    Abstract Women in the period of emerging adulthood (18-25 years of age) have the greatest rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Despite this disproportionate risk, women's sexual and reproductive health needs during emerging adulthood are poorly understood. As a result, few age-specific policies or person-centered practice guidelines are available to reduce sexual risk. In this commentary we explore the unique characteristics of emerging adulthood that contribute to greater sexual and reproductive health risks for women. Current evidence on sexual and reproductive health outcomes of women during emerging adulthood and limited practice guidelines are discussed. Recommendations for health care providers, especially nurses, for guiding personalized care for women in emerging adulthood are discussed.

    Abstract Background: Peer mentorship is a vital component of doctoral education; however, few studies describe peer mentorship in Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhDN) programs.
    Objectives: Explore characteristics, benefits, and challenges of peer mentorship experienced by PhD-N students.
    Design: An electronic survey was sent to PhD-N program administrators at member institutions of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in the United States. Contacts were asked to distribute the survey to current and recently graduated PhD-N students. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze participant demographics. Thematic analysis was used to analyze survey responses.
    Results: Respondents (n = 213) provided perspectives from every PhD-N program phase, with 43.3 % (n = 91) pre-candidacy, 41.0 % (n = 86) candidacy, and 15.7 % (n = 33) recently graduated students. A total of 55.2 % (n = 117) received some form of peer mentorship. Thematic analysis revealed three peer mentorship levels (map, compass, first mate) representing varying degrees of emotional investment. Peer mentorship benefits included feeling connected to peers and the institution, strengthening research skills, and feeling supported. Barriers to peer mentorship include lack of time and institutional support, fear of burdening others, and poorly matched mentors.
    Conclusion: Given that peer mentorship recipients reported feeling supported and less isolated, academic institutions should build a culture that promotes and supports peer mentorship. Future research should examine peer mentorship effects on PhD-N students' mental health, academic success, and faculty transition.

    Abstract Aims: To explore how emerging adult-aged women self-manage their sexual and reproductive health and to generate a grounded theory of these self-management processes.
    Design: Grounded theory methods using a constructivist approach.
    Methods: Between September 2019 and September 2020, 18- to 25-years-old women (n = 13) were recruited from a 4-year university, a 2-year community college, and neighbourhoods surrounding the institutions of higher education. Individual interviews were transcribed verbatim and qualitatively analysed using a constant comparative method and inductive coding.
    Results: The theory purports that core processes of sexual and reproductive health self-management used by the women in this study included both passive and (re)active processes. These processes expanded upon and/or maintained the women's accessible sexual and reproductive health knowledge, behaviour and beliefs, defined as the sexual and reproductive health repertoire. The processes appeared to be cyclical and were often initiated by a catalysing event or catalyst and resulted in conversations with confidantes, or trusted individuals. A catalyst was either resolved or normalized by expanding or maintaining the sexual and reproductive health repertoire.
    Conclusion: The resulting theory, EMeRGE Theory, offers insight into the complex and cyclical processes emerging adult-aged women use to simultaneously develop and adapt their foundational sexual and reproductive health knowledge, behaviours and beliefs.
    Implications for the profession and/or patient care: This explication of emerging adult-aged women's sexual and reproductive health self-management processes can be used by nurses and nurse researchers to better address this population's unique health needs.
    Impact: The EMeRGE Theory provides valuable guidance for future exploratory and intervention research aimed at improving the health and well-being of emerging adult-aged women.
    Reporting method: The authors adhered to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative studies (COREQ) in preparation of this publication.
    Patient or public contribution: No patient or public contribution.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this article is to provide practical strategies for maintaining methodological rigour in executing a virtual qualitative study. Strategies are based on evidence from existing research about virtual qualitative methods and on the strategies used by the authors to convert a planned in-person qualitative, grounded theory study to an entirely virtual grounded theory study during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study began in-person in September 2019 and was converted to virtual in March 2020. Virtual data collection was completed in September 2020.
    Design: This article provides a case exemplar of virtual adaptations made to a study underway when the pandemic rendered all in-person research impractical and potentially dangerous.
    Data sources: The strategies discussed are based on our own experiences and the supporting theoretical assumptions of qualitative research, specifically grounded theory methods.
    Implications for nursing: Nursing scholars conducting qualitative inquiry may find these strategies helpful in continuing research activities during periods of limited access to the phenomena or persons of interest. Furthermore, these strategies allow nursing scholars to conduct rigorous, in-depth research without geographical limitations, providing greater possibilities for international collaborations and cross-institution research.
    Conclusion: Despite novel challenges, methodological adaptations that are carefully planned and purposeful allow qualitative and non-qualitative scholars to continue research activities in a fully virtual manner.
    Impact: This case exemplar and discussion provide practical strategies for qualitative scholars to consider while planning new studies or converting an in-person study to a virtual one. Despite the in-person nature of in-depth qualitative inquiry, a historic pandemic and a changing research environment require qualitative researchers to adapt to virtual methods while still conducting high quality, methodologically rigorous research. Qualitative scholars can use the strategies presented here to continue rigorous qualitative inquiry despite limited access to phenomena or persons.

    Abstract Objective: Stress is widely considered to be a risk factor for high blood pressure (BP), but evidence on the associations between biomarkers of chronic stress and BP is inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the current state of the science on relationships between measures of cortisol concentration reflecting chronic stress exposure [hair cortisol concentration (HCC), nail cortisol concentration)] and BP.
    Methods: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched. Random effects models were used to assess the pooled effect size. Exploratory moderation analysis was performed.
    Results: Out of 34 014 identified, 16 articles met eligibility criteria and were included in the review, while 14 were included in the meta-analysis. No articles were reported on the association between nail cortisol concentration and BP. Small, positive associations were observed between HCC and SBP [ r  = 0.19 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08-0.29)] and HCC and DBP [ r  = 0.13 (95% CI: 0.04-0.22)]. Cortisol analysis method was identified as a significant moderator of the association between HCC and DBP. HCC was largely, positively associated with hypertension status [odds ratio = 3.23 (95% CI: 2.55-4.09), P  < 0.001].
    Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that higher HCC may be associated with elevated BP and a potential risk factor for hypertension. However, results should be interpreted with caution because HCC can be affected by hair color, hair care products, and analytic methods. Given the limitations of studies included in this review, further research is needed.

    Abstract Objective: Emerging adult-aged (EA;18-25 years) women have disproportionately high rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections compared to other women of reproductive age. Little is known about how EA women define and prioritize various aspects of sexual and reproductive health. The purpose of this study was to identify EA women determined definitions of sexual and reproductive health.
    Methods: Between September 2019 and September 2020, 13 women were interviewed about their sexual and reproductive health. Interview transcripts were used to conduct qualitative content analysis.
    Results: Definitions provided by participants were grouped according to three distinct thematic categories, Being Safe, Healthcare as a Tool, and Mind-Body Connection. Being Safe included using condoms and taking steps to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Healthcare as a Tool referred to utilization of healthcare services (e.g., an annual exam) to manage sexual and reproductive health. Mind-Body Connection included acknowledgement of both the physical and mental aspects of sexual and reproductive health, as well as awareness of physical and emotional discomfort related to it. These categories highlight EA women's holistic definitions of sexual and reproductive health.
    Conclusions: Healthcare providers and researchers can use the holistic sexual and reproductive health definitions endorsed by EA women in this study as a starting point for creating and delivering sexual and reproductive healthcare and counseling that is developmentally appropriate and sensitive to population-specific needs.

    Abstract Background: School based asthma care is being increasingly used to combat uncontrolled pediatric asthma.
    Objective: The purpose of these secondary analyses was to explore multi-level perspectives regarding school-based asthma medical management for inner city, school-aged children with poor asthma control.
    Methods: Sixty-six participants from two large U.S. urban school districts and key stakeholders participated in 1:1 interviews and focus groups. Participants were selected from across the asthma care community (children/caregivers, school personnel, nurses, pharmacists, healthcare providers, and administrators/insurers). Qualitative and descriptive techniques were used to analyze data.
    Results: Goals
    Conclusion: Moving away from a crisis-based approach to asthma management for high-risk children will require increased systemic support for proactive asthma care and optimized communication within the asthma care community.

    Abstract Mentorship is important for doctoral education and development. Students in Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing programs traditionally receive formal mentorship from more experienced faculty mentors, creating a top-down, mentor-mentee relationship. Peer mentorship, characterized by a mentor-mentee relationship between peers in similar career stages, provides unique opportunities for career development and socialization. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic limited in-person interactions and introduced new, complex challenges to peer mentorship. The authors, current and recently graduated PhD in Nursing students, were forced to create new ways of connecting with peers and sought to explore how other PhD in Nursing students experienced and maintained peer mentorship in their respective programs during the pandemic. In this article, the authors share their personal experiences with peer mentorship during the pandemic, their process of creating a formal peer mentor model, and findings from a national, cross-sectional survey on COVID-related, peer mentorship experiences among PhD in Nursing students from other academic institutions. Most respondents were able to maintain peer mentorship throughout the pandemic, however, less than half reported receiving faculty support to do so. Recommendations for PhD in Nursing program administrators are provided, based on the experiences of the authors and survey results from PhD in Nursing students across the United States.
