    Abstract Critical care nurses use physiological indicators, such as blood pressure, to guide their decision-making regarding the titration of nitroglycerin infusions. A retrospective study was conducted to determine the accuracy of systolic blood pressure predictions during nitroglycerin infusions. Data were extracted from the publicly accessible eICU program database. The accuracy of a linear model, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, ridge regression, and a stacked ensemble model trained using the AutoGluon-Tabular framework were investigated. A persistence model, where the future value in a time series is predicted as equal to its preceding value, was used as the baseline comparison for model accuracy. Internal-external validation was used to examine if heterogeneity among hospitals could contribute to model performance. The sample consisted of 827 patients and 2541 nitroglycerin dose titrations with corresponding systolic blood pressure measurements. The root-mean-square error on the test set for the stacked ensemble model developed using the AutoGluon-Tabular framework was the lowest of all models at 15.3 mm Hg, equating to a 22% improvement against the baseline. Internal-external validation revealed consistent accuracy across hospitals. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of using systolic blood pressure predictions to inform nurses' clinical decision-making regarding nitroglycerin infusion titration in critical care.

    Abstract Background: Smart home technology (SHT) can be useful for aging in place or health-related purposes. However, surveillance studies have highlighted ethical issues with SHTs, including user privacy, security, and autonomy.
    Objective: As digital technology is most often designed for younger adults, this review summarizes perceptions of SHTs among users aged 50 years and older to explore their understanding of privacy, the purpose of data collection, risks and benefits, and safety.
    Methods: Through an integrative review, we explored community-dwelling adults' (aged 50 years and older) perceptions of SHTs based on research questions under 4 nonmutually exclusive themes: privacy, the purpose of data collection, risk and benefits, and safety. We searched 1860 titles and abstracts from Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and IEEE Xplore or IET Electronic Library, resulting in 15 included studies.
    Results: The 15 studies explored user perception of smart speakers, motion sensors, or home monitoring systems. A total of 13 (87%) studies discussed user privacy concerns regarding data collection and access. A total of 4 (27%) studies explored user knowledge of data collection purposes, 7 (47%) studies featured risk-related concerns such as data breaches and third-party misuse alongside benefits such as convenience, and 9 (60%) studies reported user enthusiasm about the potential for home safety.
    Conclusions: Due to the growing size of aging populations and advances in technological capabilities, regulators and designers should focus on user concerns by supporting higher levels of agency regarding data collection, use, and disclosure and by bolstering organizational accountability. This way, relevant privacy regulation and SHT design can better support user safety while diminishing potential risks to privacy, security, autonomy, or discriminatory outcomes.

    Abstract Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted how nursing education and information are delivered, with many classes being moved to an online platform. This opened opportunities to find creative ways to engage students. As a result, an entirely online infographic assignment for final-year baccalaureate nursing students was created. The focus of this assignment was to engage students to identify important health issues, consider multilevel solutions, and communicate information to relevant stakeholders using visual storytelling for maximum impact.

    Abstract Background Essential family caregivers (EFCs) of relatives living in long-term care homes (LTCHs) experienced restricted access to their relatives due to COVID-19 visitation policies. Residents’ experiences of separation have been widely documented; yet, few have focused on EFCs’ traumatic experiences during the pandemic. Objective: This study aims to explore the EFCs’ trauma of being locked out of LTCHs and unable to visit their loved ones in-person during COVID-19. Methods Seven online focus groups with a total of 30 EFCs from Ontario and British Columbia, Canada were conducted as part of a larger mixed-method study. We used an inductive approach to thematic analysis to understand the lived experiences of trauma. Results Four trauma-related themes emerged: 1) trauma from prolonged separation from loved ones; 2) trauma from uncompassionate interactions with the LTCH’s staff and administrators; 3) trauma from the inability to provide care to loved ones, and 4) trauma from experiencing prolonged powerlessness and helplessness. Discussion The EFCs experienced a collective trauma that deeply impacted their relationships with their relatives as well as their perception of the LTC system. Experiences endured by EFCs highlighted policy and practice changes, including the need for trauma-centred approaches to repair relational damage and post-pandemic decision-making that collaborates with EFCs.

    Abstract Aims: To describe machine learning applications in an operating room setting, raise awareness of the lack of nursing inclusion on machine learning algorithm development, and show how operating room nurses can co-create this new technology.
    Background: Operating room nurses and managers perform anticipatory work on a daily basis to manage intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can cause surgical delays.
    Evaluation: Recent literature on machine learning and its potential use in operating room settings was reviewed along with literature on the role of the nurse in co-creating novel technology.
    Key issue: Machine learning technology is rapidly evolving and being created for the operating room environment to improve patient safety and flow. Operating room nurses and managers are not being included in the development of machine learning algorithms, meaning products may be created that are not usable for all members of the surgical team.
    Conclusion: This commentary highlights the ways machine learning effectively assists nurses and nursing managers, suggesting a pathway forward for surgical nursing as co-creators and implementers.
    Implication for nursing management: Nursing managers will be exposed to machine learning programmes in the near future and need to understand the benefits they have for patient safety and patient flow.
