Validación del instrumento: conocimientos, creencias y aceptación de la vacuna del virus del papiloma humano

Introduction: The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer. Having an instrument that measures the acceptance of the HPV vaccine, as well as the factors involved in the acceptance process, is an urgent need for HPV prevention. The objective was to validate the knowledge, beliefs, and acceptance of the human papillomavirus vaccine instrument.Materials and Methods: The validation process was carried out through a descriptive, cross-sectional study and a two-phase process. The population consisted of 393 mothers of girls between the ages of 9 and 11 years, belonging to the State of Puebla, with a non-probabilistic sampling for convenience; the sample was considered at a ratio of 10: 1.Results: A valid and reliable instrument was obtained with a Cronbach's Alpha of .70, a value of p <.000 for Bartlett’s sphericity test, and .82 for the KMO test. In this sense, the factor analysis resulted in a total of 40 items divided into six dimensions.Discussion: The methodological process allowed to have an empirical indicator adapted and validated for the Mexican context, since it is the only one within the context that measures the factors related to the acceptance of the HPV vaccine.Conclusion: We conclude that having an empirical indicator adapted to the Spanish language, which measures acceptance and related factors, is a contribution of great importance to society and an advance in nursing science. Introducción: El virus del papiloma humano es la primera causa de cáncer cervicouterino, contar con un instrumento que mida la aceptación de la vacuna del VPH, así como los factores que intervienen, es una necesidad para la prevención del VPH. El objetivo fue realizar la validación del instrumento conocimientos, creencias y aceptación de la vacuna del virus del papiloma humano.Materiales y Métodos: El proceso de validación se realizó a traves de un estudio descriptivo, transversal y de proceso de dos fases. La población fue de 393 madres de niñas de 9 a 11 años, pertenecientes al Estado de Puebla, con un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, la muestra se consideró por razón de 10:1.Resultados: Se obtuvo un instrumento válido y confiable con un coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach de .70, un valor de p<.000 para la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett y la prueba de Kaiser-Meyer Olkin obtuvo un resultado de .82, en este sentido el análisis factorial dio como resultado un total de 40 ítems divididos en seis dimensiones.Discusión: El proceso metodológico permitió contar con un indicador empírico adaptado y valido al contexto mexicano, debido a que es el único dentro del contexto que mide los factores relacionados con la aceptación de la vacuna del virus del papiloma humano.Conclusión: Se concluye que tener un indicador empírico adaptado al idioma español, que mida la aceptación y los factores relacionados, es un aporte de gran importancia para la sociedad y un avance para la ciencia en enfermería.

Overview of Nurses Perception about Caring Based on Technology in the ICU and ER of Jember Region Hospital

Caring in acute and critical care rooms has a more complex and dynamic nature due to unstable patient conditions and requires more attention from nurses. Nurses' technological competence represents their caring based on nursing science practice. This study aimed to find out how nurses’perception of caring based on technology in the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Room in Jember Region. This study used a quantitative method based on a descriptive survey. This study used a total sampling, with a total of 47 nurses as respondents. The researcher used a demographic questionnaire and modification of caring attribute, professional self-concept, and technological influence scale to collect data. In this study, univariate analysis was applied to analyze the data. The median score was 68, as the scores approach the maximum score of 76. This study demonstrates that nurses have a good perception toward caring based on technology. The conclusion on this study is nurses perception of caring based on technology are generally positive. To further improve nurses' perceptions of caring expressed through technological competence, the researcher advises the managerial department to facilitate education and training on technological competence in order to provide better care and caring to patients.

The Revelation of Beauty in Nursing

A recent insight into the attributes of beauty is used to show its relations to nursing science and its theories and paradigms. It is indicated how insight into beauty came from energyspirit perceptions-experiences of feelings from art objects. Rogers and her science of unitary human beings are viewed from the attributes of beauty. It is recommended nursing consider beauty as a concept for the advancement of nursing science.

Standpoint Epistemology and Nursing Science

In this article, I propose that engagement in nursing practice affords an epistemic advantage and should be included in defining nursing science and as a warrant for scientific knowledge. I appeal to standpoint epistemology, a philosophical theory, to support my proposal. A new conception of objectivity, which aligns with the contemporary practice of science and standpoint theory, is discussed. The article presents a preliminary theory of nursing standpoint theory that explains epistemic advantage of a practicing nurse. Open questions about nursing science conclude the article.

Nursing Is the Light in Institutional Darkness: A Dialogue With Dr. Jean Watson

The year 2022 is Nursing Science Quarterly’s 35th year in publication, and we are interested in dialoging with some of the discipline’s nurse theorists. We hope to uncover some influences and origins of their theoretical thinking and hear about their current projects related to nursing science. In this Scholarly Dialogue column, we dialogue with Dr. Jean Watson, nurse theorist, director of the Watson Caring Science Institute, and Distinguished Professor/Dean Emerita of University of Colorado Denver, College of Nursing.

Watson’s View of Nursing Science Quarterly’s 35th Anniversary

This paper celebrates NSQ over the past 35 years, acknowledging its role in advancing and sustaining nursing as a distinct discipline, guided by unique knowledge, theories, and a maturing nursing science paradigm. A play on the number 35 can be considered significant and symbolic in numerology—as 35 represents the number 8. Eight represents wholeness, infinity, harmony, and leadership—all characteristics that NSQ has stood for as a leading nursing science publication.

Designing and Using Surveys in Nursing Research: A Contemporary Discussion

This commentary summarizes the contemporary design and use of surveys or questionnaires in nursing science, particularly in light of recent reporting guidelines to standardize and improve the quality of survey studies in healthcare research. The benefits, risks, and limitations of these types of data collection tools are also briefly discussed.

Reporting of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in clinical trials published in nursing science journals: a descriptive study

Background Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in research positively affects the relevance, quality, and impact of research. Around 11% of studies published in leading medical journals demonstrate PPIE. The extent of PPIE in nursing research has not been previously studied. Methods A descriptive study of PPIE in clinical trials published in general nursing science journals between 1st January and 31st August 2021. Data were extracted from included studies against the five items of the Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public (GRIPP2) short form reporting checklist. Results We searched 27 journals and identified 89 randomised controlled clinical trials. There was no statement or evidence of PPIE in any of the included trials. Conclusion Nurse researchers need to ensure that they purposefully involve patients in their research and report this in papers describing study findings.
