Stress coping and resilience of frontline nurses under the emergency infectious disease pandemic: A latent class analysis.

Aim: This study aimed to classify coping strategies and resilience among nurses caring for COVID-19 patients using latent class analysis (LCA), and to compare variations across these subgroups.

Background: The pandemic of emerging infectious diseases is a traumatic stressor for frontline nurses, potentially leading to compassion fatigue. Effective coping strategies and resilience were essential for managing stress, but their nuanced classification and outcomes remain unclear.

Optomagnetic Micromirror Arrays for Mapping Large Area Stiffness Distributions of Biomimetic Materials.

A new device termed "Optomagnetic Micromirror Arrays" (OMA) is demonstrated capable of mapping the stiffness distribution of biomimetic materials across a 5.1 mm × 7.2 mm field of view with cellular resolution.

Recruitment for Voluntary Video and Mobile HIV Testing on Social Media Platforms During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted social distancing policies and caused misinformation that hindered in-person HIV screening for high-risk groups. Social media platforms provide additional options for voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) for HIV, overcoming these limitations. However, there is a lack of data on HIV testing recruitment through social media platforms and its outcomes during the pandemic.

Association Between Intrinsic Capacity and Hospital Admission Among Older Adults in the Emergency Department.

This prospective cohort study assessed the impact of intrinsic capacity on hospital admissions among older adults after an Emergency Department (ED) visit. Assessing 1132 patients according to WHO's Integrated Care for Older People guidelines between March 1 and August 30, 2022, we found that 784 (69.26%) were admitted.

Investigating first instinct fallacy in cytology education and cytomorphology examination.

Introduction: The specific aims of the study are to assess whether answer changing on a high-stakes cytomorphology examination will lower the cytology examinees' scores and to examine whether there is a difference in the frequency of responses changed between high-, average-, and low-performing cytology learners. The paper also seeks to explore if there is a correlation between outcomes of answer changes (success rates) and cytology learner's levels of performance.

Materials And Methods: The eraser marks and pen cross-outs on the cytology final image examinations from 2019-2023 were reviewed and the number of changes made by the examinees and the frequency to which scores were raised or lowered as a result was recorded.
