Purpose
The aim of this study was to understand the experience of social alienation in elderly lung cancer patients, to explore its causes, and to propose targeted intervention strategies.
Methods
From July to August 2023, 16 elderly lung cancer patients attending the respiratory department of a tertiary hospital in Changsha City, Hunan Province, were selected for semi-structured interviews using a purposive sampling method. The Colaizzi 7-step method was used to analyze the data.
Results
A total of four themes were distilled: the experience of social alienation in elderly lung cancer patients (pessimistic feelings, inferiority complex, and heavy psychological burden), subjective causes (disease-included shame, avoidant social behavior, and stigmatized labels), objective causes (isolated social states, and reduced amount of socialization), and rehabilitation support.
Conclusion
The causes of social alienation in elderly lung cancer patients include multiple aspects of personal, family, and social support, and symptom management and psychological guidance should be strengthened for this population to construct a hospital–society–family triple-linkage care program to help patients recover.

Purpose
This methodological study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory version 3 (SC-CHDI v3) in a Korean context.
Methods
The SC-CHDI v3 was translated into Korean following a rigorous translation process. Participants were 452 patients who had experienced coronary heart disease (CHD), all recruited from a tertiary hospital in Korea. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test construct validity. Concurrent validity was examined by correlating scores from the Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 with those from the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale. Internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega.
Results
The Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 consists of 21 items, excluding two from the original instrument. The self-care maintenance subscale identified a two-factor structure: “treatment adherence” and “health-promoting behaviors.” The goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ2 = 18.19, p = .110, comparative fit index (CFI) = .97, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = .95, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = .04. The self-care monitoring subscale consisted of a one-dimensional structure (“monitoring behaviors”) and the goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ2 = 19.19, p = .059, CFI = .99, TLI = .99, and SRMR = .04. The self-care management subscales had a two-factor structure of “consulting behaviors” and “problem-solving behaviors.” The goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ2 = 16.44, p = .037, CFI = .99, TLI = .98, and SRMR = .03. Scores from the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale showed a positive correlation with the Korean version of SC-CHDI v3 subscales. Reliability estimates were ≥ .80 for all subscales except for the self-care maintenance subscale.
Conclusions
The Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 consists of 21 items in 3 subscales and is a valid and reliable instrument. Therefore, healthcare providers can effectively utilize it to assess the self-care levels of patients with CHD.

Adequate medical knowledge and skills are fundamentals for nurse prescribing authority development. This study will explore the potential for developing nurse prescribing training in Iran, where nurses currently lack prescribing authority despite their strong academic nursing education.
Methods
This is a study with two phases. At first, in a conventional qualitative content analysis method, with purposive and snowball sampling, from June 2021 to March 2023, 20 participants, including 16 nurses in different clinical, managerial, educational, and policy-making settings, three physicians, and one clinical pharmacist were interviewed. Unstructured interviews were conducted face-to-face or virtually as the situation required during the pandemic period due to Coronavirus disease, 2019 (COVID-19). Qualitative content analysis as developed by Elo and Kyngäs in 2008 was used for data analysis. In the second comparative analysis phase, four masters of science and one doctor of nursing curricula analyzed in the existence of the nurse prescribing prerequisite courses and these five curricula and two potential masters of science in community health and critical care nursing curricula were compared with John Hopkins University curricula.
Results
In the qualitative phase, two themes emerged: nursing education challenges and the potential for nurse prescribing training development. These were further broken down into four subthemes: inadequate nurses' knowledge in prerequisite nurse prescribing courses, unprepared educational infrastructure, treatment sector potentials, and educational potentials, with a total of 12 concepts identified. During the comparative phase, it was found that none of the nursing curricula had adequate prerequisite courses for nurse prescribing. However, the Community Health and Critical Care nursing curricula showed potential for developing nurse prescribing training.
Conclusions
In the nursing education system, there are some challenges and potentials for prescribing training, and the community health and critical care nursing curricula have the potential capacity to prepare the graduated nurses to prescribe. It needs educational and managerial policies. More developmental research and pilot studies are recommended.

Purpose
This study aimed to explore the potential categories of parenting sense of competence and to analyze the influence of rumination and dyadic coping on the potential categories of parenting sense of competence.
Methods
A total of 199 postpartum women who met the criteria were surveyed from a tertiary grade-A hospital in Shanxi (China) from May 2023 to August 2023. The instruments included the general demographic characteristics, Chinese version of parenting sense of competence scale, Chinese event related rumination inventory, and Chinese version of dyadic coping inventory. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to classify the parenting sense of competence in postpartum women, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors.
Results
The characteristics of parenting sense of competence in postpartum women can be divided into two potential categories, namely, easy-to-satisfy group (39.3%) and strict-demand group (60.7%). Logistic regression analysis showed that years of marriage, place of residence, deliberate rumination, and dyadic coping were the influencing factors of the potential categories of parenting sense of competence in postpartum women (p < .05).
Conclusions
Through Latent profile analysis (LPA) analysis, it was found that postpartum women's parenting sense of competence exhibits different characteristics. Clinical workers should identify the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories of women and adopt targeted intervention strategies to promote the level of parenting sense of competence.

Purpose
The incidence of cancer during pregnancy is increasing, presenting several challenges to the treatment of cancer in pregnant women. However, research focusing on the lived experiences of pregnant women with cancer in South Korea is limited. This study aimed to explore and describe the day-to-day lived experiences of women diagnosed with or treated for cancer during pregnancy and their husbands.
Methods
The study employed a qualitative descriptive design and utilized purposive sampling to recruit participants. The participants comprised six women living in Korea diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy and one husband of a female participant. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, audiotaped, and transcribed. Five of the participants agreed to a second interview, resulting in a total of 12 individual interviews. A thematic analysis was then performed. The participants' ages ranged from 31 to 40 years, and their diagnoses during pregnancy were either breast or thyroid cancer.
Results
Four main themes were identified: (1) Participants faced various heart-breaking difficulties maintaining their pregnancies throughout cancer treatment; (2) Pregnant women with cancer experienced complex but responsible feelings toward their children; (3) Patients with cancer also fulfilled their roles as parents even with their own diseases; and (4) Family support had a significant impact on the pregnant women to overcome the path.
Conclusions
These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the lived experiences of being diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy. A recommended strategy is to develop a nursing education program for pregnant women with cancer to provide necessary information and support, and to help them cope positively with their situation.

Purpose
To investigate the effects of honey-based oral care on the oral health of patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation.
Methods
In this randomized controlled trial, 44 stroke patients from a tertiary hospital’s rehabilitation ward were assigned to receive either honey-based oral care or normal saline, with treatments administered twice daily for 2 weeks. The study, conducted from November 2021 to August 2022, employed a double-blind method, blinding both participants and evaluators to treatment allocations. The key outcomes measured included oral status, dental plaque index (DPI), and xerostomia. The final analysis included 13 patients in the experimental group and 16 in the control group.
Results
The intervention significantly changed the oral status, DPI, and xerostomia between the groups. The experimental group showed significantly improved oral status (Z = −4.63, p < .001), DPI (Z = −4.58, p < .001), and xerostomia (t = −6.33, p < .001) compared with the control group. The experimental group showed significant improvements in oral status (Z = −3.27, p = .001), DPI (Z = −3.19, p = .001), and xerostomia (t = 7.37, p < .001) after the intervention, confirming the efficacy of honey-based oral care.
Conclusions
Honey-based oral care effectively improves oral status and xerostomia, and reduces DPI in patients with stroke.

This study aims to systematically review the illness experience of adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The JBI qualitative systematic review method was used and meta-aggregate analysis of 14 qualitative studies was performed. Qualitative studies on the disease experience of adolescent patients with T1DM were obtained from Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Wanfang, CNKI, and VIP, and the search period was from 1995 to 2024. The qualitative research quality evaluation tool of JBI the Evidence-based Health Care Center in Australia was used to evaluate the analysis results. Thirty-one results were distilled and categorized into 7 themes and then synthesized into 3 overarching findings: (1) experiencing psychological distress and developing coping mechanisms following adjustment; (2) acknowledging self-management shortcomings and actively seeking support; and (3) overcoming challenges and growing through experiences. The findings illuminate that adolescents with T1DM often experience negative physical and emotional challenges during their illness. Transitioning from dependency to independence poses numerous obstacles that can be overcome by improving both internal and external support, cultivating self-management skills, strengthening coping mechanisms, and achieving control over the disease while fostering personal growth.

Purpose
This study aimed to analyze the latent class of suicide-related behaviors among Korean adolescents and identify related factors.
Methods
This study used 2021 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey data and analyzed 7300 participants using latent class analysis.
Results
Suicide-related behaviors were categorized into four classes: suicide ideation only (Class 1), suicide plan without ideation or attempt (Class 2), suicide attempt with ideation and plan (Class 3), and suicide attempt without ideation or plan (Class 4). Sexual intercourse experience, habitual drug use experience, and hospital treatment experience due to violence, which were set as risky behavior-related variables, were found to be factors influencing Class 3. However, these variables were not statistically significant factors affecting those belonging to Class 2 and Class 4.
Conclusion
The findings emphasize the necessity of understanding the variances in suicide-related behaviors among adolescents to tailor interventions effectively. Adolescents who plan and attempt suicide despite having low levels of suicidal ideation exhibited high levels of stress and a tendency for sadness and despair compared to the suicide attempt with the ideation and plan group. These insights underscore the importance of addressing psycho-emotional factors and developing intervention strategies that cater specifically to the nuanced needs of each group to prevent potential suicide attempts.

Purpose
This study compared COVID-19 vaccination intentions in those with and without chronic diseases (CDs and non-CDs) in South Korea. We hypothesized that the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination intentions would differ between CDs and non-CDs in South Korea.
Methods
Using survey data collected through a Korean online panel in June 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional secondary data analysis. Of the 2292 participants, 411 had at least one chronic disease. To construct a comparable dataset, we selected non-CDs via a 1:1 case-control matching for age and gender. We then utilized a multivariable binary logistic regression model to explore the factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccination intentions in CDs and non-CDs.
Results
All told, over 75% of participants in both groups indicated that they intended to vaccinate against COVID-19. In both groups, those who mistrusted general vaccine benefits reported significantly lower COVID-19 vaccination intentions. Regarding factors associated with vaccination intentions, CDs identified anxiety regarding coronavirus and exposure to COVID-19 vaccination promotions at the community level, while non-CDs highlighted hesitancy regarding vaccines and confidence in government/health services.
Conclusion
Improving vaccination acceptance will require the development and implementation of tailored approaches for CDs and non-CDs and efforts to minimize general vaccine mistrust.
