The Development of Schematics to Illustrate Women's Experiences with Adjuvant Hormone Therapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer.
Non-adherence to adjuvant hormone therapy prescribed orally in the treatment of breast cancer is complex as the literature has shown. Many women find it hard to adhere to the hormonal medicines they are prescribed and expected to take for at least 5 years following the initial management of their breast cancer. Arguably, communicating other women's 'trials, tribulations, and triumphs' with medication-taking could help newly-diagnosed patients to better prepare for the journey ahead. Our objective was to visually represent women's experiences with these medicines using data synthesized in the literature. ⋯ Synthesised summaries of women's experiences with oral hormone therapy for breast cancer were visualised via three validated schematics. The schematics could aid patient-professional communication to help anticipate and tackle negative experiences and support decisions to take hormone medication in breast cancer.

Relationship Between Family Caregiver Burden and Medication Adherence in Patients with Mechanical Valve Replacement: A Structural Equation Model.
Oral anticoagulant is a necessary long-term treatment after mechanical valve replacement (MVR), and medication adherence has a great impact on patients with MVR. Although family caregiver burden is negatively correlated with medication adherence, little is known about the underlying mechanism. ⋯ The mediating effect of post-traumatic growth between family caregiver burden and medication adherence existed in patients with MVR. Interventions considering post-traumatic growth may be useful to increase medication adherence and improve patient rehabilitation.

The Relationships Between Patient Experience with Nursing Care, Patient Satisfaction and Patient Loyalty: A Structural Equation Modeling.
When creating and managing patient loyalty, medical institutes always focus on medical technicians, overall healthcare quality, and hospital brands, and the role of nursing seems to be underappreciated. Empirical evidence about the relationship between patient experience with nursing care and patient loyalty is limited, especially in the Chinese healthcare system. This study aimed to explore to what extent patient experience with nursing care influences patient loyalty to the hospital and the impact routes. ⋯ This study confirmed the importance of nursing care in creating patient loyalty; improving the patient experience with nursing care would be beneficial to patient loyalty. When creating patient loyalty, hospital administrators and nursing managers should make efforts to develop positive patient experience of nursing care in daily clinical practice through organizational changes, culture shaping and staff education.

Glycemic Control and Its Relationship with Diabetes Self-Care Behaviors Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Northern Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disease that significantly impacts morbidity and mortality worldwide. Glycemic control is central in diabetes management, yet complex and challenging to achieve; it can be affected by various factors. Diabetes self-care behaviors are vital strategies for effective T2DM management. ⋯ The proportions of poor glycemic control and unsatisfactory self-care behaviors were high among T2DM patients. To enhance patients' self-care behaviors and lifestyles changes, the patients need tailored diabetes self-care management educational and supportive programs, conducted by qualified diabetes educators using culturally sensitive strategies.

Antibiotics Self-Medication Practice and Associated Factors Among Residents in Dessie City, Northeast Ethiopia: Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Taking antibiotics without prescription would result in the emergency of antibiotics resistance. The aim of this study was to assess antibiotics self-medication practice and associated factors among residents in Dessie City, Ethiopia. ⋯ Antibiotics self-medication practice among residents was high. Educational status, using mass media and previous experiences as sources of information on antibiotics, having awareness of antibiotics resistance, and knowledge of antimicrobial resistance were significantly associated with self medication of antibiotics. Attention should be given by the stakeholders to reduce self medication practice with antibiotics.
