Introduction: Chronic physical disease (CPD) makes life filled with many negative events in adolescents, but not all adolescents experiencing negative life events proceed to develop emotional distress, only those with low emotional distress tolerance (EDT). A valid and reliable scale to measure EDT in CPD adolescents is important for caring for their emotional distress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to translate the 15-item English version Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) into a Chinese version and then validate the scale for measuring EDT of adolescents with CPD.

Design And Methods: The 26-item English version PAID-T was translated into a Chinese version guided by the translation model for cross-cultural research. A cross-sectional design was used and 203 adolescents with T1D were recruited from four hospitals in Taiwan.
Interventions to Support Adolescents With Cancer in Decision-Making: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Worldviews Evid Based Nurs
December 2021
Background: Adolescents have autonomous views and participatory rights. There is increasing support for involving adolescents with cancer in the healthcare decision-making process.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to synthesize current knowledge to identify major components and outcomes of interventions to enhance shared decision-making (SDM) by adolescents with cancer during and after treatment.
Health-Promoting Lifestyle and Its Predictors in Adolescent Survivors of Childhood Cancer.
J Pediatr Oncol Nurs
October 2021
Cancer survivors are at increased risk of long-term adverse effects related to the disease or treatment. Thus, it is important for cancer survivors to adopt a health-promoting lifestyle (HPL). This study aims to: (1) describe health behavior self-efficacy (HBSE) and HPL of adolescent survivors of childhood cancer, (2) examine the relationships between HBSE, HPL, and various demographic factors, and (3) identify determinants of HPL among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer.

This study aimed to develop a Chinese version Personal Adjustment and Role Skills Scale III for Adolescents (C-PARSIII-A) with chronic disease and to examine its construct validity and reliability.
Design And Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted.
Aim: To construct a model addressing the pathways from baseline diabetes distress, attribution of peer reactions, parenting style and 3-month self-management to 6-month glycated haemoglobin levels in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Design: A prospective design was adopted.
Methods: A total of 177 adolescents aged 10-19 with type 1 diabetes were enrolled from four hospitals in Taiwan.
Aims And Objectives: To test the construct and concurrent validity and reliability of the incident-reporting attitude scale used for staff in long-term care facilities (IRA-LTC) by the two-phase cross-validation method.
Background: Lack of accurate measurement on incident-reporting attitude might hinder improvements of safety practice in long-term care facilities.
Design/methods: A two-phase cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in Taiwan.
Self-management among adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poorer than in other age groups during childhood. A valid and reliable short-form scale to measure self-management in adolescents with T1D is prudent for enhancing their self-management in clinical settings. We used a cross-sectional design to develop a short-form Chinese version of the Self-Management of Type 1 Diabetes for Adolescents Scale (C-SMOD-A) and test its psychometric characteristics.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Most previous studies on moral distress focused on the factors that cause moral distress, paying inadequate attention to the moral conflict of nurses' values, the physician-nurse power hierarchy, and the influence of the culture.
Research Objective: To analyze the main causes for moral distress with interpretive interactionism.
Research Design: A qualitative study was adopted.
Background: Understanding the predictors of glycemic control in adolescents of various age groups with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is crucial for nurses to cultivate developmental-specific interventions to improve glycemic control in this age group. However, research has rarely addressed this issue, particularly in the context of Asian populations.
Purpose: We explored the predictive influence of demographic characteristics, self-care behaviors, family conflict, and parental involvement on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels 6 months after the baseline measurement in adolescents of various age groups with T1D in Taiwan.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to explore the maternal health risk factors and sentinel events among women in the Solomon Islands, from the viewpoints of health care providers in the Solomon Islands.
Design And Method: Three focus group interviews were conducted in July and August 2011 at a secondary referral hospital in an urban area. The study consisted of 10 registered nurses and 11 skilled birth assistants.
The role of "mother" is understood and represented differently by people from different cultures. In traditional Taiwanese society, mothers demonstrate their existence value by giving birth to and raising sons able to continue her husband's familial line. Sons bear the patriarchal name and care for their parents in old age.

Background: Developmental assets can be considered as potential health assets for adolescents. Understanding the relationship between developmental assets and health-promoting behaviours among adolescents could provide nurses with a new approach to design intervention programmes for adolescent health-promoting behaviours.
Aim: This paper is a report of a study conducted to examine the influence of risk/protective factors on risk behaviours of early adolescents and whether protective factors moderate their impact.
Background: An understanding of how risk and protective factors operate to influence risk behaviours of early adolescents will better prepare nurses to perform interventions appropriately to reduce risk behaviours of early adolescents.
Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out, based on a sample of public junior high schools (from 7th to 9th grades) in one city and one county in Taiwan.
Background: Understanding the life experiences of mothers of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is very important for nurses focused on providing family care. The present study provides valuable insight into this issue, as few studies on this important topic have been done previously.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to explore thoroughly the life experiences of mothers taking care of DMD children from their own perspectives.
Background: Few studies have explored the influence of postpartum depression on later life among mothers in Taiwan. The present follow-up study aims to explore the effects of postpartum depression on the psychosocial health of mothers and on the overall development of their infants.
Methods: Follow-up evaluations were carried out on 29 postnatally depressed and 31 nondepressed mothers and their infants at 1 year after childbirth.
