Unmet care needs of women who have undergone breast cancer surgery: A scoping review.

Aim: To summarize the evidence regarding the unmet care needs of women who have undergone breast cancer surgery and identify research gaps.

Design: A scoping review.

Data Sources: This review entailed a systematic search in EMBASE, Medline via PubMed, CINAHL Complete, APA PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus (up until 30 July 2023).

A cross-sectional examination of the relationship between nurses' experiences of skin lesions and anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic: Exploring the mediating role of fear and resilience.

Aim: To explore the mediating role of fear and resilience on the relationship between clinical nurses' reporting of skin lesions and their anxiety and depression during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Background: Prolonged personal protective equipment wearing may cause severe skin lesions among clinical nurses. The possible relationship between clinical nurses' reporting of skin lesions and their anxiety and depression remains unknown.

DNA walker-amplified signal-on electrochemical aptasensors for prostate-specific antigen coupling with two hairpin DNA probe-based hybridization reaction.

Electrochemical aptasensing systems have been developed for screening low-abundance disease-related proteins, but most of them involve multiple washings and multi-step separation during measurements, and thus are disadvantageous for routine use. In this work, an innovative and simple electrochemical aptasensing platform was designed for the voltammetric detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in biological fluids without any washing and separation steps. This system mainly included a PSA-specific aptamer, a DNA walker and two hairpin DNA probes (, thiolated hairpin DNA1 and ferrocene-labeled hairpin DNA2).

The Perspectives and Lived Experience of Postoperative Patients with Lung Cancer Participating in a Home-Based Exercise Intervention.

Objectives: Postoperative patients with lung cancer experience a cluster of symptoms and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to collect the pre- and postexercise intervention opinions of postoperative patients with lung cancer and to identify their perceptions of barriers, facilitators, and benefits of a home-based exercise intervention and its impact on their future exercise.

Data Sources: Fourteen participants (aged 53 to 78) were purposively recruited from a tertiary hospital to participate in a 4-week home-based walking exercise intervention after discharge.

Frontline nurses' willingness to work during the COVID-19 pandemic: A mixed-methods study.

Aim: Frontline nurses' willingness to work has significant implications for maintaining workforce stability and quality of care during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, few studies have investigated their willingness and the corresponding reasons. This study aims to examine frontline nurses' willingness to work, identify its predictors and explore its corresponding reasons.

Design: A mixed-methods design was conducted.
