The control group received usual care, while the intervention group received four consecutive cycles of chemotherapy along with cosmetic makeup intervention on top of usual care. The intervention was carried out on the first day after the completion of each chemotherapy cycle. Assessments were made before the first intervention and 1 month after the fourth intervention using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Scale of Body Imagery. Results: After four cycles of intervention, significant differences emerged between the intervention and control groups regarding anxiety, depression, and body imagery. Additionally, within the intervention group, notable changes in these aspects were observed over time. Conclusion: The results showed that cosmetic interventions can effectively reduce the level of anxiety and depression of breast cancer patients receiving postoperative chemotherapy and effectively improve the body imagery of patients.","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142332024","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}

Our theoretical framework included GP treatment, severity of neonatal illness (severity), coparenting pattern, and parent attention to infant weight gain (weight gain). Method: From transcribed interviews with 25 parent dyads at infant age 2 and 6 months, data relevant to coparenting were categorized for entry into a matrix table. These categories included family circumstances; infant health status, feeding, and sleeping; and how the parents worked in relation to each other for caregiving, the caregiving issues they were working on, and their caregiving goals. Results: The tabled data showed two coparenting patterns, collaborative and cooperative, with very little change from 2 to 6 months, and 6-month weight gain mention. We used Bayesian sensitivity network analysis to examine, at 6 months, GP effect in contrast to usual care (control group) effect and the effect of higher or lower severity on coparenting pattern and weight gain. The treatment group had greater percentage of collaborative coparenting pattern with higher severity. In contrast, the control group showed the percentage of dyads with a collaborative coparenting pattern was similar for higher and lower severity. Weight gain mention was higher with higher severity. Conclusion: Further coparenting pattern identification and study replication with a larger, diversified sample is planned.","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142300329","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}

This article explores U.S. nurses' experiences caring for unvaccinated COVID-19 patients and the resulting impacts using Swanson's Theory of Caring (STC). Methods: Data were gathered through an online survey collecting nurses' demographics, mental health screening data, and an open-ended question asking about a personal experience providing care to an unvaccinated COVID-19 patient. Researchers analyzed 128 responses using content analysis. STC served as the analytical framework. Results: Nurses' experiences were summarized into two main themes and four subthemes: (a) anger, frustration, fatigue, and resentment (24.2%) and (b) feeling a professional commitment to a nurse's duty (60.9%). Within the professional commitment theme, subthemes include the following: (a) patients can make an autonomous decision (15.6%); (b) feeling concerned for the patient (6.3%); (c) wanting to take action, educate, and vaccinate (29.7%); and (d) feeling moral conflict (9.3%). Results aligned with STC's five caring actions: knowing, doing for, being with, enabling, and maintaining belief. Implications for Practice: Nurses experienced emotional challenges caring for the unvaccinated during the pandemic resulting in psychological sequelae, including compassion fatigue and moral distress, in addition to positive outcomes of resilience and enhanced coping mechanisms. This study underscores the multifaceted nature of nurses' experiences and the emotional, ethical, and professional challenges they encountered when caring for unvaccinated COVID-19 patients. Nurse leaders should address these issues to enhance nurses' wellbeing and reduce compassion fatigue and dissatisfaction.","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142300306","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}

Protecting patient privacy, which is accepted as a patient's right, is one of the responsibilities of nurses. Few studies on patient privacy among nurses have used social cognitive approaches. The purpose of this study is to examine nurses' intentions to protect patient privacy using the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Methods: This is a cross-sectional and correlational design study. The study sample consisted of 202 nurses working in the emergency departments, operating rooms, inpatient wards, and intensive care units of the hospitals. Research data were collected using a face-to-face questionnaire that included TPB components on patient privacy. The proposed research model was tested using structural equation modeling. Results: Attitude (β = .238, p < .05), subjective norm (β = .295, p < .05), and moral norm (β = .337, p < .05) toward patient privacy are positive predictors of intention. The moral norm is the most effective component of intention. Perceived behavioral control is not a significant predictor of intention (β = .049, p > .05). Implications for Practice: Norms that create a sense of moral obligation in nurses are a significant determinant in increasing the intention to protect patient privacy. Interventions that improve moral norms, attitudes, and subjective norms will increase the intention to protect privacy. Nurse managers should provide nurses with adequate skills, resources, and an appropriate work environment to ensure perceived behavioral control regarding patient privacy.","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142300330","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}

The current study examined the relationship between traumatic life events, hope, coherence, and successful aging in Black and White older adults with at least one chronic health condition, and the influence of life events on gerotranscendence. Methods: Fifty older adults from two senior centers participated. Participants completed the Successful Aging Inventory, Life Events Checklist, Herth Hope Index, and Sense of Coherence Scale. Results: Significant correlations were found between successful aging and gerotranscendence (r = .290; p = .048) and hope (r = .585; p = <.001). Simple linear regression found that Successful Aging Index (SAI) scores significantly predicted gerotranscendence (R2 = .10, F(1, 46) = 5.157, p = .028) and Herth Hope Index scores (R2 = .36, F(1, 46) = 25.850, p <.001).

During the pandemic, public health measures and the fear of getting COVID have reshaped grieving for families, adding emotional layers and complexities. This was further compounded by bereavement challenges, including changes to gatherings that have altered social norms and limited families in honoring loved ones, causing further distressing. Purpose: To elucidate experiences of families who had a hospitalized terminally ill family member during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify themes from the existing literature that can inform clinical practice related to how healthcare providers care for individuals and their families during palliative care going forward. Methods: This scoping review delved into qualitative studies sourced from peer-reviewed literature found in PubMed, CINAHL, and MEDLINE databases. Results: A thorough search yielded 298 articles, of which 10 were included in the present review. Four themes were identified: the importance of communication, the challenges and effects of separation from loved ones, changed rituals and bereavement, and access to services and support. Implications for Practice: The restrictions and fear imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered patient and family care dynamics, disrupting customary face-to-face visits and increasing emotional strain for families, while highlighting the necessity for personalized end-of-life care. Integrating supportive frameworks and utilizing telehealth platforms or hybrid care models will be crucial in addressing the complexities of grief and loss experienced by patients, families, and caregivers during and after the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141996914","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}

Purpose: This concept analysis sought to explore the concept of Prophetic Medicine by delineating its attributes, antecedents, and consequences in order to augment healthcare providers' comprehension of Prophetic Medicine. It also seeks to enhance interdisciplinary dialogue, thereby enriching the integration of traditional healing modalities in modern medical practices. Methods: Walker and Avant's method was used to conduct the concept analysis by reviewing published literature on the concept. Results: The analysis identified the core attributes of Prophetic Medicine, such as Black Seeds, Dates, Miswak, Wet cupping, and Zamzam water, and explored cultural, spiritual, and practical underpinnings of these practices. Antecedents such as cultural background, spiritual beliefs, basic knowledge, lower cost, perceived safety, efficacy, simple techniques, and dissatisfaction with allopathic therapy were identified. The consequences of these practices include the multifaceted impact of Prophetic Medicine, highlighting the relationship between these traditional practices and health outcomes.
