6. Who Really Controls Nursing and Professional Development?
Patricia S. Yoder-Wise
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023), 54(9), 87–388
https://doi.org/10.3928/00220124-20230816-01
The Chief Nursing Officers definitely have input, but they perceive that the final budget is made by people in the finance department. In a sense, then, the finance department is creating the staffing component of the nursing budget.
7. Navigating Nurses: Supporting Retention Through Mentorship
Julie Lang., Amy Schotte & Hannah Elder
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023), 54(9), 389–391
https://doi.org/10.3928/00220124-20230816-02
Retaining nurses is critical. Doing so effectively requires identifying not only why some nurses are leaving but also why others are staying. Discovering a sense of belonging and opportunities for professional development, especially for early career nurses, are two common themes. A mentorship framework was created within a nurse residency program integrating both motives, with positive results for the mentors and mentees alike.

8. Benefits of good-quality online health information and risks of ‘Dr Google’
Jill McLean
Nursing Times, 2 October 2023, Vol. 119, Issue 10.
Using online health information can contribute to patients’ health outcomes. 63% of people in the UK are searching for health information online, but some is unreliable. Misinformation, vaccine conspiracy theories and content about alternative therapies can lead to poor health outcomes or worrying health behaviours. Credible, high-quality information can be identified by checking for trustworthy sources, quality marks and balanced information.
9. Reducing central venous catheter-associated infections in critical care
Kirsty Day
Nursing Times, 2 October 2023, Vol. 119 Issue 10.
Central venous catheters pose a safety risk when inserted, cared for and removed, and associated bloodstream infections continue to be a considerable concern in critical care globally. To address this, a critical care unit undertook an audit of adherence to its central venous catheter-associated policies. This resulted in new dressings and improved guidance to improve compliance and reduce the rate of infection.
10. Digitising cancer care: using electronic patient-reported outcome measures
Alison Large & Ewan Shawcroft
Nursing Times, 2 October 2023, Vol. 119 Issue 10.
In 2021, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust launched a new clinical nurse specialist role to drive the implementation of their digital clinic pathways in the oncology outpatient service. This pathway provides a new way for patients to interact with their clinicians when receiving their cancer treatments, and the new role helped to support both clinicians and patients to adjust to the change.
11. Pregnancy 2: effects on the respiratory and urinary systems
John Knight
Nursing Times, 2 October 2023, Vol. 119 Issue 10.
Changes to the respiratory and urinary systems during pregnancy are explored in this second article in our series on physiological and anatomical changes in pregnancy. Pregnancy increases nasal epithelium blood flow, contributing to pregnancy-associated rhinitis. As uterine expansion shifts the abdominal organs upwards, displacing the diaphragm and compressing the lungs, breathlessness is common, resolving quickly after delivery of the baby.
12. Realising the benefits of artificial intelligence for nursing practice
Siobhan O’Connor., Declan Devane & Louise Rose
Nursing Times, 2 October 2023, Vol. 119 Issue 10.
Artificial intelligence has limitations and risks, such as biased outputs and a lack of transparency in how some algorithms work, which could impact clinical accountability and patient safety. This article discusses the barriers and facilitators of artificial intelligence, and offers some recommendations for its use in nursing.

13. Measles elimination in Australia: 'Hard won, easily lost'
K E Alexander., M Wickens & S M Fletcher-Lartey
Australian Journal of General Practice, 2020. 49(3), 112-114.
MEASLES CASES are increasing globally, with more than 429,000 confirmed cases and approximately 679,000 additional suspected cases reported to disease surveillance systems worldwide during 2019.1 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more measles cases were reported worldwide during the first half of 2019 than in any year since 2006. With the number of measles cases globally, Australia’s popularity as a tourist destination and a large population of frequent travellers, there is a constant threat of imported cases of measles entering Australia.
14. Measles virus and cytomegalovirus co-infection, in a child with recent SARS-CoV-2 infection, during COVID-19 pandemic: a case report.
Giulia Piccirilli, Monia Gennari, Liliana Gabrielli, Marta Leone, Eva Caterina Borgatti & Alessia Cantiani
Virology Journal. 20(1). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-023-02099-8
Measles virus (MV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) may cause pediatric infection. We report the first described case of MV and CMV co-infection in an unvaccinated 13-mo-old girl, with a recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, occurred during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
15. Clinical characteristics of adult inpatients with Measles in Beijing from 2010 to 2021: a retrospective analysis.
Lixue Zhao., Yu Wang., Xue Chen., Liu Yang., Miaotian Cai & Zhili Zhang
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023, 23(1)
https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-023-08256-2
With the measles vaccine coverage rate gradually increasing, adult patients’ epidemiological and clinical characteristics have changed. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 818 patients diagnosed with measles at Beijing Youan Hospital between June 2010 and October 2021.
16. Gaps in measles immunisation coverage for pre-school children in Aotearoa New Zealand: a cross-sectional study
Nienke N Hagedoorn., Andrew Anglemyer & Tony Walls
New Zealand Medical Journal, 14 April 2023, 136(1573)
Measles is a highly contagious disease resulting from measles virus infection. Since the implementation of measles vaccines in the 1960s, incidence of measles and associated mortality have been largely reduced. Aotearoa New Zealand has notable immunity gaps in the population and the measles immunisation coverage target of ?95% to prevent measles transmission has not yet been reached.
17. New Zealand’s immunisation policy fails again and entrenches ethnic disparities
Owen Sinclair, Cameron Grant
New Zealand Medical Journal, 17 September 2021, 134(1542).
New Zealand has a long history of failing to immunise and protect its children. The last national immunisation survey in 2005 showed overall immunisations rates of 77% at age two years. It also revealed a significant ethnic disparity with overall M?ori rates of 69% compared to European rates of 80%.
18. Measles is coming, ready or not: Worn-out sector faces need to renew MMR vaccination efforts
Alan Perrott
New Zealand Doctor, 1 March 2023
Dr Johnson says a series of viral and weather-related disasters has eroded childhood immunisation rates, especially for M?ori, to historic lows. The rate for tamariki M?ori aged up to 18 months fell to just 36.3 per cent in the last quarter of 2022, compared with 49.3 per cent a year earlier.
