Abstract
AIM To explore the role of health communication in Shared Decision-Making (SDM) between nursing staff and older people in the community setting. BACKGROUND Society and healthcare services are marked by an exponentially ageing population, leading to a significant proportion of patients being older adults with highly demanding care needs. Scientific literature supports shared decision-making as a process that engages patients in their care. However, the increasing use of technology and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have influenced how nurses communicate with older patients. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how to develop health communication to reach effective, shared decision-making processes. METHODS Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review method, the literature search comprised five databases: PubMed, CINALH, Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO. RESULTS The 12 included studies were synthesised into three study patterns: (1) nurse-older patient health communication relationship, (2) older patients' perspectives and (3) nontherapeutic communication in end-of-life care. CONCLUSION This review underscored the crucial role of effective health communication in shaping SDM dynamics between nursing staff and older people in the community setting. Key elements included transparent information exchange, establishing trust and maintaining communication channels with informal caregiving networks. SDM actions were aligned with preserving older people's autonomy, but communication challenges persisted, particularly in end-of-life situations. Advanced care planning was recommended to address these shortcomings and improve communication among older people, healthcare professionals and families. IMPLICATIONS Implementing educational measures based on verbal and nonverbal health communication in nursing training could be beneficial. Nursing research could continue to develop and refine specific communication strategies adapted to the social determinants of health for diverse clinical situations regarding older adults in the community setting. REPORTING METHOD The authors have adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines through the PRISMA 2020 checklist. No Patient or Public Contribution.

Abstract
Background It is essential to provide evidence-based practice (EBP) courses for undergraduate nursing students. For this reason, students' beliefs and intentions to implement EBP should be measured to ensure that EBP courses are effective. Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate Saudi nursing students' EBP beliefs (EBPB) and implementation before they enroll in an EBP course. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Two scales were used: the EBPB scale and the EBP implementation (EBPI) scale. The questionnaire was available for completion a single time before the second-year nursing students were introduced to the EBP course. Results The study revealed that the mean age for students is 20 ± 0.83. Nearly two-thirds (61.54%) of students are female. It can be noted that 71.5% have not attended any EBP programs. Additionally, 65.38% of students understand the concept of EBP, and 68.46% are willing to apply EBP nursing care. Therefore, there is a positive correlation between the EBPB scale variable and the EBPI scale. Conclusion This study highlights the positive attitude of undergraduate nursing students toward EBP. Nursing education programs must place more emphasis on integrating EBP curricula into their teaching strategies, with a focus on developing students' knowledge, skills, and values in EBP.

Abstract
Background Clinical nursing competence includes ethics, cooperation with other professionals, and management, in addition to nursing abilities and responding per situation. Therefore, it may vary depending on one's experience and the work environment. However, there is a lack of studies exploring the competence for different experience levels. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the association between clinical nursing competence and the work environment by experience groups. Methods Anonymous self-administered questionnaire surveys were conducted on 717 nurses in regional core hospitals from December 2017 to March 2018. Clinical nursing competence was measured using the Clinical Nursing Competence Self-Assessment Scale (CNCSS). Association of CNCSS with experience and work environment was examined. Results Responses from 231 nurses with 1-10 years of experience were analyzed. Compared with those in the 2-year experience group, those in the 3-5- and 6-10-year experience groups assessed their "planned development of nursing care" and "assessment of care" competencies to be higher. Additionally, compared with those in the 2-year experience group, those in the 6-10-year experience group assessed their "clinical judgment" and "care coordination" competencies to be higher. Nurses with 1 year of experience showed significant positive correlations between clinical nursing competence and "good interpersonal relationship," "clarity about the organization's vision," and "ease of taking time off"; and those with 6-10 years of experience showed significant positive correlations between clinical nursing competence and "support from superiors and senior coworkers" and "established and easily accessible support system for taking time off for childcare and caregiving." Conclusion The relationship between clinical nursing competence and the work environment differed according to years of experience. Interventions to improve clinical nursing competence should be developed for each experience group considering the associations.

Abstract
Our purpose was to develop and evaluate the clinical outcomes of a nursing plan as a rooming-in practice for enhanced recovery of women with preeclampsia following a cesarean section. The authors developed a postoperative enhanced recovery nursing plan as a rooming-in practice for women with preeclampsia based on summarizing evidence-based best practices. The authors used convenience sampling to select women with preeclampsia after a cesarean section from the obstetrics department of a Class A tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China, as the participants in our study. There were 30 women in the experimental group. The postoperative enhanced recovery nursing care plan was formulated for five postoperative time points and incorporated management of blood pressure, temperature, and fluids, as well as monitoring of complications, pain management, activity and rest, diet management, and breastfeeding. The control group consisted of 30 women who received routine nursing care and health education. The authors compared levels of maternal self-efficacy, breastfeeding efficacy, anxiety, pain scores, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention compliance before and after the intervention. Women in the experimental group had a self-efficacy score of 7.5 ± 0.63, which was higher than that in the control group (5.4 ± 0.85); they had a higher breastfeeding efficacy score of 7.13 ± 0.68 when compared to the control group (4.23 ± 0.86); the anxiety score was 6.7 ± 1.62, which was lower than that in the control group (10.03 ± 1.87); and the pain score was lower at 3.26 ± 0.52 when compared to the control group (3.83 ± 0.83). All the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Postoperative blood pressure was controlled within the target range, and the rate of DVT prevention compliance increased in the experimental group. The implementation of a postoperative enhanced recovery nursing intervention for women with preeclampsia as part of the rooming-in practice was effective in helping manage the blood pressure, pain, and fluids of women with preeclampsia, improved their postoperative self-management ability and breastfeeding efficacy, reduced their anxiety levels, improved their compliance with the prevention of related complications, and ultimately promoted enhanced postoperative recovery, thereby guaranteeing the safety of mothers and newborns.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of "Timing It Right (TIR)" nursing on clinical outcome and psychological resilience in lung cancer patients undergoing radical thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS In this retrospective study, 60 patients from January 2022 to June 2023 were studied. Among them, observation group received TIR intervention (n = 34), while control group received routine nursing intervention (n = 26). The self-care ability, psychological resilience, quality of life (QoL), postoperative recovery, postoperative complications, and postoperative pulmonary function recovery were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The scores of ESCA (Exercise of Self-Care Agency) and CD-RISC (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), lung function, and QoL-C30 in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group after discharge, while the incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Furthermore, time to first bedtime activity and chest drain removal, and the length of postoperative hospitalization in the observation group were obviously shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION TIR nursing can effectively enhance the self-care ability of lung cancer patients undergoing radical thoracoscopic surgery, improve their psychological elasticity, enhance their quality of life, shorten the hospitalization time, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expansion of the role of the rheumatology nurse specialist led to the instigation, in 1999, of the first Masters programme in rheumatology nursing, with the aim of supporting clinical advancement with evidence-based practice. This study explored the experience of rheumatology nurses undertaking postgraduate study at Masters level. OBJECTIVES (1) To explore the perceptions and experiences of clinical nurse specialists undertaking a Masters programme in Rheumatology Nursing, including perceptions of impact. (2) To identify future educational needs. METHODS Ten rheumatology nurses who had completed a Masters degree in rheumatology nursing participated in a semi-structured video link or telephone interview conducted between 17th March 2021-17th May 2021. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was undertaken by two researchers and two public contributors. RESULTS Four themes were identified: (i) Increased confidence and the development of new clinical skills. (ii) The perceived impact on the organisation; (iii) Benefits of face-to-face learning; and (iv) Continuing evolution of the rheumatology nurse specialist role. Participants reported increased confidence in clinical skills and felt that their learning had benefited their employing organisation. However, lack of time and insufficient managerial support could impede the implementation of new skills. Learning examination techniques, engagement in learning and peer support were seen as advantages of face-to-face learning. Future educational needs focused on diagnostic and prescribing skills. CONCLUSIONS Participant learners perceived that completing a face-to-face Masters in rheumatology increased confidence in delivering new clinical skills and fostered peer networks, whilst also benefiting their employing organisations. There is a need for organisational support to apply learning to the clinical setting.

Abstract
Background Virtual reality (VR) has shown promising levels of effectiveness in nursing education, pain management, and rehabilitation. However, meta-analyses have discussed the effects of VR usage in nursing unilaterally and inconsistently, and the evidence base is diffuse and varied. Objective We aimed to synthesize the combined evidence from meta-analyses that assessed the effects of nurses using VR technology on nursing education or patient health outcomes. Methods We conducted an umbrella review by searching for meta-analyses about VR intervention in clinical nursing practice on Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed, and in reference lists. Eligible studies were published in English between December 1, 2012, and September 20, 2023. Meta-analyses of ≤2 intervention studies and meta-analyses without 95% CI or heterogeneity data were excluded. Characteristic indicators, population information, VR intervention information, and 95% CIs were extracted. A descriptive analysis of research results was conducted to discern relationships between VR interventions and outcomes. I2 and P values were used to evaluate publication bias. AMSTAR (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews) 2 and the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) checklist were used to appraise literature quality. Results In total, 768 records were identified; 74 meta-analyses were included for review. The most reported VR study conditions were neuronursing (25/74, 34%), pediatric nursing (13/74, 18%), surgical and wound care (11/74, 15%), oncological nursing (11/74, 15%), and older adult nursing (10/74, 14%). Further, 30% (22/74) of meta-analyses reported publication bias, and 15% (11/74) and 8% (6/74) were rated as "high" based on AMSTAR 2 and the GRADE checklist, respectively. The main outcome indicators among all included meta-analyses were pain (37/214, 17.3%), anxiety (36/214, 16.8%), cognitive function (17/214, 7.9%), balance (16/214, 7.5%), depression (16/214, 7.5%), motor function (12/214, 5.6%), and participation in life (12/214, 5.6%). VR treatment for cognition, pain, anxiety, and depression was effective (all P values were <.05), while the utility of VR for improving motor function, balance, memory, and attention was controversial. Adverse effects included nausea, vomiting, and dizziness (incidence: range 4.76%-50%). The most common VR platforms were Pico VR glasses, head-mounted displays, the Nintendo Wii, and the Xbox Kinect. VR intervention duration ranged from 2 weeks to 12 months (typically ≥4 wk). VR session length and frequency ranged from 5 to 100 minutes and from 1 to 10 times per week, respectively. Conclusions VR in nursing has positive effects-relieving patients' pain, anxiety, and depression and improving cognitive function-despite the included studies' limited quality. However, applying VR in nursing to improve patients' motor function, balance, memory, and attention remains controversial. Nursing researchers need to further explore the effects and standard operation protocols of VR in clinical practice, and more high-quality research on VR in nursing is needed.

Abstract
Gynecological malignant tumors refer to malignant tumors of organs and tissues centered on the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Among gynecological tumors, endometrial cancer is the most malignant, accounting for more than 80% of malignant tumors in the female reproductive tract. Common symptoms are vaginal bleeding and pain. This article aims to explore the application and analysis of the concept of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) in the clinical care of patients with advanced cancer pain from gynecological malignancies. ERAS aims to reduce complications, shorten hospitalization time, reduce medical costs, and enable patients to recover quickly by adopting a series of perioperative management measures for patients. This article analyzes the pain caused by late-stage cancer, proposes an ERAS multimodal analgesia method, and uses image fusion technology to detect cancer patients. This article finally conducts an experimental exploration of the clinical nursing of the ERAS concept in the treatment of advanced cancer pain in gynecological malignancies. The results of this study showed that in terms of pain impact score, before treatment, the score of group M was 39.07 and the score of group N was 38.92, and the difference was not statistically significant. The score after ERAS concept treatment was 58.14, and the score after traditional treatment was 43.79, with a significant difference. Research shows that the pain impact score after treatment is significantly better than before treatment, and the improvement effect of ERAS concept treatment is more obvious.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the rationality and standardization of oxygen therapy for hospitalized adult patients, so as to provide a basis for improving the quality of oxygen therapy care. Methods Self-designed "Inpatient Oxygen Therapy Status Questionnaire", using a cross-sectional survey, surveyed 185 oxygen inhalation patients in a tertiary general hospital from August 3-15, 2020, based on the formulation and promulgation of the Chinese Nursing Association The "Nursing care for adult patient with oxygen therapy" standard evaluates the rationality of clinical oxygen therapy implementation and the standardization of nursing measures. Results The reasonable rate of oxygen therapy for hospitalized adult patients was 19.46%, and the standardized rate of nursing measures was 54.52%. The reasonable and standardized rates of medical wards were higher than those of surgical and specialized wards, and were statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of complications of oxygen therapy was positively correlated with the rationality of oxygen therapy and the standardized data of nursing measures. Conclusion The clinical oxygen therapy nursing practice and the standard of "Nursing care for adult patient with oxygen therapy" are quite inadequate. There are differences in the quality of oxygen therapy in different wards. Nursing managers should strengthen training and management, standardize nursing behaviors, and improve the quality of oxygen therapy and ensure oxygen therapy for patients' safety.

Abstract
Nursing, being a profession in health, aims to improve the quality of the response to patients' demands, which have repercussions on the attitudes, behaviors and performance of nurses. BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationships among the nursing practice environment, nurse-patient interactions and patients' satisfaction with nursing care in a hospital context. METHODS The study applied a descriptive analysis. Based on the initial exploration of the data, we decided to perform a simple linear regression of the dimensions of the scales. RESULTS The latent variables and interactions between the different dimensions of the three constructs (the nursing practice environment (PES-NWI), nurse-patient interactions (NPIS-22-PT) and patients' satisfaction in the hospital context (SAPSNC-18)) were submitted to confirmatory analysis. The model was statistically significant, with a good fit with the data (χ2/gl = 128.6/41 (0.000); GFI = 0.900; AGFI = 0.831; TLI = 0.910; CFI = 0.907; RMSEA = 0.102). CONCLUSIONS The study showed favorable rates of overall satisfaction on the part of patients, such as the nurses' skills in dealing with their illness/health situation, ability to solve problems in a timely manner, responsiveness to patients' needs and technical competence.

Abstract
AIMS The objective was to evaluate whether the error rate in the application of the triage system decreased after the introduction of daily auditing, and it was also evaluated if the agreement rate between physician and nurse on triage priority levels increased after the introduction of daily auditing and if the error-related variables in the pre-intervention period changed in the post-intervention period. DESIGN A quasi-experimental study was performed with a pre-post design, between June 2019 and June 2021 in one emergency department. METHODS The accuracy and error rate of triage in the pre- and post-intervention period were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the relationships between the variables related to the error. The comparison between the priority level assigned by the physician and the triage nurse was analysed using Cohen's K. RESULTS Nine hundred four patients were enrolled in the pre-intervention period and 869 in the post-intervention period. The error rate in the pre-intervention period was 23.3% and in the post-intervention period was 9.7%. The concordance between the degree of priority expressed by the physician and the nurse varied from a quadratically weighted Cohen's K of 0.447 in the pre-intervention period to 0.881 in the post-intervention period. CONCLUSION Daily auditing is a clinical procedure that improves the nurse's application of the triage system. Daily auditing has reduced errors by the nurse, improving performance and concordance with the physician. IMPACT Triage systems are a key point for the stratification of the priority level of patients and it is therefore evident that they maintain high-quality standards. Through the practice of daily auditing, not only a reduction in the error rate, which ensures patient safety, but also an improvement in triage performance has been demonstrated. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION The study did not involve any patients during its conduction.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVES This article examined the association between workplace incivility experiences of nurses and patient safety (PS) culture in hospitals. BACKGROUND Workplace incivility, which is characterised by low-intensity behaviours with unclear intention to harm and disruption of workplace ambiance of mutual respect, may threaten the work environment, resulting in an unhealthy and unsafe workplace. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHOD This study surveyed 261 nurses in Saudi Arabia from June 2019 to August 2019 using the 'Hospital Survey of Patients' Safety Culture' and the 'Nurse Incivility Scale'. A multiple linear regression was performed with unit- and hospital-level PS culture as the dependent variables. RESULTS 'Organizational learning-continuous improvement' and 'Teamwork within units' were recognised as PS culture strengths. The nurses reported workplace incivility from patient/visitor as the most frequently experienced (mean = 2.27, standard deviation = 0.88). Working in Hospital B (ß = 0.24, p < .001, 95%CI = 0.15, 0.33) and having a baccalaureate degree in nursing (ß = 0.13, p = .014, 95%CI = 0.03, 0.23) were associated with better perceptions of unit-level PS, whereas working in medical-surgical wards (ß = -0.16, p = .002, 95%CI = -0.26, -0.06) and in intensive care units (ß = -0.19, p = .002, 95%CI = -0.32, -0.07) and experiencing patient/visitor incivility (ß = -0.09, p = .004, 95%CI = -0.15, -0.03) were associated with poor unit-level PS culture perceptions. Experiences of general incivility (ß = -0.24, p < .001, 95%CI = -0.35, -0.13) and supervisor incivility (ß = -0.26, p = .011, 95%CI = -0.46, -0.06) were associated with poor hospital-level PS culture perceptions. CONCLUSIONS Workplace incivility from patients/visitors had a negative association with unit-level PS culture perceptions, whereas experiences on general and supervisor incivilities had an adverse relationship with hospital-level PS culture perceptions. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The study emphasises the call to eradicate any form of incivility in healthcare settings to guarantee a PS culture. Hospital and nursing managers should prioritise the creation and implementation of policies aimed at eliminating uncivil behaviours in clinical settings to ensure that unit- and hospital-level PS culture are above standards.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The study aimed to determine the impact of clinical nurses' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic on their learning agility and readiness for other future pandemics. BACKGROUND It is important that nurses have high learning agility so they can successfully adapt their experience to COVID-19 and other pandemics that may occur in the future. This will positively affect the readiness of nurses to fight against possible future pandemics. DESIGN The study is cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational research. METHODS The study was carried outby data collection from 383 nurses. Data were collected via online survey using social media. The study methods were followed by the STORBE guidelines. RESULTS The average score of nurses on the Marmara Learning Agility Scale was 4.07 ± .030. The level of readiness of nurses for new pandemics was 96.1%. Positive but weak correlations were found between the effect of nurses' experiences in the COVID-19 pandemic with their readiness for potential future pandemics and their learning agility. CONCLUSIONS It was observed that nurses have high learning agility, gained experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and these experiences affected their readiness for other potential future pandemics. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Health institutions to develop learning agility to support career management, manager selection and performance improvement for clinical nurses.

Abstract
Providing touch-massage care to children in child psychiatry is a process that requires specific learning and a certain psychological and emotional availability. In this context, clinical training in nursing provides tools and resources for the caregiver. This type of care consolidates the relationship of trust and lays the foundations of the helping relationship. The bodily approach allows to approach the awareness of the emotions and to bring appeasement.

Abstract
Therapeutic touch body care in the management of eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa, aims to deepen the relationship of trust and the therapeutic alliance. Nursing research and the development of clinical nursing care, with nursing diagnoses as a support, have made it possible to provide new responses adapted to the patient's needs. This reassuring helping relationship favors the work around the patient's psychic and physical perceptions. The notion of the gender of the caregiver in the body approach care is a dimension to be taken into consideration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Strokes are among the leading conditions that lead to disability and death. Currently, there is a lack of ideal nursing care for stroke patients. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of combining evidence-based nursing and clinical nursing pathway to establish a nursing model to provide care for patients who suffered a stroke. METHODS A comprehensive search of online-based databases will be carried out to identify relevant publications, the databases include EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, VIP databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang database. The search will consider all Randomized Controlled Trials, interrupted time series studies, and controlled before and after studies, all related to providing care for neurology and strokes by combining evidence-based nursing and clinical nursing pathway to elevate access and outcomes for patients with stroke. The language of publications will be restricted to English and Chinese. The author will select studies, extract data, and evaluate the quality of the involved articles. RevMan 5.3 software will be employed to perform all statistical analysis. RESULTS The outcomes of the proposed study will provide scientific evidence for the nursing care of evidence-based nursing combined with clinical nursing pathway for stroke patients. CONCLUSION The planned systematic analysis will be first to examine the effect of combining evidence-based nursing and clinical nursing pathway to present a nursing model to treat stroke patients.

Abstract
The number of disabled students enrolled in higher education institutions is increasing. Yet in disciplines such as nursing, where placements are an important part of student success, students' lived experiences, though an important and necessary aspect of promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion, has been ignored. In this paper, we respond to such issues by creating and utilizing a novel storytelling method that harnesses the antiessentialist philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. Storytelling empowers students to both describe their experiences and inform institutions on how to better serve them, and we use concepts from Deleuze and Guattari to provide a framework for thinking about students and their pathways toward success as multiple. As we show, applying storytelling as a method through this lens offers an expansion of strategies to put students first and, therefore, promote equity at the administrative, research, educational, and practical levels. We describe how thinking rhizomatically opens new avenues of insight, allowing for the creation of institutional assemblages based on a diverse array of students' needs, enabling them to become successful in their own ways.

Abstract
Nursing care is based on the interaction between nurse and patient. The L’Échelle d’Interactions Infirmière-Patient-23 (EIIP-23) is used to evaluate and understand the perception of nurses about their interventions in the practice of care, to reach better health results. The present study aims to validate the questionnaire EIIP-23 to Portuguese, evaluating its psychometric properties. Methods: This is methodological research for the process of cross-cultural translation and adaptation. Results: The process of cross-cultural translation and adaptation were satisfactory. The committee of experts reached an agreement of more than 90% in the first evaluation for all the items. The internal consistency of the nurse-patient interaction scale 22-PT (NPIS-22-PT) was 0.864. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out in the NPIS-22-PT model, with three factors. The results show that the final factorial solution presents acceptable goodness of fit indexes and adequate convergent validity. Conclusion: The translated version produced a good quality psychometric evaluation, and can be considered a valid, trustworthy, and useful instrument to evaluate the nurse-patient interactions in Portugal. It showed acceptable reliability and validity in psychometric tests. In the context of nursing, the NPIS-22-PT is a relevant instrument.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of sense of coherence explains a person's resources to maintain health during times of considerable strain and is suggested to be applicable in nursing. A summary of how it has been applied and adapted in clinical nursing is warranted for further conceptual development and research. OBJECTIVE The scoping review aimed to explore how the sense of coherence scale has been used from a clinical nursing research perspective. METHOD Published articles (N = 2812) through December 2018 were identified in the PubMed, Cinahl and PsychInfo databases. A total of 298 articles were included in the review. A five-stage process was used to extract data based on pre-determined selection criteria. Summative content analysis was used for the categorisation of the data. The PRISMA-ScR checklist was chosen. RESULTS A majority of the articles were published within the Nordic countries and the short version SOC-13 was the most frequently used scale. Most studies stated the significant relationship of a higher sense of coherence and higher emotional and psychosocial well-being, quality of life, and well-being irrespective of condition. Other articles proposed identifying patients' degree of sense of coherence either to individualise care or to plan an intervention to strengthen sense of coherence. CONCLUSIONS The sense of coherence scale has been widely used within nursing and identified as an important factor to individualise care. Future research should focus on rigorous intervention studies to determine if recognising patients' degree of sense of coherence in clinical nursing enables tailored care for patients when dealing with a disease-related condition. More evidence is needed when seeking to improve sense of coherence. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE These results show an expansion of the concept of sense of coherence and endorses its use in nursing care for identifying patients' needs in the process of presenting individualised care.

Abstract
Background This study aims to evaluate the use and effectiveness of case management in clinical nursing education. Methods A sample of 181 nurses at the N3–N5 level were selected for clinical nursing education and divided into two groups using the random number method. The control group (n = 90) received traditional training, and the observation group (n = 91) received a case management model of training. The theoretical knowledge, nursing skills, training satisfaction, job stress, workplace mindfulness, career satisfaction, and job happiness of the two groups were compared. In addition, 50 patients were selected as subjects for each group, and their satisfaction with the nursing care that they received was also measured and compared. Results Theoretical knowledge and nursing skills scored higher in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05), and overall training satisfaction was higher in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). After training, job stress in the observation group was lower than in the control group (p < 0.05), while workplace mindfulness, career satisfaction, and job happiness were higher in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). In terms of nursing quality, on all indicators, the observation group scored higher than the control group (p < 0.05), and the patients’ nursing satisfaction scores were higher in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Case management can improve the professionalism and overall skills of nurses at the N3–N5 levels. It is conducive to reducing job stress, enhancing workplace mindfulness, improving career satisfaction and job happiness, and improving the quality of nursing, thereby providing patients with better nursing care.

Abstract
This issue of the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) contains the inaugural installment of STAT, a visually compelling one-page review about oncologic emergencies or other clinical care issues that require urgent nursing attention. The reasons for STAT are simple. The need for nurses to have accessible and timely references to support clinical practice is well established. Studies consistently confirm that time management is a core nursing competency. To best manage that time, nurses who have ready access to foundational clinical care content can better affect patient outcomes.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology with problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model in clinical nursing education of congenital heart surgery, and to further improve the teaching quality of clinical nursing in congenital heart surgery. In this study, a total of 132 trainees of clinical nursing in congenital heart surgery from a grade-A tertiary hospital in 2019 were selected and randomly divided into 3D printing group or traditional group. The 3D printing group was taught with 3D printed heart models combined with PBL teaching technique, while the traditional group used conventional teaching aids combined with PBL technique for teaching. After the teaching process, the 2 groups of nursing students were assessed and surveyed separately to evaluate the results. Compared to the traditional group, the theoretical scores, clinical nursing thinking ability, self-evaluation for comprehensive ability, and teaching satisfaction from the questionnaires filled by the 3D printing group were all higher than the traditional group. The difference was found to be statistically significant (P < .05). Our study has shown the 3D printing technology combined with the PBL teaching technique in the clinical nursing teaching of congenital heart surgery achieved good results.

Abstract
Research has consistently demonstrated that viewing one's body in a mirror after an amputation or other perceived or visible body disfigurements can be a traumatic experience. Mirror viewing or mirroring is a taboo subject, which may be the reason this trauma has not been previously detected or acknowledged. Traumatic mirror viewing may lead to mirror discomfort, mirror avoidance, and a host of psychosocial concerns, including post-traumatic stress. As mirroring is complex, four qualitative mirror viewing studies, embodiment concepts, polyvagal theory, and memory theories were used to develop a model. In this article, foundational knowledge that led to the development of the model is shared. A neurocognitive model of mirror viewing is offered together with implications for nursing research, practice, and education.

Abstract
Aim To identify and synthesize qualitative evaluation methods used in nursing interventions. Design A systematic qualitative review with a content analysis. Four databases were used: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase and CINAHL using pre-defined terms. The included papers were published from 2014-2018. Methods We followed the guidelines of Dixon-Woods et al., Sandelowski and Barroso, the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist and The Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative Research Approach. Results Of 103 papers, 15 were eligible for inclusion. The main theme Challenging complexity by evaluating qualitatively described processes and characteristics of qualitative evaluation. Two analytic themes emerged: Evaluating the implementation process and Evaluating improvements brought about by the programme. Conclusion Different qualitative evaluation methods in nursing are a way of documenting knowledge that is difficult to illuminate in natural settings and make an important contribution when determining the pros and cons of an intervention.

Abstract
Clinical nurses are ideally placed to write for publication in addition to those who work in academia who have this as an accepted part of their role. Nurses generate new evidence from their work in practice by carrying out research and audits and being involved in practice development projects, for example. This resource of knowledge needs to be shared with others, ideally in an international arena so that nurses can learn from each other. Nursing in the United Kingdom is now an all graduate profession and many nurses go on to study at both Masters and PhD level, providing writing from all levels of academic study that can be adapted for publication. It seems wrong to undertake a study and obtain findings and then choose not share this widely. Both a lack of confidence and time are cited as reasons why nurses do not write; however, to share knowledge with others is a duty as part of any nursing role for the improvement of staff working practices and patient care. All nurses need knowledge that is practical, experiential, and scientific; clinical nurses who write for publication can provide this.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe peoples' experiences and expectations of support when living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHOD We conducted and analysed face-to-face or telephone interviews with 17 individuals (aged 44-77 years) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The interviewer asked open-ended questions aimed at encouraging further narration, and we analysed the participants' narratives using a phenomenological hermeneutical approach. This report adheres to the COREQ guidelines. RESULTS The overall theme suggests that people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease describe support as shared knowledge and experiences, based on the following subthemes; similar experiences, the need of genuine professional knowledge, self-reliance versus self-blame, and the Internet - feeling safe but uncertain. CONCLUSIONS People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease find their strength through shared knowledge and dialogical support with others who have similar experiences and with professionals. A person-centred eHealth approach may be suitable for this group as it offers both collaboration and support. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE There is a demand for access to genuine professional knowledge as additional support to patients' own capabilities and needs. Patient associations were assessed as reliable sources of information and to some extent also support, but the importance of access to professional sources was also stressed.

Abstract
Transurethral plasma kinetic resection is an efficient and safe surgery for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Solifenacin succinate (SOL) is safe and clinically efficient for patients who endure transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) during the perioperative period. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical optimal dose of SOL for nursing patients after TURP during the perioperative period. Patients were recruited and randomized into three groups: SOL (3 mg), SOL (6 mg), and SOL (10 mg). All patients received medical care for 3 weeks after TURP. Levels of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, epithelial neutrophil activation peptide-7 (ENA-7), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-17 and IL-8, were investigated in the patients of all three groups. The efficacy of SOL was analyzed via the following scores: International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OBSS), short-form voiding (SFV) and storage score (TS) of International Continence Society (ICS). Outcomes showed that IL-2 and ENA-7 plasma concentration levels were upregulated, whereas TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17 and IL-8 were downregulated, in all three groups. The findings showed that patients that received SOL (6 mg) exhibited significant improvements compared to the other patient groups from baseline to the end of treatment, as determined by IPSS, OBSS, ICS, SFV, TS (P<0.01). In conclusion, these results indicate that SOL (6 mg) is the optimal dose for patients who undergo TURP during the perioperative period. Notably, treatment with SOL (6 mg) exhibited significant additional benefits in terms of lower urinary tract symptoms during the early recovery period after TURP, suggesting SOL is clinically significant for nursing patients who suffer have undergone TURP during the perioperative period.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate regarding workplace health and safety factors, and to identify strategies to preserve and promote a healthy nursing workplace. METHODS Data collected using the Delphi technique with input from 41 key informants across four participant categories drawn from a Chinese university and four hospitals were thematically analysed. RESULTS Most respondents agreed on the importance of nurses' health and safety, and that nurse managers should act to protect nurses, but not enough on workplace safety. Hospital policies, staff disempowerment, workload and workplace conflicts are major obstacles. CONCLUSION The reality of Chinese nurses' workplaces is that health and safety risks abound and relate to socio-cultural expectations of women. Self-management of risks is neccessary, gaps exist in understanding of workplace risks among different nursing groups and their perceptions of the professional status, and the value of nurses' contribution to ongoing risks in the hospital workplace. The Chinese hospital system must make these changes to produce a safer working environment for nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT This research, based in China, presents an instructive tale for all countries that need support on the types and amounts of management for nurses working at the clinical interface, and on the consequences of management neglect of relevant policies and procedures.

Abstract
In recent decades, debate on the quality and safety of healthcare has been dominated by a measure and manage administrative rationality. More recently, this rationality has been overlaid by ideas from human factors, ergonomics and systems engineering. Little critical attention has been given in the nursing literature to how risk of harm is understood and actioned, or how patients can be subjectified and marginalised through these discourses. The problem of assuring safety for particular patient groups, and the dominance of technical forms of rationality, has seen the word 'unavoidable' used in connection with intractable forms of patient harm. Employing pressure injury policy as an exemplar, and critically reviewing notions of risk and unavoidable harm, we problematise the concept of unavoidable patient harm, highlighting how this dominant safety rationality risks perverse and taken-for-granted assumptions about patients, care processes and the nature of risk and harm. In this orthodoxy, those who specify or measure risk are positioned as having more insight into the nature of risk, compared to those who simply experience risk. Driven almost exclusively as a technical and administrative pursuit, the patient safety agenda risks decentring the focus from patients and patient care.

Abstract
Evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) emphasizes the integration of the best research evidence with patient values, specialist suggestions, and clinical circumstances during the process of clinical decision-making. EBHC is a recognized core competency in modern healthcare. Nursing is a professional discipline of empirical science that thrives in an environment marked by advances in knowledge and technology in medicine as well as in nursing. Clinical nurses must elevate their skills and professional qualifications, provide efficient and quality health services, and promote their proficiency in EBHC. The Institute of Medicine in the United States indicates that evidence-based research results often fail to disseminate efficiently to clinical decision makers. This problem highlights the importance of better promoting the evidence-based healthcare fundamentals and competencies to frontline clinical nurses. This article describes the historical background and present development of evidence-based healthcare from the perspective of modern clinical nursing in light of the importance of evidence-based healthcare in clinical nursing; describes the factors associated with evidence-based healthcare promotion; and suggests strategies and policies that may improve the promotion and application of EBHC in clinical settings. The authors hope that this paper provides a reference for efforts to improve clinical nursing in the realms of EBHC training, promotion, and application.

Abstract
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has without doubt been the most important advance in thoracic surgery. The general anesthesia before the tracheal intubation for VATS was often accompanied with tracheal mucosa and lung injuries, which were typically manifested as painful throat, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. However, the non-intubated anesthesia VATS can avoid these shortcomings due to its shorter anesthesia time, simpler steps, and quicker post-operative recovery. A total of 63 patients underwent VATS lobectomy under non-intubated anesthesia from July 2012 to July 2013. Good teamwork, proper pre-operative visit, and comfortable intra-operative position had ensured the success of these operations. In conclusion, adequate pre-operative preparation, careful nursing, and close cooperation can achieve a successful non-intubated anesthesia VATS.

Abstract
Nursing is an applied science. While there is a wide range of nursing theories and nursing care models, resolving the health problems and meeting the health needs of clients is the common objective of all in the nursing profession. The nursing profession may be subdivided into hospital clinical nursing and community health nursing (CHN). CHN is further subdivided into public health nursing, school health nursing, and industrial health nursing. The past 60 years has been a period of significant growth and improvement in Taiwan that has enhanced the nation's socioeconomic condition, general living standards, and general public health. The nursing profession has seen profound progress as well, not only in terms of content but also in terms of nursing care models, which are increasingly framed around core public health needs and take into consideration different health perspectives. Nursing in Taiwan has gradually established its own professional function and autonomy.

Abstract
Stress at clinical environment is one of the cases that could affect the education quality among nursing students. The study aims to investigate Iranian nursing students' perceptions on the stressors in clinical environment in the South Western part of Iran. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2010 to include 300 nursing students after their completion of second clinical nursing course in a hospital environment. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire, with focus on the clinical environment stressors from personal, educational and training viewpoints. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) and descriptive statistics tests. Among the various stressors, the highest scores were given to the faculty (71 ± 19.77), followed by the students' personal characteristics (43.15 ± 21.79). Given that faculty-related factors provoked more stress in nursing students, nursing administration should diligently evaluate and improve communication skills among faculty to reduce student stress and enhance learning.
