MNC was weakly but significantly correlated with nurse experience, education, and overtime hours.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the self-reported leadership practices and behaviors of health professionals after completing a leadership program and explore factors that influenced their leadership style. A cross-sectional survey was conducted online, and participants were graduates of the leadership program. The results showed that participants scored highest in transformational leadership and lowest in passive/avoidant leadership style. Higher qualifications were associated with higher scores in inspirational motivation, while years in the profession were associated with decreased contingent reward scores. Younger participants scored higher in management-by-exception compared to older participants.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between job crafting strategies and missed nursing care among nurse mentors in their dual role as nurses and mentors. The results indicate that not all job crafting strategies are effective in maintaining high-quality care among nurse mentors. Therefore, nursing policymakers and managers should provide tailored interventions that enhance the structural job resources of nurse mentors and avoid the use of challenging job demands and social job resource strategies when mentoring nursing students.

Summary: This study explored the meaning behind professional identity in intensive care nurses who cared for patients with COVID-19. The findings suggest that professional identity is evolving for nurses as they care for patients in the intensive care and that evolution affects nursing professionals' quality of life. The implications for clinical practice include enhancing nurse retention and fulfillment by recognizing and nurturing nurses' strong professional identity.

Summary: This meta-analysis assessed the predictive value of the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) for extubation outcomes. The results showed moderate accuracy, but poor sensitivity and specificity for RSBI in predicting successful extubation. Future studies should explore the combination of RSBI with other indicators and clinical experience to improve the success rate of extubation.

Summary: This study investigated the facilitators and barriers to evidence-based central venous access device care in the adult intensive care setting. The results identified work structures, processes to optimize care quality, and factors influencing staff behavior as the key factors. Facilitators to optimal care included explicit language use, work system integration, research evidence dissemination, audit, and feedback. However, there was inconsistency in practices such as audit, feedback, and patient participation.
