Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...
Nursing Ethical Principles I01:22

Nursing Ethical Principles I

Ethical principles serve as the moral compass in the longstanding tradition of nursing, guiding healthcare professionals in their interactions with patients and families. These principles, namely autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, provide a robust framework for navigating the ethical complexities of daily nursing practice.
Autonomy
Autonomy underscores the significance of a patient's self-determination and freedom from external control. In healthcare, respecting the...
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Scholarship
  • Research Integrity
  • Scholarly Publishing

Background:

  • Predatory publishing poses a significant challenge in nursing scholarship.
  • Current identification methods often use simplistic classifications, failing to capture the complexity of the issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine predatory publishing in nursing using a systems-based, behavior-focused approach.
  • To assess nursing journals using the Predation Index and interpret findings within the Journal Systems Framework.

Main Methods:

  • A dataset of 265 nursing journals was evaluated using the Predation Index, a behavior-based instrument.
  • Journals were scored and categorized based on predatory indicators, with findings interpreted through the Journal Systems Framework.
  • Longitudinal comparisons were made with journals from a 2016 study.

Main Results:

  • Of 166 assessed journals, 57% scored in the highest range (7-10) for predatory indicators.
  • A significant number of journals (99) were no longer available for assessment, indicating system instability.
  • Journals on exclusionary lists were found across all score categories, suggesting lists act as risk screens.

Conclusions:

  • Predatory publishing in nursing should be viewed as a systems-level phenomenon.
  • A behavior-based, systems framework aids in differentiating between structurally compromised and exploitative journals.
  • This approach supports more accurate and ethical responses to research integrity concerns.
