“…It not only affects the quality of care and work efficiency, but also may cause unpredictable harm to patients, individual and organizations. It is necessary for nursing managers to pay attention to psychological coherence from the perspective of the system, to formulate management systems and intervention measures suitable for the undergraduate room and the hospital, and to provide help for nurses who are under high pressure and lack professional identity [51,52]. For example, in terms of stress management, we can regularly provide psychological counseling services to nurses through special lectures, psychological counseling, etc.…”

Background Implicit absenteeism is very common among clinical nurses. We aimed to evaluate the role of psychological coherence in the inclusive leadership and implicit absenteeism among obstetrics and gynecology nurses, to provide evidence to the clinical management of nurses. Methods Through the convenience sampling method, a survey of gynecology nurses in tertiary hospitals in 16 cities of Anhui Province, China was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Stanford Implicit Absence Scale, the Inclusive Leadership Scale and the Sense of Coherence Scale. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20. Results A total of 1080 nurses were included with an effective response rate of 93.5%. The average score of nurses' recessive absenteeism in this study was (16.8 ± 0.15). The average of inclusive leadership score was (34.25 ± 7.23). The average score of psychological coherence score of obstetrics and gynecology nurses was (55.79 ± 8.28). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a relationship between implicit absenteeism behavior, inclusive leadership, and the level of psychological coherence in obstetrics and gynecology nurses (all P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis indicated that psychological coherence played a partial mediating role between inclusive leadership and obstetrics and gynecology nurses' implicit absenteeism (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Obstetrics and gynecology nurses have serious recessive absenteeism with low sense of psychological coherence and inclusive leadership. Nursing managers should improve the psychological coherence through effective interventions, thereby reducing the incidence of implicit absenteeism.

“…Therefore, as the level of compassion fatigue decreases, the slope value in the simple slope adjustment effect chart is also larger. Nurses with a high sense of coherence can correctly evaluate stress, think that the stimulation and stress they suffer are predictable and interpretable, adopt more adaptive strategies to cope with the emerging compassion fatigue by regulating stressful events, and effectively extract and mobilize existing resources to cope with compassion fatigue [4,18,41] . Since nurses with a high sense of coherence have a high level of professional identity, slight changes in the face of compassion fatigue may cause large uctuations in their professional identity level.…”

Background：With the continuous improvement of people's health needs, the public's requirements for medical care are also getting higher and higher. Work engagement is a positive psychological state related to the work. It is very important to maintain nurses' work engagement, however, due to many factors, the level of nurses' work engagement is not high and nursing managers should identify the influencing factors of work engagement, and take positive measures to fully improve nurses' work engagement. Objectives：To explore the influence of compassion fatigue, professional identity and sense of coherence on nurses' work engagement. Methods：From January 2022 to June 2022, convenience sampling was used to select clinical nurses from 9 tertiary hospitals in Henan Province of China as the research objects for a questionnaire survey. Statistical methods included descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and the PROCESS Macro Model 4 and 7 in regression analysis. Results：The results showed that compassion fatigue was significantly negatively correlated with sense of coherence, professional identity and work engagement (P＜0.01), professional identity was significantly positively correlated with sense of coherence and work engagement (P＜0.01), and there was a significant positive correlation between sense of coherence and work engagement (P＜0.01). Professional identity played a partial mediating role between compassion fatigue and work engagement, accounting for 46.40% of the total effect; meanwhile, sense of coherence moderated the effect of compassion fatigue on professional identity and formed a moderated mediation model. Conclusions：Compassion fatigue has a negative predictive effect on nurses' work engagement. Professional identity and sense of coherence further explained the relationship of compassion fatigue on compassion fatigue and work engagement through mediating and moderating effects.

“…Additionally, mindfulness meditation has been shown to positively impact stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, and well-being in nurses and nursing students [20]. In addition, previous studies have shown the effect of SOC on stress [21], the use of adaptive coping strategies by nurses with high SOC [22], and a positive correlation between SOC and quality of life [23]. These ndings suggest that mindfulness is negatively associated with stress response.…”

Background Nursing students experience high levels of stress. Previous studies on nursing students have explored the relationship between mindfulness and stress response, sense of coherence (SOC) and stress response, and mindfulness and SOC. However, whether SOC affects the relationship between mindfulness and stress response is yet to be explored. This study aimed to clarify how SOC affects the relationship between mindfulness and stress response in Japanese nursing students. The results of this study will be useful in considering appropriate mental health interventions for nursing students in the future. Methods An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, SOC Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale was conducted, which yielded 130 (74.7%) valid responses. Subsequently, a mediation analysis was performed with stress response as the dependent variable, mindfulness as the independent variable, and SOC as the mediator. Results Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to analyze the data and revealed a statistically significant correlation between mindfulness and SOC, mindfulness and stress response, and SOC and stress response. Mediation analysis showed that: the direct effect of mindfulness on stress responses was significant (β = − .40; p < .001). However, the direct effect of mindfulness on stress responses was not significant when SOC was included as a mediator. The bootstrap method was conducted, and the results revealed that the indirect effect of mindfulness on SOC-mediated stress responses was significant (β = − .38; 95% CI = − .47 to − .29, p = .01). Conclusions SOC mediated the relationship between mindfulness and stress responses. Improving SOC is necessary to reduce stress responses in nursing students. Additionally, mindfulness should be increased to improve SOC. Future studies should explore enhancing the nursing curricula with mindfulness and SOC training.
