The diverse cultural landscape of Europe underscores the importance of culturally safe healthcare. There is a necessity to assess cultural competence among European nursing faculty to provide an international perspective on cultural competence.
A descriptive, cross-sectional study.
An assessment of cultural competencies was conducted using the Cultural Competence Assessment scale, either in its original language (English) or in its translated and validated versions in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Turkish. An online questionnaire was used to collect data.
The study was conducted in 71 higher institutions, distributed across 17 countries through a consecutive sample of 1364 nursing faculty.
The ethical principles of biomedical research were respected during the study, and the confidentiality of the data was guaranteed.
The mean level of cultural competence of the European nursing faculty was at the level of ‘good’. They showed greater cultural awareness and sensitivity than cultural competence behaviors. Significant associations were found between cultural competence level and the language of the questionnaire, level of education, having a nursing degree, leisure stays abroad, having friends from other countries or cultures, and international experiences abroad and at home. The better levels of cultural competence were found in profiles with the categories of: women with a Nursing Degree, a higher level of education, and with an ERASMUS+ stay experience.
This study offers an international overview of the cultural competence of nursing faculty. While the overall level of cultural competence was good, there is a need to reinforce the behaviors and factors that influence it.
The aim of the study was to explore the impact of patient safety culture on nurses' negative work outcomes resulting from patient safety incidents, as well as the mediating roles of second victim support and distress.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted. The participants included 208 nurses, each with over a year of clinical experience, working in hospitals across South Korea.
Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires on general characteristics, patient safety culture, second victim support and distress, and negative work outcomes. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, the Scheffé test, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Additionally, model 6 of Hayes' PROCESS macro and the Sobel test were employed to determine the mediating effect.
Mediation analysis revealed significant indirect effects of patient safety culture on the work outcomes experienced by nurses following patient safety incidents, mediated by second victim distress, after controlling for participants' marital status, position, and the severity of patient safety incidents.
This study demonstrates that in healthcare settings, patient safety culture that supports the second victim and alleviates second victim distress mitigates the negative work outcomes resulting from patient safety incidents. The findings highlight the significance of culturally sensitive support systems, particularly considering the diverse impacts on Korean nurses. Based on this study, healthcare leaders are recommended to develop strategies to support nurses and reduce their second victim distress, which can ultimately improve patient safety and the quality of nursing care.
The findings of this study can be used to develop strategies to support second victims in addressing their distress. Taking steps to alleviate the distress of second victims will help prevent negative work outcomes in nurses.
To determine the correlation between preoperative health education and the emotions of lung cancer patients, artificial intelligence software was used.
This was a cross-sectional study.
This study included 210 lung cancer patients from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and examined the impact of health education on patient emotions using an AI-based emotion analysis tool.
This study indicated a significant relationship between the tone and emotional content of health education materials and patient emotions. Specifically, educational materials with an explanatory tone and negative sentiment appeared to impact patients' emotional states.
Quality improvements in health education can potentially benefit lung cancer patients' emotional well-being by minimizing the use of both explanatory tone and negative sentiment in educational content.
This research suggests that the careful crafting of health education materials, taking into consideration tone and emotional expressions, can have a tangible positive effect on the emotional state of lung cancer patients.
The study was reported in accordance with the STROBE guidelines.
No patients, service users, caregivers, or members of the public were involved in the design, conduct, collection, analysis, or interpretation of the data for this study, nor were they involved in writing the manuscript.
Nurses' job satisfaction in hospitals is fundamental for the quality of care and the safety of patients. However, sociodemographic trends require moving care to patients' homes, and the predictors of job satisfaction for nurses working in the home care settings remain largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate job satisfaction of nurses working in Italian home care settings and its determinants.
Multicenter observational cross-sectional study.
This study was conducted in the districts of 70 local health authorities in Italy. Data on the characteristics of the organization and nurses were collected. Nursing job satisfaction was evaluated on a four-point scale ranging from “very satisfied” to “very dissatisfied.” Additionally, the following variables were assessed: workload, quality of leadership, work–private life conflict, burnout symptoms, possibility for development, staffing and resource adequacy, nurse manager ability, safety climate, and teamwork climate. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing job satisfaction.
Only organizational variables had a predictive value for nurses' job satisfaction. Workload (OR = 1.01; p = 0.033), work–private life conflict (OR = 1.02; p < 0.001), burnout (OR = 1.02; p < 0.001), and staffing inadequacy (OR = 1.44; p = 0.003) predicted higher levels of nurse dissatisfaction. Instead, high-quality leadership (OR = 0.981; p < 0.001), possibility for development (OR = 0.973; p < 0.001), and good teamwork climate (OR = 0.994; p = 0.003) were predictors of better levels of satisfaction.
This study suggested that home care nurses are generally satisfied with their jobs. To enhance job satisfaction, it is essential to improve nurses' work environment, the leadership quality and ensure professional development.
Our results are globally relevant as they contribute to the limited evidence available on this topic in home care settings. This study emphasizes the need of measuring nurses' job satisfaction and implementing interventions to promote healthy work environments.
