aim: professional commitment has been widely discussed during the last decade. there is no comprehensive definition about “professional commitment in iranian nurses.” hence, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the concept of professional commitment in iranian nurses. materials and methods: hybrid model was used in three phases. firstly, in the theoretical phase, data were retriev...

background & aim: emotional intelligence is one of the most important issues that has strong effects on patient nursing care. currently, a concept analysis approach is considered as one of the most important approaches for nursing knowledge development. therefore, this narrative study is done by content analysis approach to understand and use emotional intelligence in nursing. methods & materia...

Background & aim: Childbirth and motherhood is a rewarding experience. A mother needs to adapt to her new maternal role after childbirth. The aim of the present study was to clarify the defining attributes of maternal role and identify its antecedents and consequences. Methods: As suggested by Walker and Avant, ...

background: professionalism is an important feature of the professional jobs. dynamic nature and the various interpretations of thisterm lead to multiple defi nitions of this concept. the aim of this paper is to identify the core attributes of the nursing professionalism. materials and methods: we followed rodgers’ evolutionary method of concept analysis. texts published in scientifi c database...

We focus on two approaches to formal concept analysis (FCA) of data with fuzzy attributes recently proposed in the literature, namely, on the approach via hedges and the approach via thresholds. Both of the approaches present parameterized ways to FCA of data with fuzzy attributes. Our paper shows basic relationships between the two of the approaches. Furthermore, we show that the approaches ca...

We present a new approach for handling fuzzy triadic data in the setting of Formal Concept Analysis. The starting point is a fuzzyvalued triadic context (K1,K2,K3, Y ), where K1,K2 and K3 are sets and Y is a ternary fuzzy relation between these sets. First, we generalise the methods of Triadic Concept Analysis to our setting and show how they fit other approaches to Fuzzy Triadic Concept Analys...

In some cases, the relationship between an object set X and an attribute set Y is set up by means of a fuzzy context sequence. A particular case of this situation appears when we want to study the evolution in time of a fuzzy context. In this work, we deepen in the study of these situations. First we recover the fuzzy context sequence definition and the main results. After that, with the aid of...

Presented is a reduction of fuzzy Galois connections and fuzzy concept lattices to (crisp) Galois connections and concept lattices: each fuzzy concept lattice can be viewed as a concept lattice (in a natural way). As a result, a simple proof of the characterization theorem for fuzzy concept lattices is obtained. The reduction enables us to apply the results worked out for concept lattices to fu...
