Developing a map to guide the design of a novel educational program for nursing students can assist educators in piecing together identified conceptual variables in a logical and reasonable manner. We developed a conceptual model for a clinical nurse leader (CNL) program to present to a school of nursing faculty and a state board of nursing for approval and adoption. The concept map was created following a literature review and analysis of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing description of the CNL. Following the identification of certain variables, such as theories underpinning nursing practice, clinical processes, and education, each team member researched identified variables of the conceptual diagram, wrote a thoughtful explanation of the components, and frequently met with the others to discuss each element of the model and the relationships among the variables. Over time, an emerging model developed and was adopted by the school of nursing and approved by the state board of nursing. An explanation of the components of the conceptual framework and their relationship to the CNL role may assist educators in developing and implementing other emerging CNL programs.

ProblemLongitudinal patient relationships can positively affect medical students' professional identity formation (PIF), understanding of illness, and socialization within medical practice, but a longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) model is not always feasible. The authors describe the novel Patient Student Partnership (PSP) program, which provides authentic roles for students in mentored longitudinal patient relationships while maintaining a traditional block clerkship model.ApproachThe PSP program at the University of Virginia School of Medicine pairs all matriculating medical students with a patient living with chronic illness to follow across multiple health care settings until graduation.

This study aims to suggest and empirically evaluate a conceptual framework that investigates the association of career self-efficacy with career intentions, emphasizing on the specific and sequential mediating mechanisms of two psychological constructs: person-environment (P-E) fit and career attitudes. Relationships among the constructs were hypothesized based on the relevant literature and were examined with AMOS and SPSS Process Macro using survey data collected from a sample of 341 job seekers in Bangladesh. Results showed that P-E fit and career attitudes each partially mediated the relationship between career self-efficacy and career intentions.

Prudent Physician Anger in Patient-Physician Interactions.

Health Care Anal

January 2025

Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand.

This paper questions the conventional wisdom that physicians must suppress anger in response to patient misbehaviour. It distinguishes the emotion of anger from its expression, which leans toward concerned frustration and disappointment for the sake of professionalism in patient care. Drawing on the framework of person-centred health care as a virtue ethic, the paper first suggests four reasons why and when physician anger toward patient behaviour may occasionally be appropriate: the inevitability of sometimes feeling angry, anger as a cognitive and behavioural resource, physician well-being, and potential patient benefit.
