The purpose of this survey was to clarify the relationship between the job characteristics of visiting nurses, their workload and their intent to continue their work. The self-administered questionnaire survey targeted visiting nurses at a home-visit nursing care agency in Fukuoka prefecture. The results revealed the following points. Nurses who felt that there was "a discrepancy between what they thought their job description would be and the reality," that there was "a lot more work besides visiting homes," that there were "so many situations that require them to make a decision" or that there were "so many complex nursing skills" were more likely to find their workload burdensome. The more positive they felt about "the future prospects of the nursing agency," "the number of nurses at work" or "their wages," the more likely they were to have the intention of working continuously. The survey also suggested that a raised level of labor-management awareness for managers would help improve the incentive to work for visiting nurses, and the realization of systematic continuing education as a proactive measure to alleviate reactions to difficult realities would also help nurses maintain the desire to work continuously.

Nurse rounds have long been an established practice in clinical settings, resulting in improved patient care through accurate assessment, evaluation, and communication. This practice has also been shown to create seamless patient-centered care among the medical team, the patient, and their family members. While nurse rounds are an important component of clinical care, school nurses have not adopted this practice.

Background/purpose: Nurses play a vital role in providing effective family-centered care (FCC) to enhance the quality of healthcare for children with chronic illnesses and increase family satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate nurses' perceptions and practices of FCC for children with chronic illnesses, and how nursing characteristics influence this relationship.
Method: This multicenter cross-sectional study involved a convenience sample of 405 nurses, each with at least six months of experience caring for chronically ill children, infants, and toddlers in Saudi Arabia.
Background: Nurses play a pivotal role in the provision of health care for children across Africa. With limited pediatric nursing content in undergraduate nursing programs and few available pediatric postgraduate nursing programs, there is a need for additional continuing professional development opportunities to prepare nurses with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to care for children.
Method: To address this need, and mindful of the unique profile of potential participants, the Children's Nursing Development Unit at the University of Cape Town developed a suite of asynchronous short online courses.
