Nurses' second victim experience, job insecurity, and turnover intention: A latent profile analysis.

Nurses are greatly affected by patient safety incidents, but little is known about the classifications of nurses' second victim experiences and their effects on job insecurity and turnover intention. This study aimed to identify the profiles of nurses' second victim experiences, including perceived support and distress, and explore the effects of the different experiences on nurses' job insecurity and turnover intention. A convenience sample of 2000 nurses, who were directly involved in patient safety incidents within a year at 25 hospitals in 13 provinces in China, was invited to participate.

The State of the Science of Nurses' Implicit Bias: A Call to Go Beyond the Face of the Other and Revisit the Ethics of Belonging and Power.

This article summarizes the current state of nurses' implicit bias and discusses the phenomenon from Levinas' face of the Other and ethics of belonging, Watson's human caring and unitary caring science, and Chinn's peace and power theory. Nurses' implicit bias is a global issue; the primary sources of nurses' implicit bias include race/ethnicity, sexuality, health conditions, age, mental health status, and substance use disorders. The current research stays at the descriptive level and addresses implicit bias at the individual level.

Patient Experience Coordinator: An Innovative Role to Improve Patients' Hospital Experience.

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the impact of an innovative nonclinical support role to improve patient experiences while supporting nurse work on inpatient units.

Background: On the basis of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Care Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, patients' experience declined nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. A nonclinical support role, titled an Experience Coordinator, was created as a test of change to collaborate with care teams and respond to patients' and families' nonclinical needs.

Construction of a nurses' interpersonal communication knowledge system: A Delphi study.

Background: Effective communication is essential for nursing students to provide safe patient care. Many communication consensuses focus on physician-associated communication rather than nurses' interpersonal communication. However, studies on developing a systematic and comprehensive communication knowledge system for nursing students are scarce.

Nursing Staff's Role in Detecting Urinary Tract Infections in Nursing Homes: An Integrative Review.

Despite evidence-based protocols, inappropriate antibiotic use still presents a systemic global threat to health care in nursing homes (NHs). Nursing staff are responsible for recognizing signs and symptoms that may indicate urinary tract infections (UTIs). The current integrative review was designed to examine the state of the literature related to the role of nursing staff in UTI identification and care in NHs.

The prevalence of nurse burnout and its association with telomere length pre and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Burnout is a work-related stress syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Nurse burnout is related to nurses' deteriorating mental health and poorer patient care quality and thus, is a significant concern in healthcare. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has swept the world and distressed the healthcare systems.

A systematic meta-review of systematic reviews about interprofessional collaboration: facilitators, barriers, and outcomes.

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is a practice model to promote healthcare quality. Since the World Health Organization highlighted the importance of IPC in 2010, a large volume of IPC-related research has been published. Multiple systematic reviews have been conducted to synthesize the literature from varying perspectives.

The development of an evidence-informed Convergent Care Theory: Working together to achieve optimal health outcomes.

Background: Healthcare is a complex and divergent system with uncertainty, unpredictability, and multi-layered stakeholders. The relationships among the stakeholders are multifaceted and dynamic, requiring continual interpersonal connections, networks, and co-evolution. It is pivotal to have an evidence-informed theory to explain the phenomenon, uniting the multifaceted stakeholders' efforts.

A Qualitative Exploration of the Psychological Experience of Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19.

This qualitative study describes the psychological experience of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. These patients went through 3 psychological stages: extremely uncertainties during the initial diagnostic stage, complicated feelings of negativity during the treatment stage, and positive growth in the recovery stage. It is important for nurses to provide holistic care.
