Psychometric Testing of the Chinese Simple Version of the Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory: Classical Theory Test and Item Response Theory.

Background: High-fidelity simulation (HFS) has become a widely used and established pedagogy for teaching clinical nursing skills. Nevertheless, there are few evidence-based instruments that validate the effectiveness of simulation learning in mainland China.

Methods: The Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory (SLEI) was adapted and validated for use in this study.

The structural equation model on self-efficacy during post-op rehabilitation among non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Backgrounds: Self-efficacy plays an important role in pulmonary rehabilitation, but it is still unknown which factors exert their effects on postsurgical rehabilitation self-efficacy among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study aims to assess relationships among physical function, social factors, psychological factors, quality of life (QOL) and self-efficacy, and the effects of these variables on self-efficacy among NSCLC patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 238 postsurgical NSCLC patients (response rate 95.

Impact of Menopause on Quality of Life in Community-based Women in China: 1 Year Follow-up.

Quality of life (QOL) throughout menopause has become an outcome variable requiring measurement in clinical care. Staff nurses can provide earlier nursing during the menopausal transition (MT) stage. The purpose of this study was to describe the changes of QOL in different stages of the MT according to The Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW) in Chinese women in community settings.

Impact of workplace violence against nurses' thriving at work, job satisfaction and turnover intention: A cross-sectional study.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the interrelationships between workplace violence, thriving at work and turnover intention among Chinese nurses and to explore the action mechanism among these variables.

Background: Workplace violence is a dangerous occupational hazard globally, and it is pervasive in the health service industry. As a corollary, workplace violence may produce many negative outcomes among nursing staff.

A self-efficacy enhancing intervention for pulmonary rehabilitation based on motivational interviewing for postoperative lung cancers patients: modeling and randomized exploratory trial.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a self-efficacy enhancing intervention designed for pulmonary rehabilitation based on motivational interviewing (MI) for postsurgical non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study was a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial and was conducted in two cardiothoracic surgery departments, a tertiary hospital in Fuzhou, China. 28 postsurgical NSCLC patients were randomized to a 3 month (6 session) self-efficacy enhancing intervention based on MI or usual care (UC).

Improve nursing in evidence-based practice: How Chinese nurses' read and comprehend scientific literature.

Objectives: To examine Chinese nurses' practice of reading and understanding scientific literature and elucidate the motivating and deterring factors.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted between March and June 2015. A random sample of 853 full-time registered nurses from three tertiary and two secondary hospitals in China filled out a set of self-administered questionnaires, including literature habit questionnaire(41 items), the situational motivation scale and the socio-demographic and professional characteristics questionnaire(15 items).

Development and validation of a self-efficacy scale for postoperative rehabilitation management of lung cancer patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a Self-Efficacy Scale for Rehabilitation Management designed specifically for postoperative lung cancer patients (SESPRM-LC) and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Patients And Methods: Based on the concept of self-management of chronic disease, items were developed from literature review and semistructured interviews of 10 lung cancer patients and screened by expert consultation and pilot testing. Psychometric evaluation was done with 448 postoperative lung cancer patients recruited from 5 tertiary hospitals in Fuzhou, China, by incorporating classical test theory and item response theory methods.
