- Health Anxiety and Health Behaviors by eHealth Literacy in Older Adults. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 Jul 14. [Online ahead of print]NR
- 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]NR
- 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]NR
- 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]NR
- 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.

- Study Protocol to Characterize Symptom Experience During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy for Cutaneous Melanoma. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 Jun 02. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: This study will fill important knowledge gaps about inter-individual differences in risk factors for a worse symptom experience in adults with cutaneous melanoma receiving ICIs. This knowledge is critical to inform clinical assessment and monitoring of high-risk patients and to inform future biomarker research and intervention development.

- Moderating Effects of Dementia on Health Outcomes in Dyads of Older Adults and Family Caregivers. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 May 28. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: Considering caregiving dyads together provides a more holistic perspective. Intrapersonal factors are potentially modifiable aspects of caregiving contexts, and addressing older adults and their family caregivers simultaneously could be synergistically beneficial.

- Scoping Review of Adolescent Autonomy and Responsibility for Managing Chronic Physical Conditions. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 May 28. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: Acquiring self-management skills introduces a growing complexity of effectively monitoring symptoms, adhering to treatments and medication regimens, acquiring dexterity for interventions, and action planning. Nurses play a vital role in assessing adolescents' readiness for autonomy based on developmental maturity and health literacy rather than age alone, while actively involving them in care decisions to foster confidence and a gradual assumption of self-management responsibilities.

- Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of Perioperative Thirst Management Interventions. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 May 13. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that, in the management of perioperative thirst, the implementation of evidence-based, non-pharmacological nursing interventions is more critical than the specific type of intervention. The study supports integrating timely thirst management strategies into routine perioperative nursing care to improve patient comfort and care quality.

- Genome-Wide Association of Cardiovascular Disease and Lifestyle in Korean Adults With Metabolic Syndrome. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 May 01. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the identification of suggestive SNPs associated with CVD among individuals with MetS in a non-European population, addressing gaps in genomic research. Associations with alcohol consumption, smoking, and diet may reflect reverse causation or confounding rather than protective effects, and further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal relationships.

- Perceived Family Support and Treatment Adherence in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes. [Journal Article]Nurs Res. 2026 Apr 29. [Online ahead of print]NR
- CONCLUSIONS: The results highlighted that facilitative support was associated with better treatment adherence among older adults, suggesting the importance of considering patient- and family-centered approaches in diabetes care. Encouraging initiatives, when carried out entirely under family control, appeared to be linked to lower self-management skills among older adults.

- Sleep and Cognitive Health Interventions to Prevent Cognitive Decline in Older Adult Survivors of Critical Illness: Randomized Clinical Trial Protocol. [Randomized Controlled Trial]Nurs Res. 2026 Jul-Aug 01; 75(4):322-330.NR
- CONCLUSIONS: We aim to target sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances, mitigate ICU delirium, and reduce cognitive decline associated with ADRD. If hypotheses are supported, this combination of low-cost, nonpharmacological interventions could be integrated into standard care to accelerate cognitive recovery during hospitalization.
