Psychiatric ward (PW) nurses are at a higher risk to encounter workplace violence than are other healthcare providers, and many interventions have been developed to improve their mental health. We compared the effectiveness of biofeedback training (BT) and smartphone-delivered BT (SDBT) interventions on occupational stress, depressive symptoms, resilience, heart rate variability, and respiration rate in a sample of abused PW nurses. This was a quasi-experimental study. Structured questionnaires were administered before and six weeks after the intervention. Data were collected from April 2017 to October 2017. A total of 159 abused PW nurses were randomly assigned to BT, SDBT, and control groups, and 135 of them completed all processes of our protocol, with the study consisting of 119 females (88.1%) and 16 males (11.9%) and their age range being from 22 to 59 with the mean age of 35.61 and a standard deviation of 8.16. Compared to the controls, both the BT and the SDBT intervention groups experienced significant improvements in depressive symptoms, resilience, and respiration rate; and the SDBT group experienced significant reductions in occupational stress. Considering the cost, accessibility, restrictions time and space, SDBT be used as an effective intervention in people with resilience or occupational stress.

This research develops the Osteoporosis Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviors Questionnaire (OKABQ) with the intent to evaluate the levels of osteoporosis knowledge, attitude and behavior change by developing and validating the OKABQ while establishing a mediation model of the research. A quantitative, descriptive and instrumental study was conducted in two phases: Phase I—development of the scale through Delphi Method by osteoporosis experts; and Phase II—evaluation of the validity and reliability of the scale and construction of a mediation model using SmartPLS. In Phase I, the content validity index (CVI) of the questionnaire was higher than 0.96 and the inter-rater reliability (IRR) kappa was 1.00. In Phase II, exploratory factor analysis showed that two predominating factors of attitude as a mediation were addressed by the 26-item OKABQ. The indirect effect results from the estimated model indicate that attitude mediates the relationship between knowledge and behaviors (β = 0.114, t = 2.627, p < 0.001), which is positive and statistically significant. We concluded that the OKABQ is a valid measure of osteoporosis knowledge, attitudes and behaviors for women with osteoporosis. These assessment results could assist healthcare providers in mitigating insufficiency in health education and help patients better adapt to a more active bone-healthy lifestyle.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interprofessional collaborative practice interventions in improving activities of daily living, quality of life, length of stay, and in reducing mortality among older adults with hip fractures. Systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials. Eight databases including AgeLine, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Ultimate, Scopus, MEDLINE Ultimate, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to November 2025. Two reviewers independently screened studies and assessed risk of bias using Cochrane Risk‐of‐Bias 2.0. Random‐effects meta‐analyses were performed. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. Twelve randomized controlled trials met inclusion criteria. Interventions typically involved nurses working alongside geriatricians, orthopedic surgeons, and physiotherapists within structured co‐management pathways. Interprofessional collaborative practice was associated with a shorter hospital stay by a mean of 2.26 days. Activities of daily living improved by 4.86 points at 6 months and 3.92 points at 12 months on the Barthel Index. Health‐related quality of life improved modestly (Hedges’ G = 0.194), though this was not robust to sensitivity analysis. Mortality evidence was inconclusive at in‐hospital and 6‐month follow‐up. Certainty of evidence ranged from very low to low across outcomes. Interprofessional collaborative practice appears to improve functional recovery and may shorten hospital stay among older adults with hip fractures, though any mortality benefit remains unproven. Clinicians should consider adopting interprofessional hip fracture pathways spanning team rounds, early mobilization, medication reconciliation, and discharge planning, while future trials clarify effects on survival.
