Nurses' work motivation impacts their job satisfaction and work engagement, affecting their quality of care. Work motivation, a personal resource, can be categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, each of which may function differently in the job demands-resources (JD-R) model. To study the effect of nurses' intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation on work engagement in long-term care (LTC) facilities, we randomly selected 1200 facilities from 6055 LTC facilities in eastern Japan. Two n

This study's aim was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Attitude toward Professional Autonomy Scale for Nurses in Japan. In Study 1, the initial (26-item) version of the scale was pilot tested on 454 Japanese nurses; item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed. In Study 2, the revised version of the scale (19 items) was administered to 802 Japanese nurses. The scale had good internal consistency (α = .85). Correlations with the scale of the desire of self-det

The survival strategies that were used by the male nurses were subtle, allowing them to influence indirectly both the female nurses and the doctors. These findings contribute to our understanding of the experiences of male nurses, a gendered minority in a female-dominated workplace, and encourage gender equality in the nursing profession.

This study clarified that the relationship between occupational commitment and intention to leave was robust for nurses in good health. Interventions aimed at reducing fatigue and improving psychological distress should be implemented to prevent the protective effects of occupational commitment on nurses' intention to leave from being compromised.

Abstract Aim This study aimed to develop the nurses' Work Values Scale (WVS) to determine how important certain values are for nurses and to psychometrically test the scale. Design Instrument development and validation study. Method A two‐phase scale development process comprising item generation, scale improvement and psychometric property evaluation was used. In the first phase, scale items were identified. In the second phase, item and exploratory factor analyses were performed in Study 1, an

The solution type composite having the highest concentrations of DHHB and BMDM prepared in this study exhibited critical wavelength at 368 nm that was just below the border for sunscreens being qualified as 'Broad Spectrum' protection under the new rule launched by US FDA.

Nurses who emphasized extrinsic work values and those who did not emphasize prestige work values had the lowest work engagement in settings with high negative work-to-family spillover. To ensure nurses' work-related well-being and engagement, nursing managers could provide support for nurses in tackling work-related negative events, so that these do not carry over to family settings.

本研究は, 心筋梗塞の病者の生きられた身体体験を探究することを目的に, 現象学的アプローチを用いた質的帰納的研究を行った. 研究対象者は急性心筋梗塞を発症した男性病者5名であった. データ収集は, 心筋梗塞を発症した直後から約3ヶ月間のあいだに, 公式面接法と非公式面接法によって行った.分析の結果, 心筋梗塞の病者の生きられた身体体験は,〈身体に注意を向けること〉に特徴づけられた. この〈身体に注意を向けること〉は, 病者それぞれの〈内在的な身体体験〉を導いていた. これは, 病者の意識のはたらきによって生じ, 病者の意識のなかでのみ内在的に感じられるものであった. また, 生きられた身体体験には, 〈発症時の意識の有無〉,〈情報を自分の知識とすること〉,〈関係世界と関係すること〉が大きく関わっていることが明らかになった. 本研究の結果より, 心筋梗塞の病者の体験の原初的部分とその主観的意味が示された. そして, 看護婦が心筋梗塞の病者のとる様々な行動や反応を理解するための示唆を得た.

We clarified the significance of self, others, others' evaluations, and differences in socio-cultural contexts while defining shame.

目的：中期キャリアにあるジェネラリスト・ナースが自律的な判断をどのように行っているのか，その具体的様相を明らかにすることである．方法：研究方法論にM-GTAを採用し，臨床経験8～19年の看護師19名に対し半構成的面接を実施した．結果：ジェネラリスト・ナースは【その人らしさを引き出し，その希望や意思をつなぐ】ことを目指して【医師の指示を吟味し補う】【患者の生活に関わる介入を主導する】ことに関わる内容の判断を行っていた．また，彼らが自律的な判断を下そうとする際には【看護師同士で補い合い，より難しい判断をする】【微細な変化を素早く全体的にとらえ予測する】という工夫をしていることが明らかになった．考察：看護師は明確な目標を目指して，判断を補い合い直感を活かしながら，診療および療養上の世話のどちらの範囲においても，専門職としての自律性を発揮していると考えられた．

Spontaneous chiral asymmetry generation, which is the preferential production of one enantiomer in a non-chiral environment by chiral autocatalysis, could be observed in a preparation of a octahedral cobalt complex, cis-[CoBr(NH3)(en)2]Br2. A concentration fluctuation in a far-from-equilibrium chemical system will grow if the rate of local autocatalytic production of a compound in a small volume overcomes its loss due to diffusion. In a chirally autocatalytic system, this phenomenon could produc

Abstract Background People with intellectual / intellectual and physical disabilities frequently use day‐service centres, an array of services that involve the provision of care and social activities during the daytime and offer homebound people with disabilities opportunities to live in their communities. While nurses working at day‐service centres for people with disabilities are expected to promote service‐users' health, little research has focused on this area. Nurses' relationships with ser
