A scoping review of trials of interventions led or delivered by cancer nurses
Advances in research and technology coupled with an increased cancer incidence and prevalence has resulted in significant expansion of cancer nurse role, in order to meet the growing demands and expectations of people affected by cancer (PABC). Cancer nurses are also tasked with delivering an increasing number of complex interventions as a result of on-going clinical trials in cancer research. However much of this innovation is undocumented, and we have little insight about the nature of novel interventions currently being designed or delivered by cancer nurses.

Patient reminder and recall interventions to improve immunization rates: A Cochrane review summary
Global vaccination rates for children and adults vary widely; and while they have been increasing in recent years, coverage levels have not reached optimal goals in many areas. During 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 86% of infants worldwide had received the three doses of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine and 130 countries had reached 90% coverage. However an estimated 19.5 million infants were not vaccinated with routine immunizations such as DTP, and one in 10 did not receive any vaccinations (WHO, 2018a).

Surgical ward nurses ’ responses to worry: an observational descriptive study
Rapid response systems aim to improve early recognition and treatment of deteriorating general ward patients. Sole reliance on deviating vital signs to escalate care in rapid response systems disregards nurses ’ judgments about a patient’s condition based on worry and other indicators of deterioration. To make worry explicit, the Dutch-Early-Nurse-Worry-Indicator-Score was developed, summarising non-quantifiable signs of deterioration in the nine indicators: breathing, circulation, temperature, mentat ion, agitation, pain, unexpected trajectory, patient indicates not feeling well and nurses’ subjective observations. ...

Quality of acute care for persons with cognitive impairment and their families: A scoping review
An increasing number of older persons with cognitive impairment use inpatient services for co-occurring acute illness. Research has demonstrated that persons with cognitive impairment face more adverse health outcomes during hospitalization than their age counterparts without cognitive impairment. As hospitals tend to be ill equipped to meet the complex care needs of this population, various initiatives underscore the need to better utilize existing evidence to improve quality of care.

The future of nutrition care in hospitals
Malnutrition affects up to 50% of hospitalised patients (Ray et al., 2014; Barker et al., 2011) and has severe consequences for patients and the health care system. Malnutrition increases the risks of mortality (Lim et al., 2012) and complications like pressure injuries (Banks et al., 2010), infections (Schaible and Stefan, 2007) and falls (Vivanti et al., 2011) and is associated with increased length of stay, readmissions and higher hospital costs (Lim et al., 2012). Inadequate dietary intake is the major modifiable risk factor for malnutrition and the majority of patients fail to meet their nutritional needs in hospital ...
