This study clarifies the physical, psychological, and social forms of distress in, and care needs of, cardiac surgery patients, including optimal times for supporting them in their post-hospital discharge daily lives.
Methods
Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted. Participants included 12 adults (11 male and one female, mean age = 66.5 years) who had undergone cardiac surgery, experienced intensive care, and received outpatient care at the first post-discharge visit (around 2 ~ 3 weeks after discharge), around 3 months after discharge, and between 3 months and 1 year after discharge. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed based on similarities and differences for codes based on assessment items, and subcategories and categories were generated.
Results
After surgery, patients experienced physical, psychological, and social distress. First, they experienced physical pain shortly after discharge. Moreover, as they recovered at home, a gap between their sense of their recovery and the perceptions of those around them about their recovery often persisted, which led to psychological and social distress. Patients gained a sense of safety through “assurance of physical recovery” and security through “shared subjective distress.”
Conclusions
Post-cardiac surgery patients seek reassurance and safety by sharing experiences owing to daily life distress. Our findings could help provide better support to meet the care needs of such patients.

This study aimed to clarify the concept of older people's connectedness with people in the community within the literature.
Methods
This study was based on Walker and Avant's concept analysis method. We used PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases and included peer-reviewed articles that were published in English between January 2010 and April 2023. After assessing eligibility and applying exclusion criteria, 25 articles were analyzed.
Results
Attributes included sense of belonging to the community achieved through interactions and feeling of togetherness through interrelationships, which consequently led to the maintenance of healthy physical and mental states and independent living, the acquisition of the ability to overcome difficulties, and the creation of a sense of meaning in life through coexistence.
Conclusion
We identified the concept of older people's connectedness with people in the community in a contemporary context. Connectedness is a useful concept to consider in nursing care because it seems to evolve into comprehensive health, including the physical and psychosocial health of older adults.
目的：本研究旨在澄清文献中关于老年人与社区居民联系的概念：本研究采用 Walker 和 Avant 的概念分析方法。我们使用了 PubMed、MEDLINE、CINAHL 和 Web of Science 数据库，收录了 2010 年 1 月至 2023 年 4 月间发表的同行评审过的英文文章。经过资格评估和适用排除标准后，我们对 25 篇文章进行了分析：研究结果表明，老年人对社区的归属感和团结感是通过互动和相互关系实现的，这有助于老年人保持健康的身心状态和独立生活，获得克服困难的能力，并通过共处创造生活的意义：我们在当代背景下确定了老年人与社区居民的联系这一概念。在护理工作中，"联系 "是一个值得考虑的有用概念，因为它似乎可以演变成全面的健康，包括老年人的身体健康和社会心理健康。

To describe national standard care for newborn bathing and its influential factors.
Methods
A global survey was conducted using a web-based questionnaire. The targeted countries were 166 member countries of either the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) or the International Council of Nurses (ICN). An eligible person included someone well informed of midwifery education/training or neonatal care, including newborn bathing, in their country. To examine the factors associated with the standard care for newborn bathing, information on mean annual temperature, precipitation, gross domestic product per capita, and basic water coverage was collected as external factors. Student's t tests and Chi-square tests were used for analysis.
Results
Care standards were identified in 46 countries: seven from Africa, eight from the Americas, 15 from Asia, 14 from Europe, and two from Oceania. In most countries, newborns were bathed with warm water in a tub within 10 min. Bathing frequency, moisturization, and use of soap or cleanser varied by country. There were significant associations between bathing frequency and temperature and between moisturization and precipitation.
Conclusion
The national standard care for newborn bathing in each country was unique. Standard bathing care was associated with the climate. More consideration should be given to the differences in standard care for newborn bathing between countries when interpreting existing studies and conducting future studies on neonatal skin care.

This study aimed to develop a mobile application for improving self-management and to evaluate its effects in adult patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods
This randomized controlled trial was registered with the Korean Clinical Research Information Service Registry (KCT0007267) and conducted at a tertiary hospital. A self-management mobile application (SMA) was developed based on social cognitive theory and the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) model. The SMA includes information about disease management; self-recording of data on diet, exercise, medication, and health behavior; and healthcare providers' support and feedback. Participants aged 19–65 years were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 27) using the SMA for 10 weeks, and the control group (n = 26) receiving usual care. PD-related knowledge and self-efficacy, PD-related health behavior, biomarkers, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were surveyed pretest/posttest and analyzed using SPSS 23.0.
Results
Compared to the controls, the intervention group showed significant improvement in PD-related knowledge and health behavior, albumin, and hemoglobin. HRQoL domains of symptoms/problems of kidney disease and disease impact on daily activity were improved in the intervention group.
Conclusion
The SMA is an effective intervention for enhancing health behaviors as well as improving the HRQoL of patients with PD. Without any limitations on time or location, patients with PD can easily use the SMA to monitor their health conditions, efficiently manage their disease, and perform PD-related behaviors. Nurses can implement high-quality tailored healthcare by using patients’ lifelog data from the SMA.

Aim
To investigate the current status of COVID-19 vaccination in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and its influencing factors.
Methods
In total, 585 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis in Sichuan Province of China from January to March 2022 were selected to complete a questionnaire survey on their knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Independent t tests and logistic multivariate analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of COVID-19 vaccination in hemodialysis patients.
Results
The survey showed that 37.44% of MHD patients had been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. Being married was associated with COVID-19 vaccination in patients with MHD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.969 95% CI 0 .870 ~ 4.453). MHD patients living in county areas have higher rates of COVID-19 vaccination (OR = 0.572 95% CI 0.301 ~ 1.087). Family /relatives/friends who are healthcare workers are associated with COVID-19 vaccination for MHD patients (OR = 1.840 95% CI 1.140 ~ 2.970). Other vaccination history within 5 years was a factor in COVID-19 vaccination for MHD patients (OR = 5.592 95% CI 2.997 ~ 10.434). Attitude (OR = 0.885 95% CI 0.808 ~ 0.905), and practice (OR = 0.756 95% CI 0.697 ~ 0.819) scores on the COVID-19 vaccination knowledge and practice questionnaire were related to the vaccination status of MHD patients.
Conclusions
MHD patients had lower rates of COVID-19 vaccination. Marital status, living environment, whether family/relatives/friends were medical workers, and the score of the COVID-19 vaccine knowledge and practice questionnaire were the factors influencing their vaccination status. Clinical attention should be given to the adverse reactions of COVID-19 vaccination in MHD patients to improve the awareness of primary medical staff on hemodialysis, and families and society should pay more attention to COVID-19 vaccination in MHD patients.

To epidemiologically determine post-void residual urine volume (PVR) and identify the characteristics of “potential” older adult patients with voiding dysfunction in an acute-care hospital.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 614 older adult patients in an acute-care hospital between November 2018 and May 2019. Using portable ultrasound devices, nurses measured the patients' PVR three times after admission. Lower urinary tract symptoms were evaluated using the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score prior to admission.
Results
A total of 107 older adult patients (17.4%) had episodes of abnormal PVR ≥100 mL. An age of over 75 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.899) and feeling of incomplete emptying (aOR: 4.337) were associated with having at least one episode of abnormal PVR, whereas neurological or circulatory diseases (aOR: 3.699) were associated with having two or three episodes.
Conclusions
The results showed a high prevalence of abnormal PVR in older adult patients. Screening for PVR in older adult patients aged over 75 years who experience incomplete emptying or neurological or circulatory diseases may help identify those at risk for voiding dysfunction.

Aim
The aims of the present study are to describe the status of self-management behaviors and illness perception, and explore the relationship between illness perception and self-management behaviors among Chinese diabetic foot patients.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the endocrinology department of a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, China. Data were collected on illness perception, self-management behaviors, and demographic and clinical characteristics over 9 months among 156 subjects. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results
Only 3.2% of participants maintained excellent self-management behaviors. Additionally, the participants perceived diabetic foot as chronic and could be well controlled through treatment. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that illness perception was associated with self-management behaviors.
Conclusions
Patient illness perception is an important factor influencing self-management behaviors. It may be helpful to improve self-management behaviors by tailoring the content of the intervention to fit the patients' illness perceptions.

Although researchers have emphasized the importance of enhancing work engagement in nurses to ensure work-related well-being, the underlying mechanisms of the influencing factors of work engagement remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate whether work-to-family spillover moderates the relationship between nurses' work values and work engagement.
Methods
In total, 2600 nurses from 52 hospitals in the Tohoku region of Japan were recruited, and 1587 nurses participated. The questionnaire included items on demographic characteristics, the Nurses' Work Values Scale, the Japanese version of the Work-life Balance Scale, and the Work Engagement Scale. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression.
Results
The interaction terms of negative work-to-family spillover with extrinsic work values and prestige work values were significantly associated with work engagement. The interaction terms of nurses' work values and positive work-to-family spillovers did not show a significant association.
Conclusions
Nurses who emphasized extrinsic work values and those who did not emphasize prestige work values had the lowest work engagement in settings with high negative work-to-family spillover. To ensure nurses' work-related well-being and engagement, nursing managers could provide support for nurses in tackling work-related negative events, so that these do not carry over to family settings.

Objectives
This study aimed to explore the experiences of senior nursing students working in a pediatric outpatient clinic.
Methods
This study adopted a descriptive phenomenological approach, through semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select 12 senior nursing students in the pediatric outpatient clinic of West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, China, from August 2020 to March 2021. The collected data were analyzed using the Colaizzi method.
Results
Four themes were identified in this study: knowledge and skills (triage, emergency care), communication (courage, communication skills), value re-evaluation (understand of outpatient nurses, judgment of outpatient nurses), and outpatient feelings (satisfaction, empathy, pressure).
Conclusion
Pediatric outpatient internships have a positive impact on senior nursing students. Research has found that constructing a nursing clinical practice pathway in pediatric outpatient clinics helps teachers and students clarify the objectives and content of internships, and the “shadow teaching” model is conducive to nursing students' empathy and thinking. In addition, outpatient internship experience can help students gain communication courage.

This study investigated the effects of differences in oral function and depressive tendencies on nutritional status in older adults requiring support or low-level care.
Methods
In 106 older adult participants residing in nursing/care homes or participating in community-level preventive care activities, the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA®-SF) for nutritional status and oral diadochokinesis (ODK), tongue pressure, and repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST) for oral function, 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Diet-Related Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (DRQOL-SF), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were administered. Basic information, including cognitive function, was evaluated. Hierarchical MNA (dependent variable)-based multiple regression analysis was performed, followed by path analysis using factors with significant associations with MNA scores.
Results
RSST, ODK, tongue pressure, FIM, and DRQOL were positively correlated with MNA scores and GDS was negatively correlated. Hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated associations with tongue pressure, GDS, FIM, DRQOL scores, and gender. Path analysis confirmed significant paths from tongue pressure to MNA, tongue pressure to FIM, and FIM to MNA (P < .001). Significant paths were confirmed from GDS to MNA (P < .01), from DRQOL to MNA (P < .05), and from gender to MNA (P < .01).
Conclusions
Tongue pressure, GDS, FIM, DRQOL scores, and gender were identified as factors that directly affect MNA. Tongue pressure showed the greatest effect and indirectly affected MNA via FIM. These findings emphasize the importance of early detection of low nutritional risk for preventing depression and oral function deterioration, and of evaluation of dietary satisfaction and improvement of quality of life in diets.
