Article Abstract
Aims: To explore how primary care registered nurses (PCRNs) describe their professional identity, their perception of their practice, and the support they need to effectively perform the responsibilities of their role.
Design: A qualitative descriptive design using inductive content analysis.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with registered nurses (n = 14) working in primary care settings in the United States between June 2018 and December 2020. Inductive content analysis was used and comprised three phases: preparation, organizing, and reporting. COREQ reporting guidelines were used.
Results: Three categories were discovered related to PCRN identity and practice: Wearing Multiple Hats, Practicing Within Bounds and Change is a Part of Practice. There were also three categories for support needed: Entering In, Ongoing Support and Making it a Better Place. Within each category, subcategories were identified.
Conclusion: Primary care registered nurses have a unique professional identity and practice. When entering the setting, nurses must acquire the skills and knowledge to ask the right questions and navigate the system to meet the diverse and complex needs of their patients. PCRNs recognize change is a part of practice and have ideas and visions for what the role of PCRNs could be.
Implications For Profession: Recognizing the unique identity and practice of PCRNs is necessary to create an environment that leverages their skills and knowledge.
Impact: We identified key elements of PCRN identity and practice and the support necessary to meet their needs. Healthcare organizations must ensure nurses new to the practice setting receive training and support for their unique and essential role. Additionally, leaders must partner with nurses to enhance nursing practice and achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Reporting Method: Adherence to COREQ guidelines were maintained.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

This study investigates how transgender older adults manage and protect their mental health amid anti-trans stigma, discrimination, and legislation in the United States. Using semi-structured, individual interviews with 47 transgender older adults, two key strategies emerged: (1) defining transgender identities, bodies, and experiences as life-affirming; and (2) cultivating transgender-inclusive social support networks. Results from the study expand public health research by pinpointing the mental health management strategies that transgender older adults use to mitigate the negative impacts of anti-trans sociopolitical climates.

This study examines how choral singing functions as a mechanism for sustaining ritual practice and reinforcing cultural identity. By integrating perspectives from musicology, social psychology, and cognitive science, it explores how collective vocal performance supports emotional attunement, group cohesion, and symbolic memory in culturally diverse contexts. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining ethnographic observation, survey-based data, and cognitive measures with AI-informed frameworks such as voice emotion recognition and neural synchrony modeling.

Introduction: There remains limited research exploring the experiences of informal carers from ethnically minoritised groups, particularly to illustrate perceptions of caring roles and challenges they may face to address unmet needs. While barriers such as language, cultural expectations and discrimination are acknowledged in wider literature, little is known about how these influence caregiving experiences or access to services in practice. This work seeks to better describe the barriers and facilitators impacting carers from ethnically minoritised groups, as well as illustrate possible influences of culture and carer identity affecting this under-researched population.

School interethnic climate has interpersonal and intrapersonal implications for adolescent development, but little is known of how it influences their psychological adjustment over time, let alone what drives this influence. This study examined whether two components of identity-school belonging perceptions and ethnic-racial identity beliefs-mediate the association between 10th grade perceptions of school interethnic climate and 12th grade psychological adjustment. The analytic sample includes 849 students (50% girls; 30% Latinx, 27% White, 16% Asian/Pacific Islander, 18% Multiethnic, 6% African American/Black, 3% Other).

This narrative review examines gender-affirming healthcare in the Nordic countries, highlighting historical developments, legal frameworks, epidemiological trends, and current clinical practices. Transgender healthcare dates back to the early 20th century and gained international attention in the early 1950s following one of the first widely publicized gender-affirming surgeries performed in Denmark. Since then, care models have evolved, supported by policy, research, and clinical practice across Europe and North America.
