Aims: To investigate how nursing students' professional identity, clinical learning environment, financial incentives, and career opportunities influence their intention to migrate.
Background: There is a preponderance of studies about nurse migration and its impact on the global nursing workforce. However, a critical gap remains about nursing students' intentions to migrate, particularly among developing countries like the Philippines.
Aims: The aim was to investigate the interrelationships of nurses' safety climate, quality of care, and adherence to and compliance with standard precautions (SPs).
Background: Investigations about nurses' safety climate and quality care and their association with adherence to and compliance with SPs remain remarkably scant across literature, specifically among developing countries like the Philippines.
Design: Cross-sectional design and structural equation modeling (SEM) approach while complying with STROBE guidelines.
Introduction: Investigations about the interrelationships of nurses' safety climate, quality of care, and standard precautions (SP) adherence and compliance remain particularly scarce in the literature. Thus, we tested a model of the associations between nurses' safety climate, quality of care, and the factors influencing adherence and compliance with SPs utilizing the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.
Design: Cross-sectional design complying with STROBE guidelines.
Aims: To investigate the mediating role of moral resilience and moral courage in the association between moral distress and moral injury.
Background: There is a preponderance of nursing literature about moral distress, moral resilience, moral courage and moral injury. However, examining moral resilience and moral courage as mediators remain underreported during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the context of a developing nation.
Investigations about moral resilience and moral courage as mediators between moral distress and moral injury remain underreported among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses (n = 412) from the Philippines were conveniently recruited via social media platforms and completed four self-report scales. The mediation model depicts that moral distress negatively impacts moral resilience and moral courage while positively affecting moral injury.

However, there is a dearth of studies investigating the mediating role of resilience and academic motivation between academic stress and self-directed learning.
Aims: In July 2022, the human monkeypox virus was declared by the World Health Organization, a public health emergency of global concern. This study investigated the Filipinos' knowledge of monkeypox and determined the demographic variables that predicted it.
Design: Correlational and cross-sectional design adhering to STROBE guidelines.
Background: In July 2022, human monkeypox (Mpox) was declared by the World Health Organization public health emergency of global concern. Assessing people's knowledge about Mpox will help the government and healthcare workers create policies to prevent the spread of the virus. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first study that assessed Filipinos' Mpox knowledge.
