Objective: Shared decision-making (SDM) enhances medical care, but an appropriate tool for evaluating nursing staff's attitudes towards SDM in clinical practice is lacking. The objective of this study is to develop the Nursing Shared Decision-Making Attitude (NSDMA) scale and verify its psychometric properties.
Design: Instrument design study.
Participants: A sample of 451 nursing staff.
Intervention: This study comprised two phases. In phase 1, qualitative research and expert content validity were adopted to develop the first draft of the scale. In phase 2, Taiwanese nursing staff were recruited through convenience sampling, and the sample was divided into a calibration sample and a validation sample. An objective structured clinical examination of SDM attitudes was administered to 100 nursing staff to determine the scale's cut-off score.
Main Outcome Measurements: Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to obtain the underlying factors of the NSDMA scale; McDonald's omega value was used to determine the reliability; known-group validity was used to test the construct validity; and the receiver operating characteristic curve was adopted to determine the scale's cut-off score.
Results: In total, two factors were identified from the instrument results, which were termed 'empathic communication' and 'mastery learning'. The McDonald's omega value of the overall scale was 0.92. Known-group validity testing was performed based on the staff's participation in SDM courses and experience of SDM, and the results exhibited significant differences (t=5.49, p<0.001; t=2.43, p<0.05). Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve, the optimal cut-off for SDM attitudes was determined as 48.5 points.
Conclusions: The NSDMA scale enables the evaluation of SDM attitudes among clinical nursing staff and nursing managers; the results may serve as a reference for incorporation of SDM into nursing policy formulation.

Incidence of Adjacent Synchronous Ipsilateral Infiltrating Carcinoma and/or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ in Patients Diagnosed with Flat Epithelial Atypia by Core Needle Biopsy (TBCRC 034).

Division of Breast Surgery, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Flat epithelial atypia (FEA), a rare breast proliferative lesion, is often diagnosed following core biopsy (CB) of mammographic microcalcifications. In the prospective multi-institution TBCRC 034 trial, we investigate the upgrade rate to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer following excision for patients diagnosed with FEA on CB.
Patients And Methods: Patients with a breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) ≤ 4 imaging abnormality and a concordant CB diagnosis of FEA were identified for excision.

Introduction: Acne impairs quality of life, often leads to permanent scars, and causes psychological distress. This review aims to update dermatologists on the Federal Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and off-label use of combined oral contraceptives (COC), clascoterone, spironolactone, and emerging hormonal therapies for acne treatment.
Methods: We reviewed current literature on hormonal acne treatments and discussed common patient concerns, barriers to care, and individualized care needs.

Statins (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors) play a vital role in managing and preventing cardiovascular disease, particularly in elderly populations who face elevated risks for atherosclerosis and related conditions. This review delves into the mechanisms of statin action, emphasizing their impact on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, anti-inflammatory properties, and potential genetic factors influencing efficacy and drug tolerability. Consideration is given to statin intolerance and management strategies, drug interactions, and guidelines for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events.

Introduction: Shared decision-making (SDM) enables individually tailored treatment plans. This survey explored patients' and surgeons' perceptions of SDM in consultations on thyroid nodules. Furthermore, we aimed to explore possible discrepancies between the groups, identify factors influencing patients' perceived levels of SDM and evaluate decisional regret.
