Association between demographics and resilience – a cross‐sectional study among nurses in Singapore
ConclusionThe experience of life events (as exemplified by marital status, age and working experience) was associated with higher resilience levels.
Implications for nursing policyThere is a need for healthcare organizations and nurse leaders to develop programmes focusing on building resilience among younger and less experienced nurses. Nurses should also be supported in their pursuits for higher education, which will in turn lead to higher resilience, and consequently, retention of nurses within the profession and institution.

The level of collaboration amongst nurses in Turkey
ConclusionsRegarding the results obtained in the study, although the Turkish nurses were collaborating at the minimum expected level, they can collaborate more. Improved collaboration between nurses will increase patient satisfaction and thus will have a favourable impact on patient safety.
Implications for nursing policy and health policyNurses who have a bachelor's or higher level degree should be hired, and nurses should be provided with job security in the form of a continuous employment contract to enhance nurse–nurse collaboration. (Source: International Nursing Review)

The educational preparation of nurses in a developing economy and patient mortality
BackgroundMost studies have reported that higher levels (baccalaureate degree) of educational attainment by nurses are associated with lower levels of patient mortality. Researchers working in developed economies (e.g. North America and Europe) have almost exclusively conducted these studies. The value of baccalaureate nurse education has not been tested in countries with a developing economy.
MethodA retrospective observational study conducted in seven hospitals. Patient mortality was the main outcome of interest. Anonymized data were extracted from nurses and patients from two different administrative sources and linked ...

Closing the gap in Indigenous health inequity – Is it making a difference?
ConclusionLong‐term social change takes time, yet without the commitment of Australian Governments through effective policy and economic support, the inequity in the health of Indigenous people will continue both now and in the future.
Implications for health and social policyNurses, as the largest health professional group, are uniquely placed to support and implement social change at all levels of health care (primary, secondary and tertiary) and to lobby government to amend policy alongside those who are disempowered.
Implications for nursing practiceHealth promotion and education programmes that are led by nurses can...

Child neglect and abuse: a global glimpse within the framework of evidence perspective
ConclusionsIt has been found that, in general, all types of negligence and abuse are studied together and that nurses lack the knowledge and skills needed to assess childhood neglect and abuse.
Implications for nursing and health policiesNurses have a critical role to play in identifying the dark spots and associated factors in the story of individuals because they are health professionals who are in close contact with patients. It is recommended that guidelines be developed and used in the diagnosis and treatment of abuse and neglect. Thus, in these cases, the standardization of care will be achieved.

Violence committed by intimate partners of physicians, nurses and nursing assistants
ConclusionMen experienced a lower incidence of intimate partner violence than women. In fact, 34% of the female participants were in an abusive relationship, which is a higher percentage than that observed in studies of the general Spanish female population (11.7%). It appears that being female and a nurse are risk factors for abuse.
Implications for nursing and health policyThese data suggest the urgent implementation of action plans for the provision of support for the victims and for interventions aimed at reducing the problem. Better training and awareness‐raising programmes that improve the detection of intimate par...

Identifying and prioritizing topics for evidence ‐based geriatric nursing practice guidelines in Korea
ConclusionsThe development of standardized guidelines based on these results may help improve the quality of geriatric care and quality of life of older individuals. The small number of respondents may be a limitation of this study, and further study is needed to expand the population.
Implications for nursing and health policyThe development of evidence‐based nursing guidelines based on the present findings will help improve the quality of nursing in long‐term care facilities. Additionally, health policies and systems, such as introduction of a fee for nursing services for older individuals based on the evidence, are ...
