The transition process of perceptions of hygiene care practices among nurses in acute-care wards: A grounded theory study.

Aim: To explore how perceptions of hygiene care practices among nurses in acute-care wards change over their clinical experience.

Methods: Based on symbolic interactionism, we employed a grounded theory methodology to explore interrelationships of meaning arising from actors' perceptions and interactions. Thirty-three nurses working in acute-care wards for >3 years were selected by purposive snowball and theoretical sampling; semi-structured individual interviews were conducted from October 2023 to February 2024.

Quantity and quality of napping to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness among nurses working long night shifts: a prospective observational study.

However, there is insufficient evidence on how nurses nap, especially concerning their napping quality. This study explored night-shift napping and its associated factors among nurses, considering napping quantity and quality, to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness.

A single-nucleotide insertion in Rxp confers durable resistance to bacterial pustule in soybean.

The soybean Rxp gene, encoding a bHLH transcription factor and an ACT-like domain, has an rxp allele producing a truncated protein that confers resistance to pustule-causing Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines. In soybean, bacterial pustules caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.
