To examine the psychometric properties of a short form version of the Numinous Motivation Inventory (NMI) for use with healthcare providers in measuring their existential engagement with life and to assess its relationship with spiritual coping and emotional dysphoria.
Correlational and psychometric study.
Data were collected from June to December 2022. Participants included 102 physicians, recruited from across the United States. Qualtrics was utilized to collect data, and they were evaluated with the NMI short form, Spiritual Coping Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale (DASS-21).
Obtained fit statistics from structural equation modelling analysis indicated close fit of the NMI short form with the original model. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated the value of the NMI as a predictor of negative affect independent of spiritual coping. The NMI did not interact with Spiritual Coping, which was independent of negative affect.
The Numinous represents an important aspect of physicians' coping. The constructs can be utilized in training and clinical settings as a valuable and easy-to-use metric for promoting and assessing wellness. The implications of these findings and the value of the NMI were discussed.
An understanding of existential drivers can equip one to cope with the stressors of healthcare. The NMI short form has the capability to explore an individual's existential drivers through the understanding of three domains.

To develop a consensus on evidence-based principles and recommendations for perioperative hypothermia prevention in the Australian context.
This study was informed by CAN-IMPLEMENT using the ADAPTE process: (1) formation of a multidisciplinary development team; (2) systematic search process identifying existing guidance for perioperative hypothermia prevention; (3) appraisal using the AGREE II Rigor of Development domain; (4) extraction of recommendations from guidelines meeting a quality threshold using the AGREE-REX tool; (5) review of draft principles and recommendations by multidisciplinary clinicians nationally and (6) subsequent round of discussion, drafting, reflection and revision by the original panel member team.
Australian perioperative departments.
Registered nurses, anaesthetists, surgeons and anaesthetic allied health practitioners.
A total of 23 papers (12 guidelines, 6 evidence summaries, 3 standards, 1 best practice sheet and 1 evidence-based bundle) formed the evidence base. After evidence synthesis and development of draft recommendations, 219 perioperative clinicians provided feedback. Following refinement, three simple principles for perioperative hypothermia prevention were developed with supporting practice recommendations: (1) actively monitor core temperature for all patients at all times; (2) warm actively to keep body temperature above 36°C and patients comfortable and (3) minimise exposure to cold at all stages of perioperative care.
This consensus process has generated principles and practice recommendations for hypothermia prevention that are ready for implementation with local adaptation. Further evaluation will be undertaken in a large-scale implementation trial across Australian hospitals.
