“…The findings from this study highlight the profound need for comprehensive support systems for nurses, targeted interventions to manage emotional distress, training modules to enhance communication, and an emphasis on mindfulness. Simultaneously, the study illuminates the inherent resilience, empathy, and commitment that exist in the field of pediatric oncology (Drury et al, 2023; Jeong et al, 2023; Johnston & Dowling, 2023). As a result of this study, further research into this area could offer a more in‐depth understanding and potentially lead to the development of better support structures and training programs, thereby improving pediatric oncology nursing care during the end‐of‐life stage.…”

“…Providing optimal support for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children and their families during the end‐of‐life period necessitates the collaboration of an interdisciplinary team. Pediatric oncology nursing, with its inherent association with life‐threatening diseases in children, presents distinct challenges and experiences, significantly sculpting the realities of healthcare providers (Drury et al, 2023; Noyes et al, 2022; Wiener et al, 2019). Nursing communication in the realm of pediatric oncology has a profound impact on patient care, family experience, and even the nurses' professional and personal outlook.…”

Effective communication in end‐of‐life care for pediatric cancer patients is crucial. Yet, limited research focuses on the communication experiences of pediatric oncology nurses during this period. This study aims to investigate the communication experiences and needs of these nurses with children and their families during the end‐of‐life period. A qualitative study design with photo voice methodology was followed. The research was conducted with 16 pediatric oncology nurses working in the pediatric oncology wards of a university hospital between January and May 2023. Data were collected the “Characteristic Information Form”, “Semi‐Structured Interview Form”, and photovoice methodology. Data were analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis. Most of the nurses are at the undergraduate level, and their working experience in pediatric oncology wards ranges from 4 months to 17 years. Seven main themes emerged: Optimistic Communication‐Interaction, Mindfulness, Active Coping, Behavioral Actions, Death Uncertainty Dilemma, Interpersonal and Environmental Factors, and Discrepancy between Ideals and Reality. The study sheds light on the importance of pediatric oncology nurses' ideals versus realities upstream approach in communicating with end‐of‐life children and their families, empowering pediatric oncology nurses on the journey to ideal end‐of‐life care.

PurposeCough is one of the most common symptoms after lung cancer surgery, which seriously affects the quality of life. Little research has been conducted on patient's experiences of cough following lung surgery. This study aimed to elucidate the experience of coughing after lung cancer surgery from the patient's perspective regarding symptoms and their impacts on daily life, as well as triggers and dealing strategies.MethodsBetween June 2023 and July 2023, we conducted semi‐structured interviews with patients from outpatient clinics of two hospitals who were pathologically diagnosed with lung cancer and experienced cough after surgery through convenience sampling. The interview recordings were transcribed and analyzed by two researchers. The traditional content analysis and thematic analysis were used to identify the common codes, subthemes, and themes.ResultsA total of 28 participants were interviewed. The mean age of the participants was 55.21 years (range: 36–75 years), and 21 participants were female. Most patients (75%) were interviewed within 6 months of surgery. We identified five themes (accompanying symptoms, incentives, effects, solution, and information sources) and 12 subthemes (local symptoms, systemic symptoms, personal factors, external factors, emotion, relationship with others, reduced quality of life, medical measures, nonmedical measures, no measures, relatives and friends, and the Internet). Patients with lung cancer may experience various cough symptoms after surgery, which a variety of internal and external factors can trigger. The coughing imposes a double burden on the physical and psychological due to the negative emotions it provokes.ConclusionWe generated a concept framework of cough after lung cancer surgery, providing a basis for further development of measurement tools from the patients' perspective. The lack of knowledge related to coughing highlights the need for adequate and timely health education and professional medical care.

“…As frontline caregivers, nurses are uniquely positioned to identify the inefficiencies, gaps, and challenges within the healthcare system. Embracing innovation empowers nurses to explore novel solutions, implement evidence-based practices, and improve patient outcomes ( Drury et al, 2023 ). By encouraging creativity and promoting a culture of continuous improvement, nursing innovation research enhances the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare services.…”

BackgroundInnovation plays a crucial role in advancing nursing and healthcare. Despite its significance, there is a paucity of research examining the interplay among nursing innovative behavior, core self-evaluation, error orientation, and self-efficacy. This study, grounded in Bandura’s social cognitive theory, seeks to not only investigate the influence of core self-evaluation on nurses’ innovative behavior but also to elucidate the mediating roles of error orientation and self-efficacy within this relationship. By addressing these dynamics, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors shaping nurses’ innovative behaviors and contribute to the broader discourse on enhancing healthcare practices.DesignA cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire.SettingParticipants were recruited from 23 hospitals in 6 provinces and 1 municipality directly under the central government in China, namely Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hebei, Henan, and Shanghai.ParticipantsA total of 741 nurses enrolled in the study.MethodsThe participants completed the nurse innovative behavior scale, the core self-evaluation scale, the error orientation questionnaire, and the self-efficacy scale online in 2023. SPSS and AMOS were used for data analysis. The reporting followed the STROBE checklist.ResultsA total of 706 valid questionnaires were collected. A positive core self-evaluation was associated with more innovative behavior, and this relation was partially mediated by error orientation and self-efficacy to avoid failure. Core self-evaluation, error orientation and self-efficacy of nurses had a positive predictive effect on innovation behavior, with the path coefficients at 0.09, 0.23, and 0.39, respectively.ConclusionOur study complements the evidence on the mechanism of action between the core self-evaluation and innovative behavior. Our findings have important clinical implications for promoting innovative behavior in nurses.
