How to guide students through a DNP project: A practical guide for faculty.

Background: There has been a rapid increase in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs throughout the country. As such, there are more students conducting DNP projects, necessitating the need for more faculty members to serve as DNP project team leaders (also known as chairs or mentors). However, evidence suggests some faculty may not feel comfortable or confident in guiding students through the DNP project process.

Diagnostic and analytic performance of four point-of-care hemoglobin testing devices used in routine HIV and maternity care in Uganda.

Background: Hemoglobin estimation (Hb) is the most requested hematology test, especially among pregnant/postnatal women and people living with HIV (PLHIV). In Uganda, several point-of-care (POC) Hb testing devices are currently used and performance may be affected by multiple factors. This study evaluated the diagnostic and analytic performance of four Hb POC devices.

Feeding Therapy and its Relationship to Timing of Independent Oral Feeding for Preterm Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Aim: To examine the relationship between feeding therapy and the timing of independent oral feeding (IOF) in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Study Design: A retrospective analysis of 536 preterm infants (<37 wk gestation) admitted to a level IV NICU between January 2017 and December 2019 was conducted. Clinical and therapy data were extracted from the electronic health record to examine associations between feeding therapy utilization and feeding outcomes.

Grandparent-Grandchild Coresidence Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults Around the Globe.

Although the relationship between grandparent and grandchild is often unique due to the supportive and foundational roles grandparents can have in the lives of young or youthful grandchildren, the extent of grandparent-grandchild coresidence globally is under-researched. We harmonized household roster survey data on grandchild coresidence using population-based data on adults 55+ years across 24 countries. Grandchild coresidence rates ranged from 41.

Longitudinal patterns of penile human papillomavirus detection among Ugandan men: A prospective sampling study.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted infection, yet data on HPV dynamics in African male populations remain limited. We conducted a prospective study of 300 human immunodeficiency virus-negative, sexually active Ugandan men enrolled at circumcision and followed every 6 weeks for 6 months. Penile swabs were collected by clinical staff, and HPV DNA was detected using the Roche polymerase chain reaction-based linear array assay at six time points.
