Design Scoping review guided by Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Methods A narrative synthesis, framed by the Haddon Matrix, categorised post‐violence strategies by focus on staff (victims), aggressors (vectors), or the physical/social environment. Data Sources Six databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Health Management Information Consortium) and Google Scholar were searched in January 2024.

目的绘制全球医院环境中工作场所暴力事件后策略的证据,定义当前的文献空白,并为未来的研究提供方向。设计范围审查由乔安娜布里格斯研究所的方法指导。方法以Haddon矩阵为框架,通过对工作人员(受害者)、攻击者(载体)或物理/社会环境的关注,对暴力后策略进行叙事综合。检索时间为2024年1月,检索了MEDLINE、Embase、Web of Science、CINAHL、PsycINFO、Health Management Information Consortium等6个数据库和谷歌Scholar。结果共纳入27篇文章。解决暴力后战略:(1)通过汇报和心理、临床和程序援助为工作人员提供支持;(2)对施暴者进行行为管理、个性化计划、预警和问责措施;(3)通过事件调查、反馈过程和综合监测来实现系统级响应。这些战略通常被纳入更大的多组成部分的工作场所暴力规划,对其具体影响的分类有限。结论三级预防工作场所暴力的证据基础仍然缺乏。本综述中的大多数文章将成功等同于减少暴力,反映了传统的(安全- I)侧重于降低风险,而对更广泛的结果(如员工对安全或工作相关影响的看法)关注有限。这突出表明,需要更明确地关注预期这种干预能够产生变化的机制,从而为完善理论和实践提供机会。对职业和/或患者护理的影响暴力后时期是减轻事件连锁反应的关键时刻。由于一线员工往往是干预措施的主要“接受者”,未来的研究和服务改进举措应更密切地关注与员工经验相关的结果。纳入强调复原力和适应性绩效的安全II视角,可使医院在暴力事件发生后加强持续的业务能力,并有助于纠正导致暴力事件再次发生的条件。报告方法PRISMA‐ScR。患者或公众贡献无。

Aims This qualitative meta‐synthesis (QMS) aimed to develop a theoretical framework to contextualise the COVID‐19 vaccine decision‐making processes among rural U.S. individuals, describing complex cognitive, social, and structural influences. Design Qualitative meta‐synthesis utilising thematic synthesis and diagramming methods. Data Sources Searches conducted across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and grey literature databases between January 2020 and September 2024 identified relevant qualitative and mixed‐methods studies. Review Methods Studies were screened against inclusion criteria: qualitative or mixed‐methods design, U.S. rural adult populations, COVID‐19 vaccine focus, and publication after January 2020. Twenty‐one studies were selected, data extracted, coded, and analysed thematically to create a conceptual model. Quality appraisal was performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist. Results Analysis yielded seven interrelated themes—Information, Beliefs, Trust, Feelings, Institutional, Community, and Culture—with 24 subthemes, highlighting dynamic interactions influencing vaccine decisions. Central factors included communication quality, media influence, institutional trust, social relationships, and cultural values. Decisions were temporal, iterative, and sensitive to evolving information and trust dynamics. Rural‐specific barriers such as limited health literacy, systemic inequities, geographic isolation, and misinformation significantly shaped vaccine decisions. Conclusion This qualitative meta‐synthesis provides a nuanced, rural‐contextualised theoretical framework emphasising the interplay between information, trust, and social determinants in COVID‐19 vaccine decision‐making. Vaccine decisions among rural populations are embedded in complex sociocultural and structural contexts, evolving temporally with shifting trust and information landscapes. Impact The developed framework offers actionable insights to inform tailored public health interventions and policy strategies targeting vaccine hesitancy. Enhancing health literacy, leveraging trusted local communicators, ensuring transparency, and addressing structural inequities can effectively improve vaccine uptake and promote equitable health outcomes in rural communities. Patient or Public Contribution The synthesis incorporates perspectives directly from rural community members, reflecting their lived experiences and contextual realities in vaccine decision‐making processes.

Aim To evaluate nurses' perspectives on factors influencing the acceptability and practicality of comfort rounding, focussing on personalised nutritional and mobility care. Design Mixed‐methods feasibility study. Methods Focus group interviews with nurses were conducted before, during and at the end of the implementation period (2022–2023). A questionnaire assessed acceptability and practicality among nurses at the end of the implementation. Data were analysed using directed content analyses and descriptive statistics. Results Comfort rounding's acceptability and practicality were influenced by nurses' attitudes, knowledge and skills, patient characteristics and the nurse–patient relationship. Barriers included workload, time pressure, team culture and the extensive, rigid design of comfort rounding. Questionnaire responses demonstrated nurses perceived added value of comfort rounding and frequently engaged patients in activities related to nutrition and mobility. However, it was not performed as originally intended. Conclusion Nurses considered personalised nutritional and mobility care important and frequently provided it during ‘usual care’. However, nurses were critical of comfort rounding's acceptability and practicality and did not perform it as intended. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care Comfort rounding's concept does not align well with current nursing practice. Greater tailoring to nurses' preferences or alternative approaches to structuring personalised nutritional and mobility care are recommended. Impact <jats:italic>What problem did the study address:</jats:italic> Hospitalised patients often receive suboptimal nutritional care and are largely inactive.

Aim To investigate the level of humanistic care ability of oncology nurses, its association with empathy and emotional intelligence, and the mediative role of emotional intelligence on empathy and humanistic caring ability. Design This was a cross‐sectional study conducted in a cancer hospital in China. Methods We enrolled a total of 1189 oncology nurses from several cancer hospitals from December 2023 to January 2024. All participants completed three general questionnaires: the Caring Ability Inventory, the Jefferson Scale of Empathy‐Health Professionals and the Emotional Intelligence Scale. Results The overall scores for the three scales were 202.35 ± 23.89, 112.38 ± 18.85 and 137.49 ± 17.81, respectively. A positive correlation was detected between caring ability, empathy and emotional intelligence ( r = 0.741, p < 0.001; r = 0.577, p < 0.001). And emotional intelligence mediates the association between empathy and caring ability in oncology nurses (0.233, p < 0.001). The total and direct effect were also significant (0.825, p < 0.001; 0.592, p < 0.001). Conclusion The study findings indicated that oncology nurses exhibit a moderate level of caring ability. Emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between empathy and caring ability, at least in part. Therefore, an increase in the level of emotional intelligence in oncology nurses could improve their caring ability. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care When designing training to improve humanistic care, we recommend the integration of specific training relating to empathy and emotional intelligence into the training system. Impact Oncology patients experience multiple forms of distress and require high‐quality humanistic care. This study identified a moderate association between empathy and emotional intelligence. Our findings provide further recommendations for nurse leaders in medical institutions relating to how the humanistic care ability of oncology nurses can be improved by specific training in empathy and emotional intelligence. Reporting Method This study was reported using the STROBE Checklist for cross‐sectional studies. Patient or Public Contribution Nurse leaders organised this survey in their own hospital.
目的探讨肿瘤护士人文关怀能力水平及其与共情和情绪智力的关系,以及情绪智力对共情和人文关怀能力的中介作用。设计本研究是在中国一家肿瘤医院进行的横断面研究。方法从2023年12月至2024年1月,共招募了来自多家肿瘤医院的1189名肿瘤科护士。所有的参与者都完成了三份一般性问卷:关爱能力量表、杰弗逊共情-健康专业人员量表和情绪智力量表。结果3个量表的总分分别为202.35±23.89、112.38±18.85和137.49±17.81。关怀能力、共情与情绪智力呈正相关(r = 0.741, p < 0.001; r = 0.577, p < 0.001)。情绪智力在肿瘤护士共情与关怀能力之间起中介作用(0.233,p < 0.001)。总效应和直接效应也显著(0.825,p < 0.001; 0.592, p < 0.001)。结论肿瘤护士的护理能力处于中等水平。情商至少在一定程度上调解了同理心和关怀能力之间的关系。因此,提高肿瘤护士的情绪智力水平可以提高其护理能力。在设计培训以改善人文关怀时,我们建议将移情和情商相关的特定培训整合到培训系统中。肿瘤患者经历多种形式的痛苦,需要高质量的人文关怀。这项研究确定了同理心和情商之间的适度联系。我们的研究结果为医疗机构的护士领导提供了进一步的建议,即如何通过移情和情商的具体培训来提高肿瘤护士的人文关怀能力。报告方法:本研究采用STROBE检查表进行横断面研究。是次调查由所属医院的护士领导组织。
