The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III01:16

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III

Nurse-to-nurse relationships are legally required to adhere to professional standards, ensuring a respectful and positive working environment. Professional conduct demands that nurses treat all colleagues respectfully and courteously, fostering a productive, supportive workplace.

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information.

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels.

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Work engagement is vital for nurse motivation, retention, and patient care quality.
  • Understanding the link between organizational resources and nurse engagement is crucial.
  • The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model provides a framework for this investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between work capital (WC) and work engagement (WE) in nurses.
  • To investigate the mediating role of decent work (DW) in the WC-WE relationship.
  • To extend the JD-R model by incorporating decent work as a mediating mechanism.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey of 535 nurses in Zhejiang Province, China.
  • Utilized standardized instruments to measure Work Capital, Decent Work, and Work Engagement.
  • Employed confirmatory factor analysis and mediation analysis (PROCESS Model 4) for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Work Capital positively correlated with both decent work (B=0.74) and work engagement (B=0.19).
  • Decent Work showed a strong positive association with work engagement (B=0.85).
  • Mediation analysis confirmed a significant indirect effect of WC on WE through DW (indirect effect=0.67), explaining 76.1% of the total association.

Conclusions:

  • Decent work significantly mediates the relationship between work capital and work engagement in nurses.
  • Findings underscore the importance of both resource availability and perceived work quality for nursing engagement.
  • Interventions should consider enhancing decent work to boost nurse engagement and retention.
