Abstract

Background: Hope is essential for patients with acute myocardial infarction, which is often regarded as an active coping for those with life-threatening diseases. Higher hope consistently is related to better health outcomes. However, the instrument for assessing hope has not been previously tested among Thai patients. Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Hope Scale among Thai patients with acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods: This was an instrument validation study conducted from March to December 2020. A total of 213 patients with acute myocardial infarction were included and selected using a simple random sampling. The back-translation method was used to translate an English version to a Thai version of the scale. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cronbach’s alpha were used for construct validity and reliability. Results: The findings showed that the Cronbach’s alpha of the Thai version of the Hope Scale was acceptable (.75), and the scale consists of four factors, which explained 63.36 % of the total variance. Communalities in each factor ranged from .45 to .84. Overall, the appearance of the factor structures was reasonable and understandable. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Thai version of the Hope Scale were suitable for the measurement of hope in Thai patients. This scale can be used by nurses and others to assess hope in Thai patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract

Background: Consideration needs to be given to variables that impact the application of evidence-based nursing practice. Objective: This study aimed to generate and validate a structural model of factors predictive of evidence-based nursing practice. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used, with 612 registered nurses in the southern area of Saudi Arabia selected using a convenience sampling procedure. Data were collected during the period from November 2019 to January 2020 using valid and reliable questionnaires, including the novel Registered Nurses’ Competencies, Beliefs, Facilitators, Barriers, and Implementation of the Evidence-based Practice Questionnaire. A structural equation modeling technique was used for data analysis. Results: Evidence-based nursing practice was significantly influenced by nurses’ competency, beliefs, barriers, and facilitators. 38.75% of the variance was explained by all factors. Specifically, nurses’ beliefs partially mediated the relationship between nurses’ competency and the evidence-based application of nursing practice. In addition, the relationship between nurses’ beliefs and evidence-based application of nursing practice was partially mediated by organizational facilitators. Nurses’ competency and beliefs were significantly influenced by attending the workshop, education level, years of experience, and previous research work. Conclusion: The current study highlights the significant effect of personal and organizational variables toward the application of evidence-based nursing practice.

Abstract

Background: Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that disturbs physical and psychological health and the quality of life of persons with heart failure and their families. Physical activity is one of the essential self-care in persons with heart failure, which can decrease the exacerbation of the heart failure symptoms, increase activity tolerance, ability to accomplish daily activities, and improve quality of life. Objectives: This research aimed to determine the physical activity level among persons with heart failure and explore the relationship between physical activity and its related factors based on the self-and family management framework, including motivation, functional ability, family support, and perceived quality of patient-provider relationships. Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 70 participants who visited the Multidisciplinary Heart Failure Clinic of a university-affiliated hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, from December 2020 to May 2021. Participants were asked to complete five questionnaires that explored their physical activity and its related factors. Data were analyzed and reported using descriptive statistics and correlation coefficient, and the p-value of .05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The results showed most participants (78.50%) had a high physical activity level, and the other participants (21.50%) had a moderate physical activity level. Regarding the relationship between physical activity and its related factors, a total physical activity had a significant positive correlation with a functional ability (rs = .309, p < .05), and family support (r = .210, p < .05). While the physical activity had a positively non-significant correlation with motivation (r = .050, p > .05), and a negatively non-significant correlation with perceived quality of patient-provider relationships (r = -.049, p > .05). Conclusion: The research can be used to gain more understanding of physical activity among persons with heart failure. Nurses play an accountable role in promoting and providing appropriate interventions to constantly maintain and enhance physical activity as secondary prevention in persons with heart failure. Additionally, measuring physical activity using an objective measurement with the self-report should be considered for the favorable outcome.

Abstract

Background: Understanding the true world of children needs a special method. Using aesthetic expressions through artworks with reflections assists nurse researchers in exploring children’s feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in relation to their health and well-being. Objective: This article focuses on the use of aesthetic expressions as innovative data sources in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer. Method: The use of aesthetic expressions in Gadamerian hermeneutic phenomenology and aesthetics, by means of van Manen’s approach using draw and write, is examined as a suitable approach in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer. Results: The aesthetic expressions through the Draw-and-Write method of data generation were well-suited to a hermeneutic phenomenological study involving the group of Filipino children living with advanced cancer. The children drew images and figures of themselves, their families, classmates, friends, and teachers in several places and events during the series of two days. The drawings showed their facial expressions, home, parents, hospital stay, school activities, extracurricular activities, and other daily activities. Conclusion: Aesthetic expression linked to art and connected to human experience drew the participants into different realms and expanded their perceptual capacities so that the fullness of the meaning of the experience was appreciated. The understanding of the experience through aesthetic expression provided sensitivity to and awareness of the variation of experience among children with advanced cancer. It is hoped that this paper can contribute to an understanding of aesthetic expressions as pathways to understanding and support health professionals as they embark on their goal of creating or restoring a comfortable relationship with children.
