We define guideline implementability as the characteristics of the guideline that reflect the extent to which it is likely to be adopted in clinical practice. Improving the intrinsic quality (e.g., context, format, language etc.) of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) may be a cost-effective and broadly applicable approach. This study was aimed to develop the clinical practice guidelines implementability assessment tool (CPG-IAT) and test its psychometric properties. The study used the 2022 CPGs recorded in the STAR guideline repository as the evaluation sample. The evaluation team consisted of 60 members with clinical, guideline development, or prior rating experience, responsible for assessing the included guidelines. Guideline evaluation data were randomly assigned to be utilized for an exploratory factor analysis (n = 131) or for a confirmatory factor analysis (n = 130). Reliability and validity analyses were then conducted with the full sample. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 16-item tool with four dimensions representing Methodological Rigor and Transparency, Recommendation Clarity and Interpretability, clinical relevance and actionability. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a priori factor structure. The tool demonstrated excellent internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, construct reliability, split-half reliability, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability and pragmatic. The CPG-IAT provides a psychometrically validated instrument for assessing the intrinsic implementability of CPGs both during and after the guideline development process. The CPG-IAT contributes a systematically developed and empirically validated measure of guideline implementability, with potential to inform future research and practice aimed at enhancing the translation of evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice.

While influenza vaccines are the most effective measure for preventing influenza, uptake rates in China remain relatively low. Rapid Verbal Persuasion (RVP), with highly rapid fashion, has a strong evidence base in promoting behavior change. Despite this, it is underused or rarely evaluated in the context of vaccination. Additionally, the success of RVP implementation in vaccination clinics hinges on the motivation of vaccination staff, which remains critical even with stable contextual factors. Multifaceted incentive-based implementation strategies, which aim to enhance motivation to promote the implementation of evidence-based practices, could be advantageous. This study protocol outlines an implementation-effectiveness hybrid type 2 design to evaluate the effectiveness of both the incentive-based implementation strategies on implementation outcomes and RVP on increasing influenza vaccination rates. This study will be conducted as a two-tiered cluster of randomized controlled trials over three months. Initially, 32 vaccination clinics will be randomly allocated to one of two study arms: (a) implementation of RVP or (b) no implementation. At the end of the study period, differences in influenza vaccination status between the intervention and control groups will be compared (primary outcome). Subsequently, a cluster randomized factorial trial will be conducted, involving 16 clinics implementing RVP. This trial will aim to compare the impact of various implementation strategies (different combinations of incentives) on fidelity in RVP implementation (primary outcome). Data collection for the primary outcomes will include unannounced exit interviews. Modified Poisson regression models and generalized linear mixed-effects models will be utilized to analyze the association between primary outcomes and interventions. The study aims to enhance the influenza vaccination rate in China by developing financial and non-financial incentives that allow vaccination staff to deliver RVP with greater motivation. Furthermore, the evidence generated from this multi-center trial will assist policymakers in improving current incentive systems within immunization services. Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.

Aims to explore factors that can influence proactive health behaviors in pre-frailty older adults. Design this is a qualitative content analysis study. Methods data collected through interviews with 20 pre-frailty older adults in a geriatric unit at a general hospital in Guangzhou, China. We used deductive content analysis to categorize codes and calculate their frequency based on the theory of planned behavior. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze data that could not be analyzed according to the theory of planned behavior. Results the data were analyzed and grouped into categories by beliefs similarity, counted from the frequencies. The factors of 6 behavioral beliefs, 6 normative beliefs, and 14 control beliefs were issued. Six themes emerged, including positive attitudes toward proactive health behaviors outcomes, lack of proactive health awareness the negative influence of children on proactive health behaviors, lack of knowledge of proactive health behaviors, spouses play an important role in proactive health behaviors, low resistance to unhealthy behavior. Conclusion this research will support to the construction of a psychometric scale to measure the intentions of proactive health behaviors in pre-frailty older adults. These influencing factors will also help us to develop measures to improve the ability of pre-frailty older adults to be proactive health in the future. Impact this research validates and extends the theory of planned behavior. The findings of factors influencing proactive health behaviors help us to develop strategies to enhance proactive health in pre-frailty older adults in the future. These findings also provide content for the construction of the psychometrics of proactive health intentions scales. Reporting Method this study follows the COREQ reporting norms.
This qualitative study aimed to gain an understanding of what it means to live with ischemic heart disease for individuals who perceive health as beyond their control and how these individuals navigate their choices regarding adhering or not adhering to self-management behavior. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Content analysis was employed to identify themes and subthemes in the interview data. The theme, "attribution of ischemic heart disease," revealed that the participants attributed their condition to lifestyle, critical events, and the natural aging process. The theme, "experiences of self-management," highlighted the different behaviors among participants who perceived health to be beyond their control. The theme, "barriers and facilitators," identified factors such as a strong sense of responsibility toward family members, the work environment, and access to medical resources. Our study showed that despite perceiving their health to be beyond their control, some individuals may still adhere to self-management practices. Understanding factors such as "attribution" and "barriers and facilitators" can provide nurses with insights into the patients' decisions to adhere or not adhere to self-management behaviors.
Objective To explore the care experiences of spouses as long-term and primary caregivers for disabled older adults in China. Methods A descriptive phenomenological method was used in this study, as well as purposive and convenient sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 spousal caregivers in Guangdong, China, from March to December 2021. Interview audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method. Results We identified four themes from the data: spousal care motivation; sacrifices in caregiving; obstacles in caregiving; spousal caregivers’ positive experiences. Conclusions Spouses took responsibility for providing care for their disabled partners regardless of their willingness. They had positive experiences while providing care, but negative experiences were dominant, especially for spouses of severely disabled older adults. Spouses are always perfect in caregiving roles, although they may also need medical assistance. To prevent a decline in spousal caregivers’ quality of life and relieve their care burdens, health care providers should support them as soon as possible or offer formal care for disabled older adults. It is necessary to intervene considering disabled older adults and their spousal caregivers as a unit to empower their confidence in coping with life together.
Introduction Ischaemic heart disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Self-management is a way to reduce the risk associated with ischaemic heart disease; however, some individuals may not have the ability or willingness to engage in self-management behaviours. One approach to identify an individual’s readiness and capacity to engage in self-management behaviours is to assess their health locus of control. Based on the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory, this review’s objectives are to describe: (1) how health locus of control affects the process of engaging in self-management behaviours, (2) impacts of health locus of control on outcomes associated with self-management behaviours and (3) potential contextual variations in the relationship between health locus of control and self-management behaviours.Methods and analysis The scoping review will be guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework. A comprehensive search will encompass seven electronic databases (Ovid Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, APA PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus) and grey literature sources (ProQuest Dissertations, ClinicalTrials.gov). Collaborative efforts with library experts will inform our search strategies, building on insights from previous reviews centred on self-management and ischaemic heart disease. Two review authors will independently conduct the screening and data extraction processes; discrepancies will be resolved through consensus or discussion with a third review author. The review will include English studies from database inception, focusing on the health locus of control among adults with ischaemic heart disease. Findings will be presented graphically and tabularly, together with a narrative description.Ethics and dissemination We will collect data from published and grey literature, meaning ethical approval is not necessary. Findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at academic conferences.Registration details Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/B4A6F).
The stress of disability significantly impacts an individual's quality of life and that of a spouse. Health empowerment, based on the idea that individuals may be successful despite disability, may be meaningful to disabled persons and their spouse carers. This cross-sectional survey study aimed to explore the effect of health empowerment on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of older individuals with disabilities and their spouse carers on both a personal (actor effect) and interpersonal level (partner effect). A total of 1092 dyads of older individuals with disabilities and their spouse carers residing in communities were recruited from seven provinces in China. Two separate Actor-Partner Interdependence Model analyses were conducted to examine the impact of health empowerment on the two domains of HRQOL: the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS). The results revealed that health empowerment had actor effects on the PCS and MCS of older individuals with disabilities, as well as on the PCS and MCS of their spouse carers. However, no significant partner effects of health empowerment on the PCS and MCS of either the individuals with disabilities or their spouse caregivers were observed. Empowering individuals with disabilities and their spouse carers may help them enhance their own HRQOL, both physically and mentally. However, more research is required to determine the interpersonal effect of health empowerment on the HRQOL.
The aim of this study was to explore the chain mediation model of self-efficacy and health literacy between empowerment and quality of life among spousal caregivers of disabled elderly based on 'Marriage Binding'. From December 2020 to June 2022, the cross-sectional study was conducted in hospitals and communities, in Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces, China. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographic data and four main variables, including empowerment, self-efficacy, health literacy and quality of life. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the four main research variables. Multiple Linear Regression and bootstrap analysis were used to analyze the direct and indirect effects among them. Any two variables of spousal caregivers were correlated among empowerment, self-efficacy, health literacy and quality of life. Self-efficacy and health literacy can separately and sequentially mediate the relationship between empowerment and quality of life. To improve the quality of life of spousal caregivers of disabled elderly, the mediating role of self-efficacy, the mediating role of health literacy and the chain mediating role of self-efficacy and health literacy should take effect. In the future, some intervention studies should be taken to enhance the effects of those variables that may be beneficial for improving quality of life of spousal caregivers of disabled elderly.

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS:As a critical form of stroke damage, aphasia negatively impacts stroke patients' return to society. Speech and language intervention has been found to assist in optimizing poststroke aphasia patient outcomes; consequently, early identification and diagnosis are vital for poststroke aphasia to ensure that patients receive the rehabilitation they require. This project aimed to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in the assessment and screening of stroke patients with aphasia and to improve the clinical outcomes of patients who suffer from poststroke aphasia in a large tertiary hospital. METHODS:The current evidence implementation project was conducted in the neurology and rehabilitation departments of a tertiary hospital in China. Six audit criteria were developed for the baseline and follow-up audits. The project used the JBI PACES software, as well as JBI's Getting Research into Practice audit and feedback tool, to foster evidence-based healthcare in practice. RESULTS:Although the performance of all evidence-based criteria during the baseline audit was poor, barriers were identified through baseline, and the project team carried out and implemented developed strategies following Getting Research into Practice resources. All the criteria improved from baseline after the follow-up cycle, with four out of six criteria achieving a compliance rate of 100%, and two evidence-based criteria recorded at 73 and 80% compliance, respectively. CONCLUSION:The current project successfully increased EBP for the assessment and screening of stroke patients with aphasia. Further studies are needed to ensure the project's long-term sustainability.

AIMS:To explore the role of self-efficacy (SE) in the effect of patient empowerment on self-management behaviours among patients with chronic illness and to investigate the moderating effect of three types of health locus of control (HLC) in this moderated mediation model.DESIGN:Cross-sectional design.METHODS:Data were collected in a general tertiary hospital, and a sample of 254 patients was recruited between August and October 2020. The effect of moderation and mediation was tested by the PROCESS macro (Model 4 and Model 8) for SPSS 25.0 by Hayes using 5000 bootstrap samples.RESULTS:Self-efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between patient empowerment and self-management behaviour with a 95% confidence interval excluding zero. The chance HLC demonstrated a moderating effect, and the interaction effect on SE and self-management behaviour was significant.CONCLUSION:Patient empowerment may improve confidence and adherence to self-management among people with chronic illness, and such benefits were conditional on the HLC of patients.IMPACT:This study addresses the relationship between patient empowerment and self-management behaviour in patients with different personality characteristics. This result indicated that classifying the type of HLC may enable the identification of subgroups of patients who may subsequently benefit from patient empowerment. In a patient-centred programme, nurses and other healthcare professionals correctly identifying patients' HLC type and understanding the implications and then providing appropriate health care plans for patients with different health beliefs may be useful to tailor the decision-making process.

PURPOSE The confidence in a study will be reduced due to the incorrect representation of statistical results. However, it is unknown to what extent p values are incorrectly represented in published nursing journals. The study aims to evaluate the articles in 30 nursing journals in terms of the error in reporting of p values (p = .000). DESIGN AND METHODS This was a bibliometric analysis. All papers published in 10 leading nursing journals (between 2015 and 2019), the 10 bottom nursing journals (2019), and 10 selected key nursing journals (2019) indexed in the Science Citation Index Journal Citation Reports were reviewed to detect errors in reporting of p values (p = .000). RESULTS A total of 3,788 papers were reviewed. Notably, it was found that 93.3% (28/30) of the nursing journals contained incorrect representation of p values (p = .000). The reporting rate of these journals ranges from 0% to 57.1%, with an overall rate of 12.8% (486/3,788). In addition, the rate of incorrect representation of p values (p = .000) showed no statistically significant difference between different publication years (Χ2 = 4.976, p = .290). However, the rate of reporting was different between study types, journals, and regions (p = .007, p = .020, and p < .001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The incorrect representation of p values is common in nursing journals. CLINICAL RELEVANCE We recommend that both publishers and researchers be responsible for preventing statistical errors in manuscripts. Furthermore, various kinds of statistical training methods should be adopted to ensure that nurses and journal reviewers have enough statistical literacy.
