Summary: Collegiality is a fundamental value in nursing, influencing job satisfaction, professional status, and patient care. This study aimed to clarify the concept of collegiality using Rogers' evolutionary concept analysis. The attributes of collegiality included mutual goals, equality, reciprocity, trusted advocacy, self-regulation, and belongingness. The antecedents were professional connections and self-esteem, while the consequences were strengthened professional status, job satisfaction, and improved patient care. Nurses' collegiality is a value-based concept that combines ethical and pragmatic strategies. Further development and application of this concept in clinical research and practice is important.

Summary: As AI-MC technology becomes more widely used for communication, its impact on interpersonal relationships in multinational working environments is significant. Using AI-MC tools to apologize reduces the authenticity perception and willingness to forgive. Self-disclosure of using AI-MC does not mitigate this effect. However, using a limited number of AI-MC tools does not negatively affect the perceived authenticity of the apology.

Summary: This study analyzed nurses' experiences during military conflicts since World War II, including their reasons for involvement, characteristics, consequences, and the background and implications of their experiences. The findings showed that nurses played vital roles in wars, but some nurses faced unsupported and negative outcomes after the wars. Further research is necessary, and professional support mechanisms should be developed to prevent nurses from experiencing psychological trauma, burnout, and leaving the profession. Governments can utilize nurses' war-related knowledge to enhance emergency preparedness skills and promote peace internationally.

Summary: Organizational factors have a significant impact on employee behavior in the employment relationship. This study investigates the impact of employee-organization relationship (EOR) on the work engagement (WE) and work well-being (WWB) of knowledge-based employees. The study constructs a moderated mediating model based on the Existence, Relatedness, and Growth (ERG) theory, using need satisfaction and perceived symbiotic relationship as mediators and moderators. The results support the positive effects of EOR on WE and WWB, and the mediating role of need satisfaction for relatedness and growth.

Summary: This study conducted an ethnographic case study on the sustaining work of KTPs in Jordan, Cameroon, and Nigeria. It found that the sustainability of KTPs relies on the efforts and struggles of platform actors, rather than solely on institutional and contextual factors. Additionally, the study revealed that the sustainability of KTPs is contingent on the dependencies formed between platform actors and other actors, as well as ongoing policy or research agendas.

Summary: This study presents a framework for complex care policy, highlighting the lack of readiness in health systems to address complex health and social needs. The framework, developed through critical interpretive synthesis, defines complex needs as a pattern of unmet needs resulting from fragmented health systems and services, multimorbidity, and social marginalization. A multilevel framework is proposed to inform complex care policy design, considering the individual, service, and system level. Five principles that are applicable at all levels of complex care are identified, with a focus on client-centered relationships and support in services and systems. The conceptualization of complex care policy as a multilevel intervention provides a tool for understanding unforeseen effects, but further research and contextualization for specific populations and settings are necessary.
