Purpose
To develop a questionnaire to measure nurses' perceived knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to motor function rehabilitation in stroke patients with hemiplegia (MFRSPH-PKAP-Q), and to evaluate its reliability and validity.
Methods
This study was conducted in four phases: (1) creating a pool of potential items; (2) developing the preliminary scale using a Delphi survey; (3) conducting item reduction to refine the scale; and (4) testing the validity and reliability of the final scale.
Results
The questionnaire comprises 45 items. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a three-factor model, explaining 55.8% of the variance, which encompassed perceived knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) affirmed the suitability of this three-factor model for the data. Additionally, assessments of content validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity all yielded favorable results. The Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability of the entire questionnaire were .94, .91, and .92, respectively.
Conclusions
The MFRSPH-PKAP-Q has been demonstrated to be both valid and reliable, and is therefore recommended for use in clinical practice.

The goal of this study is to investigate the actor and partner effects of perceived social support and depression in older adults with disabilities and their family caregivers and to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the actor and cross-partner effects of perceived social support on depression.
Methods
We selected 425 pairs of older adults with disabilities and their family caregiver. We used the Resilience Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to evaluate them. Dyadic data were analyzed by actor–partner interdependence mediation model, we analyzed how perceived social support and depression affected the relationship between older adults with disabilities and their family caregivers at individual and dyadic levels. The mediation function of resilience between perceived social support and depression was also further examined. Several sensitivity analyses were conducted to validate the stability of the results.
Results
The perceived social support of the caregivers had an actor effect on their depression, while the actor–actor indirect effect of resilience between the perceived social support and depressive symptoms in older adults with disabilities and their caregivers was significant. The indirect effect of resilience on perceived social support and depression in disabled elders and caregivers had significant cross-partner effects.
Conclusion
Healthcare personnel should regard older adults with disabilities and family caregivers as a community, focusing on enhancing social support for both parties in a timely manner. They should develop family-oriented intervention programs to enhance psychological resilience among family members and emphasize dyadic nursing care services and plans to alleviate depression and effectively enhance the quality of life for both parties.

Purpose
This study aims to explore the relationships between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-related breastfeeding knowledge, GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs, and breastfeeding intention. It investigates the factors influencing breastfeeding intention among pregnant women in Nepal.
Methods
A total of 229 healthy pregnant women visiting an antenatal clinic in Nepal participated in this study between January and March, 2023. They completed a questionnaire that assessed their GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge, GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs, and breastfeeding intention. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance including Scheffé’s post hoc test, and logistic regression analysis.
Results
Of the participants, 86.9% (n = 199) indicated positive breastfeeding intention, even with a relatively low level of GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge. Logistic regression analysis of the factors influencing breastfeeding intention yielded a significant model (χ2 = 38.80, p < .001) with significant variables; GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge [odds ratio (OR): 1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.40], GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15), and immediate family experience with diabetes mellitus (OR: 5.38, 95% CI: 1.98–14.62).
Conclusion
Nurses should lead interventions to educate pregnant women about the benefits of breastfeeding that can help in mitigating the long-term effects of GDM and reinforce health beliefs through positive experiences. This study provides information demonstrating the need for nurse-led improvements in Nepal's GDM management system, from screening to comprehensive care.

Purpose
It is important to examine the attitudes of future nurses toward adopting a sustainability approach in their nursing practice. This study aimed to test the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey 2 psychometrically.
Methods
The methodological, descriptive study was conducted in November 2019 on nursing students (n = 286) at a university in Türkiye. Data were analyzed for reliability and validity tests. Statistics of the linguistic content validity analysis and exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis were performed to determine the scale's validity. Cronbach Alpha coefficient, floor and ceiling impacts, Tukey's test, and Hotelling's T2 test, test-retest reliability were determined for the scale's reliability.
Results
The content validity index of the scale, which consists of five items and one dimension, is .98. Factor loadings were above .30, all the fit indices were >.95, χ2/df was 1.58, and the root means square error of approximation was .045. Cronbach's α was .75. The floor and ceiling impacts were 0.0% and 3.1%. In Tukey's test, F was 3.43 and p was .064. In Hotelling's T2 test, Hotelling's T2 was 265.59 and F was 65.68 (p < .001). Item-total correlation coefficients were between .37 and .63. The test-retest correlation coefficient was .39.
Conclusion
The scale is a valid and reliable instrument in the Turkish language. It is advised to use the scale in determining attitudes towards sustainability among nursing students, evaluating the effectiveness of training, and taking student opinions in curriculum revisions. Also, the study allowed cross-country comparisons, and it is thought that it can guide studies on the inclusion of sustainability principles in nursing practices.

Purpose
This study aims to identify factors predicting mortality, including nutritional status, in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit and to explore the implications of accurate early nutritional assessment.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study performed a secondary analysis of data from 357 patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea, from 2019 to 2022. The target patients were classified into high-risk and low-risk groups through the Nurses' nutritional assessment (NNA) using three questions and into normal, mild, moderate, and severe risk groups using the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) including serum albumin. Kaplan–Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed.
Results
The patients’ average age was 65.6 ± 14.9 years and 68.1% were men. During the study period, 19.6% (n = 70) of the patients died. Mortality differed significantly according to the groups of NNA and NRI (log-rank, p < .001). However, no correlation was found between the NNA and NRI results (χ2 = 3.24, p = .362). High-risk group by NNA [hazard ratio (HR: 3.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.86–5.95, p < .001)] and severe risk group by NRI (HR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.07–6.13, p = .035), presence of diabetes (HR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.07–3.36, p = .030), and low mean arterial pressure (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96–0.99, p = .004) were significant predictors.
Conclusion
Poor nutritional status, along with the presence of diabetes and lower mean arterial pressure, predicted mortality in patients with AHF admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Nurses need to integrate objective data, such as serum albumin, into the initial nutritional assessment of patients admitted to the intensive care unit, and provide continuous attention and monitoring for patients with poor nutrition.
目的：本研究旨在确定包括营养状况在内的预测心脏病重症监护病房AHF患者死亡率的因素，并探讨准确的早期营养评估的意义。方法：这项回顾性队列研究对2019年至2022年在韩国首尔一家三级医院住院的357名患者的数据进行了二次分析。通过护士营养评估（NNA）采用3个问题将目标患者分为高危和低危组，通过包括血清白蛋白在内的营养风险指数（NRI）分为正常、轻度、中度和重度风险组。Kaplan-Meier生存和Cox比例风险回归分析。结果：患者平均年龄65.6±14.9岁，男性占68.1%。在研究期间，19.6% （n=70）的患者死亡。NNA组和NRI组死亡率差异有统计学意义（log-rank, p < 0.001）。然而，NNA和NRI结果之间没有相关性（χ2=3.24, p = .362）。NNA高危组（HR 3.32, 95% CI 1.86-5.95, p < 0.001）、NRI重度危组（HR 2.56, 95% CI 1.07-6.13, p = 0.035）、是否存在糖尿病（HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.07-3.36, p = 0.030）和低平均动脉压（HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96 - 0.99, p = 0.004）是显著的预测因子。结论：营养不良、糖尿病和较低的平均动脉压预示着入住心脏重症监护病房的AHF患者的死亡率。护士需要将血清白蛋白等客观数据纳入重症监护病房入院患者的初始营养评估中，并对营养不良的患者进行持续关注和监测。

Purpose
The Supportive Care Needs Survey-Short Form 34 (SCNS-SF34) measures the perceived care needs of patients with cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the SCNS-SF34 (i.e., the SCNS-SF34-K).
Methods
The SCNS-SF34 was translated into Korean following a World Health Organization translation guideline. We recruited 208 patients with cancer via an online survey in 2022. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and Amos 23.0, and the construct validity, known-group validity, and internal consistency were tested.
Results
The SCNS-SF34-K validated the final five-factor model via confirmatory factor analysis. The SCNS-SF34-K's subscales demonstrated discriminant and convergent validity. In addition, known-group validity was confirmed using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status Scale (t = −7.12), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (t = −7.61), and Distress Thermometer (t = −9.22). McDonald's Omega coefficient for the total scale was .96, and each sub-domain ranged from .88 to .95.
Conclusion
This research provides initial findings on the validity and reliability of the SCNS-SF34-K, a tool for measuring the supportive care needs of Korean cancer patients. The SCNS-SF34-K demonstrates potential for evaluating various aspects of patient needs and may be valuable for both clinical oncology practice and research in Korea.

Purpose
Job satisfaction among blood center nurses is suboptimal due to challenging working conditions, characterized by unexpected tasks resulting from sudden schedule changes and frequent weekend shifts. This study aimed to quantitatively examine the relationships among job stress, psychological capital, person–job fit, job crafting, and job satisfaction, based on the job crafting model. Additionally, qualitative data were collected through mixed methods to gain a better understanding of the experiences related to job satisfaction among blood center nurses.
Methods
A convergent mixed methods research design was employed to simultaneously collect quantitative and qualitative data and to integrate the findings from both analyses. A total of 127 full-time nurses who had completed at least a three-month probationary period at blood centers participated in the study. Participants were recruited from three blood centers operated by the Korean Red Cross in three metropolitan cities. The survey included open-ended qualitative questions and five quantitative measures covering job satisfaction, job stress, psychological capital, person–job fit, and job crafting. The data collection occurred from September to October 2022.
Results
Regression analysis identified key factors influencing job satisfaction as person–job fit, job stress, psychological capital, and marital status, explaining 80% of the variance. Qualitative analysis of the open-ended responses showed five main themes: “deriving fulfillment from work,” “challenges encountered at work,” “driving forces behind positive outcomes,” “congruence between individual’s traits and job requirements,” and “efforts to perform meaningful work.”
Conclusions
The findings suggest the need for developing an employee assistance program and educational initiatives aimed at enhancing job satisfaction among blood center nurses. These should focus on improving person–job fit, managing stress, aiding with emotional labor, and bolstering psychological capital.

The survey included open-ended qualitative questions and five quantitative measures covering job satisfaction, job stress, psychological capital, person–job fit, and job crafting. The data collection occurred from September to October 2022.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Regression analysis identified key factors influencing job satisfaction as person–job fit, job stress, psychological capital, and marital status, explaining 80% of the variance. Qualitative analysis of the open-ended responses showed five main themes: “deriving fulfillment from work,” “challenges encountered at work,” “driving forces behind positive outcomes,” “congruence between individual’s traits and job requirements,” and “efforts to perform meaningful work.”</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The findings suggest the need for developing an employee assistance program and educational initiatives aimed at enhancing job satisfaction among blood center nurses.
