Objective: The study aims to investigate factors that prevent burnout (BO) and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while facilitating posttraumatic growth (PTG) among nurses combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with the purpose of validating the mediating effects of PTG.
Methods: A total of 247 nurses who provided patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic were enrolled, and a questionnaire was used to measure BO, PTSD, and PTG, data on deliberate rumination, emotional expression, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation (CER), maladaptive CER, and social support. The mediation path models for the effects of the predictors on BO and PS through the mediation of PTG were analyzed using the R Lavaan package.
Two-dimensional (2D)-layered material tantalum disulfide (2H-TaS) is known to be a van der Waals conductor at room temperature. Here, 2D-layered TaS has been partially oxidized by utraviolet-ozone (UV-O) annealing to form a 12-nm-thin TaO on conducting TaS, so that the TaO/2H-TaS structure might be self-assembled. Utilizing the TaO/2H-TaS structure as a platform, each device of a β-GaO channel MOSFET and a TaO memristor has been successfully fabricated.

Purpose: This study was done to compare clinical nurses' knowledge and visual differentiation diagnostic ability for the pressure ulcer classification system (PUCS) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
Methods: A convenience sample of 602 nurses took the pressure ulcer classification system and incontinence-associated dermatitis knowledge test (PUCS & IAD KT) and completed the visual differentiation tool (VDT), consisting of 21 photographs with clinical information.
Results: The overall mean score for correct answers was 14.
