Implementation of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale as a universal screening instrument in primary care: Feasibility, acceptability, and predictors of professionals ’ adherence to guidelines
Infant socioemotional development is often held under informal surveillance, but a formal screening program is needed to ensure systematic identification of developmental risk. Even when screening programs exist, they are often ineffective because health care professionals do not adhere to screening guidelines, resulting in low screening prevalence rates.

Comparing interprofessional and interorganizational collaboration in healthcare: a systematic review of the qualitative research
Interprofessional and interorganizational collaboration have become important components of a well-functioning healthcare system, all the more so given limited financial resources, aging populations, and comorbid chronic diseases. The nursing role in working alongside other healthcare professionals is critical. By their leadership, nurses can create a culture that encourages values and role models that favour collaborative work within a team context. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

Simulated presence therapy for dementia
Dementia, characterised by a progressive decline in cognition and function, is a common and serious condition that causes considerable burden on families and the healthcare system (Abraha et al., 2017). The prevalence of dementia is estimated to be 6% in those aged 60 years or older, but increases dramatically with age, with an estimated 43% of adults aged 85 years or older being diagnosed with dementia (Abraha et al., 2017).Dementia is one of the strongest predictors of nursing home admissions (Abraha et al., 2017).

Effectiveness of a Patient-centred, Empowerment-based Intervention programme among patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial
Despite extensive efforts and advances in evidence-based diabetes management, poor glycaemic control still remains a challenge in many countries. There is a paucity of research addressing the needs of patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, or exploring the efficacy of empowerment-based interventions in this vulnerable population.

Catheter washout solutions for long-term urinary catheterisation in adults: A Cochrane Review Summary
People may require long-term urinary catheterisation for a number of reasons, such as: urinary retention (incomplete emptying of the bladder) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) or prostate tumour; reduced bladder contractility; or urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) not amenable to toileting or other method of management. People with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, stroke, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury may be susceptible to these problems. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

Translational Mobilisation Theory: A New Paradigm for Understanding the Organisational Elements of Nursing Work
Translational Mobilisation Theory (TMT) is a generic sociological theory that explains how emergent projects of collective action are progressed in complex organisational contexts. Grounded in a substantial programme of research on healthcare work, it has value for understanding the organisational component of the nursing role for educational, practice and research purposes. This paper introduces Translational Mobilisation Theory, outlines its core components, and considers its application to nursing using ethnographic research on the organising work of nurses as an empirical reference.
