Aim: To analyse junior nurses transition shock status and its associated factors.

Background: When nurses experience transition shock, turnover intentions followed by turnover behaviour are likely, which is unfavourable for the stable development of nursing teams.

Methods: Using convenience sampling, 1,148 Chinese junior nurses were recruited. Those recruited completed a demographic questionnaire and the head nurses' humanistic care behaviour for nurses, feedback-seeking behaviour and transition shock of nurses scales. Data and associated factors of transition shock were analysed using SPSS and univariate and multivariate analyses, respectively.

Results: Head nurses' humanistic care behaviour and nurses feedback-seeking behaviour were significantly and negatively correlated with junior nurses' transition shock (mean score: 2.87 ± 0.85). Income satisfaction, head nurses' humanistic care behaviour, night shift frequency and educational background entered the regression equation.

Conclusions: Transition shock exists not only in new nurses but also in junior nurses with ≤5-year service. Those dissatisfied with their income have frequent night shifts, and higher education backgrounds have higher levels of transition shock.

Implications For Nursing Management: Head nurses need to reduce transition shock of nurses with ≤5-year service by integrating humanistic care into nursing management and creating a friendly environment to stimulate feedback-seeking behaviour.

Objective: Right ventricular failure is a leading cause of mortality among patients with various etiologies of cardiogenic shock. This case series outlines an innovative approach to directly unloading the right ventricle with the Impella LD or 5.5 without crossing the tricuspid valve in cases requiring tricuspid valve repair or replacement.

Studying the properties and phase diagram of iron at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions has relevant implications for Earth's inner structure and dynamics and the temperature of the inner core boundary (ICB) at 330 GPa. Also, a hexagonal-closed packed to body-centered cubic (bcc) phase transition has been predicted by many theoretical works but observed only in a few experiments. The recent coupling of high-power laser with advanced x-ray sources from synchrotrons allows for novel approaches to address these issues.

Ecosystems are substantially changing in response to ongoing climate change. For example, coral reefs have declined in coral dominance, with some reefs undergoing regime shifts to non-coral states. However, reef responses may vary through multiple heat stress events, with the rarity of long-term ecological datasets rendering such understanding uncertain.

Objectives: This study examines employment responses to a partner's disability onset and how this is moderated by working conditions: job satisfaction and psychosocial job demands.

Methods: We use longitudinal nationally representative data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. Following the health shock literature, we identify individuals whose partners report the onset of difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL) or instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) between two waves (n=1,020) as experiencing a 'care shock'.
