The mediation effect model demonstrated a good fit, with all variables accounting for 35% of the variance in safety behavior. The most significant influencing variables identified were perceived organizational support, patient safety competency, satisfaction with information systems, and patient safety training, with total effects of .44, .15, .12, and .12, respectively.Conclusion: The mediation effect model revealed that perceived organizational support has a direct impact on safety behavior and can also influence safety behavior indirectly through patient safety competency. It is crucial to continuously enhance the patient safety competency of registered nurses, cultivate a supportive and compassionate organizational culture, encourage the implementation of safety behavior among nursing personnel, and ultimately ensure patient safety.","PeriodicalId":50265,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Nursing Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"e12638"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychosocial interventions can reduce self-stigma, and mental health nurses may play a crucial role in leading them, but little is known about the modifiable factors that should be targeted. We aimed to investigate the association between self-stigma and self-compassion in patients with schizophrenia from admission to the first follow-up after discharge.Methods: Twenty-three patients with schizophrenia were recruited from an acute psychiatric ward in a private psychiatric hospital in Japan. Participants filled out the Japanese versions of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) scale, the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at the following three time points: 1 month after admission, discharge, and first follow-up after discharge at outpatient care. We used a linear mixed model to examine the association between self-stigma, self-compassion, and the symptoms. In the first model, we used self-stigma as a dependent variable and included time of assessment and positive and negative symptoms as independent variables. In the second model, we added self-compassion to the independent variables.Results: Self-stigma did not change over time. Regarding the linear mixed model, the first model showed that participants with more positive symptoms tended to report worse self-stigma (p = .052). The second model showed a significant association between increasing self-stigma and higher over-identification (p = .001).Conclusions: Our results suggest that interventions focusing on over-identification can reduce self-stigma. Nurse-led intervention programs with a focus on over-identification should be further developed for effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":50265,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Nursing Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"e12648"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11733659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142985319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this systematic review, guided by the Cochrane Handbook, we conducted comprehensive searches across databases such as Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO (Search: April 22, 2024). We used the PRISMA flowchart for data extraction. Three review authors independently assessed trials for inclusion and risk of bias, outcome synthesis for Review Manager, and evidence quality evaluation for GRADE.Results: We included four trials with 318 women and their infants. The trials took place in four countries. Women using a breast pump for nipple stimulation from the early postpartum period had an earlier onset of lactation of 19.57 h than women in standard care (mean difference [MD] -19.57 h, 95% confidential interval [CI] -26.18 to -12.96; participants = 143; studies = two; I2 = 20%; GRADE: moderate certainty of evidence).Conclusion: Evidence supports the use of a breast pump to promote breastfeeding in the early postpartum period after c-section because it is effective in accelerating the timing of onset of lactation.

Few studies have examined the association of loneliness with the type of friendship and number of friends. This study aimed to clarify the loneliness-related factors among older adults by gender focusing on the type of friendship and number of friends.Methods: An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted on 1610 older adults in Japan. The questionnaire included basic characteristics, health status used by the self-administered dementia checklist, type of friendship and number of friends evaluated by the Lubben Social Network Scale, and loneliness evaluated using the University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale. Univariate analysis was performed with loneliness as the dependent variable, and multiple logistic regression analysis was also performed.Results: A total of 1082 older adults were included for analysis. The loneliness rate was 16.8%. Regarding the type of friendship and number of friends, having <3 close friends to call on for help (tangible aid) was most associated with loneliness (men odds ratio [OR]: 2.88, women OR: 3.10). Higher awareness of the participants of subjective symptoms of dementia was proportionally related to loneliness (men, OR: 3.06; women, OR: 2.40). Among women, economic insecurity (OR: 1.68), subjective health (OR: 2.12), having <3 friends with whom they feel easy to talk about private matters (emotional support) were related to loneliness (OR: 2.38).Conclusion: The results suggested that the type of friendship and number of friends, economic insecurity, and health status might be associated with loneliness among older adults.

Data were collected from January 2013 to December 2022. We categorized the independent variables into patient context, structure, and process factors following a modification of Donabedian's model. Hierarchical and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used.Results: The mean length of stay was 26.41 days. Patients were discharged to the following locations: 35.0% continued HHC, 21.0% died, 19% were discharged to their homes, 17.0% were admitted, and 8.0% were sent to other locations. Patients' sex, type of insurance coverage, and primary caregiver as well as the number of nurse visits, HHC admission route, and type of nursing service were predictors of their LOS. Operation history, a high Charlson comorbidity index, the type of insurance coverage, HHC admission route, and certain nursing care services were associated with admission and death as the DD.Conclusions: Process variables (e.g., number of nurse visits, HHC admission route, type of nursing services) have a considerable influence on determining the LOS and DD of HHC patients. This result provides new insights into the use of HHC services and care transitions out of the hospital for patients living in their home, offering evidence to reduce unnecessary readmissions and ensure more effective and efficient HHC.","PeriodicalId":50265,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Nursing Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"e12647"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
