“…Nevertheless, some scholars revealed that despite the dominant negative impacts of COVID-19, more positive behaviour and emotions gradually emerged as nurses adopted self-coping and self-reflection strategies that were fundamental to maintaining their mental health (Sun et al, 2020). Owing to the paradoxical nature of "extreme work", human resources management scholars have emphasised the importance of examining the consequences of the pandemic on various levels: micro-individual, meso-organisational and macro-societal, to fully capture its perceived effects of COVID-19 on nurses (Cui et al, 2022;Sun and Hennekam, 2021).…”

“…Given the heroism of nurses and the value of their profession (Li et al , 2021; Malinowska-Lipien et al , 2021a, 2021b), scholars have emphasised the importance of embracing a contextually sensitive and multi-dimensional approach in examining the perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health-care workers (Cui et al , 2022). Moreover, there is scant research on career commitment in the health-care sector (Hao et al , 2013; Yousaf et al , 2013), and a dearth of studies examining extreme jobs and contexts resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak (Hannah et al , 2019; Grima et al , 2020; Cai et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aim to analyse the motives behind the commitment of nurses to their profession despite their intense job duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The empirical sample comprises of 35 semi-structured interviews with public sector hospital nurses in under-researched contexts of Egypt and Peru. Findings Three types of motives were found to play a critical role in nurses’ commitment to their profession despite the difficulties associated with extreme work conditions. These factors include cultural (religious values, governmental coercion), contextual (limited education, organisational support) and personal (good nurse identity, submissive nature) dimensions. Originality/value This paper is one of the pioneering works to link existing literature streams on career commitment, extreme jobs, extreme context and management under disruptions (particularly COVID-19) by analysing these aspects in the under-researched Peruvian and Egyptian contexts.

Background Quantifying the professional ethical challenges that nurses encounter is crucial for both theoretical insights and practical outcomes. The objective of this research is to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese adaptation of the Moral Distress Scale for Healthcare Professionals (MD-APPS). Methods In 2024, a survey approach was utilized to engage with several tertiary-level healthcare institutions throughout China. A cohort of 448 nursing professionals who satisfied the specified selection benchmarks was consequently incorporated into the study. To evaluate the scale's reliability and validity, methods including the Content Validity Index (CVI), Factor Analysis—both Exploratory (EFA) and Confirmatory (CFA)—alongside assessments of internal consistency and test-retest reliability were employed. Results Expert evaluations yielded an I-CVI of 0.90, suggesting good content validity for the MD-APPS's Chinese adaptation. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed a bi-dimensional framework with 7 components, explaining 56.34% of the cumulative variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) outcomes displayed a χ-square/df ratio of 1.542. The estimate for Robust RMSEA was 0.054, and the SRMR was ascertained to be 0.041. Indices for both Robust TLI and Robust CFI surpassed the 0.9 threshold, indicating an acceptable fit; this aspect was supported by a P -value (Chi-square) of 0.094. The internal consistency, measured by Cronbach's α, was found to be 0.74, while the test-retest reliability over a two-week period reached 0.964. These findings provide initial evidence for the psychometric properties of the Chinese MD-APPS. Conclusion The Chinese adaptation of the MD-APPS demonstrates promising initial psychometric properties, suggesting its potential suitability for exploring nurses' professional ethical challenges within the Chinese cultural context. This scale may facilitate the identification of diverse elements influencing nurses' professional ethics and the assessment of the ethical climate in nursing practices. However, further validation studies are needed to fully establish its psychometric robustness across various healthcare settings in China.
