Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the concept of impostorism as applied to nursing and other disciplines.
Background: Impostorism has not been well defined or studied in nursing. Researchers have not studied connections between role transition stress of new graduates and impostorism, despite evidence that nursing students experience impostorism during undergraduate studies.
Design: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis was the method used in this study.
Data Sources: The databases used were Academic Search Complete, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, PsycARTICLES, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, SocINDEX, and Dissertations and Theses databases.
Review Methods: All nursing-specific citations were included in the literature sample. Of the remaining non-nursing citations, stratified random sampling provided 28 non-nursing citations. An additional purposive sampling of seminal impostorism publications resulted in 46 resources for analysis.
Results: Concept analysis revealed that key attributes of impostorism include fear of failure and difficulty accepting praise. Impostorism antecedents relate to personality, attribution, family, workplace, and sociodemographic variables. According to concept analysis, a conceptual definition emerges of impostorism as a subjective, inaccurate self-assessment involving feelings of intellectual and professional incompetence and fraudulence despite external evidence of success.
Conclusion: Impostorism has undergone evolutionary changes in various disciplines. However, the nursing discipline needs more research related to nurses' experiences with impostorism in the workplace.

A child's concept of pain comprises their understanding of what pain is, the purpose of pain, and biological processes underpinning pain. The concept of pain can influence pain experiences, pain beliefs, and pain-related behaviour. This study aimed to assess the concept of pain among children attending primary schools in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

Synthetic data have emerged as an attractive option for developing machine-learning methods in human neuroimaging, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-a modality where image contrast depends enormously on acquisition hardware and parameters. This retrospective paper reviews a family of recently proposed methods, based on synthetic data, for generalizable machine learning in brain MRI analysis. Central to this framework is the concept of domain randomization, which involves training neural networks on a vastly diverse array of synthetically generated images with random contrast properties.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive thyroid gland malignancy. Several consensuses support the concept of multimodal therapy that combines surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. However, patient's comorbidity, poor performance status, and metastasis often make it impossible for patients to undergo multimodal therapy.

Background: Ethical conflict among nurses has a significant impact on their health and the quality of nursing care. The lack of specific ethical and legal signs and obstacles for reporting ethical conflict in nurses has made diagnosis and the management of its negative consequences difficult. This study aims to develop a valid, reliable, evidence-based instrument to assess the ethical conflict of nurses in the sociocultural and managerial context of Iran.
