The effect of neuropalliative care on quality of life and satisfaction with quality of care in patients with progressive neurological disease and their family caregivers: an interventional control study
Background
It is recommended that patients with progressive neurological disease (PND) receive general and specialized palliative care. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of neuropalliative care on quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction with provided care in both patients with PND in advanced stages of disease and their family caregivers.
Methods
The sample consisted of 151 patients with PND and 140 family caregivers. The PNDQoL questionnaire was used for data collection. Patients and family caregivers completed the questionnaires both before and 3 months after the intervention.
Results
Before intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the individual domains of QoL in patients and family caregivers in either the intervention or the control group. After intervention, differences were identified in the sample of patients in the domains of
symptoms burden
(
p
< 0.001),
emotional
(p < 0 .001),
social functioning
(
p
= 0.046),
spiritual area (nonreligious)
(
p
= 0.050), and in
QoL
. In the sample of family caregivers, there were differences in the domains of
symptoms burden
(
p
< 0.001),
emotional functioning
(
p
= 0.016),
spiritual area (nonreligious)
(
p
= 0.042), and in the
assessment of health
(
p
= 0.002), and
QoL
(p = 0.002). Patients and family caregivers from the intervention group evaluated their satisfaction with the quality of care provided significantly more positively in all five analyzed domains.
Conclusion
The provision of neuropalliative care to patients with advanced stages of PND helped to maintain and slightly improve their QoL, and symptoms burden, and resulted in a more positive assessment of satisfaction with the quality of care provided.

‘Looking Back and Looking Forward’—Insights into the 20th European Doctoral Conference in Nursing Science (EDCNS)
Background: The European Doctoral Conference in Nursing Science provides a unique platform for doctoral students in nursing and health sciences to present their research in a supportive environment. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the 2024 conference embraced the motto “looking back and looking forward,” offering an opportunity to reflect on the development of nursing science and future challenges. Results: Held at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, the conference hosted 90 participants from 13 countries. It featured two keynote lectures, three workshops, 48 presentations, and a science slam. Abstract submissions underwent peer review to ensure the quality of presentations. The presentations highlighted key challenges and opportunities across nursing practice, healthcare work environments, education and digitalization in nursing, and health perspectives. Topics included, for example, workforce retention, artificial intelligence in nursing practice, leadership in error management, and culturally sensitive care. The keynotes emphasized the importance of patient and public involvement in research and the benefits of survey data in nursing science. Workshops imparted knowledge and skills regarding funding acquisition, guideline development, and effective research presentation. A science slam introduced innovative and creative ways to present research. Conclusions: The conference showcased the evolving landscape of nursing science, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practice, supportive working conditions, and constructive collaboration. It demonstrated the enthusiasm and readiness of a new generation of researchers to advance nursing science in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

Promoting Bedside Nurse-Led Research Through a Dedicated Neuroscience Nursing Research Fellowship
OBJECTIVE:We hypothesized that nurses would benefit from the fellowship model traditionally used to engage physicians in clinical research. The Neuroscience Nursing Research Center (NNRC) fellowship program was created as a model for engaging nurses at all levels of clinical practice to become active in clinical research.
BACKGROUND:The NNRC was established in 2013 as a novel approach to promote bedside nurses as primary investigators in clinical research.
METHODS:The NNRC developed 4 pathways to nursing research successresearch fellowship, student-nurse internship, didactic training, and research consultation.
RESULTS:Fellows have enrolled more than 900 participants in 14 studies. Nurses have presented more than 20 abstracts at 12 conferences and submitted 11 manuscripts for publication. The NNRC has provided research training to more than 150 nurses.
CONCLUSIONS:The NNRC program is successful in engaging nurses in research. It shows promise to continue to develop nursing research that is applicable to clinicians and thus improve patient care.

Finding a Middle Ground
Objective:
This comparative study of two adult neuro critical care units examined the impact of patient- and family-centered design on nurse–family interactions in a unit designed to increase family involvement.
Background:
A growing evidence base suggests that the built environment can facilitate the delivery of patient- and family-centered care (PFCC). However, few studies examine how the PFCC model impacts the delivery of care, specifically the role of design in nurse–family interactions in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) from the perspective of the bedside nurse.
Methods:
Two neuro ICUs with the same patient population and staff, but with different layouts, were compared. Structured observations were conducted to assess changes in the frequency, location, and content of interactions between the two units. Discussions with staff provided additional insights into nurse attitudes, perceptions, and experiences caring for families.
Results:
Nurses reported challenges balancing the needs of many stakeholders in a complex clinical environment, regardless of unit layout. However, differences in communication patterns between the clinician- and family-centered units were observed. More interactions were observed in nurse workstations in the PFCC unit, with most initiated by family. While the new unit was seen as more conducive to the delivery of PFCC, some nurses reported a loss of workspace control.
Conclusions:
Patient- and family-centered design created new spatial and temporal opportunities for nurse–family interactions in the adult ICU, thus supporting PFCC goals. However, greater exposure to unplanned family encounters may increase nurse stress without adequate spatial and organizational support.
