Abstract Background: Nurse play a primary care role, although existing research about improving nurse well-being mainly focus on the workplace environment, there is controversy regarding the underlying factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational and patient behaviors with nurse well-being.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in 77 hospitals in China between July 2014 and April 2015.Results: Of the 4885 respondents, 58.78% nurses reported being satisfied with their life; however, only 36.14% nurses were satisfied with their work, and 79.85% nurses reported they would not choose nursing again if given the opportunity. Within the organizational behaviors, nurses reporting very poor pay justice tended to report a higher turnover intention (OR = 2.03, 95% CI:1.29-3.21) and lower life happiness (OR = 0.67, 95% CI:0.45-0.98). Similarly, very poor attention to staff interests (OR = 1.79, 95% CI:1.15–2.77) and opinions (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.55–3.73) were strongly associated with higher turnover intention. Within the patient behaviors, a low level of patient trust was more strongly and negatively associated with job satisfaction (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.32–0.61) and life happiness (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.37–0.75) compared with unreasonable demands by patients, and more positively associated with turnover intention (OR = 5.61, 95% CI: 3.66–8.60).Conclusion: Given the widespread distress among nurses, these findings suggest that interventions targeting improved nurse well-being should be expanded from individual nurses to hospital organization and patients, reflected the internal and external hospital environment, respectively.

AbstractIntroductionThe Patient Dignity Question (PDQ) is a clinical tool developed with the aim of reinforcing the sense of personhood and dignity, enabling health care providers (HCPs) to see patients as people and not solely based on their illness.ObjectiveTo study the acceptability and feasibility of the Portuguese version of the PDQ (PDQ-PT) in a sample of palliative care patients cared for in primary care (PC).MethodA cross-sectional study using 20 palliative patients cared for in a PC unit. A post-PDQ satisfaction questionnaire was developed.ResultsTwenty participants were included, 75% were male; average age was 70 years old. Patients found the summary accurate, precise, and complete; all said that they would recommend the PDQ to others and want a copy of the summary placed on their family physician's medical chart. They felt the summary heightened their sense of dignity, considered it important that HCPs have access to the summary and indicated that this information could affect the way HCPs see and care for them. The PDQ-PT's took 7 min on average to answer, and 10 min to complete the summary.Significance of resultsThe PDQ-PT is well accepted and feasible to use with palliative patients in the context of PC and seems to be a promising tool to be implemented. Future trials are now warranted.

ObjectivesTo determine the level of knowledge and practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and the attitudes towards it and to identify the factors associated with its practice among primary care practitioners in Selangor, Malaysia.SettingThis cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected health clinics in Selangor. Data were collected from primary care physicians using self-administered questionnaires on knowledge, practice and attitudes regarding EBM.ParticipantsThe study included 225 respondents working in either government or private clinics. It excluded house officers and those working in public and private universities or who were retired from practice.ResultsA total of 32.9% had a high level of EBM knowledge, 12% had a positive attitude towards EBM and 0.4% had a good level of its practice. The factors significantly associated with EBM practice were ethnicity, attitude, length of work experience as a primary care practitioner and quick access to online reference applications on mobile phones.ConclusionsAlthough many physicians have suboptimal knowledge of EBM and low levels of practising it, majority of them have a neutral attitude towards EBM practice. Extensive experience as a primary care practitioner, quick access to online references on a mobile phone and good attitude towards EBM were associated with its practice.
