In nursing, they have proven to support clinical decision making, continuing education, the development of care plans and the management of complex clinical cases, as well as the writing of academic reports and scientific articles. Furthermore, the ability to provide rapid access to up-to-date scientific information can improve the quality of care and promote evidence-based practice. However, their applicability in clinical practice requires thorough evaluation. This study evaluated the accuracy, completeness and safety of the responses generated by ChatGPT-4 on pressure injuries (PIs) in infants. <b>Methods</b>: In January 2025, we analysed the responses generated by ChatGPT-4 to 60 queries, subdivided into 12 main topics, on PIs in infants. The questions were developed, through consultation of authoritative documents, based on their relevance to nursing care and clinical potential. A panel of five experts, using a 5-point Likert scale, assessed the accuracy, completeness and safety of the answers generated by ChatGPT. <b>Results:</b> Overall, over 90% of the responses generated by ChatGPT-4o received relatively high ratings for the three criteria assessed with the most frequent value of 4. However, when analysing the 12 topics individually, we observed that Medical Device Management and Technological Innovation were the topics with the lowest accuracy scores. At the same time, Scientific Evidence and Technological Innovation had the lowest completeness scores. No answers for the three criteria analysed were rated as completely incorrect. <b>Conclusions:</b> ChatGPT-4 has shown a good level of accuracy, completeness and safety in addressing questions about pressure injuries in infants.

It is designed to measure how caregivers support individuals with diabetes mellitus in carrying out self-care activities. Effective tools are essential for clinicians and researchers to evaluate factors influencing self-care, including caregivers' contributions. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Spanish translation of the CC-SCODI. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 201 caregivers of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) were recruited for participation in this cross-sectional study. Participants were selected through convenience sampling at a university hospital. Before administration, the survey questions were translated and culturally adapted to ensure appropriateness for both patients and caregivers. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on each of the CC-SCODI subscales using models fitted to the relevant indices. <b>Results:</b> The initial construction of the four-dimensional tool was verified. The internal consistency of the four subscales was assessed using Cronbach's α to measure the caregiver contribution to patients' self-care maintenance (α = 0.725), self-care monitoring (α = 0.728), self-care management (α = 0.729), and caregiver self-efficacy in contributing to patient self-care (α = 0.921). Model fit indices demonstrated a chi-square value of 1.028 with 773 degrees of freedom. CFA indicated an excellent model fit, confirming the reliability and validity of the proposed structure. <b>Conclusions:</b> The internal consistency and reliability of the Spanish version of the CC-SCODI were deemed adequate.

Professional dignity is pivotal to fostering self-esteem, job satisfaction, and high-quality care in nursing. Despite its importance, no validated tool currently exists to measure nurses' professional dignity in English-speaking contexts. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the Nurses' Professional Dignity Scale (NPDS). <b>Methods</b>: The tool's development was guided by a theoretical model from a meta-synthesis. A consensus meeting with five nurse researchers identified three core dimensions for the NPDS: Respect, Professional Value, and Appreciation. Nineteen items were initially generated and refined through face and content validity assessments (all item-level content validity indices [I-CVIs] ≥ 0.80; scale-level content validity index/Ave [S-CVI/Ave] = 0.92). Psychometric testing was conducted with 227 nurses across clinical settings in the United States using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate a three-factor model. <b>Results</b>: The CFA confirmed the three-factor model with acceptable fit indices (CFI = 0.938, TLI = 0.923, RMSEA = 0.069), resulting in the retention of 15 items. The scale demonstrated excellent reliability, with composite reliability coefficients of 0.92 for Respect, 0.82 for Professional Value, 0.93 for Appreciation, and 0.91 for the overall scale. <b>Conclusions</b>: The NPDS is a valid and reliable measure of nurses' professional dignity, aligning with theoretical frameworks. It captures both status-dignity and condition-dignity aspects, encompassing respect, professional competence, and societal appreciation, offering a multidimensional structure for assessing individual domains and overall scores. The NPDS contributes to advancing nursing research and practice by addressing workplace dignity, enhancing job satisfaction, and fostering supportive organizational environments that recognize nurses' professional worth. Future studies are recommended to validate the scale in diverse populations and explore its stability over time through longitudinal research.

In Thailand, where Buddhism is the predominant religion, many positive psychological strengths are fostered among older adults. One notable strength is equanimity, which is characterized by a balanced and accepting response to both positive and negative events. This practice is commonly associated with enhancing the well-being of older individuals. However, the study between equanimity and well-being is scarce. The purpose of the study is to assess equanimity in LTC residents and to determine if it is a significant predictor of the mental well-being of the residents. <b>Methods</b>: The cross-sectional data was obtained from 236 LTC residents in Thailand. Equanimity was measured using the Inner Strength-Based Inventory (iSBI) and mental well-being from the Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS-6). Demographic factors, depression, loneliness, and other inner strengths were also explored as covariates in a logistic-regression analysis. <b>Results</b>: The mean scores for equanimity (Mean = 3.78 ± 1.00) and mental well-being (Mean = 0.720 ± 0.449) were determined.
