The clarion call to observe World Health Day every year is a great initiative propelled by World Health Organization (WHO) and certainly is primarily aimed at creating immaculate awareness about holistic health and global well-being. 1 The first ever World Health Day was observed on the 7 April 1950. Ever since then, World Health Day is observed annually on 7 April which incidentally signifies the anniversary of the founding of WHO in the year 1948. 2 The theme for World Health Day 2022 has been planned that center around "Our Planet, Our Health." 3 HealtH a n d environment: tHe Global ConCernThe air that we breathe has become toxic. Most of us inhale unhealthy air that is largely attributed to the reckless burning of fossil fuels. Strangely enough and that despite the all-round progress visualized by the modern world, vector-borne diseases are flourishing. Global warming has taken a heavy toll. 4 To add to our misery, degradation of land and scarcity of water resources are happening unabated that certainly have afflicted general health. Our health has presently taken the back seat, despite the resources that we spend on the establishment and sustenance of the health care delivery system. 5 Consumption of junk food sans nutritive value has become the order of the day. Metabolic syndrome has become the forerunner of diabetes mellitus. Cancer and cardiovascular diseases have evolved as notoriously threatening non-communicable diseases. 6 Now, time has arrived for embarking on nodal and effective strategies to promote global health.

“…One strategy to address this crisis is to increase the proportion of male nurses (Kronsberg et al., 2018; Moore et al., 2020). An insufficient number of nurses is one of the greatest obstacles to society receiving adequate and quality healthcare services (Cipriano, 2022; Ghafoor et al., 2021; Rosser, 2022). For this reason, improving the perception of nursing (Glerean et al., 2017), male nurses (Lim et al., 2017), in addition to changing society's image of male nurses (Kronsberg et al., 2018), will contribute significantly to enabling the nursing workforce to reach a sufficient level and thus facilitate provions of quality health care to the public.…”

AimTo determine the effect of male nursing students’ voluntary activities on their image in society.BackgroundThe role of voluntary nursing services in enhancing the visibility of nursing in society can also contribute to enhancing the image of male nurses in society.MethodsThis study employed a one‐group, quasi‐experimental pre–post analysis design. It was carried out between September 2020 and June 2021 in the pedestrian zone, which is one of the main streets of Bartın in Turkey. Using a convenience sampling approach, tradesmen aged 18 and over operating in commercial enterprises (n = 81) were asked to participate in the study. Information form and Nursing Image Scale were used to collect the research data. Results from the paired sample t test were utilized to analyse the study's data using the intervention of ‘men nursing students' voluntary activities’.ResultsThe total Nursing Image Scale score of the participants was statistically considerably greater after the intervention than the pre‐intervention score. Based on the paired sample t test results, it was observed that the participants obtained higher scores after the intervention than before in the gender sub‐dimension as well as all other sub‐dimensions of the Nursing Image Scale, and these results were statistically significant.ConclusionAccording to the findings of the study, volunteering by male nursing students improved both the profession of nursing and the perception of men in nursing in society.Implications for nursing/health policyThis study suggested that male nursing students’ voluntary activities could be one of the strategies to overcome the nursing shortage due to its enhancing effect on the profession of nursing and the perception of men in nursing in society.

IntroductionSelf‐care is essential for nurses' wellbeing, with stress posing a major barrier. Research into self‐care is often absorbed into studies of burnout or resilience. Understanding lived experiences of influences on nurses' self‐care practices is essential. There is currently a paucity of literature on this topic.AimTo explore mental health nurses' views about what influences their ability to self‐care in relation to workplace stress and the impact on their practice and work environment.MethodsAn Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach was utilized. In‐depth interviews explored how nurses perceived the influence of environment and relationships on self‐care practices in the workplace.ResultsParticipants' perceptions and experiences are embodied by the theme: the nurse bombarded, comprising two subordinate themes—the nurse consumed by the intensity of work and therapeutic relationships; and feeling vulnerable from colleague relationships and feeling undervalued. Participants described conflict between workload demands and expectations and the desire to provide optimal care.ConclusionsStressful working environments pose major barriers to effective self‐care. Feeling bombarded and vulnerable, impacts nurses' lives personally and professionally.Implications for PracticeMental health nurses' self‐care is crucial for quality practice. Strategies to address relational, personal and environmental barriers to self‐care are therefore necessary.
