Aim: To investigate the outcomes and the effect sizes of ethical leadership in nursing practice.

Background: Many meta-analysis of ethical leadership have been conducted in other fields, but there are none for the effects of ethical leadership of nurse leaders and should be investigated.

Evaluation: For a systematic literature review, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, OVID, Web of Science and Korean databases for studies published in Korean or English. We used Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) 2.0 and R 3.6.2 for the meta-analysis.

Key Issues: We divided the outcomes of ethical leadership into three categories and investigated the effect sizes: subordinates' perceptions of their leaders (ES = 0.65), subordinates' ethical behaviours (ES = 0.04) and job or organisational outcomes (ES = 0.45). In addition, we identified 14 outcome variables, and transformational leadership showed the greatest effect size (ES = 0.77) among them.

Conclusion: This study confirmed the positive effects of ethical nursing leadership on individual nurses' perceptions about their leaders, their jobs and organisations.

Implications For Nursing Management: Nursing organisations and nurse administrators should make efforts to highlight ethical leadership of nurse leaders to improve outcomes of organisational performance including individual nurses' perceptions about their leaders, their jobs and organisations.

Access to diagnostic imaging is significantly limited in much of the world, and sub-Saharan Africa is no exception. Clinician-performed point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may provide increased access to diagnostic imaging for many patients in low-resource settings, but training in this modality is limited. We describe the development and implementation of a context-specific, multi-modal pilot POCUS curriculum involving hands-on instruction, in-person and online didactics, asynchronous online image review, and quantitative evaluation.

Physician-scientists serve as conduits between clinical practice and scientific research, leveraging their unique expertise to improve patient care and drive medical innovation. This article highlights the indispensable role of research and publishing in promoting evidence-based practices, facilitating professional growth, and shaping public health policy. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, I examine the challenges faced by physician-scientists, such as ethical dilemmas and declining engagement in research, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are driving innovation in biosciences and are already affecting key elements of medical scholarship and clinical care. Many schools of medicine are capitalizing on the promise of these new technologies by establishing academic units to catalyze and grow research and innovation in AI/ML. At Stanford University, we have developed a successful model for an AI/ML research center with support from academic leaders, clinical departments, extramural grants, and industry partners.

Introduction: Existing evidence suggests a lower uptake of cervical cancer screening among Indian women. Coverage is lower in rural than urban women, but such disparities are less explored. So, the present study was conducted to explore the self-reported coverage of cervical cancer screening in urban and rural areas stratified by socio-demographic characteristics, determine the spatial patterns and identify any regional variations, ascertain the factors contributing to urban-rural disparities and those influencing the likelihood of screening among women aged 30-49 years factors residing in urban, rural, and overall Indian settings.

Background: Addressing the growing challenge of nurse retention requires coordinated actions at national and global levels to improve recruitment, retention policies, and investments in the nursing work environment. The nursing work environment, defined as the "organizational characteristics of a work setting that facilitate or constrain professional nursing practice", is critical in influencing whether nurses decide to leave their jobs. This study investigates the impact of differentiated nursing practices - which involved tailoring roles and responsibilities based on nurses' training, skills, and experience in Dutch hospitals - and investigated their impact on the nursing work environment and turnover intention (i.
