Aim To explore associations between nurses' sense of professional self‐actualization, nursing work environment and their involvement in promotion and marketing of the nursing profession. Design A descriptive cross‐sectional study. Methods 144 nurses from various clinical fields completed a promotion and marketing activity questionnaire, selected items from the Brief Index of Self‐Actualization and a part of the Revised Nursing Work Index. Results Nurses' perception of their work environment and holding a master's degree in nursing were associated with their involvement in promotion activities [ R 2 = 0.27, F (4, 113) = 10.4, p < .001]. Nurses' perception of their work environment was associated with their sense of professional self‐actualization [ R 2 = 0.21, F (2, 121) = 16.5, p < .001]. Nurses' sense of professional self‐actualization did not contribute to the explanation of variance in their involvement in promotion of the nursing profession.

HIV testing of pregnant women is considered to be one of the key strategies for preventing mother-to-child-transmission of HIV, but HIV testing rates among pregnant women in various countries remain suboptimal. Understanding the factors relating to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy is critical for developing strategies to increase HIV testing rates among pregnant women. Extensive research points to various factors relating to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy, and various recommendations aimed at improving testing rates among pregnant women have been suggested based on the research. In light of the goals set by the United Nations to reduce the rate of infants infected with HIV, it is necessary to summarize what is currently known regarding factors related to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy. The purpose of this review is therefore to examine factors related to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy, and to summarize recommendations for practice and further research. Core tip: The willingness of women to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) during pregnancy is a complex phenomenon. There is frequent inconsistence in research results; however, studies have shown that certain major factors are steadily identified over time as associated with the phenomenon. Numerous factors related to pregnant women's willingness to be tested suggest multiple possible interventions to maximize HIV testing efficiency and increase testing rates. There is a need in further research of the phenomenon, as the majority of the research literature focuses on sub-Saharan Africa.Women's willingness to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus during pregnancy: A review Ben-Natan M, Hazanov Y.
