Barriers and facilitators to preventing pressure ulcers in nursing home residents: A qualitative analysis informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework
Pressure ulcers are areas of localised damage to the skin and underlying tissue; and can cause pain, immobility, infections and delay recovery, impacting on health-related quality of life. The individuals who are most at risk of developing a pressure ulcer are those who are seriously ill, elderly, have impaired mobility and/or poor nutrition; thus, many nursing home residents are at risk.

Relationship between nurse staffing level and adult nursing-sensitive outcomes in tertiary hospitals of Korea: Retrospective observational study
Nurse staffing level is an important factor on nursing sensitive outcome. The relationships of nurse staffing level with nursing sensitive outcomes such as mortality, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and pressure ulcer have been explored in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Lower level of hospital nurse staffing seems associated with more adverse outcomes, especially mortality. However, there is insufficient evidence of the nurse staffing level-outcome relationship in other indicators. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

The inclusion of retracted studies in systematic reviews: A response to Gray et al. (2018)
I read with interest a recent letter in your journal by Gray et al. (2018) regarding the inclusion of retracted studies in systematic reviews (SR), focusing on nursing literature. They found that 37 nursing SR contained a citation to a retracted publication, of which only 23 were studies included in the SR as opposed to references in the background or discussion. Of interest, they found that five SR that included a retracted study were published in a year subsequent to the year of retraction. However, the numbers are very small, and any claims at generalizability would appear far-fetched. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)
