    Abstract Introduction: Drivers of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) are an essential workforce that is affected by extreme weather events and high exposure risk to airborne infectious diseases due to their proximity with customers. The purpose of this study was to understand TNC drivers' professional experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and their opinions about climate change and the development of future pandemics.
    Methods: Open- and closed-ended responses were collected during TNC rides and analyzed with content analysis and descriptive statistics.
    Results: We found more participants believed in the COVID-19 pandemic compared to participants who believed in climate change. Overall, participants were less concerned about COVID-19 than climate change. However, several participants felt that the pandemic had a positive impact on the climate system, specifically by reducing air pollution from traffic. Few participants felt that climate change could lead to the development of future pandemics.
    Conclusions: The TNC essential workforce could be integral for identifying transportation and public health sectors solutions for addressing the occupational health needs of an essential workforce, and response to climate change and pandemics.

    Abstract Background: Engaging in effective community partnerships is a core competency for advanced nursing practice.
    Purpose: To describe a semester-long population health project that involved collaboration with a community partner in an online and asynchronous advanced nursing practice course and to evaluate students' perceptions of their community partner collaboration.
    Methods: At the beginning of the course, students selected health topics and community partners. Perceptions of the collaboration were evaluated in a survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
    Results: Approximately 59% of the students found the community partnership was very valuable. Barriers for working with community partners included reluctancy, feeling like a burden, and challenges with scheduling. Facilitators for working with community partners included receiving support on the project, gaining new perspectives, and the collaborative relationship.
    Conclusions: Community partnership assignments on population health projects can support students in obtaining skills on effective community partnerships while they are in their education programs.

    Abstract Aim: To obtain a deeper understanding of peoples' experiences of cancer treatments with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
    Background: ICIs are transforming survival outcomes for many with certain advanced cancers. Given the possibility of unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs), understanding treatment experiences is crucial to identify support needs and provide safe and effective person-centred care.
    Design: A systematic review of qualitative research and thematic synthesis. To report this review, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Analysis and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) checklist and Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) guidance have been used.
    Data sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science databases were searched in January 2022 for eligible studies published in English from database inception.
    Review methods: Two reviewers independently screened records, identified papers for inclusion and appraised methodological quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist. Themes were developed using thematic synthesis.
    Results: Eighteen papers were included and three analytical themes developed: immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment decision-making; the experience and impact of immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments; and appraising and responding to irAEs.
    Conclusion: The synthesis renders visible individuals' unmet information, psychological and practical support needs. It identifies shortcomings in immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment decision-making processes and highlights the need for healthcare professionals to recognise and sensitively handle individuals' treatment expectations. Individuals' understandings of and responses to irAEs are also illustrated, and attention drawn to patients' concerns about healthcare professionals' checkpoint inhibitor and irAEs knowledge.
    Implications for patient care: To sensitively manage treatment expectations and uncertainties, and optimise health outcomes, there are distinct points in treatment trajectories where care and support might require adapting and enhancing.
    Impact: This review addresses people's experiences of immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments. The core findings reveal unmet information, psychological and practical support needs. Insights derived from this review will enhance individuals' experiences and outcomes and healthcare professionals' practice.
    Patient or public contribution: No patient or public involvement.

    Abstract The number of school-aged students with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds is increasing across the United States. This survey identifies strategies school nurses use for communicating to families with limited English proficiency and describes recommendations to improve language needs. The online survey was completed by K-12 school nurses and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Among the 52 participants, only 23% (n = 12) indicated that resources they were currently using to interpret health information always met their language needs, with the most common resource described as school personnel who can speak the language needed for interpretation. To improve communication, most (73%; n = 38) participants described preferences for in-person resources and estimated that if on-demand interpreter resources were readily available, they would use on-demand resources for approximately 3.6 hours per week. By improving linguistic and cultural competencies among students and families with limited English proficiency, school nurses can improve student health outcomes.

    Abstract The purpose of the current study was to compare quality of life health outcomes during the year prior to and first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic among people who lived in a nursing home. This study used quarterly cross-sectional data from Minimum Data Sets between March 2019 and March 2021 among 96 people who resided in a nursing home. Health outcomes were cognitive function, transfer ability, depression, rejecting care, falls, urinary tract infections, physical conflict, and verbal conflict. Data were analyzed using Stuart-Maxwell test to compare differences in health outcomes in the year prior to and first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were statistically significant differences between the two time periods for the worsening of health outcomes related to transfer ability, rejecting care, physical conflict, and verbal conflict. Understanding the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on health outcomes among people who live in nursing homes is critical for improving individual health and health system preparedness. [

    Abstract This paper calls into question whether and how end-of-life care pathways facilitate the accomplishment of a 'good death'. Achieving a 'good death' is a prominent social and political priority and an ideal which underpins the philosophy of hospice and palliative care. End-of-life care pathways have been devised to enhance the care of imminently dying patients and their families across care settings and thereby facilitate the accomplishment of a 'good death'. These pathways have been enthusiastically adopted and are now recommended by governments in the UK as 'best practice' templates for end-of-life care. However, the literature reveals that the 'good death' is a nebulous, fluid concept. Moreover, concerns have been articulated regarding the efficacy of care pathways in terms of their impact on patient care and close analysis of two prominent end-of-life pathways reveals how biomedical aspects of care are privileged. Nonetheless drawing on a diverse range of evidence the literature indicates that end-of-life care pathways may facilitate a certain type of 'good death' and one which is associated with the dying process and framed within biomedicine.

    Abstract Aim: To understand the perceived helpfulness and acceptability of a bespoke psychological therapy service for registered nurses. The service provided a free and confidential specialist mental health service to all healthcare professionals, including nurses and nursing students.
    Design: An exploratory study using a descriptive qualitative approach.
    Methods: A purposive sample of 20 registered nurses accessing a bespoke psychological therapy service in Wales participated in audio-recorded semi-structured interviews in January 2022. Transcribed data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
    Results: Four interrelated themes were identified from the data analysis: COVID [SARS-CoV-2] changed things; You're a nurse, you're human; I've got 'me' back; and pretty close to miracle workers.
    Conclusion: Participants attempted to live up to an idealized image of a nurse, generating self-stigmatizing beliefs that negatively affected their mental health. The psychological therapy service enabled participants to put their roles into perspective, that is, separate themselves from their role, be vulnerable, and develop confidence and adaptive coping strategies. Participants valued the minimal barriers and ease of access to support.
    Implications for the profession and/or patient care: The complex relationship between nurse identity and the challenges of the workplace needs to be central to nurse education. Nurses can benefit from rapid access to a timely, confidential, and independent self-referring psychological therapy service.
    Impact: This qualitative study explored the helpfulness and accessibility of psychological support for nurses. The main themes were that COVID changed things; You're a nurse, you're human; I've got 'me' back; and pretty close to miracle workers. The findings will impact how nurses are supported in the United Kingdom and worldwide.
    Reporting method: This report adheres to the standards for reporting qualitative research (SRQR).
    Patient or public contribution: No patient or public contribution.

    Abstract Harm reduction is an evidence-based approach that could promote health equity through the implementation of pragmatic strategies for people who use drugs or who engage in sex work. The purposes of this study were to describe whether nurses received harm reduction education in their nursing programs, whether nurses are practicing harm reduction, and strategies for integrating harm reduction within nursing curriculum. An online survey was delivered to nurses and an interview with a nurse harm reductionist was conducted. Among the 30 survey participants, only 17% (n = 5) stated they were taught about harm reduction in their nursing programs. On average, survey participants practiced harm reduction less than "half of the time" by meeting people where they are in their drug use or sex work. The nurse harm reductionist described how harm reduction should be taught as a skillset for evidence-based nursing practice. By incorporating harm reduction principles into nursing education and nursing practice, nurses can provide competent care for people who use drugs or who engage in sex work.

    Abstract Aim: To explore the experiences of early-career registered nurses working in specialist adolescent/young adult cancer units.
    Design: Narrative Inquiry.
    Methods: A purposive sample of nine early-career registered nurses from six specialist adolescent/young adult cancer units in the United Kingdom participated in online in-depth narrative conversations between October 2020 and January 2021. Data were analysed thematically using Clandinin and Connelly's (2000) metaphorical three-dimensional narrative inquiry approach focussed on commonplaces of temporality, sociality and place.
    Results: The intensity and complexity of the nursing work associated with young patients and their families, over protracted periods, impacted the nurses personally and professionally. The similarity of age between patients and nurses was shown as having benefits as well as posing risks. The complexity of four types of nursing labour was highlighted: emotional, cognitive, physical and organizational providing justification for the provision of specialist training and support.
    Conclusion: This study presents unique insights into the complex work of early-career nurses in specialist units that reveal challenges in caring for the distinct needs of this cancer patient population.
    Impact statement: Better understanding of the experience of adolescent/young adult nursing work is revealed. Nurse managers could use these findings to consider the level of expertise on cancer units and ensure a spread of ages and experience. Managers and funders should also consider the clinical supervision and well-being needs of nurses so that they can thrive in these unique environments. Educators could use findings to develop curricula and reinforce messages of self-care, reflection and boundary management. The findings of this study may be transferable to other areas where early-career nurses care for younger age groups. PUBLIC AND PATIENT ENGAGEMENT AND INVOLVEMENT IN RESEARCH STATEMENT: No patient or public contribution was requested or required as this research wanted to examine nurses' experiences and not those of patients or the public.
