AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The provision of prompt effective resuscitation is fundamental in ensuring successful outcomes following cardiac arrest but historically nurses and doctors have lacked competence in performing basic life support (BLS), despite being confident in their abilities. The object of this study was to assess BLS confidence as assessed against competence of doctors' in-training, qualified nurses and healthcare assistants (HCAs) following the development of structured resuscitation training. This study has highlighted that the introduction of a structured resuscitation training programme has resulted in a noticeable improvement in BLS skills, particularly with regard to doctors. Registered nurses have improved with regular training compared with previously published data but HCAs tend to perform poorly and are under-confident. There remains a mismatch between confidence and competence, with only doctors demonstrating both confidence and competency and therefore changes to training programmes may be required to address this mismatch.

Based on the theory of planned behavior, the objective was to test a theoretical model that explains the intention to continue practicing sports among adolescents currently involved in sports practice in Mexicali based on factors that generate perceived social pressure to be perfect (perceived descriptive norm) and that lead to internal factors of perceived control (perceived competence, general self-concept, and enjoyment). A battery of questionnaires that measured the study variables was applied to 195 adolescent athletes of both sexes. The causal model with observed variables rejected part of the hypothesis since the athletes' perception that their parents impose high performance expectations on them and that they criticize them when these expectations are not achieved was not associated with the athletes' perceived competence.

Background: Epidemiological studies have confirmed the relationship between personality trait neuroticism and physical health. However, the relationship between neuroticism and frailty remains unconfirmed. This study employed a bi-directional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationship between neuroticism and frailty.

Background: The accelerated advancement of information technology and artificial intelligence in the modern globalized world has necessitated a high level of technology competence from translators to adapt to the increasing needs of clients and the language industry. Prior research indicated that emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and innovation capability independently affected students' translation competence. However, no research has investigated how these psychological factors influence student translators' proficiency in translation technology.

This study aims to explore the temporal dynamics of the relationships between problematic social media use(PSMU), self-transcendence values, and school adaptation among college students.Methods This study employed longitudinal cross-lagged analysis and structural equation modeling to investigate whether there is a mutual influence among PSMU, self-transcendence values, and school adaptation. Additionally, the study explored whether these variables serve as intermediaries in the associations between the other two variables.
