Obviously, nurse staffing is an issue that affects everyone — from staff to patients to families — so Kendra McMillan, Senior Policy Advisor at ANA, tells Nurse.org what nurses can expect from the updated guidelines.

Nurses experience twice the average rate of clinical depression compared to other occupations. Tough work conditions – such as being understaffed, withstanding verbal and physical harassment by patients and doctors and working long, grueling shifts – are just some of the many reasons why nurses are feeling mental burnout.
Promoting a sustainable, healthy work environment for nurses is necessary for the future of healthcare. Nurses need to know they have the tools and support they need to keep themselves safe when faced with difficult patients or aggressive visitors.

New data from almost 400,000 individuals who were followed for up to 43 years have shown that the link between raised non-HDL cholesterol and future risk of cardiovascular disease is strongest in younger people.
The researchers also simulated what effect a 50 percent reduction in cholesterol levels would have over a lifetime, and found that although this was effective at reducing cardiovascular risk at all ages, the largest relative risk reductions were in younger individuals — probably because they would have lowered their cholesterol exposure for a longer period of their lives.

 Advanced stages of diseases such as cancer, COPD, end-stage renal disease and heart failure can lead to a constellation of physical and psychosocial distress. Symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep and appetite, dyspnea, nausea and pain impact quality of life and can cause significant suffering. Often, these symptoms are intertwined with intense feelings of sadness, anxiety or depression. For those involved in the care of these individuals, the goal is to alleviate physical and emotional suffering as much as possible with the purpose of improving quality of life and optimizing well-being.

The study found most injuries occurred to people between the ages of 13 and 29 and were due to distracted driving, walking and texting with a cell phone.
