Methods: A hospital survey was conducted to collect the procurement data for single-use medical materials.
To deal with the upcoming challenges and complexity of the nursing profession, it is deemed important to reflect on our current organization of care. However, before starting to rethink the organization of nursing care, an overview of important elements concerning nursing care organization, more specifically nursing models, is necessary. The aim of this study was to conduct a mapping review, accompanied by an evidence map to map the existing literature, to map the field of knowledge on a meta-level and to identify current research gaps concerning nursing models in a hospital setting.

Design: Realist review according to the Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses-Evolving Standards (RAMESES).
Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, PsycInfo and ProQuest were searched from January 2000 until October 2022.
Objective: During autonomy-supportive consultations, professionals use a need-supportive interaction style to facilitate patients' self-regulated behaviour. To improve maternity care professionals' need-supportive interactions, it is important to provide insights into their interaction style. No tool is currently available for measuring need-supportive interactions in maternity care.

Methods: The instrument includes concepts from social cognitive models: problem awareness, attitude, self-efficacy, motivation, social support, goal setting, goal pursuit, skills and goal affect. The measurement properties were evaluated based on the COSMIN guidelines.
Objective: To evaluate the agreement between nurse and dietician nutritional risk assessments when using the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) protocol, and to explore the relations of falsely labeling patients 'not at risk' for malnutrition and the screening time difference (STD) between nurse and dietician with the length of stay (LoS).
Methods: Included are all patients hospitalized in a tertiary care center between January 2017 and December 2019 and screened for malnutrition by both a nurse and a dietician. The inter-rater reliability is evaluated using Cohen's Kappa.
Aim: To evaluate the process and outcomes of INTENSS, a training intervention grounded in Self-Determination Theory to enhance nurses' competencies for self-management support.
Design: Non-randomized intervention study with mixed-methods evaluation approach (2019-2020).
Methods: The multifaceted training was implemented in six groups.
Aims: To provide in-depth insight into how patients and their relatives experienced change or delay in cancer treatment and care due to COVID-19.
Design: A qualitative study including semi-structured interviews with patients with cancer and their relatives.
Methods: Between July and October 2020, 42 patients who were confronted with a change or delay in cancer treatment or care, and 11 relatives were interviewed.
Aims: The goal of this study was to gain insight into the views and experiences of an intensive care team working in a new nursing-care delivery model during the COVID-19 waves. A new model of care was implemented to augment nursing capacity and provide sufficient intensive care beds.
Design: A qualitative monocentric study using rapid qualitative descriptive methods was reported in line with the COREQ checklist.
Aim: To gain insight into which elements of the interpersonal care relationship (IPCR) are perceived as occurring (less) frequently and as (not) disturbing from the perspective of hospitalized older patients.
Design: A cross-sectional study in three Belgian hospitals.
Methods: A convenience sample of patients aged 75 years or older admitted to a non-geriatric ward were recruited between May 2017 and April 2019.
Background: The predominate role of internships on the retention of nursing students highlights the need to monitor internship experiences during a healthcare crisis like CoViD-19.
Objectives: To explore the relation between internships experiences during a pandemic and student nurses' commitment or intention-to-leave the nursing program; as well as the relation between internship experiences and commitment or intention-to-leave the nursing program.
Design, Setting And Participants: A cross-sectional study using a sample of 1.
Background: The growing prevalence of chronic illnesses requires nurses to support self-management and help patients integrate the chronic illness into their life. To our knowledge there are currently no training programs that combine the necessary components to adequately enhance nurses' competencies in self-management support.
Objective: The systematic development and validation of a need-supportive training in self-management support for nurses.
Background: Self-management support is considered an important task for nurses working in chronic care provision. The complex nature of self-management support makes it necessary to clarify the factors affecting the behaviour of nurses in supporting patients living with chronic illnesses.
Objective: The aim of this review is to synthesize the factors influencing the provision of self-management support as perceived by nurses in the care for patients living with a chronic illness.
Aim: To develop and psychometrically test the Interpersonal Geriatric care relationship tool.
Background: The quality of nursing care is highly influenced by the quality of the interpersonal care relationship, yet there are no tools available that capture the conceptual breadth of the interpersonal care relationship.
Design: Instrument development and psychometric testing of the content and construct validity, factor structure and reliability.
Mental health nurses are struggling to describe their nursing identity as professional discipline in a changing mental health care. Measuring nurse-sensitive patient outcomes and demonstrating nursing's effect(s) experienced by patients contribute to (re)discover the specific nursing identity. However, a valid and reliable scale is currently lacking.

Methods: A systematic literature search identified relevant studies. Data was extracted on training details, study design, outcomes and experiences.
Objective: To develop and psychometrically evaluate an observation tool to rate healthcare professionals' engagement in need-supportive and need-thwarting counselling in chronic care encounters.
Methods: The observation tool was developed through three stages (January 2018 - June 2019). First, a set of items was developed according to essential components of need-supportive and need-thwarting counselling as identified in Self-Determination Theory.
Background: The rising attention to participation and self-regulation in chronic care requires nurses to move towards an approach in which patients' perspectives and choices are central, and in which patients' competency is fostered. According to Self-Determination Theory, nurses can differ in the way they interact with patients living with a chronic illness. That is, they can interact in an autonomy-supportive, controlling, structuring or chaotic way.
