AI Article Synopsis
- A study in a southeastern Turkey university hospital examined how the religious attitudes and behaviors of 150 relatives of intensive care patients affected their perceived stress levels from January to April 2019.
- Findings revealed a significant correlation between perceived stress and religious attitudes, with factors like age, gender, marital status, and education impacting stress levels; notably, 65.3% of participants turned to prayer for stress relief.
- The study suggests that nurses should tailor their stress management strategies to consider the religious beliefs of patients' relatives, especially since those with lower education levels reported less stress but higher religious engagement.
Article Abstract
This study was carried out in a university hospital located in the southeastern region of Turkey to determine the relationship between the perceived stress with the religious attitude and behavior of the intensive care patient's relatives; 150 patient's relatives participated in this descriptive and relation-seeking study between the dates of January and April 2019. The Personal Data Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Religious Attitude and Behavior Inventory that were designed by their own researchers as a result of the literature review were used in this study. As a result of this study, it was found that there was a statistically significant relationship between religious attitude and behavior and perceived stress levels of the patient's relatives with sociodemographic features such as age, gender, marital status, and educational level. It was determined that the participants mostly prefer to pray as a method for stress management (65.3%). In terms of educational level, it was identified that 42% of the participants are elementary school graduates; besides, the stress level of this group was significantly lower than the others, and their religious attitude and behaviors were higher (p = 0.004). In consideration of these results, in terms of holistic care, it is recommended that nurses should make arrangements toward their strategy for stress management considering the religious attitudes and behaviors of patients' relatives.

Objective: Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma is a relatively rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a poor prognosis and early recurrence, and is resistant to conventional therapies. This study investigated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in improving the survival outcomes of patients with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with postoperative recurrence.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 71 patients with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma who underwent pulmonary resection at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between 2008 and 2022.

Background: Diabetes affects half of the patients with cystic fibrosis who are aged 30 years and older. Diabetes progresses asymptomatically over a long period of time. Two treatment options are possible: start insulin as soon as cystic fibrosis diagnosis is made with the additional constraints of cystic fibrosis or wait while monitoring the patient's clinical condition and start insulin when diabetes symptoms develop and therefore later.

Background: Health authorities worldwide have invested in digital technologies to establish robust information exchange systems for improving the safety and efficiency of medication management. Nevertheless, inaccurate medication lists and information gaps are common, particularly during care transitions, leading to avoidable harm, inefficiencies, and increased costs. Besides fragmented health care processes, the inconsistent incorporation of patient-driven changes contributes to these problems.

Dementia clinical trials often fail to include diverse and historically minoritized groups. We sought to adapt the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias-Palliative Care (ADRD-PC) clinical trial to improve enrollment and address the cultural needs of people with late-stage ADRD who identify as Hispanic or Latino and their family caregivers. Bilingual, bicultural research team members adapted study materials and processes using the Cultural Adaptation Process Model.
