Article Synopsis
- Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer in China, and this study explores the experiences of young adults in shared decision-making (SDM) for low-risk papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).
- Conducted through semistructured interviews with 24 patients aged 18-38, the study revealed four main themes about their SDM experiences: challenges in information sharing, reasons for seeking information, factors influencing decisions, and how they see their role in decision-making.
- The analysis highlighted three self-positions regarding treatment choices: dependent (paternalistic), collaborative (shared decision-making), and autonomous (personal responsibility), with significant challenges including limited treatment options, use of complex medical language, and gaps in communication with healthcare

Therefore, it is necessary to explore the importance of neck appearance after thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer survivors in China.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of scarring after open thyroid surgery on the quality of life of young patients.
Background: Workplace violence is prevalent in the nursing profession, and as a relatively junior link of the professional hierarchy, nursing students are not immune to it. Among these, verbal violence may have more serious consequences for the victims than physical violence, but the literature on verbal violence among nursing students in Chinese clinical settings is limited.
Aims: To explore the verbal violence experience among Chinese nursing students in clinical practice, and the strategies used by nursing students to cope with violence.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a global health threat and has had a profoundly negative impact on the work and lives of healthcare workers. However, few people know how their experiences have evolved over time.
Aims: To describe healthcare workers' experiences during clinical responses to COVID-19 and how they changed over time.
Purpose: Although thyroid cancer survivors have a good prognosis and the survival rate of differentiated thyroid cancer is close to 100%, treatment and its side effects seriously affect the quality of life of patients, especially rehabilitation at work. The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges faced by differentiated thyroid cancer survivors in returning to work and maintaining employment.
Methods: A purposive sample of differentiated thyroid cancer patients who had undergone surgical treatment and were followed up at the outpatient departments of thyroid surgery wards of two tertiary care hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China, between January and March 2023, were subjected to semi-structured interviews.
