Spirituality in Managing Perceived Stress and Promoting Self-Care: A Descriptive Study on Nursing Students in Spain.

The relationship between spirituality, perceived stress, and self-care was examined in a sample of 515 nursing students in Spain. Using the perceived stress scale (PSS), the professional self-care scale (PSCS), and the spirituality questionnaire (MiLS-sp/sf), the findings indicated that higher spirituality, particularly through inner peace and faith, was linked to reduced stress and enhanced self-care across physical, inner, and social dimensions. However, the inner self-care dimension was the least developed, suggesting that essential emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs were neglected.

Validation of Spanish Version of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS-Sp) in Nursing Professionals.

Aim: To examine the reliability and construct validity of the Spanish adaptation of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) within the nursing professionals' context.

Design: Observational and descriptive cross-sectional study.

Methods: The sample consisted of N = 325 nursing professionals from various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics and community healthcare centres.

Expression, regulation and physiological roles of the five Rsm proteins in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.

Proteins belonging to the RsmA (regulator of secondary metabolism)/CsrA (carbon storage regulator) family are small RNA-binding proteins that play crucial roles post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression in many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Although most of the bacteria studied have a single RsmA/CsrA gene, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000 encodes five Rsm proteins: RsmA/CsrA2, RsmC/CsrA1, RsmD/CsrA4, RsmE/CsrA3, and RsmH/CsrA5.

Using LEGO® Serious Play for students' Critical-Reflective Reasoning development in the construction of the nursing metaparadigm.

Introduction: In a nursing degree critical reasoning competency includes reasoning both inside and outside the clinical setting. One of the major challenges for nursing students is learning concepts at a high abstract level. In this sense, the LEGO® Serious Play method has the potential to improve thinking skills.
