There are multiple advantages to using human patient simulation (HPS) as a teaching method for clinical nursing education. Valid, reliable tools that can be used when applying this teaching method are needed to evaluate nursing student skill acquisition. The aim of this study was to translate the Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument (C-SEI) into Spanish and to analyse the reliability and validity of the Spanish C-SEI version with nursing students. The study was conducted in two phases: (1) Adaptation of the instrument into Spanish. (2) Cross-sectional study in a sample of 249 nursing students who were evaluated by two observers. The psychometric properties were analysed in terms of reliability (internal consistency and inter-observer consistency) and construct validity using an exploratory factor analysis. Questionnaire internal consistency was 0.839 for the tool as a whole. Inter-observer concordance for the tool as a whole was 0.936 and greater than 0.80 for the majority of the items. The exploratory factor analysis showed a four-factor structure that explains 49.5% of the total variance. The results of this study show that the C-SEI-sp tool is a valid and reliable tool that is easy to apply in the monitoring of student performance in clinical simulation scenarios.

Numerous cities in the Russian Federation have joined the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Network for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities since 2011. In order to do quantitative evaluations of the age-friendliness of cities, the Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Questionnaire (AFCCQ) was developed in the Netherlands. The purpose of this study was to translate and test the validity and reliability of the AFCCQ for use in the Russian Federation, and to study the views on the age-friendliness of the city of Kazan in the Republic of Tatarstan from an intergenerational perspective.

Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.

This investigation evaluated validity and reliability of the HUMAC360 linear position transducer (LPT) compared to the Tendo Sport Weightlifting Analyzer (TENDO) for measuring mean velocity (MV), peak velocity (PV), and displacement (D) during the bench press. Seventeen recreationally active individuals completed three visits. During visit one, participants were assessed for their one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press.

Background: There is a lack of high-quality evidence to support the recommendation of an instrument to screen emergency department patients for their risk for violence.
Objective: To demonstrate the content and predictive validity and reliability of the novel Risk for Violence Screening Tool to identify patients at risk for violence.
Design And Setting: This retrospective risk screening study was conducted at a 100-bed emergency department in an urban, academic, safety net trauma center in Southern California.
