Published: April 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to reduce or eliminate the stressors to enhance nursing students' clinical learning experience through implementation of an iterative approach that developed a personalised response to student stress.

Methods: A prospective cohort research design was applied to collect data from a sample of undergraduate nursing students across the four study years. An iterative approach was employed to improve students' learning experience and the Stressors in Nursing Students Scale-Chinese Version (SINS-CN) was used to measure student stress. Key problems encountered by students were identified, refined and the responding solutions were worked out and implemented among this group of students through their first year to fourth year.

Results: The overall SINS-CN mean score (2.17-2.82) of students was declined to a moderate level.

Conclusions: Having implemented iterative approach to address factors that led to stressful environments encountered by the nursing students, the overall stress score and each sub-dimension score decreased significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that this approach could be adopted by other colleagues in the nursing arena around the world.

To ensure that an eHealth technology fits with its intended users, other stakeholders, and the context within which it will be used, thorough development, implementation, and evaluation processes are necessary. The CeHRes (Centre for eHealth and Wellbeing Research) Roadmap is a framework that can help shape these processes. While it has been successfully used in research and practice, new developments and insights have arisen since the Roadmap's first publication in 2011, not only within the domain of eHealth but also within the different disciplines in which the Roadmap is grounded.

An analytical study of active earth pressure in cohesive soil considering interlayer shear stress.

PLoS One

January 2025

Ltd Project Construction Management Company, Jiangxi Provincial Communications Investment Group Co., Nanchang, China.

The impact of interlayer shear stress on the distribution of earth pressure in cohesive soil is notable, but currently, there lacks a comprehensive theory that integrates this factor in the calculation of active earth pressure. Drawing from the Mohr stress circle specific to clay soils, a formula to calculate interlayer shear stress has been derived. Moreover, a robust model has been formulated to compute the active earth pressure in clay soils, incorporating elements such as interlayer shear stress, effects of displacement, soil arching, and the morphology of the sliding surface.

Resonant Auger Decay in Benzene.

J Phys Chem A

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089, United States.

We present ab initio calculations of the resonant Auger spectrum of benzene. In the resonant process, Auger decay ensues following the excitation of a core-level electron to a virtual orbital. Hence, resonant Auger decay gives rise to higher-energy Auger electrons compared to nonresonant decay.

The Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) model can be used to explore how faculty prioritize learning about and adopting new pedagogical approaches. Here, we use the DOI framework to contextualize biology faculty perceptions of a professional development (PD) program designed to help them create a full semester course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) class at a large, public comprehensive university. PD sessions included exploring self-reflexive identity while fostering inclusive classroom spaces through understanding and interrupting implicit bias and microaggressions.

Background: The person-based approach (PBA) has emerged as a prominent methodology guiding the development of digital and hybrid health behaviour change interventions over the last decade, and there is a salient need to understand its utilization.

Objective: This study aims to describe which elements of the PBA have been utilised in intervention development research, for which populations, and how this has been reported.

Methods: A search for intervention development papers published between 2015 and 2023 using forward citation searches was undertaken in Scopus, using two seed articles.
