This is a review and is based on current published literature. There is a relative nursing shortage even though the production of new nurses has been greatly increased since 2010. This is due to the delayed retirement of many baby boomer nurses, and millennials who are more likely to choose nursing as a profession than previous cohorts. However, the numbers and geographic distribution of baby boomer nurses will not be matched by millennials in the pipeline. At the same time, the need for nurses in the healthcare workforce is increasing due to expanded roles and sites for care. Compounding this, only a very small percentage of the whole of nurses choose to be involved in research. In order for nurses to be involved in making contributions to address the vision and goals of NINR, the continued aggressive growth and development of the nursing workforce is needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":45868,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF APPLIED BIOBEHAVIORAL RESEARCH","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jabr.12122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48457746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initiation of this acute defensive pain is driven by activation in the periphery of the terminals of high threshold nociceptor sensory neurons by intense or irritant noxious stimuli and comprises both the distinct unpleasant sensation of pain and protective motor responses. Clinical pain, is though, very different from the immediate detection of and reaction to noxious stimuli, it includes ongoing pain and development of pain hypersensitivity in the presence of tissue damage, after nerve injury and in some cases, in the absence of any peripheral pathology. In all these situations, a prominent feature and sometimes prime driver of the pain, is an altered modulation of pain processing within the central nervous system, an amplification consequent on increased excitability and/or reduced inhibition in specific neural networks, which constitute the phenomenon of central sensitization. Recognition of the importance of central sensitization for the maintenance and manifestation of clinical pain states has led to an appreciation that such pain typically is an expression of an altered/disease state of nociceptive circuits in the central nervous system, one triggered but not necessarily sustained by peripheral injury, rather than only a symptom of some ongoing peripheral pathology, and treatment needs to be targeted accordingly.</p>","PeriodicalId":45868,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF APPLIED BIOBEHAVIORAL RESEARCH","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jabr.12124","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41556173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviews from a small sample of ER nurses (<i>n</i> = 5) are analyzed through a combination of deductive thematic analysis and computerized text analysis. Research from various related fields have been pooled together and briefly described. Experiences, comments, and recommendations concerning burnout collected from interviews seem to align with findings from empirical research, and recommendations given by interview nurses closely resemble the recommendations given by researchers. Sentiment analysis revealed a pattern of positive word use when the nurses discussed resources, and a pattern of negative word use when workload was discussed. A better understanding of burnout, both anecdotal and empirical, is valuable information for any professional who works in the ER.

The physiological stress response was measured by means of salivary free cortisol and heart rate variability (HRV) in response to the Trier Social Stress Test for Groups. Consistent with previous findings, men with high trait EI showed significantly lower perceived chronic and occupational stress levels than men with low trait EI. However, men with high trait EI also showed significantly higher cortisol reactivity than their low trait EI counterparts. Similarly, HRV in men with high trait EI appeared to be lower than in men with low trait EI but HRV differences between groups were not significant.

While the degree of impairments varies with pathology and location of stroke, it is widely understood that executive dysfunction including disturbances of attention, complex information processing, inhibition, reasoning, and flexible thinking underlie a majority of the impairments. Existing rehabilitation approaches predominantly focus on mitigating targeted cognitive deficits (e.g., language disturbance, neglect of one side of the body, memory). Remediation approaches to address executive dysfunction in chronic stages of recovery post-stroke are limited. The Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training (SMART) that teaches strategies to improve higher order reasoning skills has proven to enhance executive functions, strengthen brain networks and improve participation in daily life activities in adults with traumatic brain injury. The current case example, part of an ongoing larger study, discusses post-SMART performance of a 57-year-old female stroke survivor, who sustained a left middle cerebral artery infarct in July 2015.

{"title":"The status of the Beck inventories (BDI, BAI) in psychology training and practice: A major shift in clinical acceptance","authors":"Chris Piotrowski","doi":"10.1111/jabr.12112","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jabr.12112","url":null,"abstract":"<p>While the Beck Depression Inventory I and II (hereon BDI) have been a mainstay in mental health assessment for many decades, a cursory review of survey-based “test use” studies in the 1990s finds that the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was not initially a highly ranked test in the assessment of anxiety or psychopathology. To date, a review of the extant literature on the popularity of the Beck inventories in professional psychology training or practice settings has not been systematically analyzed, although Piotrowski and Gallant (<i>Journal of Instructional Psychology</i>, 36, 2009, 84) found the BAI the most visible anxiety scale in the research literature between 2000 and 2005. Yet, quite evident, the field of clinical assessment remains highly competitive with a proliferation of mental health scales and measures introduced, perennially, in both the professional and research literature. In addition, since the mid-1990s, regulatory restrictions (i.e., managed care directives) on the feasibility of providing multimethod assessment services has also been a potent headwind in professional practice. Thus, historically, the professional acceptance of the BDI and BAI remains somewhat opaque, in terms of degree of usage in both training and practice settings compared to other assessment instruments. Hence, the aim of the current study is to address this gap in the literature. To that end, the author identified, through an extensive literature review, survey-based studies with regard to personality assessment that reported on graduate-level training in psychological testing and test usage patterns from 1989–2017. This systematic search yielded 45 articles (including 1 dissertation study) which served as the data pool for the current review (<i>Training</i> settings, <i>n</i> = 10; <i>Practice</i> settings, <i>n</i> = 35). The analysis found that the BDI has been relied upon to at least a <i>moderate</i> degree in 21 of the 35 (60%) of the surveys of practice settings and in 7 of the 10 (70%) of the studies of academic/internship training. Although the BAI has not been as popular as the BDI historically, this review clearly indicated that since 2010, the BAI has made a pivotal shift toward professional acceptance in practice, generated much enthusiasm in internship training, and been embraced by clinical faculty. Reflecting this emergent popularity of the Beck inventories, the current review indicated that, overall, 10 of the 14 studies (71%) since 2010 reported that both the BDI/BAI have been: (a) recognized and relied upon to a <i>high</i> degree in both assessment training and practice, (b) a valuable clinical tool for mental health clinicians, and (c) considered the instruments of choice amongst the myriad of brief, self-report measures in the assessment of mood disorders.
