Nephrology nurses struggle to support patients on hemodialysis who experience needle fear due to absence of adequate programs or guidelines. Therefore, we have designed an educational intervention for nurses to learn techniques and strategies to support patients with needle fear and review best cannulation practices with minimal trauma to improve patients' experience of dialysis. A prepost design measured self-reported confidence in nurses' ability to support patients on dialysis who have a fear of needles. We found nurses can benefit from targeted educational interventions that provide information and strategies regarding needle fear management. Findings from this study have a potential to be transferred to other chronic disease settings with frequent needle use. Key Words: Hemodialysis, needle fear, nephrology nurses, educational intervention., [NCPD] 1.2 contact hours Fear and distress related to dialysis needles (needle fear) is a common burden for patients receiving hemodialysis for kidney failure, and can influence treatment choice and [...]

Landing a job as a CEO today is no longer all about industry expertise and financial savvy. What companies are really seeking are leaders with strong social skills. That's what the authors discovered after analyzing nearly 7,000 job descriptions for C-suite roles. Their explanation for this trend? Business operations are becoming more complex and tech-centered; workforce diversity is growing; and firms face greater public scrutiny than ever before. Those conditions call for leaders who are adept communicators, relationship builders, and people-oriented problem solvers. To succeed in the future, the authors argue, companies will need to focus on those skills when they evaluate CEO candidates and develop in-house talent [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
