Background/objectives: Basic psychological needs are essential for fostering motivation, self-regulated behaviors, and overall well-being. For cancer survivors, fulfilling these needs is crucial for coping with the various challenges of survivorship and for enhancing psychosocial health. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (K-BPNSFS) in a cancer survivor population.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 367 community-dwelling cancer survivors. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis with multiple fit indices, while convergent validity was examined through Pearson's correlation coefficients. Reliability was evaluated using internal consistency, inter-item correlations, and item-total correlations.
Results: The findings confirmed a robust six-factor structure of the K-BPNSFS, which includes satisfaction and frustration dimensions corresponding to autonomy, relatedness, and competence needs. Convergent validity was supported by significant correlations with relevant constructs, aligning with the scale's theoretical underpinnings. Reliability analysis demonstrated high internal consistency across all dimensions, with strong Cronbach's alpha values and substantial item-total and inter-item correlations.
Conclusions: This study establishes the K-BPNSFS as a valid, reliable, and culturally relevant instrument for assessing the basic psychological needs of Korean cancer survivors. Application of this scale provides critical insights into the unique psychological needs of this population, supporting the development of targeted healthcare strategies to enhance intrinsic motivation, self-care, and overall quality of life.

Burns are complex traumatic injuries that lead to severe physical and psychological problems due to the prolonged healing period and resulting physical scars. Owing to their versatility, hydrogels can be loaded with various functional factors, making them promising wound dressings. However, many hydrogel dressings cannot support cell survival for a long time, thereby delaying the process of tissue repair.

Introduction: The transition from low to high altitude environments is associated with a multifaceted series of physiological and psychological alterations that manifest over time. These changes are intricately intertwined, with physiological acclimatization primarily mediated through the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which orchestrates the expression of critical molecules and hormones. This process extends to encompass the epigenome, metabolism, and other regulatory mechanisms.

This article aims to reconceptualize the replication crisis as not merely a problem of flawed methods, lack of scientific rigor, or questionable researcher conduct, but as a fundamentally epistemological and philosophical issue. While improved methodologies and scientific practices are necessary, they must be considered through the lens of the underlying epistemologies. Toward this end, a new paradigm for psychological research and practice, grounded in second-order cybernetics and transactional causality, is proposed as instrumental.

The authors explored how faculty describe changing from lecture to active learning and how that change relates to the loci of control and basic psychological needs of faculty.
Method: Using a phenomenographic approach, the authors interviewed faculty at 3 medical schools who taught before, during, and after required shifts to active learning.

Background: Web-based concussion self-management education programs for adolescents can improve functional outcomes, reduce concussion symptoms, and increase self-efficacy. However, there are a limited number of studies examining the perceptions and acceptance of these programs and the use of these tools in the adult concussion population.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the perceptions and acceptance of clinicians and adults with concussions using MyGuide Concussion (Vancouver Coastal Health), a web-based concussion self-management tool.
