This article augments the existing body of literature through examining the creation and design of an instrument measuring unintended consequences (UCs) of electronic health records (EHRs). Data from a previous qualitative study that explored nurses' perceptions of EHR effectiveness as a communication system were analyzed using a theoretical model focused on decision making. The qualitative data, informed by the model, were then organized into an instrument seeking to quantitatively measure nurses' experiences with UCs of EHRs. The model assisted in revealing patterns in nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of the EHR as a communication system that ultimately strengthened the development of the instrument. Instrumentation from qualitative data has long been considered an acceptable and positive approach to scale development. The process for accomplishing this goal has often been omitted from the literature. We contend that other researchers will find this methods article informative for similar undertakings.

Graduate School of Nursing, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Introduction: The storage of reusable medical devices (RMDs) is the final reprocessing phase and the step that directly precedes point-of-care delivery. Reusable medical devices, including surgical tools necessitating sterilization and semicritical devices such as endoscopes, undergo high-level disinfection. The rigorous reprocessing protocols and subsequent storage of RMDs are crucial in preserving their sterility and asepsis.

Accelerometer-measured physical activity timing with incident dementia.
Alzheimers Dement
January 2025
Innovation Center for Neurological Disorders, Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Introduction: Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is linked to lower dementia risk, though the optimal timing remains unclear.
Methods: Using accelerometer-measured MVPA data from 90,329 dementia-free UK Biobank participants with at least 2 years of follow-up, we assessed associations between MVPA patterns (morning, afternoon, evening, mixed, inactive) and dementia risk via multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.
Results: Compared to the inactive group, participants with a tendency of morning MVPA had a lower risk of all-cause dementia (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.
Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Arthritis Self-Care Behaviors Scale.
Int J Rheum Dis
January 2025
School of Nursing, Peking University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Background: In Chinese intervention studies, the lack of specific self-care scales based on the functional characteristics of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has caused patients and researchers to spend a great deal of time completing multiple related scales during the research work. Therefore, the arthritis Self-Care Behaviors Scale (SCBS) was developed to evaluate the self-care behavior of patients with arthritis.
Objective: The objectives of this study were to translate the SCBS into Chinese and test its psychometric properties in Chinese patients with RA.
Development of a positive pressure-based instrumentation for efficient solid phase extraction.

Unlabelled: Solid phase extraction technique is a widely used sample preparation technique for the extraction of components from complex food matrices. However, there are several parameters in SPE that leads to low recovery, and reproducibility, insufficiently clean extracts and evaporation of volatile compounds. These drawbacks can be addressed through the use of innovative techniques and instrumentation that offers improved efficiency and accuracy for isolation of active constituents from food and beverage samples.
