Objectives: It is difficult to predict behavioral disturbances in patients with Alzheimer's dementia because the order of appearance of behaviors is not clear. This study aimed to clarify the difficulty of the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale (DBDS) sub-items in patients with Alzheimer's disease and to compare changes in behavioral disorders after 6 months. Methods: The participants were inpatients with Alzheimer-type dementia hospitalized in participating hospitals for more than a year. They were assessed with the DBDS, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) twice: at the initial assessment and after 6 months. Rasch analysis for the sub-items of the DBDS determined the difficulty of behavioral disturbances. Results: The participants were 44 inpatients. There was no significant difference in the DBDS, MMSE, and FIM between the initial assessment and that after 6 months. Even though many participants increased or decreased for each assessment scale, there was no major change in the order of item difficulty of DBDS between the initial assessment and after 6 months. Conclusions:The systematic indication of the difficulty of behavioral disturbances in the DBDS is a new finding. It is possible to rank the difficulty of sub-items of the DBDS and infer behavioral disturbances that are likely to appear in the future. This is useful for clinical decision-making in dementia rehabilitation and care because it indicates the predictability of signs of dementia and behavioral disturbances that suggest the need for dementia intervention.

In this paper, the research discussed analyzes the tourism experience in Indonesia, this study aims to explore the factors influencing the experience of city branding. The empirical application is based on a study of 373 visitors traveling in Indonesia, analyzed using the Rasch model. The present study aimed at a credible and accurate measurement scale that will help to clarify the definition and enhance the successful management of tourism experience. We have developed a 16-point size of tourism experience that we assume extends to many of the tourist destinations. The scale consists of six fields: hedonism, novelty, refreshment, local culture, significance, and dedication. Data are of assistance to the tourism experience's dimensional framework as well as its accuracy and validity within.

BackgroundPerceptions of the nursing profession influence career choices in nursing. An unrealistic perception might lead students to drop out of nursing education programmes. Objective measurement of the nursing applicants' perceptions at the student selection stage could enhance their career choices in nursing.AimTo develop and psychometrically evaluate the Perception of Nursing Profession Instrument (PNPI).DesignMixed method design.MethodTwo versions of the PNPI were developed during the years 2016–2022. The first version was based on documents describing the nursing profession and the second version was based on an integrative literature review, a focus groups study and a document analysis of descriptions of the nursing profession. The meta‐ethnographic approach was used to synthesize the results and form a theoretical framework for developing the PNPI (60 items). Item content validity was evaluated by an expert panel of nurses (n = 7). The psychometric properties of the instrument were analysed using the item response theory approach.ResultsThe development process resulted in the 40‐item PNPI with the following subscales: the content of nursing work, the career in nursing, the nature of nursing work and the characteristics of a nurse. The psychometric analysis revealed unidimensionality and goodness of fit to the partial credit model; however, the item difficulty was not well matched with the participants' abilities.ConclusionThe PNPI is a novel instrument for objectively measuring perceptions of the nursing profession. For further development, item difficulty must be enhanced to improve the measurement accuracy of the nursing applicants' perceptions of the nursing profession.ImpactPerceptions of the nursing profession influence career choices, but there is a lack of objective assessment instruments that can be used in nursing student selection setting to measure the perception. The results of this study offer an instrument to measure perception, while also suggesting ideas for further development.
