Article Abstract
Objective: Skin tears (STs) are acute cutaneous trauma and have become an increasingly common global health problem. International studies have shown barriers to the prevention and management of ST and the relevance of the role of nurses in implementation. The purpose of this study was to adapt an existing tool to measure nurses' knowledge of the prevention, assessment, and management of STs.
Methods: Skin tear knowledge assessment instrument (OASES) is a knowledge survey tool for skin lacerations developed by Van Tiggelen et al. in 2020. The standard Chinese version of OASES was formed by translating and cross-cultural adaption of source tools following Brislin's translation model, and content validity and translation quality were determined by Delphi method. A psychometric assessment of 341 nurses was then performed to assess item difficulty, discrimination, and quality of response selection in the standard Chinese version of OASES. In addition, construct validity was established by test-retest procedures and known-group techniques.
Results: The standard Chinese version had good content validity and moderate difficulty. It was found that the discrimination was very good: all groups with higher professional level (theoretically expected) scored significantly higher than those with lower professional level (theoretically expected). The stability of the tool was sufficient.
Conclusions: The standard Chinese version of OASES exhibits good psychometric properties and can be used and disseminated to nurses in a Chinese cultural context to assess knowledge about STs. However, it should be noted that the tool was only validated with nurses in cancer hospitals.

Objective: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) peaks between the ages of 15 and 40. This age range coincides with women of childbearing age (WCBA), who face unique challenges like adverse pregnancy outcomes and heightened anxiety. Despite the rising global prevalence of IBD, particularly among younger populations, the burden of IBD among women, especially WCBA, remains underexplored.

Objective: This study examined the content validity of EQ-5D for Chinese patients with DMD. Specifically, it investigated: (1) the content validity of EQ-5D-5L in adult DMD patients and (2) the content validity of EQ-5D-Y-3L (Y-3L) in DMD patients aged 8-15 years.
Method: This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews and conducted one-on-one and online, with two groups of individuals with DMD to examine the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L and Y-3L.
Integrating traditional Chinese medicine into disease management in Singapore.
Ann Acad Med Singap
August 2025
National Neuroscience Institute, Singapore.
Introduction: While traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history and continues to be widely practised, its overall clinical efficacy according to conventional scientific standards remains the topic of ongoing research and exploration. This review focuses on the potential use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in combination with Western medicine in Singapore, based on recently published data on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these TCM treatments.
Method: We collated and summarised 71 research papers published in the past decade, focusing on randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and population-based cohort studies that had a total sample size (treatment and control arms) exceeding 60.

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.
