Article Abstract
Background: Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a potentially effective method of instruction that has been applied only infrequently in nursing education in Taiwan.
Purpose: This study was developed to examine the effects of incorporating the TBL strategy into the course "Advanced Medical Nursing English".
Methods: A quasi-experimental, single group, and pre-post test design was adopted. Nursing students who took the "Advanced Medical Nursing English" elective course used the TBL strategy for 8-weeks. Students were assigned to heterogenic groups of 12 students each based on their scores on an English pre-test. The collected data included the scores on individual and group readiness tests, a self-directed learning questionnaire, learning satisfaction, and an English posttest. Self-completed reflection papers and focused group interviews were used for qualitative appraisal.
Results: A total of 72 students were enrolled. Nearly all (93.1%) were female and 21-22 years of age. The results of a paired samples t-test applied to examine the effects of the TBL strategy on learning outcomes showed that English posttest and self-directed learning ability scores had both improved significantly (all p < .05). The results of ANOVA tests showed that students with lower pre-test scores improved more than those with higher pre-test scores. The results of a sample t-test with a test value of 4.0 applied to examine learning satisfaction found a non-significant change (p > .05), indicating no change in perceived satisfaction. The qualitative analysis identified four themes regarding perceptions of the TBL strategy, including "friendships in learning", "harmonious atmosphere and participations", "inertial shock and adjustments", and " excessive learning load".
Conclusions: TBL was shown to be an effective learning strategy for RN-BSN students in a Medical Nursing English Course, particularly those with relatively low pre-test scores. Future studies should focus attention on reading assignments to avoid overburdening students. The results of this study may serve as a reference for medical nursing English education.

Minoritized racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender communities and populations face profound health disparities and their engagement in research remains low. In a randomized controlled trial, our community-based participatory research partnership tested the efficacy of ChiCAS, an HIV prevention intervention designed to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis use among Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas. Of 161 eligible Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas screened, we enrolled 144, achieving an 89% participation rate, and retained 94% at 6-month follow-up.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.
Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.
Evolving Cardioprotective Strategies in Cardio-Oncology: A Narrative Review.

Division of Cardiology, Health Sciences Building, University of Washington Medical Center, 1959 NE Pacific StreetSuite #A506D Box 356422, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Patients living with cancer are at risk for significant potential cardiovascular complications as a direct result of cancer treatment or due to underlying comorbid cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the methods of risk stratification as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to cardioprotection in cardio-oncology.
Recent Findings: Several cancer-specific risk stratification tools have incorporated variables such as age, sex, cancer subtype, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatment-related parameters to assess cardiovascular specific risk prior to cancer therapy.
Identifying rehabilitation needs as part of secondary prevention in individuals with Atrial Fibrillation - a Delphi consensus study.

Department of Cardiology, Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospital - University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Esbjerg, Denmark.
Aim: This study aimed to establish general consensus on a systematic needs assessment model to determine eligibility for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) as part of secondary prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). Specific objectives included identifying relevant needs assessment criteria and establishing consensus on referral criteria.
Methods: A Delphi study was conducted following the ACCORD guidelines (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document) with participation of an international, multi-disciplinary expert panel including physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, across primary and secondary care as well as academic research.
Background: The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care raises concern, as nursing students are not adequately educated on its use in practice. This study evaluated the effect of an AI education module on undergraduate nursing students' AI literacy and anxiety.
Method: Students completed surveys measuring AI literacy and anxiety before and after the module, which included videos, articles, a presentation, and an assignment using ChatGPT.
