Self-stigma is a salient concept in mental health care. Consequences of self-stigma include increased morbidity and decreased engagement with the health care system. Cultural factors may affect self-stigma and its consequences. This article utilizes the Giger and Davidhizar transcultural assessment model to explore veteran culture and self-stigma. Veterans have their own cultural values that can affect nursing care. Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom veterans are seeking care in community settings more often than within the VA system; therefore, all nurses should be aware of the cultural needs of veterans including the impact of self-stigma.

In the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, hospitals are often stretched beyond capacity. There are widespread reports of dwindling supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly N95-type filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs), which are paramount to protect frontline medical/nursing staff, and to minimize further spread of the virus. We carried out a rapid review to summarize the existing literature on the viability of SARS-CoV-2, the efficacy of key potential disinfection procedures against the virus (specifically ultraviolet light and heat), and the impact of these procedures on FFR performance, material integrity, and/or fit. In light of the recent discovery of SARS-CoV-2 and limited associated research, our review also focused on the closely related SARS-CoV-1. We propose a possible whole-of-PPE disinfection solution for potential reuse that could be rapidly instituted in many health care settings, without significant investments in equipment.

Caring presence, especially the use of silence, is a difficult concept to teach. The use of case study or story is an excellent method to teach this aspect of nursing care. This case, describing an event in a clinical rotation of an undergraduate student, has served as an exemplar for other students. A pedagogical discussion of caring presence as a nursing dynamic and the impact on the patient, nurse, and the environment of care is presented. This story also serves to illuminate the values of the culture of the health care system and the impact that the action of one nurse can have on the care environment.

O ensaio reflexivo aborda as práticas seguras, do/no cuidado de enfermagem, no contexto hospitalar. Para tanto, analisa como o cuidar na enfermagem é ressignificado nas diferentes propositivas técnicas e políticas para a almejada ampliação das práticas seguras. Finaliza evocando a necessidade da enfermagem de se capacitar cientificamente e de comprometer-se eticamente com ações sistêmicas de avaliação e prevenção, tentando viabilizar a redução de desfechos indesejados e analisar, criteriosamente, o impacto sobre a qualidade do cuidado.Descritores: Gerenciamento de segurança; Certificação; Acreditação; Indicadores de qualidade em assistência à saúde; Contenção de riscos biológicos.Safe practices of and in the nursing care within the hospital context: one needs to think on this and thatThis reflective essay approaches safe practices of and in the nursing care within the hospital context. For such purpose, it analyzes how the nursing care receives a new meaning among the different technical and political proposals for the expected broadening of safe practices.It ends up by evoking the nursing need of qualifying itself scientifically and of committing itself ethically with systemic actions of evaluation and prevention in the attempt of making feasible the reduction of undesirable outcomes and of analyzing with criteria the impact on the care quality.Descriptors: Safety management; Certification; Accreditation; Quality indicators health care; Containment of biohazards.Prácticas seguras de la y en la atención de enfermería en el contexto hospitalario: hay que pensar acerca de eso y aquelloEl ensayo reflexivo aborda las prácticas seguras de la y en la atención de enfermería en el contexto hospitalario.

Background Missed nursing care is a complex healthcare problem. Extant literature in this area identifies several interventions that can be used in acute hospital settings to minimise the impact of missed nursing care. However, controversy still exists as to the effectiveness of these interventions on reducing the occurrence of missed nursing care. Aim This theoretical paper aimed to provide a conceptual understanding of missed nursing care using complexity theory. Methods The method utilised for this paper is based on a literature review on missed care and complexity theory in healthcare. Results We found that the key virtues of complexity theory relevant to the missed nursing care phenomenon were adaptation and self-organisation, non-linear interactions and history. It is suggested that the complex adaptive systems approach may be more useful for nurse managers to inform and prepare nurses to meet uncertain encounters in their everyday clinical practice and therefore reduce instances of missed care. Conclusions This paper envisions that it is time that methods used to explore missed care changed. Strategies proposed in this paper may have an important impact on the ability of nursing staff to provide quality and innovative healthcare in the modern healthcare system.

Background: Determination of the factors affecting missed nursing care and the impact of ethical leadership is important in improving the quality of care. Aim: This study aims to determine the missed nursing care and its relationship with perceived ethical leadership. Research design: A cross-sectional study. Participants and research context: The sample consisted of 233 nurses, of whom 92.7% were staff nurses and 7.3% were charge nurses, who work in three different hospitals in Turkey. The study data were collected using a personal and professional characteristics data form, the Missed Nursing Care Survey, and the Ethical Leadership Scale. Ethical considerations: The study was approved by the non-interventional ethics committee of Dokuz Eylül University Ethics Committee for Noninvasive Clinical Studies. All participants’ written and verbal consents were obtained. Findings: The most missed nursing care practices were ambulation, attending interdisciplinary care conferences, and discharge planning. According to the logistic regression analysis, sex, the number of patients that the nurse is in charge of giving care, the number of patients discharged in the last shift, and satisfaction with the team were determined as factors affecting missed care. No significant relationship was found between ethical leadership and missed nursing care (p > 0.05), and a weak but significant relationship was found between the clarification of duties/roles subscale and missed nursing care (r = −0.136, p < 0.05). Discussion: Ethical leaders should collaborate with policy-makers at an institutional level to particularly achieve teamwork that is effective in the provision of care, to control missed basic nursing care, and to organize working hours and at the country level to determine roles and to increase the workforce. Conclusion: The results of this study contribute to the international literature on the most common type of missed nursing care, its reasons, and the relationship between the missed care and ethical leadership in a different cultural context.
