Magnet Program Directors: Advancing Quality Through Excellence in Professional Development.

Nursing professional development practitioners functioning as Magnet® Program Directors (MPDs) play crucial roles surrounding nurse-sensitive indicators. Focusing on outperforming nurse-sensitive indicators, the role of the MPD is a vitally important one that requires multiple skill sets, including clinical knowledge, expertise in project management, and skill in collaborating to directly impact patient outcomes. The Nursing Professional Development Practice Model outlines roles that MPDs can use to advance nursing excellence, promote professional practice, and drive quality outcomes.

Let's kick that habit: An experiment of five habit-change strategies on habits and symptoms among adults with sleep problems.

Habits are underexplored in research on evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs). We recruited participants (N = 286) with sleep problems via Mechanical Turk for an experiment to shift wake-up habits, a key target of EBPTs for sleep problems. Participants were randomly assigned to a control (i.

Dissemination and Implementation of a Telehealth-Enabled Program for Providing Infectious Disease Expertise in Rural Settings.

Background: Telehealth can facilitate improving antibiotic use and related antimicrobial stewardship activities in facilities underserved by infectious diseases (IDs) expertise. We describe implementation of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) videoconference antimicrobial stewardship team (VAST) to connect multidisciplinary teams from rural VA medical centers (VAMCs) with geographically distant ID experts.

Methods: We implemented VASTs at 10 rural VAMCs from September 2021 to February 2024.

The Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TSC) in Community Mental Health: Evaluating Self-Reported Psychiatric Disorders as a Predictor of Symptoms and Treatment Outcome.

Objective: This study investigated the extent to which self-reported psychiatric disorders and comorbidities in patients receiving the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TSC) predicted symptom/impairment severity and treatment outcome.

Method: This secondary analysis drew from a subset of 489 patients in California-based Community Mental Health Centers with serious mental illness (SMI) and sleep/circadian problems who had participated in a randomized controlled trial of TSC. Of these patients, 253 received Immediate TSC and 236 received usual care followed by delayed treatment (UC-DT).

A randomized trial of Adapted versus Standard versions the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TSC) implemented via facilitation and delivered by community mental health providers using train-the-trainer.

Background: Grounded in the Integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework, we investigated the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) to expand access to evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs) in community mental health centers (CMHCs), focusing on the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TSC).

Methods: Eight Californian counties were cluster-randomized to Standard TSC or an adapted version designed to improve the "fit" of TSC to CMHCs. University-based trainers trained CMHC providers ("Generation 1 providers") in either Adapted or Standard TSC.
