“…PsyCap has been proven to be effective in improving individual performance and relieving negative emotions. Empirical research showed that PsyCap was negatively associated with psychological symptoms, such as anxiety ( Minglu et al, 2020 ) and depression ( Shen et al, 2014 ), and could improve nurses’ care competencies ( Guo et al, 2021 ) and quality of life of cancer patients ( Guo et al, 2022 ). And PsyCap also played a mediating role in the relationship between anxiety or depression and other related variables ( Rahimnia et al, 2013 ; Jiang, 2021 ; Zhao et al, 2021 ).…”

IntroductionAnxiety often precedes depression, and the pathway from anxiety to depression may be affected by multiple exposures. Our research aims to explore the mediating effect of the social support availability (SSA) between anxiety and depression and how it is moderated by psychological capital.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among Chinese emergency physicians at the top-level general hospitals in eastern China. Data were collected via the questionnaire including anxiety and depression subscales of Symptom Checklist-90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire as well as Social Support Rating Scale. The PROCESS v3.4 macro was employed to assess the mediating role of SSA and a moderating role of psychological capital.ResultsA total of 536 valid samples were filtered. Anxiety, depression, SSA, and psychological capital were significant correlated. Anxiety was positively associated with depression (β = 0.82, p < 0.001), and the SSA mediated the relationship between anxiety and depression (indirect effect = 0.013, 95%BootCI [0.005, 0.023]). Psychological capital (specifically, self-efficacy, hope and resilience) further played a moderating role in the relationship between SSA and depression (β = 0.06, p < 0.01).ConclusionThe mental health of emergency physicians should be concerned. In order to decrease anxiety and depression, SSA and psychological capital should be increased as the interventions for emergency physicians.

“…As for the term ‘spirituality’, which is unfamiliar to many Chinese, the phrase ‘writing about my spirituality’ was modified to ‘writing down the spiritual world in my brain’, and specific examples of spiritual resources such as ‘temple’, ‘church’ or ‘other religious sites’ were added (Guo et al, 2022; Li et al, 2017; Xie et al, 2019).

“…Twenty‐six studies were quantitative designs and were conducted in mainland China ( n = 18), Taiwan ( n = 6), and the USA ( n = 2). Among them, five studies explored spiritual needs (Cheng et al, 2018; Deng et al, 2015; Du et al, 2022), spiritual state (Cheng et al, 2019), and spiritual nursing needs (Li et al, 2017); 11 studies examined the correlation between spiritual aspects and other variables (Chang et al, 2022; Cho & Lu, 2017; Feng et al, 2021; Guo et al, 2022; Kao et al, 2013; Li et al, 2012, 2022; Tao et al, 2022; Wang & Lin, 2016; Yang et al, 2021; Yeung et al, 2014); seven studies were conducted to translate spirituality‐related instruments originally developed in Western countries into Chinese for use with Chinese people with cancer (Astrow et al, 2012; Lin et al, 2015; Liu et al, 2016; Lo et al, 2016; Tang & Kao, 2017; Xie et al, 2019; Zhao et al, 2019); and three studies aimed to examine the effects of interventions on the spirituality of Chinese people with cancer (Chen et al, 2021; Sun et al, 2021; Xiao et al, 2022). One study with a mixed methods design was conducted in mainland China to explore the quality of life (including a spiritual dimension) of breast cancer survivors (Cheng et al, 2016).…”

For religious activities, some religious terms were replaced with culturally appropriate concepts such as from ‘scripture reading’ to ‘positive reading’ (Cheng et al, 2018; Du et al, 2022; Guo et al, 2022; Li et al, 2017; Xie et al, 2019), ‘prayer’ was supplemented with terms ‘chanting’, ‘worshipping deities’, ‘burning incense’ and ‘offering tribute’ (Tao et al, 2022), specific examples such as ‘chanting scriptures’, ‘praying’, ‘morning ceremony’ were added (Guo et al, 2022; Li et al, 2022; Xie et al, 2019), and ‘sacrament’, ‘mass’, and other rituals not commonly performed by Chinese people were removed (Cheng et al, 2018; Du et al, 2022).

AimTo elucidate how the concept of spirituality has been addressed in studies with Chinese people with cancer.DesignA scoping review.MethodsPatterns in conceptual definitions of spirituality and indicators for measuring spirituality were analysed.Data Sources (Include Search Dates)Literature published from inception to August 2022 was searched in five electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO and a Chinese database).ResultsUsing data from 10 qualitative studies, a new taxonomy of concepts of spirituality among Chinese people with cancer was derived, consisting of four categories: Creation of meaning, Connection, Transcendence and Existence. A total of 12 instruments developed outside of Chinese contexts and used to measure dimensions of spirituality across 27 quantitative studies were compared to the taxonomy developed in this review, and patterns were identified according to the dimensions of spirituality. Several instruments required modifications or additional explanations in questions regarding God/Higher Power and religion.ConclusionThe four categories of spirituality classified in the current review are considered universal across all cultural contexts. Spirituality is multidimensional and functional concept, and the components of the instruments differed depending on which dimension of spirituality was being measured.ImpactThe findings of this study suggest that for measuring spirituality in research and clinical settings with Chinese people with cancer, it is important to use culturally appropriate scales that are consistent with the dimensions of spirituality being measured.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareEven instruments developed outside of the Chinese context could be used for Chinese people with cancer if appropriately selected for their intended use.Reporting MethodThis paper adheres to the EQUATOR guidelines and has no direct patient or public contribution.

AimTo investigate the structural relationships among perceived stress (PS), positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and health literacy (HL) in patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) and construct a model to explore the relationships of PS and PsyCap on HL.BackgroundHL is critical in the rehabilitation and management of patients with MCC. Extensive understanding of the relationships between research variables can help nursing staff to implement effective programmes that improve the level of HL of patients. However, currently there is no research that has evaluated the structural relationships among these variables using a single model.MethodsThis study adhered to the STROBE guidelines for reporting cross‐sectional studies. The Health Literacy Scale for Chronic Patients, Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) and Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire were used to assess HL, PS and PsyCap, respectively. Questionnaires were distributed to 317 patients with MCC attending a tertiary general care hospital in China from February to May 2023, using convenience sampling approach. Structural equation modelling was used to validate the proposed model.ResultsThe findings showed that PS has a negative relationship with HL and PsyCap. PS was indirectly associated with HL through PsyCap. The results indicated that PsyCap was positively associated with HL. The PS and PsyCap explained 64% of the variance in HL.ConclusionsThe findings showed that the proposed model had high validity and structural relationships between chosen variables were observed for MCC patients.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThese results may help nursing staff develop strategies to improve the HL of patients with MCC, which should focus on reducing PS and enhancing PsyCap to improve HL. Nursing staff can provide targeted psychological counselling and health guidance for patients to alleviate negative emotions and further promote their HL.Patient or Public ContributionParticipate in research and fill out questionnaires.
