Review Meta Analysis
Effect of Educational Interventions for Improving the Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Pediatric Pain Management: A Aystematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding pediatric pain management. ⋯ Educational interventions significantly improve nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and ability to administer both pharmacological and nonpharmacological pediatric pain management interventions.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Early Cold Stored Platelet Transfusion Following Severe Injury: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
To determine the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of early cold stored platelet transfusion compared with standard care resuscitation in patients with hemorrhagic shock. ⋯ In severely injured patients, early cold stored platelet transfusion is feasible, safe and did not result in a significant lower rate of 24-hour mortality. Early cold stored platelet transfusion did not result in a higher incidence of arterial and/or venous thrombotic complications or adverse events. The storage age of the cold stored platelet product was not associated with significant outcome differences.

ReviewUnderstanding the complexity of cardiogenic shock management: the added value of advanced computational modeling.
The purpose of this review is to explain the value of computational physiological modeling for in-depth understanding of the complex derangements of cardiopulmonary pathophysiology during cardiogenic shock, particularly when treated with temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices. ⋯ The use of computational physiological models is increasingly appreciated for educational purposes as they help to understand the complexity of cardiogenic shock, especially when sophisticated management of tMCS is involved in addition to multimodal critical care support. Practical implementation of computational models as clinical decision support tools at the bedside is at the horizon but awaits rigorous clinical validation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The Effect of Psychoeducation Based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model on Dysmenorrhoea in Nursing Students: A Single-Blind Randomised Controlled Study.
The use of self-analgesics among women for dysmenorrhoea is common. Non-pharmacological methods can be employed to effectively cope with dysmenorrhoea. Psychoeducation based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model (SRM) is an affordable, easy, and non-pharmacological way that clinics can use to cope with dysmenorrhoea. ⋯ The psychoeducation reduced the severity of dysmenorrhoea pain and the functional and emotional impact levels of dysmenorrhoea and it was proved to be effective at helping the subjects cope with pain in the long term.

Comparative Study
Variation in Hospital Performance for General Surgery in Younger and Older Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
To compare hospital surgical performance in older and younger patients. ⋯ High surgical mortality rates in younger patients may be driven by both complication and failure-to-rescue rates. There is little overlap between low-mortality hospitals in the older and younger adult populations. Future work must delve into the root causes of this age-based difference in hospital-level surgical outcomes.
