Article Abstract
Background: Research and evidence-based practice in nursing have a direct impact on the quality of care to patients. Its enactment in daily practice remains challenging, with nurses' insufficient research capacity and capability being one challenge, and the limited current state of knowledge another.
Aim: To map the knowledge landscape around capacity-building programmes aiming to increase evidence-based nursing practice and research activity in acutecare hospitals.
Design: Scoping review using Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines.
Method: Articles from 2013 to 2023 were searched on PubMed, CINAHL, Medline/OVID, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science. Two researchers screened their eligibility independently. To be eligible, studies needed to focus on nursing/midwifery in acute care settings, address research capacity-building practices and be either an empirical, review or theoretical publication. Data were extracted in a structured format and synthesised narratively.
Results: Twenty-four articles were included, consisting of 12 empirical, 6 reviews and 6 non-data-based articles. Our analysis identified two dimensions of research capacity: (1) individual research capability and (2) organisational research capacity, each influenced by various determinants. Findings suggest that four key elements are required to build a research capacity programme: (1) context assessment, (2) multilevel leadership and management engagement, (3) programme tailored to context and (4) clear outcome indicators. We found nursing research capacity programmes lacked clear definitions and a consensus on a conceptual framework.
Conclusion: This review systematically synthesised the knowledge landscape on nursing research capacity building programmes in acute care hospitals, bringing clarity regarding concepts, dimensions, determinants and structural key elements.
Impact: The conceptual model developed through this review encourages comprehensive and comparable research capacity-building programmes, which can accelerate enhancement of research skills, literacy, activities and evidence-based practice among nurses, thereby improving quality of care and patient outcomes.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

Education of First Nations Australians about cancer-what evidence is there around its effectiveness? A narrative review.
Lancet Reg Health West Pac

Western Australian Centre for Rural Health, University of Western Australia, 167 Fitzgerald Street, Geraldton, Western Australia, 6530, Australia.
Poorer cancer prevention and control outcomes for First Nations Australians have resulted in a need for improved health literacy, that is their capacity as individuals to access, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. This narrative review explores the evidence on how education programs work to improve First Nations Australians' understanding of cancer, and how this leads to more effective use of prevention, screening and treatment services. Limited to the Australian context, a bibliographic search using terms structured around four main concepts: Aboriginal, Cancer, Australia, and Intervention (health literacy, health promotion) was undertaken in May 2024 for publications from January 2000.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) exhibit outstanding structural tunability, clearly defined ion pathways, and remarkable thermal/chemical stabilities, rendering them highly promising candidates for applications in solid-state electrolytes. However, it remains a challenge to develop a versatile method to incorporate both ionic groups and electron-withdrawing units into a single framework for effectively improving the lithium-ion conductivity. Herein, a series of novel [3+3] defective COFs is successfully synthesized featuring active amine/aldehyde anchoring sites for subsequent post-modification, and regulates the ion conductivity through elaborately tuning the anionic/cationic groups and weak/strong electron-withdrawing units.

Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRPs) are multifactorial interventions defined by the World Health Organization as essential strategies to improve patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by enhancing their physical, psychological, social, and occupational well-being. These programs are a cornerstone in the comprehensive treatment of heart disease, facilitating the recovery of functional capacity and reintegration into the workforce through a multidisciplinary approach. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of CRPs in enhancing functional capacity (cardiac and psychological) and HRQoL in workers with ischemic heart disease.

One-year grants of up to $40,000 total were cofunded by this BWH-DOM program and by the applicant's BWH-DOM division to support health equity research or care innovation interventions. Recipients participated in a learning collaborative, which included community-building, health equity research and advocacy-related educational sessions, and midterm and final presentations.

Objective: To describe the adaptation, preparation, and implementation of a multilevel course to strengthen health personnel capacity related to the surveillance cycle for events supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI) in Nicaragua.
Methods: A descriptive study was developed based on the implementation of a multilevel course aimed at national and municipal managers of the Expanded Program on Immunization and Epidemiology. The educational strategy included virtual learning, peer-to-peer learning, and pedagogical mediation with certified tutors.
