Knowledge, attitude and practice of intensive care unit nurses about physical restraint
ConclusionsThe study demonstrated some lack of knowledge and unsafe practices regarding physical restraint in ICUs in Jordan. It suggests improving nurses' knowledge, attitude and practices through in‐service education on best practice for physical restraint, developing policies/guidelines and providing adequate staff and equipment to maintain patient safety and prevent complications.
Relevance to clinical practiceConducting education programmes on physical restraint for ICU nurses and providing other preventive strategies are important in improving nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice. (Source: Nursing in Critical Care)

Nurse ‐patient communication within the context of non‐sedated mechanical ventilation: A hermeneutic‐phenomenological study
ConclusionThese findings are important in nursing care and provide perspectives on the shift from communication towards comprehension and, thus, away from frustration. A non‐sedation protocol is a major change in clinical practice in relation to communication. It requires a new way of thinking where communication becomes an integrated part of care, and the nurse has to be constantly alert and adjust his or her communication strategies to the patient's changing needs and communication ability.
Relevance to clinical practiceSome nursing interventions may optimize communication: (1) systematic assessment of patients' commun...

Aromatherapy massage versus reflexology on female elderly with acute coronary syndrome
ConclusionsImplementation of both aromatherapy massage and reflexology has positive effects on the fatigue and cardiovascular parameters of patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, aromatherapy massage can be more beneficial to use as a supportive approach in coronary diseases.
Relevance to clinical practiceThe need for reducing fatigue in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients in a cardiac care unit is evident. The implementation of aromatherapy massage and reflexology had positive effects on patients' fatigue as related to both physical and mental health. (Source: Nursing in Critical Care)

Survey among critical care nurses and physicians about delirium management
ConclusionIn German‐speaking countries, assessment of delirium needs further improvement, leading to accurate assessment. Delirium‐related structures and processes appear to be implemented widely, with only a few differences between nurses and physicians.
Relevance to clinical practiceNurses and physicians in this survey reported similar perceptions and attitudes towards management of delirium. Both professions need more knowledge and inter‐professional training on when and how to use validated assessment instruments. (Source: Nursing in Critical Care)

Survived so what? Identifying priorities for research with children and families post ‐paediatric intensive care unit
ABSTRACT
The involvement of patients and the public in the development, implementation and evaluation of health care services and research is recognized to have tangible benefits in relation to effectiveness and credibility. However, despite >96% of children and young people surviving critical illness or injury, there is a paucity of published reports demonstrating their contribution to informing the priorities for aftercare services and outcomes research. We aimed to identify the service and research priorities for Paediatric Intensive Care Unit survivors with children and young people, their families and other stakeho...

The effect of chronotherapy on delirium in critical care – a systematic review
ConclusionMulti‐component non‐pharmacological interventions, such as noise and light control, can reduce delirium in critical care, whereas other interventions, such as BLT, have mixed outcomes. Melatonin, as a drug, may be a useful alternative to sedative‐hypnotics.
Relevance to Clinical PracticeChronotherapy can reduce the incidence of delirium within critical care, although further research is warranted. Staff education is essential in the implementation of chronotherapy. (Source: Nursing in Critical Care)
