Summary: This study aims to investigate the health literacy of nursing students and its associated factors. Results showed that 6.1% of participants had inadequate health literacy and 36.5% had problematic health literacy. Age, smoking, prolonged screen time, and living alone were found to be associated with health literacy (p < 0.05). It is necessary to incorporate more health literacy content into the nursing curriculum.

Summary: Diaphragmatic breathing can improve physiological and psychological measures in hypertensive or prehypertensive adults by reducing blood pressure, heart rate, inducing relaxation, and decreasing anxiety. Performing diaphragmatic breathing for 10 minutes, less than 10 or 6 breaths per minute, twice a day for 4 weeks can lead to positive outcomes. This review provides directions for future interventions and research.

Summary: Co-parenting interventions have shown positive effects in enhancing co-parenting support, reducing co-parenting undermining, improving couple communication, parent-child interactions, and decreasing depressive symptoms in mothers. However, evidence on the overall effects of co-parenting, division of labor, childrearing agreement, fathers' psychological health, parenting self-efficacy, and baby feeding practices is limited. Further studies are needed to explore the effects of interventions, especially for intergenerational families, during the postpartum period.

Summary: Despite the growth in disaster nursing literature over the past three decades, the field is still far from mature. The majority of impactful collaborations among authors were found within the same countries, indicating a need for more international cooperation. Publications focused on response phases in disaster nursing, with limited attention given to mitigation and recovery, highlighting a gap in research that needs to be addressed in the future.

Summary: This study aims to explore the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of intergenerational co-parenting during the postpartum period and clarify the concept. Six attributes of intergenerational co-parenting were identified, including division of labor, generational boundaries, intergenerational transmission, reciprocal support, commitment on parenting decisions, and intergenerational communication. The consequences of intergenerational co-parenting involved the mother's parenting self-efficacy, psychological health of both grandparents and parents, co-parenting relationship, and intergenerational relationship. A conceptual framework was proposed based on the findings, providing a platform for developing supportive programs and further research on intergenerational co-parenting in the postpartum period.

Summary: This review aims to explore and identify the characteristics of resilience among rescue workers. Through systematic literature review, six domains were identified to characterize the resilience of rescuers: demographic and physical characteristics, personality traits, coping strategies, perceived resources, special skills for disaster rescue, and less adverse consequences from exposure to disaster. Researchers and disaster managers can use these characteristics to comprehensively understand and enhance the positive concept of resilience among rescue workers.
