Discharging older patients from hospital to homecare: conflicts in collaborative practices among nurses across sectors.

Collaboration is a key factor influencing the quality and safety in patients transition between sectors. However, specific collaborative practices may give rise to conflict between hospital nurses and community nurses. To gain a deeper understanding of collaborative practices which have the potential to fuel tension in collaboration between hospital nurses and community nurses during discharge of older patients from hospital to homecare. A meta-ethnography approach was used in this study and a systematic literature search was conducted in 2022. Five themes were identified in the analysis. These themes revealed how uncertainty, limited confidence in information and personal attitude in communication may fuel tension between hospital nurses and community nurses. Tensions arising from a negative loop emerged because of uncertainty, causing a growing rift between hospital nurses and community nurses, leaving them as opponents rather than collaborators. The authors suggest that policy makers and managers can break this loop by underpinning shared policies and awareness of common objectives.

A theoretical framework for identifying sociocultural factors that influence nurses' compliance with early warning systems for acute clinical deterioration: A cross-sectional survey

BackgroundSystematic adoption of early warning systems in healthcare settings is dependent on the optimal and reliable application by the user. Psychosocial issues and hospital culture influence clinicians' patient safety behaviours. Objective(i) To examine the sociocultural factors that influence nurses' EWS compliance behaviours, using a theory driven behavioural model and (ii) to propose a conceptual model of sociocultural factors for EWS compliance behaviour. DesignA cross-sectional survey. SettingNurses employed in public hospitals across Queensland, Australia. ParticipantsUsing convenience and snowball sampling techniques eligible nurses accessed a dedicated web site and survey containing closed and open-ended questions. 291 nurses from 60 hospitals completed the survey. MethodsQuantitative data were analysed using ANOVA or t-tests to test differences in means. A series of path models based on the theory were conducted to develop a new model. Directed or theory driven content analysis informed qualitative data analysis. ResultsNurses report high levels of previous compliance behaviour and strong intentions to continue complying in the future (M=4.7; SD 0.48). Individual compliance attitudes (β 0.29, p<.05), perceived value of escalation (β 0.24, p<.05) and perceived ease or difficulty complying with documentation (β −0.31, p<.05) were statistically significant, predicting 24% of variation in compliance behaviour. Positive personal charting beliefs (β 0.14, p<.05) and subjective norms both explain higher behavioural intent indirectly through personal attitudes. High ratings of peer charting beliefs indirectly explain attitudes through subjective norms (β 0.20, p<.05). Perceptions of control over one's clinical actions (β −0.24, p<.05) and early warning system training (β −0.17, p<.05) directly contributed to fewer difficulties complying with documentation requirements. Prior difficulties when escalating care (β −0.31, p<.05) directly influenced the perceived value of escalating. ConclusionsThe developed theory-based conceptual model identified sociocultural variables that inform compliance behaviour (documenting and escalation protocols). The model highlights areas of clinical judgement, education, interprofessional trust, workplace norms and cultural factors that directly or indirectly influence nurses' intention to comply with EWS protocols. Extending our understanding of the sociocultural and system wide factors that hamper nurses' use of EWSs and professional accountability has the potential to improve the compliance behaviour of staff and subsequently enhance the safety climate attitudes of hospitals. Tweetable abstractA newly developed model reports nurse's personal attitudes, peer influence, perceived difficulties encountered documenting and escalation beliefs all predict early warning system compliance behaviour.

Gender Diversity Among Young Adolescents: Are Gender Attitudes, Sexual Orientation, Gender Roles, Gender Identity and Sex Assigned at Birth Associated With Liking to Become a Wo/Man and the Body Image of Young Adolescents in Belgium?

This study aims to understand how gender diversity and gender attitudes are linked to the sexual well-being of young adolescents. Data was collected among 561 adolescents in secondary schools in Flanders and binary logistic regressions were performed. Gender diversity was conceptualized as gender identity, gender expression, sex assigned at birth, sexual orientation and personal gender attitudes. Whereas “like to become a wo/man” and body image were used as measures for sexual well-being. Age and migration were added as covariates.The data illustrates that gender diversity is present among young adolescents and that it can be linked to young adolescent’s body image and liking to become a wo/man. In addition, it shows how diverse sets of gender attitudes are differently associated with sexual well-being outcomes. The findings also suggest the internalization of patriarchal and heterosexual societal norms by the respondents. The results indicate an association between on the one hand gender diversity and gender attitudes and on the other hand adolescent sexual well-being. Furthermore, it suggests that gender transformative research and programs that aim to improve adolescent sexual health and well-being should carefully choose their gender focus and invest in improving gender equity beyond the individual level. Additional research is needed to investigate the association between gender diversity and adolescent sexual wellbeing among diverse sexual well-being conceptualizations and specific groups (gender, ethnic, and others) of young adolescents.

The Impact of Digital Competence and Personal Innovativeness on the Learning Behavior of Students: Exploring the Moderating Role of Digitalization in Higher Education Quality

The integration of digitalization in higher education is a key to increasing the number of students getting access to education in the developing world. Inspired by the fast digitalization in higher education institutes and the lack of relevant empirical studies about the impact of this rapid digitalization on the learning behavior of students, we investigated: how does digital competence, along with personal innovativeness and attitudes toward digital learning, affect the learning behavior of students in China? This study also aims to examine the moderating role of the level of digitization at higher educational institutions between students’ personality traits and their learning behavior. For this purpose, cross sectional data were collected from 1,569 Chinese students through purposive and random sampling through a face-to-face survey. The data were analyzed using the partially least square structural equation model. The findings indicate that digital competence (β = .688, p &lt; .01) exerts a robust positive influence on students’ learning behavior. The personal innovativeness had a significant impact on learning behavior (β = .720, p &lt; .01). The study found that the attitude toward digital learning had a significant impact on students’ learning behavior (β = .573, p &lt; .01). The results also indicated that digitalization at higher education institutes moderated positively between student personality traits and their learning behavior. Thus, the enables individuals to cultivate creativity, explore novel concepts, and acquire fresh insights that enhance their intellectual skills. Ultimately, DHEI also cultivates their attitude toward formal as well as informal digital learning, which significantly influences their learning behavior.

From intention to action: Understanding bank credit access through the lens of the theory of planned behavior

Research background: Bank credit access plays a determining role in enterprises’ financial growth, competitiveness, and internationalization. However, most entrepreneurs are afraid of being rejected from their credit applications due to financial disadvantages that reduce their probability of receiving credits. To minimize credit access concerns, their entrepreneurial behaviors that are included in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), such as personal attitude (PA), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and subjective norm (SN), might be a good solution. However, depending on cultural differences, their attitudes regarding these factors might change, which also causes changes in firms’ probability of receiving credit. Purpose of the article: This research aims to examine whether the impact of PA, PBC, and SN on credit access of enterprises differ depending on the countries where they do their business. Methods: The researchers investigate 1367 enterprises from different countries. These firms are selected using a purposive sampling method, and then an online questionnaire is sent to the survey respondents. Binary Logistic Regression analyses are performed for analysis purposes. Findings &amp; value added: The results indicate that while the impact of PA on bank credit access does not differ depending on the countries where firms are located, international differences exist in the impacts of PBC and SN on the credit access of enterprises. This paper finds international differences in the impact of RBV’s intangible assets (PA, PBC, SN) on a tangible asset of RBV (financial capability) and explains these results with the factors (economic, political, legal systems) included in Institution-based View, and brings all components of both theories RBV and Institution-based View in a unique research. Financial and educational support from governments and universities for fresh graduate individuals can stimulate entrepreneurial attitudes and financing abilities of prospective entrepreneurs to overcome credit access obstacles.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ПЕРЕЖИВАНИЯ СИТУАЦИИ ПСИХОГЕННОГО БЕСПЛОДИЯ У ЖЕНЩИН, ИМЕЮЩИХ ОПЫТ ЭКСТРАКОРПОРАЛЬНОГО ОПЛОДОТВОРЕНИЯ

This article presents the results of a psychodiagnostic study of the experiences of women suffering infertility of unknown origin (psychogenic infertility) and having experience of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Our study involved 59 women who had no physiological problems with reproductive health. The control group included 39women with the first pregnancy, who had no negative pregnancy experience. The experimental group consisted of 20 women with no history of pregnancy who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) without success. The main assumption is that the characteristics of the experience are associated with the success of IVF. Experience was studied in terms of four components: semantic, emotional, temporal and cognitive. The aim of the work was to study the characteristics of experiences in women with psychogenic infertility who underwent IVF. The study was carried out using psychodiagnostic methods: test of life-purpose orientations by D. A. Leontyev, Luscher Color Test, Life Line test adapted by T. D. Vasilenko, questionnaire of socio-psychological personality attitudes by O. F. Potemkina. Statistically significant differences were found in the temporal and cognitive components of the experience. A conclusion was made about the relationship between the above components of the experience and unsuccessful IVF procedure.

The Ceremony of Receiving Ambassadresses at the Russian Court of the Eighteenth Century

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the European system of international relations underwent significant changes, marked by the institutional development of diplomatic services and the establishment of more coherent diplomatic ceremonials. Resident embassies became common, introducing the presence of female relatives of diplomats who actively participated in the life of the diplomatic corps. The growing presence of ambassadresses played a transformative role in early modern diplomatic culture, contributing to the development of gendered diplomatic ceremonials. Drawing on relevant approaches to the study of the ‘new diplomatic history’ and using archival material from the Archive of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire, this article examines the diplomatic ceremonial of ambassadorial spouses at the eighteenth-century Russian court. It examines the presentation of ambassadors’ wives at court, the implementation of protocol, and issues of etiquette that became sources of contention between ‘ambassadresses’ and the St Petersburg court, as well as methods of conflict resolution. The study of the reception ceremony for ‘foreign ladies’ reveals that, although it was governed by legal norms, it depended heavily on the Russian monarch’s personal attitude towards the ambassador and ambassadress, as well as the country they represented.

THE INFLUENCE OF BRAND IMAGE AND BRAND TRUST ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION OF FERTILIZER ON FARMERS IN BANTUL REGENCY

The widely distributed Non-subsidized NPK fertilizers which are quite diverse give more options for farmers to choose from which they want to use in their farming activities. This study aims to determine the effect of brand image and brand trust on customer satisfaction of non-subsidized NPK fertilizer shallot farmers in Bantul Regency. This quantitative research was conducted by using a non-probability sampling method with convenience sampling technique. The number of respondents in this study was 100 shallot farmers who use non-subsidized NPK fertilizer with the Mutiara and Phonska Plus brands at least twice. Data analysis was done with Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of this study shows that the brand image variable is measured from indicators of brand identity, brand personality, brand associations, and brand attitudes and behavior. The brand trust variable is measured by some indicators which are brand characteristics, company characteristics, customer-brand characteristics, affective trust, and cognitive trust. The customer satisfaction variable is measured by service quality, product quality, price suitability, as well as situation and personality. Furthermore, the analysis shows that brand image and brand trust have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. It is expected that farmers can exchange information regarding the use of non-subsidized NPK fertilizer in order to decide best decisions in cultivating shallot plants.

COMMENTARY AS A TYPE OF COMMUNICATIVE ACTION

The present paper deals with the problem of a commentary as a secondary communicative action. The aim of the article is to describe several discourse types of commentary (a commentary in everyday oral communication, a scientific discourse, a commentary in a legal communication, a commentary in a religious discourse) and define its current discursive features. As a result of the study, it was found that a commentary in everyday oral communication mostly expresses specification of the previous phrase and personal standpoint of interlocutors. In a scientific discourse a commentary is used to ground the author’s approach to the problem and to express a critical evaluation of the problems, usually in a regardful mode. A commentary in a legal communication is given to define and specify certain relevant notions in the sphere of law. A commentary in a religious discourse is used to interpret the basic sentences. A network discourse commentary expresses a personal evaluative attitude to the information published, and responses to it make a polemic dialogue. The scientific novelty of the study is that the definite features of the four types of the commentary are revealed. The study of commentary contributes to the development of theory of speech genres, theory of text and discourse, and pragmalinguistics.

THE INFLUENCE OF STUDENTS’ PERSONALITY TRAITS ON LEARNING ENGLISH

Relevance. There are a number of factors that affect students' performance in learning English. These can be both internal and external factors. The present study focuses on the internal factors that influence students' success in learning English. Theories have been put forward and research has been conducted to identify the influence of students' mental attitudes and personality characteristics. According to these theories, mental attitudes shape a person's behaviour and attitudes. Students' personality characteristics are also believed to influence their academic performance. A questionnaire covering the personality characteristics of English language learners was used for the study. The traits analysed were extraversion, introversion, openness to experience and conscientiousness. It was also investigated how these characteristics influence the level of motivation and choice of English language learning methods. Students with pronounced extraversion prefer to interact with native speakers and work in groups, while introverts prefer individual methods such as reading and writing. The results indicate a significant influence of students' attitudes and personality traits on their success. Taking into account students' personality traits can significantly improve the effectiveness of instruction by allowing it to be tailored to the needs of each learner.

Electric vehicle public charging choices: a qualitative investigation

ABSTRACT Understanding how potential and existing electric vehicle users choose public charging is critical for the development of public-charging infrastructure. This study employs a qualitative approach guided by stated choice tasks to examine the decision-making processes regarding public charging. Through 20 interviews of existing and potential EV users in the UK, thematic analysis of responses pointed towards three areas: the choice context, attribute non-attendance and payment method. Participants sought detailed information about the circumstances under which they had to charge their vehicles. Attribute non-attendance meant that some participants paid more attention to specific attributes than others (e.g. location, price). Responses around the payment method pointed towards differences in relation to personal attitudes. This evidence suggests that charging choices are context-dependent, choices may be guided by specific attributes and individual attitudes play a role in these choices. These are also important considerations when designing a large-scale survey involving choice experiments and public charging.
