This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach to study the lived experience of persons who participate in support groups for caregivers of persons with severe mental illness in Jamaica, West Indies. The findings of the study uncovered that caregiving is a frustrating responsibility with considerable financial burden, but support groups are helpful sites for learning of important information, and they create communities of support and encouragement that boost confidence in caring for others and oneself.

Cognitive flexibility, resilience, and anger management are critical for health care workers operating in high-stress environments such as intensive care units (ICUs). This study examined the levels of cognitive flexibility, resilience, and anger management among ICU health care workers and explored the relationships among these variables. This descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted between July and October 2022 in the ICUs of a training and research hospital in Türkiye (N = 147). Data were collected via the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, the Brief Resilience Scale, and the Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and Pearson correlation analyses were performed. The participants showed high cognitive flexibility (mean ± SD; Cognitive Flexibility Inventory = 78.79 ± 10.13) and moderate resilience (Brief Resilience Scale = 20.76 ± 4.49). Cognitive flexibility was positively correlated with resilience (r = .574, p < .001). Resilience and cognitive flexibility were negatively associated with trait anger and maladaptive anger expression styles (p < .05), whereas resilience was positively associated with anger control (p < .05). Cognitive flexibility and resilience may function as protective factors against maladaptive anger responses among ICU health care workers. Strengthening these competencies may support emotional regulation, reduce burnout risk, and improve the quality of clinical and assistive care in intensive care settings.

This column presents a scholarly dialogue with Dr. Lorraine O. Walker.

Shared decision making (SDM) is an approach in which patients and healthcare providers simultaneously work to make decisions about tests, treatments, or chronic conditions management. To explore any possible interventions between cancer patients, nurses in the SDM process need to be up to data on the current literature. A global focused literature review of English and Italian language papers on the topic was done. The search included the use of the following terms: shared decision making, cancer patient, and nurse. Fourteen studies that were the best fit with the inclusion criteria were included to create this narrative review. The conclusion was that cancer nurses seemed to be relevant in cancer teams to support patients in their SDM processes. They do this by balancing the evidence on options, preferences, and values through a decision coaching approach to determine the best practices for supporting patients in their decisions.

Upright standing posture is a hallmark of human bipedalism, distinguishing humans from other species. The core of good standing posture refers to the optimal body alignment with significant implications of postural health. Guided by the Roy adaptation model, the purpose of this paper is to examine existing methods for measuring good standing posture from both instrumental and non-instrumental perspectives, offering analytical insights into practical applications, strengths, and limitations of various measurement approaches. Findings underscore the need for a standardized measurement protocol, providing nurses with a useful reference to support informed advisory care to individuals seeking to improve their postural health.

As a universal humanuniverse living experience, feeling comfortable is deeply related to living quality, creating unique and everchanging meaning for the individual. The purpose of this inquiry was to discover the discerning extant moment of the universal humanuniverse living experience of feeling comfortable. The horizon of inquiry was the humanbecoming paradigm, and the mode of inquiry was Parsesciencing. The historians were 10 individuals who were 18 years of age and older, living in the community. The discerning extant moment of the universal humanuniverse living experience of feeling comfortable, the major discovery of this Parsesciencing inquiry, was: Feeling comfortable is gratifying tranquility amid possible distress arising with varied involvements in moving with sureness-unsureness. The unique insight of feeling comfortable emerging with Parsesciencing will contribute to understanding the universal humanuniverse living experience of feeling comfortable and the humanbecoming paradigm, ultimately expanding nursing knowledge.
