“…The NPC Scale can be used to evaluate the outcome of nursing education programs, to assess nurses' competences in relation to the needs in health care organizations and to identify self-reported competences. [7,[11][12][13] The English version of the NPC Scale is now ready to be used in a full-scale research project among English-speaking nurse students and/or registered nurses. An example is the European Network Nursing Academies (ENNA) who has decided to use the NPC Scale in a joint European research project.…”

“…The NPC Scale has proved to be reliable and valid, [7] and has been used in several published studies including both nursing students on the point of graduation and registered nurses with professional experience, [11][12][13] as well as in publications in process by Theander et al [14] and Nilsson et al [15] Furthermore, the NPC Scale has been presented at both national medical conferences [16] and international nursing conferences, [17] and has yielded great interest from researchers in Europe, South and North America, and Asia. Therefore, the Swedish NPC research group decided to translate the NPC Scale into English to facilitate international use of the instrument.…”

Professional competence in nursing is of crucial importance for high quality care and patient related outcomes. A new instrument for measuring competence in nursing has been developed by a Swedish research group. The instrument is called the Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale and is based on national guidelines, and the WHOs European Strategy for Nursing and Midwifery. The NPC Scale consists of 88 items distributed in eight competence areas, and measures self-reported professional competence. The target groups are nursing students at the point of graduation and registered nurses. As the NPC Scale has rendered great interest from researchers internationally, the NPC research group decided to translate the Scale into English to facilitate international use of the instrument. The aim of this article was to describe the translation process used to create an English version of the NPC Scale. This article describes the translation process from Swedish to English and its challenges. The translation process resulted in an English version of the NPC Scale ready for internationally usage.

Tailoring women after an acute myocardial infarction about lifestyle changes must include knowledge about the benefits of leisure-time physical activity, and that even a small amount of activity is associated with a better health-related quality of life. The utmost important assignment is to motivate the women for regular physical activity in their leisure-time. Older women need special attention.

Background: Ineffective coping skills and rumination can worsen existing health conditions and contribute to disease and illness. Sense of coherence (SOC) positively influences coping and is one's belief that life is meaningful, manageable, and understandable. People with higher rumination are much less likely to offer problem solving coping skills. The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between SOC and rumination. Survey questionnaires were administered to 211 participants concerning sense of coherence (SOC), demographics and rumination. Linear regression was used to assess the association between SOC and rumination while controlling for gender, race, age and marital status. The model was found to be significant with a R2 value of 0.30. Results indicated that SOC has an inverse relationship with rumination, with a β coefficient of 0.38. Females are also much more likely to ruminate compared to males, with a β coefficient of 4.17. It is important to understand the relationship between SOC, a variable that can improve health, and rumination, a variable that can decrease health so that health educators and therapists can offer improved skills and techniques to improve thinking patterns, resilience and stress management.
