“…Firstly, reports of GS made in the present study are highly similar to those made in previously conducted studies in a neurotypical adolescent population using the GSSS [ 22 ]. Likewise, findings regarding the prevalence of FGIDs coincide with those of previously conducted research [ 10 , 53 ]. Specifically, the most common symptoms are diarrhea, stomach discomfort, dyspepsia, and gastroesophageal reflux in adults with typical development.…”

“…Specifically, the most common symptoms are diarrhea, stomach discomfort, dyspepsia, and gastroesophageal reflux in adults with typical development. For example, an incidence of dyspepsia of around 10% was reported [ 53 ], alongside a 10% to 20% incidence of gastroesophageal reflux [ 10 ], in adults with typical development. Further, findings indicate sex differences in GS, with GSSS reports suggesting that females suffer from more severe GS compared to men.…”

Background: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a set of chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms (GS) with great psychobiological complexity. The appearance of FGIDs harms quality of life and drains medical resources. Methods: Psychometric properties of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Severity Scale (GSSS) based on Rome IV criteria were examined in a sample of 1247 individuals with typical development. Observations were randomly divided into two subsets, namely, subsample 1 (n = 624) and subsample 2 (n = 623). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed with data from subsample 1, whilst confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed with data from subsample 2. Internal consistency of the scale was assessed for the whole dataset according to ordinal alpha, whilst four-week reliability was measured according to the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Measurement invariance as a function of sex was also examined, and discriminant–convergent validity of the GSSS was examined through hypothesis testing. Results: EFA revealed a two-factor structure with a moderate percentage of explained variance (51.3%), whilst CFA exhibited an excellent fit of the data to the model. A one-factor CFA model demonstrated an acceptable but slightly lower fit. Internal consistency was moderate and test–retest reliability was deemed adequate. Metric invariance was demonstrated as a function of sex. Hypothesis testing demonstrated strong convergent–discriminant validity with measures of sensory sensitivity, obsessive–compulsive symptoms, and pain. Conclusions: The GSSS is a tool with acceptable and promising psychometric properties when administered to neurotypical adolescents and young adults. The self-report GSSS may promote better understanding of GS involvement in the gut microbiota–brain axis in the general population.

Background Establishing a positive safety-culture environment is essential in healthcare settings to enhance patient care. This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture and adverse events. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 nurses working in critical care units in the Damanhour Governorate in Egypt. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, including the Hospital Survey of Patients’ Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and information on adverse events (AEs). Results The study revealed areas for improvement in patient safety culture, with low positive response rates in staffing (26.6%), non-punitive response to errors (38%), handoffs and transitions (39.4%), teamwork across and within units (42.3%), and overall perception of patient safety (49.3%). The majority of critical care nurses had a moderate to high level of overall perception of patient safety at 42.5% and 42.0%, respectively. The most frequent adverse events reported daily were complaints from patients or their families (65.5%). Adverse drug events and patient falls occurred several times per week in 56.5% and 57.0% of patients, respectively. A significant association was found between low safety culture perception and higher rates of patient falls ( p = .008), adverse drug events (p = .005), and patient/family complaints (p = .030). Conclusion The findings of the study indicate that nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture are moderate. Adverse medication responses, falls, and complaints from patients or their families were noted. Female nurses aged 31 to 40, especially divorced nurses, had more experience, worked fewer than 8 h daily, and had a higher education level, which appeared to influence overall safety culture perceptions. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the prevalence of adverse events and patient safety culture, with cooperation being the key factor.
