Metal Effect on the Proton Conduction of Three Isostructural Metal-Organic Frameworks and Pseudo-Capacitance Behavior of the Cobalt Analogue.

Three isostructural transition metal-organic frameworks, [M(bta)(bpt)(HO)]·2HO (M = Co (), Ni (), Zn (), Hbta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, bpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole), were successfully constructed using different metal cations. These frameworks exhibit a three-dimensional network structure with multiple coordinated and lattice water molecules within the framework, contributing to high stability and a rich hydrogen-bond network. Proton conduction studies revealed that, at 333 K and 98% relative humidity, the proton conductivities (σ) of MOFs reached 1.

Caregiving risk perception characteristics and associated factors among informal caregivers of functionally dependent elderly individuals at home: a qualitative study.

Background: This study explored risk perception characteristics and influencing factors among informal caregivers of functionally dependent elderly individuals at home, aiming to improve caregivers' caregiving risk perception and coping abilities and ultimately enhance the quality of life for these individuals.

Methods: We used purposive sampling to select 22 informal caregivers from a community in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, China, between March and September 2023 and conducted face-to-face semi-structured in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method.

Measuring the quality of transitional care based on elderly patients' experiences with the partners at care transitions measure: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: The quality of transitional care is closely related to the health outcomes of patients, and understanding the status of transitional care for patients is crucial to improving the health outcomes of patients. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the quality of transitional care in elderly patients with chronic diseases and analyze its influencing factors, to provide a basis for improving transitional care services.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study.

Experiences of family caregivers of patients with post-traumatic hydrocephalus from hospital to home: a qualitative study.

Background: Post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) is a complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that requires treatment and postoperative care. The shunt is one of the main treatments for PTH, which presents with dysfunction and infection. Considering brain injury, hydrocephalus shunt malfunction, and infection, family caregivers need to be responsible for caring for PTH patients, recognizing shunt malfunction and infection, and managing those patients accordingly from hospital to home.
