Nursing care is the most critical element in nursing services, which aims to improve the patient’s health status. Ineffective and inefficient care documentation can impact the quality of nursing services. However, the increasingly advanced development of technology provides freedom for the health world to improve the quality of patient-centered services. Educational institutions have also used information technology in learning process activities. As prospective health professionals, students must be equipped with competencies to support their performance. In this study, a web-based nursing care information system was developed to assist students in documenting care activities. The website application was designed to increase student competency in nursing documentation activities to provide high-quality nursing services even though learning is online. The waterfall model approach was used in application design. The design stage started with analyzing application requirements, followed by system design and coding. Next, using a Likert-scale questionnaire, a usability test was performed on 15 beta users to assess the functionality of the application. The results showed that the nursing care website application was easy to use and that students felt satisfied. It is hoped that the website application can be made more attractive by including a decisional support system to make it easier for students to enforce nursing diagnoses on patients.

Introduction: The omission of nursing care, characterized by the failure to perform necessary tasks due to various constraints (Kalisch et al., 2009), is a critical issue affecting healthcare globally (Aiken et al., 2018). This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in emergency departments (EDs), where high patient acuity and workload challenges often lead to lapses in care delivery.Objective: This scoping review aims to map the literature on nursing care omitted in EDs and the instruments used to measure the omission of nursing care in this setting.Method: We will follow Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for scoping reviews and report according to PRISMA-ScR recommendations (Peters et al., 2020). Eligibility criteria include studies with nurses working in EDs, focusing on omitted nursing care, using a measurement instrument and adopting quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs.Discussion and Research Spin-offs: This review will provide an overview of nursing care omissions in EDs and the instruments used to measure them, thus shedding light on research needs and practical implications for improving care quality and patient safety.

Introduction: COVID-19 led to rapid innovations in continuing professional development (CPD). We surveyed Canadian Psychiatry CPD directors to understand the pandemic’s impact and to identify effective practices.Methods: In fall 2021, an online 31-item survey was created iteratively based on discussions among CPD educators and disseminated to CPD program leaders at 17 Canadian medical schools through the Council of Psychiatry Continuing Education (COPCE). We collected information on each CPD program, adaptations associated with pandemic restrictions, and intentions regarding future delivery of CPD.Results: Nine responses were received. COVID-19 led to a shift to virtual CPD delivery, with creative and transformative strategies to maintain engagement and online security. Virtual CPD was associated with an increase in attendance and decrease in costs. Many respondents anticipated that virtual or hybrid modalities would continue post-COVID-19.Conclusion: The pandemic led to a pivot to virtual delivery of Psychiatry CPD programming. Hybrid delivery will likely be the prevalent mode of future CPD programming, requiring more technological, financial, and human resources to tackle potential challenges. In times of rapid adaptation, a national network of CPD directors can provide an important venue for knowledge exchange about innovations and effective practices and build capacity of expertise.

This article examines the Holy Rosary procession of 1716 held by the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary at the Church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome. Pope Clement XI and several cardinals attended this special procession to celebrate the Holy Roman Empire’s victory over the Ottomans. Careful examination of the available documents opens a window into understanding this procession’s material and liturgical components and the spiritual and social meaning embedded in the complex elements of celebrating the rites. Through processions such as these, the Rosario created a distinctive expression of Roman devotion and became a well-known contributor to the religious and festive life of Rome. This article thus argues that the Rosario processions served as spectacular political, social, and cultural pageants, as well as a hallowed ritual in which the confraternity showcased its devotions and its political and social affiliations, all the while functioning as a means for maintaining and reinforcing social status and civic identities.

Decades of neoliberal capitalism have had a corrosive effect on public education, with implications for both the fiscal realities of education systems and the ideological values guiding curriculum and pedagogy. While the culture of neoliberalism has often been studied, it is equally important to expand analyses of the shifting material conditions of how capital moves through education systems, reshapes power, and exacerbates inequality. It is also, I argue, vitally important to document—to be mindful—of how the affordances of the present, once eroded, diminish the imaginings of what is possible in the future. To that end, in this special issue, we highlight the twin realities of neoliberalism. We also make the argument for public education, imperfect though its current iterations may be, as a valuable inheritance of public good.

Citizen Science (CS) is an approach to scientific work and part of the Open Science movement. This study aims to analyse the perception of the librarians about their participation in the aBEIRAr project, which is a CS partnership for the valorisation of the territory developed in the Intermunicipal Network of Libraries of Beiras and Serra da Estrela (RIBBSE) in Portugal. The methodology comprised a literature review, and the case study includes an interview and a survey. Of the results obtained, the following stand out: the libraries are the driving forces behind the aBEIRAr project; they choose the themes, organise and dynamize the activities in their local communities, and establish various partnerships with the mediation of the project's scientific coordination; the level of satisfaction of the librarians in this project is very satisfactory; in the libraries, after carrying out the aBEIRAr project, the number of participants in other face-to-face activities and the interaction on their social network profiles increased; librarians consider that CS can bring to public libraries and their users participative scientific knowledge. The data provides valuable insights into the possibilities and challenges associated with executing CS projects in collaboration with public libraries. These findings contribute to the ongoing discussion about the role of libraries as essential community centers.
