“…Results showed that NGNs participating in a TTP program had fewer negative safety practices, and the turnover rate was significantly lower ( Spector et al, 2015 ). There is a continued need for more research to determine the most effective strategies for bridging the academia-practice gap to promote successful transition of NGNs ( Hampton et al, 2020 ; Kenny et al, 2021 ). Further, effective TTP programs are even more paramount now due to the ongoing nurse shortage which is being exacerbated by the pandemic because nurses have left their positions due to stress, work conditions, family responsibilities, higher salaries for travel nursing, etc.…”

“…The results of this study show that changes in the quality of life of new graduate nurses were negatively influenced by deterioration in their sleep quality. Although there are programs to support new graduate nurses and specialist nurses in the transition to practice, they mainly focus on confidence, competency, and knowledge of the work [ 15 , 61 ]. Despite the wide application of such programs, the high rate of resignations among new nurses is suggestive of the need for increased awareness among institutions.…”

Aim: To explore the effect of changes in sleep characteristics on changes in quality of life during the transition period of new graduate nurses. Background: Sleep problems among nurses are associated with negative physical and psychological consequences. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. Participants included 88 newly graduated nurses. Data were collected twice, prior to shift work and after 4 months of working as a nurse, via online structured self-report questionnaires created using Survey Monkey from March 2018 to February 2020. A generalized linear mixed model was used to analyze the influence of changes in sleep characteristics on quality of life. Results: A generalized linear mixed model showed that changes in the subjective quality of sleep, subjective health perception, and daytime dysfunction influenced quality of life changes during the transition. This implies that deterioration already existed. From their undergraduate period to four months after they began working as nurses, a significant decrease was observed in the quality of sleep. Participants’ quality of life significantly decreased. Conclusions: Changes in the quality of life of new graduate nurses may show deterioration with a significant drop in subjective sleep quality. Institutions should improve existing work adaptation programs provided during new graduate nurses’ transition to practice by including information on changes in nurses’ health caused by changes in sleep characteristics and sleep quality.

“…It is not known if this is more than what other groups of nurses may experience within the workplace. Furthermore, recent evidence does suggest that there is reduced availability of transition programs for newly qualified nurses in primary or community settings ( Aggar, Bloomfield, Thomas, & Gordon, 2017 ;Kenny et al, 2021 ). Further research needs to be conducted on workplace bullying and ward settings and culture, which might be seen as a contributing factor to newly qualified nurses' effective transition to practice.…”

Background: 'Horizontal violence' refers to hostile, aggressive, or harmful behaviour between peers. Nurse educators and managers who support newly qualified nurses should be aware of horizontal violence in the workplace when directed towards this professional group. The prevalence of horizontal violence in newly qualified nurses has not been subject to a systematic review. Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to estimate prevalence of horizontal violence in newly qualified nurses in their first year of practice. Methods: A systematic search was undertaken with the following databases on October 2018: AMED, CINAHL, CENTRAL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, ERIC and PsychINFO. An updated search was undertaken on August 12, 2020. Observational and experimental studies were included. Two researchers independently completed title, abstract and full-text screening. Nine studies were finally included in the review. Risk of bias was determined using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool. Findings.: Included studies were cross-sectional in design and horizontal violence was determined using nine different self-report measures. Reported rates of horizontal violence ranged from 7% to 73%. All included studies were rated as having a moderate risk of bias. Discussion: The broad range of prevalence estimates is likely explained by the use of different measures in included studies and the sources of bias. It is unclear if horizontal violence is common in nurses in their first year of practice. Further research that addresses the sources of bias we have identified is justified. Conclusion: There is considerable variation in prevalence estimates of horizontal violence in nurses in their first year of practice
