Summary
This study developed the Nurse Job Rotation Stress Scale (NJRS). The NJRS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring nurse job rotation stress in nursing management and research.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Occupational Health
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Job rotation is common in nursing, potentially causing stress.
- Existing tools may not adequately measure nurse job rotation stress.
Purpose of the Study:
- Develop and validate the Nurse Job Rotation Stress Scale (NJRS).
- Assess the reliability and validity of the NJRS.
Main Methods:
- Convenience sampling recruited 403 nurses from a Taiwanese medical center.
- The NJRS was developed and administered.
- Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed.
Main Results:
- Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors explaining 74.11% of variance.
- Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor structure and construct validity.
- The 10-item NJRS demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87).
Conclusions:
- The NJRS is a reliable and valid instrument.
- The NJRS is suitable for measuring nurse job rotation stress.
- The scale can be used for nursing management and research.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.7K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

01:18Transformation of Plane Stress
858
Studying stress transformation is essential in understanding how stress components within a material, like a cube under plane stress, change with rotation. This change is analyzed by considering a prismatic element within the cube. As the element rotates, the stress components acting on it—both normal and shearing stresses—change in magnitude and orientation. This change is quantified using trigonometric functions of the rotation angle, relating the forces acting on the rotated element's...

01:23Components of Stress

Stress analysis under multiple loading conditions is intricate, necessitating a comprehensive grasp of normal and shearing stresses. Consider a small cube at point O, subjected to stress on all six faces, visible or not. Normal stress components σx, σy, σz act perpendicularly to the x, y, and z axes. Shearing stress components τxy and τxz are exerted on faces perpendicular to these axes.
Interestingly, the hidden cube faces also experience these stresses, equal and...

01:20Psychological Responses to Stress
876
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

01:22Self-Report Tests of Personality
1.2K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.
