The mediating role of resilience in the relationship between empowerment and benefit finding among Chinese colorectal cancer patients.

This study aimed to assess the resilience, empowerment, and benefit finding of colorectal cancer patients in China and to examine the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between empowerment and benefit finding. Three hundred and eleven colorectal cancer patients were recruited from January to July 2023. The questionnaire included a general information questionnaire, a resilience scale (CD-RISC-10), a Chinese cancer empowerment questionnaire (CEQ), and a patient benefit finding scale (BFS).

Developing and Validating a Knowledge Questionnaire of Blood Sampling via Central Vascular Access Devices.

Central vascular access devices (CVADs) have become an important focus for safe practice in some patients. The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid knowledge questionnaire of blood sampling via CVADs for registered nurses by using both classical test theory (CTT) and Rasch analysis. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and the questionnaire was completed by 445 participants.

Effect of nurse-physician collaboration on the incidence of complications, negative emotions and quality of life in cervical cancer patients: a randomized controlled study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nurse-physician collaboration on the incidence of complications, anxiety and depression, quality of life, and satisfaction with nursing care among cervical cancer patients undergoing three-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy. In this randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, 92 eligible cervical cancer patients were equally divided into two groups upon admission. The control group was given routine nursing, and the intervention group received a nurse-physician collaboration in addition to routine care.

The p110α/ΔNp63α complex mutations in triple-negative breast cancer: Potential targets for transcriptional-based therapies.

Background: Hotspot mutations occurring in the p110α domain of the PIK3CA gene, specifically p110αH1047R/L increase tumor metastasis and cell motility in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). These mutations also affect the transcriptional regulation of ΔNp63α, a significant isoform of the p53 protein involved in cancer progression. This study attempts to investigate the transcriptional impact of p110αH1047R/L mutations on the PIK3CA/ΔNp63α complex in TNBC carcinogenesis.

Descriptive statistics of dataset from the meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis on prognostic significance of pre-treatment systemic hemato-immunological indices of cervical cancer patients.

In this study, we perform a meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis for the article entitled "Prognostic value of systemic hemato-immunological indices in uterine cervical cancer: A systemic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of observational studies." [1] We implemented quantitative meta-analyses and time series meta-regression analysis to determine whether systemic hemato-immunological indices, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), thrombocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (TLR), and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) are associated with an increased risk of cervical collision cancer. In all, 9558 patients from 22 studies were included after a systematic data search, performed comprehensively using the following databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane.

Validation of the Chinese Version of the Quality of Dying and Death Questionnaire for Family Members of ICU Patients.

Context: The quality of end-of-life care services directly affects the end-of-life quality of life of patients and their families. At present, there are no standard tools in China for assessing the quality of dying and death (QODD) of critical intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce the Chinese version of the QODD questionnaire for family members of ICU patients, after transcultural adaptation and validation, to provide an effective instrument for assessing the quality of end-of-life care of ICU patients in China, fill the gap in the evaluation of the quality of end-of-life care of critical ICU patients in China, and offer a theoretical basis and practical guidance during purposeful intervention.

Prognostic value of systemic hemato-immunological indices in uterine cervical cancer: A systemic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of observational studies.

Objective: To estimate the prognostic efficacy of several systemic hemato-immunological indices for the treatment of cervical cancer as well as to determine whether the systemic hemato-immunological indices are associated with an increased risk of cervical collision cancer.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify studies that evaluated the prognostic impact of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), thrombocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (TLR), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in cervical cancer patients. The endpoints were overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) and clinicopathologic parameters.

Bad Healthy State Compress Temporal Extension Both in Past and Future Orientations.

We examined how different health states and cancer-related depression influence time perception in temporal extension (TE) regarding the past and the future over individuals' entire lives. We used the magnitude estimation method to investigate TE (past and future) and long duration (20 years), and directly measured patients with cancer and their subjective feelings about their lives. In Experiment 1, we investigated whether there were differences in perceptions of TE between patients with cancer ( = 144) compared to a healthy control group ( = 208).

Do Future Limitation Perspective in Cancer Patients Predict Fear of Cancer Recurrence, Mental Distress, and the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Activity?

Life-threatening diseases (e.g., cancer) affect people's future time perspective (FTP) and affect their mental health.
