Aim/objective: To explore the impact of psychological resilience and its dimensions on professional commitment among caregiving students in Taiwan.
Background: Professional commitment is crucial in caregiving professions, yet its relationship with psychological resilience among caregiving students in Taiwan remains underexplored. Understanding this relationship can guide educational strategies to enhance students' professional commitment.
Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
Methods: The study included 258 students from 23 colleges specializing in caregiver programs in Taiwan in 2021. A stratified random sampling method was used. Data were collected using the Resilience Scale for Adults (measuring dimensions like personal strengths, social resources, and family resources) and the Professional Commitment Scale. Validity and reliability were confirmed through expert review, item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and internal consistency analysis.
Results: Personal strengths emerged as the strongest predictor of professional commitment (β = 0.26), followed by participation in extracurricular activities (β = 0.13). Background factors such as college type and experience in campus club explained 13 % of the variance in professional commitment (adjusted R = 0.13). Future organizational style, family resources, and personal strengths explained an additional 2.0 %, 2.0 %, and 3.0 % of the variance, respectively, leading to a total explanatory power of 24.0 %.
Conclusions: To improve caregivers' future professional commitment, it is recommended that caregiving programs focus on enhancing students' psychological resilience and encourage their participation in extracurricular activities.

The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs).
Methods: The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.

The Alaska Tribal Health System is increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among Alaska Native (AN) peoples, who experience the highest CRC rate in the world. Through a clinical trial (NCT04336397), AN people living in rural/remote Alaska were offered either the previously unavailable multi-target stool DNA test (mt-sDNA; Cologuard) or colonoscopy. From April 2022 to August 2024, 113 (59%) people who completed mt-sDNA testing and 51 (39%) who completed a colonoscopy procedure participated in a survey on factors influencing their screening test choice.
