We aimed to cross-culturally validate this questionnaire for the Portuguese population and to examine its psychometric properties.

Methods: An exploratory-descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional, and validation study was conducted.

Aim: To map studies that tested an intervention orienting patient transfer to Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and identify outcomes related to care safety.

Methods: Scoping review guided by recommendations of the JBI Manual and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guide. The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework was used to develop the research question and consolidate inclusion and exclusion criteria in databases consulted without date parameters.

Cells evoke the DNA damage checkpoint (DDC) to inhibit mitosis in the presence of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to allow more time for DNA repair. In budding yeast, a single irreparable DSB is sufficient to activate the DDC and induce cell cycle arrest prior to anaphase for about 12-15 hr, after which cells 'adapt' to the damage by extinguishing the DDC and resuming the cell cycle. While activation of the DNA damage-dependent cell cycle arrest is well understood, how it is maintained remains unclear.

Background: While timely activation and collaborative teamwork of Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) are crucial to promote a culture of safety and reduce preventable adverse events, these do not always occur. Understanding nurses' perceptions of and experiences with RRTs is important to inform education and policy that improve nurse performance, RRT effectiveness, and patient outcomes.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore nurse perceptions of detecting patient deterioration, deciding to initiate RRTs, and experience during and at conclusion of RRTs.
