Interconnected Challenges in Caregiving: A Multidimensional Analysis of Stroke Survivors’ Caregivers During the Hospital-to-Home Transition
Full text linkAim: Stroke survivors face significant challenges during their transition from hospital to home, impacting both their own well-being and that of their caregivers. Informal caregivers, often family members, assume substantial caregiving roles without professional training, leading to emotional strain and caregiver burden. Understanding the experiences of caregivers during this critical transitional period is essential for developing targeted interventions that alleviate burden and improve caregiving outcomes. This study aims to provide a comprehensive, multidimensional understanding of SS caregivers' experiences during the transitional care phase, using Automatic Analysis of Textual Data to uncover complex relationships and hidden patterns in caregivers' narratives. Methods and results: A qualitative design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 18 SS caregivers. Data were analyzed using Automatic Analysis of Textual Data, applying Exploratory Multidimensional Data Analysis to identify key themes and interconnections within caregivers' experiences.Findings revealed five central themes: the role of social support, the need for practical support, pre-discharge preparation, practical daily challenges, and emotional strain. Social support and practical assistance emerged as crucial factors in reducing emotional burden. Caregivers emphasized the importance of pre-discharge training and clear instructions to navigate the transition. The analysis revealed the interdependence between practical and emotional caregiving demands, highlighting the need for integrated, holistic support systems. Conclusions: This study underscores the complex, multidimensional nature of caregiving during the transition from hospital to home. Results suggest that effective caregiving interventions must address both practical and emotional aspects, integrating preparation, social support, and practical assistance to enhance caregiver resilience and reduce burden
Assessing the Accuracy, Completeness and Safety of ChatGPT-4o Responses on Pressure Injuries in Infants: Clinical Applications and Future Implications
No full textBackground/Objectives: The advent of large language models (LLMs), like platforms such as ChatGPT, capable of generating quick and interactive answers to complex questions, opens the way for new approaches to training healthcare professionals, enabling them to acquire up-to-date and specialised information easily. In nursing, they have proven to support clinical decision making, continuing education, the development of care plans and the management of complex clinical cases, as well as the writing of academic reports and scientific articles. Furthermore, the ability to provide rapid access to up-to-date scientific information can improve the quality of care and promote evidence-based practice. However, their applicability in clinical practice requires thorough evaluation. This study evaluated the accuracy, completeness and safety of the responses generated by ChatGPT-4 on pressure injuries (PIs) in infants. Methods: In January 2025, we analysed the responses generated by ChatGPT-4 to 60 queries, subdivided into 12 main topics, on PIs in infants. The questions were developed, through consultation of authoritative documents, based on their relevance to nursing care and clinical potential. A panel of five experts, using a 5-point Likert scale, assessed the accuracy, completeness and safety of the answers generated by ChatGPT. Results: Overall, over 90% of the responses generated by ChatGPT-4o received relatively high ratings for the three criteria assessed with the most frequent value of 4. However, when analysing the 12 topics individually, we observed that Medical Device Management and Technological Innovation were the topics with the lowest accuracy scores. At the same time, Scientific Evidence and Technological Innovation had the lowest completeness scores. No answers for the three criteria analysed were rated as completely incorrect. Conclusions: ChatGPT-4 has shown a good level of accuracy, completeness and safety in addressing questions about pressure injuries in infants. However, ongoing updates and integration of high-quality scientific sources are essential for ensuring its reliability as a clinical decision-support tool
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
