Article Abstract

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Novice Nursing Practitioner Role Transition (K-NNPRT) scale.

Methods: This scale was developed through forward translation, expert panel endorsement, and back translation and revised based on cognitive interviews. Data for the psychometric test were collected from 248 nurses who provide advanced care in Korea. The construct validity was tested based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistency reliability, and criterion-related validity.

Results: The final version of the scale consisted of 33 items across four domains identified through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, with convergent and discriminant validity deemed acceptable. Criterion-related validity was supported by a positive correlation with the job satisfaction scale (r = 0.59). Internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's α = 0.93 for the total items and McDonald's Ω = 0.92 for all items.

Conclusions: The K-NNPRT scale has demonstrated psychometrically valid and reliable. It is valuable instrument for assessing and understanding the degree of transition of new advanced practice nurses.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorder (SCD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication that hinder social adaptation, with limited pharmacological options for therapy owing to the absence of identified biomarkers. Individuals with ASD or SCD require lifelong interventions tailored to their development stages. However, most existing interventions primarily focus on early childhood, leaving adolescents relatively underserved.

September 2025

Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Jinju, Republic of Korea; Department of Neurology, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju, Republic of Korea.

Objective: To compare parenting stress between parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DDs) and to examine ASD's influence on parenting stress through mediation analysis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 48 children with ASD (ASD group) and 77 with non-ASD DDs (non-ASD group), along with one of their parents, at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital between May 2021 and August 2024. All underwent developmental assessments and completed the Korean version of the Parenting Stress Index-4 and the Child Interactive Behavior Test (CIBT).

Introduction: The role of triglycerides in Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) progression remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how triglyceride levels influence the relationship between amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition, hippocampal atrophy, and cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage ADD.

Methods: A total 188 older adults (170 with MCI, 18 with early ADD) from the Gwangju Alzheimer's Disease and Related cohort underwent amyloid PET and structural magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Research on the relationship between physical activity and medical expenses among individuals with obesity has been sparse. This study investigates that association using nationwide data from Korea.

Methods: We analyzed data from the National Sample Cohort of the Korean National Health Insurance Service, including 112,531 adults with obesity who underwent at least two health screenings within a 2-year interval between 2009 and 2015.
