Our Voices, Our Stories-A Multi-Method Knowledge Translation Strategy for Advancing Inclusivity and Creating Trauma-Informed Wound Care.

This initiative utilised knowledge translation (KT) strategies, including digital storytelling (DST) as both a narrative and educational tool, to amplify voices and support trauma-informed healing for individuals living with chronic wounds. A multi-method KT approach was employed, involving: (1) patient DST; (2) a national Patient Journey conference; (3) webinars and conference sessions; (4) a social media campaign; (5) infographics and supplements and (6) an open-access digital library. Since its launch in November 2021, the initiative has garnered significant engagement.

Healthcare Students' Experiences of Learner-Educator Cocreation of Virtual Simulations: A Phenomenographic Study.

Introduction: Cocreating virtual simulations with learners during a course is an innovative approach to improving student preparation for real-world practice while helping simulationists meet learner needs, support authentic assessment, and maximize the impact of simulation-based learning. This study explores differences in healthcare students' experiences of learner-educator cocreation of virtual simulations (LECoVSs) using phenomenographic methods. Identifying differences in perceptions of LECoVSs enables educators to make evidence-informed decisions about engaging in simulation cocreation as a tool to maximize learning.

The Current State of Kidney Supportive Care in Nephrology Nursing Practice: A Literature Review.

Kidney disease is associated with a high physical and psychological symptom burden.

Barriers and facilitators to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake among transgender women in Colombia: A qualitative analysis using the COM-B model.

Transgender women [TGW] in Colombia are disproportionately affected by HIV due to their low sociodemographic conditions, varied risk behaviours, difficulty accessing health services, and discrimination. Offering pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP] as part of a combination of prevention strategies is an appropriate option for this population to reduce their risk of HIV infection. However, little is known about how to implement a PrEP program for TGW in Colombia.
