This hospital-based, mentorship account presents case studies illustrating mentorship examples of engagement in the research process and shares anecdotes of nurses' mastery of nursing research studies. Evidence and mentorship principles are oriented in the context of caritas processes. The mentorship affiliation benefits mentees' progress in employing research methods, building a stronger nursing research program, and advancing a healthcare system's nursing research agenda. It highlights mentees' professional journeys and development as a local and regional research committee chair, research study coinvestigator, principal investigator, and manuscript author.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"72 1","pages":"100 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76034406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the psychometric properties, a four-factor questionnaire comprised the TCCNI-R. Only 590 of 1,322 online questionnaire responses by nurses in 11 general hospitals in Chugoku-Shikoku, Japan, were analyzed and interpreted. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis via SEM justified construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient established reliability. Goodness of fit was rejected; however fit index value was accepted. Root mean square of error approximation showed reasonable approximation error. The TCCNI-R showed content validity and reliability in measuring technological competency as expression of caring in nursing.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"55 1","pages":"30 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73035154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caring as incubating, messaging, alleviating, and enabling offers a new understanding of doula care as tailored continuous caring to benefit the birth experience of both parents. This core of caring might also provide a mutual basis for collaboration between voluntary doula care and professional midwifery care.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"7 1","pages":"60 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88457083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the predominant literature emanates from organizational management and industry describing servant leadership as a theory, model, philosophy, or leadership style, less attention has focused on servant leadership in academia, and most notably in nursing. The purpose of this analysis is to clarify the concept of servant leadership and to provide further delineation of this highly relevant, but elusive concept in nursing. Findings of this concept analysis identify a linkage among servant leadership characteristics, caring theories, and the profession of nursing.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"65 1","pages":"22 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82188851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
