American Nurse Today, the official journal of the American Nurses Association (ANA), and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md, have partnered to deliver succinct reports of current research to nurses in practice.
“Through this series of articles, we look forward to working with American Nurse Today to get more scientifically tested information into the hands of clinical nurses. Enhancing the connection between research and evidence-based practice will help nurses improve the health outcomes of their patients,” says Patricia A. Grady, PhD, RN, FAAN, director of NINR since 1995.
The first article in this periodic series focuses on research related to palliative care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Specific topics include an examination of clinician communications patterns in the ICU and ways to provide more effective communication with patients and families, including a strategy based on the mnemonic VALUE: Value what the family members say, Acknowledge their emotions, Listen, Understand the patient as a person, and Elicit questions. To read the article in the January 2009 issue of American Nurse Today, visit AmericanNurseToday,com/journal.
“We’re pleased to work with NINR to ensure nurses in clinical practice receive the latest research information,” says Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, FAAN, NEA-BC, Editor-in-Chief of American Nurse Today. “Given their busy work lives, nurses need brief summaries so they can quickly apply research results to improve patient care.”

In addition to keeping nurses abreast of ANA’s advocacy for the profession, American Nurse Today provides valuable, peer-reviewed, evidence based clinical, practical and career information that nurses can assimilate into their busy practices immediately.
