Aim: To examine Croatian nurses' perception of implicit nursing care rationing and the patient safety culture from the perspective of acute care hospital staff.
Background: In the past three decades, the Croatian health system has undergone numerous transformations driven by geopolitical, legal, financial, demographic, scientific and technological progress. These changes have led to systemic changes in the structure, organisation, financing and delivery of health care, and thus, of nursing care.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 438 nurses was conducted at four university hospitals in Croatia, based on the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care Questionnaire.
Results: A lower assessment of the quality of care in the unit is associated with a higher score on the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care Questionnaire, r = -.379, p < .001. A lower satisfaction with the current workplace is associated with a higher score on the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care Questionnaire, r = -.432, p < .001.
Conclusion: The perception of nurses in Croatia indicates that the implications of nursing care rationing and dissatisfaction with their post in acute care hospital units are closely related to poor quality of nursing care provided to patients.
Implications For Nursing Management: Based on these results, nurse managers should take their nurses' perceptions of implicit nursing care rationing into consideration in order to develop strategies to improve nursing care delivery, nursing satisfaction and, consequently, better nursing care quality.

Background: Spinal immobilization, a widely used trauma prehospital intervention, is known to cause discomfort, yet little is known about interventions to reduce this discomfort.
Objective: This scoping review aims to evaluate prehospital interventions to reduce discomfort from spinal immobilization in adult trauma patients.
Method: This scoping review assessed prehospital pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions to address discomfort from spinal immobilization in adult trauma patients.

Background: Patient transitions in critical care require coordination across provider roles and rely on the quality of providers' actions to ensure safety. Studying the behavior of providers who transition patients in critical care may guide future interventions that ultimately improve patient safety in this setting.
Objective: To establish the feasibility of using the Theory of Planned Behavior in a trauma environment and to describe provider behavior elements during trauma patient transfers (de-escalations) to non-critical care units.
