It is crucial to conduct comprehensive assessments of patients with heart failure, thereby providing personalized care. The purpose of this study was to translate, adapt, and validate the Needs Assessment Questionnaire for people with heart failure in Mainland China and to evaluate its reliability and validity within a population of people with heart failure. A cohort of 246 individuals diagnosed with heart failure was recruited from two medical facilities in China during the period from January 2023 to June 2023. The scale was translated into Chinese using the forward post-translation technique, followed by an evaluation of its reliability and validity. Descriptive statistics, content validity assessment, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were utilized for validation. Internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability assessments were conducted to assess overall reliability. The Chinese version of the Heart Failure Needs Assessment Questionnaire consists of 4 dimensions and 30 items. The Cronbach α coefficient of the overall scale was 0.90. In the validation factor analysis, the model fit results were χ²/df = 2.259, CFI = 0.933, IFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.927, RMSEA = 0.072, all of which fell within acceptable ranges.

This randomized controlled study was conducted with 60 pregnant women (30 in each group) admitted to the delivery room of a hospital. The data were collected by personal information form, visual comparison scale-pain, visual comparison scale-anxiety, and perception of birth scale. While there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of pre-intervention pain measurement in the active and transition phases, post-intervention pain measurement in the active and transition phases in the intervention group was found to be significantly lower than the control group. Anxiety measurement was also found to be significantly lower in the intervention group in the active and transition phases than in the control group after the intervention. It was determined that in the intervention group, anxiety measurements tended to decrease after the intervention compared to the pre-intervention period, while in the control group, anxiety measurements tended to increase continuously in the active and transition phases. Perceptions of birth in the postpartum period were similar. The use of virtual reality during childbirth reduces pain and anxiety at birth but does not affect the perception of birth. The use of virtual reality interventions as a nonpharmacological method can be included in childbirth preparation training.

The related decision-making process is complicated, and insufficient support can lead to decisional conflict. The aim of this qualitative systematic review was to identify and integrate qualitative evidence regarding the fertility decision-making process of women of reproductive age undergoing treatment for cancer. A qualitative systematic review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology. Eight electronic databases were searched from inception to June 2023 for articles describing qualitative studies of the fertility decision-making process of women of reproductive age with cancer. Only original, full-text literature was examined, no limitation was placed on the publication language. Finally, 18 studies were included in a thematic analysis. We identified three analytical themes, namely \"Perceived changes in fertility,\" \"Influential participants in the decision-making process\" and \"Hard fertility decision-making processes of women,\" and nine descriptive themes that described the three analytical themes in detail. The results of qualitative synthesis emphasized that for women of reproductive age with cancer, fertility decision-making is a complex and dynamic process. These patients had experienced decisional conflict. Decision support from health care professionals was considered to be essential, and the use of patient decision aids in clinical settings was recommended. The synthesis results clarify women's fertility decision-making process, decision needs and the influencing factors, which offer evidence to guide the development of applicable patient decision aid tools to provide high-quality fertility services to women.

However, the health outcomes of workplace violence among female nurses have been mostly studied in isolation from their history of lifetime violence experiences. Although social and organizational factors shape workplace violence, our understanding of its effects on female nurses' health is limited in different cultural contexts. This study examined how workplace violence affects the physical and mental health and the frequency of medication intake and sick leave of nurses employed in the Saudi healthcare system while controlling for the effect of lifetime violence experiences. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 340 female nurses working in tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Among the female nurses, 67.6% had experienced at least one act of workplace violence during the last 12 months. The highest level of workplace violence was recorded in nurses employed in psychiatric units.

A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was conducted. Participants were recruited from the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from January 2023 to May 2023. Quantitative data were collected using the Constant-Murley Shoulder Joint Function Score, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. A total of 134 patients were recruited (120 participants for questionnaire survey, 14 participants for interview). Spearman's correlations were performed to initially identify the influencing factors of shoulder joint function. Qualitative data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 14 patients. To understand patients' experiences during the process of shoulder joint recovery, interpretative phenomenological analysis was employed. The triangulation was conducted using convergence coding matrix. Three themes and seven sub-themes were identified, including capability (postoperative pain management, self-management of T2DM), opportunity (medical supports, perceived social and family supports, demands of economic supports), and motivation (sense of benefits, psychological motivation). The recovery of shoulder joint function in patients with T2DM following ARCR is influenced by factors related to capability, opportunity, and motivation. Healthcare providers should enhance the timing and content of educational interventions and provide intensive psychological support to facilitate successful behavior change and optimize shoulder joint recovery in this patient population. The findings of this study can inform the development of an optimized care model for patients with T2DM following ARCR, empowering them to take control of their condition. Considering the long-term challenges of rehabilitation, which present physical and psychological difficulties for patients, it is essential to design interventions strategies that address physiological decline and pain management.</p>","PeriodicalId":54492,"journal":{"name":"Research in Nursing & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815042","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}

Sexual function was not associated with sexual satisfaction.
