Aim: To identify potential categories of clinical belonging among new nurses and explore the relationship between different categories and turnover intention. Design: A cross sectional study. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 348 new nurses from tertiary hospitals in Hainan and Guangdong provinces. A general data questionnaire, clinical belonging scale and turnover intention scale were used for examination. Further, the potential categories were used to analyse the categories of clinical belonging, and latent class analysis was utilized to analyse the relationship between different categories of clinical belonging and turnover intention. Results: The clinical sense of belonging of new nurses were divided into three groups namely C1, C2 and C3. The C1: poor clinical sense of belonging (8.7%), C2: moderate clinical sense of belonging (57.9%) and C3: rich clinical sense of belonging (33.4%). The risk of the turnover intention of new nurses with ‘poor clinical sense of belonging’ was 0.62 times that of new nurses with ‘rich clinical sense of belonging’ (OR = 0.62, p < 0.01), which was 0.24 times that of ‘moderate clinical sense of belonging’ (OR = 0.24, p < 0.01), the risk of the turnover intention of new nurses with ‘moderate clinical sense of belonging’ was 0.13 times that of new nurses with ‘rich clinical sense of belonging’(OR = 0. 13, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The results of our study revealed that in order to enhance the new nurses' sense of belonging, support was most crucial when they were first encountering difficulties. To reduce turnover intention, more structured learning opportunities are also required to maximize learning for newly graduated nurses with various nursing degrees. Patient or Public Contribution: There are no patient or public contributions in this study.

White pitaya, a popular tropical fruit, is known for its high nutritional value. It is commercially cultivated worldwide for its potential use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This study aims to assess the nutritional and phytochemical contents and biological potential of the South Chinese White Pitaya (SCWP) peel, flesh, and seed extracts. Extract fractions with increasing polarity (ethyl acetate < acetone < ethanol < methanol < aqueous) were prepared. Antibacterial potential was tested against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, and antioxidant activity was determined using, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assays, and cytotoxic activity against human keratinocyte cells using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Pharmacological screening and molecular docking simulations were conducted to identify potential antibacterial compounds with druggable characteristics. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) was employed to validate the binding stability of the promising ligand-protein complexes. All parts of the fruit exhibited a substantial amount of crucial nutrients (minerals, sugars, proteins, vitamins, and fatty acids). The ethanol (ET) and acetone (AC) fractions of all samples demonstrated notable inhibitory effects against tested MDR bacteria, with MIC50 ranges of 74–925 μg/mL. Both ET and AC fractions also displayed remarkable antioxidant activity, with MIC50 ranges of 3–39 μg/mL. Cytotoxicity assays on HaCaT cells revealed no adverse effects from the crude extract fractions. LC-MS/MS analyses identified a diverse array of compounds, known and unknown, with antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Molecular docking simulations and pharmacological property screening highlighted two active compounds, baicalein (BCN) and lenticin (LTN), showing strong binding affinity with selected target proteins and adhering to pharmacological parameters. MDS indicated a stable interaction between the ligands (BCN and LTN) and the receptor proteins over a 100-ns simulation period. Our study provides essential information on the nutritional profile and pharmacological potential of the peel, flesh, and seeds of SCWP. Furthermore, our findings contribute to the identification of novel antioxidants and antibacterial agents that could be capable of overcoming the resistance barrier posed by MDR bacteria.
