The health care research on spirituality has focused on patients. Less is known about the spiritual self-care of nurses who work with these patients in all types of challenging environments. Nurse spiritual self-care may be helpful in reducing workplace stress and burnout.

The purpose of this review was to provide a comprehensive understanding of the conceptual definitions, theory and measurement of nurse spiritual self-care as reflected in the current literature.

The review framework was aligned with the recommendations consistent with the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews.

Ten studies were included. Three included explicit definitions and five explicitly stated theories. Five quantitative, four qualitative, and one mixed measurement of concept were found.

This scoping review identified conceptualizations, theoretical frameworks, and measurements that can be foundational to future research in this area. Our paper highlights the need for further research on nurse spiritual self-care.

Close examination led to a diagnosis of parotid gland cancer, T4N0M0 Stage IVA, so total resection of the left parotid gland and left neck dissection were performed. Pathological examination led to a diagnosis of high-grade malignant-type mucoepidermoid, and chemoradiotherapy was performed as postoperative treatment. Fourteen days after completion of chemoradiotherapy, the patient was admitted to the hospital with headache and lack of appetite. Echocardiography showed a pericardial effusion and complete collapse of the right ventricle; cardiac tamponade was diagnosed, and pericardiocentesis was performed. The pericardial effusion was bloody, and a metastatic lesion was suspected, but cytological examination showed class IIIa. On day 33 of the illness, respiratory distress and hypotension were observed. A clot was seen covering the lower wall of the heart, and dilatation of the lower wall was significantly impaired. Pericardiotomy was performed on day 36. Pathological examination diagnosed cardiac metastasis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland. Although only 4 cases of parotid cancer have been reported as primary lesions of metastatic heart tumors, this case represents the world's first description of isolated parenchymal metastasis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland diagnosed by pericardial biopsy.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is a potential source of low back pain (LBP) in baseball players, who are more likely to be affected by loading of the SIJ in the throwing motion. However, the prevalence and characteristics of this condition have not been studied thoroughly. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of SIJ dysfunction among high school baseball players.

Participants comprised 891 high school baseball players who had undergone annual medical evaluations (a self-completed questionnaire and physical examination). The prevalence of SIJ dysfunction and associations with the measurements of the flexibility of the spine and lower extremities such as finger-floor-distance, straight-leg-raising angle, heel-buttock-distance, Thomas test, and passive range of motion of the hip were investigated.

Twenty-two of 891 subjects (2.5%) met our criteria for SIJ dysfunction. Twelve subjects (55%) exhibited throwing arm side symptoms more commonly than in the non-throwingmated prevalence of SIJ dysfunction among high school baseball players is 2.5%. There was a significant association between a limitation in hip internal rotation on the throwing arm side and SIJ dysfunction.

To assess the validity of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for depression and anxiety screening in primary care patients in Colombia.

A criterion validity study was conducted with 243 adults that had completed the HADS and were later assessed using the MINI as a gold standard. Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega and factor structure were applied through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). ROC curve analysis and Youden's statistic were used to determine the cut-off point.

Cronbach's α was reported to be 0.85 and 0.82 for McDonalds' ω. CFA supported a two-factor solution demonstrating satisfactory fit. Root mean square error of approximation=0.04, Comparative Fix Index (CFI) and Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI)=0.97. For HADS-A, the cut-off point was determined as 6 associated with a sensitivity of 0.76, a specificity of 0.72 and Youden's index of 0.50. The ABC was 0.81. For HADS-D, the cut-off point was determined as 4 associated with a sensitivity of 0.78, a specificity of 0.74 and Youden's index of 0.53. The ABC was 0.82.

The HADS is a valid and reliable instrument for anxiety and depression screening in adult patients of primary healthcare services in Colombia.

Rural-urban disparities exist in cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Investigations of CVD mortality among breast and gynecologic cancer (BGC) survivors from rural/urban communities are limited. Honokiol We evaluated the influence of individual and neighborhood-level factors on rural-urban disparities in CVD mortality among BGC survivors.

Data were from 1,139,767 women aged ≥20years from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program who were diagnosed with BGC from 2000 to 2016 that was merged with Area Health Resource Files for neighborhood-level factors (smoking, cancer screening, primary care provider density and socioeconomic index). Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for CVD mortality were calculated and multilevel Cox models, accounting for competing events, were used to estimate hazards ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

The average age of BGC survivors was 60years, with 10.3% of them living in rural counties. During a median follow-up of 5.1years, 47,995 CVD deaths occured.
