Summary: This study aims to explore the impact of 12 American Nurses Association recognized standardized nursing terminologies (SNTs) on patient and organizational outcomes. The systematic review and meta-analyses found that the use of SNTs can significantly improve patient and organizational outcomes and has predictive power. However, the current number of studies is limited and the certainty of evidence is low, indicating a need for further high-quality research to increase the evidence certainty of these relationships.

This review aims to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of the nursing process and standardized terminology in improving nursing diagnoses, interventions, and health outcomes. The review included various study designs and found variability in the level and certainty of evidence. No studies assessed intervention effectiveness or population satisfaction, indicating a need for further research. Rating: 7/10.

Summary: The aim of this study was to understand the experiences and perceptions of newly graduated nurses in relation to resilience by synthesizing existing qualitative literature. Qualitative studies were well suited to explore this concept, but the existing data is heterogenous. The results indicated that resilience can be developed over time during the transition from student nurse to professional nurse, and is influenced by personal and organizational factors.

Summary: The study found that nursing students perceive manikins as either dolls or patients, enabling them to experience what it is like to care for a patient as a nurse and be part of a team. The use of manikins helps students develop relational, communicative, and collaborative nursing skills, and facilitates the development of their professional identity.

Summary: This literature analysis reveals that there is no consistent definition of the concept of fundamental care. The main findings of the study emphasize the importance of communication, the contextual environment, leadership influence, and nurse-patient relationship in providing effective and high-quality care. This definition of fundamental care will have an impact on nurse leaders and researchers in promoting and enhancing the examination and application of fundamental care in clinical practice.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, and predictors of spiritual distress in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The highest prevalence of spiritual distress was found at 3 months after starting chemotherapy. Express suffering and lack of meaning in life were not only defining characteristics but also predictors of spiritual distress. This information can facilitate nurses' clinical reasoning and improve nursing care planning for cancer patients' spiritual well-being.
