    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to provide an innovative, participatory approach to the education of staff nurses and nursing support personnel to improve skills and competencies in wound and ostomy care while enhancing staff engagement and empowerment.
    Participants and setting: Project planning occurred between January and October 2020 and implementation began in November 2020. The project was implemented in 1 intensive care unit and 6 adult medical-surgical units of a 288-bed community hospital in the northeastern United States (Bronxville, New York). Participants included RNs and nursing support staff working in intensive care and medical-surgical units. A postimplementation survey was conducted in May 2021.
    Approach: The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model was used as a framework for this QI intervention. A peer-to-peer approach to staff education addressing different learning styles was used to improve knowledge and competencies of staff nurses pertaining to wound and ostomy care.
    Outcomes: There were 72 participants; 68% (n = 49) exhibited knowledge retention 5 months after initial participation; 85% (n = 61) reported a high level of engagement; and 97.5% (n = 70) reported a high level of satisfaction 5 months after project implementation.
    Implications for practice: An emerging need exists for educational innovation regarding wound and ostomy care to improve quality of care, nursing care outcomes, and staff engagement. Through a peer-to-peer approach to wound and ostomy care education, enhanced clinical knowledge and competencies can result in improved patient safety and increase care outcomes.

    Abstract Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has played an increasing role in the detection and local staging of prostate cancer over the last 15 years. Prostate mpMRI, due to various factors, is prone to high inter-reader variability necessitating standardized reporting guidelines that provide accurate and actionable information to the ordering clinician. The Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADSv2.1) was released in March 2019 as an update to PI-RADSv2.0 with the hope of further standardizing the reporting process of prostate mpMRI, improving the detection of clinically significant cancer, reducing the biopsy rate of indolent tumors, and decreasing inter-reader variability. Early data show an improved performance of PI-RADSv2.1 over PI-RADSv2.0. Updates included in PI-RADSv2.1 and its current experience in clinic will be reviewed in this review.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To summarize the role of prostate MRI in the assessment and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
    Recent findings: BPH/LUTS is a very common source of morbidity in aging men. mpMRI has become an increasingly popular modality for prostate imaging due to its ability to provide exceptional anatomic detail. This has allowed for MRI classification of BPH and detailed assessment of response to various BPH treatment modalities, including simple prostatectomy and transurethral resection of the prostate as well as newer methods like UroLift and prostatic artery embolization. MRI will continue to be a useful tool in the diagnosis and management of BPH/LUTS and provides useful information about the efficacy of a variety of available treatment options. Further studies are needed to fully characterize the effects of newer BPH interventions on mpMRI.

    Abstract Background: Cancer survivors experience complex medical and psychosocial challenges after a cancer diagnosis, leading to unmet informational and emotional needs. There is a paucity of cancer survivorship educational resources co-created by survivors and medical professionals.
    Objective: Our aim was to create an educational resource for cancer survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals that would leverage digital storytelling to address survivorship topics.
    Patient involvement: Our content and production team included cancer survivors, clinicians, educators, and design experts. All content was co-created by cancer survivors and medical experts.
    Methods: We conducted an environmental scan of existing cancer survivorship educational resources in academic and public domains. Applying human-centered design principles, we incorporated patient perspectives through advisory board meetings and focus groups and identified a podcast as the preferred medium. We selected content and speakers, produced the podcast, and developed a corresponding website.
    Results: Based on patient recommendations, podcast episodes address mental health, fear of cancer recurrence, relationships, parenting, relating to a new body, care transitions for adult survivors of childhood cancer, disclosing health information, and financial burden of cancer. Podcast guests were invited based on lived or learned experience in these domains. Thirteen guests (survivors, experts) and four hosts (two cancer survivors, two oncologists) co-created 15 podcast episodes. Podcast guests found the storytelling experience to be powerful and therapeutic.
    Discussion: Digital storytelling is a scalable and accessible educational tool for communicating complex survivorship concepts that can amplify survivors' voices and increase awareness among survivors and clinicians. Co-creation of educational resources for cancer survivorship by survivors and professionals is a feasible and innovative educational strategy.
    Practical value: A podcast created by and for cancer survivors in partnership with medical experts highlights opportunities for peer-to-peer digital storytelling to foster community among survivors and caregivers.
    Funding: Podcast production was supported by the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center.

    Abstract Context: Mentoring has been identified as an important method of supporting newly credentialed athletic trainers (ATs) during their transition to practice. Gaining a better understanding of this relationship could provide valuable insights that may assist employers and professional programs in developing a plan to better facilitate the transition.
    Objective: To examine which aspects of the mentoring relationship provided the most benefit during the transition to practice of newly certified ATs.
    Design: Qualitative study.
    Setting: Individual phone interviews.
    Patients or other participants: A total of 13 ATs who graduated from a professional master's program, were certified from February through July 2016, and obtained employment from July through August 2016 participated in this study (6 women, 7 men; age = 26 ± 3 years; work settings included professional sports, college, secondary and middle school, and clinic). Data saturation guided the number of participants.
    Data collection and analysis: Phone interviews using a semistructured interview guide were conducted at 3, 8, and 12 months of work experience. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative approach. Credibility was established via investigator triangulation, peer debriefing, and member checks.
    Results: Participants recognized the mentoring relationship as a foundational aspect of the transition to practice. Mentors should be available by phone, email, or text to answer questions, provide feedback, or discuss ideas. Respondents wanted honest feedback, even when that feedback was constructively critical. Feedback was sought regarding topics such as patient care, communication, and networking. Participants needed reassurance and support from their mentors to help validate and improve their self-confidence.
    Conclusions: Newly credentialed ATs should seek mentors who will be available to communicate in various ways and will provide regular and constructive feedback. Future researchers should investigate how mentoring relationships influence other aspects of the transition to practice, such as patient care, overall job performance, turnover, and satisfaction.

    Abstract Prostate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a widely used imaging technique to detect intraprostatic lesions and guide prostate biopsies, with continuous technical advances for better accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis. Current evaluation of prostate multiparametric MR imaging mainly depends on qualitative evaluation, which is prone to inter-reader variation. Recent advances in prostate MR imaging, such as quantitative T2 mapping and abbreviated MR imaging protocols (eg, biparametric MR imaging), are designed to simplify prostate MR imaging acquisition and interpretation.
