  • Unsupervised Learning Identifies Sleep Disturbance Subtypes Among Dementia Caregivers. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Aug 07. [Online ahead of print]Kim EA, Zhang J, … Lee JANR
  • CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the potential of wearable-derived nocturnal data to characterize distinct sleep disturbance subtypes using clustering analyses. This work underscores the value of building a risk-profiling framework that integrates sleep disturbance subtypes, caregiver characteristics, caregiving demands, and caregiving support availability to inform the development of more precise and effective sleep interventions for dementia caregivers.

  • Associations of Serum Folate and Mental and Physical Health in Informal Caregivers. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Aug 03. [Online ahead of print]González-Mercado VJ, Hu J, … Bernabe-Dones RDNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that low serum folate levels are a risk factor to consider while assessing the physical/mental health of informal caregivers, with future studies aimed at validating the findings in a larger cohort and with future clinical applications such as screening for folate deficiency, dietary counseling, and supplementation programs to address and mitigate these specific health risks.

  • Integrative Review of Needs and Experiences of Lung Transplant Caregivers. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 27. [Online ahead of print]Houlihan MC, Byrd S, Morey CNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers require improved support and education. Future interventions aimed at improving support and educational resources should consider asset-based approaches that focus on caregivers' strengths. Findings suggest that effective clinician engagement during the lung transplant process requires attention to caregivers' comprehensive biopsychosocial needs and experiences.

  • Correlates of Glycemic Status Among American Indian Adults With Type 2 Diabetes in Rural Southeastern Oklahoma. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 May 01. [Online ahead of print]Nelson T, Wilkie DJ, … Scarton LNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study provided insight into factors associated with HbA1c levels that deserve further exploration, but it is important to note that factors included in social determinant of health frameworks specifically developed for Indigenous communities were not available in the EHR data set. Therefore, future studies are needed that examine Indigenous social determinants of health specific to the local community.

  • Predictive Accuracy of the Framingham Risk Score in the Republic of Korea. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 16. [Online ahead of print]Park S, Ratcliffe SJ, … Ulrich CMNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: The observed discrepancy in calibration may be related to differences in risk factor profiles and CVD event rates between the original Framingham cohorts and the Korean validation cohort. In the absence of a Korean-specific model, the FRS remains a practical option for use in primary care. However, to enhance accuracy of risk prediction, the development and validation of a population-specific CVD risk model for Korea are recommended.

  • Health Anxiety and Health Behaviors by eHealth Literacy in Older Adults. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 14. [Online ahead of print]Abd El Fatah NK, El-Ashry AM, … Ibrahim AMANR
  • CONCLUSIONS: eHealth literacy appears to function as a protective factor in later life by reducing the adverse association between health anxiety and engagement in positive health behaviors, while also relating inversely to cyberchondria. Although educational attainment remained a significant predictor, psychological variables accounted for substantial additional amount of variance in health behaviors. Integrating eHealth literacy training with anxiety-informed support in gerontological care may strengthen preventive and self-management behaviors among older adults in community and clinical settings.

  • Photovoice Methods Pilot Study of Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 14. [Online ahead of print]Kelly L, Shin CNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: Visual narratives align with earlier photovoice work on invisible MS symptoms, suggesting that photovoice can document cognitive experiences that traditional methods may overlook. Results support photovoice as a complementary qualitative approach for understanding how adults with MS interpret and manage cognitive changes in daily life.

  • Using National Databases to Analyze Nurse Suicide Mortality. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jun 09. [Online ahead of print]Kreuze E, York J, Merwin EINR
  • CONCLUSIONS: More generally, national databases include variables and coding procedures that may facilitate increasingly systematic examination of nurse suicide. While limitations persist, particularly regarding mortality data, systematic evaluations are vital for clarifying conflicting evidence, addressing research gaps, and building the evidence base.

  • Scoping Review of Barriers and Facilitators of Cervical Cancer Screening in Appalachia. [Journal Article]
    Nurs Res. 2026 Jun 09. [Online ahead of print]Sergison JE, Alspaugh A, … Knisely MRNR
  • CONCLUSIONS: Structural, interpersonal, and psychosocial factors intersect to shape screening behaviors in Appalachia. Findings highlight the importance of trust-building, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive communication, and system-level supports that address cost and access barriers. Expanding Medicaid, strengthening rural provider capacity, and increasing participation in Title X and national cervical cancer programs may reduce disparities and improve screening uptake. Future research should incorporate standardized measures of trust, health literacy, and psychosocial readiness to strengthen intervention design and cross-study comparability.
