This study translated the Work Need Satisfaction Scales (WNSS), which was conceptualized in the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), and tested the reliability and validity of the Chinese version (WNSS-C). In Study 1 ( N = 423), the WNSS was translated into Chinese, and an exploratory factor analysis yielded a five-factor solution representing needs related to survival, social contribution, competence, relatedness, and autonomy. In Study 2 ( N = 425), confirmatory factor analyses found no significant differences between the correlated five-factor, higher-order, and higher-order self-determination needs models. The results suggest the effectiveness of using a flexible five-factor model. Then, configural, metric, and scalar invariance models were tested, demonstrating that the WNSS-C is equivalent across gender, age, education level, and job position. Finally, we tested the concurrent, convergent, and discriminant validity of the WNSS-C and demonstrated that WNSS-C is a useful tool in the Chinese context.

This study translates the Organization Big Five Scale (ORG-B5) into Chinese and tests its reliability and validity. In Study 1 (N=406), the ORG-B5 was translated into Chinese, and an exploratory factor analysis established the scale’s factorial validity. In Study 2 (N=391), confirmatory factor analyses found that the five-factor correlation model fit the data best. The results from the configural, metric, and scalar invariance models also demonstrate that the ORG-B5 is equivalent across gender, age, and work tenure. The relationship between ORG-B5 and related constructs was also explored further. This study argues that the Chinese version of ORG-B5 provides researchers with a psychometrically sound and efficient tool to assess the Big Five personality traits within organizations in the Chinese context.

The present study aims to validate the Chinese version of the Work Volition Scales (WVS), an instrument that assesses three components of work volition: volition, financial constraint, and construct constraint. In Study 1 ( N = 498), the WVS was translated into Chinese, and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted resulting in that three factors were consistent with the original scale. In Study 2 ( N = 442), the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the bifactor model provided the most parsimonious fit to the data. The measurement invariance test then revealed that the WVS is equivalent across gender, age, education level, and job tenure. In addition, convergent and concurrent validity supported the finding that the WVS and three subscales are linked with related variables. The results support significant incremental validity in predicting career satisfaction, meaningful work, and life well-being. The findings suggest that the WVS is a valuable instrument for researchers and career counselors who seek to explore work volition among Chinese working adults.

Background: To investigate the pathogenic characteristics and risk factors of pediatric severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of hospitalized children with severe CAP, including sex, age, results of sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) bacterial and fungal cultures, respiratory viruses, serum Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)-IgM and Chlamydia Pneumoniae (CP)-IgM, and BALF or blood (1-3)-β-D-glucan/galactomannan test. Results:679 children with severe CAP were included in the analysis. The number of cases infected with MP was higher in males than in females. There were significant differences between the ≤1-year and >1-year groups, namely for bacterial, viral, MP, and CP infections. The top three bacteria cultured were Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The top three viruses detected were adenovirus (ADV), respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza virus. The case numbers of ADV and MP infections in severe CAP were significantly higher than those of other infections, and ADV-positive infection was significantly associated with MP infection. MP infection was a risk factor for severe ADV-infected pneumonia, while sex, age, bacteria, CP, fungal, and ADV infections were risk factors for severe MP-infected pneumonia. Conclusions: ADV-combined MP infection is an independent risk factor for the development of severe CAP in children.

Review question / Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to compare mindfulness and routine treatment in terms of efficacy and acceptability in the mental health problem in hemodialysis patient to better inform clinical practice. To this end, the proposed systematic review will address the following question: Which is the best choice to reduce depression and a n x i e t y, i m p ro v e s l e e p q u a l i t y a n d t r e a t m e n t c o m p l i a n c e i n p a t i e n t undergoing hemodialysis, mindfulness or routine treatment.
