Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS-3) in an Austrian context: validation of a scale and reliability assessment.

Background: The Nurses Professional Values Scale-3 (NPVS-3) is a psychometric instrument derived from a set of values initially established by the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics. The present study evaluates the reliability of the NPVS-3 scale for nursing students and nurses in Austria.

Methods: A cross-sectional methodological study was conducted on 209 research participants, comprising 139 nursing students and 70 nurses, with the objective of determining the reliability of the Austrian version of the scale.

Development of clinical items to identify dysphagia in patients with dementia-An e-Delphi study.

Aim: To identify clinical observable items that can be used to identify dysphagia while observing a typical eating situation.

Design: A three-round e-Delphi survey.

Methods: An expert panel consisting of five nurses, eight speech language therapists and five physicians participated in this three-round e-Delphi survey from November 2022 to January 2023.

Kinesthetic vs. visual focus: No evidence for effects of practice modality in representation types after action imagery practice and action execution practice.

Action-imagery practice (AIP) is assumed to result in partly different action representations than action-execution practice (AEP). The present study investigated whether focusing on either kinesthetic or visual aspects of a task during practice amplifies or diminishes such differences between AIP and AEP. In ten sessions, four groups, using either AIP or AEP with either kinesthetic or visual focus, practiced a twelve-element sequence in a unimanual serial reaction time task.

Hand and Foot Selection in Mental Body Rotations Involves Motor-Cognitive Interactions.

Action imagery involves the mental representation of an action without overt execution, and can contribute to perspective taking, such as that required for left-right judgments in mental body rotation tasks. It has been shown that perspective (back view, front view), rotational angle (head-up, head-down), and abstractness (abstract, realistic) of the stimulus material influences speed and correctness of the judgement. The present studies investigated whether left-right judgements are more difficult on legs than on arms and whether the type of limb interacts with the other factors.
