Today in academia and health care, creating a vision and crafting a career path that progresses toward that vision is essential. Career cartography is the comprehensive and iterative process of applying the science of cartography within the context of policy toward achieving a career with impact.
The purpose of this article is to advance the knowledge and application of the original publication as described by Feetham and Doering in 2015. Career cartography supports scientific thinking, communicates science, and addresses the uncertainty of a career.
We conducted a critical analysis of differences between the original publication and our current practical experience of career cartography. Workshops conducted the past 10 years have advanced our understanding of the career cartography components and their utility to one's career. This analysis is informed by a review of the 25 publications citing the 2015 publication to evaluate how scholars report applying the process across health professions and organizations.
All components of career cartography are expanded beyond the 2015 publication to include application of the process with exemplars.
Career cartography is an effective guide across disciplines and at all stages of a career for determining, directing, evaluating, and communicating one's career and its impact.
The intentional and ongoing use of career cartography maximizes the impact one's chosen career can have on improvements to health and health policy.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), affecting 5% of global children, presents inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Sleep problems, prevalent in 70% of cases, exacerbate long-term psychosocial challenges.
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of behavioral sleep intervention in alleviating sleep problems, enhancing quality of life (QoL), and reducing ADHD symptom severity among children diagnosed with ADHD.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2022 to April 2023. The intervention group (n = 47) engaged in a hybrid approach, participating in both face-to-face and Zoom sessions, while the control group (n = 45) received standard care. Data collection involved administering the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and ADHD Rating Scale IV (ADHD-RS-IV).
Significant enhancements were observed in CSHQ (p ≤ 0.001, effect size = 1.913), PedsQL (p ≤ 0.001, effect size = 1.862), and a notable reduction in ADHD-RS-IV (p ≤ 0.001, effect size = 1.548). These findings highlight the intervention's efficacy in improving sleep quality, QoL, and reducing ADHD symptomatology.
This trial contributes substantially to understanding behavioral sleep interventions' impact on ADHD-affected children, enhancing quality of life and ADHD symptomatology. The study highlights the importance of individualized care for optimal outcomes in children with ADHD.
The study's findings underscore the potential for integrating behavioral sleep interventions into routine nursing practices, offering a valuable approach to address sleep-related challenges in children with ADHD. By focusing on sleep improvement, nurses can contribute to enhancing overall well-being and emotional regulation in these children within the context of comprehensive healthcare.
