We examined accuracy of nurses' clinical judgement of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) symptoms and related factors using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) for patients who developed chronic cutaneous GVHD after haematopoietic stem cell transplants.

Cross-sectional design using nationwide survey.

A questionnaire survey based on Tanner's clinical judgement model to assess patients with chronic cutaneous GVHD using CTCAE was used. Free-text descriptions and statistical analyses of relationship between correct responses and demographic data were performed.

The rate of correct responses for main symptoms of skin GVHD was<50%; there was no statistical significance between correct responses and demographic data, knowledge about GVHD and collaborative practice with physicians. The accuracy of cutaneous GVHD clinical judgements was not directly related to nurses' background. Educational opportunities that reinforce nurses' abilities to reflect on knowledge and experiences to interpret patient symptoms are essential for improving accuracy of clinical judgement.

This study examines interrelations between gains of Norton Scale Score (NSS) and functional outcome measured by Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) among older hip fracture patients.

Retrospective study.

We examined 227 patients consecutively hospitalized in a geriatric postacute rehabilitation ward. The data were collected during 2012-2017. Data were analysed using Student's t test, chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression.

Patients with positive NSS gains demonstrated statistically significant higher total FIM, motor FIM and total FIM gain scores at hospital discharge, compared with patients showing no NSS gains or negative NSS. Multiple regression analysis indicated that positive NSS gains were independently predictive for higher total FIM and motor FIM scores at hospital discharge and higher motor FIM gains at discharge.

Our results suggest that positive NSS gains are associated with higher FIM scores at hospital discharge and may assist in predicting the functional outcome of hospitalized older hip fracture patients.

This study examined how communication between nurses and families in video consultations in a neonatal early in-home care program unfolded in the context of parents' homes.

A qualitative study based on focused observations supported by audio-recorded video consultations.

The data were collected through nine video consultations between nurses and families in an early in-home care program. The transcribed material was examined using inductive content analysis.

The analyses revealed the following themes "Setting the scene," "Weight as a point of reference" and "The pros and cons of technology." The video consultations unfolded in a relaxed atmosphere, but also as one-way communication dominated by nurses, with the infant's weight as the focus. The study finds that a focus on training in video communication is needed to take full advantage of video consultations' potential.

To test a model of psychosocial/cultural/biological risk factors for poor birth outcomes in Latina pregnant women.

An observational study measuring acculturation, progesterone, cortisol, cotinine, age, marital status, income, stress, depressive symptoms and coping. We tested a structural equation model to predict risk.

We obtained a convenience sample (N=515) of low medical risk pregnant Mexican American Hispanic women at 22-24weeks of gestation. Bilingual research nurses collected data from blood, urine and questionnaires. Self-report measures were the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II and the Brief Cope. We measured progesterone and cortisol in plasma and cotinine levels in urine by enzyme-linked immunoassays.

A PLS-SEM model revealed that Mexican American Hispanic pregnant women who were younger, single, lower income, more acculturated and who had greater negative coping, stress and depression were most at risk for having earlier and smaller babies.

The attitudes and behaviours of nursing staff are critical to determine patients' satisfaction and to have a competitive advantage for any healthcare organization. This study is set to investigate the effects of internal service quality (ISQ) on nurses' job satisfaction, employee commitment, well-being and job performance in the healthcare sector of Pakistan. Tat-BECN1 Further, this study also examines the mediating role of nurses' well-being for the relationship of job satisfaction and commitment with their job performance.

This was a cross-sectional quantitativeresearch. A self-administered survey was used to collect data from 412 nursing employees of 20 private sector healthcare centres operating in Pakistan. Partial least square of structural equation model (PLS-SEM) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were employed through Smart PLS 3.2.8 for data analysis.

Study results revealed that ISQ directly effects employees' satisfaction, commitment, well-being of the nursing employees. Moreover, employees' well-being has mediated job satisfaction and job performance relationship; however, well-being did not mediate the relationship between commitment and job performance.
