“…Here, job control and coworker support were not related to work engagement, which was inconsistent with previous findings on psychiatric nurses (Hontake & Ariyoshi, 2018 (Hasan & Tumah, 2019;Magnavita & Heponiemi, 2012), and how to cope with them has been an important issue for organizations and individuals. In this respect, our findings suggest that reward and supervisor support may work more effectively as facilitators of work engagement, especially in a demanding environment.…”

“…The results demonstrate that the positive impacts of reward and supervisor support on work engagement are strengthened when psychiatric nurses face the patients' unpleasant attitude towards nurses (i.e., when job demand is high). The patients' unpleasant attitudes are considered common phenomena in psychiatric hospitals (Hasan & Tumah, ; Magnavita & Heponiemi, ), and how to cope with them has been an important issue for organizations and individuals. In this respect, our findings suggest that reward and supervisor support may work more effectively as facilitators of work engagement, especially in a demanding environment.…”

“…Psychiatric hospitals face many tasks, including inpatient discharge promotion (Okumura, Sugiyama, Noda, & Tachimori, ), treatment of elderly patients with mental disorders (World Health Organization, ) and risk management during psychiatric patient care (Slemon, Jenkins, & Bungay, ), all of which necessitate better performance by mental health care providers in their work environment. Psychiatric nurses often experience stressful events due to psychiatric patients' mental symptoms and maladaptive behaviours, such as disturbed and unpredictable behaviour (Hasan & Tumah, ), unpleasant attitude towards nurses (Yada et al, ) and aggression (Fujimoto, Hirota, Kodama, Greiner, & Hashimoto, ). These situations characteristic of psychiatry can negatively influence psychiatric nurses' mental health and performance and consequently inactivate their workplace.…”

Aim To identify the factors influencing work engagement among psychiatric nurses. Background Work engagement is an essential outcome that promotes nurses' performance, but studies investigating its influencing factors remain limited in psychiatric settings. We hypothesized that job resources and personal resources positively predict psychiatric nurses' work engagement and have a particularly positive impact on engagement when job demand is high. Methods This cross‐sectional study included 425 Japanese psychiatric nurses. Data regarding demographics, job resources, personal resources (emotional intelligence), job demand (patients' attitude towards nurses) and work engagement were collected followed by data analysis using hierarchical multiple regression. Results Reward, supervisor support, nurse–physician collaboration, other‐emotion appraisal and use of emotions were positively related to work engagement. Patients' unpleasant attitude towards nurses boosted the association of reward and supervisor support with work engagement. Conclusions Certain job resources, empathic ability and self‐motivation ability may enhance work engagement. Furthermore, reward and supervisor support may be particularly useful when psychiatric nurses face patients' unpleasant attitude. Implications for Nursing Management For enhancing psychiatric nurses' work engagement, nursing leaders should educate nurses' skills related to empathy and self‐motivation, consider whether nurses are confronted with patients' unpleasant attitude, and improve the job resources.

“…En una investigación realizada con el equipo de enfermería en una clínica de Alemania, se encontraron correlaciones entre calidad del sueño y exceso de trabajo, notando que estaban con exceso de trabajo, así como la distribución desigual de la carga horaria (12) . Otro estudio observó que los enfermeros que realizan un gran número de tareas, además de las responsabilidades habituales de enfermería, tenían un aumento acelerado en el nivel de estrés, desencadenando depresión (13) .…”

“…Newly qualified nurses are vulnerable during the transition period and require opportunities to develop competence and confidence in their ability to practise independently (Cleary, Horsfall, Muthulakshmi, Happell, & Hunt, ). During the transition period, newly qualified nurses also form decisions about their intent to commit to their profession (Boamah & Laschinger, ) and may decide to change careers if they are struggling to adapt to a stressful work environment (Hasan & Tumah, ). This is a costly exercise for healthcare organizations that invest time and money into new graduates, only to have them leave nursing practise after a short period of time.…”

Accessible summary What is already known about the topic? Newly qualified nurses often feel overwhelmed by the challenges of the work environment and struggle to transition into healthcare work environments. Nurses require opportunities during the transition period to develop both competence and confidence in their ability to practise independently. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? Newly qualified mental health nurses experience fear during their adaptation period, especially when they perceive mental healthcare users as dangerous and the working environment as risky, with little concern for their safety. Nurses new to the mental health environment learn from accepting responsibility, taking on challenges and making adjustments, in order to develop confidence as mental healthcare professionals. What are the implications for practice? Nursing management should ensure a safe and supportive mental healthcare environment. The potential for and consequences of negative stereotyping of patients among mental health nurses should be acknowledged and addressed as it may hinder the smooth adaptation of newly qualified nurses. Although stressful experiences can help mental health nurses to develop confidence and skills to manage future demanding situations, newly qualified nurses need to be given appropriate support and debriefing to ensure challenging situations do not “go the wrong way” and decrease confidence levels. AbstractIntroductionMuch has been written about the experiences of newly qualified nurses in their first year of employment, yet not much has been heard from the perspectives of newly qualified nurses working in mental health facilities.AimTo explore and describe the adaptation process of newly qualified nurses working in public mental health facilities in South Africa.MethodFollowing a qualitative descriptive design, 11 newly qualified nurses in their first 6–18 months of employment were purposively selected from three public mental health facilities in South Africa. Data collected through unstructured individual interviews were thematically analysed.ResultsFour themes emerged from the analysis: fear related to the mental healthcare environment; self‐doubt upon meeting the expectations of the inter‐professional team; ways to adjust to the challenges; and confidence as mental healthcare professionals.DiscussionDuring the adaptation process newly qualified nurses working in mental health facilities need support to overcome their initial fears and develop self‐confidence in both managerial and therapeutic realms.Implications for practiceManagement of mental healthcare facilities needs to be cognisant of the importance of creating a supportive and safe environment that discourages negative stereotyping of patients and fosters newly qualified nurses' adaptation.
