Effects of internet-based digital health interventions on the physical activity and quality of life of colorectal cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The recent trend of Internet-based digital health interventions has driven researchers to implement them to promote physical activity (PA) and improve patients' health outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the effects of Internet-based digital health interventions on PA and quality of life (QoL) in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors.

Methods: We searched for relevant studies investigating the effects of internet-based digital health interventions published until Dec.

An Exploration of Psychological Resilience among Undergraduate Nursing Students Undertaking an Adult Nursing Virtual Practicum during the Coronavirus Pandemic in Taiwan: A Qualitative Study.

This qualitative study aimed to explore the psychological resilience of undergraduate nursing students partaking in a virtual practicum during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in Taiwan. The virtual practicum, a form of online learning, creates challenges compared to the traditional teaching-learning experience of an actual clinical placement. Exploring how students overcome learning difficulties and build resilience is necessary for a new learning environment or for future online learning.

Effectiveness of the use of concept maps and simulated cases as a teaching-learning strategy in enhancing the learning confidence of baccalaureate nursing students: A qualitative approach.

Background: Didactic lectures and exam-oriented learning can lead to students becoming passive learners who rely on rote memory. This learning style negatively impacts their ability to cultivate the core nursing values and critical thinking.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a concept mapping teaching-learning strategy on undergraduate nursing students' ability to integrate theoretical biosciences knowledge into care practice and on their skills in critical thinking and teamwork.

Exploring the experience of reflective writing among Taiwanese undergraduate nursing students: A qualitative study.

Background: Reflective learning plays an important role in students' professional and personal development. However, some nursing curricula provide insufficient opportunity for students to understand how to reflect and what reflection is.

Purpose: The study aimed to explore baccalaureate nursing students' experiences of reflective writing.

Role transition of newly graduated nurses: a qualitative study.

Background: Newly Graduated Nurses in different socio-cultural contexts confront dissimilar situations and influences on role transfer. It is important to understand how newly graduated nurses reconstruct their own professional concept of clinical nurses.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore how Taiwanese newly graduated nurses perceived their new role and the process through which they transition into the professional role.

Circadian rhythm mediates the relationship between physical activity and quality of life in younger and older cancer survivors.

Increasing evidence suggests that physical activity (PA) improves the quality of life (QoL) of cancer survivors. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the relationship between PA and QoL are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between PA and QoL differs in younger and older cancer survivors and whether circadian rhythm (CR) mediates this relationship.

Measurement of physical activity in cancer survivors: a validity study.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to validate the Taiwanese version of the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE-T) and to assess physical activity in Taiwanese cancer survivors.

Methods: One hundred twenty-seven cancer survivors participated in this study. Instruments consisted of the PASE-T, the Taiwanese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-T), Karnofsky performance status (KPS), and actigraph.

Care needs of older patients in the intensive care units.

Aims: To explore the care needs of older patients in the intensive care units. Background.  As the numbers of older patients admitted to the intensive care units are growing, care quality of critically ill older patients has become an important issue.

Development and psychometric testing of the Cancer Knowledge Scale for Elders.

Aim: To develop the Cancer Knowledge Scale for Elders and test its validity and reliability.

Background: The number of elders suffering from cancer is increasing. To facilitate cancer prevention behaviours among elders, they shall be educated about cancer-related knowledge.
