The Self-growth Process of Hospice Volunteers in Ningbo, China.

The development process of self-growth among Chinese hospice volunteers is poorly understood. This study aimed to explore and delineate their dynamic progression toward self-growth. This qualitative study used grounded theory to analyze semi-structured interview data using individual in-depth face-to-face interviews with 15 volunteers at a hospice care center in Ningbo, China, between January 2021 and January 2022.

Influence of inorganic ions on degradation capability of Fe-based metallic glass towards dyeing wastewater remediation.

Metallic glasses (MGs) are promising candidates for catalysts with high efficiency for dyeing wastewater remediation, due to their metastable nature, disordered structure, and large residual stresses. However, dyeing wastewater usually contains a high concentration of inorganic ions which may have adverse effects on the degradation process, while the impacts of these ions on MGs' degradation capability have often been overlooked and still remain unknown. Thus, the roles of inorganic ions (Cl, NO, SO, and HPO) on the degradation of azo dye by Fe-based MG with nominal composition of FeSiBCu were systematically investigated.

The development process of self-acceptance among Chinese women with breast cancer.

Aim: The development process of self-acceptance in breast cancer survivors is a dynamic process that is poorly understood. The objective of the present study was to explore and delineate the dynamic progression toward self-acceptance in Chinese women with breast cancer.

Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth face-to-face interviews with 20 women who had undergone treatment for breast cancer at the breast center in a large tertiary care hospital in Ningbo, China between September 2016 and June 2017.

The process of accepting breast cancer among Chinese women: A grounded theory study.

Purpose: To describe the process by which Chinese women accept living with breast cancer.

Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 18 Chinese women who completed breast cancer treatment. Data were collected from September 2014 to January 2015 at a large tertiary teaching hospital in Beijing, China.

Self-acceptance and associated factors among Chinese women with breast cancer.

Aims And Objectives: To identify self-acceptance and associated socio-demographic and disease factors among Chinese women with breast cancer.

Background: Although it is recognised that breast cancer can affect a woman's feelings of self-acceptance, there are few studies concerning the level of self-acceptance among women with breast cancer and factors associated with self-acceptance in this population.

Design: Cross-sectional research design.
