Methods: A descriptive, correlational design drawing on linked, population-based administrative data of concussed children and adolescents (ages 5-18 years) from the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Data were accessed through Population Data BC.

Differing Effects of Implementation Leadership Characteristics on Nurses' Use of mHealth Technologies in Clinical Practice: Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Background: Leadership has been consistently identified as an important factor in shaping the uptake and use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies in nursing; however, the nature and scope of leadership remain poorly delineated. This lack of detail about what leadership entails limits the practical actions that can be taken by leaders to optimize the implementation and use of mHealth technologies among nurses working clinically.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of first-level leaders' implementation leadership characteristics on nurses' intention to use and actual use of mHealth technologies in practice while controlling for nurses' individual characteristics and the voluntariness of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use of mHealth technologies.

Testing the association between the enabling and enacting factors of patient safety culture and patient safety: structural equation modelling.

Background: Despite evidence linking a safety culture with patient safety, the processes by which aspect of safety culture influences patient safety are not yet well understood. Thus, this study aimed to test a theoretical model of the relationships between three enabling factors (supervisor/clinical leader support for patient safety, hospital management support for patient safety, and psychological safety), and four enacting factors of patient safety culture (handoffs and information exchange, teamwork, error reporting intention, and withholding voice) with nurse assessments of patient safety.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study design was used.

Patient Safety Culture and Speaking Up Among Health Care Workers.

Purpose: Although previous research showed the importance of safety culture on health care workers' speaking up behaviors, it is not clear how particular safety culture domains are associated with the speaking up behaviors of hospital staff. Also, researchers have suggested that health care workers' speaking up behaviors vary by profession, but there has been limited research into such differences. Thus, this study examined differences in perceptions of patient safety culture and the promotive and prohibitive speaking up behaviors of health care workers by profession and investigated the relationships between patient safety culture and the two types of speaking up behaviors.

Motivators and inhibitors of nurses' speaking up behaviours: A descriptive qualitative study.

Aims: To identify factors that motivate or inhibit nurses' speaking up for patient safety.

Design: A descriptive qualitative study.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 nurses from four Korean hospitals between December 2020 and January 2021.

Nurses' Use of mHealth Functions.

Nurses' use of mHealth remains largely unexplored despite enthusiasm for its use in health systems. We conducted a survey (n=341) to examine nurses' use of mHealth technologies in Canada; this paper presents findings of sub questions within a larger study. Differences in common mHealth functions used by nurses were examined by population setting (large urban centre, medium centre, small centre, and rural area) and type of organization (hospital, community health, nursing home or long-term care, and other).

Factors related to mammography adherence among women in Brazil: A scoping review.

Aim: To explore and synthesize the literature on factors related to mammography screening adherence among women in Brazil.

Design: A scoping review.

Methods: We searched 11 databases for studies published between 2006-January 2020.

Using Dominance Analysis to Identify the Most Important Dimensions of Safety Culture for Predicting Patient Safety.

Studies have demonstrated associations between safety culture and patient safety based on the perceptions of healthcare professionals, but limited attention has been given to the perceptions of nurses. Moreover, most studies have used regression modeling, an approach that limits researchers' ability to identify the most important predictors of patient safety due to intercorrelations among predictors in the model. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of seven dimensions of safety culture on nurse-rated patient safety and identify the relative importance of these dimensions for predicting patient safety.

Psychological Safety as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Inclusive Leadership and Nurse Voice Behaviors and Error Reporting.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine psychological safety as a mediator of the relationship between inclusive leadership and nurses' voice behaviors and error reporting. Voice behaviors were conceptualized as speaking up and withholding voice.

Design: This correlational study used a web-based survey to obtain data from 526 nurses from the medical/surgical units of three tertiary general hospitals located in two cities in South Korea.

The Revised Champion's Health Belief Model Scale: Predictive Validity Among Brazilian Women.

Mammography screening is provided free of charge for the recommended target population in Brazil but participation rates have remained low, and breast cancer mortality has continued to increase. Thus, it is important to identify factors that are associated with poor participation in mammography screening so that service providers can target health promotion messages and screening programs more effectively. To evaluate the predictive validity of the Revised Champion's Health Belief Model scale (RCHBMS) for identifying women at high risk of not adhering to national guidelines for mammography screening in Brazil.

Adaptation and validation of a Korean-language version of the revised hospital survey on patient safety culture (K-HSOPSC 2.0).

Aims: To examine relationships between components of nurses' work environments and emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction and intent to leave among nurses in Saudi Arabia.

Design: A descriptive correlational study with cross-sectional data.

Methods: Data were collected in 2017 from 497 Registered Nurses working in a large tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Enabling, Enacting, and Elaborating Factors of Safety Culture Associated With Patient Safety: A Multilevel Analysis.

Purpose: Worldwide, 1 in 10 hospital patients is harmed while receiving care. Despite evidence that a culture of safety is associated with greater patient safety, these effects and the processes by which safety culture impacts patient safety are not yet clearly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various safety culture factors on nurses' perceptions of patient safety using an innovative theoretical model.

The Nurse LEADership for Implementing Technologies - Mobile Health Model (Nurse LEAD-IT - mHealth).

Purpose: Purpose of the paper: To describe the development of a testable conceptual model that examines the relationship between implementation leadership characteristics and nurses' use of mobile health technologies (mHealth) as part of their nursing practice. The model is currently being tested in the pan-Canadian context.

Concepts: Primary concepts and issues to be addressed: The 2014 and 2017 Canada-wide surveys of nurses' use of technologies reported seemingly low rates of mobile technology use: 3% in 2014 and 7% in 2017(Canada Health Infoway 2014, 2017).

Effect of Nursing Care Delivery Models on Registered Nurse Outcomes.

The two key components of models of nursing care delivery are mode of nursing care delivery and skill mix. While mode of nursing care delivery refers to the independent or collaborative work of nurses to provide care to a group of patients, skill mix is defined as direct care nurse classifications. Previous research has typically focused on only one component at a time (mode or skill mix).

Factors related to perioperative nurses' job satisfaction and intention to leave.

Aim: This study investigated factors associated with perioperative nurses' job satisfaction and their intention to leave. Recruitment and retention of nurses are particularly important in a specialist environment such as the perioperative setting where it is especially difficult to attract and retain nurses due to its unique environment.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were drawn from a larger study on nurses' work environments, conducted in one province of Canada.
