Article Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between nursing leadership styles and patient satisfaction in 4 public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The nonrandom convenience sampling method was used with 150 nurses who were involved in caring for 180 patients from 4 different hospitals in the central region of Saudi Arabia. Nursing leadership styles were assessed from nurses using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, while patient satisfaction was measured using the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire. Passive-avoidant (PA) leadership style was most prevalent among nurse managers (62.6%, n = 94) and was associated with the lowest patient satisfaction (m = 1.7, SD = 0.1), with ratings ranging from 0 (low satisfaction) to 4 (high satisfaction). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a statistically significant difference in patient satisfaction scores among leadership styles (F (3, 176) = 25.421, P < .001). The transactional leadership demonstrated higher mean scores (m = 2.7) compared to both the PA leadership style (m = 2.1) (MD = 0.60, SE = 0.071, P < .001, 95% CI [0.42, 0.79]) and the transformational leadership leadership style (m = 2.2) (MD = 0.54, SE = 0.10, P = .004, 95% CI [0.21, 0.88]). Conversely, the PA leadership style had lower mean scores (m = 2.1) than both the transactional leadership group (MD = 0.60, SE = 0.07, P < .001, 95% CI [0.42, 0.79]) and the outcome leadership style (m = 2.5) (MD = 0.37, SE = 0.09, P = .008, 95% CI [0.09, 0.65]). In Saudi Arabian public hospitals, PA leadership style was found to be the most prevalent among nurse managers, associated with the lowest levels of patient satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of nursing leadership styles in affecting patient satisfaction. Further research is needed to explore the specific strategies that can be employed to foster effective leadership styles for improved patient outcomes.

Impact of remote follow-up under an intelligent medical collaboration model on health promotion and clinical outcomes in patients with urinary calculi.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.

Background: Children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face structural and psychological barriers in accessing medical care, including economic costs, long wait times, and stress of attending new medical environments. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services to overcome these challenges. However, few studies have assessed the satisfaction levels of children and adolescents diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders and their caregivers when they use telepsychiatry, particularly in Japan.

Background: Patient-reported missed nursing care is a critical indicator of care quality, while existing research focuses on nurses' workload and resource constraints as primary triggers, the role of emotional and interpersonal factors during nurse-patient encounters remains underexplored.
Objectives: To examine how nurses' emotions and perceptions of patients' families jointly influence patient-reported missed nursing care, using the Emotions as Social Information (EASI) model.
Design: A multi-source, nested, diary study design.
Purpose: This study aims to validate the usefulness of T10-pelvic angle (T10PA) in predicting pelvic tilt (PT) restoration, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) development, and clinical outcomes after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 213 ASD patients who underwent fusion from the lower thoracic spine (T9 or T10) to the pelvis. T10PA was measured on 6-week postoperative radiographs as the angle between the center of T10 and the hip center, and from the hip center to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate.

Background: Recurrent hospitalizations present significant financial burdens and health risks. Poor communication and lack of personalized care are major contributors to preventable readmissions. This study examined whether brief, personal conversations between physicians and hospitalized -patients could reduce 1-week and 30-days post-discharge readmissions, and improve satisfaction.
