Objective: This study aimed to develop the Chinese version of the totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) self-management behavior scale for patients with cancer to provide a reliable tool for medical staff to judge patients with TIVAP self-management behavior.
Methods: This study employed a mixed-method exploratory design. The initial scale was developed through a literature review, expert meetings, and two-round Delphi expert consultation. The reliability indicators included retest reliability and Cronbach's alpha coefficients. The validity indicators included content, construct, convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed for the validity analysis; 22 venous therapy experts participated in the Delphi expert consultation. A total of 500 patients were recruited from two third-class A hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, between July 2020 and January 2021 to test reliability and validity. A convenience sampling method was adopted.
Results: The final scale comprised seven dimensions and 29 items. The content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.990. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and retest reliability of the scale were 0.931 and 0.900, respectively. The EFA results indicated a seven-factor structure, accounting for 65.68% of the total data variance. The results of the CFA showed that the CMIN/DF value was 2.348; the root mean square error of approximation value was 0.06; and the values of comparative fit index, incremental fit index, and Tucker-Lewis index were all >0.90. The factor loadings for all the items were >0.50, the composite reliability value was >0.70, and the average variance extracted (AVE) value was >0.50. Moreover, all absolute values of the correlation coefficients were less than the square root of the AVE for the seven dimensions. The total scores between the health promoting lifestyle profile-II revise (HPLP-IIR) and CPTSMBS were positively correlated (r = 0.465, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The scale demonstrated good reliability and validity and can be applied in clinical practice to evaluate self-management behavior among patients using a TIVAP.

The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the emergence of various forms of mutual aid. While prior research has demonstrated that mutual aid can contribute to participants' subjective well-being, the majority of these studies are qualitative and lack clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Using a questionnaire survey and structural equation modeling, this study finds that mutual aid significantly enhances the subjective well-being of participants in China.

Purpose: The present study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of external and personal regulatory mechanisms in reducing procrastination behavior among university students. For this purpose, the role of teachers' academic motivation is worthwhile in shaping the learning environment and reducing procrastination, with a focus on the mediating roles of emotion regulation and study habits considered imperative.
Research Design/method: By employing a quantitative, cross-sectional research design, data were collected from a sample of 210 teachers working in universities located in Multan-Pakistan via convenient sampling, yielding a usable response rate of 70.

Background: As depressed patients often fail to seek help and obtain treatment on time for reasons such as stigma and lack of treatment resources, research on self-management for depressed patients is crucial. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing self-management in depression patients from the perspectives of both patients and psychiatric nurses.
Methods: Six depression patients and twelve psychiatric nurses were chosen for semi-structured interviews through a purposive sampling method from a tertiary Grade A psychiatric hospital in Shandong Province, China.

Objectives: Develop a primary health care-based nurse-led culturally tailored hypertension self-care intervention for rural residents.
Design: The culturally tailored hypertension self-care intervention was developed using a six-step intervention mapping approach that involved: needs assessment using literature review and interviews; setting program goals using integrated thematic synthesis method; selecting intervention modules through the process dimension of the self-care theory of chronic illness; producing program components and materials by developing intervention modules using the motivational interviewing and behavior change techniques; planning program adoption by encouraging sustainable behavior; and evaluation using the education content validity index in health and the intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility scale.
Measurements: Education content validity index in health and the intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility scale.
