Background: Infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, are high-risk factors for delirium. However, the implementation of nonpharmacological interventions faces major challenges during an infectious disease pandemic.
Aims: To evaluate the effect of the nurse-led Hospital Elder Life Program (NL-HELP) on delirium reduction among delirious patients with COVID-19.
Objectives: Career self-management is believed to be a critical behaviour in the new career era. However, the underlying mechanisms that stimulate nurses' career self-management are unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating effect of self-efficacy and the moderating effect of proactive personality on the relationship between perceived organisational support and career self-management among nurses.

Background: Corynespora leaf spot is a common leaf disease occurring in sesame, and the disease causes leaf yellowing and even shedding, which affects the growth quality of sesame. At present, the mechanism of sesame resistance to this disease is still unclear. Understanding the resistance mechanism of sesame to Corynespora leaf spot is highly important for the control of infection.

WAKL genes are important in the plant response to biotic stresses by sensing and transmitting external signals to the intracellular receptor. However, there is still a lack about the WAKL gene family and its function in sesame resistance to M.

What factors influence the implementation of early mobilisation from the lens of all stakeholders is unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the influencing factors of early mobilisation in pancreatic surgery from the perspective of patients, family members and health professionals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the career growth scale for nurses (CGSN) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Methods: This study was conducted in four phases: (1) creating a pool of potential items through a qualitative design; (2) developing a preliminary scale using a modified two-round Delphi process; (3) refining the preliminary scale to finalize the scale using a cross-sectional survey; and (4) evaluating the psychometric properties of the final scale using another cross-sectional survey. A sample of 858 registered nurses from 12 general hospitals was recruited for this study.
To investigate adherence to oral anticoagulants among patients after mechanical heart valve (BHV) replacement and further examine the mediating role of medication belief in the relationship between knowledge and medication adherence. The number of patients who undergo BHV replacement has increased in recent years. Short-term anticoagulant therapy is recommended for patients after BHV replacement.

Objectives: To examine whether basic psychological needs and organizational commitment mediate the relationship between the work practice environment and work engagement.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 893 nurses from 14 cities in Sichuan Province of China between November 2021 and December 2021.
Objectives: To identify the barriers to and facilitators of secondary prevention among people with coronary heart disease from the perspectives of nurses.
Design: A qualitative descriptive design using face-to-face semistructured interviews.
Setting: This study was conducted in China from October to November 2021.
Aim: To examine the mediating effect of basic psychological needs on the relationship between perceived organizational support and work engagement among nurses.
Background: The satisfaction of basic psychological needs is crucial for breeding and sustaining individuals' intrinsic motivation. Little is known about the underlying motivational mechanisms that explain the relationship among perceived organizational support, basic psychological needs, and work engagement in a nursing context.
Aims: To explore nurses' experiences and perceptions of career growth and its influencing factors, as career growth is more closely associated with individual attitudes and behaviours in the new career era.
Design: A qualitative descriptive design was used.
Methods: Thirty-one nurses from 10 secondary and 8 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province of China were purposively selected to participate in this study.
We characterized a negative sense single-stranded RNA mycovirus, mymonavirus 1 (FoMyV1), isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus . The genome of FoMyV1 is 10,114 nt, including five open reading frames (ORFs1-5) that are non-overlapping and linearly arranged. The largest, ORF5, encodes a large polypeptide L containing a conserved regions corresponding to RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and mRNA-capping enzyme region V; the putative functions of the remaining four ORFs are unknown.
