Predictive Ability of the Pedal Medial Arterial Calcification Score for Major Adverse Limb Events Among Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia.

Background: Pedal medial arterial calcification (pMAC) is a potential predictor of major adverse limb events (MALEs) among patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). This study aims to validate the prognostic value of the pMAC score in predicting major lower-limb amputation (MLLA) and need for redo revascularisation.

Methods: A single-center study involving 196 patients diagnosed with CLTI, reviewed between 2012 and 2022.

Prospective Multi-Center Longitudinal Study to Validate Accuracy of the Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) Score in Predicting Major Acute Limb Events in Patients With Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia Undergoing Endovascular Intervention: The PROMOTE-GLASS Study Protocol.

Introduction: Developed by the Global Vascular Guidelines committee, the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) is an angiographic scoring system used for quantifying infrainguinal disease extent and predicting treatment success with endovascular techniques (EVT). Currently, no other risk prediction model is available for patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing EVT. GLASS' validation and adoption outside academic institutions for research are limited.

Arab nursing students' perception of the emotional experience of patient care: A phenomenological study.

Background: A shared emotional response helps with understanding what other people are feeling and/or thinking; and it is a vital skill in clinical settings. Collectivist communities place more emphasis on the emotional components of their feelings in comparison to the cognitive aspects of their emotions.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the emotions experienced by students at their first clinical placement.

Nurses experience of caring for patients with COVID-19: A phenomenological study.

Introduction: COVID-19 has impacted all dimensions of life and imposed serious threat on humankind.

Background: In Jordan, understanding how nurses experienced providing care for patients with COVID-19 offers a framework of knowledge about similar situations within the context of Arabic culture.

Aim: To explore nurses' experience with providing hands-on care to patients with active COVID-19 infection in an Arabic society.

Self-esteem, stress, and depressive symptoms among Jordanian pregnant women: social support as a mediating factor.

This study purposed to assess the mediating role of social support between stress, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem among Jordanian pregnant women. Across-sectional study recruited a total of 538 pregnant Jordanian women using a cluster stratified random sampling technique, during the period from September 2019 to February 2020. The study used the following measures: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Multidimensional Social Support Scale (MSPSS).

Language translation challenges with Arabic speakers participating in qualitative research studies.

This paper discusses how a research team negotiated the challenges of language differences in a qualitative study that involved two languages. The lead researcher shared the participants' language and culture, and the interviews were conducted using the Arabic language as a source language, which was then translated and disseminated in the English language (target language). The challenges in relation to translation in cross-cultural research were highlighted from a perspective of establishing meaning as a vital issue in qualitative research.

Translation of interviews from a source language to a target language: examining issues in cross-cultural health care research.

Aims And Objectives: To illuminate translation practice in cross-language interview in health care research and its impact on the construction of the data.

Background: Globalisation and changing patterns of migration have created changes to the world's demography; this has presented challenges for overarching social domains, specifically, in the health sector. Providing ethno-cultural health services is a timely and central facet in an ever-increasingly diverse world.

Psychological outcomes after hysterectomy for benign conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Hysterectomy is one of the commonest operative procedures in the developed world, mostly occurring among premenopausal women, with contradictory results regarding post-operative psychological wellbeing. This review aims to inform practice by examining whether hysterectomy predicts depression or anxiety outcomes. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO electronic databases for articles published before November 2012.
