Articles of Note: March 2020 (Social Distancing) Edition

My hunch is you are falling into one of two categories professionally right now–either ridiculously busy as you try and manage the clinical fallout that is the reality of the pandemic (I see you ED and critical care folks, and all you who are floating right now to lend a hand), or (my situation) eerily at a standstill as much of the work has fallen off the calendar and you are, for the time being, grounded. I am fortunate that my consulting firm has a diverse portfolio that includes a substantial amount of policy and writing work that I am able to do remotely, so for the time being, that will be where my focus lies. This also allows for some catch up with reading, so, as scheduled, it’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the newly released peer-reviewed literature. If things are slower for you, perhaps you’ll be able to catch up on some reading, as well. You’ll notice there’s more this month, and for those of you who include elder abuse among your areas of concentration, you’re particularly in luck–there was quite a bit this month on that subject.

Here’s hoping this finds you in good health; that those of you with school aged-children are figuring this out as schools are closed but work continues; that acts of kindness aren’t scarce in these uncertain times; and that the world resumes some sense of normalcy sooner rather than later. Stay well everyone.

Articles of Note: February 2020 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the newly published peer-reviewed literature. As always, this isn’t an exhaustive review of what’s been released, but a pretty robust list of the science that has caught my eye and feels particularly relevant to practice. Shoutout to all the forensic nurses publishing this month–I see you 🙂

There’s a lot to work through so gird your loins, gang. As always, links lead to PubMed abstracts.

Articles of Note: January 2020 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the newly published peer-reviewed literature, and our first edition here in our new home. There’s plenty to capture the attention, so take your time with the list.

I should also mention for those who didn’t see the initial newsletter or the announcement on social media, we’re giving away two IAFN conference registrations for this year’s meeting in Palm Springs. Last year, we gave away one, and we gave it to a reader. This year, it’s two, and it’s for someone a reader promotes. Why? Because people are out there doing good work. And because that good work needs to be shouted from the rooftops. And because there’s plenty of self-promotion in the world, but a paucity of lifting up of others. And we need to see forensic nurses shining in public. On social media in particular. So if you would like to participate, please tell us about a member of your crew who is doing great things. You can leave a comment here, email us–OR better yet, shout it from the social media rooftops on the FHO Facebook page or on Twitter. Please use the hashtag #ShineOnForensicRN so we can find your entries. Winners won’t be chosen at random so make those entries good. The giveaway will be live until January 22nd. All FHO readers are eligible, including international readers.

Anyway, back to this month’s articles–links lead to PubMed abstracts, excepts where indicated:

Articles of Note: December 2019 Edition (See You in 2020)

This will be the last post of the year–I am closing up shop for the remainder of the year to prep a couple of large projects and spend some time with family and friends (not to mention, celebrate a milestone birthday with Sasha 🙂 ). When I come back, it will likely be with a brand new website, a completely new look, and the 11th anniversary of FHO. I imagine there will be a giveaway involved in commemorating that momentous occasion, so stay tuned for more details.

I figured we’d end the year in the most appropriate way–one final Articles of Note to give folks a bit of reading over the holidays. You’ll notice it looks a little different–PubMed has had a facelift, and in the process, is better in some ways, but worse for this list. So now, all links lead to Publisher’s websites for abstracts, except where indicated (and there’s a lot that’s free full text this month). Nice to also see some friends among the authors.

As always, thanks for turning out to this nerdy little website in 2019. Almost 2000 of you now subscribe; more than 22K new users showed up this year, and if you’re wondering what the number one most visited page was on the site (besides the home page, of course), it was this one (which I guess, shouldn’t surprise me that much).

See you back here next year. A safe, happy and healthy holiday to you all.

xoxo Jen

Articles of Note: November 2019 Edition

Time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the peer-reviewed literature. Plenty to read, plenty to consider this month (as always). Links lead to PubMed abstracts–please don’t stop there. Sift through the abstracts to decide what’s worth your time, and what doesn’t apply to your clinical life. Better yet, divide among your colleagues and get together for real-time discussion. What an excellent use of staff meeting time.

Articles of Note: September 2019 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the peer-reviewed literature. Nothing free this month, but plenty worth tracking down, so I encourage you to spend some time with the list. It’s particularly fitting that I get a new edition up since I am sandwiching it between two weeks of teaching testimony, this week at Ft. Hood and next week at the annual IAFN conference, where we discuss at length the importance of fidelity to the science.

All links lead to PubMed abstracts. Happy reading!

Articles of Note: August 2019 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our regular romp through the peer-reviewed science. Check it: we have not one, but two scientific papers this month on physicians committing misconduct, so that’s fascinating. We also get a look at how a clinician’s personal history of domestic violence impacts clinical care. Needless to say, there’s some good reading to be done in this edition (as always). Most links go to PubMed abstracts except where otherwise indicated.

Articles of Note: May/June 2019 Edition

Time once again for Articles of Note, our (almost) monthly romp through the peer-reviewed literature in search of all things new and/or useful to clinical practice, public policy, and testimony. As you may have noticed, I didn’t make one happen in May, so this month’s combined is pretty lengthy. There’s *a lot* here to work through, but I think it’s worth it. Some familiar faces in the bunch, too. Hope you enjoy.

Articles of Note, March 2019 Edition

Since we’re in a research frame of mind, I figured I might as well go ahead with this month’s Articles of Note, and there’s a lot to work through. I don’t want to completely nerd out on everyone, but man, there is some good reading to be done. As always, links generally take you to PubMed abstracts except where indicated.

Articles of Note: February 2019 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly waltz through the newly published peer-reviewed literature. I have to tell you, it’s a pretty glorious selection this month. Links lead to PubMed abstracts except where indicated.

Thinking about having a journal club for your team (or just looking for the next article to assign)? Here are some suggestions based on this month’s review:

For adult/adolescent SANE programs: Ectopic pregnancy following oral levonorgestrel emergency contraception use. or Vulnerabilities Relevant for Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children/Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors.

For CAC/peds programs: Barriers and facilitators affecting self-disclosure among male survivors of child sexual abuse: The service providers’ perspective. or Estimating the probability of abusive head trauma after abuse evaluation.

For expanded programs: Acquired Brain Injury in the Context of Family Violence: A Systematic Scoping Review of Incidence, Prevalence, and Contributing Factors. or Childhood maltreatment and intimate partner violence victimization: A meta-analysis.

Articles of Note: December 2018 Edition

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly romp through the peer-reviewed science. There’s a lot to work through here, but that’s a good thing, right? I have a ridiculously long reading list myself. So in the spirit of the holidays, here’s to chewy stats, lit reviews that make your pulse race (no? just me?) and topics that hit that sweet spot between I just saw this in clinic last week and holy crap there’s a subpoena waiting for me on my desk. Cheers everyone!

It’s time once again for Articles of Note, our mostly-monthly romp through the newly published peer-reviewed literature. This edition is a whopper.

Articles of Note: September 2018 Edition

I had planned to post this yesterday, but I seem to have a gremlin in my Adobe Pro software right now, so apologies for the delay. I’m finally back in DC for a couple days before I head cross country to Fort Huachuca, and I desperately wanted to get this up, if for no other reason than it replenishes my reading stocks for these long flights and days that can often entail lots of sitting and waiting. As always, it’s not an exhaustive list, just what’s caught my attention in the new crop of peer-reviewed research. Several free full-text articles indicated on the list this month, so look out for those. Otherwise, all links lead to PubMed abstracts. Happy reading–lots of good stuff to occupy your time.

It’s time once again for Articles of Noite, our monthly romp through the new peer-reviewed literature. As usual, it’s not exhaustive–just the articles that have caught my attention and feel relevant to our practice. It feels like there’s a lot of good stuff to be found in this month’s roundup–I encourage you to spend some time wandering around the list.
