Aim: This study aims to adapt the "Nursing Practice Readiness Scale" to Turkish culture, and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Background: New graduates' nursing practice readiness can impact their work adaptation and performance.
Design: The research employed a methodological design.
Methods: Data were collected between May and July 2022. The sample consisted of 436 newly graduated nurses. Content validity, construct validity and criterion validity were evaluated. Reliability was examined with adjusted item-total correlation, Cronbach's a coefficient, composite-reliability and split-half reliability.
Results: The Turkish version of Nursing Practice Readiness Scale was found to have good content and criterion validity. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the original five-factor structure of the scale was also confirmed for the Turkish version. The scale's overall Cronbach's α coefficient was determined to be 0.96, with subscale coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.94. The composite reliability values of the subscales were found between 0.75 and 0.94. In split-half reliability, the correlation coefficient between half was 0.952, with a Spearman-Brown Coefficient (Unequal Length) of 0.976.
Conclusions: The Turkish version of Nursing Practice Readiness Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating the nursing practice readiness of newly graduated nurses.

Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of homelessness shortly before or during pregnancy and describe differences in maternal characteristics and adverse birth outcomes between people reporting homelessness and not reporting homelessness.
Methods: We used 2016-2020 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data from 31 sites to estimate the prevalence of self-reported homelessness during the 12 months before giving birth. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the association between homelessness and adverse birth outcomes, specifically small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), and preterm birth (PTB).

Cardiac arrest is the most time-sensitive condition that personnel face in the emergency department. Optimal management consists of good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the simultaneous performance of focused investigations to identify potential reversible causes, and the delivery of cause-specific treatments. In order to manage patients with cardiac arrest in an efficient manner, team members need to have clearly defined roles and ready access to required equipment.
