Aims: This descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study investigated the effect of burnout on nurses' professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Background: Nurses have been experiencing high levels of burnout since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we know little about how burnout affects their professional commitment. Methods: The study was conducted between March 2021 and April 2021. The sample consisted of 671 nurses. Participation was voluntary. Data were collected online using a personal information form, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale (NPCS). The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Half the participants stated that the pandemic adversely affected their professional commitment (51.4%). More than a quarter of the participants noted that they considered quitting (36.4%). Participants had a mean MBI and NPCS score of 2.43±0.52 (above average) and 2.07±0.76 (average), respectively. Their MBI and NPCS scores were negatively correlated (r= -0.428; p=0.001). Burnout explained 18% of the total variance of professional commitment (p=0.000; R2: 0.182) Conclusion: Nurses experience high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization during the pandemic, resulting in reduced professional commitment. There is also a positive correlation between personal accomplishment and professional commitment.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that over 45% of healthcare workers exhibit symptoms of stress, but the impacts of occupational stress on patient safety culture (PSC) are not well understood. Objectives: This study was to determine the relationship between occupational stress and PSC at Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital in 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 healthcare workers at Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital in November 2022. Data was collected using the Vietnamese version of the HSOPSC 2.0 tool (Cronbach’s alpha 0.68-0.93) and the DASS-21-S. Results: The results showed that 15% of healthcare workers had mild to severe stress. The average PSC score was 3.13 with a standard deviation of 0.36 (5-point Likert scale). Higher occupational stress was associated with lower overall PSC. Specifically, occupational stress negatively impacted three domains of patient safety: teamwork, error communication, and hospital management support for patient safety. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that reducing healthcare worker stress could be an intervention to improve PSC. Hospitals should consider implementing workplace stress relief initiatives as an important factor in promoting PSC in healthcare, which can directly impact patient health and satisfaction.

Nurses are key professionals in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and they provide services beyond expectations. Although psychiatric nurses are suffering from anxiety and burnout they need to enhance and protect their quality of life. The major aim of the study was to investigate the effects of COVID-19 anxiety on COVID-19 quality of life and COVID-19 burnout, and the impact of COVID-19 quality of life on COVID-19 burnout on psychiatric nurses. The descriptive-relational design was used. The sample consisted of 159 nurses working in a state psychiatric hospital in İstanbul, determined by convenience sampling method. The data of the study was collected by using the socio-demographic form, COVID-19 Anxiety Scale, COVID-19 Life Quality Scale, and COVID-19 Burnout Scale. Statistically significant relationships were found between COVID-19 anxiety, COVID-19 life quality, and COVID-19 burnout. The increase in the anxiety of psychiatric nurses due to COVID-19 also increases the negative effect on their quality of life. COVID-19 anxiety positively affects burnout related to COVID-19. The increase in the negative effects of COVID-19 on the life quality of nurses causes an increase in burnout levels. The effect of COVID-19 on their life quality and the burnout based on COVID-19 was investigated in the research. Nurses are surpassing traditional boundaries, providing their services without constraints to confront the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Their dedication knows no bounds as they work tirelessly to navigate through these difficult times, transcending conventional limits to offer essential care and support. Policymakers can alleviate the increasing physical and psychosocial burden of psychiatric nurses by providing financial and moral support. Additionally, medical, psychosocial, and legal resources should be provided to psychiatric nurses.

Nurses encounter various situations in their work that can affect their emotional status, and they can contagion these emotions to others. These emotions experienced by nurses can influence nursing care. The study used a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design to explore the impact of emotional contagion among nurses on unmissed nursing care. The research was conducted with 304 volunteer nurses through an online survey. Data were collected using a survey form consisting of a Demographic Information Form, Emotional Contagion Scale, and Missed Nursing Care Needs Scale. The data were analyzed by the researchers. The study revealed that nurses had a moderate level of emotional contagion. Differences in emotional contagion levels were found based on gender, age, educational level, type of institution, marital status, working hours, institutional experience, unit of work, and voluntary choice of job (p < 0.05). Additionally, the study showed that the level of missed nursing care among nurses was low. "Communication" was identified as the most significant factor causing missed nursing care. The level of missed nursing care varied according to gender, age, educational status, type of institution, professional and institutional experience, marital status, working hours, unit of work, and duration of employment (p < 0.05). Emotional contagion had a negative impact on the need for missed nursing care (β = -0.150, t = -2.636, R2 = 0.022, p < 0.05), its causes (β = -0.193, t = -3.411, R2 = 0.037, p < 0.05), especially workforce resources (β = -0.249, t = -4.470, R2 = 0.062, p < 0.05), and material resources (β = -0.271, t = -4.898, R2 = 0.074, p < 0.05). To reduce the level of missed nursing care, fostering positive emotions among nurses and promoting their transmission can be utilized as a strategy.

IThis study aims to determine the relationship between fear of death and the meaning of life in nursing students and nurses caring for terminally ill patients. The study was conducted in a cross-sectional and relationship-seeking research design. The research was conducted between March 15 and June 30, 2023. 123 nurses and 139 nursing students working with terminal-stage patients at a university hospital participated in the study. The study was conducted with a total of 262 participants. The Personal Information Form was collected using the Fear of Death Scale (DAS) and the Meaning of Life Scale (MLQ). The relationship between fear of death and the meaning of life in nursing students and nurses caring for terminally ill patients was determined to be 31.74 (7.13) years old on average for the nurses participating in the study and 22.71 (1.66) years for the nursing students. 61% of nurses and 66.2% of nursing students were women. It was determined that 56.1% of the nurses had undergraduate degrees and 77.7% of the students were third-year students. According to the Student t-test analysis, a significant difference was detected between the groups in terms of the total score of the DAS, and the DAS scores of the nursing students were statistically significantly higher. According to the Pearson correlation analysis, a weak negative relationship was detected between the total scores of the nurses' DAS and MLQ, while no significant difference was found between the scale scores of the nursing students. In this study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) was found to be 0.96 and the Meaning of Life Scale (MLQ) was 0.68. It can be said that there is no relationship between the fear of death and the meaning of life in nursing students who care for terminal patients, but there is a relationship between the fear of death and the meaning of life in nurses.
本研究旨在确定护理专业学生和护理临终病人的护士对死亡的恐惧与生命意义之间的关系。本研究采用横断面和寻求关系的研究设计。研究时间为 2023 年 3 月 15 日至 6 月 30 日。一家大学医院的 123 名护士和 139 名护理专业学生参加了研究。本研究共有 262 名参与者。个人信息表采用死亡恐惧量表（DAS）和生命意义量表（MLQ）进行收集。参与研究的护士平均年龄为 31.74 (7.13)岁，护理专业学生平均年龄为 22.71 (1.66)岁。61%的护士和 66.2%的护理专业学生为女性。56.1%的护士拥有本科学历，77.7%的学生为三年级学生。根据学生 t 检验分析，两组间 DAS 总分存在显著差异，护理专业学生的 DAS 得分明显更高。根据皮尔逊相关分析，护士的 DAS 总分与 MLQ 之间存在微弱的负相关关系，而护生的量表得分之间没有发现明显差异。本研究发现，死亡焦虑量表（DAS）的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.96，生命意义量表（MLQ）的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.68。可以说，护理临终病人的护生对死亡的恐惧与生命意义之间没有关系，但护士对死亡的恐惧与生命意义之间有关系。

It is important to determine the level of social media addiction in the working population and to determine its relationship with sleep quality, and how both variables affect the work performance of the employees. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of social media addiction levels and sleep quality of employees at Amasya University on their work performance. The population of the cross-sectional study consisted of staff in all employment types at Amasya University. Sociodemographic data form, Social Media Addiction Scale-Adult Form (SMAS-AF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Work Role Functioning Questionnaire (WRFQ) were applied by face-to-face survey method between August 15 and October 15, 2022. A total of 148 individuals participated in the study. The total score on the SMAS-AF was 40.0 (20-84), the PSQI total score was 6.0 (1-15) and the WRFQ total score was 92.5 (6-100). The WRFQ was found to be lower in individuals with associate degree or higher education, females, and academic staff (p=0.042; p=0.010 and p=0.008 respectively). The WRFQ total score indicated low, moderate, and negative significant correlations with the SMAS-AF and PSQI total scores (r= -0.333 and -0.344, respectively, p< 0.001). It was found that as the level of social media addiction increased and sleep quality deteriorated, work role functionality was negatively affected. A holistic approach, including behavioral problems, should be exhibited in the evaluation of work performance.
