Summary: The study found that nursing students' perception of greater Magnet-like features at work environment was associated with better clinical learning environment and satisfaction with the work environment and learning process. Greater intention to stay working in the hospital after graduation was significantly associated with greater satisfaction with the learning process and the work environment. Therefore, improving Magnet-like features in the work environment can lead to superior clinical learning environment and higher student satisfaction, which play a decisive role in their decision to stay at hospitals where they performed clinicals after graduation.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the intention to leave work in Indonesia's health sector due to its complexity. This study aims to fill the theoretical gap by examining the effect of psychosocial risk on intention to leave work, mediated by burnout syndrome and job satisfaction during the pandemic. Data collected from 306 health workers in Jakarta was analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of intention to leave work, and workplace psychosocial risk significantly impacts employees' job satisfaction and burnout. The study also highlights the mediating role of burnout syndrome and job satisfaction in the relationship between psychosocial risk and intention to leave work, suggesting their high impact on employees' inclination to leave their jobs.

Summary: This systematic review examined interventions designed to empower older people and informal caregivers in transitional care decision-making. The review found a lack of research in this area and highlighted that empowerment in decision-making is often not a central focus in transitional care interventions. The effects on actual empowerment are also largely unassessed. Consequently, conclusions on how to empower older people and informal caregivers in transitional care decision-making cannot be drawn.
