Aim: Purpose of this current study is to evaluate the results of studies involving shareholder evaluations about the internship training program, one of the clinical practice models in nursing. Method: The study was carried out as a systematic review using the keywords “intörn”, “intern”, “hemşire” from the host databases of Google Scholar, Dergi Park Academic, Ulakbim and EBSCO between September 2019-August 2020. Results: In the screenings performed, 1112 studies were reached, and a total of 10 articles that fully met the inclusion criteria were included in the review. All of the articles reviewed were in descriptive type, and the researchers created data collection forms themselves in line with the scientific literature. In most of the studies (60%), evaluation of the internship model applied for the first time was aimed, one study focused on problems of the model and in another, classical education was compared with internship practices. Conclusion: In all the studies examined, it was determined that internship training had beneficial contributions, together with positive assessments about the practice and suggestions for its continuity. In terms of strengthening student education, school-hospital cooperation is needed and therefore all shareholders, especially the nurse managers have an important role in the organization.

Introduction: Nurse turnover is a problem linked to low job satisfaction and organizational commitment; therefore, appropriate nurse retention strategy from nursing managers and human resource is needed. This study aims to explain the effects of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on nurse retention. Methods: This systematic review uses registration protocol from The Joanna Briggs Institute Guideline as a guide in the quality assessment of the summarized studies. Studies using the PICOS Framework were sourced from the following databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, EBSCOhost, JSTOR, SAGE, and ProQuest, published between 2010-2020, the study design was limited to cross-sectional, quasi-experiment, and randomized control trials. The feasibility study assessment used the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal; the search keywords were adjusted according to the Medical Subject Headings and Boolean operators. The selection results are displayed in the PRISMA flow chart. Results: The initial search of the entire database found 8059 articles, then several duplication screenings of titles  30 articles were extracted. A feasibility assessment was carried out so that the remaining 25 articles were divided into two themes, namely job satisfaction and organizational commitment, each of which can affect nurse retention. According to this study, organizational commitment has a broader dimension of job satisfaction. Conclusion: Job satisfaction and organizational commitment have an influence on nurse retention; both are of concern for nurse managers to create effective nurse retention strategy.

The purpose of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine if low-ratio n-6/n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation affects serum inflammation markers based on current studies.

Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to identify parent education procedures implemented in intervention studies focused on expressive verbal communication for nonverbal (NV) or minimally verbal (MV) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parent education has been shown to be an essential component in the habilitation of individuals with ASD. Parents of individuals with ASD who are NV or MV may particularly benefit from parent education in order to provide opportunities for communication and to support their children across the life span. Method ProQuest databases were searched between the years of 1960 and 2018 to identify articles that targeted verbal communication in MV and NV individuals with ASD. A total of 1,231 were evaluated to assess whether parent education was implemented. We found 36 studies that included a parent education component. These were reviewed with regard to (a) the number of participants and participants' ages, (b) the parent education program provided, (c) the format of the parent education, (d) the duration of the parent education, (e) the measurement of parent education, and (f) the parent fidelity of implementation scores. Results The results of this analysis showed that very few studies have included a parent education component, descriptions of the parent education programs are unclear in most studies, and few studies have scored the parents' implementation of the intervention. Conclusions Currently, there is great variability in parent education programs in regard to participant age, hours provided, fidelity of implementation, format of parent education, and type of treatment used. Suggestions are made to provide both a more comprehensive description and consistent measurement of parent education programs.

Purpose We sought to critically analyze and evaluate published evidence regarding feasibility and clinical potential for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes of the frequency-following responses (FFRs) to speech recordings in neonates (birth to 28 days). Method A systematic search of MeSH terms in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied HealthLiterature, Embase, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline (R) and E-Pub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations and Daily, Web of Science, SCOPUS, COCHRANE Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed. Manual review of all items identified in the search was performed by two independent reviewers. Articles were evaluated based on the level of methodological quality and evidence according to the RTI item bank. Results Seven articles met inclusion criteria. None of the included studies reported neurodevelopmental outcomes past 3 months of age. Quality of the evidence ranged from moderate to high. Protocol variations were frequent. Conclusions Based on this systematic review, the FFR to speech can capture both temporal and spectral acoustic features in neonates. It can accurately be recorded in a fast and easy manner at the infant's bedside. However, at this time, further studies are needed to identify and validate which FFR features could be incorporated as an addition to standard evaluation of infant sound processing evaluation in subcortico-cortical networks. This review identifies the need for further research focused on identifying specific features of the neonatal FFRs, those with predictive value for early childhood outcomes to help guide targeted early speech and hearing interventions.

Purpose The 2 most commonly used operations to treat velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI) are superiorly based pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty, both of which may result in hyponasal speech and airway obstruction. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe the bilateral buccal flap revision palatoplasty (BBFRP) as an alternative technique to manage VPI while minimizing these risks and (b) conduct a systematic review of the evidence of BBFRP on speech and other clinical outcomes. A report comparing the speech of a child with hypernasality before and after BBFRP is presented. Method A review of databases was conducted for studies of buccal flaps to treat VPI. Using the principles of a systematic review, the articles were read, and data were abstracted for study characteristics that were developed a priori. With respect to the case report, speech and instrumental data from a child with repaired cleft lip and palate and hypernasal speech were collected and analyzed before and after surgery. Results Eight articles were included in the analysis. The results were positive, and the evidence is in favor of BBFRP in improving velopharyngeal function, while minimizing the risk of hyponasal speech and obstructive sleep apnea. Before surgery, the child's speech was characterized by moderate hypernasality, and after surgery, it was judged to be within normal limits. Conclusion Based on clinical experience and results from the systematic review, there is sufficient evidence that the buccal flap is effective in improving resonance and minimizing obstructive sleep apnea. We recommend BBFRP as another approach in selected patients to manage VPI. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9919352
