Purpose: To explore the influence of nurses' adversity quotient on their work stress and to further explore whether professional identity can mediate in this process.
Methods: From July to September 2023, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses in six public tertiary hospitals in Suzhou and Wuxi, China, including demographic information, Adversity Response Profile (ARP), The Professional Identity Scale for Nurses (PIS) and Stress Overload Scale (SOS). Analyzed the collected data using correlation, multiple linear regression, and structural equation modeling.
Results: 1,578 nurses completed the questionnaires, resulting in 1,468 valid questionnaires. The average score of Stress Overload Scale of the surveyed nurses was 65.26 ± 17.93 points (Total score of Stress Overload Scale: 110). The correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between nurses' adversity quotient and their professional identity (r = 0.59, P < 0.01); professional identity and work stress were negatively correlated (r=-0.44, P < 0.01); and adversity quotient was also negatively correlated with work stress (r=-0.31, P < 0.01). The structural equation model indicated that professional identity might mediate between stress and adversity quotient.
Conclusion: Clinical nurses suffer from heavy work stress, and nurses' adversity quotient could change their work stress level by affecting their professional identity. Strategies and measures to improve professional identity is expected to buffer the impact of adversity quotient on nurses' work stress.

Background: There is a need to examine factors that can positively influence the retention of nursing educators and students as the nursing profession faces a nursing shortage. The nurse educator-student relationship is the most influential in academia and can affect retention. Focusing on the development of the relationship between the educator and the student may provide insight related to the new role required of the student in nursing academia to be successful.

Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs), also known as tumor boards, play a crucial role in collaborative decision-making within Western healthcare systems. This study explores the significance of MDMs in Danish cancer care through an ethnographic lens, based on fieldwork conducted at five university hospitals. Clinicians regard these meetings as fostering efficiency, reflexivity, consistency, transparency, and security in patient care, and recognize MDMs as "the highest decision-making level" in cancer care.

Faculty development programs are an important part of career building and professional fulfillment for health professionals. A framework that addresses the centrality of fulfillment at work for diverse medical careers is lacking, yet necessary, for faculty development programs to have a comprehensive positive impact. A conceptual framework for faculty development to support meaningful careers for all individuals was, therefore, constructed through an exploration of the literature on professional fulfillment, career planning, and development across career paths, stages, and identity groups, as well as forms of professional career support such as mentoring.
