Nurses have long been an ideal pool of subjects for clinical research conducted by scientists and doctors. Nurses tend to be clustered in one area for ease of study, and they know how to follow directions both in study activities and in reporting their experience. But in the current quick-paced medical environment, where nurse roles are becoming more important and simultaneously more stretched, it's also time for nurses to take on more in terms of the research that impacts their field of practice. They should also be the ones conducting evidence-based research, gathering the data and drawing the conclusions before they go on to implement the findings.

Diversity is key to good journalism in a pluralistic society — whether diversity in topics, in journalists or in sources. Although women are included as sources in 48 percent of health news stories, the Woodhull Study on Nursing and the Media: Health Care’s Invisible Partner, published in 1998, found that nurses were identified as sources in only 4 percent of quotes or other sourcing in health news stories in leading print national and regional newspapers and 1 percent in weeklies and industry publications such as Modern Healthcare in September of 1997. Nurses were never cited in health news stories on policy and were rarely identified in photos accompanying the articles.
Twenty years later, are nurses used as sources more often in health news stories in print media?
Watch the May 8, 2018, announcement of the preliminary findings here.
The American Nurses' Association's workgroup revising the 2013 Public Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second Edition, has developed an anonymous and voluntary survey to inform its development work. The survey takes less than 7 minutes to complete, is not for the purposes of research, and can be accessed here.

Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
ANA is holding its annual Hill Day on June 20 in Washington, DC, and we want you to join us! Register now to visit with your Members of Congress and make sure your perspective on nursing legislation is heard.
Already in 2019, ANA supporters like you have driven action on bills that would #EndNurseAbuse in the workplace, remove barriers for APRNs providing home healthcare, and extend Title VIII education and workforce development funding to empower the next generation of nurses.
But our work is just getting started — to make sure these bills cross the finish line, ANA is bringing hundreds of nurse advocates to the Capitol this June to meet face-to-face with Members of Congress.

State lawmakers had a chance Thursday, May 16, to vote on ensuring that all Californians get the healthcare they need. Instead of rising to the occasion, they punted.
No, the matter at hand wasn’t a single-payer bill to provide universal coverage, although that would have been a good thing, too. Rather, the California Assembly Appropriations Committee decided to put off a vote until next year on a bill that would expand the ability of nurse practitioners to treat patients.
Such a move would go a long way toward addressing a severe shortage of primary-care doctors and would align us with other states that have adopted similar measures.

Biomedical-research funder the Wellcome Trust has announced an ambitious initiative to improve the treatment of snakebites in poor countries. Snakebites kill tens of thousands of people a year, partly because they are treated with archaic antivenoms that often work only for one species.
Wellcome’s £80 million program, announced on May 16, aims to improve existing therapies and will also support the development of antivenoms that can treat the toxins of different snake species.

As deer populations have exploded across America, moving from forests to suburbs to urban parks, they have brought the threat of Lyme disease to millions of city dwellers, a new study finds.
In fact, the deer tick that spreads Lyme disease is as prevalent in many New York City parks, as it is in areas known to be endemic for the bacterial disease, such as Connecticut and other states in the Northeast.

 Out of the four generations in today’s workforce, the millennial generation is the largest. They’re also the future of healthcare. Although the delayed retirement of older nurses has provided a buffer against low retention rates among new nurses, it’s only a matter of time before this buffer wanes. It’s time to tailor our work environments to meet their needs. Is your organization ready to attract and retain new nurse grads from the millennial generation? We can start by understanding what they want.

A new report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation looks into how nurses in the United States can help boost health and well-being for all Americans, but data shows that those in the field are concerned about being able to do all that they can.
Despite wanting to put their skills to use to help communities as care providers, community educators, and policy advocates, nurses across the U.S. are held back from all they can do by challenges like outdated nursing education, looming staffing shortages, and a steep lack of resources for the healthcare system. These difficulties cast a shadow on the future of nursing in the United States.

As more states legalize marijuana, more people in the U.S. are buying and using weed — and the kind of weed they can buy has become much stronger.
That concerns scientists who study marijuana and its effects on the body, as well as emergency room doctors who say they're starting to see more patients who come into the ER with weed-associated issues.

The ever-changing “head” of an influenza virus protein has an unexpected Achilles heel, report scientists funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, one of the National Institutes of Health. The team discovered and characterized the structure of a naturally occurring human antibody that recognizes and disrupts a portion of the hemagglutinin protein that the virus uses to enter and infect cells. The investigators determined that the antibody, FluA-20, binds tightly to an area on the globular head of the HA protein that is only very briefly accessible to antibody attack. The site was not expected to be vulnerable to such a strike.

 Walnuts may soon be thought of as the superfood of nuts, based on several research studies. A few years ago, studies indicated that a diet including walnuts may have a beneficial effect in reducing the risk, delaying the onset, and slowing the progression of, or preventing Alzheimer's disease. More recently, breast surgeons Mary Legenza, M.D., of Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center, and James Morgan, M.D., formerly of St. Mary's Medical Center, linked walnut consumption as a contributing factor that could suppress growth and survival of breast cancers.

If you want to save your brain, focus on keeping the rest of your body well with exercise and healthy habits rather than popping vitamin pills, new guidelines for preventing dementia advise.
About 50 million people currently have dementia, and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type. Each year brings 10 million new cases, says a report released by the World Health Organization. Although age is the top risk factor, "dementia is not a natural or inevitable consequence of aging," it says.

More than one-quarter of U.S. workers are likely to report having had lower back pain over the previous three months, according to a research report based on responses from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey.
When applied to the entire population, this amounts to nearly 40 million workers with a recent history of low back pain.

Your mother was right: broccoli is good for you. Long associated with decreased risk of cancer, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables—the family of plants that also includes cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, Brussels sprouts and kale—contain a molecule that inactivates a gene known to play a role in a variety of common human cancers. In a new paper published in Science, researchers, led by Pier Paolo Pandolfi, MD, Ph.D., Director of the Cancer Center and Cancer Research Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, demonstrate that targeting the gene, known as WWP1, with the ingredient found in broccoli suppressed tumor growth in cancer-prone lab animals.
