How, scholar, do you want to be remembered by future generations?:  Finding your own balance between the ownership of knowledge and the freedom to pursue economic interests
AbstractTo assume that copyright just protects “expressions,” (unlike “ideas” protected by patents), may be misleading because a particularly ordered procedure is also protected by copyright law. The procedure as well as the image of Park's Sweet Spot Theory require prior written permission from the original copyright holder for its use. Because this would stymie future generations from building further on this idea, I returned the theory-based patent to society so that prospective research and development will have no hindrances in the establishment of new knowledge/solutions in nursing science.

Pain hygiene: A content analysis of student nurses' perspectives
AbstractPain hygiene (PH) is a new concept that has not been well-defined. A qualitative content analysis was conducted to understand this newly developed concept. Based on the responses from 78 students, the perceptions of the meaning of the term “pain hygiene” and differences between the term “pain hygiene” and “sleep hygiene” through their participation in open-ended surveys was described. Using content analysis, four themes emerged to present students' meaning of the term “pain hygiene”: prevention of worsening of pain; cl eanliness or hygiene practices to manage pain; self-care to manage pain; and phys...

A needs assessment for competency development of nurse educators
ConclusionNurse educators first emphasized knowledge and teaching skills improvement, followed by enhancing value. However, their needs were not different when categorized by gender, age, educational qualification, and work experience. Therefore, planning to develop all competencies is urged and prioritized. Similarly, future research should explore suitable competency development programs for these nurse educators in each area. Our study's findings could be an example applied to other nursing schools worldwide to improve nurse educators' competencies. (Source: Nursing Forum)

A guide to the selection and application of concept analysis
AbstractThe purpose of this article is to provide practical guidance in the process of choosing a method to use for concept analysis (CA), a commonly used method for defining and exploring concepts in nursing. Best outcomes are achieved when there is close alignment between the concept, the purpose of the analysis, and the CA method utilized. This process has become complicated by the number of approaches developed in recent decades, with varying purposes and theoretical underpinnings. Other variables include the specific type of concept chosen and the purpose of the analysis, which may vary from clinical care to theory de...

Physical problems and fatigue level of nurses during the COVID ‐19 pandemic
Conclusion/Implications for PracticeThe CFS scores of the nurses who said “Yes” to all physical problems evaluated in this study were found to be significantly higher (p <  .05).
