The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the measurement properties of pressure injury risk assessment tools for cancer patients using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology, and to serve as a reference for clinical nurses in their hospital duties when choosing high-quality assessment tools.
A systematic review based on COSMIN methodology.
The English literature in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and the search period ranged from the inception of the database to September 30, 2024.
Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality and measurement properties of the included studies.
Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Two tools—the PUSO (Pressure Ulcer Scale in Oncology) and the Cuire scale—demonstrated sufficient evidence of content validity and structural validity, meeting the COSMIN quality standards. None of the studies reported the cross-cultural validity, stability, and measurement error of the assessment tool.
Following the COSMIN assessment, the PUSO and the Cuire were developed using rigorous procedures, ensuring sufficient overall quality for content validity, structural validity, and other measurement properties. We recommend their use across various environments, based on the quantity and content of specific items. The PUSO was recommended for clinical screening, whereas the Cuire scale was deemed more suitable for use in outpatient, community, and scientific research settings. However, these measurement properties are not without flaws, and their clinical application requires further validation.
To investigate the impact of socio-demographic factors and job stressors on the emotional intelligence of psychiatric nurses.
Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in enabling nurses to effectively manage their own emotions, comprehend the emotions of others and assist individuals in dealing with diverse stressors. Nevertheless, a comprehensive conceptualization of the relationship between job stressors and emotional intelligence remains lacking.
This study employs a multi-centre cross-sectional design.
A multi-centre cross-sectional survey involving 1083 registered nurses from 11 psychiatric hospitals across four provinces in China was conducted. Non-probability sampling was utilised. The survey encompassed assessments of nurse job stressors, emotional intelligence using a scale and socio-demographic characteristics using a questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was applied to identify significant variables associated with emotional intelligence based on demographic attributes and various nurse job stressors. The study adhered to the STROBE checklist.
The findings revealed a noteworthy negative correlation between nurse job stressors and emotional intelligence. Socio-demographic factors and job stressors of certain nurses were able to predict emotional intelligence and its dimensions among psychiatric nurses, with percentages of 44.50%, 40.10%, 36.40%, 36.60% and 34.60%.
Providing emotional intelligence training for psychiatric nurses could enhance their capacity to cope effectively with workplace stress, particularly among younger nurses who engage in limited physical activities.
The analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and nurse job stressors could facilitate early detection and intervention by managers based on pertinent factors. This, in turn, could elevate the emotional intelligence level of psychiatric nurses.
