Aim: This study identified significant factors affecting clinical teaching behavior among South Korean preceptor nurses.
Background: Preceptor nurses create a positive environment that helps new graduate nurses translate theoretical learning to clinical practice, facilitates their professional development, and increases their retention intention. However, few studies on preceptors' clinical teaching behavior, critical reflection competence, and clinical reasoning capabilities exist, and no studies have examined preceptor-preceptee work-ratios. We ascertained the critical reflection competence, clinical reasoning ability, and recognition of the importance of patient safety management of preceptor nurses, and analyzed the factors influencing their clinical teaching behavior.
Study Design: The study used a cross-sectional design.
Methods: Participants included 216 preceptor nurses in Seoul, Republic of Korea, who responded to an online questionnaire based on the Critical Reflection Competency Scale, Nurse Clinical Reasoning Scale, Perception of Importance of Patient Safety Management Scale, and Clinical Teaching Behavior Inventory. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0.
Results: Factors influencing clinical teaching behavior included the perception of importance of patient safety management (β = 0.35, p < .001), clinical reasoning (β = 0.34, p < .001), critical reflection (β = 0.17, p = .007), preceptor nurses' workload reduction (β = 0.12, p = .005), and the preceptor-preceptee work-match ratio of schedule alignment in shift rotations (β = 0.09, p = .042). These factors accounted for 66.7 % of the variance in preceptors' clinical teaching behavior (F = 48.81, p < .001).
Conclusion: We identified the perceptions of the importance of patient safety management, clinical reasoning competence, critical reflection competence, preceptor nurses' workload reduction, and the preceptor-preceptee work-match ratio as significant factors influencing preceptors' clinical teaching behavior. Our findings have implications for the development of training programs for nurses preparing for preceptorship to enhance their critical reflection capacity, competence in clinical reasoning, and perception of the importance of patient safety management. We recommend creating an organizational plan to alleviate the burden on preceptor nurses and establishing standardized protocols for preceptorship programs.
Tweetable Abstract: Our cross-sectional study identified significant factors affecting the clinical teaching behavior of Korean preceptor nurses in hospitals.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main causes of chronic liver disorders following liver transplantation. The prorenin receptor (PRR) plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism, and the hepatic dysregulation of PRR is associated with the upregulation of several molecular pathways, such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) that promotes hepatic lipogenesis and leads to lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by upregulation of lipogenic genes. PRR inhibition leads to a reduction in the hepatic expression of sortilin-1 and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels and down-regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and reduces fatty acids synthesis in hepatocytes.

Aim: To identify the barriers and enablers in the implementation of evidence-based physical activity (PA) programmes for the improvement of health outcomes among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to develop strategies for implementing this evidence in clinical practice.
Methods: A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted, integrating a descriptive qualitative research design with a cross-sectional survey. In-depth interview was used to collect the views and cognitions about physical activity from medical staff, leaders and pregnant women.

Introduction: The current standard of care of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), in addition to pharmacological treatment, includes regular exercise and patient education.(1) The primary goal of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to update the evidence of the effectiveness of education programs for patients with axial SpA (axSpA).
Methods: We systematically searched three databases, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science Core Collection, from January 2000 to June 2023, using the following terms: "patient education", "patient counselling", "patient teaching", "patient engaging", "patient empowerment", "health education", "spondyloarthritis", "spondyloarthropaties", "spondylitis" and "ankylosing spondylitis".

Objectives: Published clinical reasoning curricula are limited, and measuring curricular impact has proven difficult. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a broad-reaching, multi-level reasoning curricula by measuring utilization of clinical reasoning terminology in published abstracts.
Methods: In 2014, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) created a clinical reasoning curriculum with interventions at the student, resident, and faculty levels with the goal of bringing reasoning education to the forefront.
