“…Liking the nursing profession is an essential element of nursing profession commitment. This enables students to have a more stable and lasting psychological tendency to continue in the nursing profession, be more inclined to engage in spiritual care activities, and provide better healthcare (Chang et al, 2021 ). This result suggests that nursing schools should provide adequate information to help students understand the nursing profession in‐depth before choosing it as their major and improve their career interest.…”

Aims This study aimed to assess student nurses' competence and attitude toward spiritual care and analysed the associated factors. Design Cross‐sectional study using an online survey. Methods From April 14 to June 14, 2018, a convenience sample of 938 student nurses were recruited from six schools of Nursing in Hunan Province, China. Data were collected by using the Chinese versions of the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (C‐SCCS) and the Spiritual Care Attitude Scale (C‐SCAS). Results The average total score on the C‐SCCS was 21.42 (±4.27) out of 30 and the C‐SCAS was 58.03 (±9.90) out of 75. Factors such as liking the nursing profession, attending a spiritual care course, participation in classroom learning or expert lecture, and supporting continuous and systematic training were the strongest predictors of higher spiritual care competence and attitude. A better attitude about spiritual care was a relatively moderate and significant predictor of higher spiritual care competence.

“…Defined as a negative experience characterized by spending a lot of time and effort on work activities while neglecting other spheres of life, workaholism underlies the compulsion or uncontrollable urge to work which exudes a real obsession with work (Schaufeli et al, 2009). Nurses can experience high levels of workaholism as they have to deal with excessive job demands (Gillet et al, 2020a;Teng et al, 2010) and are highly committed to their profession (Chang et al, , 2021. Huyghebaert et al (2018a) also showed that workaholics experienced greater WFC.…”

Aims and objectives: While research suggests that nurses who experience work-family conflicts (WFC) are less satisfied and perform less well, these negative outcomes may be more important for some nurses. This study proposes a mediated moderation model wherein the interaction between two individual characteristics, workaholism and presenteeism, relates to family life satisfaction and work performance with WFC mediating these relationships. Background: Because a limited number of nursing studies have examined the potential outcomes of workaholism and presenteeism, we extend past research to address the question of how workaholism and presenteeism affect nurses' functioning. Design: We used a cross-sectional questionnaire survey design to test our hypotheses. STROBE guidelines for cross-sectional research were followed in designing and reporting this study. Methods: A total of 419 nurses completed measures of workaholism, presenteeism, WFC, family life satisfaction, and work performance. Results: Results revealed that the relationships between workaholism and outcomes (family life satisfaction and work performance) through WFC were stronger among nurses characterized by high levels of presenteeism. Conclusions: These results revealed that high presenteeism may exacerbate the negative relationships of workaholism to family life satisfaction and work performance through WFC. Relevance to clinical practice: Healthcare organizations and managers should consider addressing work environment factors in their efforts to reduce the negative outcomes (e.g., low family satisfaction and work performance) of nurses' workaholism, presenteeism, and WFC.

“…As can be seen in the NUMs' experiences, not only do they exhibit loyalty to the profession, but they attempt to inculcate that in their interactions with their team through role modeling and setting an example. This is encouraging as prior research found links between nurses' professional commitment and the motivation of teams (Galletta et al, 2019), an intention to improve and upgrade professional competence and capability (Chang et al, 2021), job satisfaction (Carcati et al, 2014), and patient care (Teng et al, 2019). The focus of the NUMs on the provision of quality healthcare and ensuring professional care of critical care patients is a central element of a relational type of psychological contract (Jones & Sambrook, 2010).…”

Introduction Little is written about the management of psychological contracts by nurse unit managers (NUMs) in critical care settings and how this perspective contributes to the performance, experiences, and views of nurses and nursing teams. Psychological contracts are important regulators of the employer–employee relationship, with managers (NUMs) being the embodiment of the employer in managing the contract. Objectives This qualitative study answers a call for research on the NUM perspective of the psychological contract given the role they play in the wellbeing of critical care nurses and quality of care provided. The study aims to understand the expectations and obligations that constitute the psychological contract NUMs have with their nursing teams, the nature of the contract, and how NUMs practically manage these aspects on their teams. Methods Using an interpretive qualitative research design and a purposive sampling technique, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 of the 14 NUMs from a public health facility about critical incidents relating to their obligations and expectations of managing critical care nurses. Results A thematic analysis of their responses revealed five main themes that represent the contents of their psychological contracts with critical care nurses: professional commitment and obligation; leading by example; trust and support; teamwork; and on-the-job training and further development. In their discussion of these components, the NUMs also revealed how they manage the psychological contract with nurses. Conclusion Based on the expectations and obligations NUMs hold with their staff, their psychological contracts were found to be largely relational, with elements of the balanced type, suggesting that they rely on interpersonal connection and coordination, as well as knowledge dissemination, to uphold the contract. This contract appears to be effective in inculcating the commitment of nurses to their profession and professional standards through the building of trust and offering of support. However, recommendations are offered to ensure NUMs are best prepared to sustain these psychological contracts and continue to support nurse wellbeing and related patient care.
