The image of nursing: A glimpse of the Internet
ConclusionsWhile most of the nursing images were relatively professional‐looking, the nurses were portrayed only as engaging in comforting patients and recording data. Nurses who were engaged in clinical tasks or scientific activities, such as research, were absent in the portrayals. A plan needs to be developed to accurately and comprehensively represent the nursing profession on the Internet. (Source: Japan Journal of Nursing Science)

Occupational commitment and job satisfaction mediate effort–reward imbalance and the intention to continue nursing
ConclusionThe findings suggest that it is important to increase job satisfaction and affective and normative occupational commitment in order to enhance their buffering effects on the relationship between job stress and the intention to continue nursing. Measures to increase continuance occupational commitment also would be an effective method of strengthening the intention to continue nursing. Improvements in these areas should contribute to an increase in nurses’ intention to continue nursing and prevent the loss of this precious human resource from the health sector.

Japanese nurses' perception of their preparedness for disasters: Quantitative survey research on one prefecture in Japan
ConclusionThe amount of information nurses need to know on the knowledge, skills, and preparation of disasters are in great need. Such skills are understood, but lacking for various reasons. In‐house programs for nurses to learn more about disaster nursing are needed. Furthermore, a curriculum for disaster preparedness for undergraduate and graduate nursing programs would also help these future nurses gain more information earlier on to better prepare them for possible disaster situations in their future careers.
