Background: Workload stress has a great impact on workforce, which suggests that intensity and frequency of stress contributes to the cumulative effects of workplace stressors. Nurses in acute healthcare systems are predisposed to work-related stress based on moral factors. Stress results when nurses are exposed to ambiguous moral situations, they experience distress when they face a situation with contradictory demands or are hindered to take actions that they experience as ethically demanding. Nurses who have high moral sensitivity will experience ethical demands that may give them a bad conscience when they do not act in accordance with these demands. Such experiences have been described as stress of conscience because they give rise to a troubled conscience.
Purpose: To assess the level of stress of conscience of nurses in acute settings, identify situations that result in high levels of moral distress, explore implications of moral distress, and evaluate associations among moral distress and the characteristics of nurses.
Method: A correlational, cross-sectional design was used in this study to examine the predictive relationship between levels of stress of conscience and workplace stressors among nurses working in acute hospitals.
Results: Data were analyzed from 199 nurses licensed. Correlations among the variables demonstrated a moderate positive and significant relationship among Workplace stress factors and stress of conscience intensity (r = 0.46, p < .01), however, a lower significant relation was between Workplace stress variables and Stress of Conscience frequency (r = 0.19, P < 0.1). Regression analysis resulted in a model that explained approximately 53% of the total variation in Stress of Conscience intensity (R= 0.53, Adjusted R2= 0.24, P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Workplace stress was perceived as a constraint in the workplace environment, prohibiting nurses from acting in what they believed was the ethically correct manner, impacting their actions in relation to patient care, and provoking emotions associated with Stress of Conscience. Furthermore, there is a need for support from the managers and a supportive organization for reducing nursesʼ work-related stress, which in turn can create a positive caring climate where the nurses are able to provide high quality care.

There is an inadequate understanding of what the experience of quality of life is like for persons living life challenges. The purpose of this study, guided by Parseʼs theory, was to investigate the universal health experience of quality of life. Four middleage African-American women diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type II within the past five years and who were either insulindependent or taking oral hypoglycemics accepted the invitation to participate in the study. Access to participants was gained through a local acquaintance network in a semi-urban community in a southern state. The study was approved by the IRB of two universities. Data consisted of tape recordings and transcripts from dialogical engagements. The process of extraction-synthesis was used to uncover the meaning of the phenomenon. Three core concepts, cherished engagements, burdens, and nurture emerged in each participantʼs story.
There are many implications for further research from the findings of this study. The core concepts lend themselves to further inquiry using Parseʼs method. Further light may be shed on the study of lived experience and quality of life with people who are living challenging life situations including people of a particular culture group or age range. Further research in this area can increase knowledge about universal lived experiences, contributing new understanding of quality of life and lived experiences in the face of a life challenge, and expanding the knowledge base of the nursing discipline in general.

This predictive study aims to determine the correlationbetween factors such as gender, age, type of chest-pain and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), and to examine the predictability of CAD using the Diamond-Forrester model. The samples were 113 patients who were diagnosed with conditions at risk cardiovascular disease and required a Coronary Angiogram (CAG) treatmentin the tertiary hospital.
The instruments were: 1) the assessment of personal data, 2) Thai short-version of the Rose Angina questionnaire (content validity 0.91and reliability were 0.80), 3) Diamond-Forrester model and 4) the result of Coronary Angiogram (CAG). Data were analyzed using statistical Point biserial and Pearson correlation between gender, age, type of chest pain and coronary artery disease. Logistic model for case was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity from the Diamond-Forrester model.
The 113 patients with Coronary Artery Disease consisted of 66males(58.34%) and 47 females(41.6%), with mean age group of 64.25 ±10.61(65-75 years). Thai short -version of the Rose angina questionnaire found that age and type of chest pain had a statistically significantly effects on CAD(p <.05), but gender did not. The sensitivity and specificity of the Diamond-Forrester model were 95.23% (60 out of 63 patients), and 2.00% (1 out of 50 patients) respectively. Positive predictive value (PPV) was 55.05%, Negative predictive value (NPV) was 25.00%, and Accuracy=55.98%.
In conclusion, the assessment tool showed very high sensitivity (95.23%) and the prediction of coronary artery disease and low specificity (2.00%) in the non-coronary artery disease. The accuracy of CAD prediction was essential for healthcare providers to accurately diagnose CAD, identify the severity of condition, and promptly treat CAD patients.

Background: Patients with IBD live with symptoms that are both physical and psychological burdening. Patients need self-care to manage daily life. There is a lack of measures to assess self-care in patients with IBD with the intention to support and strengthen individual efforts to improve their self-care. To offer appropriate care for patients with IBD, individualized self-care advice may aim to maintain health.
Objectives: The aim was to develop and evaluate the IBD Self-Care questionnaire for assessment of self-care among patients with IBD.
Methods: This is a validation study applying both qualitative and quantitative methods based on recommendations for questionnaire development. An interview study on self-care in patients with IBD (n=20) was performed and opinions about items of self-care was obtained from an expert panel (n=6) and patients (n=100). Data was collected between November 2014 to April 2016 in three phases: (1) item generation based on an interview study on self-care in patients with IBD (n=20), (2) early evaluation including Content validity Index (CVI) was measuredby an expert panel and patients were ranking the items to consider selection of items, also cognitive interviewing was used in a pre-test to determine the usability of the questionnaireand (3) final evaluation with a pilot study (n=30) and test-retest (n=50). Test-retest stability was established after three weeks. Validity was considered through two follow-up questions. Quantitative and qualitative analyses resulted in a reduction of the items from 51 items into 9 questions and 16 quotations.
Results: A total of 180 patients with IBD participated in this study, of who86 with Crohnʼs disease and 94with ulcerative colitis. The IBD Self-Care questionnaire consists of 9 questions and 16 quotations and the first version is developed in the Swedish language. Evidence of initial validity could be demonstrated with the involvement of an expert panel and patients with IBD. Reliability in test-retest statistics of responses on each item showed between measure 1 and 2, 78-98% conformity, except for one item (38%).
Conclusion: This study contributes to an individual disease-specific assessment of self-care through the development of a new IBD Self-Care questionnaire for assessment of self-care among patients with IBD in Sweden. Further studies, prospectively are needed to test the IBD Self-Care questionnaire in a sample of English speaking participants.

Objectives: In painful operations like invasive procedures, it is aimed to analyse the effect ofmakingthe babies listen to white noise CD by using NIPS pain scale.
Methods: This is an experimental type of research made on 60 new-borns, ranging from 0-28 days-old, 28 weeks-old and over, and coming to intensive care unit in Gaziantep CengizGökcek Maternity and Children Hospital in Turkey.
Application of the study has commenced on the date of 1 November 2015 and has been completed on the date of 31 May 2016. Two groups, one is experimental and the other is control group, selected by simple random sampling have. A thirties group selected with simple random sampling which are on condition that an experimental group (being exposed to white noise) and an control group (not being exposed to any action) has composed sample of population.
Babies in experimental group on invasive procedure were exposed to white noise CD. Babies were recorded while they werelistening to white noise during invasive procedure. Then, NIPS pain scale on the questionnaire form and efficiency of white noise have been evaluated by comparing the babiesʼ duration of crying.
Results and Conclusion: Comparison of Chi-square has been made in terms of defining characteristics of the babies in control and experimental group such as gender (p:0.10), kilo (p:0.19), circumstanceof being premature and born mature (p:0.59), races (p:0.60), and type of invasive procedure (p:0.12), and a statistically significant result has not been acquired. As it is also understood from this result, both of the groups are homogeneous and between them there is not a meaningful difference which will influence reliability of study.
Whether gender of babies have an impact on duration of crying has been compared, a statistically significant resulthas not been acquired (p>0.05). Apgar score believed to influence babyʼs duration of crying has also been compared with variables such as head, length, kilo, birth week, delivery method of baby but statistically significant result has not been acquired (p<0.05). New-bornsʼ duration of crying has been found statistically significant in Independent Samples T test (p<0.05) which was performed between two independent groups with a 95% confidence interval. Duration of crying in the group being exposed towhite noise (18.20 sec) has been determined lower than that of control group (44.96 sec). In the end, usage of white noise CD on new-born during invasive procedure has been determined to be applicable.
