RESUMO
Objective: We assessed the current status of depressive symptoms and the associated factors in rural left-behind adolescents. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and depressive symptoms. Methods: Students from two rural junior high schools in Huaihua City were enrolled from July to September 2022. Before distributing the questionnaires, guardians of the students were contacted, and consent was obtained from the students themselves. The questionnaires were filled out anonymously and collected on-site. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among the 325 left-behind teenagers was 23.40%; the rate of emotional abuse in adverse childhood experiences was 17.50%, physical abuse was 15.70%, sexual abuse was 9.50%, emotional neglect was 24.60%, while physical neglect was 27.70%. The five dimensions of adverse childhood experiences were associated with depressive symptoms (r = 0.597, 0.395, 0.410, 0.498, 0.741, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Depressive symptoms were common among rural left-behind adolescents. Adverse childhood experiences were associated with depressive symptoms in rural left-behind adolescents. Occurrence of adverse childhood experiences should be reduced to improve on depressive symptoms.
RESUMO
Objectives: This study aimed to translate the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale of Administrator Nurses (SEPSAN) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity among nurse managers. Methods: A scale translation and cross-sectional validation study was conducted. The English version was translated for Chinese by the Brislin translation model included direct translation, back translation, integration, and cultural adjustment. A total of 382 nurse administrators were recruited from 20 general hospitals in five Chinese cities to assess the reliability and validity of the scale from April to May 2023. Validity assessments included content, structural, and convergent validity. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient and test-retest reliability. Results: The item-content validity index (I-CVI) of the scale ranged from 0.86 to 1.00, and the average scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) for the overall scale was 0.98. The exploratory factor analysis indicated five dimensions (planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, controlling, and inspecting) with 41 items. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.72%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable fit. The general Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.95, and the test-retest reliability was 0.87. Conclusion: The Chinese version of SEPSAN showed satisfactory reliability and validity and thus can be used to assess the self-efficacy of nurse administrators in China.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the research hotspots and trends of nursing scenario simulation teaching at home and abroad, and to provide reference for future nursing talent education. METHODS: CNKI and Web of Science databases were searched. From the establishment of the database to April 2022, relevant literature on nursing scenario simulation teaching research at home and abroad was retrieved, and Cite Space software was used for visual analysis. RESULTS: The research focus on China was the application and application effect of nursing scenario simulation teaching. The research hotspots abroad are the quality evaluation, reliability and influence of nursing scenario simulation teaching. CONCLUSION: The research and development of nursing scenario simulation teaching gradually tend to be systematic.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Empty nesters are older people who live alone or an older couple without children to care for them. In China, empty nesters make up a significant community and are more likely to experience emotional issues, particularly depression. This study investigated the prevalence of depression and the factors influencing depression among Chinese home-bound empty nesters using meta-analysis. METHODS: Based on previous studies, we used search terms relating to empty nesters and depression in English and Chinese. Databases, including China Journal Full Text Database (CNKI), Wanfang, Wipu, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and UptoDate, were searched in April 2022, for relevant articles. Details including names of authors, year of publication, region of investigation, study type, sample size, depression detection scale, depression detection rate, and influencing factors were captured. The heterogeneity of the studies was assessed based on the I2 index, and data analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS: A total of ten research articles involving 5337 Chinese empty nesters were evaluated in the present meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of depression among empty nesters in China was 43%. The prevalence of depression among urban empty nesters was 38% (95% CI: 0.24,0.52), and 36% (95% CI: 0.18,0.55) among rural empty nesters. Many factors, including female, income, marital status, chronic illness, relationship with children, and social support were linked to depression among urban empty nesters. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of depression among empty nesters was 43%. Therefore, based on the factors influencing depression, government departments can intervene early to improve the mental health of empty nesters. LIMITATIONS: The meta-analysis only included cross-sectional studies. Therefore, there is a need for more future original studies investigating depression among empty nesters in China.
