BACKGROUND Nurses experience poor quality of life due to workload and role stress. In this study, a spirituality-based intervention was administered to nurse managers. METHOD A total of 45 nurse managers participated in the study; 24 were assigned to the experimental group, and 21 were assigned to a control group. The Holy Name Meditation Program was provided solely to the experimental group. Pretest, posttest 1 (5 weeks after the intervention), posttest 2 (12 weeks after the intervention), and posttest 3 (24 weeks after the intervention) data were gathered on seven variables, including spiritual well-being, spiritual needs, job satisfaction, leadership, burnout, depression, and self-efficacy. RESULTS The experimental group showed significant improvement in spiritual well-being (p less then .001), spiritual needs (p = .029), and job satisfaction (p = .005) until the 24-week follow-up. Burnout (p less then .001), depression and anxiety (p = .034), and self-efficacy (p = .024) showed significant improvement until the 12-week follow-up. Depression and anxiety (p = .053) showed decreasing tendency until the 24-week follow-up. CONCLUSION Evidence suggests this program promotes spiritual and psychosocial well-being of nurse managers.

Yet, little is known about whether such programs improve or sustain nurses' EBP values, knowledge, and implementation. METHOD A two-group longitudinal posttest-only study was conducted using a convenience sample of 115 RNs; 51 participants received a comprehensive EBP continuing education intervention, and 64 participants received no intervention. RESULTS Participation rates were 85% at 6 months and 65% at 12 months. Knowledge scores between the two groups were significantly different at 6 months and sustained at 12 months, although the intervention group comprised more master's-prepared nurses. EBP values and implementation scores did not differ between the two groups, and EBP values were not associated with EBP use. The only nurse characteristic demonstrating a statistically significant relationship with the outcomes was highest degree earned. CONCLUSION Further research is needed with more robust study designs to determine how best to facilitate the use of EBP among hospital RNs. Support for RN advanced education and evidence-based continuing education strategies are recommended. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2020;51(5)209-214.].

Basic Life Support-focused Code Blue team-based simulation is needed in continuing education to bridge this gap. This article outlines a teaching plan for hospital orientation and subsequent scenarios to improve the resuscitation response. [J Contin Educ Nurs. Selleck GSK2606414 2020;51(5)205-208.].

Nurses are physically and emotionally exhausted but also may be isolated from the physical and emotional support of families and other loved ones. As leaders concurrently manage the logistical and resource challenges of the COVID-19 epidemic, it is essential for leaders to also lift their gaze to the future. Leaders can be a force multiplier for supporting resilience in their teams. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2020;51(5)203-204].

The nursing professional development practitioner has an opportunity to provide activities and experiences that support socialization while the nurse in transition develops an understanding of the culture of the practice setting.

Mature deep-rooting root traits of twenty wheat genotypes at maturity were established via coring in three field trials across two years. Field traits were correlated to phenotypes expressed by the 20 genotypes after growth in four commonly-used lab screens i. soil tubes for root emergence, elongation, length and branching at four ages to 34 days after sowing (DAS); ii. paper pouches 7 DAS and iii. agar chambers for primary root (PR) number and angles at 8 DAS; and iv. soil baskets for PR and nodal root (NR) number and angle at 42 DAS. Correlations between lab and field root traits (r2 = 0.45 - 0.73) were highly inconsistent, with many traits uncorrelated and no one lab phenotype correlating similarly across three field experiments. Phenotypes most positively associated with deep field roots were longest PR and NR axiles from soil tube screen at 20 DAS; and narrow PR angle and wide NR angle from soil baskets at 42 DAS. Paper and agar PR angles were positively and significantly correlated to each other, but only wide outer PRs in paper screen correlated positively to shallower field root traits. NR phenotypes in soil baskets were not predicted by PR phenotypes in any screen, suggesting independent developmental controls and value in measuring both root types in lab screens.Strong temporal and edaphic effects on mature root traits, and a lack of understanding of root trait changes over plant development, are major challenges in creating controlled environment root screens for mature root traits in the field. © The Author(s) 2020.

Objectives To assess the prevalence and clinical importance of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants associated with each of 3 genomic conditions (familial hypercholesterolemia, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, and Lynch syndrome) within the context of contemporary clinical care. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used gene-sequencing data from 49 738 participants in the UK Biobank who were recruited from 22 sites across the UK between March 21, 2006, and October 1, 2010. Inpatient hospital data date back to 1977; cancer registry data, to 1957; and death registry data, to 2006. Statistical analysis was performed from July 22, 2019, to November 15, 2019. Exposures Pathogenic or likely pathogenic DNA variants classified by a clinical laboratory geneticist.
