Resilience Mediates Impact of Some Childhood Maltreatment on Post ‐Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Conscripted Marines in the Republic of Korea
This study was designed to examine whether resilience mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and PTSS in 169 Korean conscripts into the Marine Corps. In a cross‐sectional study design, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire—Short Form was used to measure childhood maltreatment, including abuse and neglect. The Impact of Event Scale—Revised and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale were used to measure PTSS and resilience. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. Half the conscripts reported at least one type of childhood maltreatment, and 22.3% had high PTSS, even in a short period of s...

Association of Temporal Variations in Staffing With Hospital ‐Acquired Pressure Injury in Military Hospitals
Abstract
To more precisely evaluate the effects of nurse staffing on hospital‐acquired pressure injury (HAPI) development, data on nursing care hours per patient day (NCHPPD), nursing skill mix, patient turnover (i.e., admissions, transfers, and discharges), and patient acuity were merged with patient information from pressure injury prevalence surveys that were collected annually for the Military Nursing Outcomes Database (MilNOD) project. The MilNOD included staffing and adverse events from 56 medical‐surgical, stepdown, and critical care units in 13 military hospitals over a 4‐year‐period. Data on 1,643 patients...

Vietnamese Version of Diabetes Self ‐Management Instrument: Development and Psychometric Testing
Abstract
Self‐management plays a vital role in diabetes management for adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While there are many people with T2DM in Vietnam, clinical understanding of diabetes self‐management (DSM) in this context is limited due to the lack of a valid measurement instrument. Translation and back‐translation processes were used to translate the Diabetes Self‐Management Instrument (DSMI) into Vietnamese. Then, translation equivalence, face validity, construct validity, and internal consistency were assessed in a sample of 198 Vietnamese adults with T2DM. The Cronbach's alpha of the V‐DSMI was .92, w...

Age as a Risk Factor for Burnout Syndrome in Nursing Professionals: A Meta ‐Analytic Study
Abstract
Although past research has highlighted the possibility of a direct relationship between the age of nursing professionals and burnout syndrome, results have been far from conclusive. The aim of this study was to conduct a wider analysis of the influence of age on the three dimensions of burnout syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) in nurses. We performed a meta‐analysis of 51 publications extracted from health sciences and psychology databases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 47 reports of information on emotional exhaustion in 50 samples, 39 reports on ...

Reducing Stroke Risk Among Young Adult African Americans: A Feasibility Study
Abstract
African Americans are disproportionately affected by stroke and its modifiable risk factors, and strategies are needed to help African Americans adopt healthy lifestyles early in life. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of the Stroke Counseling for Risk Reduction (SCORRE) intervention, a tailored, theory‐based intervention consisting of a motivational video of young African American stroke survivors, the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7® (LS7) risk assessment and education tool, and a 6‐week behavioral risk reduction diary. Feasibility and changes in theoretical variables were...

Impact of Individual and Neighborhood Factors on Cardiovascular Risk in White Hispanic and Non ‐Hispanic Women and Men
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality for adults in the US, regardless of ethnicity. A cross‐sectional correlational design was used to describe and compare CVD risk and cardiac mortality in White Hispanic and non‐Hispanic women and men. Data from 3,317 individuals (1,523 women and 1,794 men) hospitalized for non‐cardiac causes during 2012–2013, and data from the 2010 United States Census were included. The sex‐specific 10‐year Framingham General Cardiovascular Risk Score (FRS‐10) was used to estimate long‐term risk for major cardiac events. Approximately three‐quarters o...

The Caregiver Contribution to Heart Failure Self ‐Care (CACHS): Further Psychometric Testing of a Novel Instrument
Abstract
Caregivers (CGs) contribute important assistance with heart failure (HF) self‐care, including daily maintenance, symptom monitoring, and management. Until CGs’ contributions to self‐care can be quantified, it is impossible to characterize it, account for its impact on patient outcomes, or perform meaningful cost analyses. The purpose of this study was to conduct psychometric testing and item reduction on the recently developed 34‐item Caregiver Contribution to Heart Failure Self‐care (CACHS) instrument using classical and item response theory methods. Fifty CGs (mean age 63 years ±12.84; 70% female) rec...
