Randomized Controlled Trial
The effectiveness of crisis resource management and team debriefing in resuscitation education of nursing students: A randomised controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to investigate (i) whether integrating a course on crisis resource management principles and team debriefings in simulation training, increases self-efficacy, team efficacy and technical skills of nursing students in resuscitation settings and (ii) which phases contribute the most to these outcomes. ⋯ By partnering with healthcare settings, it becomes possible to offer interdisciplinary simulation training that can increase patient safety.

To explore how critically ill patients treated according to a strategy of analgosedation experience and handle pain, other discomforts and wakefulness. ⋯ Despite good pain relief during analgosedation, other discomforts were commonly described. Critically ill patients still experience an intensive care unit stay as a traumatic part of their illness trajectory. Nurses need to attend carefully also to discomforts other than pain.

To clarify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients' perspectives on treatment with noninvasive ventilation and develop management strategies for the treatment based on these perspectives. ⋯ Focus on patients' perspectives in treatment with noninvasive ventilation resulted in the development of new management strategies regarding patient care, joint ward rounds, and in addition, one room at the ward, to which a nurse was assigned, was designated for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated with noninvasive ventilation.

To develop nursing-sensitive patient indicators to measure the outcomes of nursing practice. ⋯ The identification of concepts that patients and nurses consider important for measuring nursing practice will guide the development of methods for evaluating nursing in the future. Ensuring that nursing practice is rigorously evaluated has the potential to identify opportunities to improve nursing quality, patient safety and improve health outcomes.

Comparative Study
Impact of a webcast on nurses' delivery of tobacco dependence treatment.
To evaluate an educational programme about nurses' role in tobacco dependence treatment, and its webcast component, on the long-term impact of increasing the frequency of nurses' self-reported changes in practice related to delivery of smoking cessation interventions. ⋯ Distance learning is a feasible mechanism for enhancing nurses' involvement in tobacco dependence treatment and promoting evidence-based clinical practice.
