This study proposes an integrated analysis in evaluating the role of a mediating variable. An integrated method of structural equation modeling and causal steps was employed. The procedure commenced with the conceptual model and hypotheses development, followed by validity and reliability tests using International Business Machines (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 25. Then confirmatory and regression analyses were carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), for model modification. Finally, the causal steps method was employed to evaluate the role of the mediating variable.•This method integrates the use of SEM and causal steps•It includes the validation of the model, variables, and constructs•Also, it involves model modification.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) often impair daily activities and mental health (MH), which contribute to long-term TBI-related disability. PTE also affects driving capacity, which impacts functional independence, community participation, and satisfaction with life (SWL). However, studies evaluating the collective impact of PTE on multidimensional outcomes are lacking.

The International Trauma Interview (ITI) is a clinician-administered assessment that has been newly developed for the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) diagnoses of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the ITI for treatment-seeking people with adverse childhood experiences (ACE) in South Korea, with the aims of verifying the validity and reliability of ITI as well as examining the differentiation of ICD-11 CPTSD and borderline personality disorder (BPD). In total, data of 103 people were analysed.

Intensive longitudinal data analysis, commonly used in psychological studies, often concerns outcomes that have strong floor effects, that is, a large percentage at its lowest value. Ignoring a strong floor effect, using regular analysis with modeling assumptions suitable for a continuous-normal outcome, is likely to give misleading results. This article suggests that two-part modeling may provide a solution.

Background: Nursing leadership is recognized as essential to fostering innovation in hospitals, while the precise relationship between them has yet to be established.

Aim: The objective of this study is to examine the association among leadership in nursing research, research motivation, perceived barriers, and innovation behavior of junior nurses who hold a master's degree or above in the hospital.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted and electronic questionnaires were distributed online.
