Appreciative advising: an innovative approach to advising doctor of nursing practice students.
In this article the authors discuss the need for appreciative advising (AA) in doctor of nursing practice educational programs. Appreciative advising includes both individual and group sessions to provide individual mentoring and a supportive community of peers. It has emerged as an alternative to prescriptive advising and allows faculty and students to develop shared goals.

Effects of workload, work complexity, and repeated alerts on alert fatigue in a clinical decision support system.
In this study, the investigators tested hypotheses arising from two possible alert fatigue mechanisms: (A) cognitive overload associated with amount of work, complexity of work, and effort distinguishing informative from uninformative alerts, and (B) desensitization from repeated exposure to the same alert over time. The investigators found that clinicians became less likely to accept alerts as they received more of them, particularly more repeated alerts. There was no evidence of an effect of workload per se, or of desensitization over time for a newly deployed alert.

How nurse-led practices perceive implementation of the patient-centered medical home.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model in nurse-led primary care practices and to identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of this model. The investigators indicate that their data suggest two categories of processes that facilitate the integration of PCMH in the nurse-led practice setting: patient-oriented facilitators and organizational facilitators.

Practice environments and job satisfaction and turnover intentions of nurse practitioners: implications for primary care workforce capacity.
Researchers examined nurse practitioner (NP) practice environments in primary care organizations and the extent to which they were associated with NP retention measures. NPs rated the relationship between NPs and physicians favorably, contrary to the relationship between NPs and administrators. With every unit increase in each standardized subscale score, the odds of job satisfaction increased about 20 percent whereas the odds of intention of turnover decreased about 20 percent.

Oncology nursing perceptions of patient electronic portal use: a qualitative analysis.
The purpose of this study was to identify nursing staff reactions to and perceptions of electronic portal use in a cancer setting. Two focus groups were conducted and theoretical thematic content analysis of data was performed. The investigators concluded that nursing staff reactions to electronic portals were predominantly related to the impact on clinical workload and patient safety and expectations.

Nurse and medical provider perspectives on antibiotic stewardship in nursing homes.
The objective of this cross sectional survey was to examine perspectives on antibiotic use and antibiotic stewardship of nurses and medical providers in nursing homes ( NHs). The investigators concluded that nursing staff and medical providers share a commitment to reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. Antibiotic stewardship interventions should foster cooperation and build competency to implement alternative management approaches and to educate residents and families. Nurse leaders and medical providers with long-term care training may be especially effective champions for antibiotic stewardship.
