[Evaluation of the Nurses' Utilization of the Pain Management Information System Based on the Information System Success Model].

Background: Pain records provide important data to medical teams to guide their provision of pain management interventions. Incomplete records and records that do not integrate pain data will affect patient safety. Use of information technology helps facilitate communication within the medical team and improve quality of care.

Gender role moderates correlation between learning needs and behavioural intention of sexual health care in female nurses.

Aim: This study evaluated the correlation between learning needs and behavioural intention of sexual health care in female Registered Nurses and to assess the moderating effect of gender role on this relationship.

Design: In this cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey, a convenience sampling of female Registered Nurses was included from Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taiwan.

Methods: Three questionnaires were used to obtain self-reported data on learning needs, behavioural intention and gender role.

Relevant Factors Affecting Nurse Use of a Pain Management System.

This study aimed to explore influencing factors and predictive capability for nursing staff use of a pain management system based on the information system success model. There were three key results: (a) Information quality is the most important influencing factor; (b) The correlations between these factors were all positively correlated; (c)Information quality and user satisfaction are the affect factors in predicting net benefits. These results elucidate the relevant factors affecting use of a pain management system by nurses, and can also predict system benefits.

Pleiotropic Associations of Gene Variants and Circulating Chemerin Levels: Potential Roles of Chemerin Involved in the Metabolic and Inflammation-Related Diseases.

Chemerin, an adipokine and inflammatory mediator, is associated with metabolic, inflammation- and immune-mediated diseases. The genetic, clinical, and biomarker correlates of circulating chemerin levels have not been completely elucidated. We analyzed the determinants and correlates of retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (; encoding chemerin) gene variants and chemerin levels in the Taiwanese population.
