With the rising popularity of mindfulness practice, it is necessary and crucial to evaluate mindfulness using comprehensive and objective measures. The instruments to assess mindfulness in China mainly evaluate mindfulness as a state or trait mode. Few process measures have been developed to clarify effective therapy benefits of the alterations obtained using mindfulness practice. Therefore, this study aims to adapt the Applied Mindfulness Process Scale (AMPS) into Mandarin and explore in detail the reliability and validity of this novel-translated measure. Following cross-cultural modification for original AMPS into Mandarin as per established guidelines, psychometric evaluation was performed on a cohort of 234 Chinese adults. Construct validity was analyzed through exploratory factor analysis ( = 115), together with confirmatory factor analysis ( = 119). Reliability was assessed by internal consistency together with test-retest reliability. Findings indicated that the internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's alpha being 0.936. The principal component analysis led to a three-factor structure that explained 67.374% of all variations. The three-factor model was consistent with the original scale model. Based upon confirmatory factor analyses, all fitting indices satisfied the standard, which showed a close fit to the data. Therefore, the newly multi-culturally modified AMPS has sufficient validity, test-retest reliability, together with internal consistency. Chinese AMPS may offer researchers and clinicians a psychometrically optimized tool for evaluating the application of mindfulness and change process within mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in Mainland China.

The global COVID-19 pandemic is still not under effective control, and strong workplace supports with comprehensive mental health interventions are urgently needed to help medical staff effectively respond to the pandemic. This study aimed to verify the effect of an online resourcefulness training program on the resourcefulness, and psychological variables of front-line medical staff working in the COVID-19 isolation ward.

Effect of an online resourcefulness training in improving psychological well-being of front-line medical staff: a quasi-experimental study.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an essential approach of optimizing patient outcomes and driving progress in clinical practice. As an important reserve talent of medical staff and researchers, the clinical postgraduates are expected to become the backbones of supporting the implementation of EBP in clinical units after graduation. The assessment of their EBP learning outcomes is an important issue, yet few tools have been developed specifically in Mainland China. The purpose of this study is to adapt the Evidence-Based Practice Profile Questionnaire (EBPQ) to Mainland China's cultural context and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese EBPQ in clinical postgraduates.

The adoption of digitization has emerged as a new trend in the advancement of healthcare systems. To ensure high-quality care, nurses should possess sufficient skills to assist in the digital transformation of healthcare practices. Suitable tools have seldom been developed to assess nurses' skills in digital applications. This study aimed to develop the Nursing Digital Application Skill Scale (NDASS) and test its psychometric properties.

As fertility rates decline and population ageing intensifies, the conflict between career and childbearing continues to impact clinicians, especially women. Exploring gender differences in the fertility intentions of male and female clinicians could help with identifying barriers to childbearing, developing effective policies to support work-life balance, and addressing the gap in research on gender disparities in this field.

The health literacy of staff in preschool childcare institution is an important issue to consider in providing healthcare for children aged 3-6 years, which could contribute to reducing incidence of diseases and accidental injuries as well as maintaining children's good health. Seldom instruments have been designed to measure health literacy across this group. This research aims to develop a health literacy scale for staff in preschool childcare institutions and validate its psychometric properties.

Health literacy among family caregivers has been found to be strongly correlated with health exposures and outcomes for their children. Accurate assessment of their health literacy contributes to improving child health outcomes. Given the limited evidence on health literacy measures for family caregivers, the study aimed to develop and validate a novel Health Literacy Scale for Family Caregivers of Preschool Children (HLSFC).

Development and psychometric validation of a novel health literacy scale for family caregivers of preschool children.

In the digital era, parental digital competence is being recognized to be essential for effective parenting and improved child health. To address a gap in existing tools that lack specificity for assessing digital competence within the childcare context, this study aimed to develop and validate a novel Parental Digital Competence Scale (PDCS).

A novel digital competence assessment tool for parents: Development and validation study.

The frequent occurrence of public health emergencies in the 21st century has posed significant challenges to global healthcare systems. As crucial members of medical teams, Generation Z nursing interns play a pivotal role in emergency response. However, systematic assessments of preparedness encompassing emergency attitude, professional knowledge, operational skills, and comprehensive competencies among nursing interns remain unexplored.
