Cross-cultural adaptation of the simple Chinese version of the medication adherence reasons scale in patients undergoing adjuvant endocrine therapy for breast cancer.

Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is essential for improving survival and reducing mortality and recurrence rates in breast cancer (BrCa) patients. However, the adherence to AET among BrCa patients is poor, and there is no scale to measure adherence to AET or the reasons for non-adherence among BrCa patients in mainland China. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the simple Chinese version of the Medication Adherence Reasons (MAR) scale in BrCa patients undergoing AET.

A scoping review of interventions targeting HIV stigma in women living with HIV.

Since its initial detection in the 1980s, AIDS has become a significant global health threat, disproportionately affecting women. Stigma constitutes the substantial barrier to accessing healthcare for women living with HIV (WLWH). This scoping review based on the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework aimed to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical caregivers to develop intervention strategies and assess their effectiveness.

Methodological components, structure and quality assessment tools for evidence summaries: a scoping review.

Objective: The objective of this review was to identify and map the available information related to the definition, structure, and core methodological components of evidence summaries, as well as to identify any indicators of quality.

Introduction: Evidence summaries offer a practical solution to overcoming some of the barriers present in evidence-based health care, such as lack of access to evidence at the point of care, and the knowledge and expertise to evaluate the quality and translate the evidence into clinical decision-making. However, lack of transparency in reporting and inconsistencies in the methodology of evidence summary development have previously been cited and pose problems for end-users (eg, clinicians, policymakers).

The implementation study of nurses' work related low back pain prevention and care guideline: A quasi-experimental study.

Aim: To understand the implementation process and outcomes of nurses' work related low back pain (WLBP) prevention and care guideline.

Symptom networks in older adults with cancer: A network analysis.

Introduction: Due to aging, older adults with cancer (OAC) may be confronted with a complex interplay of multiple age-related issues; coupled with receiving cancer treatment, OAC may experience multiple concurrent symptoms that require the identification of the core symptom for effective management. Constructing symptom networks will help in the identification of core symptoms and help achieve personalized and precise interventions. Currently, few studies have used symptom networks to identify core symptoms in OAC.

Elevated estradiol levels on hCG trigger day adversely effects on the clinical pregnancy rates of blastocyst embryo transfer but not cleavage-stage embryo transfer in fresh cycles: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Elevated estradiol (E) levels are an inevitable outcome of the controlled ovulation hyperstimulation. However, the effect of this change on pregnancy is still uncertain. Our study aimed to analyze the impact of increased serum E at the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration on the clinical outcomes of women with fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycles.

Background: It is unknown whether financial well-being mediates the impact of multimorbidity on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of cancer patients.

Methods: Participants were recruited from three outpatient oncology clinics of Hong Kong public hospitals. Multimorbidity was assessed using the Charlson Comorbidity Index.

Symptom Clusters and Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Endocrine Therapy in China.

Objectives: Breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy experience various symptoms that have long-term effects on their quality of life. However, which symptom clusters are expressed and affect patients' quality of life remain significantly controversial. Therefore, we aimed to explore symptom clusters among breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy and identify the impact of these clusters on their quality of life.

Contemporaneous symptom networks and correlates during endocrine therapy among breast cancer patients: A network analysis.

Background: Endocrine therapy-related symptoms are associated with early discontinuation and quality of life among breast cancer survivors. Although previous studies have examined these symptoms and clinical covariates, little is known about the interactions among different symptoms and correlates. This study aimed to explore the complex relationship of endocrine therapy-related symptoms and to identify the core symptoms among breast cancer patients.

Psychometric properties of self-reported measures of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: The aim of this review is to identify and assess the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV.

Introduction: Some reviews have been conducted to identify generic and HIV-specific health-related, quality-of-life measures in people living with HIV. However, these studies did not report the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures, making it difficult for researchers to choose one measure from the existing measures to assess health-related quality of life.
