Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between Hungarian nursing students' career choices and nursing professionalism in the context of sex and gender roles. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The study, conducted between March 2023 and June 2023, employed a combination of a self-developed questionnaire and validated measurement instruments (Bem Sex Role Inventory 12 - BSRI-12; Nurse Professional Competence Scale - NPC Scale; 10-item Gender Role Beliefs Scale - GRBS). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. The sample consisted of 252 BSc nursing students in Hungary (53 males, 199 females). Results: It was found that most students surveyed exhibited feminine traits (n = 84) and adhered to traditional gender roles (n = 132). Statistical analysis demonstrated significant associations between nursing students' gender roles (p = 0.004), adherence to traditional gender roles (p < 0.000), and levels of nursing professionalism. Notably, an androgynous gender role correlated with heightened nursing professionalism (p < 0.001). Additionally, career choice motivations were influenced by sex, gender role, and individual perceptions of gender roles. Conclusion: A diversity of gender roles which influence individuals' future careers in nursing was identified. Different motivating factors play a role in male and female nursing students' career choices, knowledge of which would be useful in student recruitment in order to reduce nursing staff shortages.
Aim: To measure the level of emotional intelligence in medical-surgical nursing specialist nurses. Design: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: Data were collected through a digital form comprising a questionnaire divided into two sections: first - sociodemographic and professional characterization; second - a Portuguese version of the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale. The internal consistency of the instrument, measured by Cronbach's alpha (unidimensional), was 0.878. Data were collected between 27 January and 16 March 2023. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to enroll the participants. Results: The final sample consisted of 168 medical-surgical nursing specialist nurses. Their mean emotional intelligence score was 105.28 points, with a standard deviation of 10.56 points. The variables academic degree (p = 0.002) and gender (p = 0.035) showed a statistically significant association with the total emotional intelligence score. Conclusion: This study allowed to measure the level of emotional intelligence in medical-surgical nursing specialist nurses, yielding high mean scores. Nevertheless, it is essential to invest in strategies for the acquisition of emotional intelligence skills by professionals with low mean scores.
Aim: Patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are challenged with managing the medical, social, and emotional consequences of the disease. Self-management of the disease plays a major role in actively preventing a deterioration such as an acute exacerbation (AECOPD). The aim of this study was to explore patients' perspectives on self-management, for both participants who received a complex multicomponent behavior-focused intervention (e.g., physical activity) after hospitalization (intervention group) and participants who did not (control group). Design: A qualitative descriptive study design was used. Methods: Semi-structured one-to-one interviews were conducted (n = 10). A newly implemented counselling program conducted by an Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) care team was introduced as part of the study. Participants in the control group received standard treatment for hospitalized AECOPD, while the intervention group received counselling focused on patient self-management from the ANP care team over a 13-week period. Control and intervention group narratives were compared using framework analysis. Results: The predominant four topics in both groups were deducted from Lorig's conceptualization of self-management. These were: the management of burdensome emotions, the management of life roles, the management of medical regimen and recommendations, and the perception of self-management needs. The participants in the intervention group reported that counselling by the ANP team helped motivate them to sustain physical activity. They also found it reassuring to have a contact person they could easily reach out to in case of any queries or uncertainties, which provided them with a sense of security. Conclusion: There is a need for support in several areas of self-management after hospitalization for AECOPD. The newly introduced nurse-led self-management support was immediately well-received. Indeed, all participants appreciated the contact with their respective health professionals.

Aim: Individual experiences shape perceptions of illness. Post-Soviet migrants have different expectations of chronic disease treatment than German patients. This study aimed to delve into perceptions of diabetes mellitus, a topic of increasing importance in global migration. Design: Qualitative, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 post-Soviet migrants with diabetes and three Russian-speaking diabetes counselors, mainly recruited through a snowball system. Methods: The research data were analyzed using a hermeneutic approach. The categories of the common-sense self-regulation model and developed subcategories were scrutinized by means of content analysis, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the data. Results: The perception of diabetes mellitus varied depending on the country where the diagnosis was made. This included the individual recording of symptoms, the expected time course, and the allocation of different competencies. Opportunities for access to the local healthcare system in the former Soviet Union influenced these expectations. Conclusion: The study's findings underscore the importance of healthcare access in the country of origin and the patient's knowledge of diabetes mellitus in shaping their perception and treatment. These factors, influenced by the social environment and the patient's level of education, continue to play a role even after immigration to Germany.

Aim: The present research aimed to provide a systematic analysis of the work ability (WA) of nurses assessed through the Work Ability Index (WAI) with a focus on factors influencing WA in the studied population. Design: A systematic literature review. Methods: In January 2024, a literature search was performed using Medline / PubMed and ScienceDirect databases, in order to identify studies focused on assessment of WA with the WAI among nurses. Databases were searched using 'work ability index' and 'nurse' as key terms. Articles were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. Results: Three hundred twenty-two studies were identified in the initial search (230 studies indexed by Medline / PubMed and 92 by ScienceDirect). After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 16 studies were included in the systematic review. The results revealed common factors that affect WA among nurses. These factors are grouped as follows: age, gender, marital status, education, years of work, shift work, and diagnosed diseases. Conclusion: Assessing the WA of nurses with the WAI provides a comprehensive and structured approach to understanding their capacity to meet the demands of their profession while considering various dimensions of health and work-related factors.

Aim: To explore the link between nurse professional competence and various educational components within nursing education based on empirical evidence. Design: A scoping review. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from 1999 to 2024 using the Academic Search Premier, Business Source Complete, CINAHL, Education Research Complete, ERIC, and PubMed databases. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Thirty relevant studies met the inclusion criteria. The identified competencies were grouped into three main categories: management, nursing intervention, and societal and social competencies. Educational components were divided into two main categories: directive-regulated curricula and optional educational components. Most nurse competencies were linked to one or more educational components. Conclusion: This review found that competencies such as patient care initiation, interprofessional teamwork and nurse leadership received more research attention than others. The most frequently studied educational components were study modules / training in nursing curricula and clinical placements. However, no clear link was found between nurse competence and educational components for graduate nurses.
Aim: The aim of the research was to find significant factors that influence womenʼs satisfaction with childbirth. Design: A cross-sectional study design was chosen. Methods: The Czech version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale - Revised, supplemented with demographic questions and questions related to the process of childbirth, was used for data collection. The online questionnaire was completed by 870 women who met the inclusion criteria for the study. Results: Several statistically significant results were found: womenʼs satisfaction with childbirth increases with increasing age (p < 0.05), secondary / multipara women are more satisfied with the experience of childbirth than primipara women (p < 0.05), and the experience of spontaneous vaginal birth leads to higher satisfaction than operative birth (p < 0.05). The term of delivery, place, and perception of pain during delivery also influence womenʼs satisfaction with birth (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The midwifeʼs duty in caring for the woman is not only to ensure safety but also to promote the emergence of a positive and satisfying experience. Situations such as acute operative delivery or preterm birth are unavoidable in obstetrics. However, respectful care and emotional support provided during labor can develop womenʼs ability to perceive control over the situation, cope with labor pain and prevent negative experiences.
Aim: Stress negatively affects studentsʼ health, self-esteem, and clinical performance. Although stress has been analyzed on a long-term basis and many clinical stressors are known, some of the factors potentially triggering stress have not been adequately studied, and the results are not consistent. Our research focused on an assessment of the stress intensity that nursing and midwifery students experience and the impact of ward type, difficulty in providing nursing care, and previous experience on perceptions of stress. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The study sample (n = 258) consisted of 65.5% nursing and 34.5% midwifery students who had completed their clinical training in basal pediatric (36.5%), surgical (27.5%), and medical (36.0%) wards. We analyzed stress intensity (0-10), perception of the difficulty in providing nursing care from the studentʼs perspective (0-10), and their previous experience. Results: Across the entire group of students, the stress intensity was 3.84 (SD = 2.71). Students providing care in pediatric wards (M = 4.72) experienced the highest stress intensity, especially when compared to students in medical wards (M = 2.69), (p < 0.001). The provision of care is most demanding in pediatric wards (M = 4.91) compared to surgical (M = 2.97) and medical wards (M = 3.08), (p < 0.001). Difficulty in providing care is significantly associated with stress intensity (r = 0.548). Previous clinical experience reduces the perception of stress. However, we found a significant decrease only in surgical and medical wards. Conclusion: To reduce the perception of stress in pediatric wards, attention needs to be paid to the quality of pre-clinical training focused on pediatric patient care. At the same time, it is important to increase the effectiveness of clinical education in pediatric wards.
