Propensity Score Methods in Nursing Research: Take Advantage of Them but Proceed With Caution
护理研究中的倾向评分法:可以利用但要小心
Intervention research on health outcomes is important to advancing the nursing science. Using randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to estimate intervention (or treatment) effects is optimal for this purpose. Unfortunately, for practical or ethical reasons, RCTs are often not feasible, and thus, researchers often rely on observational or non-RCT data to estimate treatment effects.

Multiple Chronic Conditions and Hospitalizations Among Recipients of Long-Term Services and Supports
长期保健服务及支持接受者的多发性慢性病及住院
Among older adults receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS), debilitating hospitalizations is a pervasive clinical and research problem. Multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) are prevalent in LTSS recipients. However, the combination of MCCs and diseases associated with hospitalizations of LTSS recipients is unclear.
Temporal Patterns of In-Hospital Falls of Elderly Patients
老年住院患者摔倒的颞颥因素
A potentially important factor yet to receive adequate study is the time when hospital falls occur. A prior study conducted before the system-wide introduction of preventive measures revealed a biphasic 24-hour pattern of hospital falls with major peak in the morning.
Family Perspectives on Overall Care in the Intensive Care Unit
家人对ICU总体护理的看法
Family members’ perspectives about satisfaction with care provided in the intensive care unit (ICU) have become an important part of quality assessment and improvement, but national and international differences may exist in care provided and family perspectives about satisfaction with care.
Adolescents’ and Young Adults’ Lived Experiences Following Venous Thromboembolism: “It will always lie in wait”
青少年及青年静脉栓塞后的生活体验:“总是在等啊等”
Long-term, mental well-being of adolescence and young adults diagnosed with venous thromboembolism (VTE) as experienced by the patients has received little attention. The purpose of this study was to explore the essential meaning of adolescents’ and young adults’ lived experiences following VTE to gain an in-depth understanding of their long-term, mental well-being.
Methods
Which Propensity Score Method Best Reduces Confounder Imbalance? An Example From a Retrospective Evaluation of a Childhood Obesity Intervention
哪项倾向评分减少混杂因素失衡效果最佳?儿童肥胖干预回顾性评价病例
Propensity score (PS) methods are increasingly being employed by researchers to reduce bias arising from confounder imbalance when using observational data to examine intervention effects. The purpose of this study was to examine PS theory and methodology and compare application of three PS methods (matching, stratification, weighting) to determine which best improves confounder balance.
Validation of Salivary Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha of Healthy Adult Volunteers by Enzyme Immunoassay
酶联免疫分析成人志愿者的唾液白介素6和肿瘤坏死因子a的确认
Despite the use of saliva with enzyme immunoassay (EIA) methods validated for use with blood to measure interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), there has been limited validation of saliva as a matrix for EIA of IL-6 and TNF-α.
Brief Reports
Resilience, Stress, Stigma, and Barriers to Mental Healthcare in U.S. Air Force Nursing Personnel
美国空军护理人员的适应性、压力、耻辱感及心理保健障碍
Stigma may deter military service members from seeking mental health (MH) services. Previously, substantial proportions of U.S. Air Force (USAF) registered nurses and medical technicians reported concerns about stigma with accessing MH services; in particular, that unit members might lose confidence in them or perceive them as weak, unit leadership might treat them differently, or accessing care might affect career advancement.
Testing Components of a Self-Management Theory in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
T1D青少年自我管理理论内容的试验
The role of self-management in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus is not well understood. The purpose of the research was to examine the relationship of key individual and family self-management theory, context, and process variables on proximal (self-management behaviors) and distal (hemoglobin A1c and diabetes-specific health-related quality of life) outcomes in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
