Self-actualization of families with a cerebrovascular disease patient by nurses, and of self-actualization of nurses themselves: an integrative review based on family care/caring theory
Background and purpose
When caring for patients hospitalized with cerebrovascular disease, a caring phenomenon occurs between the patient’s family and the nurse, and according to Hohashi’s Family Care/Caring Theory, the family and the nurse achieve self-actualization. However, the contents of self-actualization through specific care/caring are unclear. The purpose of this integrative review was to clarify the self-actualization of the nurse as an outcome of family care/caring, and the self-actualization of other individuals (that is, the family) who are supported by nurses.
Methods
A search conducted on 23rd December, 2023, using Ichushi-Web, CiNii and J-STAGE, which are extensive Japanese literature databases, identified 1,061 original articles using the keywords “cerebrovascular disease AND nurse.” The quality of the articles was assessed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklists. We conducted an integrative review of 11 articles describing transactions between nurses and families according to Toronto and Remington. Self-actualization of the nurse and self-actualization of other individuals were classified as subcategories and then as categories. Exclusion criteria included no description of family members, no practice by nurses, and not patients with cerebrovascular disease.
Results
Of the 11 studies utilized, 10 were qualitative studies and one was a quantitative descriptive study. Eight categories were identified for self-actualization of families with a cerebrovascular patient by nurses, including “Families can realize their hopes through the provision of an environment by nurses.” Three categories of self-actualization of the nurse were identified, including “Nurses can obtain a sense of satisfaction from the family.”
Conclusion
During the recovery process after hospitalization for cerebrovascular disease, a caring phenomenon occurs between the patient’s family and nurses, which can be understood using Family Care/Caring Theory. The family’s self-actualization and the nurse’s self-actualization were achieved through reciprocal concern between the two.

Multi-level effects of authentic leadership on self-actualization at work – the mediating roles of authentic followership and basic psychological need satisfaction
Authentic leaders are self-aware of their values and beliefs and continuously strive to create meaningful organizational contexts that promote the growth and selfactualization of subordinates. Following self-determination theory (SDT), this study examines whether follower authenticity and basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) serve as mediators between the association of authentic leadership and indicators of self-actualization at work. We used the data of 53 team leaders and 171 team members from one global company. Results of three multi-level mediation models indicated that followers? authenticity and BPNS mediate the link between group leaders? authentic leadership and followers? self-actualization at work. In line with fundamental assumptions of SDT, our findings suggest that follower self-actualization is influenced by authentic leadership but also emerges from a synergistic effect between leader and follower authenticity and follower BPNS. We discuss how future research and practice may promote employee authenticity and personal development in work environments.

Demystification and Actualisation of Data Saturation in Qualitative Research Through Thematic Analysis
The concept of saturation in qualitative research is a widely debated topic. Saturation refers to the point at which no new data or themes are emerging from the data set, which indicates that the data have been fully explored. It is considered an important concept as it helps to ensure that the findings are robust and that the data are being used to their full potential to achieve the research aim. Saturation, or the point at which further observation of data will not lead to the discovery of more information related to the research questions, is an important aspect of qualitative research. However, there is some mystification and semantic debate surrounding the term saturation, and it is not always clear how many rounds of research are needed to reach saturation or what criteria are used to make that determination during the thematic analysis process. This paper focuses on the actualisation of saturation in the context of thematic analysis and develops a systematic approach to using data to justify the contribution of research. Consequently, we introduce a distinct model to help researchers reach saturation through refining or expanding existing quotations, codes, themes and concepts as necessary.

The short index of self-actualization: a factor analysis study in an Italian sample
The concept of self-actualization has been the subject of much theoretical speculation over the years. The essential meaning entails the discovery of the real self and its expression and development. As for the instruments available to measure the construct, there are currently several scales considered to be suitable to this end. However, many of these have been considered too long or presented problems with inadequate validation. This is the reason why a short index of self-actualization has been developed (Jones & Crandall, 1986). This index, best known as the Short Index of Self-Actualization or the Self-Actualization Scale (SAS), is now a widely used short form to measure self-actualization. The present study provides a psychometric analysis of the SAS, in order to highlight its strengths and weaknesses and to offer a starting point to a further and broaden investigation.

Linguistic self-actualization
The author’s intention is to contribute to the interpretation of linguistic self-actualization as a specific form of human self-actualization. In the first part of the text, he discusses self-actualization from an anthropological, philosophical and psychological point of view, in order to be able to formulate a definition of the relevant term. He develops the thesis that self-actualization is a constitutional property of man as a being of his kind and a constituent of the individual, observable in his ontogenesis. He introduces the term self-actualization base and describes it as a structure that determines the authentic way of human activity. Against this background, he approaches the interpretation of language self-actualization and defines the terms mentalization, acquisition, and operational language self-actualization. For him, linguistic self-actualization is an activity by which the user responds to mentalization, socialization and flexible expression needs. How an individual realizes this activity depends on his will to freely navigate the world of signs, language rules and language operations, on his semiotic-practical, imitative and operational practical intelligence disposition, as well as on his decision-making disposition, applied when choosing from options in specific conditions of language use.
