Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals face significant barriers to gender-affirming health care, leading to disproportionate poor health outcomes. These challenges are rooted in intersecting ideological structures of domination, manifesting as “transgender health dilemmas”: the forced choice between trans-specific health needs and other necessities, and subsequent disengagement from formal health care due to discriminatory and unaffordable systems. This discussion paper introduces and leverages these dilemmas through Moser's practical and strategic gender needs framework to articulate comprehensive nursing actions, advancing practical interventions for immediate support and strategic actions for systemic change in policy, education, and practice. This framework offers a practical framework for nurses to uphold dignity, alleviate suffering, and foster health justice, underscoring nursing's crucial role in achieving equitable health outcomes for TGD populations worldwide.

Most older adults want to remain in their homes and independent for as long as possible. The field of gerontechnology emerged to advance aging-in-place possibilities in response to a globally increasing population of persons aged 65 and over. Yet, significant challenges to technology adoption remain. Gerontology nurse scientists and practitioners are well-positioned to address these challenges. However, they remain underrepresented in the field. No formal organization exists where international nurses leading technological innovations can collaborate and share knowledge – keeping up with the pace of innovation. We introduce the new Global Gerontechnology Center for Nursing Science, and share the mission, vision, values, and action plan. We invite nurse scientists and practitioners leading innovative gerontechnology research, and their interdisciplinary partners, to collaborate to advance possibilities for optimal aging in a digital world globally.

Loneliness in older adults is a growing public health concern linked to poorer physical and mental health. Social capital, defined as connections, relationships, and community resources, can shield these effects and improve community resilience.
Purpose
This paper presents the American Academy of Nursing’s position on addressing loneliness and highlights nurse-led strategies to strengthen social connections.
Methods
A review of current research, best practices, and policy initiatives informed expert consensus on effective interventions.
Discussion
Communities with stronger social capital experience, better health, safety, and civic engagement. Nurses can lead interventions such as community programs, peer support, and technology-assisted social engagement that are evidence-based, patient-centered, and culturally sensitive.
Conclusion
Enhancing social capital through nurse-led initiatives reduces loneliness, promotes health, and strengthens societal cohesion, demonstrating the critical role of nursing leadership in addressing this urgent public health issue.

With increasing barriers to conducting transgender health research in the US, recruiting transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive (TNGE) people for research studies has grown in complexity and criticality. The purpose of this study was to explore methods used to recruit TNGE adults in qualitative research studies and to identify participant motivations for joining these studies. Researchers used a qualitative descriptive approach to conduct a secondary analysis of qualitative data from two distinct nurse-led studies related to transgender health. Using data from interviews with 59 TNGE participants, a framework for effective recruitment activities was generated, and three themes describing participant motivations for enrolling were developed: (1) benefit to self and others, (2) advocacy for self and others, and (3) support for research and education. Analysis of recruitment methods and outcomes in these qualitative studies may aid researchers in conducting transgender health research in a challenging sociopolitical climate.

Background
Anti-intellectualism—defined here as attitudes or practices that systematically devalue intellectual engagement, critical thinking, and scientific research--has research—has the potential to constrain the field of nursing from moving forward.
Purpose
We offer our perspective on the post-pandemic landscape and contemporary nursing pressures; the rise in for-profit nursing programs; threats to the doctoral pipeline; and the future of nursing science.
Methods
This paper critically examines and integrates insights from scholarly research, popular press sources, and recent events.
Discussion
In response to anti-intellectualism, nurses must be prepared to effectively uphold the importance of nursing science and education in order to advocate for their own professional interests and autonomy.
Conclusion
A call for reclaiming scholarship is essential to sustaining a strong, resilient nursing workforce that is well prepared well-prepared to meet the nation's healthcare health care needs.
