Article Abstract
Background: The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) was designed to assess the readiness of patients for discharge. The original English-language instrument has shown high degrees of reliability and validity, but no Chinese version of the scale has been verified.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate the RHDS into Chinese and assess the psychometric properties of this scale on laryngectomy patients in China.
Methods: The RHDS was translated into Chinese using forward and back translation, semantic equivalence assessment, and pilot testing. The content and construct validity, internal consistency, and internal reliability of the translated scale were assessed using exploratory factor analysis and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: The content validity index of the developed Chinese version of the RHDS was .97, with the content validity indexes of RHDS items ranging between .75 and 1.00. The Cronbach's α coefficient for internal consistency was .97. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structural model. All correlations among the three factor subscales were significant. Pearson's correlation coefficients between subscale factors and the total scale ranged from .81 to .97.
Conclusions: The Chinese version of the RHDS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the discharge readiness of laryngectomy patients in China.

Associated Factors of Cognitive Frailty in People Living with HIV Aged 50 and Older: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Infect Dis Ther

Department of Nursing, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, 563000, China.
Introduction: Cognitive frailty (CF), which typically precedes dementia and functional decline, serves as a more robust predictor of adverse health outcomes compared to physical frailty alone, representing a critical challenge in promoting healthy aging among older people living with HIV (PLWH) aged ≥ 50 years. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and identify its associated factors among PLWH aged ≥ 50 years.
Methods: A convenience sample of 344 PLWH ≥ 50 years was recruited from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Zunyi, China.

Department of Diabetology and Internal Medicine, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland.
This review article, developed by the EASD Global Council, addresses the growing global challenges in diabetes research and care, highlighting the rising prevalence of diabetes, the increasing complexity of its management and the need for a coordinated international response. With regard to research, disparities in funding and infrastructure between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are discussed. The under-representation of LMIC populations in clinical trials, challenges in conducting large-scale research projects, and the ethical and legal complexities of artificial intelligence integration are also considered as specific issues.

University of California, Berkeley, USA.
The Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) has enjoyed global popularity due to its good balance of content coverage and brevity and has been officially translated into 12 languages in addition to the original English version. The current study aimed to further enhance the cultural accessibility of the BFI-2 by translating it into the Korean language and comprehensively validating the Korean version in two South Korean samples: working adults and college students. Across the two samples, the Korean BFI-2 demonstrated good reliability (e.
