Introduction: Nursing shortages and turnover pose significant challenges for health organizations worldwide, driven by various organizational and individual factors. Ethical climate has emerged as a critical aspect influencing nurses' well-being and retention within healthcare settings, reflecting organizational practices with moral implications. Understanding the relationship between ethical climate and turnover intention among nurses is paramount for practitioners, managers, and policymakers.

Background: Digital health technologies (DHTs) play a crucial role in symptom management, particularly in palliative care, by providing patients with accessible tools to monitor and manage their symptoms effectively. The aim of this systematic review was to examine and synthesise the scientific literature on DHTs for symptom management in palliative oncology care.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses from 2 June to 20 June 2024.
Morocco's approach to developing palliative care is notably constrained, with an almost complete scarcity of laws and regulations in this area. Despite some progress, palliative care remains fragmented and underdeveloped, with persistent disparities in its accessibility and provision. Nationally, there is a lack of sufficient and detailed information about its progress.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: This study addresses the growing demand for palliative care (PC) by exploring the role of advanced nursing practice (ANP) within the multidisciplinary team. The purpose is to outline the background of ANP in PC, its interest, training needs, and some recommendations for its establishment in the Moroccan healthcare system.
Materials And Methods: A rapid review of relevant studies was carried out through databases following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses standards, edition (2020).

Background: This study tried to make a quantitative and qualitative review of the scientific production of the mobilization of critical thinking in nursing and midwifery learning.
Materials And Methods: The search was carried out in the "Web of Science" and "PubMed" databases between 2001 and 2021, resulting in 43 articles using several keywords "critical thinking," "learning", "nursing," "midwifery". The study will be split into two parts: A quantitative review in the form of a bibliometric analysis and a qualitative one in the form of a literature review.
(1) Background: Emergency and intensive care nurses are among the health professionals most exposed to occupational health issues such as stress and burnout, etc. Coaching has been considered a useful preventative strategy to provide better support for professionals. This study has two objectives: the first objective is to identify the coaching needs of emergency and intensive care nurses, and the second is to propose a coaching model that addresses the needs and helps manage occupational health issues.

Objectives: To examine graduate students' perceptions of their nursing professional identity within the university-based educational system.
Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted involving the completion of in-depth interviews and focus groups among master's degree students in Morocco.
Results: The shift to university-based nursing education system was associated with the development of a positive self-image, sense of empowerment, and attachment to professional values in addition to role extension and involvement in research.
This article explores the development of the most critical soft skills in midwifery through the use of a participatory method called the World Café in the context of continuing education at the Formation and Simulation Center (FORSim) in Settat, Morocco. Non-technical skills include a set of metacognitive abilities that complement technical skills to ensure the safe execution of technical activities and the parturient's satisfaction. In order to develop these midwifery skills through the World Café method, we invited nine midwives from two maternity units in the Casablanca-Settat region, with whom we elaborated our psychological, organizational, cognitive, and interactional (POCI) model.

The objective of the current pilot research is to evaluate the efficiency of a transtheoretical coaching model on emergency nurses' occupational stress management through a coaching intervention. (2) Materials and Methods: An interview, Karasek's stress questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), an observation grid, and a one-group Pre-test-Post-test questionnaire was carried out to evaluate the changes in emergency nurses' knowledge and their ability to manage stress before and after attending the coaching intervention.

Although teaching these skills is difficult because they involve fewer measurable elements, it is essential to rethink their integration into nursing education programs through innovative learning strategies.
Aim: This scoping review aimed to map the soft skill learning strategies implemented by nursing schools to incorporate these skills into nursing programs.
This article explores the non-technical skills critical for the practice of midwives through a comparison of two maternity services in Morocco. Soft skills, or non-technical skills, present a set of metacognitive abilities, which complement hard or technical skills, in order to guarantee the safe performance of a technical activity. This exploration is based on an original methodology that triangulates observation of caring paths, qualitative interviews, and quantitative questionnaires.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The purpose of the current study is to suggest a powerful strategy to overcome the misperceptions of undergraduate nursing students' about paediatric palliative care (PPC), through simulation technique.
Materials And Methods: A one-group pre-test-post-test design was carried out to assess changes in undergraduate nursing students' representations about PPC before and after the exposure to a simulation experience. A total of 24 undergraduate nursing students at the Higher Institute of Health Sciences (HIHS) of Settat have taken part in this study.
Background: The scarcity of palliative care (PC) services in Morocco, and their absence in Settat, limits the opportunities for nursing students at the Higher Institute of Health Sciences (HIHS) to benefit from clinical placements. As a consequence of this, most students feel underprepared to care for patients with PC needs.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to share a simulation-based learning experience in a PC context and to evaluate the effectiveness of this learning method.
