Background: As the number of COVID-19 patients rises, there has been a notable increase in the workload for nurses. However, medium-sized hospitals lacked standardized protocols or consistent approaches to address the specific working conditions of nurses. Furthermore, concerns about patient care have heightened as the issue of nursing shortages coincides with the expansion of the comprehensive nursing care services project.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence patient safety management activities, such as calling, organizational commitment, job stress, and nursing work environment, among comprehensive nursing care service unit nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A conceptual framework based on the Job Demand-Resource model and literature review of patient safety management activities was used to develop structured questionnaires that were distributed to 206 participants working in 7 comprehensive nursing care service units of small and medium-sized hospitals with at least 300 beds in the S and K provinces. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and hierarchical regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.
Results: The results showed that calling (β =.383, p<.001) and job stress (β= -.187, p=.029) significantly influenced patient safety nursing activities in comprehensive care service ward nurses. The explanatory power of the model was 26.0% (F= 6.098, p<.001).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that comprehensive care service ward nurses' career, income, COVID-19 patient nursing anxiety, calling, and job stress were important factors that influence patient safety nursing activities. Therefore, it was essential to develop calling education programs and improve the nursing work system and establish a fair compensation system during the pandemic situation.

Unit 1219, Bordeaux Population Health Center, Inserm | University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.
Aims: Few studies have explored empowerment as a predictor of mental health outcomes in geriatric healthcare professionals. This research addresses this gap by using the 'effort-reward imbalance' theory of work-related stress to develop a comprehensive model, examining the role of psychological empowerment in the psychological outcomes of nursing home professionals.
Design: This cross-sectional exploratory study used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test a model on the mediating role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between effort-reward ratio and burnout, anxiety and depression.

Introduction: Several reviews have highlighted that the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is the best diagnostic tool for assessing nutritional status in cancer patients. However, previous meta-analyses summarizing the prevalence of malnutrition and overall survival in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are quite limited. This study aims to determine the overall prevalence and association between malnutrition, as defined by the PG-SGA, and mortality in adults with GI cancer.
