Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on adapting the PHMSE-PL scale to evaluate preventive health management self-efficacy related to premature labor in Turkish women of reproductive age.
- The sample included 351 women aged 19 to 49, excluding those in healthcare roles or with a history of preterm birth, and the scale was assessed for validity and reliability across various metrics.
- Results showed strong validity and reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.98 and a test-retest correlation of 0.99, indicating the scale is effective for its intended purpose in the Turkish context.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between innovativeness and attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) among 500 nursing and midwifery students in Türkiye.
- Students showed inadequate innovativeness scores (59.47 ± 7.23) while exhibiting a positive overall attitude toward AI (positive scores: 42.67 ± 7.10).
- A significant positive correlation exists between students' innovativeness and their attitudes toward AI, indicating that enhancing innovativeness could improve these attitudes, which currently need development.
