Older adults are a vulnerable group and face a series of problems that are preventable by changing their lifestyle, so it is necessary to understand the healthy lifestyle and its related factors in older adults. This study aimed to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, and subjective vitality in the older adults of Sirjan. This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study included 200 older adults referred to community health centers in Sirjan in 2021. Older adults with inclusion criteria were selected by two-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected by demographic information questionnaire, the healthy lifestyle questionnaire for elderly, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and the subjective vitality scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS20 and descriptive and inferential statistics (Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis, post hoc tests, and Spearman correlation coefficient). A significance level <0.05 was considered. The study results showed that the mean scores of healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, and subjective vitality were 134.42 ± 13.78, 36.34 ± 4.62, and 21.80 ± 2.85, respectively. We observed a direct and significant relationship between healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, and subjective vitality ( ). Considering the relationship between healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, and subjective vitality in older adults, managers and planners can help older adults to promote their healthy lifestyles.

Purpose. To understand nursing practice in seclusion and mechanical restraint events in psychiatric inpatient care. Design and Methods. Non-participant video observation was used to collect data from seclusion and mechanical restraint events. Nursing interventions were analysed using deductive content analysis. Findings. Video recordings (n = 36) showed that nurses were present for 4.1% of the duration of seclusion and mechanical restraint events. The nursing interventions focused on meeting patients’ basic needs, maintaining safety, and interaction. Practice Implications. Nursing must be founded on a thorough assessment of patients’ physical and psychosocial needs and meeting those needs with appropriate nursing interventions.

Objectives. Only a few studies have explored the association between social support and resilience, coping style, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in breast cancer. The current research aimed to identify the latent subtypes of social support in patients with breast cancer (BC) who underwent surgery. Moreover, the mediating role of resilience and the moderating role of coping style were investigated. Methods. This cross-sectional study enrolled 115 patients from Be Resilient to Breast Cancer between September 2021 and April 2022 using the convenience sampling method. Then, the Perceived Social Support Scale, Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory were utilized. A latent profile analysis and a moderated mediation analysis were performed. Results. Three subtypes of social support were identified as low (16.5%), middle (53.0%), and high (30.4%). Social support, resilience, and coping style were found to be positively associated with PTG (r = 0.373, < 0.01; r = 0.427, < 0.01; r = 0.218, < 0.05). Resilience played a significant role in mediating the association between social support and PTG ( < 0.05). However, coping style did not significantly moderate the association between resilience and PTG ( > 0.05). Conclusions. Heterogeneous subgroups of social support have been identified in patients with BC. Resilience significantly mediates the association between social support and PTG. Meanwhile, coping style does not significantly moderate the association between resilience and PTG.
目标。只有少数研究探讨了社会支持与乳腺癌患者恢复力、应对方式和创伤后生长(PTG)之间的关系。目前的研究旨在确定乳腺癌(BC)手术患者的潜在社会支持亚型。此外,还考察了心理弹性的中介作用和应对方式的调节作用。方法。这项横断面研究在2021年9月至2022年4月期间使用方便抽样方法招募了115名来自Be Resilient to Breast Cancer的患者。采用感知社会支持量表、康诺-戴维森弹性量表、医疗应对方式问卷和创伤后成长量表。进行了潜在剖面分析和有调节的中介分析。结果。社会支持分为低(16.5%)、中(53.0%)和高(30.4%)三个亚型。社会支持、心理弹性和应对方式与PTG呈正相关(r = 0.373, P <0.01;r = 0.427, P <0.01;r = 0.218, P <0.05)。心理弹性在社会支持与焦虑焦虑之间的中介作用显著(P <0.05)。然而,应对方式并没有显著调节心理弹性与PTG之间的关系(P >0.05)。结论。在BC患者中发现了不同的社会支持亚群。心理弹性在社会支持与PTG之间具有显著中介作用。同时,应对方式对心理弹性与PTG之间的关系没有显著调节作用。

Purpose. Violence is a factor that is frequently encountered in health systems and causes problems of various sizes. Nursing students who take an active role in health environments and are also inexperienced are also exposed to this workplace violence. Mental health nurses and nursing students practicing in this field aim to improve the quality of patient care while managing violence and aggression. It is thought that the inability of nursing students practicing in the field of mental health to successfully manage violence and demonstrate resilience may affect their clinical performance and reduce the quality of patient care. This study was conducted to determine the psychological resilience levels, caring behaviors, and violence management competencies of nursing students and to reveal the relationship between the variables. Design and Methods. The type of study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample of the study consisted of 452 nursing students who agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study were collected using the personal information form, Adult Resilience Scale, Caring Behaviors Scale-24, and Violence Management Competency Scale for nursing students in practice areas. This study was reported following the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) recommendations. Findings. A statistically significant positive correlation was found among the psychological resilience levels, caring behaviors, and violence management proficiency of the students participating in the study ( ). Practice Implications. It is very important to determine the psychological resilience, care behaviors, and violence management competency levels of nursing students, who are the professionals of the future, to present nursing care from a holistic framework and to increase the quality of the care provided. In this context, it is recommended to determine the psychological resilience, care behaviors, and violence management competency levels of nursing students in their education and training processes.

Objective. Down syndrome (DS) is the most common cause of intellectual disability. Children with DS may have difficulty accessing psychiatric services because their mental health problems are often unrecognized. This study aimed to assess the mental health needs of children with Down syndrome and the elements that may affect their access and referral to psychiatric services. Methods. In this single-center cross-sectional study, we evaluated 72 children with Down syndrome and assessed the factors affecting their use of mental health services by using a questionnaire completed by parents. We compared the clinical symptom profiles of young preschool-aged children with Down syndrome (n = 26) with typical (n = 26), developmental delay (n = 15), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) group (n = 28) to evaluate mental health problems. The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children: Present and Lifetime Version DSM-5 (K-SADS-PL) was administered. Parents completed the child behavior check list for ages 6–18 and 1½-5, depending on the child’s age. Results. Although most patients with Down syndrome (51.4%) had psychiatric symptoms reported by parents at the initial assessment, the most frequent reason (62.5%) for applying to our psychiatric clinic was to submit an application for a medical report. The majority of patients with Down syndrome (56%) had a psychiatric disorder, and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder was the most common diagnosis. Conclusion. Clinicians should not overlook the need for psychiatric assessment, early diagnosis, and collaboration between pediatricians and child psychiatrists, which are crucial during medical evaluation and follow-up of children with Down syndrome.

Purpose. Family caregivers are under a lot of burden during the treatment of patients with COVID-19. This study aimed at determining the effect of education through telenursing on the caregiver burden among family caregivers of COVID-19 patients. Design and Methods. This was a randomized clinical trial that was performed on 66 caregivers of COVID-19 patients discharged from Vasei Hospital, Sabzevar, Iran, during 6 months from March to August 2021. The research units were selected using the convenience sampling method and were randomly allocated to two groups, intervention and control, by using permutation blocks. The training workshop and telenursing were conducted in the experiment group, and the control group received only usual care. Novak and Guest care burden scale and demographic questionnaire were collected online by caregivers before and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 24 and paired t-test, independent t-test, Fisher’s exact test, chi-square tests, and covariance analysis. The significance level of the tests was considered to be 5%. Findings. After training the intervention group, the mean caregiver burden before and one month after the intervention was significantly decreased compared to the control group ( < 0.001). The groups show a significant difference only in terms of educational resources ( = 0.005). The results of analysis of covariance for the total caregiver burden score in post-test indicated that the mean values of the caregiver burden score between the two groups were statistically significant ( < 0.05). Practice Implications. Telenursing has suggested that health care managers put the telenursing process by creating appropriate policies and careful planning.

Aim. The education system has transitioned from traditional learning to e-learning. Earlier, researchers tested the feasibility of e-learning for nursing students. However, whether satisfaction with e-learning affects students’ mental health remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the influence of satisfaction with e-learning on mental health (stress, anxiety, and depression) among undergraduate nursing students. Methods. This study design was cross-sectional, correlational, and descriptive. Data were collected between April and December 2022 from local nursing colleges in 13 regions in Saudi Arabia. A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit undergraduate nursing students. One hundred forty-four students responded to the online questionnaire. Results. Nursing students demonstrated moderate levels of anxiety (M = 9.89 (SD = 4.28)), stress (M = 10.40 (SD = 4.05)), and depression (M = 9.64 (SD = 4.38)). The average satisfaction with e-learning score was 2.79 (SD = 0.85), indicating that students’ satisfaction was low. Strong and positive correlations existed between anxiety and stress (r = 0.787, p <
