Background: Violence is well documented in the nursing profession and is compounded by an increasing incidence of workplace violence towards nursing students. Poor clinical experiences where violence is witnessed or experienced have long-term consequences for both the student and the profession.
Purpose: This study aimed to ascertain clinical facilitators' perceptions about the impact of workplace violence on nursing students during their clinical placements.
Background: Workplace violence toward nurses is a significant global issue affecting their mental and physical health, job satisfaction and performance, and can ultimately lead to decisions to leave the profession. As the least experienced caregivers in the health workforce, nursing students are particularly vulnerable to experiencing workplace violence and are often powerless to deal with WPV incidents.
Aim: To examine clinical facilitators' insights into how to support nursing students following experiences of workplace violence during their clinical placement.
The experience of racism in healthcare is particularly challenging to address due to misunderstandings of the definition, the complex interplay of other potential discriminations and, at some level, the denial that it occurs. Limited studies have reported racism as an aspect of workplace violence toward nurses and nursing students from both patients and staff. To understand nursing students' experience of unethical behaviour, including racism during clinical placement, the perpetrators, impacts, advocating and reporting.

Introduction: Workplace violence is a global issue that affects victims' physical and mental health. RNS are especially vulnerable to workplace violence because of their limited work experience and confidence.
Introduction: Although available evidence demonstrates positive clinical outcomes for patients attending and completing cardiac rehabilitation, the effectiveness of interactive cardiac rehabilitation web applications on programme completion has not been systematically examined.
Methods: This JBI systematic review of effects included studies measuring effectiveness of interactive cardiac rehabilitation web applications compared to telephone, and centre-based programmes. Outcome data were pooled under programme completion and clinical outcomes (body mass index, low-density lipoproteins, and blood pressure).
Problem: The dietitian service at a metropolitan health service in Queensland, Australia has a non-engagement rate for high-risk antenatal women of 50%.
Aim: Determine which attributes are related to non-attendance at dietitian appointments, and women's perceptions and attitudes towards dietitian appointments during pregnancy.
Methods: An explanatory mixed-methods design was utilised, with first phase including 103 antenatal women referred to a dietitian in 2021 and compared the attributes of those who attended with those who did not engage.
Objective: This review will evaluate the effectiveness of alternative vs traditional forms of exercise on cardiac rehabilitation program utilization and other outcomes in women with or at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Introduction: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs improve health outcomes in women with or at high risk of cardiovascular disease. However, such programs are underutilized worldwide, particularly among women.
Aims: This review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions vs. usual care on hypertension management, lifestyle behaviour, and patients' knowledge of hypertension and associated risk factors.
Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines.
Critical care healthcare professionals are at high risk in developing burnout and mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. High demands and the lack of resources lead to decreased job performance and organizational commitment, low work engagement, and increases emotional exhaustion and feelings of loneliness. Peer support and problem-solving approaches demonstrate promising evidence as it targets workplace loneliness, emotional exhaustion, promotes work engagement, and supports adaptive coping behaviors.
