The Role of the Nurse Scientist and Nursing Research Within a National Integrated Health Care System.

Nursing research provides knowledge that advances nursing science, practice, and health care with the vision to optimize the health and well-being of the population. In a medical center setting or health care organization, nurse scientists are needed to demonstrate new knowledge, innovation, and scholarship. Nursing research in health care organizations or medical centers are led mainly by nurse leaders with a Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) or a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). The purpose of this report is to provide examples of the role nurse scientists and nursing research plays nationally in Kaiser Permanente, an integrated health care system. In addition, this report will: (1) define the term "research" in the clinical setting and the role of the nurse research scientist in an integrated health care system and impact on the Magnet® Designation journey, and (2) discuss strategies for a successful role as a nurse research scientist in an integrated healthcare system.

Methodological and theoretical contributions of critical discourse analysis to nursing research / Les apports méthodologiques et théoriques de l'analyse critique du discours pour la recherche en sciences infirmières.

Critical discourse analysis is a methodological approach that allows for the questioning of structures that relegate certain ideas and certain people to the margins. In health sciences, this approach, with its origins in the field of critical linguistics, is useful for highlighting the many societal processes that privilege certain conceptions of health and health care while labelling other perspectives as « alternative" or "fringe". However, critical discourse analysis is still underused in nursing science despite its emancipatory potential. We attribute this reluctance, among other things, to its theoretical anchoring, to its linguistic origin, and to the vagueness and variability of its analysis methods. The objective of this article is therefore to better understand how critical discourse analysis can be used in the discipline of nursing to shed light on the power dynamics and social inequalities that persist. Different examples of studies carried out using critical discourse analysis are also presented to concretely illustrate how this approach can be used in nursing sciences.

L'analyse critique du discours est une approche méthodologique qui permet une remise en question des structures qui relèguent certaines idées et personnes à la marge. Dans le domaine de la santé, cette approche, issue de la linguistique critique, est utile pour mettre en relief les nombreux processus sociétaux qui privilégient une certaine conception de la santé et des soins au profit d'autres perspectives considérées comme « alternatives ¼. Pourtant, en sciences infirmières, l'analyse critique du discours est encore trop peu utilisée malgré son potentiel émancipatoire. Nous attribuons cette réticence entre autres à ses ancrages théoriques, à son origine linguistique, et au flou et à la variabilité dans ses méthodes d'analyse. L'objectif de cet article est donc de mieux comprendre comment l'analyse critique du discours peut être utilisée dans la discipline des sciences infirmières afin de mettre en exergue les inégalités sociales et enjeux de pouvoir. Différents exemples d'études réalisées en utilisant l'analyse critique de discours sont aussi présentés afin d'illustrer concrètement comment cette approche peut être utilisée en sciences infirmières.

Research and Future Challenges for Disseminating Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare in Japan.

Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH) has garnered attention in the field of psychiatric nursing in Japan, yet its adoption in other nursing sectors remains limited. Japan is currently facing the formidable challenge of a rapidly aging population and growing demand for healthcare and welfare services. To address these issues, a shift from hospital-based care to comprehensive community care is underway, underscoring the importance of nurses in community settings, where focusing on client strengths is essential. Therefore, this paper aims to present research and practical examples to advocate for the broader dissemination of SBNH in Japan.

The AANP-RA strategy is guided by the PEARL acronym: examining NP Practice, Education, policy Advocacy, Research, and Leadership. A discussion of each area is presented along with suggested topics.

Analysis of dementia research trends in nursing using text mining approach.

This research aimed to analyze dementia research trends in nursing using a text mining approach. In this study, text mining approach was used to analyze the studies on dementia in the field of nursing around the world. In this study, summaries of all available publications in English between the years 1990-2023 were extracted from the database and transferred to an Excel table by using the 'Nursing' AND 'Dementia' query from the Thomson Reuters-ISI Web of Science database. According to the results of this research, a total of 21 concept groups were identified, four of which were the most important. It was determined that the most frequently used word in all of the studies obtained from the database was 'cost'. In this direction, scientific research on dementia in the field of nursing can be planned by evaluating the most frequently used concepts.

Content analysis of dissertations for examination of priority areas of nursing science.

BACKGROUND: Based on current and future research priorities to inform Ph.D. education, emerging and priority areas were developed through the Idea Festival Advisory Committee of the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the bibliographic, methodologic, study topic characteristics, and emerging and priority areas of two randomly selected samples of nursing doctoral dissertations from the Proquest Digital Dissertations and Theses database between January 2017 and September 2018. METHODS: Using human- (N = 101) and computer-coding (N = 242), we analyzed text data using descriptive statistics and data visualization. FINDINGS: Health behavior (32.7%) and quantitative sciences (17.8%) were the most common emerging and priority areas, and translation science and -omics/microbiome were absent. Health, practice, education, and leadership were four study topic themes. DISCUSSION: This approach may serve as a metric for the state of Ph.D. nursing education. A replication study is recommended in three to five years.

COVID-19 and nursing research across five countries/regions: Commonalities and recommendations.

With the recent impact by the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing research has gone through unexpected changes across the globe. The purpose of this special report is to present the commonalities in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing research across four countries, including the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, and one region, that is, Hong Kong, and to make recommendations for future nursing research during the immediate postpandemic period and future pandemic situations. To identify the commonalities, seven researchers/leaders from the five countries/regions had discussions through 3 days of an international workshop. The content for this discussion paper derived from: (a) the exemplars/cases of the COVID-19 impact on the research process, (b) researchers/leaders' presentations on the COVID-19 impact, and (c) memos from the workshop. The materials were analyzed using a simple content analysis. The commonalities included: (a) "a heavy emphasis on teaching and fluctuating productivity," (b) "increased funding opportunities and governmental support," (c) "gendered experience complicated by professional differences," (d) "delays and changes/modifications in research process," (e) "limited research settings and difficulties in getting access," and (f) "increased online dissemination activities with positive changes in the image of nursing." With all collective wisdom that nurse researchers have obtained during the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing research will evolve again for the successful future of the nursing discipline.

A Review of Recent HIV Prevention Interventions and Future Considerations for Nursing Science.

ABSTRACT: As our knowledge of HIV evolved over the decades, so have the approaches taken to prevent its transmission. Public health scholars and practitioners have engaged in four key strategies for HIV prevention: behavioral-, technological-, biomedical-, and structural/community-level interventions. We reviewed recent literature in these areas to provide an overview of current advances in HIV prevention science in the United States. Building on classical approaches, current HIV prevention models leverage intimate partners, families, social media, emerging technologies, medication therapy, and policy modifications to effect change. Although much progress has been made, additional work is needed to achieve the national goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030. Nurses are in a prime position to advance HIV prevention science in partnership with transdisciplinary experts from other fields (e.g., psychology, informatics, and social work). Future considerations for nursing science include leveraging transdisciplinary collaborations and consider social and structural challenges for individual-level interventions.

What place does nurse-led research have in the COVID-19 pandemic?

AIM: Reflect upon the visibility of nursing-led research during the COVID-19 pandemic. BACKGROUND: The emerging SARS-CoV-2 infection has galvanized collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts in clinical and research practice worldwide. The scarce evidence-base to manage patients with COVID-19 has included limited nurse-led research. INTRODUCTION: Clinical research nurses have greatly contributed to the delivery of COVID-19 research, yet the number of COVID-19 nursing-led research papers appears to be limited, with even fewer nurse-led research projects funded. METHODS: Authors' views and PubMed search on 'COVID-19 and nursing'. FINDINGS: There is a dearth of nursing-led research. Most papers describe the nursing contribution to COVID-19 care, changes in nursing working arrangements and emotional burden. There are opportunities to explore the consequences to vulnerable population groups of public health measures implemented to stop the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic. DISCUSSION: Workforce gaps, limited integration in research structures and clinical redeployment may have hampered nurse-led research. COVID-19 may exacerbate staffing deficits by disrupting the education pipeline, obstructing the transition from clinical to academic practice, particularly in areas where clinical academic roles are yet to emerge. CONCLUSION: The absence of nurse-led research in COVID-19 can be explained by chronic, underlying factors and the features of the pandemic response. Emerging models of care, effective staffing and inequalities related to COVID-19 appear obvious research areas. Nursing leadership needs to strengthen its political voice and lobbying skills to secure nurse-led research funding. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: Embracing international nursing research, strengthening collaborations and lobbying policymakers for investment in nurse-sensitive research would enhance the response to COVID-19.

An eye toward the future: Pressing questions for our discipline in today's academic and research climate.

This paper seeks to open a dialogue concerning the current trend in hiring non-nurse faculty (NNF) to tenure track positions in schools/colleges of nursing. The evolution of non-nurses as faculty, including a review of contemporary papers in affecting this trend, is offered. Three means of involving non-nurses in advancing our discipline are presented. The impact of the growing trend of NNF is discussed relative to the integrity of our discipline and effects on education. We conclude by suggesting a manner of proceeding and raise questions for furthering dialogue.
