The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model of the following variables, decentralization, professional autonomy, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Data were collected through a comprehensive survey of first-line nurse managers (N = 200) in acute care hospitals with more than 100 beds in British Columbia, Canada. The final model excluded all explored personal characteristics of the nurse manager-gender, health or vitality status, marital status, age, education, and years of supervisory or management experience. Job satisfaction was found to be an important predictor of organizational commitment. However, decentralization was most important because it affected organizational commitment directly, as well as indirectly, through professional autonomy and job satisfaction.

Objective: The study objective was to understand the importance of implementation strategies and tailoring needs to support Louisiana Nutrition and Community Health (NCH) practitioners' delivery of rural HEAL PSE changes.
Design: An explanatory sequential mixed method study design was used, including a survey to rank the importance of implementation strategies for HEAL PSE changes and a follow-up interview.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed VR intervention for mental health care professionals to improve attitudes and empathy and reduce stigma toward people with psychotic disorders.
