Moral distress is a pervasive phenomenon that can negatively impact healthcare professionals and has been well studied in nursing populations. Much of the evidence suggests that it is associated with intention to leave high acuity areas and the profession. Despite the increasing amounts of research to explore the causes and effects of moral distress, there is limited research on interventions that mitigate the negative effects of moral distress.

The aims of this systematic review were to (a) identify and examine interventions developed to address moral distress experienced by health care professionals (b) examine the quality of the research methods and (c) report on the efficacy of these interventions.

We conducted a systematic review of interventional studies developed to mitigate moral distress.

Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Cochrane were searched for relevant studies (July 2019- September 2019). Additional bioethics databases and reference lists were also hand-searched.

The first author r moral distress continues to be challenging. The primary reason being that moral distress is a subjective ethical phenomenon with a number of different causes and effects. This calls for interventions that are flexible and sensitive to individual's needs. To build an evidence-base, interventions should also be measurable and research methods need to be scientifically rigorous. To achieve rigor and innovation, researchers should clearly justify their methodological choices. Tweetable abstract Interventions to mitigate moral distress a systematic review of the literature. Educational interventions offer a promising direction but more research is needed.In line with World Health Organization policy (WHO, 2016; 2019), primary care services need to be adapted to effectively meet the needs of diverse patient populations. Drawing from a European participatory implementation study, we present an Irish case study. In a hybrid participatory space, migrants, general practice staff and service planners (n = 11) engaged in a project to implement the use of trained interpreters in primary care over 17 months. We used Normalisation Process Theory to analyse data from 15 Participatory Learning and Action research focus groups and related sources. While stakeholders' agency and expertise produced relevant positive results for the introduction of changes in a general practice setting, structural factors limited the range and scope for sustained changes in day-to-day practice.Ozonation is among the currently used technologies to remove chemical and biological contaminants from secondary treated urban wastewater (UWW). Despite its effectiveness on the abatement of organic micropollutants (OMPs) and disinfection, previous studies have shown that regrow of bacteria may occur upon storage of the ozonated UWW. This reactivation has been attributed to the high content of assimilable organic carbon after treatment. In order to investigate if ozonation by-products are the main biological regrowth drivers in stored ozonated UWW, the ozonation surviving cells were resuspended in sterile bottled mineral water (MW), simulating a pristine oligotrophic environment. After 7 days storage, organisms such as Acinetobacter, Methylobacterium, Cupriavidus, Massilia, Acidovorax and Pseudomonas were dominant in both ozonated UWW and pristine MW, demonstrating that bacterial regrowth is not strictly related to the eventual presence of ozonation by-products, but instead with the ability of the surviving c high mineralization rates.Prevention of haze formation in wines is challenging for winemakers. Thermolabile proteins in wines, notably thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) and chitinases (CHIs), undergo structural changes under varying physicochemical conditions, resulting in protein aggregation and visible haze in bottled products. Peptidases are an alternative fining method, although an effective proteolysis under typical winemaking conditions (acidic pH and low temperature) is difficult to achieve. In this study, tryptic peptides from TLPs and CHIs were identified by MS-based peptidomics (top-down proteomics) after exposure of scissile bonds on the protein surface. As proposed by the theory of limited proteolysis, protein conformational changes following temperature and pH variations allowed the detection of enzyme-accessible regions. Protein structure visualization and molecular dynamics simulations were used to highlight cleavage spots and provide the scientific basis for haze formation mechanisms. The described method offers a tool to the search for ideal enzymes to prevent wine haze.The first Total Diet Study (TDS) was carried out in Portugal using harmonised procedures developed under the TDS-Exposure project. check details This publication describes in detail the TDS planning, sample collection and preparation, filling a gap found in literature. TDS food list (1070 items) by food group for 18-74 years olds was derived using 24 h recall food consumption survey data. Of the 164 TDS samples defined based on FoodEx2, the most represented belonged to 'Composite dishes' (21%) and 'Fish and Fish products' (15%). A total of 227 TDS samples (12 subsamples each), were collected (2014-2016) in Greater Lisbon region as 126 'national', 17 'regional non-seasonal' and 21 'regional seasonal'. Seasonal samples were mostly fruits, vegetables and some fish. Subsamples were prepared as consumed, pooled, homogenised and stored at -18 °C. The harmonised procedures used allow comparison of exposure assessment with other countries and evaluation of exposure trends if TDS are used.In Uganda, ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) pose a big challenge to farmers. They reduce cattle productivity and cause severe economic damage. Several studies have documented the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in cattle; however, their genetic characteristics and the role of wildlife-livestock interaction in the epidemiology of the TBDs are not well documented. This study assessed the prevalence and genetic diversity of various tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) as well as the risk factors associated with the occurrence of TBPs in blood samples of 208 randomly selected cattle from 16 farms located around Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) in Kasese District in western Uganda. Farming practices, disease challenges, and the level of wildlife-livestock interactions were assessed by a questionnaire survey amongst farm owners. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays revealed that 62.9% (131/208) cattle samples were positive for one or more pathogens. Using specific PCR assays, we detected Theileria spp., Theilera, Europe, and the USA. The findings of the present study showed that TBDs are still a burden to farmers and that management practices in this area may increase the transmission of pathogens between livestock and wildlife.
To better understand the views and experiences of experienced doctoral supervisors in nursing when providing feedback and critique to nursing doctoral students.

Feedback refers to information from a provider, intended to inform a receiver about the quality of their work in order for them to be able to see where improvements might occur and to signpost issues to be carried into future work. Feedback, particularly on student writing is central to successful doctoral supervision and is time consuming and labour-intensive for supervisors.

Qualitative.

Following ethics approval and informed consent procedures, we gathered 962min of interview data over a six-week period from 21 participants in four countries. During conversational-style interviews, participants shared their experiences of supervisionand elucidated on their experiences of providing feedback to doctoral students. Data were thematically analysed.

Participants had more than 400 combined doctoral completions. As supervisors, participants aimedse the importance of recognising feedback as a crucial educative process and one that is central to the production of a doctoral thesis. We argue that there is a need for nursing to move to developing and articulating meaningful and inclusive pedagogies of writing and doctoral supervision. We recommend universities support the development of such pedagogies and ensure that academic staff engaging in supervision are supported with the appropriate knowledge and skills to be optimally effective.
This study presents a workshop on the Situation Model Nursing Education Action program, examines how to promote gender awareness and decrease barriers related to differences in gender friendliness through the implementation of this program and tracks the trends of the relevant variables.

Pre- and post-observations and a cohort study were conducted.

A total of 58 nursing students (42 females and 16 males) were included. Nursing students were offered a gender-care intervention as two 90-minute workshops and surveys that measure gender awareness and gender friendliness were administered.

The results concerned gender-bias awareness and gender-friendliness barriers scores across the four weeks of the program intervention, with the generalized estimated difference score compared with the Week 1 baseline. Mean student scores showed that gender-bias awareness was significantly decreased at Week 2 (p<.001) and Week 4 (p<.001) and that mean gender-friendliness barrier scores significantly declined at Week 4 (p<.001).

The findings indicate that a faculty professional learning community workshop that facilitates intentional behavioral change can help faculty to become aware of gender bias, which can improve students' gender awareness through clinical case discussion and lead to a decline in barriers to students' gender friendliness.

Parsaclisib (INCB050465) represents a potent and selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, which is being clinically investigated for treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and hematological malignancies. We characterized the potential of parsaclisib to ameliorate autoimmune mechanisms implicated in the pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Spontaneous mouse models of SLE and SS were utilized to elucidate the efficacy of orally administered parsaclisib on autoreactive B-cell-mediated antibody-driven disease. Parsaclisib significantly reduced disease symptoms and pathology in three distinct mouse models of SLE. Parsaclisib effectively preserved renal function as measured by glomerular filtration rate, abrogated histopathological evidence of nephritis, modulated discrete immune cell subsets, and decreased anti-dsDNA antibody level. Furthermore, parsaclisib demonstrated efficacy in two spontaneous mouse models of SS. Oral parsaclisib treatment ameliorated the severity of salivary gland inflammation and reduced circulating levels of autoantibodies. Parsaclisib mediated improvement of salivary gland inflammation coincided with reduced B-cell activating cytokine (BAFF) in saliva. Transcriptomic analysis of kidney and salivary gland tissues revealed a downregulation in inflammatory gene expression consistent with PI3Kδ pathway inhibition. Parsaclisib reduced autoreactive B-cells and autoantibody levels, and significantly improved nephritis and salivary gland inflammation. These data provide the scientific rationale for PI3Kδ inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of B-cell-mediated antibody-driven autoimmune diseases.
