low-value practice and mitigate harm events
New-onset psychosis following COVID-19 infection in a patient with no psychiatric history: A longitudinal case report.
Get PDFBACKGROUND: Viral infection, including COVID-19, has been implicated as a potential cause of various neurobehavioral issues. An increasing number of case reports suggest that current or recent COVID-19 infection may cause new onset of psychotic symptoms in some individuals, potentially related to viral inflammation or infection of the nervous system.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman with no psychiatric history presented with severe psychotic symptoms days after recovery from a mild COVID-19 infection. No other etiologies for psychosis were identified via diagnostic testing, review of medical history, or interviews with family. Her symptoms persisted for approximately two months, requiring three inpatient admissions, various medication trials, and ongoing outpatient follow-up. With continued use of quetiapine and lithium, she returned to living independently and working full-time, and discontinued all medication approximately nine months after symptom onset.
CONCLUSION: The psychiatric and cognitive effects of COVID-19 infection are not yet fully understood. Given the widespread and ongoing nature of this pandemic, this remains an important focus of further investigation, especially within the context of potential long-term complications
