Abstract: Provides a critical reflection on the integration of empirical learning with the literature on integrative reviews. Avers that in undertaking an integrative review, Granduate Entry Nursing students learn how nursing care is based in evidence-based practice. Considers the common problems for nursing students which make supervisory oversight necessary at every stage. Draws on the experiences of three academic supervisors with threshold concepts to suggest that incorporating a research identity into students' developing nursing identity enhances evidence-informed practice.

BMC Geriatrics, 22(1). Retrieved April 27, 2024, from http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-021-02696-8
Abstract: Undertakes a retrospective review of nursing home residents' data obtained from the NZ International Residential Assessment Instrument national dataset, 2015-2018. Includes 198,790 aged care residents, calculating weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Defines multi-morbidity as the presence of 2 or more health conditions. Measures the risk of disability by a self-performance scale. Highlights an inverse relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) and BMI.
