Problem: Without a doubt, the transition to a professional nursing role is a challenging and stressful experience for many new nurses, regardless of where they are employed; yet, no study has been conducted to comprehend in detail the transition experiences of newly graduated nurses employed in a resource-scarce rural health care setting.
Purpose: This study describes the transition experiences of newly graduated Filipino nurses during their initial clinical placement process.
Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach using structured interviews with 15 newly graduated Filipino nurses were used along with the Coliazzi's methodological framework for data analysis.
Problem: Strong organizational support can promote a sense of well-being and positive work behaviors in nurses. However, despite the importance of organizational support in nursing, this topic remains unexplored in the Philippines.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of organizational support perceptions on nurses' work outcomes (organizational commitment, work autonomy, work performance, job satisfaction, job stress, and turnover intention).
Background: Mounting literature on stress and coping in nursing students are available; however, most of the findings are confined to a single cultural group.
Aims: This study was conducted to determine the level of stress, its sources and coping strategies among nursing students from three countries: Greece, the Philippines and Nigeria.
Methods: Using a descriptive, comparative research design, 547 nursing students (161 Greek nursing students, 153 Filipino nursing students, 233 Nigerian nursing students) participated in the study from August 2015 to April 2016.
Aims And Objectives: To appraise and synthesise empirical studies examining sources of occupational stress and ways of coping utilised by nurse managers when dealing with stress.
Background: The Nurse Manager's role is challenging yet draining and stressful and has adverse consequences on an individual's overall health and well-being, patients' outcomes and organisational productivity. Considerable research has been carried out; however, an updated and broader perspective on this critical organisational issue has not been performed.
