Background: Patients' death caused the intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to grieve, which led to their burnout. Intensive care unit nurses use various coping mechanisms and need support to overcome grief.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the mediation effects of coping mechanisms and grief support on the impact of grief on burnout.
Background: Stress related to nursing education and clinical placement encounters by students since the beginning of their nursing course has been an issue of concern. This study aims to examine the prevalence of adult personality traits and their relationship with stress levels, coping mechanisms and academic performance among nursing students.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 92 nursing students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).
Aim: This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the measurement model of the Grief Support Healthcare Scale sub-constructs among the intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
Method: This methodological study in January 2015 uses the TRIPOD checklist for model validation. A two-order confirmatory factor analysis involving 655 nurses from the adult ICUs of nine hospitals confirmed the validity and reliability of the sub-constructs of grief support.
