    Abstract Current nursing professional development programs include online education related to caring for COVID-19-positive patients. However, these resources failed to attract significant uptake of knowledge acquisition mainly because of poorly structured web pages. This discussion paper presents a unique perspective to designing professional development programs for frontline nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond through the use of interactive digital content (IDC). An overview of IDC is provided, followed by strategies for transforming existing nursing professional development education into IDC.

    Abstract Aim: To question the efficacy of 'gold' open access to published articles.
    Background: Open access is unrestricted access to academic, theoretical and research literature that is scholarly and peer-reviewed. Two models of open access exist: 'gold' and 'green'. Gold open access provides everyone with access to articles during all stages of publication, with processing charges paid by the author(s). Green open access involves placing an already published article into a repository to provide unrestricted access, with processing charges incurred by the publisher.
    Data sources: This is a discussion paper.
    Review methods: An exploration of the relative benefits and drawbacks of the 'gold' and 'green' open access systems.
    Discussion: Green open access is a more economic and efficient means of granting open access to scholarly literature but a large number of researchers select gold open access journals as their first choices for manuscript submissions. This paper questions the efficacy of gold open access models and presents an examination of green open access models to encourage nurse researchers to consider this approach.
    Conclusion: In the current academic environment, with increased pressures to publish and low funding success rates, it is difficult to understand why gold open access still exists. Green open access enhances the visibility of an academic's work, as increased downloads of articles tend to lead to increased citations.
    Implications for research/practice: Green open access is the cheaper option, as well as the most beneficial choice, for universities that want to provide unrestricted access to all literature at minimal risk.

    Abstract Expedited in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtualization of healthcare is becoming an inevitable norm. While this conveys hope for improving health systems performance, inequitable access could result in consequences that intensify health disparities and increase the burden on the health system. Nurse leaders are optimally positioned to tactfully influence policy directions on virtual care and shape a comprehensive research agenda that includes virtual nursing care in all domains of practice. With virtual care advancing into the mainstream, it is time to mind the health equity gap and co-design virtualized care that ensures the needs of all are met.

    Abstract Online patient education gaming interventions are needed for the adult cohort with congenital heart disease because current resources are not optimal. Online gaming interventions are currently being used throughout the health care environment. Even though my area of expertise encompasses the design and evaluation of patient education interventions, I have primarily focused on face-to-face and/or telephone-based interventions. My knowledge in the area of online gaming is severely limited. As a result, I undertook a scoping review to acquire a better understanding of what online gaming is, its associated characteristics, and the most common outcomes associated with these interventions. This case study presents an overview of a scoping review that I conducted with the main goal of summarizing and disseminating research findings, identifying research gaps, and making recommendations for future intervention design and evaluation. The stages for conducting a scoping review are presented along with some practical lessons learned.

    Abstract Aims: A cardiac surgery international nursing and allied professional research network titled CONNECT was created to strengthen collaborative cardiac surgery research through shared initiatives including supervision, mentorship, workplace exchange programs, and multi-site clinical research. As with any new initiative, there is a need to build brand awareness to enhance user familiarity, grow membership, and promote various opportunities offered. Social media has been used across various surgical disciplines; however, their effectiveness in promoting scholarly and academic-based initiatives has not been examined. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the different types of social media platforms and strategies used to promote cardiac research initiatives for CONNECT.
    Methods and results: A scoping review was undertaken in which a comprehensive and thorough review of the literature was performed. Fifteen articles were included in the review. Twitter appeared to be the most common form of social media used to promote cardiac initiatives, with daily posts being the most frequent type of engagement. Frequency of views, number of impressions and engagement, link clicks, and content analysis were the most common types of evaluation metrics that were identified.
    Conclusion: Findings from this review will inform the design and evaluation of a targeted Twitter campaign aimed at increasing brand awareness of CONNECT, which will include the use of @CONNECTcardiac Twitter handle, hashtags, and CONNECT-driven journal clubs. In addition, the use of Twitter to disseminate information and brand initiatives related to CONNECT will be evaluated using the Twitter Analytics function.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this discursive paper is to present nursing interventions that address memory loss following heart surgery and that can be incorporated into patients' overall plan of care.
    Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is the most frequent surgical treatment for cardiovascular disease. Despite the advantages, reports indicate CABG procedures significantly increase the risk of cerebral impairment and/or injury, which can present itself in the form of memory loss. Older individuals tend to be at higher risk for memory loss than other age groups. Age combined with the effects of the surgical procedure increases the likelihood that individuals over the age of 65 years will experience some form of memory loss following surgery. In this paper, the author presents a discussion of the relevance and implications of memory loss to clinical nursing practice with particular attention to strategies nurses should use when caring for patients experiencing this symptom.
    Relevance to clinical practice: Memory loss is a common symptom present in at least 25% of all patients following CABG. Screening for memory loss following CABG using reliable and valid instruments, revisions to current patient education initiatives to include calling patients following hospital discharge to review education and delivering education over multiple sessions, creating supportive reality-oriented relationships, and engaging in memory oriented training are suggested as nursing strategies that should be incorporated into existing nursing care for patients following CABG.
    Conclusion: Currently, nursing practice does not routinely incorporate assessment and management of memory loss into the overall plan of care for patients following heart surgery. Specific nursing strategies that centre on the assessment and management of memory loss need to be implemented into the standard of nursing practice.
