Ethical risks in robot health education: A qualitative study.

Background: As health education robots may potentially become a significant support force in nursing practice in the future, it is imperative to adhere to the European Union's concept of "Responsible Research and Innovation" (RRI) and deeply reflect on the ethical risks hidden in the process of intelligent robotic health education.

Aim: This study explores the perceptions of professional nursing professionals regarding the potential ethical risks associated with the clinical practice of intelligent robotic health education.

Research Design: This study adopts a descriptive phenomenological approach, employing Colaizzi's seven-step method for data analysis.

The transformation of 20-year social participation policies of older people in China: Network analysis and text analysis.

Background: Social participation of older adults is a crucial component of China's aged care services and an important strategy for actively addressing the aging population. Analyzing policy texts on older people's social participation can inform future policy formulation and the development of relevant programs.

Objectives: This study aims to quantitatively analyze the transformation of China's social participation policies for older people from 1999 to 2023, employing institutional network analysis and policy text analysis.

Enhancing Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets Using Carbon Nanotube-Modified Epoxy.

The external bonding (EB) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a usual flexural reinforcement method. When using the technique, premature debonding failure still remains a factor of concern. The effect of incorporating multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in epoxy resin on the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets was investigated through four-point bending beam tests.

Compact photonic crystal spectrometer with resolution beyond the fabrication precision.

We present a compact silicon photonic crystal spectrometer with a footprint of 740 × 9 µm and excellent wavelength resolution (∼0.01 nm at single and <0.03 nm at multiple wavelength operation) across a telecom bandwidth of 10 nm.

Incorporating evidence-based practice education in nursing research curriculum of undergraduate nursing students: A quasi-experimental study.

Aim: To examine the effect of incorporating evidence-based practice (EBP) in Nursing Research curriculum on undergraduate nursing students.

Background: The competence of EBP is essential for nurses and it is an essential task for educators to implement EBP education in nursing students.

Design: A quasi-experimental study.

Resilience mediates the association between alexithymia and stress in Chinese medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Evidence indicates that medical students have had high rates of mental health problems, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which could be affected by alexithymia-a marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment and interpersonal relationships-and stress. However, psychological resilience might relieve alexithymia and stress levels.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the role of resilience in alexithymia and stress in medical students.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for chronic pain on functioning: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Chronic pain is a worldwide health problem, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is regarded as one of the promising interventions. ACT aims to help chronic pain patients to create space for pursuing valued life activities in spite of pain. This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examined the efficacy of ACT on functioning for chronic pain.

Acceptance and commitment therapy for chronic pain conditions on functioning: A systematic review protocol.

Aim: To explore the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on chronic pain in terms of functioning; and to identify the most promising modes and patterns for implementing ACT.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: We will include randomized controlled trials which focus on the efficacy of ACT on chronic pain conditions with functioning as the primary outcome.

Developing a curriculum model of English teaching for master's degree nursing education in a Chinese medicine university.

Objective: English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is the essence for developing scientific research capacity, which is a core component for postgraduate education. The objective of this article is to develop a curriculum model for ESP of Master's level nursing education in a Chinese medicine university.

Method: A three-year action research approach with continuous reflection and modification was used to develop an ESP curriculum based on the RICH model.

Emotional Distress Correlates Among Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Hierarchical Linear Regression Analysis.

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has become a worldwide health concern, and emotional distress is an important issue for CLBP management. However, it remains poorly understood how emotional distress happens and develops. This study aimed to systematically explore the correlates of emotional distress in patients with CLBP.

The Influence of Self-Efficacy, Fear-Avoidance Belief, and Coping Styles on Quality of Life for Chinese Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Multisite Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: As a bio-psycho-social issue, chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been a significant topic in health management, and patients' quality of life (QOL) is gaining extensive attention. Self-efficacy, pain fear-avoidance belief (FAB), and coping styles play important roles in the QOL of CLBP patients. However, it remains unclear how self-efficacy and FAB influence QOL through specific coping styles.

Self-management program for chronic low back pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of self-management programs (SMPs) on chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Methods: A search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed in Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Elsevier, and CINAHL through June, 2015. Two reviewers selected trials, conducted critical appraisal, and extracted data.

Patient education programs for cancer-related fatigue: A systematic review.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of patient education programs on cancer-related fatigue (CRF).

Methods: A search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed in Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Elsevier, and CINAHL through April 2014. Two reviewers selected trials, conducted critical appraisals, and extracted data.

Taichi exercise for self-rated sleep quality in older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
